DEMACOCUES AND TYRANTs.

"A dangerous ambition more often turks behind
the specious mask Of zeal for the rights of the
pie than under the forbidding appearance of zeal
e for The ffmness and efficiency of government.
History will teach that the former has been
found a much more certain road to the Introduction
of despotism than the latter. and that OF those men
who overturned the liberties of republics. the
greatest number have begun their career by paying
an obsequious court to the people; commencing
dernagogues and ending tyrants"
1t would be well for the American people to pause
and give consideration to the great truth contained
in the above quotation. Great problems not
solved by clamorous demagogues. They are not
solved by men who pose as the only ones who can
save the people from themselves.
Right now, while the people are thoroughly
aroused over the revelations of corruption in high
place. is the psychological moment for those VINO
"wear the specious mask of zeal for the rights
of the people" to mount the rostrum and demand
that they be given opportunity to manage public
affairs. But it is of much vital concern to the
people that they be not stampeded from following
legal and orderly course. 1t is of more concern
to the people that they do not permit themselves to
be nisled, nor permit the demagogues to leadinto
'untred paths.
Seldom has it happened In the history Of the
republic that there was greater need for the people
to keep cool. To consider thoughtfuly. To move
cautiously. Not only is it imperative that justice be
done. 1t is equally imperative that injustice be not
done.
Now is a good time for the people to hold fast
to the ancient mornings In this way alone they
save themselves from being cast loose by rrepsons
# It would be well for all Of us to pause and read
and reread the above warning from one of the men
foremost in building the foundations of this republic

A PRAYER.

God, for the gladness of this day,
Grateful l come to Thee;
Singing Thy praise along the way
For comforts given me.
For health and strength, for friend
ships dear.
For gifts from Plenty's horn.
thank Thee while I'm drawing near
This holy Lords day morn
God, for Thy tender, watchful care
I lift my voice in praise;
For burdens that Thou helped me bear
Ny thanks to Thee ! raise.
On bended knee I greet the dawn
OF Thy most holy day;
Thy helping arm I lean upon
Along the rough highway.
Teach me. dear God. Thy ways to
keep,
Guide me in paths Alright,
IN desert place, through tempets
deep,
My hand in Thine hold tight.
Grant. Father, purity of heart.
And courage for the fray.
Give me the gift Of cheer a part
To smile my doubts away.
Be Thou near TO my side.
Ger those 1 love Thy watch care
keep.
Their friend whateer betide.
And may I waken calm and strong
To daily burdens hear:
To walk with Thee. Thy ways along
Hear God. my humble prayer.
Z II ever there WAS a time when men
should hold fast to faith, when men
should take strength of courage to
fight for the right. that time is right
now. There Is call for men of
Gideon to light the candles Of their
faith anew and go forth in full conf
dence once more to smite the SEEM
ingly overwhelming forces Of wrong
and Injustice.
What the religious world needs to-
day is fewer men to apologize for the
seeming failure of the church. and
more men to arise and give reason
for the faith that Is within them. It
needs more Calvins and .Cartrights
and Wesleys and Campbells In the
pulpits. and fewer lecturers and
sermonette makers.
Men in all walks of life, noting the
rising tide Of corruption, are coming
to realize that finite laws and man
made rules are impotent to stem the
tide. and that they must look to power
not within themselves, but infinitely
above them.
In short. the greatest need of the
world today Is to get back to God.
With due apologies to the Ad-Sell
league. we arise 10 take violent ex-
ceptions to the language used in its
announcement of J. Adam Bede's ap-
pearance at the meeting Monday
night. The announcement says He
arose step by step from an obscure
country editor to the national con-
gress." We would have the genial
and enterprising members Of the Ad-
Sell league TO understand that there
Is no higher position than that OF a
country editor. Men do not rise from
that position to congress-they go
the other way. Otherwise all that
