WHEAT AND CASH MARKETS.

The Chicago Livestock World edi-

interesting analysis of the relative i'm
portance of winter and spring wheats
and their relation to the general mar
kets and to the supply of money:

NO RESTATEAiENT OF FAITH.

Present indications are that no re-
undertaken in this generation. This
opinion is expressed by a denomina-
tional organ, The Michigan Christian
Advocate, Detroit, August A. in re-
sponse to the initlatory steps taken
by the southern Methodists In asking
for cooperation of all Methodists in
putting the common creed in better
form. The Michigan Advocate thinks
"the time is not ripe for It," The age
is one Of transition. The whole round
of life is being affected by the pre-
vailing tendencies" 1t adds:
"Under such conditions our articles
of religion, general rules, and other
standards of doctrine are as satisfac-
tory to the majority as any that could
now be framed. While not including
such peculiar tenets as the witness OF
the Spirit and Christian perfection,
they do not oppose them, ana tnese
can live as they have in the past
without inclusion In a formal creed

The article below from the Mem

forceful and convincing propositions
ever set before the people within the
limits Of a 'two and a half stick arr
Gle. and is worth reading and re-
reading The News-Sclmitar says:
The rules Of settlement adopted by
a number of fire insurance companies
amount to a practical repudiation Of
their san Francisco obligations.

suggested that the recurrence of such

We have been reading the above
which is the story of William Lloyd
Garrison, and we heartily commend
It to those who are fighting the bat
tie of this generation. as Garrison
fought the battle of last generation.
Grand. indeed, was his life. and
splendid was his victory. Alone and
unaided. he rose the standard of
liberty for the slaves of America. He

whose motto was: "Our country is the

on the first page were the stirring
words: "The publishers of the Lib

ton to publish this paper so long as
they can subsist on bread and water,
or their hand find employment The
friends of the cause may therefore
take courage; its enemies may sur
render at discretion" That was
about 1895.
Move than 30 years later, when the
movement he started amid the sneer3
of his friends and the persecution of
foes had resulted in the freedom of
1000, 900 slaves ana Garrison was
lionized. he said:

\ WONDERFUL WOMAN.

In a certain old family it was the
fathers custom to read each evening
a part of the Bible to his family and
then explain what he had read. one
day his sons pasted Il couple of the
pages of the Bible together and eag-
erly awaited the evenings reading.
That evening" when all the family was
gathered together, the father began:
"When Noah was one hundred and
forty years old he took unto himself
a WIFE This wife was'---
Here the father turned over the
page. Not noticing that they were
pasted. he continued:

THE STREET ARAB.

A london scientist says that life in
metropolis makes young children
sharp, but not clever; that it often de-
strcys their chance of ever being
clever. for it hastens the development
of ;he brain unnaturdlly; it makes
them superficial, alert but not OBJ
servant; excitable but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow hlase, tickle discontented; they
see more things than the country
bred child, but not interesting things;
they do not properly see anything,
for they have neither the time nor
capacity to get at the root of all the
bewildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives

OLDEST FINED DATE KNOWN.

Professor James H. Breadsted
Psychologist of the University of Chi
cago, announced in an article in the
Biblical World that the "oldest fixed
date in history" is 4241 b. c. In that
year, he says, the calendar was estab-
lished, the year beginning on what
would now be July 10. Consequently
the calendar now in use was 6147
years old last month. The professor
arrived at these conclusions during
his long exploration trip in the Nile
valley, when he compared the astro-
nomical data In the old and middle
kingdoms Of Egypt. Professor Bread
sted has Just returned from Egypt.

much more divided and much less
felt; absence of competition would af-
ford a great economy and ever greater
economy would be provided by re-
duction of the moral hazard to a
minimum. Would-be incendiaries
from resentment or for private profit
would be much less likely TO be will
ing to face prosecution by the general
government. They would feel less like
relying upon prejudice often existing
against corporations before juries.

esty. But, practically, we are con-
vinced that any attempt at definition |
just now would be ineXpedient. The |
fact Is, every Methodist church now
allows n certain latitude to its minis
ters and people on points of doctrine,
SO long as the substance of doctrine
is accepted and honorably adhered to.
We all know in practice what that
substance Is. for 1t has been clearly
Church catechism. Anything further
in the way of an attempt to bring the
whole body of Methodist belief into
the straight waistcoat of doctrinal
standard would probably have an ef-
feet of far-reaching and disastrous
character.
For the plain truth is, that the
world OF religious thought is still in
a state of fluX. True, Christian thought
has assimilated and been enriched by
the theory of evolution as the result
of researches into natural science.
But even on the subject of evolution
we have not yet heard the last word.
Meanwhile, a new realm of thought is
being opened up by the Investigations
of the psychologist The secrets of
mans higher self are being laid bare
with the scientific eXactness which
has been already brought to bear on
his physical frame, and the thought
full Christian is being led into new
realms of thought, which must still
further widen the theological horizon.
In these circumstances no finality is
practicable, and any effort to force 1t
prematurely might conceivably end in
q fissure which would rend our church
asunder from pole to pole. Students
of theological history know we'll that
these periods of flux in thought occur
in cycles; and 1t will be quite time
enough to examine our own doctrinal
position when the present movement
has reached standstill-of which no
signs are yet discernible. If the invi-
tation comes to the British conference
we hope that 1t will be courteously de-
clined-and declined not on the
grounds proffered by Bishop Wilson
and others, of any slavish dread OF
breaking with traditional views, but
because the time is not opportune."

In short time the doctor is tying
