xcs. His after life, too, often declares
him one more amo&s a large class of
Nsntal dyspeptics. The ministry has
been swept into the rushing current.
The message HN God TO His people is
q polished serrsoS, written under ire
mendous pressure, in certain fixed
time. The study is a grist mill. Ser
nominating is a grind" Every spare
hour is invaded by an urgent call. Rest
is an incident. Work, work, work is
the main business of living. and shat
tered nerves and drained powers are
matters for post-mortem considera-
ton.
We do not disparage hard work.
The work that gives the very best that
is in man, that uses his very best pow
ers, that is intense, self-sacrificing, I'M
selfish, comes nearer to expressing the
Christlife. But work that entirely neg
lects the worker, that wears out with
never thought of building up, that
seeks gain and forgets character, that
seeks objective results and neglects
health of mind or body, that work has
at its heart selfshness. And in the
Christian life il has as its result spir-
ltual loss and failure. An examination
of LIES activities will reveal it's throb-
bing commercial spirit. 1t has gained
our country unique position in the
eyes of the world. 1t has character
lied our age as materialistic. And it
bas forced a warning from the lips
and pens of thoughtful men. Our age
is in danger of running itself out of
breath and dying of heart disease. In
its chase for wealth it may run away
from God; and in its flight it NAV
throw off those moral principles that
bind together strong government and
that are the sinewS of normal nation
al life. If the trend of the times is
away from the Sabbath as a day of
rest, then the first day of the week is
vital problem. Somewhere and some
time under Gods providence a halt
must be made. Let us pray that it
come not too late, when our resources
have slipped through our fingers and
our strength is exhausted! For we
cannot afford to disregard the time
element in true progress. We cannot
neglect rest that is essential to true
growth. God rested and proclaimed
1t necessary for life. Nature observes
IL, obeylng the law of her Creator
Nations have deliberately set aside
some stated period for rest and grown
vigorous and powerful. And in the
Individual, spiritual life develops and
strengthens by communion with God
apart from the confusing activities of
busy, distracting work. The prayer
closets have nodded the characters
that have welded the greatest infu-
ence upon the religious life of the
world. A knowledge of the soul life,
its weaknesses and dispositions, and
consciousness of Gods intimate fell
Iowship with the soul, His provision Of
strength in weakness and guidance for
all dispositions develop living testi-
monies to His power and prepares for
consistent, vital Christian life.

GODS EDUCATION OF MAN.
me ordinary Day, with liza Routine
OF Drudgcry, Is the Time for
Learning.

Gods fatherhood makes Him n
teacher. Mans childhood gives him
claim to be taught. For man is not
finished product of Gods skill, but a
product in the making. Our will. our
thoughts, our knowledge, all need
training. And because we are Gods
children one prayer we may ALWAYS
make with confidence is that of the
Hebrew psalmist long ago: "Teacb
me Thy will; for Thou art my God;
Thy spirit is good; lead me in the
land of uprightness." 1t is unthink-
able that God our Father will leave
such childlike, earnest prayer unan-
swered. Yet some of us are like fool
'sh children who refuse to learn nm
less they can go to some famous
school and listen TO some well-known
teacher. We forget that the greatest
est instructor of all dwells in every
man who turns to God with true re
pentance and seeks His presence with
a childlike faith. "He shall teach
you, said the Master. The place of
teaching matters little if we have
Gods Spirit to assign and follow up
the lessons, and if we first possess tine
scholars willing heart.
1t is, then, in the common circum-
stances of our lives that we are to
learn the lessons of Gods school. I'm
usual conditions and experiences are
like examinations which test and de-
clare what we have learned. The ordi-
nary day, with its routine of drudyery.
is the time for learning. He who de-
splses this common school of life. with
its little tasks and opportunities it's
frequent perplexities and its recurring
WEAKNESS, despises the plan of God for
his education.
To recognize Gods teaching in these
experiences of common life REQUIRES
faith and obedience Gods will for
daily work is plain enough in outline
through the revelation of the Word
and the long experience of His chill
dren. If we use our present knowI-
edge and listen for His voice in con-
science, willing ever to carry out His
will, we shall know of His teacnine.
All Christian experience is here at
one. He who desires to do shall know.
1t will not be without mistakes and
establishments, but in experience
with Him our growth in knowledge
shall proceed along with growth in
character toward completed
strength in Christ-Boston Couerepa-
tionalist.

He is a traitor to man who is not

There is suffering without sin; but

of 1t. would be incomplete. His efforts for . canal have been continuous for two daciades.
 A reference to his connection with the matter was made by the Senator, him. self. In a speech which he made near the close of the Fifty-fourth Congress (Feb. 10. fs97o. He said then: When first carne in contact with this canal subject was Ignorant of what the Senate had done about it. I did not know that resolution had been passed in executive session here to have the canal investigat- ed and it's relations to the United States ascertained."
 The Senator proceeded to explain how he became informed of the situation and the purpose of the legislative movement then under consideration, which was to prevent the capitalization. of the canal at such sum of money as that the toll upon 1t would be an excessive and exor- bitant burden upon the commerce of the United States that might pass through 1t. Senator Edmunds, who had explained the purpose of the movement to the commit tee. Senator Morgan said, thought 1t was better" and he said 1t was and 8 better'' that the government of the United States should lend the encouragement of It's credit to these men (the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua) to build the canal rather than to throw them upon the mar lrets of the world, where they would have to make great sacrifices of stock and

likewise recognized the new Republic. But Senator Morgan now arraigns the President most severely for his recogni- ton of the new Republic. He declares that Panama is as much part of New Grenada as the child in the womb Is a part of the mother. Even admitting that to be true, it can be said that if the President found the mother in the act of destroying the child in her womb, he was justified in removing the child, if by do- ing so he might save the life of both. But conditions were changed in this case. The mother supplies nutrtment to tho child while in her womb. but Panama has been supplying nutriment to Colom- bia ever since conception
 Presidents messages and departmental reports have constantly contained &C., counts of the uncertainty and confusion of the political affairs of both Nicaragua and New Grenada or Colombia, together with existing lawlessness and outrages upon the persons and property of citizens of the United States. It has been no un- usual occurrence for diplomatic repre- be before our President seeking Fecogni- tion. It is time such things should cease in so far as they affect the commercial affairs of this Government. and especial ly in so far as they relate to the removal of the natural obstruction to the com merce of the world interposed by this American Isthmus, in order to make sure the persons and property of citizens of the United States passing from one ocean to the other.

sible the legislative history of an isth- milan canal This statement shows thai the first legislation accomplished in Con- gress was the incorporation of the Mari time Canal Company of Nicaragua (Fep- ruary %, ISS9.) The corporators were men of great distinction and the highest responsibility. That company acquired from the Nicaraguan Canal Assocl- ation of New York, the conces- sion which had been granted to 1t in April, 1887 by the Nicaraguan Government and confirmed by Costa Rica. The actual construction of the canal was undertaken by the Nicaragua Construction Company, a corporation organized under charter granted June 10. 1SSD. by the State of Colorado. Work was done. outlayE made and then, for lack of funds, work prac- tically ceased in December, 1892 -and in 1895 the construction company went Into the hands of a receiver. Under these cir cumstanees 1t was sought to pass the act under consideration at the time Senator Morgan made the above statement which proposed practically to authorize the talk ing over of the affairs of the company by the United States. which Senator Mor- gan thought it was better to do than to throw the company upon the markets of the world, for the sale of their bonds.
 Effort to. Change Relations of Gov ernment to the Canal.
 The effort had been made, as you know.
