time there is debate among the mis-
SlonarieS in China as to what Chinese
words shall be used for God" and for
| Holy Spirit" 1t is suggestive to con-
slider that whole body of ethical and
spiritual conceptions have been given
speech around the earth by the teach
ers of Christianity. Thus Christ intro
duced into human speech a word
which it had not possessed before.
The old English version rendered this
word as charity which today, OF
course, is utterly inadequate, because
OF the narrow meaning that has be-
come attached to Charity
There We're several words for "love"
in the cultured Greek speech Of the
time, but that one which Jesus Paul
employed is never found in the class
ical Greek authors. This "love' which
he apotheosized is the word which
elsewhere in the New Testament is
used as a synonym for God 1t is a
great outgiving, selfless passion. 1t
is love without thought of self-inter-
est. 1t is love that serves and sacri-
fees. The very word is interpreted
best by Paul's own treatise upon it in
the epistle quoted. This kind of love is
opposed to all Journalism and ceremo-
nlousness. 1t is possible for one to be
professional worker in charitable
and philanthropic causes, and still be
harsh, inconsiderate and selfish in
ones dealings with the individual
An Old Preach for New Times.
Love is easier to praise than to
practice. Henry Drummond practiced
it. That is why his essay lives and
glows. Let one read alongside of it the
essay on love by Bacon, probably the
greatest essayist that ever lived, and
behold the hollowness and emptiness
of the latter.
The danger in considering this les
sion is that the time will be given to
illustrations and panegyrics of the
virtue of love, whereas 1t should be
considered as Paul intended it to be,
as practical life principle, and as a
dominant motive of character. He dill
igently called UP all that the Chris
tian church held most worthy and
contrasted these with love, rendering
the verdict, 1.-THE greatest of these is
love-"
Our day is largely "look out for
number one" day. That is chiefly what
ails us. 1t is the constant impact of
this hard and cold reality which al
most disheartens the reformer. For a
self-serving life principle there must
be substituted the divine principle OF
love. 1t is the love-filled life that
Christ is reincarnated To live his
life over again in these days is simply
to embody the tea hings of this divine
program for the new order of society.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY
is PERMANENTLY ENJOlNED
FROM FIXING JOINT RATES
FROM ATLANTIC SEABoARD.
LIMITS POWERS OF
THE COMMISSION
DECISION IF UPHELD WILL CON-
FINE ITS ACTIVITIES TO SET
ELEMENT OF CASES OF RATE
ORDINATIONS.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The permanent
Injunction sought by western railroads
against the interstate commerce COM
mission in the famous Missouri River
rate case was granted here today by
United States Judges Grosscup, Baker
and Kohlsaat.
The commission, thus defeated, in
its first attempt to bring about what
is alleged to be new system, or prin-
ciple OF rate making, will, it is assert
ed, carry the case to the supreme
court of the United States.
The court also granted preliminary
injunction in the Denver rate case
which is based on similar principles
as the Missouri river case.
Order Made Last Year.
The railroads in the Missouri river
case sought to have the interstate
commerce commission enjoined per-
manently from enforcing the order
the commission made on June "a,
1908, relating to joint rates from the
Atlantic seaboard to Missouri river
cities This order sought to create
system of through rates from the
<h'iaiSiS GSelboSiN W luS Ni iSoOk''
river that were a reduction from the
sums of local rates. This, according
to the western roads, threw a burden
upon them.
The commissions defeated purpose
would have allowed the Atlantic sea
board to deliver goods to Missouri
| river cities on a joint rate Of nine
cents less than could have been done
| if the shipments were first sent tc
!. the Mississippi river and then resent
to the Missouri river.
Limits Commissions Power.
Today's decision, if sustained, will
it is said, limit the power of the in
terstate commerce commission to the
settlement of cases of rate discrimi

opinion in which Judge Kohlsaat con

The progress of immigration shows
certain broad developments. The ten
dency now is toward an influx of for
eigners who are least sympathetic with
our historic national standards. When
immigration brought chiefly English
speaking peoples of our own faith the
problem of assimilation was less SER
ious. Now the Anglo-Saxons. Celts and
Teutons are being superseded by
Latins, Semitics and Orientals, who
are more difficult to incorporate into
the national life. This should not deter
the forces which make for national
unity and Christian ldealism, bur
rather serve as an incentive to them.
The consideration of self interest is
added. If they are not amalgamated in
to our life they will disintegrate it.
If they cease to be regarded as an OPP
portunity, they will become a peril.
The issues at stake Justify the utmost
expenditure of devotion, activity ana

If the ne wworld means nothing more
to an immigrant than a chance to grow
rich then, for the nations sake, he
would better have remained abroad.
Whatever be his motive, however, it is
the business of the churches to help
inspire him with the ideals that are
considered consistent with the genius
Of this land.
