EMMANUEL MOVEMENT.

IT he Rev Dr. Loring W. Batten is remem-
\ bered in this city as a profound thinker and
able orator. Hence the announcement that he
will deliver address in St Andrews Episcopal
Church on the evening OF January is received
with considerable interest DIR. Batten was
formerly rector of ST Andrews and holds at the
present time high position in the church in
New York CITY DIR. Batten is to speak of the
Emmanuel Movement which has been devel-
ooped by Rev. Dr. Worcester, rector Of the
Emmanuel Church, OF Boston.
The movement has attracted much attention
among churchmen and physicians as we'll in the
larger cities. In brief it is the application OF re-
gion counsel and advice and good cheer TO those
persons afflicted with nervous troubles. In real
ity it is an attempt to bring the clergy into closer
touch with i'll people.
Nervous disorders which 90 under an all en-
bracing name OF 'neuresthenia nervous eN-
haustion in other words--are very prevalent IN
cities Many persons go through their entire
lives more or less afflicted with these troubles.
The man who lives by hard labor, who works in
the open air is rarely affected.
The Emmanuel Movement it seems to us is
part OF the general new movement that OF late
has been influencing the practice of the healing
art Probably it is due to the advance made by
the Christian Scientists. The chief success OF the
Christian Scientists. we believe. has beenin the
treatment of nervous disorders. The Scientists
have grown in numbers. they are erecting new
ground But the Scientists exclude the physicians
while the Emmanuel Movement works in SYM
pathv and in harmony with the medical profess
son--a sort of cooperation
Tn fact, when the Emmanuel Movement was
first conceived by the Rev pr Worcester. he
was in active cooperation with DR.. 5. Wier
Mitchell, the noted neurologist, of Philadelphia.
TO the ordinary physician the treatment OF
nervous troubles is most difficult. Most doctors
are convinced that drugs do little good in such
cases The leading physicians themselves have
long recognized that suggestion, counsel and al
vice with a rational mode of life form the only
help in such cases
The progress of the Emmanuel Movement
indicates that many ministers believe that the
church can materially aid the sick and that the
presence of the minister in the case of illness IS
as important as the presence of the physician.
That is the mission of Dr. Batten, simply mis-
sion of hope and encouragement The "kmman-
ue Movement" has been widely discussed and
the fact that so eminent a man as DR.. Batten is
advocating it should guarantee local interest in
his coming visit

POLITICAL WORK AND REWARD.

NNTHENENER the President issues an order
w putting an additional number of Federal
employees under the protection OF the civil SER
vice he is commended, especially by the ardent
civil service reformers who believe that the spoils
OF political victory do not belong to the visitors.
The classified civil list has been constantly
growing in the national service. The govern
ment needs competent and often technically
trained men for its work, and therefore the civil
service rules have been invoked.
The placing of many fourth-class postmasters
under the civil service is an indication of the
movement to divorce politics from the business Of
the government So far there has been little pro-
test among Congressman against the new rule
Many Congressman are glad to be rid OF the wor-
Of the plums.
The fact that a man has done political work
should not bar him from political office, but If he
is efficient. should couk in his favor. A city may
have an efficient non-partisan body composed of
men who gained their positions because of their
political activity more or less This is illustrated
in our own police force. The fact that most OF
our policemen before they became members Of
the force were active in politics in no way af-
fects their efficiency as policemen
In the growth of civil service reform
another phase is to be considered. There are al
ways men w<o for their love OF the game, and
inspired by the hope of obtaining positions, are
active in politics. These men devote much time
and labor TO political efforts They are members
Of committees, they work around at the polls
they stir up the voters and they do countless 9th
er necessary things Of which the man unfamiliar
with politics is not aware The lure that leads

many Of them is the hope that one day they
will get offices.
II this hope should be knocked out of them
who would do the political work? 1t is true that
some men in the belief that the country would go
to smash, unless their own particular political
party won, may do this political work and others
may assist merely for the excitement and thrill
of a political combat, but if the hope Of getting
office, for their friends or for themselves were
shattered by a thorough application of the civil
SERVE idea, it would be difficult to stimulate in
terest in political work among most men.
The alternative would be that men would have
to be employed 10 do this political work. Then
we should have bands Of professional political
laborers. We have them now-fhey have been
numerous in Deaware-but we do not believe
the paid politicians were abroad to such an extent
at the last election as in previous years.
Are paid workers as desirable as volunteers in
the long run?

Christmas Gifts.

Sussex Republican.
Christmas is coming and all OF us are
selecting or thinking Of selecting presents
for our families and friends. This custom
has grown TO enormous proportions and
TO somo extent is abused.
We would not say one word TO deter a
single person from giving a gift out Of
their love and friendship for another,
and that is a gift indeed, hut when the
presents made are selected and sent 10
another out Of a sense OF gratitude. be-
cause the other has given, or you know
expects 10 give. you a present. then the
elements Of true gift are not present
and you degrade the true significance OF a
Gift
A good many times we give use
less presents. when articles which are
needed would be more appreciated. II
we must give let he something useful,
although the value should play a very
little part II the gift is made in the true
spirit and received in like spirit.

COOPERATION IN ENGLAND.

campaign throughout England for capital and
labor" combinations in many industries
Balfour is leading the fight as president OF the
Labor Cooperative Association, which has taken
on new lease of life through the scheme of Sir
Christopher Furness.
Peers and workingmen, Socialists Liberals and
Conservatives, captains of industry and unionists
are all interested in the movement, and Balfour is
addressing some of the most curiousy mixed au-
diences ever seen in England.
Balfour is making it clear that it is not social
ism he is advocating He urges individual rather
than committee control Of both commercial and
industrial enterprises declaring his belief that the
higher the degree of individual efficiency among
members of any form of managing board the less
likely would they be to work together harmoni-
ously.
A start has already been made on the distribu-
ton of stock among Sir Christophers employees
in the Furncss, Witty & Co. shipyards and docks
at Hartepool, and West Hartepool, and it is
hoped in another three months TO have the
scheme in good running order and to be able to
form definite idea concerning results.
