Condemn Consolidation Plan.

The provision of the bill relating to the
roads are particularly condemned by Sen
ators Cummins and Clapp.
Section IL of the bill as reported by
the committee they say, begins with
the laudable attempt to prevent the con-
solidation or combination Of railway lines
which directly and substantially com
pete with each other, but before 1t reaches
its end it not only nullifies the prohibit
ton with which it started out. but actu-
ally takes the back track and if 1t were
to become a part of the law 1t Is our opin-
ion that consultations and combinations
could be lawfully effected that are now
forbidden
The senators then proceed to outline
their objections, remarking that one pro-
vision is 'indefensible" and that the pre-
cipitate action of the committee in report
ing the bill Immediately after the hearing
upon it had closed has made it impossible
for them to frame definite amendments.
Make Stock at Par.
OF the stock and bond features of the
bill the two insurgent senators say:
We believe that. however commendab bic
the motive which inspired the writer of
these sections. the abuse of overcapitali-
zation can be continued under them with
out legal abatement
I'VE believe that plain. straightfor-
ward declaration that capital stock issued
by corporations which Congress has the
power to regulate shall be paid for al
par. and that if paid for i'm property or
services the reasonable value of the prop
erty and services shall be fixed by the
interstate commerce commission is all
that is required; and that the infinite va
riety of qualifications and exceptions
found in these sections should be elimi-
mated.
I'VE believe that capitalization OF
common carriers represented by bonds
will be sufficiently guarded if the pur-
poses for which the proceeds of the bonds
can be used are carefully prescribed anG
the proper penalties for misuse of the
proceeds are imposed.
I'VE believe that it would be prudent
to SO separate the legislation upon this
subject as not to imperil the regulations
enacted under an unquestioned legisla
tive power by their association with The
exercise of a legislative power which. al
though we believe 1t exists, has not YET
been affirmed by the Supreme Court o.
the United States"

Wide knowledge of Statistics.

This long service as chief clerk of the
bureau of statistics gave Mr.. Whitney not
only wide acquaintance with public men
in all parts of the country who relied upon
the bureau for statistical information. but
also an exceedingly wide knowledge of
commercial and economic conditions
throughout the United States and in other
parts of the world. The Statistical Abb
stract of the United States. the Monthly
Summary of Commerce and Finance and
the Annual Report on Commerce and
Navigation, now recognized as standard
works of reference regarding commercial
and other conditions in the United States,
were built up under his immediate super
vision and largely brought to their pres
ent standard through his personal labor
and constant supervision of their details.

soothing speech and of dreamy affection.
There is an element of poesy in all their
conceptions of the divine human Christ.
They speak of him in language which the

nursery endearments." They are ready
to adopt the language Of the renowned
French theologian, eminent orientalist
and brilliant rhetorician. Renan, when he
speaks of the Christ of God as the "sweet

BY WILLIAM r. ErIJs

Stereotyped phrases creep into all
speech, and one NAV frequently hear
nowadays talk of Mass movements
towards Christ in Burma. India Korea
and Uganda. The phrase is misleading
and dangerous. Mankind is not going
to be Christianized in the mass. The
crude and unscriptural conception of
an carly day that whole nations might
DC baptized into belief at one time has
been outgrown- We know that this
world Will give allegiance to Jesus
Christ only as. one by one. individual
persons yield their lives to him in dis
cipleship.

Three of the first six men to iden-

other three, two of whom shared
their novel discipleship with their

This is the come and see" passage.
And Christianity is the come and

can submit to all provings. With
what trepidation Cook offered his doc
uments to the University of Copen-
hagen! But all the schools of learning
on earth have examined the proofs
of Christianity. The number of its
adherents and advocates among the
learned is steadily increasing. The
significance of the fact that the Con-
vention of the Student Volunteer
Movement in Rochester is the largest
of all gatherings representative of
North's Americas institutions of
higher learning should be pressed up
on the thought of young people.
Come" is a more attractive word
than GO" The latter is proper only
on the lips of authority. Christ the
friend said Come" before Christ the
leader said Co. The attitude of all
disciples should be that of invitation.
Life as well as lips should express it.

Thou must be true thyself,

Thy heart must overflow,
Ere thou anothers heart canst
reach;
II needs the overflow of heart,

1t may be of some service to man

There is power in the testimony

speak, and they yield to evidence. 1t
is not the great preachers who go
down to the rescue meetings that win
converts, but the Christians who arise,
