Tie sooner tho better. The details
follow hereinafter. BEFORE considering
them 1t IS worth noting that not since
the aMetamorphosos OF ovid' ana the

rope produced anything with which for
sheer dcvmishness they can be COM
pared.
That Is the high merit OF this splen-
did imbroglio. IL is incompatible, ex-
cessive, unique. Even sir Nassing-
bird dwindles before il. That story OF
Payn's, published years ago, concerned
a most audacious baronet who, after
various witnesses, vanished in a para
graph and reappeared as = skeleton in
the trunk OF a tree. it was a good
story. but it might have been worse.
The narrative OF Nine. Humbert beat
Il easily. In that epic there were
vanishing iitiEants, phanton millions,
a grand phantasmagoria IN which the
beuefclary OF an imaginary testator
took an absence of anything and from
Il produced q safe full or government
bonds. which latter, paraoed before the
eyes Of financiers. crumbiee suddenly
into a copper coin.

Nine Humbert not merely disappeared
millions OF money disappeared with her.
and, through their abstraction, added
10 the gsyety OF nations and the 5ubs-
lance of the press.
These ere good stories. The ITCH
borne case Is another. in The TIuinbert
hoax the daughter OF a Trench peasant
had herself recognized as the heiress
OF an American that never lived. In
the TichborDe trial the widow Of r thin
gentleman recognized fat butcher as
her eon.
These are all good stories. The Druce
case knocks every ono OF them into a
cooked hat Tor in this masterpiece
the daughter-in-law OF a London
tradesmsn recognizes a dead duke as
the grandfather OF her child.
In the Tichborne case there was =
vanished son and a dime novel in a fat
man. In Payn's story there was a vaf-
fshed baronet and a skull in e frank.
In the Humbert epic there was a van
ished treasure and a copper in vault.
But what Is a butcher who takes 10
nction, a baronet who takes 10 flight
and a woman. who takes 10 ieecinE
beside a duke who takes TO trade?

DEARTH OF MEN
FOR THE MINISTRY
Disrournging Report by the Board OF
Education TO the Presbyterian
General Assembly.

Columbus, -Ohio.-In. its report to
the Presbyterian General Assembly
the Board OF Education said:
THE board has been made aware
that its solicitude over the present
period Of decline in the number and
quality of candidates presenting
themselves for the gospel ministry is
shared by the boards of education of
other denominations.
Word has come from the Episco-
pal, Methodist and Lutheran. bodies
that the falling off, so noticeable a
few years ago, is beginning to have
Its direct effect on the church.
Dissatisfaction is felt in many
quarters over the inability of the
churches to secure the highest type
of consecrated manhood for the min
istry.
Pulpit vacancies for distressingIy
long periods are more and more no.
ticeable, and complaints are heard
from committees on pulpit supply as
to their inability to fill satisfactorily
the places Of those who are dropping
from the ranks of the ministry.
1T is with grave nee that the
church at large should know the facts
that in thirty evangelical theological
semiuaries in our country the church
is about 400 men short of the num-
Der studying ten years age, despite
the country's increase of 100000
in population.
There are one-third less men stu
dying for the ministry of the Presby-
terrain church than ten years ago, and
yet the membership of our branch of
the Presbyterian church has increased
during that period from 100000 to
100000.
Ten years ago there was one can-
for every $40 church men,
bers, to-day there is one candidate
for every 1910 members.
is 1t not therefore incumbent upon
the church to engage in importunate
prayer in behalf of the sons of the
church, that more of them may be
10 turn 4 deaf a to the solicita-
tons of n commercially prosperous
age, and to c~onsecrate their talent to
the work of the ministry"

Era Of Great Strikes Passing.

Washington, D. C.-Accordtng to
Carroll D.. Wright, who was commits
s1oner of labor for a number OF years.
and is now president of Worcester
University, the era of great strikes
is passing away. In the place of in
oustrial strikes the Cancellation plan
is being adopted.
In an interview here MI. Wright
says the tendency is against the great
strikes which were numerous from
n early seventies onward. He he
Leves the tendency is against them
more strongly than 1t has ever been
In recent years, but that they served
an effective purpose-that Of teach
Ing capital what labor wanted and
teaching Labor more about capital.
The effect of such strikes was loss
both to employers and employed.
MI. Wright contends that while If
tie is heard of it, all over the country
employers and laborers are getting
together in & spirit of Cancellation.
Greater efficiency on the part of
the MAI who has an Industrial duty
to perform is another tendency of
the times noted by Mr.. Wright.
