The debutantes have been very
quiet. taking their appointed places IN
their respective circles of society with
admirable dignity and poise after the
little flurries OF festivities which ac-
companied their several presentations.
Contrary to custom they have allied
themselves with no special charity,
rather espousing all lhilanthropic en-
terprises and most particularly the
Oriental ball of the Junior League,
WHICH promises a gala Tuesday for
the younger set.

A keen British observer. in trying to
discover the trend of public opinion in
Germany not long ago obtained and scrut-
inized carefully the sermons which were
being preached throughout the Teuton-
ic Empire. He explained his course
by saying. My worse misjudgments
have come from undertaking the religious
factor in national Life and taking It too
little into account"
This is a very significant observation.
and il the sermonic utterances in Ger
many are TO be taken as indices OF the
trend of public opinion there. how much
more are the pulpit deliverances in the
United States TO be taken into account
in measuring the life or our nation. The
people of our country attend their
churches far more generally than do the
people on the European Continent, where
the Continental Sabbath prevails. Hence
ca than in Germany.
Nevertheless. not a few public men
are making misjudgments OF popular
sentiment from undertaking the relig-
iuos factor in our national life and TAX
ing TO little account Of il This has
been true with the brewer and distiIlers
and saloon keepers during the last TWEEN
ty-dve years. They have thought they
could control political matters by dark
and devious ways in politics. and they
have held in contempt the utterances of
the pulpit and the deliverances of the
Churches. Now they must see that
they have been as foolish as they have
been wicked
Others may well take account of the
force of the Churches and the preachers
in the United States. The religious eie-
ment in human nature can not he extir
psted. and il lies more deeply imbedded
in the structure of human life than any
thing else. For time IL may appear
TO slumber. but. when il wakes. il acts
with renewed and increased vigor be
cause Of its apparent slumbering. And
christian truth commands itself to the
human conscience and stirs the religious
nature as does no other religious sys-
tenn or moral philosophy. Hence the pull
pit is bound TO have a vast influence in
shaping public opinion, and directing
public movements
Many people imagine that the daily
newspaper outranks the pulpit as an
agent in creating public opinion The

has no such power as the pulpit and
never can have. The people who wor-

in America has an unequalled opportu-
nifty for promoting the best sentiment
among the people and accomplishing the
noblsst and most enduring results
In view OF his unequslled opportunity

cred obi tons The deepest sense of
responsibility should rest upon him in

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

Within an inendible space of time the
ear of all the Russia's with his pomp
and power, has been dethroned and his
wife the czarina. and four beautiful
daughters and the only son. are fusi-
tfves to their Crimean estates and di-
vested of what everybody thought they
held safely in their grasp. History does
not record such a sudden downfall in
such brief space of time.
And the end is not yet. Any hour
may precipitate a tragedy that will be
the greatest tragedy on record. When
the mob rules the issue is more than
uncertain. OF all the royalties in
Europe or Asia he car of Russia SEEM
ed to be the most firmly fixed on his
ancestral throne. The absolute authori-
ty of the Romanoffs has been proverb
during the many centuries. And 1t is
gone like a watch in the night"
1t is known to be the richest of all
the empires-vastest territory and dom
mated by absolute command of its
czars. And the power slipped away and
out of sight like a thief in the night.
At this distance we cannot, except in
small degree, understand the whirligig
of fortune which rolled the car with
all his power down to helplessness and
obscurity.
