"Whom we preach, warming every
man, and teaching every man in all
wisdom that We may present every man
perfect in "Christ Jesus ?"
The speaker incidentally remarked in
his opening that for three years in the
Theological Seminary he had the pleas
ure when preceptor of fashioning the
Rev. TowEley as preacher, and as one
noted the rarely fine conversational
manner in which he unfolded his theme,
one had no difficulty in recognizing tn.

excellent pulpit style is a copy. One
wonders why more of our preachers do
not leave their strange pulpit Greek"

intonations and accents their Divine
Master employed.

for his pulpit eloquence and his charm

the People" splendid address COM
mending the young clergyman to his
people and reciting their duties to up
hold and cherish him. All enjoyed his
words as they also did his opening pray
er like many the Scribe has heard from
him, felicitous in phrase, opulent in
opposite Biblical language and enriched
with sound, instructive scriptural doc
trine. The Rev. Joel S. Gifllan, D. D..
gave the Prayer of Installation. "
The highly interesting exercises ended
with the benediction by the pastor the
congregation remaining standing while
the organist, Mrs. R. 8. Redgrave,
rendered beautiful "Organ Postlude,
Praise God the Father" by Gounod.
The new pastor, who has thus happily
been inducted into his clerical office in
The Forest Presby terian Church in this
town, is very talented young gentle
man, amply fortified with an abundant
theological and other learning; of very
agreeable personal manners, and will
no doubt, become, as pleasing and al
useful member of our community a

Mrs. Townley is a refined highly edu

ME Of France and Repara-
lions Conference Opens.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Congress took action on two import
ant and interesting matters last week.
One of these related to the national
defense. The senate, which had voted
for reduction of the strength of the
army to 10000 men, reconsidered its
vote and repassed the New resolution
directing the secretary of war to sus-
pend enlistments until a reduction to
It's, 900 men was accomplished. The
house promptly passed q similar reso-
luton almost unanimously, and the
measure went to h President. 1t
was expected, in view of the opposition
of the war department, that Mr.. Will
son would veto 1t, and that congress
would pass II over the veto.
This is supposed to be a measure of
which will save about forty
million dollars a year to the govern
ment. The senate was restrained from
being even more economical only by
representations from Secretary of War
Baker that the 10000 limit would
upset the departments plans for army
organization, and from General PERISH
ing that 100000 men was the bottom
limit of safety. OF course the
tors in this connection debated the
yellow peril" Phelan Of California
asserted the necessity for large garri-
sons in Pacific possessions vas greater
now than during the war, while Reed
and Williams ridiculed the danger
and said Japan never would dare to
attack the United States without the
assistance OF Great Britain.
1t is likely that the latter view is
that generally held in America, except
by the people of the Pacific coast, to
whom the japanese peril looms large.
It accords, also, with the expert opin-
ion of the German Admiral Scheer.
who says II would be almost impossi-
BILE for Japan to land an army on
American soil. Some people have
grown excited over the murder of an
American navy lieutenant by a Japa-
nese sentry In V~ladivostok. There Is
no doubt that this AFFAIR will be set
tied automatically, though the sharp
note from Washington. virtually ques-
tioning Japan's right in the Siberian
city. may result In an acrid exchange.
The arbitrary actions of the Japanese
authorities in vladivostok, which they
hold under military rule. have caused
a good deal OF irritation-but the gov
eminent In Tokyo is too smooth to
permit them to cad TO hostilitles with
the United Stntes.
