Caleb Powers has written another
book denying his guilt in the Goebel
murder conspiracy. For more than
five years this man has escaped pun
ishment for crime committed in
his own Office under his personal
direction. Unless he wants to con-
fess, it is time for law-abiding
people to quit reading the rot he
sends out in book form.

Now is it right for one to suffer
for another? Is it right for a
mother to suffer for her child; is it
right for friend to suffer for a
friend; is it right for a patriot to
die for his country; was it right that
the Son of God should die for sin
ners? The preacher demonstrated
beyond doubt that it was right.
Then he asked Has one the right
to accept of the benefits of the suf-
fering of another?" Yes if the suf-
fering is prompted by love. God
50 loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever''
etc. Some people assert that it is a
selfish principle that will accept the
benefits of another and they have no
right to do so. Did the children who
were saved from death have a right
to live because a village blacksmith
threw himself between them and a
rabid dog and gave up his life for
them? Did the old soldier have a
right to live because his soldier son
was shot in his stead? If all men
and women would let Christ live in
their souls then we would have no
strikes, no unkindness, no prisons, no
labor troubles, no courts of justice,
the lawyers would have to close
their doors and go out of business.
There would be no war and the can
non would be moulded into plow
shares and pruning hooks. Men
would not kill each other. Would a
man, if he was willing to give up
his life for another want to kill him?
The whole world would be at peace
and the great battleships would be
torn to pieces. This world would be
a heaven.
At the conclusion of this most
powerful sermon a large number of
people, some connected with differ
ent churches, arose and asked for
the prayers of Gods people.

The Dixon Meetings Continue
to Draw Great
Crowds.
1000 SUNDAY NIGHT.
Only Three More Days Until
The Revival VIII Come
to a Close.

The Dixon meeting continues, with
absorbing interest.
The attendance Friday night was
perhaps larger than at any time dur
ing the meeting and the singing was
especially fine. Prof. Excel himself
seemed to enter into this service
with more than usual enthusiasm.
Miss Nellie Donaldson sang No 1874
"You led me to Jesus, the audience
joining in the chorus. This was UNI
doubtedly the best rendition of the
meetings. 1t is a soul-inspiring
song. Prof. Excel is the author of
both words and music and it is one
of the very best of his numerous
compositions. Miss Donaldson is
one of our sweetest singers. She
has highly cultivated voice of I'M
usual sweetness, and perhaps no one
enjoyed hersinging so much as the
author as he heard his words and
music from one so competent to car
ry to his ear the realization of his
conception of the gratitude and joy
of newborn soul.
DR.. Dixon took as the foundation
of his remarks Luke "a: 26; Acts IL:
| 8; Romans 5: II. The great question
is; Ought not Christ to have suf-
fered these things, and to enter into
his glory?" The doctrine of the
atonement runs through the scrip
ture as the scarlet thread runs
through the cordage of the English
navy. Is it right that one person
should suffer for another? Was it
right for Christ to have suffered for
sinners? The speaker referred to the
foolishness of Christian Scientists,
who commended that there is no re-
atty in sickness, pain, guilt or con-
domination, and denounced their
pretended faith as the greatest
apostasy of the age, as well as the
most subtle.
But sin is a great reality. There
may be embryonic goodness in man.
Gods law has been violated and the
penalty must be paid. The law must
be satisfied-divine justice demanded
it. The forbearance of God is Won
derful, but Christ is the justifier of
them that believe on him. He
said, reverently, that it was impos-
sible for God to be merciful to the
sinner except through Christ on
Calvary-to be merciful to the con-
demned sinners. Christ on the cross
was the proclamation of Gods
righteousness, infinitely just and in
finitely merciful. Christ must needs
suffer, that is, it was only through
his death on the cross that God
could be merciful to man and Christ
become the justifier.
1t is on Calvary that God meets
the sinner in holiness and purity and
now he can be merciful. The
grace of God is sufficient for the
human race. but it is only efficient
for those who believe on the Lord
Jesuf Christ. It is big enough to
covef everyone from Abraham to

The Woman on the Street.

Commissioner MCADoo intends to

preventing dissolute women from solicit

in the House Of Savoy. He sees. on the
one hand, that whereas the First French
Republic, when it became consolidated
under the Consulate, concluded Con-
cordat with the Papacy, and whereas
the Second French Republic sent an
army to Rome to confirm the Pope's con-
troll of the Eternal City, the Third French
Republic, profoundly influenced by So
cialists has entered on campaign the
undisgused purpose Of which is the
elimination of the Catholic religion from
the State.
The Socialist uphoders Of the Rouvier
Cabinet are resolved to divorce the State
from the Church in France. limo monarch
has Catholicism found 80 implacable a
foe. Compared with ex- Premier CoMBEs,
who, though not ostensbly Socialist,
played the Socialist game, the Suabian
Emperors were pety personifed, VIC
TOR EMMANUEL was filial champion
and BISMARCK was benefactor. The
grandson of VICTOR EMMANUEL would be
rejoiced if the head Of the Church would
condcscend to accept the subsidy voted
three decades ago by the Italian Parla
ment, and instead of bidding his subjects
see in clericalism their enemy he is
anxious to secure its cooperation at
the ballot box Moreover, in view of the
power exhibited and Of the intentions
proclaimed by Socialists in the last
Chamber Of Deputies, the present
Pope cannot but recognize that the
very foundations of the social order,
which tho Catholic Church is pledged to
support are threatened with subversion
throughout the Italian peninsula. There
was but one way in which such catas-
trophe could be averted permanently,
namely by withdrawal of the iniunc-
ton which forbade Catholic voters. who
constitute about one-haf Of the regis
tered electorate in italy, to take part in
Parliamentary elections.
That P1us \. was becoming alive to the
necessity Of adapting the policy Of the
Vatican to changed political conditions
was indicated by the fact that at the
last general election for members Of the
Italian Chamber Of Deputies not only
large bodies Of Catholic laymen in Lom-
hardy voted against Socialist candi-
dates, but in the city of Rome itself
several ecclesiastics known to be con-
nected with the Vatican pursued SINH
lar course. Only one deduction could be
drawn from the failure of such depart
ure from rule enforced for thirty years
to receive Pontifcal rebuke. What
might have been construed however, as
a transient and reluctant acquiescence
is now shown, by this remarkable encyc-
lical of Plus X, to have been the pre-
cursor of an avowed and deliberate
policy.

The Awakening OF Asia.

To THR EDITOR or THE SrS-Sr: The effect
Of the continuous success OF the Japanese
against Russia Is spreading 40 widely among
men Of color the world over that general
revolt against the domination OF the ~hlte
races in some form is thing to be looked Tor
As an instance the college at Lahore in Brltish
India founded by the Arya Samaj in memory
OF Swami Dayananda Saraswati has opened
classes for technical arts and physical science,
and for the teaching OF French and Japanese.
For instruction IN the latter language the ser
vices OF n professor from the Imperial l nj
versity at Toxic have been engaged. while
stimulus has been given to the sending oi
young Indians to Japan to qualify Tor posi-
tons in factories and mining industries IN
India. At the present moment number OF
Indian students are in this country working IN
establishments, pcrfecting themselves in the
knowledge Of electrical machinery and various
arts
But 1t Ia not the more highly developed
intelligence of Asia only that Is preparing TO
enter into the material field in competition
with the white man. The relatively undeve-
oped African IL beginning to assert himself.
and the cry Of Africa for the Africans has been
raised. Curionslv enough. the first manifesto
lions OF the revolt are in the development OF
what ia called Ethioplanism In the Christian
communities, in the rejection Of white con
troll in the ADMINISTRATION and services OF the
churches. This movement Is strongest in
South Africa but is spreading into West and
East Africa.
| am informed that from one OF the stations
OF one OF the American missionary societies
a request was lately received for the with
drawal OF It's missionaries and ,he closing OF
its establishment. In rather plain language the
signers OF the request made it unders God that
they had had enough Of the white man. The
same spirit is showing itself in the Cape Colony.
where one OF the most influential native papers
arraigns the churches for throwing their in
huence into politics and in West Africa the
Pc oplr are called on by some OF their leaders
to leave the missionaries alone. as their I'M lu-
ence has not been in any way conducive 10
their material or political progress: and the
wonderful development Of Japan. non
Christian nation. is held up to admiration.
Even among Mohamnedans there ia
tendency to come out Of their shell and TO
study the literature OF other peoples
remark able instance il the translation OF the
| lad Of Homer into Arabic by one OF the stn-
dents Of the Gordon College at khartnm,
The work is said to have created such Juror
among Arab and Egyptian students and others
that the copies OF it have been sold as fast as
they could be turned out.
Who can tell what the effect Of all these new
movcments generated by the outstanding Of an
Asia,ic race against the lordly European and
