on it. The social life of the
church and the community is
exalted and benefited by peo-
pie acting together in doing
good. The Importance Of ser
vice by giving would never be
realized by many people if they
did not catch the enthusiasm
for it by participating in soc;a!
gatherings and entertainments.
1t is a safe rule, however, to
refuse TO be led into doing for
! the sake Of benevolence what
one would be rather ashamed
! to Go for himself or his friend.
Some queer things are record
ed as rather creditable because
they raised money for charity
which would make persons look
foolish if they were caught
doing them to make money for
themselves. The London Sun
day School Chronicle, for eX-
ample, notes that in a hotel
dining room q number of paper
balls were seen adhering to the
ceiling. The explanation was
that customers were invited to
attach q coin or two to a cork
with a tack in it, and wrap the
whole III paper and make the
packet stick to the ceiling. 1t
was thought to be quite a sue
cess when about forty-fi five dol
lars We're gathered from these
paper wads for a local hospital.
Another instance is told of
two Oxford students who
dressed themselves in rags at
the end of their college term
in the earlier part Of this sum-
mer and tramped 30 London as
5eggars. On the road they told
pltlful stories of their hunger
and suffering and collected
generous gifts. At one place,
for instance, they called where
a house party was being held
and "drew on their magma
ton" for such a pathetic ac-
count OF distress that when the
hat was passed round they got
a substantial sum. Being
members of a London Free
Church, they turned over the
proceeds Of their trip to the for
eign missionary society.
Baazars and fairs and con.
certs and suppers and socials
may be proper adjuncts of the
campaign of the Christian
church to save mankind for the
future and to relieve it's present
distress. But in order to be
really serviceable they must
not only be legally honest, but
honorable in the sight of all
men.-The Congregationalist.

and fidelity? Under the circumstan.
ces the inference that there is pur.
pose to rebuke the Governor is sc
natural that those who prepared the
letters sent out from Judge Aliens
headquarters in his behalf, could
not overlook it; but in writing to the
known friends of the administration
state they are not fighting the Gov
ernor or his administration, although
they are asking that the Governor
most important appointment, one of
the most important acts of his adj
ministration, be repudiated.
Judge Manning's friends are not
asking his nomination merely be-
cause the Governor appointed him.
He is his opponents equal in every
respect-in learning, in ability. in
experience, in temperament in Dem
ocracy. in character. His ambition
for the Supreme Bench is as lauda-
BILE and as well founded as his oppo.
nent's. He was called from an active
practice to wear judicial honors
while his opponent was enjoying
them. He was honored without hurt
ing his opponent. His opponent is
seeking an honor which will neces-
sarily hurt him, and also hurt the adj
ministration. and this. too, without
helping the public, and without help
ing the Democratic party. We submit
to thoughtful men that Judge Al
lens honorable ambition to go on
the Supreme Bench is not sufficient
to Justify the humiliation of Judge
Manning, or the rebuke to the Gov
ernor, which Judge Manning's de-
feat would necessarily involve. Many
men have the ability, the character,
and the ambition to adorn the Su-
preme Bench, but heretofore they
have not sought it under circum-
stances that now exist. so far as we
can recall. We are not questioning
the right Of any one at any time to
seek any honor at the hands of the
people, but we ask just consideration
of tue whole situation before humil-
iating one eminent and worthy Dem
ocrat, whose friends are seeking for
him an endorsement of his faithful
and able judicial service, in order to
honor another.

BARGAINS IN bTEEN0LEKCE.
Som? Questionable Methods Are Used
In The Name Of Charity.

NJ any people lOFe LnclT ne1GI-
borS some, but not as they love
| themselves. To bring their af
fectlons up to that point they
need some stimulus by way OF
reward to selfshness. If they
know a poor cripple and like
him, they may give him a dol
lar to get a pair of crutches. If
they only know Of cripples by
hearsay, they cannot be per
suaded to give the dollar to the
hospital that cares for them
unless an oyster supper or an
entertainment is held out as q
| premium for the benevOlence.
Hence when the minister
breaches on the text, "Give
and it shall be given unto you,'
with practical application he
adds in the church calendar an
appendix to his sermon, that
besides the promised divine re-
ward to givers there will be ice
cream or a concert or a chance
to select d penWiper or dolly
Or some other article that will
be always in the way to remind
the donor of his generosity.
The season is approaching
when these means to stimulate
benevolence must be applied.
Already the summer boarder
begins to regard suspiciously
the crOtchet and knitting
needles welded by bejeweled
hands on hotel piazzas. They
seem to him to be weaving
snares to catch the loose coins
that may remain when he goes
back to his work after his search
for change and rest, that is,
unless he shall discover that

for their benevolence when the
committee on the fair comes
around to ask for their gifts,
with a promise thrown in to
direct trade their way, if they
will also pay cash for an adver-
tisement in the church calen-
lar. Books are already being
studied which propose ways
warranted to draw money from
religious contributors without
dangerously trasgressing laws
against gambling or social
standards Of decency. Lists of
singers, readers, whistlers,
sleight of hand performers and
those skilled in hypnotizing are
already made for religious and
charitable uses, and soon the
"ehurch work" of the autumn
will be fully under way.
We do not mean to intimate
that all methods of stimulating
benevolence other than the
direct offer of opportunity to
help ones neighbor in need are
unworthy. There will be bar
gains in benevolence as long as
there are bargain counters Of
any sort. Besides, the work of
helping others in which many
share cultivates and enlightens
the benevolent spirit, and in
terprets the parable of the Good
samaritan better than a sermon

ELEVATOR IN STATION.
Representative SInyden Introduces
n BiH for It's INSTALLATION.

After considerable correspondence be-
tween Representative Slayden, Of Texas,
Chairman Smith. Of the House District
Committee, and President MCCrea, of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad, relative to the in
stallat!on Of an elevator IN the new
Union Station for the use Of the sick

duced a bin compelling the Washington
Terminal Company 10 place such an ele-
vator in position.
Some time ago Mr.. Slayden's attention
was called 10 the fact that aged and in
valid persons travelling 10 and from the
South were compelled TO climb a long
flight OF stairs 20 reach the main floor of
the station. In a debate on the floor
Of the House he suggested the necessity
for an elevator, and later he wrote 10
Chairman Smith. The latter asked Pres
ident McCrea for a statement on the sub
iect. and was informed that there were
elevators which could be used II anybody
desired 10 take advantage Of them. This
did not convince Mr. Slayden. who insists
that a passenger elevator should be in
stalled in plain sight. and the bill intro
duced yesterday was the result.
