The New Gift of Tongues.
Certain psychic manifestations in
India, Los Angeles, and elsewhere,
have attracted widespread attention
because they profess to be a recur-
renee of the apostolic 'gift of tongues
is not half so important to the mating
one at all times, and the investigation
Of it is filled with difficulties. One
thing is clear, however, and that is
that the gift Of the ability to speak
in unknown tongues is not half so I'M
portant to the progress of the King
dom Of Heaven, as the gift of tongues
which speak gentle, kindly, comfort,
ing, brotherly words.
The church can probably get along
without new baptism of tongues;
but both the church and the world
sorely need more of the sort Of sim
pie, helpful speech which fell from the
lips of Jesus, and which everywhere
marks the character of the most
Christlike men and women. The
Quakers "thee" and "thy" set him
apart as a member of the society OF
Friends, and his plain" speech is re
| freshing amidst the extravagant bab
bling of our time; but more than tha;
it needs the distinguishing singular
pronouns, the speech of Christians
needs the quality Of restraint and hu
mility and sympathy, which make al
hearers think of the gentle Master
whose words the common people heart
gladly.

Certain monastic orders have en-
joined the rule of silence. Figurative
ly speaking, they have cut out ta'
tongues of their members. This is ;
cowardly way of attempting to avoit

There was place in the early
church for first class reporter and
editor. Would that DR.. Luke were alive
now, with his vivid, discriminating
human pen, to become editor of
great inter church religious paper.
We have polemic denominationalists
and few Christian statesmen in our
editorial chairs. But organized
Christianity has given scant en-.
couragement to men to enter the sue
cession to the four evangelists. We
hire secretaries galore, Of all degrees
of efficiency and inefficiency, but few
feel strongly the need for chroniclers
Of the Kingdoms coming. Religious
papers are poorly supported. Church
folks are usually slow to cooperate
with daily newspapers that try to re-
port religious news; it is only. the
occasional person who is thoughtful
enough to write a note of appreciation
to the editor of his daily paper for
generous treatment of Christianity's
special interests All this is rather
amazing in view of the manifest fact
must be done in twentieth century
ways, and the only sure method Of
reaching everybody nowadays is
through the printed page. The church
may we'll pray for another DR.. Luke
to lead her out into this field of op-
portunity.
There is no college education that
can equal close association with a
great man. Luke was graduate Of
such school, for is was permitted
to him to be companion of the
Apostle Paul. A practical life lesson
| from Lukes career is that wisdom OF
getting as close as possible-not for
purposes Of boasting, but of disciple
ship-to the greatest personalities
within ones ken. And it is to be re-
membered that not all the great men
are famous.

us the virtues of the Good Samaritan,

tune Of 1880. Georges experience with the
Mabray gang is alleged to have been In
October, 1907, In New Orleans. He was
caught for $500 on the fake wrestling
match stunt, but he was induced to believe
that the supposed fatal accident to one OF
the wrestlers was purely an accident and
that such a thing could not occur the sec
ond time, that he went up against the
game again, dropping $1,000 in an effort to
recover the $500. a

 For many years Hale has been chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs which has charge of the hun dreds of millions of dollars of appro- ticn bills. As organized under the Hale leadership. this committee is controlled by senators who have navy yards in their states and to a small naval appropriation bill has been pork barrel legislation of the most vicious kind. The management of these great appropriation bills. year after year, by a little group of navy yard Senators and Congressmen has resulted in giving us a system or political navy yards scattered along OUT coast line, absurd for purposes or defense and disgTaceful from the standpoint of the waste of untold mli- lions of the peoples money
