All this is in tba faiteraat of batter service The rata is not permanent There is a patltioa on file aMdng for an inyaatigation of all brmnehas of tba company’s service, some of the patrons baliaving that an undue burden has been placed by tba company on tha beating department If thia ahouid prove to be the ease, there might, before tba expiration of the present season, be a lowering of too rate. There is atlU toe question aa to whether this property should ba treated aa aa Indapandant unit If tba plant of tha company, taken as a whola la yielding a large rettum. that fact would have some bearing on the question of rates for hot water service.

[Ctactenatl Saqulrer] How dURcult it is to maintain tbeorr in the pECsence of hard, unyielding facts! For example. Dr. Charles Rliot luaaideat emeritus of Harvard college, gained much fame from his action in the instituting in that seat of learning of the electtv'e system. This permitted toe student, after certain stages had been reached in his training, to choose for himself the remaining equipment of his mind. Thia was haUed as a great advance in pedagogy. It waa to lend valuable asaiatanoe in toe development of the mind of toe student by casting on him responsifaUlty and by freeing him from the toacklea of the directing faculty. From toe very onset, however, there were objections to elactivism. Old-faah-ioned men asserted that the theory would work out to perfection only when tt encountered superior minds and urged toe malntenanoe of toe directive system. Tbeae objectors were criticised as reactionary and. as a bright, though sarcastic, periodical recently remarked, ’’deemed worthy to be cast out in permanent darkness with Mohammedans, Jesuits and other reactionaries and roediaevalista." But lo. a change has come over Harvard and electKlsm is now condemned in the aame quarter from which it emerged—the presidency. Addressing a Harvard campaign committee, Pi^ldent Lowell made thia serious objection to permitting undergraduates to choose their studies and took occasion to place the accusing Anger upon the weak spots of his predeceaaor's plan: ‘Tt was found that the principle ui>on which toe system was founded was wrong. It was wrong because the student. instead of choosing too subjects in which he was moat interested and working at them, generally was not interested in anything and therefore sought something easy and diverting. That is not a goad war to prepare for life. Preparing for life is something like training for an athletic team. Tou must work your muscles until they are tired for one. and your brain until it is tired, for tho other.” In other words the proper title waa used in describing a pedagogue as a schoolmaster. The student can not be both teacher and learner. The old wav, we see, is the better, after all.

First Division Sends Open Letter of French Farewell

PARIS, August 2*.—The ofllcers and soldiers of the 1st division of the American expeditionary force, who are on the point of wnbarklng for home, have sent an open letter of farewell to the French soldlera After recalling associations of twonty-five months, ths letter expresses admiration for toe courage and sacrifices of the French troops and adds: “After America, we love France best

Visitations to toe New Testament ta tots: “When He waa eqme mar. He beh^ the city, and wsgt over it saying. If thou hadst known, even thou, at Tw* Team least In this thy day. the Age. things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes.” 'The tmrrtble doom that eras to fall eras “because thou knewest not the time of thy vtstation.” The words' were spoken of Jerusalem, but they apply to all natitme—the principle is as broad as hu-_ manity. We are to learn whether America knows toe things that belong to Its peace, or whether the vision is hid from its eyea The testing tone comes to all sutes. each has its "time of visitation.” Always, ft may fairly be said, the question is whether the eplrttual or the materialistic point of view shall control. Two years ago this nation waa led into the great war by the highest and purest ideale-and bow proud we were that it was so! There was a feeling of exaltation that always cornea to one when the noble choice has been made. Our soldiers were thought of as crusadere—many of them thought of themselves in thst way. We rejoiced that we were to get nothing out of the war. It was everywhere re<x>gnised that America was the only wholly disintereeted b^ligerent. We waged war against Injustice and crime, against an odious deepotiam. and in behalf of outraged nations, and tortured women and children. It waa a great experience for any country or people to go torough. and a great example to the world. Our vision was clear—we knew toe time of our Visitallon. and the things that beienged to our peace. The record was mads and will live, and we have a right to glory in it.

No one thought so two years ago. The provocation that forced us into the struggle ie confounded with the objects we sought after we entered. Gthera are asking what we are to get out of it. and even intimating that we ought to share in the indemnity. Here ie a great fall, a fall far below those bights to which we had climbed in April, 1917. It is argued that we owe no duty to other nations and to the world, but that on the contrary we should leave them to climb out of the ditch into which they have fallen, or sink into ruin, as the case may be. So the day of our visitation is again at jiand—we are again facing a crisis in our life. That crisis is no less terrible—but rather more sobecauee it ia spiritual. Leaving out all question of machinery and detkiis. there can be no doubt that mankind needs our help and support aa greatly as It did when the Germans were storming across the Marne on what leemed likely to be a tRiumphant march ti^ Paris The burden is laid on us the mission is appointed. If. as -was mid during the war, toe American flag never retreats, it must not retreat now. When we entered the war we entered into relationships that can not be broken, became involved in problems that we must hslp BolTs The richest, most powerful, and most unscathed nation in the world can not withhold its support and aid in this critical period of the world’s history. There must, for the present at least, be something very like that unified command that contributed so ppwerfully to the winning of the waf. Buch beyond question is the feeling of the Amerlmn peopls But. as has been said, thwe are diasentiento. and pechiqM toey are not without influence. Nor is it easy to keep the vision clear or to’ dwell permanently above the fog of a cynical materialism. . After reviewing the long course of history, Matthew Arnold very truly mid that it is moral causm that govern therising and falling of Ideals states. There are thoee who think otherwise, and amure us that national decay has been the result of extravagance and luxury, the impoverishment of the land, the exploitation of distant provinces, the pressure of population on the means of subsistence, unwise policies of rulers, arid many other things—all of which have no doubt played .their part. But the eeientifle historians, so-called, who ignore or minimise the morsd element, err greatly. It is well understood that the man who takes a low view of his own life, and who admits no rsapanelbllity to others. Is certain to Uve on a low pianp. Indeed, It can not be otherwise. "As he thinketh in bis heart, so is he.” For the Judgment that a man forms he is very likely to attempt to realise In conduct and action. Life mpat, therefore. If It Is to be noble, be led and controlled by noble ideals and high aspirations. This is quita as true of nations as of individuals. Tbarsfore. Arnold was qi^te right when he said toat the rising and faUlng- of states were governed by moral causes. Indeed, back of almost every material InAuence there Is a moral force. If. for instance. it is argued tbat a nation was destroyed by luxury, it is stiU possible to argue that the preswace of luxury in a people is positive proof of a relaxaUon of their moral fiber. Decay of states always works from within, and it is invariably the result of a detertoratkin In the character of toe pedffie. It will not do, therefore, to sneer at ideals, since it is by them ttmt nations and men must live if they are to live grandly. Without aspiratkm th«re eam be no achievement, no progrem to clvlliution. Ideals are but ideas writ large, the fruit of aa indwelltog sptolt. Men can not love a mere govMmment, but they can love their country. They can not love such a country as Amerlea without also loving its principles, and being loyal to them- America is great, not because it Is rich and powerful, but because it stands for something toexpreasibly precloua

There is a ststseinsiilika quality to toe words at Ckrtat Mwken la regard to Jerusalem that is perhaps not ,sufficimitly reoi^toed. Ths Bltatoicae city was to suffer—such clearty was His meaning ~^ot m«ely because it rejected Him aa King or Messiah, but because it was unwQltog or unable to eater at an into His idea of what a nation's life should be, ‘Tf thou hadst known, even now, at least in this thy day, the things .which belong unto^ thy peace!”—such were the words. Those things were the Ideals at life presented by Him. "But now are they hid fmn thine eyes’* It was a case of spiritual blindness Bv«ry revelatioB at the truth is a “vlMtatlon.” and may be a judgneut, must be a judgment, in fact. Such visitatloaa come to men and nations every day. for truth is continually being revealed. But oceaelonally they are so clear that there seems to be no poaslbUtty of mistaking them—and yet men are often, as of old, blind. Many are bltad today. There have been few more startUng revelations to hfatory than those brought by the great war. It throvrs a flood of light on the human situation, and shews militartsm. Impertadknn, greed, hate and national aelllsluieas and arrogance to their hideous colors One saay also see how necessary the nations are to one another, how toey can and should serve me another, and how Important It Is that there should be the friendliest feelings and the closest co-operatkm among them. It is perfeetly clear that hate. BuspleieB, jealousy, egotism and lust for domtoikm are the sure breeders of war—and yet men’s hearts are still ooatrollsd by these passions Shall It be said of America “thou knewest not the ttoae of thy visitation”? The question is one that concerns ths CThrlatian: church very direetly. It dare not shrink from ideals m denounce them as “mpractleaL” Rather its highest duty is to apply them, and make them controlling in both Individual and national Ufa Failing to that, ao matter how eminent it may be to social service, its failure will be complete. For though toe world noeds many things—food, clothing, houees mpital. tools raw material and much else—it also needs to be baptised A New with a new spirit. Those flpirit who fall to see this are the vtotlms of the same shortsightedneas as that which oharaoterised the people of Jerusalem. There are certain words of ths Bible which mm for the most part fall to treat with any seriousness or to think of as having any direct application to lifs Ths prophet Joel interpreted Jehovah to his people thus: It Men oome te peas sftsnrard that 1 wUi- pour out my Spirit upon all fleab; and your SOM and your daughters shall prophesy, your old am shall dream dreams your young mm ehalt eeo vldone; and also upon the eervaata and upon the handmaids in those days will X pour out my Spirit. And 1 will show wonder In the bmvena and In the earth, blood and fire and pillars of amoks Ths sun ahall he turned into darkness and the moon Into blood, More the great and the terrible day of the torO come. The "wwider’’ we surely have had, and “the blood and fire and pillars of amoks'’ Even Ute sun Itself seemed to be darkened imd the heavens bathed to blood. May not there “afterward” be the promised pouring out of the Spirit on this nation and all nations? We can not condemn old men who “dream dreamsi" or young men who “s^ vlslMis” or scorn those who “prophesy”— that to, we can not do eo and costtoue to be Christians The weary worM has for ages longed for toe fulfillment of the great prophecy of Isaiah 1 He ehsll Judge among the natlore ud ebaii rebuke many people: and they shall beat tb^r swords into piowehaies and their spears into prealng-hooks; nation shitl not lift up sword against nation, neither abail they learn war any more, s O bodee of Jaoob, come ys and let us walk in the
