The attorney has been guilty of pressing a case of bri bery against the senator with such vig- ras to procure on indictment.

Its members huve no annual accounting. But this firm Is making money, lis methods ure unique In their absolute own simplicity. There Is absolutely noj chance of complications, no dangers of any defalcation of one partner. - The method used by the firm is this: Each member has a safe In the place I of business and at the close of business each day the members open the cash register diawer and divide equally itsj contents and the 'contents means a lot, of moneys When a bill conies In f in payment each member opens his, safe or takes out of his pocket one half the bill and thus payment is made. This system is an actual daily use. One day recently a man presented a bill and was told by one partner that the hill could not be paid then. The man months ago. A discharged employe was asked why he left. He candidly replied: "The boss said I had got fo i couldn't tell Mr. 's money from my FOREST RESERVE BILL PLEASES Kdltor of The Cltlxen: History ma..- I... it,.. ,-u.ll,.l thn... i t ........I.. called i evolutions, in which the entire aspect of a fiutlon Is changed und Its nature altered for better or for worse.

The introduction nf i 'hrisii.inlly by the Aiming. r the So i of (iod. our divine It-dccmct. tabllshed the great principle of tlu equality of souls In the eyes of God. ami overthrew the usin palloas of haughty men, who dared placed Ihci' little brief authority between teres and held and confirmed the doc Ulne "once delivered to the calms,"' that a'l power Is directly sent from iod. and culled upon all men to "love the broth ethooil, fear God, and honor the King," or Supreme authority, of whatever country the individual might dwell. The great moral movements of time have ever been unlike the mere political clianges of the administration of hu man affairs for country "r for individ ual profits or advancement. The for mer require long perloils of time us do all the great changes In the realm o nuture. , And as Uod is the great Creator and Heud of all creatures so c'.d He ordain and establish unity lu all classes of hu man creatures. But this unity w:is broken by the per verse lebelllon of man. And so it came that the Almighty put in operation a train of causes to restore this huma i unity, without ' destroying the free Tgency and free-action of man. These, two forces are. so adjusted that the re- sultant will eventually become the-pri-l ma! divine uhily. From time to timel human efforts.

' even mythology teaches a lesson to' the inilateil philosophers of our days. Thla Zeus, this life-giving principle, Is the father of Clio, the Muse of history, whose mother Is Mue-Mosque or Mem o;y. Thus according to the nations of antiquity,, history combines a heavenly with an earthly nature. She Is the daughter of God and man.

The partner to ago when Mr, Cutler was present. The whom he was speaking said. "Mr. appropriation Ivan made by the last leg- is sick and can't pay his half.' That this system Is ptuctlcal is shown by the fact that the memliers of the firm have been in business together for establishment of the leceiver many years and both have become wealthy. Something of a similar method In dis bursements prevails In the Superior court clerk's olTicc.

And since then, the great American Tract society confesses the same Chrls Uan doctrine by tl"-' wiltiugs I; pub lishes and distributes throughout the worlil. And it cannot. -be denied that Christian unity has become .ti great fact at the present day. In some cities and countries it Is more advanced than I otheis: but It exists everywhere it ad vances and will continue to advance And In this great Lot we desceru the footsteps of Ond in history.

And it Is the Christian dis pensation that she so much lustre on this ureal I ruth. Cod in history. When the gi'cuicM of modern historians, John Muller. comprehended Ihis sublime truth, he writes thus: "The gospel Is the fulfilment of every hope, the per fection of all pholosopohy, the Inter preter of every revolution, the key to all the seeming contradictions In the physical aiid moral world." And hence it Is that .God's power is bringing together what may be tallied the -two extremities of prophesying I Christians, Protestants and Itomau Catholics. This a kind of deism destitute of life and of spirit ,i ml like all-negative creeds, it has no power to reconstruct. It told men that ogy. this great truth is portrayed. Thus heaven would be given to them us a rewurd. On the other hand, ' the re ligion of (iod taught that sulvutiot comes from Him alone: that it Is a gift 'i'rom heaven; that It emanates from an amnesty; from the grace of the Sovereign Ituler. St. Murk writes, "God hath given to us eternal life." And so on the other hand the Komun Cuth- oIIch have given to the people the Uible. tty their Indefatigable . la Hois they have planted the crop on the shores of all countries of the world, ifml established Chrlstlnh set- tlrironts wherever men are found. I'ljests have drawn towards them the love of all other ministers of all otlii't' dciniinln.'illons and thus that unity which our Savior so earnestly desired nud inculcated by precept and exam ple, seems to be approaching and that too. without the aid of such extrava gantly zealous people as the founder and builder of the Zionists monetary Kielely of Chicago;, or even the follow ers of those sycofants who shout I am of Paul and, I of Apollos. Perhaps one of our great mistakes has been I he effort to make, too often by ar gument Vnd contention, unity of or Ganization, calling it the church, in stead of recognizing the existence of u unity of sentiment and feeling In nil w ho profess and call themselves Chris tians, ami who are knit together In one communion and fellowship ill the "mystical body of Jesus Christ our I, old." For the Great Angel whom St. .IoJui saw asceulli:g fnjm ' the Fast, had'Jait one seal, "the seal of the living God," to consecrate all God's people in the same way, that they might with one voice praise the one and eternal Father of all. that they might all be in DIVINE REALITY " OFRELIGIOli Cannot bo Called Metaphysical Speculation NO CHRISTIAN IN ' HIS RIGHT MIND Can Bring Himself to Fully Believe THAT HE IS A LOST SINNER IN THE SIGHT OF A JUfcT AND HOLY GOD.

But In one thing he rejoices, thnt Christ Is the Lord his Ighteousness, therefore In him he has sulvullon ami strength. 1 It Is possible for a man to talk much of religion and yet never keenly feel need of It, nor experience Its divine worth and power.

' R. W, THOMPSON, 24 Orange street. W, R. HEARST. It Is Just possible that Mr. IleurstVi strength has been underestimated. The ' people who sneer at the Hearst boom are mostly those who Uo not like bis newspapers. The fact seems to be over looked that perhaps nine-tenths of th . people who see Ills newspapers like them, and will make no objection 'to Mr. Hearst on account of them. Again It does not follow-that Mr.. Hearst is yellow because his newspa pers are so considered. A metropolitan newspaper Is a conglomerate 'proposi tion at best and Is not necessary an In dex to the character of its owner. Apart from this, however, Mr. Hearst is a man of courage, of progressive ideus. of unquestioned ability and of great wealth. A man worth twenty or thirty million dollius Is not apt to be an ene my of wealth legitimately employed, nor is he apt to be unpopular with pros pective campaign managers. We do not believe Mr. Heart will b" Anmed: but w e confess to frenk Mnrf)rltu at a certain strength he has developed. Why Put off Buy jng Christmas Presents. Till the last moment?
