atmospheric nitrogen.

In connection with the proposal to
utilize the atmospheric nitrogen in the
production by electricity of nitrates,
the fear has been expressed that to re-
sort to that means on an extensive
scale might be accompanied with con-
siderable danger. No fear need be SER
iously entertained on this point. The
atmosphere covering square mile of
the earth's surface would furnish suffi-
cient nitrogen for ten years supply of
sodium nitrate at the rate of 100000
tons of nitrates year. To put it in
another way-had the fixation of nitro
gen from the atmosphere by electrical
synthesis and absorption been begun
some ninety years before the beginning
of the Christian era and been contin-
ued up to the present time, with the
same annual output of 100000 tons
of sodium nitrate, the effect on the at
mosphere as whole would have been
SO slight as not to show itself by the
ordinary methods of gas analysis. In
fact, only a millionth of the available
nitrogen would have been consumed

n union there is strength" In char
ity there is an inspiration to good
deeds. There are many ways in which
the world is being made better and in
which we can take no active part. We
can, however, whenever opportunity af-
fords, do or say something that will en-

There is recompense in all this too,
for it lightens our own burdens as well.
The Buttinsky's and hard luck fiends
may not believe this but just let them
try it.
WE have not reached our present
position through the commission of
any of those lasting deeds which make
men known to future history. On the
other hand, they have caused us to be
temporarily hidden away from public
view. But still there is hope, for no
man ever reached his highest level in a
single bound. The star Of hope is ever
lowering about us inspiring a desire
for power, wealth, fame and some of
the better things of life, and while
present conditions act as checkmate
to their immediate realization, yet we
need not despair. AS there is no roy
al road to knowledge, neither is there a
path of roses to our cherished desires.

A Question Answered.
Y IE often hear it asked: "How
~ is it that the workingman
Y Y of. today has. so little rever-

cuCo IOr tQ0 CnuTCn now
is it that the church has lost its hold
over the great mass of the people in our
large cities and towns? Is Christianity
failure in gaining the love and faith
of the proletaire, and like other creeds
becoming obsolete, being no longer
adapted to the times ?"
Those who seriously and candidly try
to answer these questions, and who
have a tolerable knowledge of the
opinions and views of the absenting
crowds. and have also fair knowledge
of church organizations and church
systems, think the questions are not so
difficult to answer.
First, one of the greatest factors in
bringing about this state of things is
wealth in its bearing and influence on
the church and church member. Half
century ago there was one place
where rich and poor met on common
level. The writer has seen the wife of
an English earl kneel at the communion
table next to the humblest and poorest
tenant whose dress was cotton gown
and cap. Half century ago the church
was place where people went to wor-
ship and where dress was not an i'm
portant factor; where the poor were
not looked down upon by the better
dressed worshippers. Now all is
changed. We have churches for the
rich and mission churches for the poor.
There are churches in the large cities
which if entered by working man
with his wife and daughter the usher
would look upon him with supercil-
ious, contemptuous mien, and if he
deigned to show the party to seat it
would be some out-ot-the-way corner
or behind some pillar. The idea of a
laborer entering Pullman car church!
If he is audacious enough to do so, the
glances he gets will freeze him even in
July. Then the contrast in dress! He
goes away having learned that most
churches are fashion parlors where
people congregate to see and be seen.
If he must go to church, says Wealth,
let him 60 to the mission churches.
That is what they are built for. There
he will learn to be content with the po-
sition in which Providence has placed
him.
Well, the working man naturally re-
sents this. Wealth makes too marked
division in the world nowadays; but
when he sees it do so in Gods house,
and when he sees so many Of the pas
tors of wealthy churches not only &C
quiescing in such practices, but strong
ly advocating and supporting them, he

to facilitate quick transportation and
to be systematic, must and does have,
certain established rules that the pub
lie must observe if they wish to be car
rjed on the cars. It is almost needless
to say that every man, woman and
child living in a city know these rules
by heart. Yet it is only the intelligent
ones who obey them, thereby saving
themselves lots of bother and trouble
and the car crew from impatience and
sometimes rudeness.
E. d. M.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-10-22

does not have very high estimation
of the Christianity and charity of them.
The second factor and more power
full one is the clergy itself. Half CEN
tury ago the pastor was frequent Wis
itor in the homes of his congregation.
He shared their joys and sorrows, SYM
pathized with them in grief and shared
their burdens. Now all this is changed.
The clergyman has his study in the
church and notice posted outside the
church states that he is there from 10
to II a. m. waiting to see his parishion-
ers. Those who wish to see him must
60 to him or must go without his ad-
vice and help. This practice is certain
ly carrying out the spirit of the Mas
ter's life with vengeance. It is walk
ing in the footsteps of Him who went
about doing good. "Inasmuch as ye
have done it to the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me-"
Another factor, and perhaps the most
powerful of all, is that from the church
of Christendom one hears oratory,
rhetoric, eloquence, sacred cantatas,
superb sopranos, thrilling contraIto or
tenor vOices-in fact, much to interest,
entertain and amuse; but of the great
truth which such edifices were built to
promulgate, Christ crucified as mans
salvation,-very little. Certainly the
pastor takes text from the Bible: but
as rule, for all the connection there
exists between it and his discourse, it
might just as we'll been from Homer
or Shakespeare. Now if we briefly
glance at the period of greatest
church influence and good, and the
greatest of preachers, we find the CEN
trail doctrine of Christianity is the one
central theme. Such men as Wesley,
Spurgeon, Moody, Mills and Gordon,
tho they were popular in the highest
sense, their whole theme was Christ.
No tiowery discourse, no disquisition
on semitic subjects-naught but
Christ. And now how different! The
reason that today the church and the
individual Christian are making such
small progress in evangelizing the
world is because they either do not
know or have forgotten that the su-
preme mission of Jesus is only to bring
salvation. Christ did not come to es-
tablish churches; He came to save sim
ners. The church ought to be charita-
BILE, philanthropic, educational and
helpful it is true; but first of all it must
be evangelical and it can only be that
by being again baptized with Christ's
spirit of meekness, humility and love.
All the work of the earliest Apostolic
church as disclosed in The Acts clust-
cred around the work of soul saving.
Love formed the great link binding
together the different classes of society,
and from then until the present we
find it has only been the spirit and
work of evangelizing carried on in the
spirit of love that has been productive
of fruit. The church cannot improve
upon Christ's supreme mission to the
world. "Tho speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, and tho 1 have
the gift of prophecy and understand
all mysteries, and all knowledge: and
tho have all faith, so that 1 could re-
move mountains; and tho bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and tho L
give my body to be burned, and have
not love, it profiteth me nothing"
S. d.
