JUST WHO ARE r4E ENaLlsHf
London the Center Of a Mighty En-
pire-Vast Population.

II this question: Who are the Eng
lish? were asked, either OF the aver.
age EnglIshman or Of the average
American visitor to England, the an
swer would probably be both inaccur-
ate and confusing. The average Eng
Hshman knows little of the origin of
mis- race, and Is not of the mental
makeup that sets much store by such
matters in ANY case; and the Amer
lean pays little heed to anything ex-
cept to what comes directly under his
notice as he travels about to and from
London as his center.
London itself is city of some four
million six hundred and odd thousand
inhabitants. 1t is small nation in
itself. The total population of the
Kingdom of Great Britain and ireland
is only 43,66O,O00 (19O6). But London
is not England. The United Kingdom
OF Great Britain and Ireland is not
England, with it's total area of 121, 900
square miles. No; what the world
knows as England is the British en-
pire, which includes the above, and in
addition some 100000 square miles,
and population of about 40 900 900.
The known surface of the globe is es-
timated at about 100000 square
miles; its total population is believed
to be about l,sO0,OOO,OOO The British
empire therefore occupies more thea
one-flfth OF the earth's surface. and its
population is also more than one-ffth.
or about % per cent. of the inhabitants
of the globe.

SOCIALISM AND THE CHURCH
Rev. Charles Sickle Discusses tn
Preacher and Socialism.

Rev. Charles Sickle Discusses the
Preacher and Socialism.
Many advocates of socialism de.
clare that if the church were to advo.
cate the doctrines of this system work
ingmen would crowd into the church.
In the first place, it is not the chief
business of the church to get crowds.
Its chief business is to preach the
truth, as it sees it. If the mere get
ting of crowds were the only criterion
of success Christ's mission was a
failure. When he was crucified, he
had a mere handful of followers.
Moreover, the great mass of working
men are not particularly interested in
social problems. They do not attend
their trades union meetings with any
degree of regularity. 1t is well
known fact that only a small percent
age of the members of a particular
local regularly attend it's meetings,
and the trades union makes a spe-
cialty of the social question as it re-
lates to the affairs of it's members.
The average socialist meeting is also
comparatively poorly attended. If
meeting can secure more than cor
poral's guard under ordinary circum-
stances, why should it be expected
that the church through the preaching
of precisely the same principles, would
he crowded. Moreover, quite a good
raany socialist ministers have honestly
attempted to preach socialism, but in
practically every case their audiences
have been very small. 1t has been
insisted that if a minister were to
preach socialism, he would lose his
| job, because the church would not
stand for the preaching of such doc
trines 1t may be that in few cases
socialist preachers have been re
quested to resign because of ths
preaching of Objectionable economic
doctrines; but in nearly every case
| IT, has been observed that the min
lister was discredited not because HI
had said too much but because he no
the ability to say much more. Thu
preacher or advocate of any system
should remember the law in the max
ing of a cannon viz: that it must b.
one hundred times heavier than tn
shot that it fires. Most of men wht
have thus been discredited have bee
