the secretary OH the treasury. that the
estimates Of the expenses OF the gov
eminent for the fiscal year ending
June 80, l911-that is, for the next
fiscal year-are less by S55, ,663, 900
than the total Of appropriations for
the current fiscal year and less by
S94OO0,000 than the estimates for that
year. So far as the secretary Of the
treasury is able to form q judgment as
TO future income, there VIII be no
deficit in the year ending June 80, 1911,
but small surplus Of S712,OOO.
In the present estimates the needs
Of the departments and Of the gov
ernment have been cut to the quick.
For the purpose Of securing informa-
tion which may enable the executive
and the legislative branches to unite
in a plan for the permanent reduction
OF the cost Of governmental admins
tration the treasury department has
instituted an Investigation by one Of
the most skilled expert accountants IN
the United States. The object Of the
investigation is TO devise means to In
crease the average efficiency Of each
employee. There is great room for i'm
provement toward this end, not only
by the reorganization Of bureaus and
departments and in the avoidance Of
but also in the treatment
Of the individual employee.
Under the present system It constant
" happens that two employees receive |
the same salary when the work Of one
is far more difficult and important and
exactlng than that Of the other. Su-
perior ability is not rewarded or en-

II was as a matter Of teoad policy ur
gent that this opportunity should nol
be lost. the indispensable Instrumental
lty presented itself when a group Of
American bankers of international
reputation and great resources agreed
at once to share In the loan upon pre-
eisely such terms as this government
should approve. The chief of those
/ terms was that American railway ma
terial should be upon an exact equality
with that Of the other nationals join
ing in the loan In the placing of or
ders for this whole railroad system.
After months Of negotiation the equal
participation Of Americans seems at
last assured.
In one Of the Chinese-Japanese con-
ventiOns Of Sept l Of this year there
was a provision which caused consid-
cradle public apprehension in that

quarters to seek to establish a monop-
oily Of mining privileges along the
South Manchurian and Antung- Muk-
den railroads and thus to exclud
Americans from a wide field Of enter
prise. to take part in which they were
by treaty with China entitled After
a thorough examination Of the cOnven-
tions and of the several contextual
documents the secretary Of state reach
ed the conclusion that no such monop-
oily was intended or accomplished.
This government made inquiry Of the
imperial Chinese and Japanese gov
ernments and received from each Off
cial assurance that the provision had
no purpose inconsistent with the poll

Two Vacant Chairs

issue of this paper)
Hard by the street where press along
With tireless feet the busy throng
In quest Of business, pleasure, gain
OF honor, wealth, or higher aim,
There stand two chairs, unoccupied
By those who kept them,-side by side;
Faithful and well, their service-done-
Together, they-father and son.
Within the sphere where love is crowned
And faith and truth and grace abound,
Where kindred hearts in joy combine
TO make of home, a place divine;-
Shadows now spread their gloomy way,
Until dark night succeeds to day.
Two faces from the earthstone-gone-
Together they,-father and son.
These vacant seats, message speak
10 living men; who ceaseless seek
With tensive nerve and anxious care
The thugs of earth to win and share.
Sadly they whisper one brief word,
In silence spoken, silent heard;
In home, in church. in bank and store,

Methodist

At the M. E. church last Sunday the
Pastor chose for his text Gal. 4:3O, "Cast
out the bondwoman and her son for the
son of the bondwoman shall not be heir
with the son of the freewoman." This
text shows the difference between the
legal and the spiritual Church; between
the old and the new nature and between
regeneration and sanctification. Isaac
and Ishmael could not live peaceably
under the same roof, as Ishmael was con-
tinually pagueing Isaac and there was
no alternative but to get rid of one or the
other. Ishmael was the child of the
flesh, half slave and half free and Abra-
ham loved him because he was his own
son. Isaac was the child of promise,
born contrary to all the laws of nature,
born in a miraculous way and received
by faith in the promise of God, represent
ing to us the new life, the new birth of
the Christian. The child born after the
flesh prosecuted the child born after the
Spirit and thus it has ever been in the
world. The Jews representing the legal
religion had the Templeand the Affairs
of the True God, they tasted. made long
prayers, gave tithes, they had the Law
and the Prophets, they had religion if
anybody ever had, but did they have
religion? The young Ruler was an ideal
young man, an example of religious life,
but did he have religion The legal has
always been opposed to the spiritual and
the same is true of the two natures in
man. Paul expresses this when he says,
"The good that would do not and the
evil that I would not that 1 do, Oh
Wretched man that 1 am who shall de.
liver me from the body of this death ?''
So the struggle goes on in the human
heart between Ishmael and Isaac. Gods
command was to least out the bond
woman and her son." That was no easy
task, for it was tearing the very heart
out of Abraham to part with the son, it
was real crucifixion, a death of self,
but once the sacrifice was made there
was peace in Abraham's home and in his
heart, as the result of this definite sacri-
fee in his life, for it was not growth
but an act. The real blessing of sanctif.
cation was POW in store for Abraham in
the offering up of Isaac, for it is not sim.
ply the casting out of the old nature, but
the conservation of the new, for by this
conservation Abraham became the friend
of God and the Father of the faithful.
