The Christian Church Con-
vention at Toronto

Altho' off to one side of the
strength of the Christian church,
the attendance was larger than
many expected to see it, about
5000 being enrolled. When we
recall that only 1900 registered
at Louisville last year, a city in
the heart of the strength of this
communion, it will be seen that
the attendance was gratifying.
Toronto is a model city of about
four hundred thousand. 1t has
wide and clean streets, anti-spit-
ting ordinances that are enforced
an anti-smoking ordinance that
prohibits smoking on the street
Car; order, system and courtesy
are everywhere. The policemen
are giants in stature, modern Co.
liaths, with a military bearing, al
ways attentive, and unfailingly po-
lite All those who wore the con-
vention button were carried free
on the street cars. There was no
disposition this year to make fun
of the badge, or to stow it away
in the receSSeS of ones pocket.
Every time a street Car conductor
looked at it, you were five cents
to the good. The convention met
with some fear as to the out come
of the delegate" convention,
new order of things, the merits
of which have been discussed in
in our church papers for several
years past. 1t is a very simple
and common sense method of set
Ting the church's business and
outlining plans for future work, as
simple as the meeting of any off
cial board in the congregation.
But the opposition saw dangers
ahead, ecclesiasticism, tyranny, a
return to the dark ages, and all
manner of ills; and with a persist
ence worthy of a better cause
one of the church papers famed
the discomfort until it was almost
at white heat. An appeal to the
fanatic is never made in vain, so
we had to reckon with those who
believed that the end of the world
would come if the church organ
lied on the basis of a delegate
convention. To make a long sto-
~ short, the convention was actu-
ally dull at the opening session
when this issue was to be discuss
ed. The opposition was not on
hand. But after a motion to
adopt the committees report had
been carried almost unanimously,
well meaning brother offered a
series of resolutions in the hope
of allaying the fears of the oppo-
sition which balled' the conven-
ton up considerably, and was fin
ally referred to a committee of
five who made their report on the
following afternoon. Then the
fire works exploded, and the dull
ness of Tuesday became the dyna-
mite of Wednesday. Speeches
inflammatory, incendiary, incom-
prehensible, and explanatory were
the order of the day. Finally, the
report of the committee, consid-
erably toned down from the orig
inal, was adopted.
The opposition was not wholly
satisfied, and called a meeting
for the next day which will go
down in our records as the
trump" parliament. 1t began in

THE DIRECT RESULT

One of the direct results of brib-
cry in elections is the best illus
trated by recent acts of certain
county officials in having their
salaries raised. One of the chief
officials of the county, the County
Judge whose duty it is to guard
and protect the finances of the
people, has voted to himself a
raise in salary of $3.50 per year,
amounting during the term to
$1,000. Whether this will entirely
repay him for the money expend-
ed in the election, we know not,
nor is it in the least material.
He has by his own act voted into
his own pocket and out of the
pockets of the people $1,000. 1t
can not be denied that one of the
incentives to doing this was the
expenses of the recent campaign.
His action is clearly illegal.
He is the presiding officer of the
Fiscal Court, and no member of
the court can vote on question
in which he has a material inter
est. The law prohibits it. Sec.
1874 of the Statute reads as fol
lows:
mo member of the Fiscal
Court shall be interested, directly
or indirectly, or be concerned in
any contract for work to be done
or material to be furnished for the
county, or any district thereof,
nor purchase or be interested in
any claim against the county or
State. Any member of the Fiscal
Court who shall violate the pro-
visions of this section shall, upon
conviction, be fined not less than
$500 nor more than $1,000 for
each offense."
The contract for the payment
of salary is a contract which
cannot be changed after the cleo
ton, and is certainly a contract
for work to be done for the eoun-
ty. The vote of the Fiscal Court
was a tie vote, and the presiding
Judge, who is a candidate for
reelection without opposition,
gave the deciding vote in his
own favor.
The raise in the salary was
without any reason whatever.
The duties to be performed by
the County Judge are less bur-
densome than ever before in the
history of the county. Besides
this, the Fiscal Court, without
warrant or shadow of law au-
thorizing them so to do, have
provided the county judges office
with a very efficient stenograI
pher at a salary of $3.50 per year.
Laws have no efficacy so long
as they whom the people elect
to enforce them, violate them
with impunity.

1t was a feeble attempt to meas
ure the strength of the opposition.
But these things were mere in
cidents in the convention proper.
The devotional spirit was better
than it has ever been; the adj
dresses were of such merit that
no one of them stands out con-
spicuously--they were master
pieces of eloquence and learning.
The reports of the missionary
and benevolent boards showed
large gains over the preceding
year. A movement was launch
ed to raise two million dollars
this year for the Men and Mis-
sion movement. Robert A.
Long of Kansas City, and ma
tive of Shelby County, was on
hand to give of his millions, and
to encourage others to do like
wise. Hon. ]. A. Macdonald,
editor of the Toronto Globe,
once a minister, delivered the
greatest address on the subject
of InternationaliSm" that it has
been our privilege to hear. He
is an orator, a historian, a states
man, a poet a prophet, all in
one. His fervor makes us think
of one of the Old Testament
prophets. He is one of the
greatest men in Canada.
The convention will meet in
Atlanta, Ga. next October.
Canada and the city of Toron-
to were genuine revelations to
our American people. | have
spent a good part of my years,
in the ministry telling inquirers
that Canada was not a region of
perpetual snow and ice; it is a
country of wonderful cities and
towns, of great farming interests,
of unparalleled prosperity; a coun-
try into which are pouring year
after year thousands of our own
citizens, and thousands from a.
cross the seas. During October
this year, the weather was as
pleasant as one could wish; over
coats were not needed. The sun
shone brilliantly every day with
the exception of one, when we
had a DRILLING rain. Michigan
has as severe wea Their, we think,
as the province of Ontario, and
we have lived in both. When
one gets far to the north in
Canada, he never sees any peek
d-boo-waists; it is cool there in
summer, and somewhat chilly in
winter. The mosquito pest is
not known, and that is a COM
pensation for being frost bitten.
But | started to say that most
people know as little about the
geography of Canada, and the
United States for that matter,
as they know about music. |
think how little | know of Pata-
gonia, and there are thousands
of well informed people who
think of Canada as think of
that unacceptable land which
my school boy imagination has
ever peopled with half clad saw
ages. Toronto was a city of
wonder to those who had cher
tished the hallucination of a land
of everlasting snow and ice.
There is no finer city on this
continent, unless it be Detroit,
and certainly none that upholds
law and order as does Toronto.

Mirror
Style Versus Beauty,

Handsome is as handsome does" is
q good old fashioned axiom, and beauty
Of soul is a fine thing; so is being good
hearted. Many plain looking woman
has found consolation in the two latter
attributes. In ancient Greece there
were two kinds Of women, the Venuses
and the Minervas. When Venus frown.
ed on one consolation was sought in
Minerva. One is always Minerva
from second choice. Venus sits back In
porch rocker, calm, cool and serene
In the knowledge that her hair won't
get out Of curl, her complexion won't
blow of and she doesn't have to talk
just a smile, and everybody basks in it.
Minerva works hard, her hair is limp,
her nose is shiny, and she can't keep
cool because she engages in heated ar
guments. Venus marries the million
aire and rides in a chaise; Minerva
marries the professor and darns stock
tngs. What a giddy world it would be
II women were all Venuses, for ii is IN
doubtedly the Minervas who are the
balance wheel Of society.
In modern days the next best thing
to being a Venus, If one cannot be
Minerva, is to be stylish.
What is this seemingly indeflnable
thing called style? What is it that diff
ferentiates one woman from another?
Why is 1t that one woman will be styl-
ish and the other dowdy, though gown
ed In the same manner? Why will a
pretty woman often pale into insignifi-
canoe beside her palmer sister? One of
the first things when the desire is born
to be stylish or smart looking, as the
English say, Is to feel stylish. This is
easier than to feel beautiful, as Is &C.
casionally advocated. The feeling that
one has style is bracing Unconsciously
the body straightens, the head goes up
and the step becomes smarter and
brisker.
Another point to consider in this
achievement Is the polse Of the body.
She who sinks along and shuffies her
feet will never attain the desired end.
II style be her desire. Much has been
accomplished when once you have
thrown your shoulders back, your head |
up and acquired a smart step, for the |
proper carriage and walk are the foun-
dalton Of style.
