New York, June 21.-The annual re-
port of the American tract society IL
made public, and states that i'll TINS
society a consensus has been reached
as to what the Bible teaches on many,
if not all, essential points, as held IN
common by the evangelical
lions, in printing it in various forms
and many languages and in sending
it to the people in all quarters OF the
globe. The new year begins with a
revenue from rentals from the socie-
tvs building which will yield a con-
siderable sum available as u sinking
fund toward removing the bureau OF
debt.
The new publications. distinct from
periodicals, brought out by the So
ciety during the year are So in num-
Der. Of these Sc were volumes II
90 tracts.
The society is now publishing seven
periodicals-four in English, two IN
German and one in Spanish.
The aggregate circulation of these
periodicals during the year has been
3,o9o,O 900. Missionary colportage finds
among the immigrants ~anarchistic
organizations infidel literature hostile
to Christianity and grossly immoras
and c%atechisms for the young. Col
portage among the immigrants in cit
les has been diligently prosecuted
The Gospel truth has been printed in
1856 languages or dialects, and the
col~porteurs and gratuitous distrib-
utors scatter it far and wide among
the people. The demand for Christian
literature in the mission stations
throughout the world is greater thar
it has been for three quarters OF g
century. On the Pacific coast col
portage has a peculiar power in thu
families, where church going ant
sabbath keeping are less than in mos
states.
Over 1900 missionary colporteur'
have been commissioned in the more
than 60 years of the society's a%ctivit,
in the Mississippi valley to carry tn
Gospel to the homes of the settlers II

Another writer says he sees great
danger for the sovereignty of Colom-

declares that the United States can
buy control of the French company,
as Great Britain did in the case OF
the Suez canal, and then denounce
the treaty of 1916, guaranteeing the
sovereignty of Colombia. The writer
adds that if at the same time the Eu-
ropean powers decide to push their
claims against Colombia, the repub-
lie being unable to comply with them,
a repetition of the naval demonstra-
ton against Venezuela is possible,
(which is more insulting to the ma

The company will protect its mem

The company will have a backing
of $100, 000, 900. The executive COM

ed and now are almost complete with
a company organized and with prac-
tically unlimited capital. d. M. Par

above outline.
"While the plans are somewhat in a

have little doubt that they will be
worked out to a feasible basis, and l
have confidence in the new company
being able to accomplish much good.

is likely that the membership will be
kept entirely secret, only the officers

be done, organized labor will never

Just as soon as the schools open again
I shall send inspectors throughout the

employed in factories and stores. and
to see that the laws are enforced.
That is the time when we can work
