In Acts viii. IA. We read that the
persecution at the time Of Stephens
martyrdom led to the scattering abseed
from Jerusalem Of all the disciples ex-
cept the apostles and that they went
everywhere preaching the Word. The
lesson today begins just there with tAe
statement that they which were scat
tered abroad went as far AZ Phenice
and Cyprus and Antioch. preaching
the word TO Jews only. but that some
at Antioch spoke to the Grscians,
great number believed and turned to
the Lord. That was q blessed scatter
ing which sent the good news so far
from Jerusalem. but We cannot help
wondering il the. disciples had been
obedient to Acts 1. s, might the per
secution have at that time been avoid
ed. and yet persecution was what they
were taught to expect (latt. I. 3:

there was a great scattering today Of
true believers to all the dark places Of
the earth. how soon the church. the
body Of Christ. might be gathered
from all nations.
When the church at Jerusalem heard
the tidings from Antioch they sent to
inquire about 1t. and 1t was fortunate
that they sent the man they did. for

THE INCOME TAX.

Mr.. Aldrich insists upon his figures.
The Payne bill as amended by the re-
publican members of the senate fl
nance committee will produce revenue
enough to support the government. He
reinforces his own calculations with
those Of treasury officials, and asks
that they be accepted.
But, says the senator. still balanc-
ing the question. If the figures fall
short. the solution will not be more
taxes. but smaller appropriations. Es-
Inmates will have to be reduced to
meet the amounts raised by the Gus
toms schedules. He thinks that, any
how, We have been spending too nue.,
money. He could apply the knife and
lop off fifty millions OF dollars annu-
ally.
This is not the most assuring kind OF
talk. even for senate two-thirds re-
publican, and it leaves the country al
large little cold toward Mr.. Aldrich' 5
position. The reyenue-producing pow
er of tariff bill should not carry rs
an attachment single IT, but or and
1t should be above all suspicion on
that score. It should not be abso-
lutely at the mercy Of fat year or q
lean year in the matter Of importa-
tions. Taxes should be laid so as to
guarantee a liberal margin over all
reasonable expenditures. The gov
ernment's support should be incon-
testably assured.
This was the presidents idea proba-
bly, in recommending an Inheritance
tax. That tax, he saw, would not be
subject to the fluctuations attending
customs taxes. 1t would afford the
union Of those fine old certainties.
death and taxes. There is q pretty
steady death rate. even in this healthy
country. and inheritances continue
right along. A tar laid on them
would always be good for snug sum
that would come in very well in any
old year.
And the same argument applies to
IN income tar. Incomes would yield
steadily, and business would be In no
wise disturbed by changes In rates or
adjustments from time to time.
In this view OF tho general question
4 debate on the income tax and other
forms OF direct assessments should be
welcomed. whether any such taxes are
levsod now or not. The country ID In

ate today are men unusually well quail
