The Grip of Grace.

INC GRIP OF 6TaSes
Baltimore American.
Much is said Of the grace OF God, little
Of the grace Of human Kind. No one may
undertake to set forth the power Of the
everlasting arms. few have thought to
set forth the power Of the supporting arms
of human love, friendship and help. The
cup Of kindness placed to the lips upon
the weary way Of human toll. the sign
boards placed where the wayfarer may
be directed to the puring brook are little
matters Of human kindliness. Yet see what
has been built upon them. orders and fra
terniues by the score have as their motto
the grip of grace. They propose to aid
and support their members through the
grace Of human helpfulness and they take
pride in the grip being as strong as a
cable
Who can conceive Of the men who frame
and set in place the great girders and
spanning arches of the bridges that seem
TO be replica Of rainbows in the siihou-
cite Of the frosted sky. the amber wave
and the light and shadows Of the ever
changing sun-monuments Of human kind
liness in physical form--who can conceive
Of men with such capabilities falling to
fashion the sentiment of the race into the
cables OF security? Love in modern society
is not poetry; It is passion and power.
Faith is not a tenuous clinging to the ex-
pectations and longings Of life; It is Dur
pose and province Hope Is no longer the
thing that ever springs in the breast; it
is the motive power by which the ardent
desires finding iodgment in the breast are
projected as realities. Is this materialism? ?
Not bit Of it. 1t is the bringing OF the
substance of the molecule- into the meas
urement Of the man. It is the redemption
Of matter and the incarnation OF the true
Spirit Of social grace. It means to give lie
new grip
How men have longed for this very
grace Of the human grip. this breath Of
human sentiment! This touch of the hand
Of humanity The hand Of God is strong,
but somehow there is vastly more assur-
ance in the reality Of grace when the hand
that comes is warm with the blood that
/ tingles in human veins and strong with
the muscles Of the human frame. Some
/ day a poet will sing Of the marvels of
! the grip of the hand that clasps in friend.

power, the hand that leaves with its warn

no longer be regarded as the agency fol
getting butsfor giving; not as the imple
ment Of toll, but the guerdon Of nobility
not as a factor Of seihshness but the ben

that has acquired the grip Of grace ha.
greatly advanced the character Of thu
person who owns It, and has added t,
the advance Of humanity slong the mar

THE TALK OF UNREST.

TT seems to be the fashion for thinkers and
4 writers to complain of present conditions.
The old line conservatives, the persons whose
pocketbooks are plethoric and who think there
fore that the purses of others must be in the
same condition are finding it more difficult than
ever before to make people satisfied, to allay
the unrest.
The new moderator of the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly, which is in session at Atlantic
CITY, preached about unrest and modern condi-
tions on Sunday. He says that we have gotten
warped and wrong ideas of existence; that we
are led by poor motives and that unhappy ideals
possess us. In fact, we seem to be in modern
frenzy of extravaganza and change which NAV
rush us to ruin. The remedy is the return to
the simple life to be satisfied with ideals that
give no cause for the dscontents OF envy and
selhshness Bv the simple life, the moderator
lsays that he means the plain and Cody life.
Others have talked and preached and written
in the same strain, but it is doubtful II them
words have much effect The drift is not to-
ward less FRENZY" but toward more frenzy
Such condition IS characteristic OF nations IN
which wealth and prosperity increase IN giant
stridxs And the frenzy seems to be the
greatest where the tendency is towards the con-
centtation of wealth in the hands of the few
The Presbyterian moderator and those who
take similar views assume the point OF view OF
years ago when fife was regarded as constant
stuggle and a sacrifice, when the "old pioneers
prayed and labored and builded the foundations
upon which the country has grown. Often are
they referred to by preachers and historians. The
pioneers had their troubles in subduing nature
They had great ideals and they followed the
stern, simple life. That is, we are told they
did.
But since their days times have changed The
struggle for existence should not be 50 hard as
it was years ago.
If the struggle is great in instances or is great
on the whole such a condition is due to the
eTeed avarice and selhshness OF man. For
Providence has been good to the people Of this
country and this world Great have been the in
ventons by which labor can be reduced, by
which the productive powers of man have been
increased many fold.
People have come to realize this. They know
that thev ought TO be better off than ever be-
fore They know that there is something funda-
mentally and abnormally wrong when prices
soar so that men get less for their labor than
they did some years ago. They want to find out
the cause They do not want 70 practice econo-
my when natural conditions say economy is not
needed They want to get the full benefit OF in
dustrial developments.
In other words the discomfort and unrest has
its foundation in questions regarding the dis
tribution of wealth, the colossal fortunes on one
hand and begging poverty just around the cor
ner.
Some conservatives say that these conditions
are natural The reverse of this statement is true.
rThey are unnatural.

INAuGuRArIoN Day.

z IMMEDIATELY after the inauguration OF
President Taft an agitation was started for
changing the time Of the ceremonies. The
weather on last Inauguration day was very un-
pleasant, the visitors to the capital at that time
having most disagreeable experience.
AS result a movement began at once to Sc
cure a change in the date of the Inauguration,
and sentiment throughout the country seemed to
be wholly favorable to the change from March
Alto April 90 Many Governors and other prom
inent men expressed themselves as favoring the
April date and bill to amend the constitution
was presented in the House.
This measure has Just been defeated falling one
vote short Of the necessary two-thlrds required
for constitutional amendment Some objection
was made and it was argued that the wealth
er in April was likely to be unpleasant and the
day should be switched into May or early June,
but the chances are greatly in favor Of pleasant
April 30 as compared with a March a.
Another objection was that the change would
proong the term OF President Taft but this
could be avoided by swearing in the new Pres
ident on March 4 without ceremony and then
having the regular ceremonies at a later time.
This method is followed in crowning new King
in England. King George has already taken the
oath, but the coronation ceremonies will not be
held for some time.
AS a matter of fact it should not make much
difference to the country whether Mr.. Taft serv-
ed the seven additional weeks His term will
probably be prolonged considerably beyond that
period by a vote of the people.
The sentiment in the country is undoubtedly
largely in favor of change of inauguration day.
