GREATNESS OF CITIES.

The editor of THE American City
has expressed a thought that is worth
while quoting. He says: 1T is no special
credit to the Inhabitants of NewYor
Chicago. Philadelphia and st. Louis
that they are our largest cities, any
more than it Is to the crodit OF a coun-
try cross roads that a store OF black
smiths shop is located there. 1t is quail
fty that counts. not quantity
And yet cities are apt to pride them
selves on the number of inhabitants and
extent of area. without considering
whether this area is covered with speci-
mems OF architectural beauty, or other
ornaments, OF whether the inhabitants
arc we'll to do and contented. They arc
apt TO forget that small city can be
great, provided 1t has happy popula-
ton, and is governed in wisdom and
righteousness and therefore compare
lively free from corruption and vice.
No city in which the problems of pow
erty and crime are unsolved can claim
true greatness.

CONGRESS.

At the eve OF the meeting of the iirsS

speculation is rife. naturally, as TO
what public business Will receive ot-

1t is generally supposed that a great

washington correspondents believe
that President Taft Will ask for an in

Congress Will comply with this re-
quest.

certain amendments TO the Interstate

one forecast from Washington has !,
that a program of retrenchment will be
carried out. There will be an effort by
the administration. it is said, to cut
down the estimates many millions OF
dollars. as result of the investigations
of department running expenses by the
special pruning committee OF the SEN
ate created at the special session last |
summer
This effort will be regarded with sat
isfaction by the people generally. Gov |
ernnent expenses must be regulated by |
principles of economy. especially when
the cost os living is so high that en- (
pIoyes in the service of the various in |
dustries are under the necessity of re-
sorting to strikes in order To obtain |
enough compensation for their labor. to
keep themselves and families from .he |
verge OF actual want. re 4 n
Ii is evident that the coming session |
OF Congress will be exceedingly busy |
but we hope 1t will find time to attend |
TO such measures as are Immediately |

A NoTABLE ADDRESS.

On the 18th OF October. last, Samuel
Harden Church delivered an address ut
Carnegie Music Hall. Pittsburg, before
the centennial convention or the Chris
tian Church, commonly known as Dis
ciplcs. Col. Church is a descendant
of one of the founders of that sect. His
address was almost sensational He
doctrines OF the denomination and Of
fcred his hearers, as substitute. some
vital principles, as broad as the
world and as deep as the mind of GOO. >"
but these were by no means accepted
In fact the address was rejected: A
formal resolution was adopted declaring
il 10 be the sense of the meeting that
il be not printed along with the other
addresses, unless the protest against It's
publication be printed with IT,.
And what was the tenor Of the
speech?
Col Ch,Ach. after a brief historical
review, referred to a census bulletin
according to which there are in this
country 100000 souls not Identifed
with any church. And these. he said,
are not the ignorant masses, but good
Americans. Why? he asked. Can there
be anything wrong with the churches?
fhis question he proceeded to answer.
And, briefly stated his answer was thar
the churches arc too insistent on dog
mas. In illustration OF this point he
asserted that baptism is not essential.
though many so teach 1T is scarcely
imaginable he said. that the jaller
and his household were Immersed in
the Jail at Phillippi But even if .hey
Were, IT Is plain inference from Scrip
lure that many thousands OF those who
were converted by the Apostles we're
never baptized at all" Further on the
speaker said: What docs it matter
10 you what method OF baptism your
brother chooses so that his own con-
science is satisfied"
The speaker, however, sa &C. hone rnr
