There are renewed reports that around
the Republic Iron and Steel Company
there is TO be organized formidable
rival ofthe steel trust. When there iS
more business than the companies can
take care OF it does not make much diff
erence whether the steel companies are
large or small. "When," says the Phil
adelphia Record, "lhere is not enough
business to 60 around it is not at all GER
tain that the companies with the biggest
capitalization, much of which is water,
and the largest bonded debts, on which
interest must be paid whether earned or
not, will weather the storms of commerce
as well as the small companies whose
capital is not distended and who owe
little or nothing"

ACCORDING to latest reports received
from the orient the boycott in China
has become so serious that a number of
American houses have closed their
doors until the conditions change.
Americans returning from China de-
clare that the anti-Americau boycott,
instead of abating, has increased, and
that American trade has fallen off more
than so per cent. Still, for months past
the U. 5. consuls in China have been
sending almost daily reports to this
country stating that the boycott had end
ed! These consuls either don't know
their business or are working under in
structions.

Parents ReistionIto the Sunday School

No thinking man will question
The importance of Sunday school
work. But how to attain the
best practical results may be n
question to call out many different
opinions.
If the child mind be regarded as
u blank page upon which the
teacher is TO write Scripture texts,
1t would seem II simple duty.
Considered rather us Il living soul
that must be fed and trained. the
task becomes quite a different one.
But it seems to me that the child
may he more truthfully considered
Il bundle of motives and impulses,
neither good nor bad, but capa BILE
OF either, so that the teacher 6
task is to bring Scripture truths to
bear upon these motives in such u
way as to direct them in channels
OF purity and righteousness. But
who is equal to thisY Few, if any,
are able TO perform such a task as
it should he. Nor is this intedded
as criticism upon the average

band of Christian men and women
does not exist. Rut even at b st
they must acknowledge their in
ability to do perfectly the duty be-
fore them.
They have not sufficient time Tor
such a task. The public school
teacher has six hours n day, five
days in the week. The Sunday
school teacher twenty minutes, one
day in the week. The school room
should be the recitation-roon; the
home, the study hall. The little
time allotted to the teacher on
Sunday should not be given TO n
hasty grabbing up of few frag-
ments of truth as they may read
from the lesson leaf in anticipation
Of the teachers question. Pat
rather the the careful setting to-
gether in systematic order the
truths already learned before the
Sunday school hour. Such a view
Of the matter places upon the pa
rent the duty of instructing the
child and helping him to learn
these sacred truths before going TO
Sunday. school.
And just here may be added this
further duty of the parent, to see
that the child puts into daily prac-
tice the lessons taught on Sunday.
Some one has said in regard to
the Word, that the boy in Sunday
school soaks it in, and that in the
Junior G. E. Society he sweats it
out. But rather let me say that if
III the Sunday school he soaks it
in, the home is the place TO sweat
it ont. But how can parents ex-
pect the boy to learn the Word on
Sunday and live it during the week
if they themselves neither learn
nor live that Wordi No matter
how positive the precept, it is
never so powerful as the example.
Parents. it you want your boy to
go to Sunday. school, go with him
if You want him to learn the word
of God, study it with him; if you
want him to practice its precious
precepts. practice them with him
You would feel deeply humili
ated if you thought your boy
would grow up to be ignorant OF
such things as are taught in the
public schools and colleges; sc
much so that you are willing tC
make any sacrifice within voul
power to give him an education
But would you on his Commence

initiation at the thought of his ig-
norance of the word of Godi You
would feel guilty of the grossesl

into the mind Of the child a desire

Kalamazoo, Mich.-rhat the noted

TO be about 100000. The althoT OF

correspondent that it will eventually
be necessary for him TO 90 TO Madrid
10 carry out the deal. The lstter Ii

The form aud cOatcnts Of the letter
indicate that only men supposed to be
rich are being approached by these
swindlers, and the persistence Of the
operators, who still seem to be in bust
ness AT the end OF several years, leads
to the suspicion chat they must find a
considerable number of victims among
shrewd business men in the country.
