Sunday of the year. There may be
Sundays when only one member of the
family appears at church, but when
that happens, and it happens seldom,
all five envelopes come with that men,
Der of the family.
"ln contrast to this it would be
easily possible to give the name of n
well-to-do family of six persons, the
husband and father of which is the
only person having envelopes. He gives
dollar n Sunday for the entire fam
lily to Save the bother of all of the
family having envelopes. The moral
effect of each member having his or
her own envelopes and giving regular
ly and systematically is lost sight
of, while the treasurer falls to won
dering how this man can feel that n
dollar week is fair and generous
Offering for six persons in family
in which the combined incomes must
be well on to one hundred dollars n
week."
Only an abundant sense of humor
can keep II church treasurer from be-
coming sour and cynical, we are told
by the writer, who says, in comparing
the giving habits of young people that
girls and women are more conscicn-
tious than boys and men, and give
more generously of their income"
The excuses offered by the "forget-
full" members when their memory is
refreshed also is cause of wonder
ment to this church treasurer. who
remarks:
He has been told that back envcl-
ops can not be filled because the own
ers of them have bought n piano 'on
payments and all other financial OBJ
legations must be held in allegiance
until the piano is paid for. He has
even been told by prospective bride
that her weekly Offering of ten cents
week would be discontinued i'm view
of the expense of her approaching
nuptials, but that she would seek to
get her husband-to-be to double his
subscription as soon as they were
married, and that would even things

A Church Treasurer's Con-
feSSinn.

A certain class of church goers
must sing with great joy tic line
Salvation is free for you and for
me-, says writer in The Congrega-
tionalist (Boston), and he adds that
they consider it so absolutely free as
feel "under no obligations to pay a
cent for their share of it. The state
ment proceeds from man who has
been church treasurer Tor twenty
one years and now for the first time
breaks his silence about some of his
discoveries in the realm OF giving.
reminding us that church treasurer
learns things no one else in the church
may learn, many of which are rather
amazing. For instance, he mentions
the Large number in some churches
who give nothing ut all toward their
support; and he contrasts the man
with an income of six hundred dol
lars month, who gives fifty cents on
Sunday, with the washerwor.an who
gives the same amount. Proportion
ately, we are informed, "the poor
give infinitely more than DO the we'll
to-do", while those who give least
usually have most to say about how
the church should be run. The writer
cites some amusing apologies Of mem
bers who have fallen behind in their
contributions and speaks of others
who when gently urged to pay their
subscriptions treated him rescn.fully
and accused him of I'M Christianlike
behavior. Nevertheless, he has n word
of appreciation for "the true hearted
men and women" who do their duty in
the support of their church, and ven
lures the hope that the other kind
may soon be educated up to giving"
On the other subject of the greater
generosity of the poor we read:
"The church treasurer who is maxi
ing these reflections has on his books
names of persons with incomes of but
ten ten and twelve dollars a week who
give from fifty cents to dollar of
this income every week to the various
offerings of the church. He could. if
need be, produce the names of sew
eral working girls receiving from five
to seven dollars week whose regular
weekly contributions to the church
alone are from forty to fifty cents,
and all of these girls live away from
home and pay room rent and board.
He could place beside these names a
long list of names of persons whose
wages exceed twenty-five dollars a
week who give from twenty-five to
forty cents a week. He could give
the name of widow, with four child
rem all under fifteen years of age,
and the needle of this poor woman is
the chief support of the family. Two
of the boys earn small sum before
and after school, but it is doubtful if
the combined income of the family ex-
ceeds twelve dollars, but this mother
and each of her four children have a
package of church contribution en-
velops and these envelopes are dropt
into the contribution baskets every

The trouble with the most of
us in our religion is, we are try
ing to sing a solo. Our expert
ence is not sang in solo, we are
singing in duet, and God is lead
ing in the soprano. 1t is our
business to follow and chord
with Him. Both voices must
be in the same key, or there will
be discord. What we need is a
tuning fork-ears to hear. We
need to catch the proper pitch,
then sing in chord and in time.

of the leaning towers at Pisa.
These high giants rear theirtops
towering, leaning; but they do
not fall. The line of perpendic-
ular remains within their base.
A true principle of physical sci
ence, this. Just as long as the
line of perpendicular remains
within thebase the towerstands,
let it fall without, and the tower
tumbles down. This may be
true in science, and it is in re-
ligion, except in one direction
ahead. Leaning to the side, eth
er side, or to the back, means to
fall, but no danger in leaning to-
ward the front-towards God.
If you fall it will be up hill and
into Il higher and holier life--in-
to God. Don't be afraid of the
line of perpendicular falling out

'neighbor" an Interpretation who'll,
new to those to whom he spoke, and
in the healing of helpless manned
and halt and blind who came to him
he set an example of sympathy and
service and helpfulness the influence
of which has been felt by the world
through all the changing centuries.
Christs teaching and example in
this regard must indeed have been
"a new doctrine" not only to the
curious multitudes, but even to his
disciples, because he taught hither-
to unknown conception of social
duty. While learning and art and
architecture had reached a lofty
stage of development when CT
came into the world, social and poll
teal corruption ran riot Public and
private morals were at the lowest
ebb. There were no benevolences
and beneficences as we know them.
One of the ablest and most learned
of modern writer's has said of that
day and time: THE slave was entire
ly unprotected. Sick or old slaves
we're cast out to perish from want.
Judea was under Roman rule, and
heartless to the poor was a well
known feature of ancient Roman So
ciety. There were neither hospitals
nor provisions for the poor, and even
the bestowal of the smallest aims on
the needy was discouraged"
When amid such conditions Christ
held up the Good Samaritan as a
worthy exemplar of the neighborly
spirit and taught that it was the duty
of every man to help his fellow man
who was sick or in need, he taught
that which was utterly new to those
who heard him, and prescribed for
humanity in all coming ages Chris
tan standard of social duty.
The opportunity to perform that
duty is presented to us this day and
time in manifold forms. The victims
of adversely, the hardworked and
poorly paid, those sick and in need
and in prison are with us always, and
there are but few who it arraigned be-
fore the bar of their own consciences
and charged with having fallen short
of their duty to their less fortunate
fellow man, could but plead guilty.
Christ spoke to all the ages and saw
with divine prescience what the flu
ture had in store, and the obligation
he enjoined rests upon US of this
generation with weight proportional
to our greater knowledge and ability
and we can not escape our duty to
'one of the least of these,"-Houston
Chronicle.

LONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE"

The twenty-fifth chapter of Mat
thew contains the parable of the ten
virgins and in the same chapter,
Christ draws in most striking man.
ner the picture of the time when the
Son of Man shall come in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him
then he shall sit upon the throne of
his glory"
He then points out how they
who have served and helped their
fellows shall receive their due reward
of happiness and they who have not
shall receive condemnation.
Exegetes and commentators and
learned interpreters of Scripture
may be able to find in the language
Christ used on that occasion some
abstruse and hidden meaning, and it
may be given a mataphorical inter
probation; but the laymen who sees
only the meaning which the plain
language seems meant to convey
when given its simple and ordinary
construction. takes it to mean that
men are to be judged by how they
have dealt with their fellow men and
have met their obligations of social
duty.
He says he who have fed the
hungry, and given the thirsty drink,
and extended hospitality to the
stranger. and clothed the naked. and
visited those sick and in prison, have
served him and shall be accordingly
rewarded.
To the end that his meaning may
not be misunderstood he states the
proposition in both a positive and 2
NEGATIVE form. and says that those
who have not helped the hungry
and the thirsty and the naked and
I the stranger and the sick have not
served him. and consequently have
merited and will received condemna
ton. He made his meaning still
palmer by saying that whosoevel
served zone of the least Of these
| had rendered the same service as il
it had been rendered him, and who
ever failed to serve "one of the least
of these had failed in his duty tc

PUBLIC MEN AND PUBLIC MEAS
URES

With the changes that are constant
ly transpiring all over the world it. is
natural that those who want to keep
abreast of the procession should
evolute with them.
New occasions" we are told,
teach new duties" so to be equal to
them one must put himself in shape
to meet them.
This does not necessarily mean
that one must be inconsistent for the
things of yesterday are never the
things of today.
A study of the lives of our public
men, in order to cope with new oc.
casions," will show that they have
shifted their positions.
This was true of Webster, Clay and
Calhoun, the three. great master
minds of the earlier days of the re
public.
Later along the same changes are
shown.
Horace Greeley was one of the
founders of the republican party, Blu;
he died as the leader of the democrat
ic party. He was its implacable foe
on many battle grounds, but in the
evolution of things he became its
standard bearer.
President Wilson does not stand to
day where he stood in the free silver
campaign Of 1896.
These decisive changes in ones pc
litical convictions is forcibly brought
to our attention by the almost unani
nous reelection CT Hon Thomas P
Gore to the United States senate from
Oklahoma by the democrats Of tina,
state.
it was charged that the senator
made a fierce arrangement of the dem
ocratic party only a few years before
when he was campaigning out in Tex
rs for the populsts Of the Lone star

and defeat his election.
Bus its republication did not hurt
him, because the issues of 1896 ar'
dead. new occasions have taught new
duties" and the distinguished sena
tor has seen a new light"
His indictment of the democratic
party was as follows:
"The trouble with the democratic
party is, it is a party of Statesmen
without craftsmanship, of patriots
without patriotism, of heroes withou
heroism, and that party's policy whel
entrusted with power always beget
farmers withou tfarms, laborers with
] out labor, and free men without free

! years? The fifty-second congress ha'
