Rev. Stokes who delivered the anniver-
sary sermon before the Bible Society last
week recited the wonderful effect resulting In
a foreign land from a single copy OF the Holy
Scriptures which fell into the hands Of 6
stranger to our religion. The story was 6
beautiful one for innocent Sunday Schoo
scholars. but for old reprobates who DO moi
shut their eyes, open their mouths and swal
low all hi is thrown into their facial cavity
the historical fact was taken with a degree o.
allowance for defective memory or a lack o.
authentic In formation on the subject.
Let no one misunderstood. The sermon
proper was an able one, and bore unmistak'
able evidence of care and labor In its prepar
alton. The story of how one copy of the Bl
BILE for which the ~shopkeeper had bartereo
he had established a church by the time the
missionary had returned, is the matter o.
which We are speaking.
These wonderful stories of conversion al
ways come from foreign lands where the peo
pie know but little OF us, our language or our
religion. We might distribute Bibles with 8
liberal hand In our land of Bibles. but the
effect would be sea rcely dlscernable as COM
pared with the wonderful stories.
What we need is evidence OF the faith with
in US. II We read our Bibles, attend church
regularly, aid pray loud and long IN public
Of what's avail is 1t II we do not exemplIfy the
Christian graces in our daily III and CONVEX.
sation?
What are we TO think Of the men who pray
loud and long If they refuse to obey the
plain teachings of the word in their dealings
with their fellow men.
We were not informed II the hero in the
learned divine's story had abandoned his evil
ways and was now exemplifying the beauties
Of the religion which the wisest and the best
OF own people must study for years at g
Theological Seminary. Did this heather be
come possessed Of a knowledge of the merits
of our religion by inspiration?
When we know that we cannot change our
religion as we change our coats, and when We
remember that II. a man renounces his
religion there necessarily follows q season o.
doubt or inidelity before he can embrace q
new religion, we always lake those wonder
full stories of converted heathens with q large
grain Of salt.
1t is all we'll enough to e Bibles to the
heather, but we should look we'll TO III
teachings ourselves. while placing It in the
hands Of others.

1t is sometimes pleaded that unles
one conforms to the ways of the world
one cannot succeed in business. There
is a short answer to that plea. If the
attainment of success means wrong-do-
ing, then don't succeed. Our Savior
said, What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and forfeit his
soul. 1t is not necessary to be rich, it
Unnecessary to be righteous.

NEW YORK POST OFFICE.
No Investigation Contemplated at This
Time

Rumors are again in circulation to the
effect that the New York post office is to re-
ceive thorough investigation at the hands
of inspectors under direct orders from
Postmaster General Wynne. Responsibility
for this is attached to the old complaint of
Postmaster Van Colt of that office, that the
regular annual ard semi-annual inspections
OF his office were not fair.
That any investigation of the New York
Office is contemplated at this time or in the
Immediate future is matter unrecognized
at the Post Office Department. but the fact
is not denied there that such investigation
may be called for1in dueeo of time by
ordinary caution and a desire on the part
OF Postmaster General Wynne to improve
the general service all along the line.
New York has at no time in recent his
tory had what might be termed an ideal
postal service, though this was, in no small
measure, due to the congested condition of
the work and r.Ie lack of space for the
proper handling of the enormous and con-
stantly growing mails of the metropolis
Inspection of post offices is carried on regu-
larly and reports made to the department
Oh the results If there is to be any extra
ordinary investigation of the New York
Office the plans for it's prosecution have not
been yet outlined and assurance at the de-
rartment is that there will be none until
the annual reports are finished and other
important routine work of the general serv-
ice cleared away.
