COMMUNICATED.


The Baptist Minister, Rev. r. P.
johnson, who said, as quoted in Tues
DAYS Gazette, that il all Christians
tried to copy Chrisl's life exactly it
would be the greatest possible calamity
that could happen, seems TO have over
looked the fact that tie Master himself
enlightened mankind on that subject two
thousand years ago. The Evangelist
tells US that one came and said unto
lin, "'Good Master, what good thing
shall | do, that may have eternal life ?
"And he said unto him, III thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments
The young man saith unto him, All
these things have | kept from my youth
up; what lack YETI Jesus said unto
him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
that thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and
come and follow me ,"
Evidently the Master disclOses two
Christian lives-the common and the
higher. Under this Divine plain Chris
tianily has developed for over 1900
years, the common life and the higher
life going on side by side, aud secular
civilization has been, at least, no loser.

sci TO assist in conducting the railroad
investigation imposed upon il by the

commission wants, and it is said that ne
has been rendered the position. Should
he decline, Judge Calhoun, formerly a

counsellor at the State Department, and
John G. Carlisle, former Secretary oil

of national reputation will be chosen
and Congress will be asked 10 foot the

a week. He will be put in charge OF
the investigation, which will exceed any
governmental investigation ever held,
and it will be disappointing If the first
public hearing is not held within
month or six weeks. Whatever method
of investigation is chosen large appro'
pristion must be secured for its conduct.

separate account of the expenditures,
The commission will AJAX Congress to IN
crease the current expenditures. This
Increase will probably be in the neigh
borhood of $50, 900 available immediate

1HE most definite and accurate Their
n,ometer of the cost of the insurance
scandals. first disclosed a little more
than year ago, which the public has
vet had the privilege Of examining, WIS
the annual report of the Equitable Lille
Assurance Society, given out in New
York Yesterday after the annual meet
ing. While the figures show startling
losses along certain lines, they also IN
dictate that the reforms Instituted by the
new management as result OF the prob
ing of the Armstrong and the company s
own investigating committees are already
beginning to bear no small crops OF fruit.
AT the end of last year the company had
$50. 4l9, 900 less outstanding insurance
than if had twelve months previous.
There was falling off in new business
amounting to $S1, 224, 900, most of which
il directly traceable to the general pub
lie suspicion against insurance which
the investigation aroused. The large
increase in the amount paid out in "sur-
render values"-$7, 7Sl. 00O-much OF
which went 10 alarmed policy-holders, is
directly traceable to the insurance trou-
Bile. Yet in spite of this the company
paid Sc, 700, 600 in dividends to policy
holders, All increase over the previous
wear of more than $7O7, 900. This is the
greatest increase in the company's his
tory. The effect of the reform admins
tratiou OF Paul Morton is shown in q
decrease of expenses TO the amount OF
$l.O5O, 900. This decrease is in spite Of
the TACT that it cost the company 1902,
600 to investigate itself, which comes
under the head of an extraordinary ex'
pense
