friendly and intimate ac-
quafntance. TO secure con-
cert OF action and to promote the general
interests of Presbyterianism in this VI
entity is the object Of the proposed
Presbyterian Social Union Of Washington
which it is believed will be formed shortly.
A number Of Presbyterians have been
discussing the matter for over week
and everywhere in the circles of the de-
nomination 1t has met with much en-
thusiasm. The similar successful organl-
cations in Philadelphia and Chicago have
been pointed to and the assertion made
that a social union equally as successful
as either of these should be established
here.
Although in Philadelphia the numbers
Of the denomination are greatly in excess
of those of the National Capital. still it
10 averred that if the Quaker City can
have an active social union membership
of 20 with a large waiting list. Wash
ington can surely out Of the 10000 MEM
bership here secure splendid body of
100 active members and a large waiting
list.
The idea originated in the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church. where
number of the members, including Charles
r. Bailey, HolcOmbe G. johnson and Will
liam NJ. Conrad, planned to interest
churchmen of the denomination in all
parts of the city. Already number of

HIS was the climax Of Christs
humiliation and suffering. In
this one act love exhausted
itself. Beyond it it was impos-
sible for even God to go. BY
this one act the most repulsive and hated
| instrument of torture that this world has
ever known has been transfigured and
made the symbol Of love. an object in
which men shall glory to the end of
time. In the study of this lessen atten-
ton should be given to the account in
each Of the four gospels.
Christ Before PLATE.
From the beginning Of the trial Plate
was convinced of the innocence Of Christ.
The majesty, the poise, the self-control.
the utter absence in both appearance
and manner Of the adventurer or impos-
tor, all this was proof to the trained
Roman that Christ had done nothing
worthy Of death.
1t was the custom to celebrate the pass
over by the restoration of some prisoner
to liberty. The choice of the prisoner
to be thus liberated was left to the Jews.
Plate asked them If, on this occasion, he
should release Jesus. But the proposal
was instantly rejected. The crowd, trained
by their rulers, clamored for the release
Of Barabbas. murderer and leader
in sedition.
1t was not that the Jews cared for
Barabbas; certainly. 1t was not that
they had any sympathy with his fool
hardy attempt at instruction. They
knew we'll that the only result of such
attempts was to increase the suspicious
of the Romans and to draw more tightly
the restrictions by which they were gov
erned. But they reasoned that the power
Of Barabbas was al. an end. He might
be forgiven and forgotten, but somehow
they felt that Jesus was power that
were constant condemnation of their
hollowness and hypocrisy. They could
live with Barabbas; but to live with
Christ was impossible.
This was the secret Of their hatred for
Christ and of their determination that
He must die The coached mob had we'll

The Jews had hoped that Plate would
accept their verdict without inquiring
into the facts. But in this they were
disappointed, The trained Roman de-
manded: What accusation bring ye
against this man." The answer Of the
not been .maiefactor We would not have
delivered Him up unto thee" But where
are your proofs? What has He done?
demanded the merciless governor.
Before the Jewish court the charge
brought against Christ was blasphemy:
This was the gravest charge that could
be brought against any one before that
tribunal 1t was nothing less than trea-
son against God and. the Jewish common
wealth. But they well knew that this

granted permission to the people Of Leip-
zig to hold semi-annual fairs, or open
air markets. for the exchange Of produce
and other merchandise.
Competition and fair ealing were thus
insured. Some of the evils now COM
planned of, such as monopolies and re-
straint of trade. were prevented.
Long before the royal charter was
granted producers and consumers used
to meet at Leipzig regularly to trade. 1t

prehistoric times. owing to its advanta-
geous situation and convenience Of &C
The advantages of the fairs were rec

gan to come from all parts of Europe.
Leipzig was situated at the tntersec-
ton of the trade routes between the east
and the west, between Poland and Ihur-
ingia. and between Germany and Bo-
hernia. Producers and merchants OF those
regions could thus meet half way.

so many quaint and curious characters.

More Money, Less Interest.
The Leipzig fairs have diminished in
relative but have increased in actual

of doing business and because of railway

communication by mail and telegraph.
1t is no longer necessary for sellers 10
bring their merchandise with them or
for buyers to carry their purchases away.
1t is no longer necessary for the emperor
to prohibit markets in any other town, as
MAMMALIAN did in 1907, or to grant safe

The fairs. however. are still held on
the old dates. The "Jubilate'' fair. for
two weeks, follows Easter Monday. The
Michaelmas fair. for three weeks. begins
on the last Sunday In August.
Leipzig fairs these days will run as high

total Of fifty years ago. although the

Paris. queen Of cities. what is your

performed some of his most momentous
feats. and committed some of his most
enormous folles. But your destiny is in
other hands. Man. covering. must look

your reputation Of being the most spec

Paris, empress of cities, what is your
fate?
Has this food of waters come to wash
out the stains Of the blood which has run
in your streets? Have you withstood
battles, sieges, and famines, have you
breasted the revolution. for this? Must
the city that has seen the rise and fall
Of empires, the overthrow Of kingdoms.
and witnessed the execution OF monarchs
be thus helpless before the food?
The whole world knows you, Paris, as
its playground. Because you have been
light and gay. because you have lived
down the dark moments OF history and
become careless and free. must you pay
the penalty?
There are those who would tell US that
this is your retribution. But you have
ever been a child among cities, You
have never put aside the spirit OF gayety
and play. In the exuberance Of your
happiness. and IN your unknowing and
uncaring abandon, have you given Of

Must the whole world weep for you. or

The Peernge Defended.

The House of Lords has been stoutly
defended as 10 the character Of its mem
bership during the British campaign. Il
is asserted that Of its 65C members fewer
than twenty-five have received deroEa-
tory mention in the public press. That
number includes those who have suf-
fered insanity. who have married ac-
tresses, or have been concerned in
divorce suits as principals or CO.
respondents. One hundred peers have
honorable war records. sixtv-eight hav-
ing fought in the South African war.
Several stu living fought In the Crimea.
Several others have Egyptian records.

About One-Quarter OF the present peerage

class, or even the working class Of Great
Britain. In fact, through American and

but has infused in its holder q fairly

No DIPLOMATS from the South

a few weeks ago the Bureau Of Statis-
tics stated that cotton is the largest
item in the United States bill of lading
to foreign countries and shows an in
crease of $2O7.OOO.OOO."
A fine showing. indeed!
1t Is surprising. however. to find. in
looking over the list of our ambassadors
and ministers. that not one OF them. GER
tainly no one at a post of the least I'M
portance. comes from a Southern State
the South embraced within the old lines
Of the Southern Confederacy.
From our diplomatic life the South is
now completely ostracized. despite the
fact that she contributes the largest item
TO our foreign commerce. Is 1t right that
this should be so? OF course. the Presi-
dent. who Is so friendly to the South,
has not brought about such a result In
tentionally. II IS clearly an oversight
upon his part and upon the part Of our
very able and patriotic Secretary of state,
and we venture 20 mention II only in the
hope that in course OF time. at least. rep
resentation VIII be given TO a section
which has in the past contributed so
much and so brilliantly TO our diplomatic
history.
