We cannot always be doing a great

something; to be silent. to suffer. to
pray, when we cannot act, is accept

You will find it less easy to uproot
faults than to choke them by gaining

We ought to pray daily for quick
and tender consciences, so that we may
at once discern any laxity in our fulfill

the conscience; faithfulness makes it
more acute. If we do today's duty
well, we shall see tomorrow's duty
more clearly.

penalty. And since his sin and pen
atty have been inherited by his chill
dren, the one sacrifice for sin is suff1-
Gent for all.
The work of atonement is not com
pleted. The first half of atonement
is the satisfaction of justice. But
even this part is not yet completed
The Redeemer presents his sacrif1ce
in two parts, according to the type.
The first effusion of his blood spoke
peace to believers who now have the
ears to hear and the heart to obey;
the second effusion, as shown by the
law Leviticus xvi, 15), will make
reconciliation for the sins of all the
people-the whole world of mankind.
Then the other part of atonement be-
gins.
After the Divine reconciliation
comes human reconciliation. The
great Messiah will not require sacri-
| fees of humanity, but, on the contrary,
will open the blind eyes and cause the
knowledge of the grace of God to
| reach Adam and every member of his
race. Then all willing for reconcilia-
ton will be helped by the great Medi-
ator of the new covenant and by
| Israel, his chosen people and earthly
representatives. The object to be ac-
complished during Messiah's reign is
the bringing to all the willing and
obedient the restitution which God
| has romised-restitution to all that
was lost. Ultimately Messiah will
transfer the allegiance of the whole
world (perfected by hirn) to Jehovah
God, that he may be all in all q
| Corinthians XIV, 2S).

/ improved the opportunity by destroy
ing the monuments of idolatry and
repairing the fortified places that had
been laid waste by the king of Egypt
i in the days of his grandfather. He
has the record of defeating. through
faith, the largest army of men ever
gathered together. The effect of the
i campaign was good. After returning
home. Asa, stimulated by the prophet
4 Obed convened the people, including
a number from the ten tribes. They
entered into convenant to seek the
Lord God Of their fathers with all
4 their heart and with all their soul. IN
the latter part of his reign his faith
became feeble. He applied to the
king Of Syria for help against Israel.
He put Hananf the prophet into prison
for rebuking him. The close of his
| life was marked by falling away from

of the older colleges a score and more
of years to grow the chances of it,

necessary for me to deliberately Justify
to the people of Connecticut a prefer
ence to be tried before a court of JUS
tice rather than before an administra-
tive commission?
1t would be absurd for a business
man like myself to attempt to make
in q few letters an adequate defense
OF settled principles of civil liberty and
American constitutional law. But I can
see, as | think other business men can,
that commission sits and acts as 4,
branch Of the executive power, and
therefore must be free from many
wholesome restraints against arIitra-
riness and injustice with which the
law has surrounded judicial activities.
/ know also that the life training Of
our judges peculiarly fits them to
weigh evidence, to analyze a. complex
mass of facts and to apply logically
and justly to the relevant facts the
rules of law and right reason properly
controlling the issues Of the contro
versy. I feel. moreover, in comman
with other men of sober thought, that
our judges are peculiarly protected by
the traditions of their high office and
by constitutional guarantees IN the in
dependent, signle minded adminIstra-
ton of justice.
But ! ought not to have to argue this
point. it ought to be enough for me to
ask you in turn, and through you the
thoughtful people of Connecticut, to
refresh your memories of past struG-
giles for civil liberty. and to give for
yourselves the reasons why the per
sonal and property rights of the peo-
pie ofthis country are protected as no
where else in the world, under a gov
eminent of law. safeguarded by the
reference of controversies to the de-
termination of an Independent and
trained judiciary.
If, as YOU say. and as I believe. the
thoughtful people of this state do not
share the popular prejudice against
corporations and against railroads. I
ask them. through you. to secure for
US what they would not deny to the
most despised and hated individual,
namely, the right to have controver-
sizes Directing important property
rights tried before a properly consti-
tuted judicial tribunal. Yours truly,

Messrs. Sverett G. HILL President; Ar
thur S. Barnes, Secretary, Connec-
ticut Editorial Association, New
Haven, Conn:
Dear Sirs: / have received requests
from some OF the members of your as
sociation to make my letters briefer.
j shall accordingly not undertake i'll
this letter to do more than answer
some of your questions regarding a
court of commerce.
/ suggest for consideration the fol-
lowing definite plan. Let the IegisIa-
t1re nroVide three additional judges of
the superior court Let the chief JUS
t1ce of the supreme court from time
to time assign a judge or judges of the
superior court to conduct the sessions
Of the court of commerce. This court
should have legislative authority to
act under its own simple rules of pro-
eedure ana 0 fevidence, which should
be so framed as both to prevent de-
lays in the settlement of controversies
and also to give the freedom of in
qs1iry necessary for the effective in
Vestigation and speedy and just de-
termination of difficult and complex
commercial questions.
It is my belief that such a court
would be better adapted to deal with
good many intricate commercial
controversies than the ordinary court
OF justice with its technical and rigid
procedure. But / now propose such a
court only for the determination df
controversies as TO the reasona bleness
and fairness of charges made and ser
vices afforded by those who serve the
general public. including particularly
the so-called public service corpora
lions.
You ask me to state the difference
between a court and a commission and
to explain why a court is better for
the trial of controversies. If this dues-
ton We're asked by an inquiring states
man from Siam, or from some other
oriental nation DESTROYS of under
standing why Anglo-Saxons believe in
the separation of the judicial and ex-
ecutive departments of government. I
should consider it a natural question.
But has all the experience four faith
ers been so far forgotten that it IS
