Multitude Rebuked.

I. A Caution, v. &c. On another oc.
casion, John 6:26, Jesus rebuked the
multitude which followed him. This
multitude who pressed about him did
not realize what was involved in a
true following. They we're influenced
by the psychology of the crowd, and
did not count the cost. Jesus does not
mean that our discipleship will lessen
our love for our kin (Eph. 5:26, 1881;
6:1-O, but as compared with our love
for him II is aversion. See Matt.
10:37; Phil. 3:7, 8; Ps. 1925. &c. Aver
sion is to turn aside, and the Master
! told us that those who shall turn aside
thus shall have an abundant reward,
see Mark 10:2S-30. Jesus Christ must
be supreme in a Christians affections.
He who freely gave his own self John
3:16, Phil. 2:S) has a right to demand
men have approached nearest to such
conservation he has exalted them.
| The Cross means the shame, sorrow,
| pain and death OF self and all that lies
in the pathway OF loyalty and devo'
ton to him. II Tim. 1912, Acts 1922
Our cross is that particular thing
which crosses the path into which God
is calling us. To avoid 1t that we may
escape the shame is to be disloyal to
him, therefore he cannot be
my disciple" This frequently costs
much. but has an abundant reward
John 1915.
II. A chaIIsnse, w. 1882. () The
instruction, v. 27. AS IL TO make this
caution more solemn, Jesus sets be
fore the multitude the manner OF his
approaching death and the condition
Of discipleship. He here lays down
the first declaration Of the severe
terms of discipleship, but explains
the meaning OF his words. There is a
new meaning OF this passage sug'
gested by the Revised Version of "
80. so likewise" is rendered, sc
! therefore" Our Lord does certainly
insist that those who build tower or
conduct war must count the cost; so
likewise, they who follow him. But

him must do so whatever the cost may
be. (2) The Illustrations. (a) The
builder OF a tower, Wv. 20. 80, and OBJ
The King at war, w. 81, 80. Too often
we present to men what is to be gained
by Christian discipleship. The gain
does outweigh the cost, but as wise
builders we must present the cost side
OF the transaction. The man who
builds the tower is master of his own
enterprise and the king need take coun
| sci but of himself. Our Lord as the
Master Builder and the great King can
| build his towers or conduct his cam
paigns only through workers and sol
diers upon whom he can depend abso

The Muse in CrinoIinc. "

The most splendid Of the minor poets" re-
viewer in the London "Nation" concludes his esti-
mate Of TennysOn How bitterly that ranking
would have been resented less than generation
ago Perhaps it is not wholly just to-day, for this
age with its totally changed point Of view, is no
more qualified to do full justice to Tennyson than
was the mid Victorian" period, whose sympathies
he so perfectly expressed Something like the
ton which brought Pope from his high place down
to the low ebb of his fame in the beginning of this
century IS taking place toward the md-VictOran
literary demgods. Witness the decline which the
word victorian" has undergone. few years ago
as applied to literature it was used complacently in
the same breath with Augustan or Eliabethan;
now, with the prefix mid" it is used with an i'm
plication of halfamuscd scorn The caption of the
review in the Nation "Thc Muse in Crinoline"
suggests the present attitude toward the middle Of
the nineteenth century. 1t was an age Of crnoline,
something remote from the Slit-Skrted epoch,
thing far off and gently amusing surviving only in
old fashion plates.
How odd in this feministic time seem the gentle
beings of whom Tcnnyson wrote:
Then her check was pale. and thinner than should
be for young,
And her eyes on all my motions with a mute OBJ
servance hung.
And ! said. My cousin Amy, speak, and speak the
truth to me-
Trust me- cousin. all the current Of my being sets
TO thee"
These lines says the reviewer, bring before our
minds "the gcntcel magazine Illustrations of other
DAYS. They conjurc up world of dear vapid faces,
where there is little life apart from sentiment and
rhetoric" And then with shrewd touch he re
marks that there is more in common between Tenny
son and Iytton than is generally realized.
II is only the usual fate that is ovcrtaking renny
sons regulations Each generation rcyises the lit
erary estimates Of It's predecessor Each has Il new
polnt Of view. and the more perfectly poet reflects
the sympathics Of his own day the more his fame
rs likely 10 diminish on the succeeding day. In an
other age when fine hcrceness has gone ont Of fcmi-
nisn. perhaps We shall be- able to appreciate ana
understand again the Cousin Amys whose eyes on
all our motions with mute observance hung.

The Danger to the Express Companies.

The stronger express companies still remaining in
the field can probably survive if the conditions
under which they operate are made no less faNor-
able than they are to-day. Their chief danger IS IN
the uneconomic character Of the competition which
they face. They have TO earn dividends. The parcel
post can be operated indefinitely with deficit L
can be operated with a deficit and call the deficit
n surplus. There is a nominal surplus now, though
upon a fair basis Of payment for the services rem
dered by the railroads in carrying parcels for the
there would be deficit. The government
can always juggle charges about to create the
appearance Of a profit. 1t can make the freight
rate payer pay for the carrying Of parcels IN the
parcel post as it now makes the senders of one
class of mail pay large part Of the expenses Of an
other class of mail
And while an appearance Of profit exists there
will be strong pressure upon Congress to extend the
parcel post to widen its zones lessen its charges
for It is an axiom of seekers after government
favors that the government should never make
profit, even bookkeeping profit upon any service
it undertakes 1t will be the steady demand that
the parcel post be made a benevolent institution
that the express companies will have to fear; this
and the double regulation Of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission and the state railroad commits

post is able 10 make and still show the kind of proht
it now shows.
In order that the express companies should have
fair chance the parcel post should be operated upon
a business basis. 1t should pay for the services 1t
requires of the railroads. not make the freight rate
payers pay for them 1t should have an honest Sys-
TEN of bookkeeping that will disclose the truth. The
government requires this Of public service corpora

how much attention is paid TO the fact

The difference is owing to the horror
