made-not without some Justification
that young people look upon the society
as sort Of young peoples church serv-

they feel free to say to others and to
their own consciences that they have

that some pastors have felt that the hold

Only when young people SO love the
habitation of Gods house that 1t Is a
grief to them IL they are detained from a

the pastor, as we'll as to those outside of
the church. as living up to their profess
sions.

The simple record Of these words and
works Of Jesus in and near the Sea Of
Galilee takes hold Of the hearts Of men.
A Bible Society worker has told, as an
instance. OF a conversation among pris-
oners during the civil war. The story
is told in the words Of Maj E.:
"One day when 1 came from my cell
to the common room I found assembled
about the stove some fifteen or twenty
officers. Major said one OF them, have
you book which you could loan mer
everything that I had. and I have no
book now but the Bible. and the truth
is, have quit reading everything but
that
general interchange of opinions on the
merits OF the Scriptures, and the con-
versations which ensued developed the
interesting fact that some Of them had
already read the Bible through ten times
since their Imprisonment. and that the
universal experience had been that while
other books speedily palled upon their
taste, they had read the Scriptures with
an increasing relish and enjoyment.
finding. upon every fresh perusal, some.
thing interesting and novel which had
hitherto escaped their attention.
After this, its doctrines and duties
furnished them with failing
themes for conversation and subjects
only good result. Apparently. through
the simple reading Of the Scriptures,
without ministerial help. or even the
aid Of processing Christian. several
OF the widest Of their number became
hopefully pious. and when they were
subsequently removed dfteen or twenty
made a public profession Of religion"
The major concluded his interesting
recital with the remark that he had
met only one of his fellow-prisoners
since the termination Of the war and
that he was an ornament to the Chris
tan profession"

American in the orient has more the air
of being sole representative OF the human
race, and the oriental is classed a. a sub
human species that may eventually DE-

development, into the genus homo.

Mr. Briggs gives the American nation
full credit for its unselfish efforts dur
ing the last twelve years toward de-
livering the Filipino people from q past
that was without hope. Today. we
learn, Filipino hearts thrill with
splendid hope. and the best OF them are

enthusiasm they are chilled by the "a
cial antipathy shown toward them by
nearly every American they meet.
1t is possible. says Mr. Briggs. that
it is not even now too late to rectffy
our great mistake.
1.-The Filipino would almost forgive
the past if he had assurance the future
was to give him the treatment he
Graves from Americans. He does not
crave political independence. but he
unf1inchingly demands his self-respect
and will never yield 1t to our antipathy.
This makes him worth while.

to argue. The champion Of Christianity
soon found himself beyond his depth.
The infidel thought he had vanquished his
opponent. until he said:

further resolved that the various central

ministers who thus observe Labor Sun
day. seeking. with them. to secure as

and labor to select a special day upon
which the attention of all classes may
be concentrated on the questions which
concern the toilers.
After the adoption of this resolution by
the American Federation Of Labor. the
Federal Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America adopted a similar reso-
luton, recommending to the churches OF
America a hearty compliance with the re-
quest of the American Federation OF La

and other exercises appropriate to the oc-
casion
