THE PROGRESS OF PE4cE.

Gentlemen may cry peace, peace but the French don't mean to be caught mapping The French Admiral ty is about to begin experiments at Gavres, near Lorient, to determine the best way of increasing the defensive qualities of the turbine-drlven battle ships provided for in the new French naval program. Four of these new bat tleships are about to be laid down, possessing a speed of nineteen knots, drawing twenty feet six inches, and having a length of 475 feet nine inches. The authorities are trying to devise more effective protection against torpedoes. As one means of re- sisting the effect of these missiles the two inner hulls are to be strengthened. They will be separated, moreover, by a space of about four and one-half feet, divided into compartments. Fur thermore, independently of this double protection for the vital parts the ves- sels will be sheathed with armor 10.6 inches thick. The experiments at Ga9res are chiefly intended to deter mine the bestway Of protecting vital parts below tho water-line. According to present plans. the entire vessel will be surrounded tt that level by a se- ries of armored compartments inde- pendent one of the other A torpedo, 1t is believed, will not be able to do more than destroy the particular compart- ment which 1t sHikes At Gavres one of the armored compartments is to be made the target of a torpedo in order to test it's power of resistance, and, if the results are satisfactory, as is confi- dently expected, the new turbine-drlv- en battleships will be protected as de- scribed.
 Now the United States, or some other hearty advocate of peace, must go to work and invent torpedo that will nulllfy the French defense.

zAxArroN OF CORPORATIONS.

President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is at present engaged in leading the State of Massachusetts in- to the right methods of thought upon the subject of taxation. Hearings are being held before a special committee charged with the task of ascertaining if prevailing methods are good, and if not what they should be. That it's members should have turned in their self-conducted tour of investigation to the man with the greatest appetite for eating up transportation lines in all New England is but natural
 Equally to be expected was the re- ply he made to them. President Mel len does not occupy his spare time in chasing rainbows. Whatever he hunts he hunts with his eye on the object to be brought to earth. In this case it was the most effective way of getting for the State what is due the State from chartered corporations in the shape of taxes. Tax the corporations themselves, and don't bother trying in an expensive manner to catch the stockholder who may be living in an- other State. This, it may be explained, is the Connecticut way, and if a prop osition was made to revive the old

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Cruise to the Pacific.
rThe Tndependent.l

It is great pity that 1t should seem necessary to the government to send the main part of the fleet to the Paci- fio. There Is only one possible reason for it, namely, the Japanese furry. It has come to the eyes of the navy de- partment that California is making trouble with Japan, and that reckless talk of war may lead to war, and that there is quite as much danger of war with our old friend Japan as with any other power in the world. Ergo, let the feet go where it may possibly be wanted. That is the sole explanation, whatever authorities may say. It is not for a practice cruisel not to make a patriotic display to our citizens In the Pacific States. It is only for the to be ready for war. There iH a great deal of nonsense talked about It. and the last absurd story is that President Roosevelt has some occult personal and political purpose in view, and h9B made an agreement with Emperor William to protect our coast with his German fleet while ours is watching the Jap. aneSei But we do not approve this transfer of the fleet We believe it have the navy as little in the public quiet because war and it's agencies are discreditable when not odious Nor Is there the least danger, to human vii sion, of war with Japan. We don't want 1t; Japan doesn't want 1t. We can't afford it; Japan certainly cannot.

When the Wise Man Fell.

He never bucked the tiger and he never bet a cent That he could find the cup which held the pea; He never at circus tried to crawl be- neath the tent Nor tried 70 pet fretful humble bee. He never bought a gold brick and he never rocked a boat; He never teased bulldog in his life; He never rushed In nadly to lay hold upon the throat Of a bully who was pummeling his wife He never pulled the trigger of an anci- ent, rusty gun. Just to see if 1t contained load or not, He never, when the gas leaked, started in upon the run With a lighted lamp to find the leaky spot. He never signed paper till he'd read it through and through, He never skated where the Ice was thin; But they coaxed him into Wall street when the sky was soft and blue And they casually stripped him to the
 skin.

4 BIG PROBLEM.

There are very few people in this imperfect world who are perfect spir- itually, mentally or physically, but it is a little surprising to hear that there are 465,OOO physically defective school children in New York out of a total of about 610,O0O, and that the number of such detectives throughout the United States reaches 12, 900, 0Oe. Out of 1,4O0 children examined in different parts of New York city 1t was found that twelve per cent suffered from malnu- triton, 4S.s per cent from enlarged glands, 72.4 per cent. from bad teeth, 14.4 per cent, from eye defects, PIT from nose troubles and 29.9 per cent.

 Only good can come from this meth cd of considering the problems of the hour, which perhaps are more the pro- tduot of an overzealous nature work ing from within than from hard and fast reliance upon constitutional pro- visions working from without.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Pastor Williams of the Christian church chose for his morning theme. Why am l member of the church? 9"
 Matt. 16:1S. Among other things he said: I believe the bible is a revela-
 ton from God It reveals the fact 1 that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
 the living God. who possesses all au- thority. Jesus proposes. to save the world through the church which He set up on earth. The church-the as- sembly of the redeemed-is not an or
 ganization founded by men but di- vine institution. Men enter the church
 through obedience to Jesus, who is the
 head of the church.
 While the church is a spiritual in stitution it needs some visible organ
 ization. Christ knew the needs of men and His wisdom is exemplified in or ganizing the great institution-the church. Men need the social qualities
 of the soul developed. Contact with
 one another is source of growth.
 Fellowship and friendship mean much to the Christian. By organization men can do more effective work Greater strength in opposing satan and his CO.,
 horts. A larger influence in aggres- sive work is possible through unity of heart and lip in the church. I belong to the church because it is the only everlasting institution on earth. Jesus
 proposes to save His church from the future dominion of satan. "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it" All other institutions shall pass away. but Christ is coming to receive His bride>and give her the blessings of His Fathers house.
 I belong to the church because Christ commands it. To every man who hears the gospel comes the invitation. All who are enlightened will be pledg edSby the gospel light. No promises are held out to the disobedient. I do not question the wisdom of God or Christ: To do so is to commit a pre- sumptuous sin. Obey Christ and enter this institution which endures.

nificant matters. complaining of infin- itesimd evils. The cure is to count our blessings. The kingdom ol heaven is like the material universe, its wonders surface. We need to look closely to discover them. Ashortsighted vision means a poor and troubled life. False standards of judgment blind us to the high values of our spiritual inheritance. When We judge by the standard of money, pleasure or per sonal advancement we obscure the true standard and fail to realize that We really possess in Christ.
 When We fail to remember the great truth that All things are yours We are in danger of failing in enterprise from the supposed lack of capital If all power. all resource, all opportunity are ours by virtue of our relation to Jesus then We may take for our motto the immortal words of William Carey, Expect great things from God; at tempt great things for God
 We have in connection with the text a spiritual inventory. Paul is de- scribing Christianity in the possessive case.
 All truth is ours. Different teach CTS may emphasize differing aspects of truth but the truth itself is all ours. Different denominations of Christians may lay stress upon different phases of fundamental truth but no sect mo- nopolizes any part of truth. For the believer the whole truth is his possess sion.
 ''The world is ours We are the heirs of the world in a peculiar. and practical sense. Christ teaches us now to ap- preciate it and use it. He shows us how to make it the ladder of ascent to higher things. There is a. sense in which We may win the whole world and not lose our own souls but rather have them enlarged and enriched. The worlds wealth and all its forces are ours to use for God and humanity.
 Life and death are ours also. The Christian view of life and death is a distinct gain for it's possessor. Both serve the eternal interests of the chil- dren of God. Life is seen as an op- portunity for service and growth; death is our usher to show us into the larger life and the richer rewards. Time and eternity. things present and things to come are ours. We have all the time there is plus eternity.
 "The practical problem of the Chris tian life is the appreciation of this truth and the appropriation of our in heritance. The first step toward this appropriation is to believe on the au- thority of Gods Word that these things are ours. If we are the children of God is it unreasonable to assume that our possessions shall correspond with our position? With our parentage? With our Fathers promises?
 "The second step is the earnest ef- fort to understand, and realize this great truth This means digging in the mines of the Word for its treasures. It means searching the records of God for our title deeds and property de- scriptions. It means scanning the spiritual universe with open eyes There can be no advance without such effort
 'The crowning act of appropriation consists in the actual use of these pos sessions in the service Of God. In the activities. endurances and emergencies of life We are to act as though all things were ours and we shall find that they are ours.'
