DISAGREEMENT
IN RATE CASES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 21.-
Sharp issue is taken by the interstate
commerce commission with the cof
merce court in the twenty-flrth annual
report of the commission transmitted
10 congress.
The issue is made principally upon
what popularity is known as the
"trans-continental rate cases" involv.
Ing freight rates from the Atlantic tc
Pacific coast terminals and to inter.
mediate points. Existing rates of the
uanscontlnental lines from eastern
points to inter-Rocky Mountain cities
are materially higher than to Pacific
coast terminals. In a decision inter
pretins the long and short haul pro.
vision of the present law the inter.
state commerce commission directed,
by order, that relation of rates
should be established between the
Pacific coast and points or origin in
five zones, into which the United
States was divided.
The effect OF the order was to re.
duce rates to inter.Rocky Mountain
cities and prevent the railroads from
exacting from shippers the Pacific
coast terminals TO the intermediate
points. The orders OF the commits.
sion on application of the transcontin.
entail carriers, we're enjoined by the
commerce court and the matter has
been carried on appeal othe United
States supreme court.
Waste Of Transportation.
In its report to congress TODAY the
commission declares that 1t Is 1.
waste Of transportation and therefore
and wrong to maintain
system OF tariffs which are express.
ly intended to develop the Pacific
coast cities and 10 arrest the deyelop.
ment OF the interior points.
The report declares that during the
last year G52 cases. embodyinr 5O7
formal decisions were dsposed Of
during the year SS1 formal com.
plants were filed. In addition there
were Instituted 43 proceedings of In.
designations and suspensions OF tar.

ACTIVE MOHAMNEDANISNI.
Islamism and Christianity Preparing
for Struggle for Supremacy.

Missionary zeal has always been a
distinguishing characteristic of the
Christian church, and Christians from
the time of the first disciples have
been more successful than the mem
bers of any other religious body in
spreading their faith in new lands.
But the other great religions of the
world nave not been SO passive in the
propagation of their doctrines as most
of us assume.
of activity in the world IF Moham-
mechanism, and the aggressive propa-
ganda Of Islam is leading to a mighty
struggle with Christianity in several
countries of the old world. This is
true in India and Africa and the fol-
lowers of Mohammed are showing spe-
cial zeal in pushing into the new field
of Japan. In Turkey the changed or
der OF things is said to be working for
the Strengthening of Islam as a politi-
cal power rather than for the expected
farreaching tolerance.
TRANSACTIONS of recent MosIem pub-
locations show that converts in goodly
numbers are claimed in Russia and
Germany and even in London and
Paris. They make the bold assertion
that Christianity is losing ground and
predict that the world will gradually
come under the dominion of Islam.
To Christians this seems a most fan
tastic dream, but it indicates the en-
thusiasm and confidence with which
Mohamm edanism is keeping Up the
fight of the centuries.
1t is interesting to note that one of
the signs of the coming triumph of
Islam. according to the authorities
quoted, is the growth of the temper
ance sentiment in the Christian world,
total abstinence being a strict COM
mand of the Koran. Another sign
and this is graver matte from the
Christian point of VIEWS the grow
ing looseness of the marriage tie and
the alarming prevalence Of divorce

TRAINING FOR THE MINISTRY.
Constant Demand for Clergymen to
Preach Gospel for Moderns.

Constant Demand for C1ergymen to
Preach Gospel for Moderns.
Nothing is more necessary to the
community, whatever the religious
opinion of its members may be. than
the steady and constant supply of men
of high education, of conservation, of
careful training, of inspiration and of
lives devoted in act and word to the
service Of the divine and of humanity.
Unless such men are in the community
it's great moral forces will cease to
have their expression, their direction,
their inspiration and their representa-
ton.
It is therefore to be regretted that,
in spite of the many movements, par
ticu1arly through our Young Mems
Christian association, which has been
active during the past decade as never
before, the supply of clergymen is not
keeping up with the growth of the
country but it is gratifying that this
supply is increasing.
1t is notable, however, that the share
of those who become clergymen with a
college education is decreasing. Down
to 1895 the schools which require col
lege training furnished about two
thirds of the total number of men fit
ting for the ministry. In 1910 they
furnished one-half or 1915 out of the
total number, which, including 312
women, was 1857. = Philadelphia

A life lived with God is peaceful
life. The old. old question, Where
can rest be found?'' is answered in the
presence of God. Peace, perfect peace,
is the peculiar possession of those who
have found pardon and protection with
the Lord. Just as all the pictures that
have ever been painted, and all the
poems, and all the written or spoken
descriptions, cannot make plain the
beauty of a sunset, so no human words
can reveal the sweet tranquility which
is the precious possession of those who
walk with the Lord.

ness of soul. They who choose the
good part can serve without fretting.
Whatever God provides for His own
is sure to prove green pastures.
Jesus was a faithful friend His
loyalty to those He loved never waver-
ed. They might reject, spurn, and be-
tray Him, but He was u friend who
loved at all times
We have many needs in the Chris
tan life, but the one need which in
cludes all others is the need of Christ.
Do We lack joy? 1t comes by having
more of Christ. Have we need of
power? 1t is only our need of Christ.
Is peace absent from our hearts? The
presence of Christ alone gives peace.
Do we want more love? We may have
it by having more of Him whose other
name is Love. All the problems of re-
hgion-positively all-rcsolve them
selves finally into this one supreme
problem: How to have more of Christ
in the believers heart. We have every
thing when we have Him.
Apart from Christ, apart from
power, joy, peace and completeness.
Before Christ can be anything else
to US He must first be the Lamb of
God, self-sacrifced for the sin of the
world.
All that we may become. as well as
all that we are, we owe to Christ.
When we stop to examine our life
we find that in it there is rot a single
virtue, not a single trait of strength.
not single achievement, not a single
hope or joy or satisfaction which may
not be directly traced to the favor and
help of Jesus Christ. We owe all to
Him. Was there ever before such
wonderful love?
The best testimony from a multi
tude of disciples may be elected in an
swer to the question, "Why do you
love Jesus ?" He is loved as Saviour,
as the giver of peace, as the COM
forter in sorrow, as the companion in
life's walk, as the strengthener for
life's hard tasks, as perfectly salts
factory example, as the revealed and
the revealer of God. Earth has not
sufficient words to portray the lowell
ness of Christ and heavens new
song" will resound His glories.

lures up to the proportions of good
sized fortune.
Lord and Lady Decies will go to
California on their honeymoon. They
will return to New York for brief
stay before sailing for England, where
Lady Decies plans a social career of
the greatest prominence.
Disparity of Ages Noted.
The great disparity in the ages of
Lord and Lady Decies added a note
of interest to their wedding. Lord De-
cies whose full name is John Graham
Hope de la Poer Beresford, Baron
Decies, of County Waterford, Ireland,
first met Miss Gould while he was ex-
hibiting horses at the New York show
several years ago. She was then in
short dresses, but it was seen at the
outset that he was greatly interested
in the child, as she then was.
Lord Decies, who is only two years
younger than his father-in-law, has
seen much service as soldier, having
been in the Boer campaign. Being
an engaging conversationalist, it was
suggested that his stories of his trav-
els and fighting may have won the
heart of Miss Vivien, for Lord Decies
was frequent guest of the Goulds at
their Georgian court and town resi-
dences Lord Decies, however, denied
the impeachment that he had played
Iago to Miss Gould's Desdemona.
Lord Decies himself thought it Moth
ing unusual that a man of A should
wish to marry girl of 18.
'Why, I'm not DID," he said to the
New York interviewers. "In England
a man of A, especially if he has lived
actively in the open air, as have done
is considered right in his prime. Diff
ferences in ages such as between Miss
Gould and me, are very common in
England"
In addition to being a soldier, Lord
Decies is one of the most prominent
sportsmen in England. He owns a
small racing stable and is known as a
cricket and football player, a hunter
and boxer.
The country seats over which Lady
Decies will be mistress are Kilcorney,
Ireland Seton Park, Slaugh, Eng
land, and Beresford Lodge, Kent.
