MONDAY EVENING. JULY 9. 1906.

GENERAL CoRBIN speaks very en-
couragingly of the military situation In
the PHILIPPINES, where he held military
command for two years. He thinks
that the 80, 900 Moros in the Philippines
will always prove restless. But 40 out
break of the Moros, he says, bears no
more relation to general conditions IN
the Philippines than did an outbreak
of the Apsches or any other Indian
ribes bear to the general peacefulness OF
mis- country 25 years ago. According to
General Corbin, the time is soon coming
when the present military strength in
the Philippines, $4,000 men, may be
reduced With safety. There are many
well-informed officers in the army VINO
will not agree with General Corbin's
sanguine views. They recall that a
few wears ago it was heralded far and
wide by General Corbin that the Is
lands were so thoroughly ''pAcihed"
that the military force could be
reduced. aud that, in consequence OF bis
statement, several res .ments OF infantry
and three batteries of light artillery
were brought back from the Philippines
to this country. But these troops had
hardly left the Philippines before their
absence was felt, and the administration
was compelled to replace them by an
equal number of fresh troops, who were
hurried to Manila under the pretext that
the Chinese boycott threatened the lives
of American citizens, and that the gov
eminent gravely feared it might become
necessary any moment to hurry troops
from Manila into China, as was done 10
1900, when the foreign legations were
besieged in Peking. AS soon as the
troops we're safely landed in Manila the
governments anxiety over the safety OF
American citizens in China wanted.
The FilipinOs fought Spain for their in
dependence for four hundred years and
many believe they will continue their
warfare against the United States indei-
ini,ely.

PRESIDENT CAssATT Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company on Saturday u.s.
sued an order to all employees and
officials of the company requiring them
to part with all holdings of stock which
they may have acquired. The order
cites the fact that it is essential for
the company's servants to be free and
unfettered in order that they may at
tend to the company's business impair
tiaIlyl Mr.. Cassatt was a long time in
coming to this conclusion and it is
generally believed that his order will be
obeyed in theory only.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and Secre-
tary of War Taft held an important
conference at Oyster Bay Saturday in
relation to the army. Plans were dis
cussed which, if finally consummated,
will have much to do with the cost Of
maintaining army posts. Attention of
the President was called to the fact that
there are a number OF brigadier generals
with nothing for them to do, and the
plan proposed is to establish army posts
to fit their positions. 1t would be
cheaper and better TO retire these officers.

Automobile Attacked by a Deer.

Albany. n. Y, July 9.-Spriuging
out from the thick bush that lines the
roadway along the Mohawk Valley, ten
miles west of Albany, a giant buck deer
yesterday charged an automobile driven
by VIM. f Snyder Thinking that the
buck would stop before he reached the
machine Snyder stopped his car to get =
better view OF thu animal The appar-
emily maddened beast, however, kept on,
and before Mr.. Snyder could get his
machine under motion, the buck had
ripped off the rear headlights with his
anters, and pierced one Of the tires.
BY this time, the machine had gathered
considerable speed and the buck splang
back into the bush, evidently thrown
into a panic by the exhaust from the
engine. Sny'er's machine limped into
Albany on three tires.

THE ENDOWMENT OF MINISTERIAL
RELIEF
RELIEF.

We desire to call the attention of every
Southern Presbyterian to an offer, I'M
paralleled in the history of our Church,
made to the Executive Committee of
Ministerial Education and Relief.
Mr.. Hugh T. Inman, of Atlanta, has
offered to contribute 100000 to the En-
dowment Fund of Ministerial Relief, on
condition that the churches raise $685.
900.
Mr. Inman has made a further offer
whereby he promises to pay into our
treasury $4,000 January 1, 1907, if by that
time we have half of the required sum,
$62, 800, actually in hand. BY paying this
year and a half in advance of the time
actually promised, he makes another
clear gift of $3.50 in interest.
We must raise $4,000 more If we are
to receive this great help, and only about
six weeks remain in which to do it, Do
not delay your gift. Act promptly-do
it now.
That an Endowment Fund is needed
appears from the fact that many Of our
enfeebled ministers and widows and or
phans Of our deceased ministers, who
have not the necessary things of life, are
now receiving a mere pittance.
That it is desirable is evident from the
almost universal practice of other
churches, the cordial endorsement of the
Assembly, Synods and Presbyteries, and
the liberal proposition which God has
put into the heart Of His servant to make.
That it is possible remains in a large
measure for our people to prove. Only

1t profits little, however to regret the
past unless we learn for the future. The
Southern Presbyterian Church has re-
cognized her obligation to the negroes.
and for many years past has maintained
mission among them. Recent events
cause us to regret that it has not been
more extensive. 1t may yet become the
power OF God for immense good. Five
white men are now giving all their time
to the work. Eighty colored preachers
have been trained. Two hundred white
people are teaching in Sunday-schools for
negroes, and about two Thousand negro
children are thus brought under the best
personal and spiritual influence One
thousand pupils are also taught daily by
our colored preachers in parochial schools.
Would that these figures could be enlarg-
ed thousandfold!
What hinders? Lack of money. The
General Assembly of the Southern Presby-
terrain Church calls upon each Of it's
churches to take collection for this mis-
sion at least once year, and designates
December as the best month The COM
mittee appointed by the Assembly to con-
duct the work Of Colored Evangelization
has done all in its power with the money
given it. Stillman Institute has been en-
larged and additional teachers appoint
ed. New churches are being built, and
well trained colored preachers are
sent out. Five missionaries for At
RIGA have been graduated from Stillman
Institute, and are now doing splendid
work on the Congo.
The situation is not hopeless Our sue
cess in this Christian effort will encour-
age all denominations in the South to
enlarge their work for saving these poor
people. To save them saves the country
from industrial disorder, and the posi-
bility of a race war.
We trust that our pastors and sessions
will emphasize the December collection
as never before, and that many may
cheerfully give who have hitherto refused

..bout choice or responsibility; for
Wan Wan freedom also is a fact, as con-
'ionce and experience testify. How
Cad,s sovereignty and mans freedom
u oso compatible we cannot tell. We shall
nscover this when we gain the larger
uurospect of Eternity; but meantime we
PCT acuuiesce in what Kant terms "an
ninnrreconcilable antinomy." This is not
49, irrational attitude, but a most reas-
"nable recognition of our present lim1-
tohons. Encompassed, as we are, by
,mpenetrable mystery, it is foolish to
roiect whatever does not square with
onr intellectual postulates. Remember
2eno's Demonstrations. One, based on
The philosophical principles of the in
destructibility of matter and the infinite
dvisibility of space, was that, if fleet
Achilles run a race with the tortoise,
and give the latter a start, he will never
overtake it. Say he runs ten times fast
er than it and give it a start of hun
dred yards. When he has run hun
dred yards, it has run ten; when he has
run ten yards more, it has run one;
when he has run one more, 1t has run
tenth; and so ad infinitum, however far
he may run, it is always a tenth ahead.
The demonstration is logically frrefra-
gable, but it is contrary to experience;
and it is by experience that we must go.
Whatever logic may say, Election and
Freedom are both facts, and it becomes
us to accept both and get the good out
Of both, and refuse to be hoodwinked
by logical juggle. Of course Elec-
ton may be and has been so taught
as to be nothing else than "a hor-
rible Decree" ministering either self
righteousness or despair; but, when
correlated with the fact Of human free
dom and rooted in the eternal love of
God in Christ Jesus our Lord it seems to
me most comforting evangelical doc
trine. 1t is the guarantee of the Per-
severance Of the Saints, since
What began best, can't end worst,
Nor what God blessed once, prove
accurst."
And 1t is an encouragement to timid
souls to venture all on the mercy of
God in Christ, since He has a purpose
concerning them, and it is a purpose
OF OF love. II would rather" says Geo.
macdonald, ''be what God chose to
make me, than the most glorious crea-
lure l could think Of"
