 When we come to study the facts more immediately connected with the kingdom the same thing is true. Christ's influence is increasingly manifest.

JOHN WYcLIFFE AND REFoRMA.
 TON.

The following is a synopsis of the second lecture by Rev. Julius Atwood of the Episcopal church. He said in part:
 The life of John Wycliffe may be di- Vided into two parts. The first period ends with the year 1878, the year of the Latin schism when rival pope con- tended with rival pope. This event it has been said changed Wycliffe from d critic to a declared opponent of the papcy" The first period reveals one of the greatest and certainly the last of the great schoOlmen in his academic career at Oxford accommodating and giving out his vast stores of learning. It reveals the stern career of the great patriot, and political as well as relig- ious leader. But although the better and larger part of his work was to be done after 1878, it was not so promi- nent a part as that he apparently played in the history of events. He retires about this time from London either to oxford or to his quiet cOun- try rectory in LutterwOrth Now is organized what was known as The Poor Priests" men who trained and educated under Wycuffe. either in the lecture hall at Oxford or in the rec tory of LutterwOrth, went forth throughout England preaching the doctrine that he had taught them.
 They were a powerful army whose equal had not been seen since the in vasion of England by the friars almost two centuries before. They were not educated. many of them at least were not university men, but their message was to the plain people. They supple

ing. or with ceremonial practices, or with a contempt for the world We are discriminating between the temporal and eternal, the transient and the per manent, between the husk and the kernel We are not breaking with the Bible but with crude notions of the Bible; we are not breaking with God but with the crude theolOgies about God
 The church in the world was never more influential. Christ's impress was never upon it more unmistakably. We owe il to those who come after us to leave to them the heritage of fidelity 10 our trust and devotion to our ideals Let US hold aloft the torch of God And. let us be assured that Christ still keep eth watch above our own. He is as much concer6ed about your work and mine as He was about the work in Asia Minor in the first century.

darkness that is in the world and can only be driven out by the rising of the sons of righteousness.
 The children of the living God are the light of the world. Men do not comprehend this fact as they should. One man says education will bring the light and drive out darkness. Educate men, he says, and the heart will take care of itself" To show the folly of this we have but to note that many men convicted of most awful crimes have been highly educated. Education is not the light of the world. Greece at the zenith of her learning and civ iliZation was utterly sinful It takes more than education to drive out the darkness. Reforming a man, unless done by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, will not drive the darkness man good. Now, am not speaking a word against law, reformation, or edu- cation. In the light Of history. con- science. and the word of God they are aids to the light as it is in Christ Jesus. John G. Patton and those who followed him in the New Hebrides did more to bring light to those people than law and education could have done in a thousand years.
 God has put us here 10 De candles. to give light. He does not intend us to be dark-lanterns, only giving a lit tie light here and there where We may be turned. A candle is not lighted to be put under a bushel. The world is not taking it's conception of Christian ity from Christ and the bible, but from the members of the church. You can not keep a man from evil by being good yourself: it is only by mani festing the beauty of holiness that your light may shine. If We would get

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

| At the Christian church L. Williams. minister, the Nheme was: The Nature of True Greatness" Matt 20: 20. Who soever would be great among you let ! him be your minister"
 1 The speaker said: Jesus and his | company Of disciples were on their way to Jerusalem. In a few days Je- sus is to be crucified and the kingdom would then be established. James and John came to Jesus with the request that they might sit in his kingdom. the one on the right hand and the other on the left. They were ambitious and de- sired positions of authority and honor in the new kingdom. Jesus answered. "Ye know that the princes of the Gen
 tiles exercise dominion over them. and they that are great exercise authority
 upon them. But it shall not be so
 among you; but whosoever would be
 great among you. let him be your
 minister. and whosoever would be chief
 among you, let him be your servant"
 Thus Jesus gives a new definition of
 greatness. As yet the disciples were
 worldly in their views and understand
 ing of the kingdom and greatness to
 them was synonOmOus with authority
 to rule others. But in the kingdom of
 Christ the great are those who serve
 mankind. Position and authority make
 one great only when uplifting humani-
 ty. True greatness is power used in
 the service Of mankind When Jesus
 and his disciples came to the room in Jerusalem where they were to observe
 the passover there was no host to re-
 ceive them or servant to perform the common courtesy of washing their feet
 The disciples were still in an indignant
 frame Of mind as a result of the dis cussiOn as to who should be the great est and not one of them offered to act as a servant. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands" arose and washed the disciples feet. Jesus was conscious of his posi- ton a master and of his power. vet he did rot command another to perform this act of courtesy: he became a ser want and gave the world an example of true greatness.
 The ambition to be great is praise worthy. Everyone may become great in his own sphere of action. With what faculties are you endowed? These faculties give you power in life. Here is one possessed of splendid intellect. To be great let him give the world the benefit of his wisdom. Another has the faculty of 5ccumulation-of acquiring wealth. Let him use his means to bless the world and he will be accounted great. Let us beware that we do not overlook the powers that we are wont to call little and of small value. It is not ability used in service. Keep not back the kind word, stay not the hand that would give a cup of cold water It was a little thing to wash the dust from the disciples feet but Jesus did it and the memory of this deed still lives
 This definition of greatness finds response in our souls. The world ex- alts the man who humbly serves his fellows. Lincoln served his country men. Francis Willard sought to ele- vate the weak and erring and the in- fuence of these lives cannot be des- troyed.

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON. January 16.-The rate OF dis
count Of the Bank OF England was re-
duced from to 5 per cent today.
The reduction was anticipated. as the
fresh gold arrivals. most Of which were
absorbed by the bank. and the return of
cash to the country SO materially
strengthened the reserves in the metal in
spite Of the considerable amount taken
by South America, that there was no ex-
cuse ror a further prolongation of the
higher rate, which so disconnected trade
for some months past. Even had the
bank desired to retain higher rate 1t Is
doubtful II 1t could be made effective, as
the supply of money in Lombard street
was so abundant as to be almost for the
moment in excess OF the requirements.
The discount rate in the open market
fell to a. per cent. The recent CONT
mental purchases OF sterling bills indi-
Gated the probability that the gold bor-
rowed from France during the American
stringency would be allowed to remain
here for time and the bills renewed.
This proved further inducement for the
bank to lower it's rate. The stock ex-
change already had fully discounted the
5 per cent rate. and the actual announce
ment caused only a slight hardening OF
quotations.
In the American section business was
checked by the lack Of pronounced
lead from Wall street. With the easy
New York opening the undertone became
uncertain and the market finished ir-
regular st. Paul and Union Pacific were
steady.

is NOT OPTIMISTIC
NR. W. v. cox DIsCUSSES FL
NANcIAL SITUATION.

The currency commission of the amer
lean Bankers Association has completed
arrangements for a meeting in Chicago
next Saturday to consider financial mat
ters and prospective congressional legis-
lation.
Mr. w. V. Cox. president Of the Sec
ond National Bank Of this city. who is
a member OF the commission. was asked
today by a reporter the probable action
OF the commission. and he said he was
unable to prognosticate; but he did not
believe lne commission would change its
position on the currency question: po-
sition which 1t had taken after many
conferences in Washington and elsewhere
an5 after the hearings it had last year
before the banking and currency commit
tee Of the House.
The members have heard from said
NJ. Cox, think the Aldrich bill dis
appointing measure Of relief and unsuited
to the currency needs of commerce.
1T is maintained that there can be no
elasticity in g. bond-secured circulation
1t Is thought by some OF the members
that the only effect Of the measure will
be to create an artificial market for mu-
nicipal and other 5onds. as was done
during the civil war, when 1t was neces-
sary to market our bonds.
II the credit currency plan adopted by
the commission and approved last sum-
mer at the Atlantic City bankers con-
vention were enacted into law, there
would never be an emergency, the volume
OF currency automatically adjusting itself
to conditions. expanding and contracting
the crops 1t will expand. When there
arises a demand for currency to move
the crops it will expand. Dhen there
Is redundancy 1t will contract.
The members Of the commission will
hardly favor the new Fowler bill. Each
bank is taxed In this bill to guarantee
the deposits of all. In other words, judg-
ment and conservatism must take care
of ignorance and recklessness. Objection
Is also made to national banks doing
savings banks business and ente ring the
field OF trust companies.
There are distinct lines IN the business
of these institutions. and they should be
kept distinct Each institution should do
the business peculiar to that institution
and not invade the fields of others-too
common these days. II savings banks
are going to do q commercial business,
they should be permitted to do so only
under national bank restrictions.
Il am not very optimistic about i'm
mediate financial legislation that will be
Of any material benefit to the business
interests OF the country. The conditions
are most unfortunate where 50 much Is
needed and where there are such oppor-
tunities for remedial legislation"

LIVELY COTTON MARKET.
More Business Than for ANY Day il
Months Past.

NEW YORK. January 18-The cotton
market was very active and excited again
today. with more business than for
any day in months past. and sentiment
extremely favorable to an advance in
prices. The report that Daniel Sully has
embarked on campaign to move up
prices appears to have had a strong ef-
feet. and local quotations advanced 81. so
per bale since the low level OF yesterday
morning. The opening today was firm at
an advance OF 11a22 points.
There was heavy realizing. but offerings
were absorbed by a rush of buying orders
apparently from all sections. and after a
slight reaction the market advanced
again, with March selling at 11.47 and
cent a pound above the prices ruling at
the first OF the year. Spot cotton houses
were heavy buyers here.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Odd lots of Mergenthaler stock sold to-
day at the meeting of the stock exchange
for 200. which is the highest level reached
since the recovery set in from the depres-
sion which affected the entire list. This
movement Is accounted for by those who
claim to have some knowledge of the af-
fairs Of the company by excellent busi-
ness prospects and a natural return under
the circumstances to the levels which were
maintained several months ago.
Better figures were also recorded for the
bonds and the preferred stock OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. and while the volume Of business
was not large the securities in both In
stances were held at prices which show
considerable advance over the low record
Of recent weeks.
This change in the attitude OF the own
ers of the stock. as well as the invest
ing spublic. is attributed to the belief that
the change in the MANAGEMENT OF the
company which La to be brought about by
the choice of the directors of the company
who are to represent the majority OF the
stockholders will result in the selection OF
local men as officers.
The committee which is inviting proxies
on behalf of the policy of a local board
is receiving many responses, ana the
prospect is that the vote cast Saturday
next at the annual meeting will show a
large majority for the ticket which has
been named.
Tne Illness Of Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens.
who is in Albany, n. Y, Is pronounced
to be due to appendicitis, but from 1nfor-

attend the meeting Of the stockholders
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company in this city Saturday, as he is
one Of the largest stockholders. AS he
will be unable to be here in person, it Is
stated that the stock which he purposed
to vote will be cast, as he intended 1t
should be- for the ticket which repre-
sents local control.
At a meeting today of the directors Of

which has been made in the control of the
