as plan for justifyng the ungodly and insists
upon personal merit as the only basis of reward
How much sublimer the Christian faith that
looks to the merits of the infinite Christ as
the ground of Righteousness, and his suffering
as the sufficient penalty for the guilt of the
soul.
AS for solving the problem of the future,
unalded human reason is left to the merest
conjecture or to despair. Its best product is
the probability of a kindly fate. How I'M
measurably higher is the sure confidence of the
believer who says 81 shall awake in his like
ness" How much more exalting is the effect
of such a faith on personal character, in that it
supplies such standards as it does, of present
and future attainment.
Let us cultivate the consciousness of an ever
present and ever helping God of an indwell-
ing Christ, of divine Spirit who instructs, il
lumines, Strengthens, sanctifcs, gladdens our
dependent hearts, and let us reject every sug-
gestion that would expel our Lord from the
sphere of our personal lives

THE CHINESE in AMERICA.

The Chinese Boycott, is the subjec of
strong paper in The atlantic Monthly for Jan
uary by the Hon. John W. Foster Mr. Foster
is a Presbyterian ruling elder and a broad
minded American Christian and statesman He
reviews the history of the treaties between the
United States and China, from the Burlingame
treaty of 1868, all of them pledging the just
and fair treatment of the Chinese admitted to
this country and promising that in every
gard there shall be secured to them the same
rights and privileges as are given to the most
favored nations. But in the face Of these
pledges it is shown that the laws and admins
tration of them by the Immigration Bureau
have been restrictive, unj Just and nhumane.
Again and again Chinese admitted under the
treaties, and of superior classes, merchants,
officials, travellers of rank, and students have
been subjected to treatment most barbarous and
humiliating. This course Of action, not only in
San Francisco, but in Boston and other Eastern
cities, has been the subject of remonstrance,
that so far has been unavailing And it is the
report of this treatment, not only by mObs and
rufians but by government officials that has
gone back to China, and produced the popular
feeling out of which not only the boycott of
American goods has come but the widely ex
tended anti-foreign feeling. And this is true
Notwithstanding the fact that the United States
of America has been the one great nation that
has not usurped power in China, and has been
China's best friend among the nations Mr. Eos
ter concludes:
"The churches of the United States of almost all
denominations have entered upon the mission work
in China. Duty and opportunity seem to call them
enlarged efforts in that great Empire. But that
work be speedily brought to an end not by pro
scription or persecution, but simply by the Chinese
Government applying to American citizens in China
the laws and regulations that are now applied
in the United States to Chinese subjects. And by
the same means effective stop can be put to all
other American enterprises in China. BY such regu-
Iations all American bankers. capitalists. railroad
contractors builders and engineers mining experts
and operatives. manufacturers and machinists, mis-
sionares and physicians would be barred out of that
Empire because such classes of Chinese by laws
of Congress- now interpreted and enforced, ex
cluded from the United States"

A SENSE OF THE SUPERNATURAL

Let lis be rational in our religion but never
ra'lonalIstlc There is a tendency to explain
away or ignore the spiritual, which tendency
should be resisted. To the more thoughtful
and earnest mind it is imperative to place en-
phdsls on the divine element i'm every depart
ment of Christian experience This in no wise
depreclates our estimate Of the value of that
which Is human or natural On the contrary. it
enhances that estimate, for it brings the very
power of Omnipotence into the midst of the
scenes of human activity, as supplementary and
directing them and infusing itself into those
sources of effort that we call natural Work,
for it is God that worketh in you"
Let us know that we are part of kingdom
that is more intensely and maiestcally real
than any natural realm that can appeal to bodily
senses or aid us by its congenial elements or
inherent forces
Ii men choose to be rationalistic, they can find
many excuses for assuming that the Bible is
merely a product of the best thought and high
est moral conceptions Of men, that Bacon and
Coleridge and Emerson had the same kind of
inspiration as David and Paul and John But
how much more ennobling, as well as more wise
and devout, to believe that in dealing with
Scripture we are dealing with the Word of the
Omniscient God, and that therefore it carries
with it an infallible aWthority to which the soul
can commit its confidence and to which it can
render most cheerful submission
If men choose to be railroads.&c. they can find
many excuses for believing in process of moral
evolution by which men are developed into such
a state of God-likeness as to be fitted for higher
conditions in a future life; but how much more
splendid the Scriptural conception that men are
transformed by the renewing of their minds
as the subjects Of divine grace, which acts mme-
diatey and vitality upon their spiritual natures
and enables them to walk i'm ncwncss Of life
There are many things to suggest to the
carna mind that our lives are controlled by
scf-operatng laws, uniform and nAcxibe in
their action, and therefore prohibit our faith
i'm the guardianship and guidance of a supreme
intelligence; but how much more exalted does
life become when we believe that in Him we live
and move and have our being, that he guides
us with his counsel, that he upholds us with
the right hand Of his righteousness.
Rationalism as a system rejects redemption
