US EDITORIALS FOR SUNDAx. - What a precious book is the Letter to the Hebrews, whoever may be the real author. It is commonly attributed to iPaul, but sound and safe modern scnoiarsmp anu iwi w critics," a misnomer) tnmKS n jraunne in thought and doctrine while really the work of another hand. But be that as it may it is of the greatest interest and value to the searcher after truth and the believer in the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Saviour of sinners. In the first chapt er Christ is exalted above all men and all angels in Heaven, "being made so much better than the angels." The fargument is .that being above angels Christ the Son is therefore God: "For unto which of his angels said He (the Father) at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee." The writer is seeking at once ana clearly to confirm his Hebrew brethren, his race, in the faith of Christ, and his ar gument lis well calculated to impress theni with the Divinity of Jesus Christ. Again he says of God, "And again, I will be to" Him a Father, and He shali be to me a Son," and in the 6th verse he writes, God speaking, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." He goes even farther Jin the argument, he represents the Father as saying: "But unto the Son. He salth. Thy throne O God, is forever and ever: A sceptre of righteousness s the sceptre of Thy kingdom." The author says of Christ: "ThouLord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are are work of Thine hands." This agrees with the statement, most important, that John makes: "All things were made by. Him; and with out Him was not any thing made that was made." It surely takes God to do these mighty works the creator of the world of the universe. All through He brews you will find constant reference tn the. Old Testament, believed to be the Word of God by the Jews to whom he writes, and he argues In a way to impress them by referring to words, names and expressions to be found in Holy Writ. He shows in the ear lier verses of the first chapter how Jehovah has spoken untd the Jews and Gentiles by His Son. He upholds the Messenger, his dignity; power and glory, and appeals to that fact that the Gospel His message is true, and that it supersedes all other revelations given. He has sent Him in these last days His "heir in all things" (verse 2) and He declares that His gracious Son is nothing less than "the express image of His (the Father's) person," as also "the brightness of His (the Father's) elorv." It is the Eternal Jesus, the ' well beloved Son who is creator, pre- Saviour and Judsre. He' is all and in all. He will "purge our sins,' make atonement for all sin of all man kind by His own shed blood, and hav ing perfected the great and merciful nian nf redemDtlon will ascend to "Heaven where now in all of His pre existent glory, before world's were, He sits "on the right hand of the Majesty on high." In the face of all this, and a vast amount of other similar, estab lishing, confirming evidence as to the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus there are Gentiles who do not believe in Him as taught, but regard Him as a great wise, good, most exemplary and benig nant being. We repeat, What we once before wrote in these columns elimin ate Christ, deny Him Eternal Sonship, rob Him of His Divinity and the Bible is the most mysterious, and misleading book In the world. "Thy throne, O God. is for ever and ever." Blessed be the Great and August Father that He has spoken unto His faithful, believing rhildren bv His adorable Son! "Thanks be to God the Son, that He. hath not only lived to reveal to us the Father's will, but also reconciled us to the Father" jby His own death upon the rugged tree of the Cross! Thanks be unto God the Father and God the Sn that the Holy Spirit has been sent. that God as He is, "He has moved botn prophets and apostles, both in the Old Testamnls and in the New, to testi fy to the glory, majesty and dominion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!" Amen and Amen! is of the period of-the persecutions of Christians in the reign . of Nero, the devil in human form who ruled Rome. We have not read these works, but they are so unlformlly lauded, andmost highly, that we wish to help certain others to the pleasure offered in their reading. Mr. Stimpson's workmanship is particularly emphasized for its beau ty, freshness charm, "subtllity, skill. There is conceded to the Pole's novel- Quo Vad'ia" that it Is of supreme ex cellence, full of power, of dramatic quality, of descriptive excellence of a high range, and altogether the great historical success In recent years. Pos sibly It is the greatest intellectual pro duction of the last few years in the way of romance-or fiction. It is now at tracting much attention 4n literary cir cles. The Messenger mentionea us ap pearance two or three weeks since Its descriptions are represented as of ex traordinary vigor and intensity. It will probably have a greater run than any. novel within the last decade except the delightful "Trilby." It ia just be ginning to get a good headway. Its cost will prevent Its sale in the south to a great extent. From the 1st December to probably 1st January the books that had the largest sale in the United States, judg ing by reports from most of the intel lectual centres, were Barrie's ."Senti mental Tommy," easily leading, Wat son's "Kate Carnegie," second, Bar rie's "Margaret Ogilby.' "King Noan ett." Kipling's poem, "The Seven Seas," and Quo Vadis." Men come and go as Tennyson said, and so do novels. Every month there is a new novel or two that appear destined to have a quick run, pass on and make room for others on the way. The six most read novels today are not those of four months ago. Those read now so much will be shoved aside and others will take their places, good or bad. The vast majority will prove ephemeral, of today, and will soon pass away forever and be shoved into the limbo of literary trash and nothingness. , Over 2,000 nov els appear in a' year. Of these per haps not more than twenty are really ieservlng of attention and not five will live for twenty years. But the great novels will live long. There are now before the public two elegant and elab -rately illustrated and excellently edi ted editions of Sir Walter Scott's most charming, wonderful novels. Recently we read "Guy Mannering" for the third or fourth or fifth time. It was better i-to us than ever before. It is one of ftiat great author's most precious and most engaging novels a masterpiece, and but one story, teller could have pro luced It. We thought why spend time over the fictions of the present time so 'ong fts Scott's novels, so full ofperen niai fascination and beauty and inter est and health and nature," are on the shelves. W are readme asrain his li st novel. "Waverly." It has most of the qualities that so glorify Scott's best U is something slow in moving off, but he wa3 "trying his 'prentice hand," but when he gets under full swing you de light to loiter with the Master by the way, to go with him In gladness wherever he goes, and to revel with him in his descriptions of scenery and men and women. What a halo of fascina tion and beauty the "Great Wizard" can throw avsr any event or scene he may picture for our delectation! There has been but one Scott. Dumas has wonderfully swift movement. His "Three Guardsmen" and "Twenty Years After," the sequel, are full of In terest and Improbability, and. are ex cellent examples of the art of story tell ing. But they lack the naturalness, the delightful description of manners and customs, the entertaining learn ing, the high moral atmosphere, the qound health, the pleasing asides, the exquisite, abounding humor and other fine qualities of the immortal Scotcn genius. No one ought to reaa me iit- ter-day productions until he has reaa Fieldlne.

Senators who look through American spectacles and not through the colored glasses furnished them by this alien press, do not wax enthusiastic over a proposition to sub mit questions In dispute between Brit ain and America to an arbitrator to be appointed by King Oscar of Sweden, before whom shall appear- one or two advocates appointed by the United States and one or two advocates ap pointed by Great Britain to argue the respective merits or the case. This, stript of all subterfuge, is the suggest ed method of arbitration laid down In the treaty, to which -Mr. Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote affixed their signa tures. And this picking out of ; an arbiter prejudiced by environment, prejudiced by gratitude to Great Brit ain, gave promise of anything but fair play. Philadelphia Agierican, rep. The Boston Journal points to figures of our national revenue which are in deed startling. For the month of i Jan uary. 1895, the revenue from the ; Wil son tariff was $17,000,000. For January of 1896. it was $16,000,000. And for January of 1897, it was $11,000,000. Of such a bankrupting nature is the mea sure which the Cleveland administra tion prepared, even after Secretary Carlisle had petitioned congress in 1891 for funds to make good the deficit in the revenue then existing. The deniclt for the seven months of the fiscal year to the end of next June is S43,uuu,uuu, and the total deficit for the year promises to be over $60,000,000. During the past three years the total deficit in the revenue has been neany uw.uw, 000. Nevertheless, that period has seen a certain number of philosophers howling for currency reform as the country's only deliverance, the Hon Grover Cleveland, the author of the deficit, maintaining that the $262,000,- 000 of Cleveland bonds represented nothing but a glorious defence of the gold standard, and, at the close, the New York Chamber of Commerce pre paring to give Mr. Cleveland a dinner to celebrate his greatness and virtue as a public man.

POT POURRI. There are two new novels jthat are exceedingly well praised. If they ajre really as good as .represented by crit ics they should not be overlooked. They are both historical and all are agreed that they are very strong, very ro mantic and impressive, showing mas terly hands, rare power of description and narration and of very positive mer it. It is a concensus of Judgment that the two are most noticeable produc tions, among the best and most vigo rous in latter years. We refer to the American novel "King Noanett," by F.
