"Thy will, not mine, be done"; 1 to trust where we cannot understand, believing our Father lo he generous and wise and kind, and this even when our experiences hurt us; to be faith ful in every service, knowing that He 'heiireth ns"; to keep the heart with I nil diligence troni the sin and selfish- ' noss of the woild; to endeavor to ap- , predate the needs of the needy, and, j as far as possible, minister to them: I to love "even those we cannot like" , and to hate nothing hut sin; to keep i our tongue from evil ami our lips from I spiaking guile; lo lie brave where others are false; to he like Him who. though rich, for our sakes become poor this is the Ideal Christian life. The ideal Christian life, as Jesus himself has outlined it, is the every day lite of lil in who Is poor In spirit and mourns knowing that he shall be comforted; who Is meek and hungers and thirsts for t iuhieousness; who is both merciliil and pure of hi art; who Is so much a lover of peace as to make peace; and who. when men revile or persecute him, does not revile or per seciite in turn. Men who live such ideal Christian lives 11s this are the men who ate the sail of the earth. A Song In the Night. At death the Christian simply crosses ihe summit of the earthly life, and lives on a sunnier side, whilst our poor fcight stops witli the Intervening line hills. The Immediate lleveml may be an Intermediate state of glory, where saints await the r 'surrect ion and the general judgment; n lire that, never extends downward Into hidden plader and deep shadows and experi ence! of pain, but one that euggtbU USE IN EVERY WELL-REGULATED HOME raiher the pl.tln of Sharon, which, ' ivln; the trouhleil set In II I tut It, Is rontlniially ascendlni; until it t'titers the city hy the .luppH vale. It is a stale In which, whether It he Haven or Its siihurh, the rapacity to Know ntul love and enjoy Is ever In creasina. receiving nil ut any stage that it can hear; an Arcadia where the tendrl!!t of nevcreil affection nrt hi'ini; continually reknlt and heauti lied, and the Joy Is too juiro to die. Meanwhile, we tardier ones. toillnK ovi r this low ground, are enriched and comfort ed as wan Jesus In tho des ert hy the ministry of angels, who re port our progress on high, and de parted loved ones now and then may come near to tis especially In some treat etncrecncles of life as Moses and Klias came to the lovely mount, and pulling their strength lieneath our wialaiess help us op our way. Thin gohli u ladders are always i' re pidng low down, clinihing thence among and ahove the stars. Then let us rejoice while we wad for tr.emorni inc. and sing luave songs as the con stimmaiiou of our hope draws near. Kohort V. Sample. I). I. Faith's Aid to True Living. Kaith In Co.! hrinirs an element of dignity, of assurance, of inspiration into life that fills the soul with high and nohle aspirations. Douht. or even lack of faith, throws n damper over the heart's inspirations. Ages of douht have always heen the ages when life has hi en lncxpressihly saddened. K ochs of faith have always heen times when people have risen In the scale of living. No man lives on a low plain who has Christian faith faith In Cod, In Immortality. In the perma nency of the good. In the ultimate tri umph of right and justice and truth. Such faith determines true living. I'ut such faith Into a man's heart and you develop not only the business In the nian. hut the man in the business; not only the successful lawyer in the man. hut the noble, successful, help ful man In the lawyer; not the active, shrewd politician in the man, but the statesmanlike man In the politician; not tlie minister in the man, but the man of Cod in the minister; not the Cliilstian in the man, but tin; Christ man iu (lie Christian; and then oi have always the hudicst type of trut living on carih.

This is the object for which signal svsii'ins are erected in danger ous places to save l'fe and property And to rave life, life of I ho truest kind ami the highest order, to save; soul lite. Cod In im icy warns men Itai k of all Is love for men ami so lici inle for tie Ir wi II In lug. The warn lugs of Cod lire all the pleadings ol love, saying to poor. weak, sinnir.j' man.

Hence the Interposition ol all metal r' s'i aim.-, and the prcsen taiion of motivis to righteousness ol life. ho value of which to the indi vidiial. to focieiy and to the world cannot bo computed. Success Craze Does Good. All this revulsion against drinking has. of course, not been due to the de sire for sin-cess. Nor has the drink evil iu this country entirely been stumped out. Hut the change in the habits of men has been so marked and its cause so directly traceable tc this desire for succes that we, being an entirely practical nation, must look upon the success ra.e from more than one angle. Undoubtedly it has iiif.de man more mercenary. I'robaldy it has caused much of ihe graft that stirs the 11 untry nt present. Hut also It has taught men to take better (are of themselves, the physical anil men tal health, and the results of this will be reaped not only in this generation, lint in the generations that are to come, when the "success bee" will buzz Jusi as mightily. If not mightier, and drinking and other coarse habits ot the body will be even less followed than ihiy are now. Kxchange. Need of Sense of Sin. Mr. Cliidstone's sense of reverence was accompanied by a profound sense of sin. Speaking with a friend some time before he died, he said, with grave and deliberate, speech, "Ah! The k r.se of sin that, is the great want of modern life; It is wanting in our ser- tiion-, wanting everywhere! He him self had this sense most profoundly, mid he walked continually in fear of the 1 ord. If this fruitful conscious ness is to be recovered, It will have to be by the prior recovery of reverence for the Almighty. The man who would discover his own littleness must lift his eyes up unto the hills. The Necessity of Giving. (living is essential to the complete ness of Christian character. It Is the crowning grace because It Is the mnrl festation of the highest excellence. I. is the result of sympathy, unselfish' ness. of contact with Christ, of drink' Ing In his spirit. "Give, for It Is the Savior's precept." INVITES CONFUSION NEEDLESS INTERFERENCE WITH THE TARIFF RATES. To Open Up the Question of Revision Would Involve the Reconsideration of All the Schedules and Produce Uncertainty and Uneasiness. Our old friend the Pittsburg Gazette seems to he leaning strongly to the revisionist side of the tariff question. That a newspaper which has own so long engaged In the promulgation of sound Republican doctrines anil whose environment Is ho largely dependent niMin the activity of the Iron and steel Industries, should advocate tariff re vision at a time when the country Is enjoying unparalleled prosperity. Is a little surprising. Tariff revision neces sarily means tariff reduction, as there Is no thought or purpose on the part of any one of Increasing the duties. To open up the question of tariff revision at all would Involve -the reconsidera tion of the entire schedule, and would of course create a feeling of uncertain ty and uneasiness. If not genuine con sternation, arming the producing Inter ests of this country. Dull times would necessarily result. It Is Impossible lo point to an occasion in tlie history of this country when general business depression was not coincident with a lowering of the duties on imports. To be sure, we had the panic of '73. but that was clearly due to a departure from sane and sound business meth ods. It was the bursting of an over Inflated balloon. Il was the result or recklessness and perverted morals. Tariff revision nt this time? What for? With all lines of domestic Indus tries nourishing and an export trade such as this or tiny other country never before enjoyed, what Is the com plaint? The balance of trade In our favor was IPmi.imio.imio Inst year. Our workingmen and women are steadily employed at better wages than are paid anywhere else on earth. There Is an abundance of money. Knergy, Intelligence and economy are receiv ing tin- highest rewards ever known In the history of this planet. Is it wise to lose the substance In grasping at the shadow? We do not maintain (hat we have a perfect tnriff schedule. Nor will it ever be perfect. Hut. judged by re sults, it Is the best we ever had. It Is time enough lo begin doping a patient with nostrums when he complains of being ill. While supplying our domes lie trade, which is infinitely the best market on earth, ami developing all of our industries 10 the highest standard of perfection, we are making more progress in capturing loreign markets than any other nation. Confidence in the stability of conditions is the lend ing factor in business and Industrial prosperity. Why then inv ite confusion, uncertainty and inevitati'e calamity by advocating tariff revision? The country is all right. Let the tariff alone until H ere Is more obvious need of rev ision. I'linxsutaw ney (Ia.) Spirit. Tariff Smashing. Professional reformers may bewail our "drastic policy of exclusion" and continue to assault Iff system. Im' Hie and the Atrt rican hardly he deceived learned hy this dm the American tar American farmer niannf iciiii er can He has surely that tariff smash ing is tariff smashing when conducted under Democratic auspices or by Re publicans prising as the evangels of "f iorm."

If the business iniercsls of lhr coun try want reciprocity along protection lines they 0111 have it If they will only agree on 'some feasible plan something they never have been able to agree on before, if they want tariff revision, they can have It also mi the same united demand for it. hut it can he put down as certain that whatever Is done In the way of tariff revision or reciprocity will not be done along free trade lines. The reciprocity of lllalne. McKinley and Roosevelt Is all right. It Is based upon Ihe Republican pro tective policy. As President McKin- lev said at ISuffalo: "To take from our neighbors such of their products ns we can use with out harm to our Industries or labor; In other words, such of their products as are not produced by our own labor, and obtain in exchange markets for the class of merchandise, which we desire to sell, and which the countries In question renuire for their own use, differs materially from the reciprocity of lSa.VlSat;, which was merely free trade In articles of mutual production, articles which, when Imported, com pete with the home producer." BLIND GREED OF THE 3 11,9 A Hsrket This was President McKinley's Idea of reciprocity, and It Is the kind that every Republican can Indorse. It was Hlaine's policy, and If the C'hlcagc convention will adopt It as a basis fur Its reciprocity platform nobody can object. It Is Republican doctrine, pure and simple. In Ihe language of Presi dent Roosevelt at Minneapolis: "As a nation, we stand In the very forefront of the giant International Industrial competition of the day. We rannol afford by any freak of policy to for feit the position (o which we have thus triumphantly attained hy the present protective policy." Kewanee (111.) Star-Courier. CRY FOR FREE RAW MARKETS. In Demanding Them Manufacturer! Are on Dangerous Ground. The one definite and aggressive note sounded at the Chicago reciprocity convention was Ihe demand for free raw materials. How that carries us back to the Cleveland campaigns. The men who voire the demand are Just about twenty yrnrs behind Grover Cleveland. They are trying lo reverse Garfield's declaration and have the Re publicans build their camp fires on the ground which the Democrats had aban doned. If these men were old enough when Cleveland was a candidate they either voted for him or should have done so. It Is our opinion that if there Is a fraud in the category of tariff discus slon It Is this demand for free raw materials. The manufacturer grasps all the protect Ion he can get. which our thorough belief In protection does not prevent us from recognizing as being sometimes loo much, and still holding on to it demands Ihe futihet advantage of free raw materials. Ills cry Is free hides, free wool, free Iron ore, free coal, free everything except that which he produces. There Is nc such thing as raw mnteiial. Wool If the farmer's finished product as truly as cloth Is the manufacturer's or (he coat the tailor's. For the sake of (he general good the American people have been willing to place duties on manufactured products In full recog nltion of the facl that selfish men often take advantage of (hem and make unjust profits hy reason of Ihe tariff. When (he selfishness of Ihe direct beneficiaries of our tariff laws reaches (hat slate of sublimity which causes (hem to demand that other Interests he sacrificed for thclt benefit they are getting on dangerous ground. Wlien we have free raw materials tlie products manufactured from them will be free. Creston (la.) Advert iser. A Weakness in Reciprocity. The reciprocity advocates at. thr Chicago conference are much alarmed over the new German tariff and are demanding that a new reciprocity treaty be negotiated biiwrcn that country and the Cniicd States. Would such 11 treaty be wise? Senator Cullom in his address he fore the con fen nee questioned its wisdom becaese of the effect such a m aty would have upon our trade with Great Uriiain. And Senator Culiom Is right. Great Hritain is a much better ens tonier of ours than is Germany. Mote over Hiiiain admits our goods free ol duty. Hut we place the same tarifl upon liritish goods that we place upon German goods, while Germany, unlike Hritain. imposes duties upon our prod nets. How. then, would it be just for us to enter Into a special arrangement with Germany by which we would give her merchants concessions in our markets in return for concessions in her markets and at the same time deny these concessions to Hritain. which gives us freedom of trade? Even after Germany had made her concessions our goods would not be admitted upon as gootl terms as they are in Britain. Would there not be reason for Hritain lo make trouble? This is a serious objection to the reciprocity plan. There can he no more serious objection to any plan than that it will uot work. And that is the case with reciprocity. Milwau kee Journal (l)em.). Reciprocal Trade Results. A free trade paper published In New York, which supported the Cuban rec iprocity treaty, now advocates what it calls the only really reciprocal trade namely, the exchange of competing products. It derides "such a reciproc ity arrangement as that secured by the Hawaiian sugar growers, because It inured to tlie exclusive benefit of that Island." When foolish Republic ans were pushing for Cuban reciproc ity, which has produced the same re sults, this same Journal "sicked" them on. Those who followed Its advice have now the pleasure of considering the results which follow accepting sug gestions from opponents. San Fran cisco Chronicle.
