What The Ministry Ought To Be.

Would not the first words OF the
Son Of Man be: "Ye are members one
of another? Would He not lift those
three churches above the level Of
their little pet dogmas and observan-
ces into the large, clear atmosphere
OF the Kingdom" where they would
harmonize into one strong church
void of financial problemslWould he
not drive the sordid, petty eompe'
tition of rival sects out of our land as
passionately as He drove the eompe-
,,ition OF rival thieves out Of the Tenn
plei
And would He not have an eye, as
well, on the young ministers OF to-
dav &c zee wLethe, ,ney were being
trained as He trained those Il orig
inal pupils in His inimitable semeina-
lry7 Would He allow His modern
apostles TO focus their whole souls
for four years on two defunct Ian
guages and such distractions as exc
gis, dogmatcis, apologetics, homilet'
les, pedagogy, and pastoral theology'
II is certain that He Himself could
have passed a perfect examination IN
these inatters2
Or woull lie have His young pu'
rils came tc know, through and
Through, tie whole man, in health and
in Gisca.e, alone and among the
crowd? Would He not found a new
sort of seminary to-day taking His
students into the thick Of life, to show
them the far-reaching effects OF her
edity and environment; how character
is influenced by functional and or
ganic disease, and by such social for
ces as neighborhoods, schools, facto'
ries, and clubs7
Would He not lead His classes tc
such laboratories as the sweat-shop
the saloon, the dancehall, and the
brothel? Would He not have them
study the labor union, the apartment
hopse, the farm, the theatre, the de.
partment store, the press, the corpor.
alton, and the political club and cor,
rective agencies, like the prison, the
reformatory, the playground; as well
as educative ones, like the school, the
college, the library, and the public
press?

FOREST PRESERVATION.

has become one Of the most earnest
advocates and one Of the most inhu,

policy Of the administration and this
newspaper is particularly effective in
its arguments in behalf Of the forest

BIG DEMAND FOR LUMBER.

A feature of the lumber market :
the heavy buying for railroad ae-
count, the orders which have been re-
Gently placed by the transportation
lines aggregating, on the lowest esti-
mate, fully 100000 feet. The high
est estimate is twice as great On
either estimate, however, these pur-
chases win have a stimulating effect
upon the market, As compared with
the whole output, the amount is not
large, but coming as it does at a
time when other commercial de-
mands are getting stronger, it will
help the trade to a considerable
amount.
The lumber industry of this state
has been severely handicapped for a
long time past. the trouble antedat-
ing by several months the financial
disturbance which eliminated rather
more than a year ago. AS it is the
leading industry Of the state, de-
preston in the lumber industry
necessarily affects all others.
The healthful reaction which hae
set in is one Of the most gratifying
features of a largely improved bust
ness outlook. Moreover, the mere
lfact that the railroads are purchas'
ling heavily of lumber is itself az
evidence of increased confidence
faith in the future and improved
business conditions.-Seattle P. l.

the past few years and a good chiffon tat

acceptance among women fastidiously mod
