churches, each partially supporting a pastor,
and all but one protesting the same doctrine,
though different church organizations. He said,
and said truly, that the people of that town
could have supported one frst-cass pastor, of
scholarly attainments, who would have been a
power for good in the community, and could
have made pilgrimages abroad in the world and
carried back to his people in his discourse, con-
versation and associations the culture, learn
ing and refinement of the best there is, instead
of supporting six half paid men, whose strug-
giles must be to some extent for their daily
bread.
The Philadelphia minister should get out of
the pulpit. In the first place, he has no
faith in the power of the gospel he breaches.
If he thinks the fate of the deity depends upon
the personal efforts of any set of men, and pro-
fessional enthusiasm is requisite to keep the
pulpit filed, according to the will of heaven, he
is worshipping God of small foresight and at
tainments.
A lot of things are wrong in this big world of
ours; but we shall make little progress toward
righting them, if we continue to neglect the
things assigned to u.s. in order to worry about
matters that concern the Creator.

THE HOUSE INSURGENTS.

Like many other martyrs the house insur-
gents may succeed, where they most do think
they fail For instance, it is just possible that
they may never gain the ascendency and may
lose influence at home through lack of patron
age; but their attacks on the speaker may re-
suit in the enactment of popular legislation,
which otherwise might have been suppressed
Whether Joe Cannon raps lot of other polti-
clans over the head, or whether they take the
gavel away from Joe, concerns us very little
Thus far we like the appearance of the Taft
program and hope to see that tactful and re-
sourceful gentleman take advantage of the
schism to force action on some very necessary
legislation.

THE PULPIT AND THE PAY.

A Philadelphia preacher in a scathing ar

sibe for the waning supply of material for the

there is no dearth of minister's and that, on the
contrary, there are more preachers today than
there are pulpts for them to fill, and it is neces-
sary for many of the recruits to go into the field
and build up churches for themselves.

"THE BEST READ MAN"

Reasoning power, discriminating taste and
ability to assimlate knowledge and put it to
its proper intelligent use are necessary to make
reading and research profitable. Merely a
great reader is no more a scholar than a glutton
is an epicure. To have a man in its midst suf-
fering with a great mass of undigested thoughts
of other people is as distressing to a community
as dyspeptic. Give man scholarly training
in methods of thinking, and equip him with a
foundation of fundamental ethics and logic to
build on, and then he can become, if he has the
time and inclination, scholar as well as Zone
of the best read men, in town; but just being
'.well read, :" may mean nothing but mental in
digestion and spiritual cramps for the unfor-
'tunate eater Of unripe science and half baked
truths.

King Leopold died without upsetting the
stock market Now, if he can manage to be
buried on a pleasant day, so that the Brussels
merchants will enjoy their anticipated profits
from cutoff town shoppers, it can be said of
him, that, if his private life was mot all it might
be, he, at least, came up to all the requirements
of a modern potentate. From this it may be
gathered that the stores will not close at Brus-
sells during the funeral.

of man to be always wanting something When
he ceases to want he is dead. We are not dead
and we have no gold. We don't long to die, so
we've just naturally got to long for gold.
