Hail, Public opinionl

Some gratifying exhibitions of the force
and quality of public opinion have been
given during the past few months 1t has
been seen to be an asset to the nation
worthy of being put over against the dis
closures of graft and corruption, and over
against the strife between classes and be-
tween countries The essential soundness
of the public judgment encourages opti-
mism Take the worlds response to the
peace of Portsmouth. How plain 1t is that
the times when men preferred to make
warfare against one another are In the
past The expressions from emperor to
peasant, from president to hodcarrier, make
1t evident that though the era OF general
disarmament may be distant, yet the heart
of the world already reyolts from settling
questions by means of armies and battle
ships. Then again, the universal condem-
nation of methods in vogue in the manage
ment of great insurance companies, and
the outery against the prostitution of pub
lie office in our great cities to personal ends
are equally significant. Shocking as the
disclosures have been, the instinct of re-
pugnance to them shows how exceptional is
infidelity to trust In business and politics
today
Hereafter rogues will have to reckon even
more constantly with public opinion. They
may be able to manipulate legislative bod
les, and to have everything their own way
in the inner circles Of their activity, but the
fear of exposure 10 going to be more and
more of deterrent from evil The busi-
ness man Of the Rockefeller type may be
able to pursue his rapacious course with
out hindrance from the courts or the police
power, but he cannot defy public opinion
and keep his standing as a gentleman and
Christian. So too, more and more of our
policies of state will have to be framed with
a view to their being acceptable to the pub
lie mind. Indeed. public opinion as well as

Memory.
From the PhiladelphIa Ledger.

from thP tHliaueipnid i-edEti.
Tennyson addresses Memory as Thou
who stealest fire from the fountains of
the past to glorify the present" and calls
upon it to strengthen and enlighten him.
But Shakespeare makes Henry " beg
that sleep will steep his senses in forget
fulpess. Much, indeed, depends upon what
is stored up in our memory as to whether
we would arouse it or forever quench it
In the waters of Lethe. The very fact
that the ancients conceived the idea of
Lethe, the river of Oblivion,
whereof who drinks
Forthwith his former state and being forgets--
Forgets both joy and grief pleasure and PAIN
suggests that mankind has experienced
more pain than pleasure from the gift of
memory.
We do not care to theorize as to the
part of the brain in which memory has
its storehouse, but, as Grant Allen says:
Cell after cell and fiber after fiber in
the numberless minute elements of the
brain have been indissolubly connected
by channels of nervous communication,
impressed and modified by acts and ids1s,
till the whole has become a supreme
register of past experiences, ready tc be
called up at q moments notice by the
wonderful power of association" How
ever 1t may be, it is true that we have a
memory, sometimes divine in its beauty,
but often as hideous as that shape which
Milton described as born Of sin and satan.
Have you ever realized what tyrant
memory is? Have you ever discovered
that you cannot control 1T, but that 1t
will intrude upon you at all times and
seasons. opportune and fnopportune. and
compel you to listen to its voice whether
you will or not? Psychologists formulate
laws to which they tell US that memory
is subject: but there are occasions when
II seems to be above law; In fact, to be
lawless. Often when we are happtest a
flash Of memory will come unbidden; we
know not how or why or whence 1t comes;
but come it does, and we are ready to ex-
claim at the exquisite torture 1t tnf1ictS
Often, also, when some sorrow oppresses
us, memory just as inconsequentially
brings up some recollection which miti-
gates the sorrow, throws halo around it
and even turns it into joy. Samuel Rog-
ers wrote Of the Pleasures of Memory"
and many a poet has descanted on its
charms; but memory has its pains also.
and Is unfailing and unfeeling in its In
sistence that you shall suffer these as
we'll as enjoy the pleasures.

1t is an interesting study to watch the
workings of passion in the plan of campaign
adopted by the Pharisees and the priestly
power in order to nullify the undeniable in
fiuence of Jesus Christ. Those men were
human and. in consequence. envy and jeal-
ousy largely ruled their actions
But they were very shortsighted, too. as
we are all apt to be when dominated by un-
worthy motives They did not seem to real
ize that they were arraying themselves
against power more mysterious than grav-
itation and more mighty than Niagara
Christ had performed miracles by healing
the sick, the lame, deaf and blind. This
however. might be the result of some occult
power exerted by Jesus, which the intelli-
gent minds of the day had not yet appre
hended.
It is true He had one day stopped fun
eral procession and restored young man
10 his widowed mother. But it was barely
possible the young man was not actually
dead-only in a trance. Jairus' daughter
was not dead to be sure, for did i.ot Jesus

Work for Everybody.

From the Congregationalist and Christian World
The world today Is sensitive to the SYM
pathetic touch of any one who wants to
guide it toward higher moral levels In
whatever direction we turn our eyes we
may see nations and races ready to be
helped or ready to help others. In every
nation our fellow-citizens are at work to
hold forth Christian ideals and to bring the
whole world to accept the leadership of
Christ; and all parts of the world are
brought into such close relations that what
influences one part affects the whole. We
who believe that through prayer we work
with God, who hear the call to give what
we can TO establish His kingdom, who are
able to inform ourselves as to what Is
needed In all these lands surely do not lack
opportunity to make our lives count largely.
1t seems a wonderful thing that one man,
President Roosevelt, should act effectively
to end a terrible war; and to win the CRATE
ful applause of the world for securing q
peace in which all the world rejoices But
how many unnamed men and women have
labored and are laboring to make that act
possible and to mnlxe that peace lasting!

himself declare: THE maid is not dead,
but only sleepeth." No doubt these men
who did not want to believe could find some
measure of reinsurance in such reflections.
But in connection with the incident giving
rise TO the statement Of our text there was
no room for such shallow reasoning. Laza-
rus had died. 1t was a well-known fact.
Indeed the body was already beginning to
decompose before Jesus arrived on the
scene, for he had been dead four days. The
restoration of Lazarus to life and to his sis
ters demonstrates the possession of a pow
er by Christ that was overwhelming; pow
er supernatural The news of the wonder
spread: the people thronged to see Jesus;
they hailed Him as the Messiah and actu-
ally proclaimed Him ahe King of Israel.
In face of this marvellous movement Of
the popular will and expression of popular
favor the Pharisees. seeing the futility of
further opposition. despairingly cried one to
another: Perceive ye how ye prevail moth
ing? Behold. the world is gone after him"
Consider, then that the Christ-spirit and
method have encountered opposition in
every age. The Pharisees were not the only
obstructionists who have sought to stem the
tide of Christian power and grace. After
the initial trlumphs of Christianity connect
ed with the far-reaching labors of the apos-
ties there succeeded a period of severe
stress and trial. The Roman civil power
took alarm at the rapid spread of the new
