Mr. Aldrich indicated that here would be no iiinecessary de ay, but that the hill would be dis ussed in accordance with its impor ance. Tillman Against Delay. Mr. Tillman annotinned that as soon is possible he propose:l to digest the estimony and to sunit a formal re )ort on the bill. He said that within wo weeks he should move to make he rate bill the uinfinished business d to displace the st atehood bill if hat measure was not lisposed of be Fore that time. The transcendent niportance of the rate measure and :he wide interest it the subject rouglout the country, lie said. made desirable that the bill should be onsidered without delb. As sorn as he had concluded. Mr. ildrich was recognized and said: Aldrich Eplains Dissent. "A majority of 1ie Republican mebers of the comiiittee did not join in the favorabk report which 1as just been made by the Senator ron South Carolina, for the reason hat in their judgment an attempt hould have been nade by the con 2ittee to remedy by proper amend nents, some of the o2vious and ad uitted defects and omissions of the [louse bill, and that clear and ade auate provision shou d have be en nade for subjevting the orders of the ,ommission affecting rates to judicial eview. With these amendments, the minority members, with the possible xeeption of the Senator from Ohio, sho is opposed, as I understand, to ill government rate-making, were ready to give their support to the [louse bill." Mr. Culbertson said that, from the rcort made by the Senator from So'uth Carolina he noticed that cer tain members of the committee re-, served the right to offer amendmentls. "The Senator is not entirely coy rect in his statement,"' interrupted Mr. Tilimas. '"The resolution was adopted by the committee and all members have reserved rights con erning the oifering of amendments.'' Bill to Cut Representation.

The saviour has been otsh(-. and now continues t. .4hw -ihe r:-Aa ioi in wh'h His gospel stanti( c t e previous dispensation. asL. bein. ih.. ful tilment and collirm.,ation df tru- .tda ism and the r.'formation (f degen-rate Judaism." 33. "Hath been said." By the Jews when they received the law and in their interpretations of it. -Tor swear." To swear falsely; to perjure. -But shalt perform." We know fron Matt. 23:16-22 tlat the scribes and Pharisees declared oaths to be binding or not binding, according to the sup posed sanctity of th'e object sworn by. "Unto the Lord." The teaching was that only such oaths as were made "unto the Lord" or in the name of the Lord were sacred and needed to be kent. "Oaths." An oath is a solemn aftirmation or declaration. 34. "But I say." The emphasis here is on the "I." "Swear not at all." Profane and com mon swearing, with all light, irrever ent oaths, such as are not required by the civil magistrate. are intended in our Lord's prohibition. "Neither by heagen." None of the oaths which our LA-d adduces as specimens are Judi cial oaths. "God's throne." "Swear ing by heaven either has no meaning or derives its meaning from the fact that heaven is the residence, the court, the throne of God." 35. "The earth," etc. See Isa. 6O:1; Psa. 48:2. 36. "By thy head." A common form of oath in the ancient world. 37. "Yea -nay." Let your statements be in at cordance with facts; let your language be siinple, and let your answers be Yes or No. "Cometh of evil." All swear ing, genteel or otherwise, "comes of evil." It. On the law of retaliation (vs. 38 42.). 38. "Eye for an eye." As a legal remedy the law of retaliation Was prob ably, the best possible in a rude state of society. 39. "But I say." Christ In troduces a different method of dealing with an assailant. "Resist not evil." --Resist not him that is evil." - "Turn the other." It is the preparedness af ter one indignity. not to invite, but to submit meekly, to another, without re taliation, which this strong language Is meant to convey. 40. "Coat-cloak." The coat was the Inner garment.~the cloak was the outer and more costly one. 41. "Compel thee," etc. Officers and couriers In the service of the Roman Governmdent ti-aveling through the provinces had authority to impress any man or his beast Into service for the purpose of carrying them and their baggage on their journey. 42. 'Give -turn not thou awal." T11nis cannot mean that an industrious man is to give at the call of every idler, but it does mean that we are to be large-bearted. generous, ready to help others and grant favors. We are here exhorted to patience and forgiveness, 1. When we receive in our persons all sorts of in sults and affronts (V. 39). 2. When we are despoiled of our goods (v. 40). 3. When our bodies are forced to un dergo all kinds of toils, vexations and tormnts (v. 41). He that avenges him self must lose the mind of Christ and thus suffer an injury far greater than he can ever receive from man. III. On loving enemies (vs. 43-48). 43, "Love thy neighbor." The rabbis interpreted the command, "Thou shalt love' thy neigh r as thyself," In Lev. 19:18, as referrn g to Jews only. They therefore believed It to be right to hate the rest of mankind. 44. "But I say." Jesus opposed this narrow, wicked view of the case and "extended our neihborhood over all mpnkind." See Luke 10:25-37. "Love your enemies." (Rom. 5:5). It has been said that this one precept is a sufficient proof of the holiness of the gospel- on those who call down upon you God's curses. "The best commentary on these matchless counsels is the bright example of the One who gave them. See 1 Pet. 2:21 24: Rom. 12:20, 21; 1 Cor. 4:12; 1 Pet. 3:9." 45. "Mafy be the children," etc. To act as Christ commands here would be to act like Cod, who blesses those who curse Him and are His enemies by the gifts of sun and rain. This Is divine. "Sun to rise," etc. He imparts to all alike, but all do not receive alike. 4f. "What reward." If you haye only loved those who love you, you have only come up to the standard of common sinners. "Publicans." Tax' gatherers employed by the Romans and hated by the Jews. 47, "Brethren only." The promin ence of salutation in, the social life of the East gives a special vividness to this precept. To utter the formal, "Peace be with you." to follow that up with manifold compliments and wishes was to recognize those whom men sa ted as friends and brothers. But this the very heathen did ("heathen," rather than "publicans." being the true reading); and were the followers of Christ to be content with merely copy ing heathen customs? Christians must do to their enemies what the heathen did to their friends. "What do ye more than others." 1. Disciples have to do more than others. i1) They main tain the Christian life: (2) they extend the cause of Christ. 2.: They are able to do more than others. (1) They are in alliance with God; (2) they have more moral power. 3. More is expect ed of them than of others. (1) By Teir Saviour: (2) by the world: (3) by their own consciences. 48. 'JBa-perfect."

As long as the outgoings of our na ture are partly evil and partly good, we may be sure we are only partly what God would have us be, Suggestions. There has been only one Perfect Man, except as that Man has been "formed in" other men. Le no one be afraid that he may not speak well, but only that he may not live well. If you are cross, crabbled, critical. do not say "I was made so," Evil natures are made-to be changed. No man becomes a "good speaker" till he speaks for God. Speech is a bridge between souls. made sometimes of granite, sometimes of cobweb. A sentence is a ship. on which we may cross the ocean, or sink to the bottom. Words are either wings or weights. Our tongue may be well-trained horse, or a runaway; and the latter is as dangerous as the former is useful. Questions. Do I plan for pleasant speech as much as for helpful deeds? Am I seeking to perfect my charac ter? Am I ready to give an account of my words at the day of judgment? Why do you take part in prayer meetings? Let it not be to show off, or from mere sense of duty, or because others do it. The only fruitful pur pose is to help some one. Put into them your prayers. Aslk God to permit you to help some one by what you are going to say. Put into them your planning. Na good results are likely to come with out preparation.

The passage from the Philippian let ter which is used as the Scripture les son is 5yne of the greatest utterances of the apostle. It has been the inspir ation of numberless sermons, and of treatises not a few. Much attention is given to the doctrine of the "Ken osis"- Christ's giving up all of the glory and power which he laid aside when he became. a man. Great stress is laid on the 'infinite humility of our Lord. These things are of very great importance. But, after all, they are not at the heart of this Scripture. The chief thing is that Christ set up a new standard of life. Instead of choosing to rule, and to enjoy, and to be served, he became subject to others and chose to suffer, and made himself a 'servant Why? Not merely because all that was necessary to hi~s work. . Rather, because always and everywhere ser-v ice is a greater thing than possessions, or power, or pleasure, or ease. His life was not a humble one just ta show us how far G~od could stoop. It was humble because no other life - can be made Godlike. In it there was no needles pain, no humiliation in or: der to win sympathy. What Christ was, and did, and suffered, he could not have avoided, without losing his power to save. - This, we must all confess, is not the standard of men. It is scarcely ac cepted even by many Christians. We are very much under the spell of the heathen idea that getting is the su preme business of life. We are not quite willing to take Christ literally when he tells us that the only worthyj geting is a getting in order to give. He did not count even so great a dis tinction as equality with God a thing to be sought, but he gave every ener gy of his soul to the work of getting onto the same level with men. This is Christ's law. He spoke it by his life, with the high- eloquence of perfect deeds. He urged it on the disciples when he told them that they were to reverse the Gentile ideal, and to find their greatness in se'rving, not in getting. Have we learned the las son? We must get to give; we dare not get for the sake of getting, for that is the heathen way, and we are Christians. WASHING MADE EASY. Washing is the very hardest part of the house work. No woman should attempt to do it in the cid way. One of the best managers ih ever saw taught me her- way; she says it les sens the work at least one-half. It is thus: Sort the clothes the even ing before -they are to be washed. and put the white clothes in clear water to scakt. In the morning put the boiler on the stove and fill it half full of water which will usually take two bucket fulls. Put two- heaping tablespoonfuls of gold dust washing powder and two tablespoonnis of kerosene in a vessel, add half a gal lon of water and let it bail a few minutes. until it forms an emulsion. Pour this into the bciler, have the fine white clothes through a wringer and put them in the water. Let them boil 15 minutes. stirring occas sionally to allcw the suds to pene trate to all parts alike. Then lift them out of the tub put a little more emulsion into the boiler and boil the second lot of clothes. The first lot will need no more rubbing, but can he rinsed, starched and hung out to dry. Save some of the clean suds or pre pare more in the same way for the colored clothes, but of course, they g'ioud not be boiled. There will bc no disagreeable odor when dry. This energetic housewife had her clothes all washed and hung out to dry by ten or eleven o'clock then prepared her dinner. I locamd at her in amazeent. but she taught me many helpful me'.hods. -Jane, :n India'ua
