A Good WAY to Warm Un.

ITO put sort of decent finish to the year, went

Christmas. L go mostly, but not being what you
call passionatey fond of prayer-meeting, l can be

mostly complaining of feeling cool and Indifferent
(Which was true, like enough) They said they

works, and they prayed for more grace and spirit
and more devotedness to the Master.
Members of the church were asked to stay after
the meeting dismissed, for the consideration of
business. L stayed 1t was a sad and solemn SEES

The Eminence of the Church.
Pittsfeld, Mass.

There are many organizations, associations, clubs
leagues and institutions in the world. Some of
them stand for education; some for social improve
ment and enjoyment; for political ideas and
principles some for financial rewards; and some for
religious thought. But we believe and are sure that
the Church of Christ is above ALL There is nothing
like it among
1t is peculiar in its foundation One dav Simon
Peter said to Jesus, Thou the Christ the Son of
the living Cod" and Jesus said "On this rock will
1 build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it," The Church is not built on
science, money, nor on human reason but on
Jesus Christ the Son of the living God.
"On the Rock of Ages founded
What shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded
Thou mayest smile at all thy foes"
The Bank of England has a strong foundation and
will doubtless stand for many generations The
Government of the United States rests on a sure
foundation OF righteous principle and believe it
Will stand But no government earth is so Sc
curey founded as the Church of Christ Until men
can destroy Jesus they cannot this foundation
There are men who despise the Church They tell
us that the Church, with its doctrines God of sim
and of future punishment, is responsible for a large
share of the fear and misery of mem that the history
of the Church has been a history of bloodsbed and
persecution. We need not answer these accusers
The living Church is the answer. There are leagues
among us whose members make it their chief bust
to attack the Church and try to shake the conf
dence of the people in its value. But what have
these leagues ever done for humanity? What hos
Pital, or asylum, orphanage, school have they
founded? What have they done for education. for
charity for social improvement? To ask the ques-
ton is to answer it. What has the Church done?
The aim of the Church is above that of any other
institution. It's aim is not to accumulate wealth
nor to advance science to aid political move
ments. incidentally it does much for the financial
political and social improvement of men, but its real
aim is higher The Church stands for the spread of
the gospel, the enlargement of the kingdom of God
in the EARTH the salvation of men from sin 1t has
not always been true to its Ligh purpose. It has
ialtered and failed at times. But it always comes
back to the track which the Almighty set it, The

There Church members who do not appreciate
the importance of the Church. Some of them give
1T place common level with other good organi-
cations. Practically Christians give to the
Church an inferior place. They trust in their
club, guild, their school, their ORDER their bank
their party than in the Church of the living God.
They love these things than they love the
Church. They have more to say in praise of these
institutions than in praise of the Church. They find
more satisfaction and comfort these than i'll the
Church. These men do not act wisely. They know
not what they doing

THAN COST


Washington, April 3-The sug-
gcstion that the proiecteflsleviathan
20.500 tons battleship. which con-
gress is expected to authorize at the
present session should be named New
York, involving the abandonment of
that name for the arInored cruiser
Which was The flagship during the
Spanish war Of the Atlantic fleet,
the most formidable naval force
.sser gathered under the American
flag. has caused some commotion in.
.Daypl circles. While realizing the
policy Of securing support for the
navy BY identifying the ships with
great cities, many naval officers hold
8iat for sentimental reasons ships
should not be cfristened with names
OF vessels that have been famous in
heir own time; That the latter
should be permitted to retain for
themselves whatever reputation they
may have earned. The New York
is set down as perhaps the most SER
riceable ship in the navy, according
10 the record. She has been always
ready for the hardest and most nm
expected service, and it is said Of
her that seven years after she went
first into commission she made the
RIM. from Boston TO New York at an
average speed Of 20 knots, repeating
easily her initial trip record, which
is without precedent in the navy.
After undergoing two years repairs
at the Boston navy yard, the New
York will be reeommissioned prac-
tiealy new ship, and the majority
of naval officers believe that she
should not be deprived of her name,
and sadled with that of another and
lesser city. as must be the case. I'M
der the law, if any change is made.
