Widespread American Culture.
"But in America, whereas, perhaps,
general science and culture do not
reach such a height in individuals or
in one particular class as here in Eu-
rope, to make up for it this culture is
far more widespread-nay, there is no
comparison between the universally
of culture here and in America, SO
much does it exceed ours. And this is
what is called American democracy.
And now I will tell you this: If a
high state of civilization does not in
sure happiness to the human race,
then we ought to cast it away and re-
turn to the times when men walked
about on all tours; but if we admit
that widespread civilization does con-
duce to human happiness, then | can
only affirm that, taking one country
with another, human happiness is in
comparably greater in America than
anywhere in Europe. This is to say
that America the democratic is near
est of all to that human ideal which
man has been striving after for SO
many centuries.
''In order to be able to judge of a
nations moral standard one must have
some sort of foundation to go on.
Of all human truths we may take this
one as the least, doubtful, that the de-
velopment of education brings the de-
velopment of morality in it's wake. If
anybody doubts this he has only to
take statistics of crime from the first
nation that falls to his hand and he
will see the difference between the
number of criminals who are quite il
literate, those partly educated and
those highly instructed. And if this
be so it is perfectly clear that, since

American Women.
Never before and nowhere else in
the world have women had such a
good time as in America. The laws
make up to her, custom gives her free
dom, public opinion shields her even
when she is at fault, and all the men
pet and spoil her. This respect for
women is a general trait in the Anglo
Saxon character, but it is greater in
America than in England. The Amer
lean woman is a little like a spoilt
child But when you ask me if she
stands higher or lower Intellectually
than the European woman | must ask:
With what class of European wom-
en- am l to compare her?' We have
differences between the different
classes of women such as do not exist
at all in America. For instance, with
us a 'drawing-room' lady, besides her
own languages, speaks goodness knows
how many foreign ones; she plays on
the piano and knows how to talk
about art and literature with the
greatest charm-and that is what is
chiefly necessary. Her mind is f1ex-
ible and developed if she thinks fit
to pose as something unusual she
knows how to cover her perfumed
soul with a cloud of mystery. In the
thick forest of words and feelings she
moves about as if she were at home.
In general she is quick and as keen
in society as a razor; to speak the
truth, she is not learned, but devel
oped, both psychologically and aes-
thetically, to the highest point.
Comparison Hard to Make.
Compare with the country wench
Chloe. She walks about with red,
bare feet, drinks vodka, cannot read or
write, knows absolutely nothing of
what is going on around her; the world
reflects itself only in her eyes, as the
heavens are reflected in water; Moth
ing touches her brain. Now, with
which of these two sisters am l to
compare the American woman? Leav-
ing out the blue stockings and a small
percentage who by travelling in Eu-
rope have made themselves up on
European lines, will take the average
American woman We find exactly
the same thing that l mentioned when
speaking about American civilization
and culture. Every American woman,

When We Long For Power.

Many a Christian of good average
standing really longs for spiritual
power-at times. When he hears it
said of certain rare individuals, as
was said recently of a widely known
leader in the Kingdom, Mr.. -
lives his Christianity so remarkably
that you are always uplifted by it
when he is in your house." he thinks
he would rather have that power, so
that people would talk that way
about him, than anything else in the
world. His desire is sincere, for tie
moment, but it does not last long
enough. If it did, the ~1onged-for
power would come. Blessed are
they that hunger and thirst after
righteousness, for they shall be
filed" But they must care more for
the power of the Spirit than for any
thing else in their lives. Which
that they must be willing to
pay the price that the Spirit demands
for complete entry into anyone's life.
And that is stern, rigid duty-doing
at every point; absolute surrender CT
self and all of self's interests; the
making of the Kingdom and its inter
ests first and supreme in ones life.
If this seems too high a price to pay,
we need not wonder that our lives
lack the occasionally, languidly Gov
eted power.-Snnday-School Times.

One of Thompsen's legs was badly

'sThey Feared as They Entered Into
the Cloud"

Many of the greatest and most up
lifting experiences of life approach
in the guise of fearsome clouds.
Whether any cloud shall be changed
into "the Majestic Glory depends
upon whether it shuts in or shuts out
Christ. If He be within it, the vision
splendid must soon burst forth to
show the Master more radiant, more
divine than before.
To those drawing consciously near
the close of their days this mount of
the TRANSPORTATION has its lessons of
exceeding grace. 1t is not a pleasant
thing to anybody to grow old. To
most men, despite all they say and
the jests they make, age comes as un-
expected and unheralded as a cloud
drifting across Hermon's heights.
From some source, invisible, there
comes a sudden shadow and a dread
full chill. Something has shut out the
sun, slowed the beating of the heart.
. Happy, thrice happy, that
disciple VINO sees the curtain shut
down behind him and life only to see

Lord" and hence church" From II
comes the Scotch kirk" the Dutch
"kerk" and the German "kirche."
Some think IL should be so rendered
in this epistle, and that this lady is
the Ephesian Church ~personihed, her
sister the church where John was
holding services at the time, her chill
dren the sorely tempted Ephesian
converts.
If so, the significance simply broad
ems from the family home to the
church home. The lesson was and
remains appropriate to both. Neither
at the house nor in the church do we
need a new theology, nor additional
commandments. In both places we
need the Pentaeostal spirit inspiring
us with one accord to continue stead
fast in the temple; with gladness and
~singleness of heart breaking bread at
home;" in church, in the house, on
the street constantly reiterating,
thoughtfully contemplating, logically
applying the duplex commandment OF
love.
Such a widowed saint as have
imagined Cyria, when a boy | was
privileged to know. Her time, too,
was spent in helping others. One
day she stopped me on the street and
said: my boy, do you remember
how Nero wished all the Romans had
one neck, that he might wiring it2
Well, | was just wishing that all the
Christians of York had one neck, that
| might hug it," Her life, whether
worshiping at the temple or break
ing bread at home, approved her
words.
What a warning is Johns Look to
yourselves that We receive a full re-
ward" Religion is more than a
means for gaining heaven or escaping
hell. In neither place, any more than
upon earth, are rewards and punish
ments meted out with stupid and in
discriminate uniformity.
In the future life remorse will not
be localized. Some among the saved
barely squeeze through the gates,
others have an abundant entrance.
Inside, many are unadorned at all;
the crowns of others are plain cir
clets; some heads are wreathed with
stars. While rejoicing in their re-
demptfon will not multitudes regret
their empty-handedness?
To be first at school, in games,
among business men, is q lofty ambi-
ton. Loftiest of all ambitions is to
be first in the kingdom of heaven; to
be richest where moth aud rust cor
rupt not, where thieves break not
through, where industry has its full
reward. Such deposits in heavenly
vaults increase at compound interest
If we walk determinedly in the mar
row path, abhor falsities, work no
unworthy schemes, speak no unkind
words, are intolerant of our W sins,
tolerant to other sinners, make tenn
pies of our homes and homes Of our
temples.
Browning puts in the dying mouth
of its leader the cause of that post
Pentacostal joy at church and at
home:
For life with all it yields of JOY and woe
And hope and fear-beIieye the aged
friend
Is just our chance of the prize of learning
love,
How love might be. hath been indeed
and is.
