 Finally her magazine was carefully closed so as not to disturb her hus- bands continuity of thought
 Raising his eyes, as she laid down the paper. she almost started and flushed Euiltily when she discovered his gaze full upon her. She wondered how long he had been watching her, wondered if he had guessed how tired and lonesome she was; wondered If he knew how bit- ter she felt towards him at times. She knew 1t was wrong to harbor such feelings. but he would not notice her ever and she would stand it no longer! She was angry with him, with her self.
 He had not surmised any of these things, but she did not know this. He was thinking, trying to grasp a plot for a story He could almost feel it., but 1t was very Elusive like the name you have on your tongues end but cant quite recall--it would not mate rialize.

 He stared at her an instant, but his thought was elsewhere, and he did not see her.
 Good! I have it!" he muttered.
 She sighed wearily, and dropping back into her chair. she covered her face with her hands. tears of self-plty trickled down her cheeks.

The press dispatches in American papers con-
tnue to report some unrest and ferment amonp
the people of China. The agitation is said to
be as much against the Imperial Government as
it is against the foreigners. There is Young
Chinese party clamoring for more rapid reform
government, and the official and conservative
class who resist all efforts at reform, apprehend-
ing the loss of their perquisites The foreign
ministers residing at Picking are planning for
the removal Of foreign troops from Chinese ter
rltory except the Legation guards But the
foreigners in Northern China are earnestly pro-
testing against the withdrawal of the troops
There are reports Of anti-foreign sentiment in
the Yangtse Valley, a section in middle China
which has been notable for it's quiet and
order. No doubt it is true, that since the vic
tories of Japan over Russia, and the resulting
assurance Of the integrity of the Chinese EN-
pire, there has been a consciousness Of national
unity and strength, which never existed before
The desire for an unbroken territory has lead
to widespread jealousy Of foreigners, and a de-
mand for the withdrawal Of foreign troops. But
with all the popular ferment. we do not doubt
that The most effective influences are at work for
the preservation of order Some of the vice
roys are men Of enlightenment and broad views
The paramount power Of Japan is potent. And

BARRIERS REMOVED.

We have already noted two very important
steps toward denomnational union that have
recently been taken. We may await those that
are to follow with patient interest.
One is the formulation by committees repre-
senting the Congregational, Methodist and
Presbyterian Churches in Canada, of plan of
union. The other is the final official act, to be
submitted to the two Assemblies of the proposed
union between the Cumberland and Northern
Presbyterians.
The first of these has the appearance of doing
the impossible, which indeed it is, except as we
understand that these churches have abandoned
their respective creeds or confessions, renounc-
ing former symbols of belief, as such and adopt
ing those which by omission or positive state,
ment, are at variance with the standards that
they once upheld
The new doctrnal basis, as we understand it,
fails to define the nature of the sacraments or
the mode of administering them; is crude on
church government, omits plenary inspiration
of the scriptures, foreordination, election and
perseverance as held by Presbyterans.
When the time comes for testing the pressure
per-square-inch capacity of this new organism,
some strange things may emerge. Rev. A. may
teach his people election, justification by faith
alone, perseverance and baptism by affusion.
His successor, Rev. B. may teach that all these
things are heresies and insist on immersion as
the only scriptural baptism. The bewildered
people may then ask, ''What shall we believer"
and solve the problem by not believing anything
with real confidence or comfort
We fear a case of organic contortion in the
proposed union Of our sister churches beyond
the border
The union of the Cumberland and Northern
Churches has been long and carefully consider
ed, and they thoroughly understand each other
The Cumberland body says that Calvinism has
been eliminated from the Confession of the
Northern Church and, so understood, they ac-
cept that Confession, avowing that their rejec-
ton of Cavinism which system they have most
diligently opposed, is in no degree abaed. The
Northern Church, as a body, alfirms that its re-
vised Confession is yet thoroughly Calvinistic
and welcomes its anti-C alvnistic sister into or
ganic life with itself.
The law of assimilation will doubtless have its
effect. We may await results, hoping for the

Certain ministers of Philadelphia have issued
a card to their congregations and presumably to
the public, warning against the preaching of
DIR. Torrey, who is soon to visit that city. In
an interview, one, DR.. Cadman, designates the
Objectionable teachings -''limiting the pos
sibility of salvation to the way that he points
out; his full acceptance of the whole Bible as
the authoritative word of God; his unwillingness
to respect what are called the assured results
of scholarly men, on this subject his belief in a
personal devil, and in everlasting punishment
for the finally imuenitent'
The real offense of DR.. Torrey, says The Pres
6yteridn, els his unwllingness to accept the re-
suits of recent higher criticism of a certain,
type The remanding of fundamental facts
and personages in human history, to the region
of myth, the attempted construction of Jewish
history evolutionary hypothesis, the de-
NAL of true revelation and special and pecu-
liar inspiration of the sacred writers, and gen
eral disposition to naturalistic explanation of
both miracle and prophesy, do not commend
themselves to DR.. Torrey as things assured"
It is very significant that the advanced crit
les" those who are specialists in bombarding
"the impregnable rock of holy scripture" should
assume a hostile attitude toward the men of
faith and courage and spiritual power-whose
labors in evangelzing the world, in leading men
into the belief and love of the truth, have been
:.
such men during his remarkable ministry and
they are liable to appear wherever the old Cos
pei of the grace of God, in its simple purity and
effectiveness, is demonstrating that it is the
power of God unto salvation. There is no
place in such gospel for glorying in men FEthat
the excellency Of the power may be of God"
The helpless ruin of man by nature, the atone
ment for sin by the blood of the cross, repent
ance and faith as the condition of pardon holi-
ness of heart and life through the work of the
Spirit the Bible as the word of God revealed for
our salvation-these and kindred truths are the
weapons of the warfare of these evangelists. Tn
the abandonment of these, ''the offence of the
cross is ceased" the preaching of them is, as
ever to the Greek, foolishness.
When the critics themselves become evangel-
lists when they 90 out among the destitutions of
society and plead with men to repent, when by
loving word and deed they lead men to Christ,
when they 90 to the dark places of the earth to
proclaim peace and life to the perishng heath
on, when they offer Themselves their substance
and their lives for the evangelizaton of the
world, then the sober sense of the people may
consider their contention for another gospel
than the cross of Christ That day will never
dawn
