All men and all women living
in Christian country and in the
midst of our civilization should
marry. The family is the founda-
tion OF our civilization, and the
Christian religion gives US the
purity and the sweetness of the

All of which is eminently
true, but the inquiry naturally
arises, why is it that Editor Will

ADVICE TO PREACHERS.

blshop MorIison may % ah
extremist, man of rsdical action,
from some points of view, but
his head is level when it comes
10 defining the duties and re
spousibilities of a minister. In the
main, he has proper conception
of what preachers course and
attitude should be, especially to-
ward his congregation. In his
address at Gaffuey to the class
of young ministers Bishop Nor
rison is quoted as saying:
In preaching you should first
know what the people need. Go
to the Bible and get an inspired
basis for your sermon. Don't
preach what other men have
preached. Make your own SER
mons. Throw the 500 outlines
away. Keep in touch with The
spirit and God will give you
thoughts and ideas. If your SER
mons are yours the people will
hear you.
Take care of your voice. The
people will listen to platitudes
even if they can hear them clear
ly.
When you 90 10 your charge
take charge Take charge of the
whole Church, the Sunday-school,
league, choir, everything. |
abominate a choir that takes
charge Of the preacher. Don't
let your administration be SELF
assertive, but wise. Manage your
Church as wise wife manages
her husband without letting
the Church know it. Take charge
of yourself. Keep sweet and gen.
tie. Remember that what are
sometimes called Methodist Pc
culiarities are oftentimes ous
strength.
Don't go into the ministry tc

Presidents Message to Con-
gress this We eek in a Nut
Shell.

The annual message of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, read
today before the joint session OF
both houses of the Sixtieth Uni
ted States congress, contains
thirty thousand words.
The president recommends
federal licenses or national char
ters for corporations.
He recommends that any re-
vision of the tariff be postponed
at least until after the election.
lie proposes that the congress
appropriate money necessary to
defray the expenses OF the lead
ing national parties in presiden-
tial elections.
OF most vital Impotence from
the viewpoint of the President Is
the recent financial depression or
stringency, pointing to the moral
lesson of purgation OF dishonest
business methods.
The auther of the message
urges prompt action as to a def
mite currency plan, though the
minutia of the proposition re-
ceives no tangible suggestion
from the president.
Relative to the currency plan,
however, the president suggests
that it must be Of sufficient elias
ticity TO enable it's speedy retire
ment after the financial stringen-
cy be passed.
The president follows his pre-
vious declarations as to railroads
and corporations, advocating all
the publicity possible in regard
to the inside workings of giant
operations throughout the
country.
He empha'ically urged fedora
incorporation or conditional Ii
censes, which, together with a
wholesome governmental supervI
sion, he believes would prevent
a great deal of dishonesty which
has been prevalent in the past
in the various channels OF bust
ness and trade.
The present tariff system, the
president says, is responsible fol
the excellent balance which pre-
walls between our expenditures
and income, nting with pride
to the yearly average of s3l 900,
600.
He is of the opinion that the
tariff system should be given
careful scrutiny to prevent any
tendency to growing abuses II

portant feature of the govern
ment.
The president is heartily il
favor of an income tax, though
he says he SPEAKS with reverence

) dent that recent prosecution
