THE MAN OF GALInEE.

The Man OF Galilee Is the title of 4
new volume by George K. vending,
and published by the Olcott Publishing
company. Washington. d. G. 1t is an
inquiry on new lines into the character
OF the great Nazarene. and we feel that
the Christian world has been rendered a
distinct service by the publication or
the results of this investigation. The
author, unlike Renan, Strauss. Farrar.
and others. dwells almost entirely upon
the mental characteristics of Jesus. as
revealed by His inspired blographers.
He Is the most clear and at the same
time the simplest teacher of profound
truth that ever came among men
Simplicity with clearness Is the very
highest test of teacher. He is differ
ent from Orientals in this. that He does
not dwell needlessly on any point. He
sends His words forth like living spir-
its to go for ever through the world.
He does not make use of logical syllog-
isms; He has no need OF the higher pro-
cesses of mathematics: He gives no
dissertations on metaphysics: "He
never learned they said OF Him, and
yet He deals with every subject and
solves every problem. The element of
time does not seem to appear in Ills
mental operations He is always look
ing beyond the human horizon. out over
all eXpanse of time. Sometimes He
speaks of His hour but never in a
limited sense of the word His life has
the marks OF an interlude He is ever
the Eternal One He has no conscious |
ness that there Is for Him any mystery |
In nature. In man. or God.
And thus the inquiry goes on. and the |
conclusion is Inevitable. Summing I'M

nowhere can we find In the universe

Any honest Inquiry into the life and
character Of Jesus should be welcome

"A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT.

The anti-Japanese outburst in Og-
den is to be very much regretted. In
the first place, the replacing of Amer
lean workingmen by Japanese labor at
time when work Is scarce and many
efficient men are looking for jobs. can
not escape criticism. II would seem
that good policy would demand. II any
preference is to be made, that 1t be
given to American laborers who have
families to support and who help build
ing up the place IN which they live. and
not to transients, be they OF Asiatlc
or any other origin. In the second
place, it is regrettable when men, in
stead OF employing the powerful weap-
ON OF argument and reason, resort to
brutality ana clamor for murder as
means OF rlghting a wrong. II should
not be necessary in an American COM
munity to go outside the limits OF law
and good order for the protecting of
the interests OF any class of citizens.
Riots may be natural to Russian con-
ditions. They are unnatural here and in
irnlcal to American interests.
The occurrence Is another reminder
Of the fulnity OF trying to reconcile
the two races in the same field or
struggle FOR existence. According TO
the Scriptures, God has made of one
blood all nations OF men" but He has
also determined the times before APP

Some men spend their time looking

When they start on an enterprise
they figure out beforehand what they

they anticipate failure and by their
anticipation they seem to welcome It,
Failure exists primarily in the mind.
IL Is usually realized only after being

because we think we are going to fail,
