Church and Labor.

Rev DIR. John B. Devins, editor of the
New York Observer and Rev. NJ S. Little
field are now fraternal delegates in the
Central Federated Union of New York city.
There was stormy session In the union
before they were admitted. Twenty three
members spoke. most of them against the
proposal. Finally MIR. Littlefield himself
took the floor in his own behalf. His state
ment that he represented the closed shop
at once gained attention and applause
Then he explained that his closed shop was
the ministry, to which no one could be ad-
mitted who was not thoroughly qualified.
The union could not resist this speech and
admitted the elergymen by vote OF sixty
eight to twenty-three. They entered the
union as representatives of the New York
Presbytery.

sum of results for all time must come 70 a
positive quantity, IF the course is really ex-
pedient." The Friends position as COM
pared with the utilitaran's is thus further
elucida ted:
AT a recent Mohonk conference a rear
admiral OF the navy said christianity has
been preached for nineteen centuries and
1t would be strange indeed if such results
(arbitration) did not follow; for to mo Il
layman, 1t seems automatic that Just IN
proportion as individuals are guided by tho
principles of the Golden Rule war will az
appear
After such an admission as this 1t
would seem to a Friend that nothing more
need be said. This is his whole contention.
and here he rests his case. But others DO
not. The rear admiral fights If necessary.
So does Gen. Sherman, and so would hosts
of Christian ministers who rightly charac-
terfze war In their sermons q barbarous
and wicked custom. By what course of ar
gument do they justify their seeming in
congruity? By argument from results en-
tirely. BY pointing out the good effects OF
some wars and the bad effects IL seems to
them would follow II they declined war
under certain circumstances.
THE Friends difference with them are
not fundamental as to the character ot
war, but he has different system of deter
mining conduct. He prefers TO believe that
the Divine Ruler of the affairs OF men IN
stituted certain moral laws which In the
long will work out the best results.
They place their own judgment in the scale
and see a better way which in this particu-
lar emergency nullifies the Christian law and
establishes In its place law Of exped .cncy,
a law which says, Do as much good YOU
can in every determination Of conduct:
choose the less of two evils; do that which
would be otherwise evil that good may
come

CHURCH BEGGING.
Bishop Lines Puts Ban Upon the
Practice.

Bishop Lines of the Episcopal diocese of
Newark n. j., came out strongly recently
to discourage begging from stores for ma
terial for church fairs. He practically
put ban upon it at a meeting of the wo-
mems auxiliary at Trinity Chapel deciar-
Ing that such practices were beneath the
dignity OF the church and reflected on it's
name.
When we cannot get fairly from our
own people, let US do without" said the
bishop. when you cannot get money for
the support Of your rector. or for the main
tenance Of your church, 1 wish you would
write to me and tell me about 1t. / wish
to stand between you and the merchants.
I'm everything we Go for the support of

its dignity and not use methods which may

10. May man be perfect?
Answer-A man may be a perfect Chris
tan. and he IS required or urged to be one.
Matt, v:4S- That means merely the dom!-
nance of love in his life. Col, iii:14)
20. Is the law of non-resist ance, as taught
by Jesus. applicable In sinful world?
Answer-Yes. or Jesus would not have
given IT. There are times when some men
find great difficulty N conforming 10 IL.
Still. 1t must be confessed, that the best
character is developed and the best social
system secured when men RETAIN from per
sonal retaliation and submit their grlev-
ances to government and to God Romans,

mount are ideal regulations to secure the
highest good among men.
II. How did the command Thou shalt

only TO the taking of human life? So I'M

cied with the assertion that whose she'd

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March l7.-The new ST.
Thomas Episcopal Church, which is to rise
from the ashes of the old, may cost as much
as 81 100000 instead of half that sum, as
was originally intended This increase is
due IN part to the high price OF building
material. and also the desire OF the congre-
cation to spare no money to make the new
st. Thomas of the most imposing ed
ifces in the city.
Rev. DR.. f. NJ. Stires, rector of ST. Thorn
as, has told the parishioners that 81 900 600
would not be cent too much to expend on
structure such as is proposed. Ten archi-
tects of International reputation are now
competing for the contract.
