1t begins to look as if the repub-
licans have decided to leave certain
states to be stumped by the committee
treasurer.-Baltimore Sun.
Now, if the democrats were hav-
ing a row in one of their "sure states"
such as the republicans are having in
Wisconsin. it might be considered the
natural thing. Think of such a fuss,
though, among the republicans, in a
presidential year, in a state where some
of their smartest politicians hold forth.
Cincinnati Enquirer. -
One of the republican papers says
that it is not necessary for the president
to make any campaign speeches, be-
cause 1.-THE American people know where
he stands on every issue that concerns
their welfare" Where does he stand on
the labor question and on the Philip
pine question? He studiously avoids
these questions. And where does he
stand on the second-term question:

If any man has up to this time

must the cartoonists who have been
asking who or what is behind the demo-
cratic candidate. By resisting the
clamorous appeals that he go on the
stump, Judge Parker has shown once
more that there is no one behind him;
that his own judgment and conscience
control his actions.-Ns Y. Post Qnd.).

as soon as they are reasonably prepared
for it. This means independence for
the Filipinos in the fullest sense of the
word. When prepared, they may gov
ern themselves, as the Cubans do, unas-
sisted, unless asking help; undirected
unless asking advice; untrammeled by
our politics, unincumbered by our poll
ticians, and uncontrolled by us.
Secretary Taft has said:
".A promise to give ultimate independ-
ence will be construed by the more violent
element, disposed to agitation, to be a
promise to grant independence in the near
future and during the present generation.
The success of the experiment we are max
ing in the Philippines depends on having
the Filipinos understand that we are there
for their benefit, but that we expect to
stay there indefinitely in working out the
good we propose to do them"
Issues Are Defined.
"Here we have the issue clearly de-
fined. The republican party stands for
the %subjugation of defenseless foreign
peoples. Democracy stands for free
dom.
1--WE relieved Spain of this thorn in
her flesh, the Philippines, to plunge it
into our own. We paid and are paying
enormously for the privilege Of per-
forming the operation.
"Spain had been trying to conquer the
islands since the early decades OF the
sixteenth century. She had never quite
succeeded. That is not surprising.
Every true American would despise a
man who would not fight to the last
gasp for the land of his Preside and
the birthplace of his babes.
DO not our illustrious ancestors in
the revolution do so? For what does
civilized man revere the memory of
Washington? Are not the Irish still
chaing under the English yoke? Will
the Boer s%ympathizer refuse his SYM
pathy to the Filipino patriot defend
ing his hearthstone against the Spanish
spoiler and tyrant? Do we not honor
every man who has sacrificed at free
dom's holy altar?
when the battleships of our great re-
public destroyed the Spanish war ves-
sells, the Filipinos hoped that freedom
for which they had struggled so long
was finally approaching. Our history
seemed to guarantee that our ambition
would be to see them free, happy and
prosperous.

Democracy's candidate for the Presi-

formal speech at Esopus, N. Y, on Satur-

tied to the Philippine question, upon
which Mi. Parker spoke rs follows:

all over the country. Permit me to call
your attention to the portion Of the dem

one set of avs for those "at home" and an
other, a different set oflaws, absolute in their
character, for those 'in the colonies"

laws, in c%onsonance with the American
constitution. the territory of that people
ought not to be part of the American do

for the Cubans, and that it is our duty to

was the splendid courtesy of the kaiser
to the young grand duchess OF Meek

duke Of Cumberland. When the Eighth
regiment of g%renadiers was marching
past, the kaiser galloped from where
he was posted and invited the grand
duchess to ride by his side as he led

+ T is not a new Gospel which this age
L of culture and refinement has discov-
cred, nor is this twentieth century to
see a new door opened into the Kingdom
of Jesus Christ. The modern liberal
preacher OF the day may arrogate to him
self great wisdom and learning and may
evolve a doctrine and method which will
appeal to the unregenerate but cultured
and polished-that is the renovated
lives of men, and bring them within the
pale of the church, but he can never gain
the keys Of Heaven which will unlock
unknown and unheard of doors and ad-
nit the multitudes who are living like
Christians, but who have never felt the
convicting and converting power OF
Gods Spirit. 1t may prove a source of
qualification to enroll the names of such
upon the books of the church, but it can
not prove pleasing and acceptable to
God. Until God writes across the blue
sky of the heavens a revocation of the
conditions laid down in His Word by
which man is to be admitted to the King
dom of Heaven, l cannot believe or ac-
cept anything but the doctrine of the new
birth. 1t Is not a renovated race which
is to walk the streets of Heaven and en-
Joy delightful fellowship and commun-
ion with God and His dear Son. There is
no place for "made-over" man in Heav-
en-. He must be a new creature. He must
be born again. He must know Christ as
the Saviour from sin. and the One in
Whom he becomes acceptable to God.

identify themselves with the visible
church on earth. Not long since at a
gathering of ministers and lay delegates
of one of the large denominations .
prominent pastor of one of the large
city churches delivered a formal address
on the topic: Evangelism for an Age
of Culture" in which he emphasized. and
reiterated the statement that the old
Gospel of emotion and feeling was being
su~pplanted by a religion of what he
called reason Men we're no longer to
be influenced in the old way by the Cos
pei. The test was no longer to be what
a man experienced in his heart, but what
he was In his life. He told the story Of
a young woman Of sweet and lovely
character whose life was devoted to
works of b%enevolence and philanthropy,
but who was not a member OF any
church, neither felt inclined to be. He
told of how in conversation with her he
asked her il she did not love Jesus and
of her startled and perplexed express
sion. What do you mean by loving
Jesus?" she asked. And he explained
that 1t was loving the good and doing
good. and living In harmony with the
teachings of Christ. He told her she was
a Christian without knowing it. And
this cultured and benevolent young
woman eventually accepted his view OF
the case and united with his church.
God grant that the work of Gods grace
had been wrought in her heart and that
she was really born into the Kingdom OF
God, but such views and methods as
were held and pursued by this pastor
are pernicious and dangerous, and are
the means of getting into the churches
an unregenerate element which event.
ually may destroy the spiritual life and
~evangelizing force of the church. 1t is
a usurpation of the Divine prerogative!
1t is destructive of the true mission of
Christ TO the world! 1t is a direct and
positive ignoring of the plain teachings
OF the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Jesus been talking to the sinful
woman who had come in repent
ance to anoint His head and feet with

hated publican, it would not be strange
that confusion should arise as to the
need of and meaning of regeneration.
1t can be readily understood how the
woman of the town and the extortionate
tax-gatherer needed to be made new
creatures, but when it was Nicodemus.
that splendid, God-fearing and Cod
like man, who was being plainly and
emphatically told that except he was
created anew by the Spirit of God, no
matter what his standing in the syna-
gogue and the community, he could
never see the Kingdom of God, it puts
a different light upon the matter. And.
oh. men and women of to-day. who are
conscientiously striving to live accord
ing to the precepts of Gods Word. who
are giving of their time and their effort
to make the lives of others brighter
and better, oh, ye modern Nicodemuses.
do not be blind to this great and solemn
condition which bars your entrance to
the Kingdom Of God! God cares not
for your standing among men il your
standing with Him has not been made
sure through the cleansing and saving
power of Jesus blood. God cannot ac-
cept your righteousness. If you are ac-
cepted at all 1t must be through the
righteousness and merits of Gods dear
Son. Why cling to the delusion Of a
renovated human rae gaining the shell
ter and safety OF Heaven when Jesus

TOMMY TOYMAN.

TOMMY TOYMAN.
When the little children
Are all asleep in bed,
Comes old Tommy Toyman,
With his noiseless tread.
No one sees him coming,
Creeping up the stairs,
In the tasseled nightcap
That he always wears.
A pair of great round spectacles
He has upon his nose,
And straight up to the nursery
And to the toys he goes.
When old Tommy Toyman
Finds the little toys
Torn and scratched and broken
By careless girls and boys,
He sends each one bad dreams,
To dance above their heads;
So all night they see them,
Whirling round their beds.
But when Tommy Toyman
Finds that, after play,
The toys are all in order,
And neatly put away,
Then puff! he blows the good dreams
Like bubbles, shining bright,
To float above the children's heads
And round their beds all night:
That 8 what Tommy Toyman
. Does, I've heard it said,
When the little children
Are all asleep in bed.
