What we want :s trac >c , earnest, concentratea e, siasu triumphant help. In the first place. in order to nee' the special demand of this ag?, ; ou need to be an unmistakable, agkress ive Christian. 0 half and half Cnri tians we do not want any more. The church of Jesus Christ will be better without them. They are the chie: obstacle to the church's advancement. I am speaking of another kind of Christian. All the acpliacces for your becoming an earnest Christian are a6 your hand, and there is a straight path for you into the broad daylignt of God's forgiveness. You may this moment be the bondmen of the world. and the next moment you may be princes of the Lord God Alaighty. R You rememoer what excitement t erAJ was in this country, years ago, wen the Prince of Wales cam? here-bow the people rushed out by hundreds of thousands to see him. Why? B:cause they expected that some day he would sit upon the throne of Ecgland. Bat what was all that honor compared with the honor to which God calis you-to be sons and daughters of the' Lord Almighty-yea. to be queens and kings unto God. "They hnall reign with him forever and forever." But you need to be aggressive Chris ians, and not like those persors whoi spend their lives in hugaing their Christian graces and wondtring why they do not make progre:s. How much robustness of health would a man have if he hid himself in a dark closet? A great deal. of the piety o today is too exciusive. It hides itself. It needs more fresh air, more outdoor exercise. Tnere are many Christians 'who are giving their entire life to sellf examination. T aey are feeling their pulses to see what is the condition of their spiritual health. How long would a man have robust physical health if he kept all the day feeling his pulse instead of going out into act ive, earnest every day work ? I was once amid the wonderful, be 'witching cactus growths of North Carolina. I never was more bs wiki ered with the beauty of flbwers, and yet when I would take up one of these cactuses and pull the leaves spart tne beauty was all gone. You couwc bard ly tell that it had ever beea a flbwer. And there are a great many Christiae people in this day jast p.uling apart their Christian experiences to see 'what there is in them, and there is nothing left in them. This style of self examination is a damage instead of an advantage to their Christian character. I remnem ber when I was a boy I used to have a small piece in the garden that I call ed my own, and I planted corn there, and every few days I would pull it up to see how fast it was growing. Now there are a great many Christian peo ple in this day whose self examinati on merely amounts to the pulling up the t which they only yesterdtay or the day before planted. Oh, my :rieLnds, if you want to have a stal wart Christian character plant it right out of doors in the great field of Christian usefulness, and though storms may come upon it, and though the hot sun of trial may try to consume it, it will thrive until it becomes a great tree, in which the fowls of heaven may have their habi tation. I have no patience with theser flowerpot Chrtstians. Th:-y keep the m selves under shelter, and all their Christian experience in a small, ex-, clusive circle, when they ough~t to plant it in the great garden of the Lord, so that the whole atmcsphere~ could be aromatic with their Christian usefulness. What we want in the church of God is more strength of piety. The century plant is wonder fully suggestive and wonderfully beautiful, but I never lock at it with out thinking of its parsiony. It lets' whole generations go tv b fore it pu ts forth one blossom. So I have really more admiration when I see the devy, tears in the blue eyes of the violets, for they come ever y spring. My Christian frienids, time is aoimng by ao rapidly that we cannot affosd to be idle. A recent statician says that hu mni life now has an averane of omi1> 32 years. From these 32 y ears - cu mus: subtract all the time y ou taae for smey and the taking of Ioc d and recr< a icL: that will leave you abou: 16 years From these 16 y ou must suou-e~e au the time that you are necessarity en gaged in the earning of a livelihcood That will leave y ou about eig at years.

How t:1e P:aarastes scutila: How Herod dierided: An~d this Je::us he~y plueked by the beard, and they spat in his face, and they called himt "tnis fellow." All the great enter nrises in and out of the church have at times been sc:&ffed at, and there have been agreai multitude who have thought that the chariot of Gon's trutti would fall to pieces if it occ got cut of the old rut. .i so there are those who have no patience wien ayitning line improvement in church arctitecture, or with anything lie good, heaity, arnest huren stin g, anid they deride any form of religious discassion whicU :::crs down wakiag amontg everyoas tmen rather tean tt at which makes an excursion on ruetori al stilts. Oh, that the church of God would wake up to an adaptability of work: We mrut admit the simple fact that the churcht s of Jesus Ch' ist in tntis day do not resoh the great nasses. There ate 5, 000 people in Edinburgh who never hear the gos oi. There are 1.0CO (U3 people in Lndon who never hear the enisoel. ihe great maj -rity of the inhabitants of this canical comie not under the 1t'u mediate ~ministratioLs of Christ's truth, attd ine church o' Gd, in this ?ay ins'esd of being a pacc full of liir.e ephsties, known and read of al! men,~is mnore like a dead letter postof "Bit," say the veople, "the world is going to be converted; you must be patient; the kingdomts of this world are to become the kin..doms of Christ." Never, unless the churcn of J-sus hrist puts on more speed and ener gy. Instead of the church convert ng the world, the world is convertirng the church. Here is a great fortress. Eow shall it ce takeli? An army :omes and sits around about it, curs cf the supplies and s ay s, "No w we will just wait until from exhaustion and stanvation tney will hare to give p." Weeks and months and perhvaps a year pass along and finally the fort ss surrenders through that star ation and exhaustion. But, my friends, the fortresses of sin are never to be taken in that way. If hey are taiken for God, it will be by storm; you will have to bring up the great siege guns of the uospel to tne very wall and wheel the flying artil erv into line, and when the armed in fanry of heaven shall confront tae attlements you w ill have to give the :uick cinmmand, "For ward: Charge) Ah, my friends, there is work for you to do and for mte to dn in order to this grand accomplishment.

The so-called resp-rity of the McKinley adminis ration is confined to the office-holders nd the large corporations.

T HE FARMER'S OPPORTUNI TY. -hey should Protec: Themselvas by Help ing Each oth- r. It has long been advocated by the L erist that all our industrial inter ss are closely allied, all depending or succis; on the prosperity of tte ther. There is no doubt about tIo orrectness of this theory, and it rould work (tu: beautifully if all rould practice the golden ruie. Toe eory is all right, but in practice the armer always comes out at the little nd of int, horn. As is well said in n re.iree' before the Farmers' Insti .e at Resnolds, Illinois, by Prof. .W. Heath, the farmer has too tay people to support, too many in .tutor s to maintain. '-Do we," goes n Mr. Heath, "realize that practically re support the whole social anc in ustrial fabric of our country ? Tte ast summer practically all the coal sites of the country were tied up for rvral months, but caused scarcely a ipple in the business world, except inong thcse directly connected with em. Tie up the farming interests or the same length of time and the -siness world would be paralyzed ad un old suffering would be the nsequaesces among ali classes of so iety and every business in tIe c our ry Brcther farmers, we are not uni d in our efforts to better our condi on. We practice a kind of 'dog eat og' policy. There are in every comn iunity men who are classed as the ading farmers who are well to do; rho combine buying and selling farm rducts with the producing of the sie. and as the trade phrase goes, a ing well bought is half sold.' 'nis policy when practiced cause: te buyer to become a 'bear' in the arket and of course it is to his iterest to have the product of other rmers as low in the market as ossible. There is too much selfihh e:s, too much ' wan t it all' disposition mong us. We should stand by each ter. Lit every farmer make every her farmer's interest his interest, as i fact i: is his interest. Other lines f organiz ed business do this, and un 1 we do it we will be at the mercv of very other organization, and hdu stively st eaking destroyed in detail. 'ne farmers of tr~e country should oabinie as one man and crush out of ristence all boards i trade, so called, there farm products are used as a asis for their ga iibling operations.

There is much, hard smmn sense in what Mr. Heath ts, and if the farmers would So it ttiey would e benet d,. provided they prevented the poli ciens from capturing the ne w orgami t~ia andi using it for their own bene t as was un foriunately the case with i Grange and the Alliarnce.

GA%fNC PC'ADM~ CO., NEW YORK. The Repub teson /sxrred. The Rep!ubiican miembe-s of the House of RepresertItive are very much sarced over the political situation, and mane (f ihem fear that their jobs are gene. Now that the smoke is clearcd awuy, they see that they were mi.de catspows of by their leaders to pull the gold-bug chestnuts out that the Ser ate had thrown in the fire. Only two Republicans, Linney and White, both of North Carolina, had the temerity to vote differently from the way that the bosses wanted them to vote. Tue Republicans as a party were rot crly whipped into line, but were made to "double quick" step in the liaste which was made to show the ccuatry that the house was entirely opposed to the senate regarding the fit arcial policy of this country. The only hope for mcst of these members now is for the Republican campaign committee to let the financial issue rest on the recent vote as far as the east is concerned, and to push for ward international bimetallism as the issue in their campaign book for the rest of the states. A dispatch from Washing ton to the Atlanta Journal says the Republicans are in conference mearly every day as to what is the best poli cy to pursue, and Platt's voice and a whisper from Lodge are the only sounds heard in favor of running the fall campaign on the gold standard as an issue iu spite of the fact that Mc Ktnty was elected on that issue, they are afraid to try it again. Even the venerable Senator Hoar, of Massachu setts, said in his speech:. "I amseri ous about it when I say that I am anxi ous to have the double standard estab lished and maintained by all man kind." But this is consistent with his telegram from Paris last year during he R epublicAn convention when he urged the conventon not to adopt the plank proposed by Piatt and Ldge. Bait the most signiacant ac tion yet as sho wing the tendency of the party is the refusal of Allison, Thurston and Burrows to vote for Lodge's amendment. But the people ate not going to allow themselves to be fooled again. They want the issues decided and they are going to decide it in thent xt t wo election for all time. Many of the Republ.can members romt the West see the hand writing on the wall, and are trying to avert the inpending danger by bringing ,in the tarrif cr sc me otter meaningless ssue, but the dodge will fail. They most stan~d or fall on the currency is sue. Tilman Talks. In the Ui. S.
