FOLLOWERS OF FALSE HODS. The wonderful progressiveness of the present age, the advancement in the sciences, the marvelous inventions, have done much for the world and mankind. And yet with the rapid and brilliant achievements of the dav. certain objectionable features have be come a part of this growth, invading Uth business and social life. IVsople are so accustomd to modern achieve ments, as to feel incapable of surprise1, in fact any expression of enthusiasm is considered -'bad form," and a sbm of vulgarity. " The intensely rapid growth of the material affairs in life, are far in ad. Vance ff the moral, although the moral side has - shared in some degree with the physical advancement. The pleas ing delusion of .many jeople, that the Christian graces are native to the United States, and t'o not ued ctilti- vatioii, but can easily keep up with material progress, leads to their neglect People' are so blinded -by the ostenta tious glare of the material, as to be unable to note the absence of Chris tianity and philanthropy, and pursue their way, deceived by the glitter, accepting thu shadow for the substance, in this time and age, wheu poverty is accounted a crime, not a misfortune, Christianity, in its highest arid noblest teachings, is incompatible with the ousiness success of to-dav, anJ a roud commercial rating is : ratlier to be sought, than the spirit which accom panies a poor and honest life.

International arbitration and uni versal peace are things mot desirable m the,nvc- but tluiV maypiire . ' . i more effective means for this fruition than the meeting of . clergymen which j has I een held at the City Temple iu London. When, for an example, we find Venezuela anxious to resort to referees for a peaceful determination of her-eastern .' boundary, and Great Britain olistructing such a settlement by interposing a condition that would give her an advantage, one of the practical olstacles to arbitration be comes manifest. Kaiser Willtelm lias more than once proclaimed himself an ardent f riend of jcacef and tro'doubt is entirely sincere; yet with his tem perament and surroundings his devo tion to Kace might conceivably depend on whetheMJcrmany was allowed to have her own way. Still, arbitration as the voluntary resort-of nations is making gains. We have two conspic uous examples of this fact at present iniJreat Britain's agreements for. the settlement of her fishery quarrels with France and onr country; and recalling also her arrangements with Portugal about the Delagoa Bay affair. Lord Salisbury may ardently acquire an en viable reputation for his readiness to accept this means of settling. inter national difficulties. If he tries to get the best hold in the British Ouuna boundary dispute, at least' his arrange ment for arbitration with France is so conspicuously fair as to excite the fears of the Newfoundlanders,-' while the proposed settlement with our country as to the seals is no leas liberal than the one as to the lobsters.. . Hut the somewhat vague Views of arbitration as a guarantee of universal peace. which 'forms the pieasant mid summer dream of the ministers now taking their vacation- in London and of their professional brethren who are greeting'thcm there is another .matter. The difficulty with a scheme of com pulsory, arbitration, binding on all nations, is that of prearranging its terms Lord Salisbury and M. Hibot know how much they wish to submit to referees in the French shore dispute.
