! There Is a grewfe-deal of talk nowadays
abont "property rights," and some of "it
Is needed. Every teacher of truth, how
ever, must speak clearly the Judgment
that weighed In the scale against the
rights of Bf,.the rights of propertv are
inconsiderable. Our dy sees clearly lis
worth of human life. Ls one of l.i pro
found papers, "vTaat I Belier and
Why" now naming ha the Independent
Dr. William Hayes Ward says, in
touching upon the .jpuzile of infinite
space and infinite time, "While I believe
there are iitrjumerabJe inhabited worlds,
yet if the earthwere the only one the
service to ns.onTlhis little world of l
the radiant heavens would not bu un
worthy, for I believe, that an infant's
lingle will is of more value than the
lum of all cosmic forces through all the
celestial ages, so much is mind supe
rior to matter."
j Caring for the Little Ones.
A new and larger and importp.nt In
terpretation of tJie teaching of Jesus is
being given in this generation. There
never was such an intense and general
;olicitude for the "little ones" of life.
This is the meaning of the new British
law that is changing ancient estates
from game preserves for the nobility
into small farms for the common folk.
The cry of "safety first," which in va
ried forms is beinc; written into legisla
tion and which holds human life above
dividends, is but an echo of this teach
ing of the Master. Child labor is being
driven from the earth even as was slav
ery, because the Master's mind concern
ing the 'little oaea" is becoming world
dominant. Tha prtarrpla is everywhere
being accepted, that emy business which
;is not good for all Its workers and for
all the people, is a bad bueiness, whether
it he a ootton mill or a gin mill.
; This distinctive Brtnciple of the Gos
pel is in our own time cominjr to hive
.a national application. It is i-pUniui-n
for America's concern for th" v.-ii.ne of
Mexioa. President Wilson, nt the fu-

After All and Aiter AIL
Men cannot sauaie accounts with God.
After his best has been done, he still
will not have earned heaven. At th
end of all his labors, the man with the
dearest vision is ready to pronounce
himself, as in this parable, "an unprofi
table servant." We are dependent upon
the mercy of God. We cannot work
our passage te heaven. The heather
try to lay up merit, but even they know
that their labor is vain. This passagi
has been phrased by Peleubets notee ai
"the duty of doing more than our duty.'
It is at once an szortation against spir
itual pride and self complacency anc
a reminder that the goal which we al!
seek is so far beyond men's power U
earn, that it is whollv the gift of tlx
grace of Ood The saintliest and most
serviceable lives are readiest at th
end to cry, "God be merorful to me s
sinner."

Four Commissioners Examine
Into it With View to
Greater Efficiency.
NEW IDEA IN RELIGION
(By RELIGIOUS RAMBLER.)
One more "first" thing in American
church life is ths survey of its own or
ganization and activity, whisk naa been
made by the Reformed church in ths
United States and presented to the gen
eral synod now la session In Lancaster.
This very modern document is a fitting
celebration of the golden jubilee of the
Reformed ohurch.
While, so far as I ass aware, no other
denomination has systenunatiaaUy made
a comprehensive study of its cwn life
rnd work, the plan is not wh illy original,
being borrowed from the World's Mis
sionary Conference at Edinburgh in
1910. Four commissions hare been at
work since last August seeking exact
knowledge concerning the deaomination
end putting ail of its affairs goneral
end particular under review. The re
sult is a body of information that will
result in more changes of method and
more incidental reforms than could have
been effected by years ef oratory.
The German Reformed ohurch, ss it Is
rommonlv called, is made up of the sort
:f hard-hesded people to whom an in
i estimation of faots would prrticularly
ippeal. Tl.e plan originated with their
Ijiymen's Missionary Movement. Oiig
nally it was meant as a stjdy of t!i
fhurch's foreign missionary rteporisibil-
y-
The 32 men who made up the four
.orc.missions comprise both lsyn.cn and
ninisters They divided their work into
:he four departments: The World Task
f Denomination; tne Membership and
TistriHition of the Denomination ; t.'ie
-listory. Organization and Administrn
;ion of the Denominational 'Vork and,
ourth. the Material Resources of the
nomination with p'ans lor liiian-insr
;he Church Work.
The scientific spirit in r?lig'us sd
ministration could scarcely jo farther
tlian this new plan, now quit? generally
tdopted among t!ir donomi lations. of
issiimini? a definite proport.on of the
.vorld's non-Christian population, for
which the denomination agrees to be
responsible, providing all the agencies
ihat mey be necessaiy for its evaugeliza
:ion. The firt of these four commissions
'iae the whole world under review and
t passes on the judgment that the Ger
ti'Rn Heformed church is responsible for
lO.nonjIKK) heathen. Their particular
share are 3.500.000 Japanese, 3,500.000
Chinese nnd 3.010.0(10 Mohammedans.
The church is already con luctln? mis
sions in .lamn. spending $90,000 an
nually. Its Chinese work should be ex
tended, the commission finds to an ex
penditure of MOO.OOP annually.
No work is at present to Iw conducted
in t'lie ilohannnedan world by this
church, ami the experts recommend that
it as-iume responsibility for a part of

the denomination. In 273 cases the con
