X1SUNDAY THOUGHTS!

WON MORALS0 MANNERS TT A CTEGYMAX "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proving of thicps not seen." (Heb. xi, 1., Revised Yersiun). This ia the best definition of faith ever given, tome people imagine that faith ia evidence of mental veaknes. On the contrar', it ia the teat and the best expression of mental and raoral strength. For it is that Etate of mind in which one is impressed by things which are as yet outside ot him and beyond him in passe, but not in esse. In point of fact, faith is the vital bond of eociety. 'Tis tho foundation oi com- J merce, the root of intercourse, the eecret of marriage. Destroy this principle, let mankind lose their confidence in one another, and they would become Ishmaels. The disorganizing end antagonistic elements of human nature would transform the world into a vast battlefield. Moreover, aa a distinguished writer has eaid, "Th difference between a merchant prince and a petty trader is that the trader can only work as far as he sees. He must be able to put hia hand on cash and box and bale, while the merchant prince disdains to etop at what he can pee and handle, but goes beyond and deals with the relations of things, and anticipates results, and taking into account time and space, and quality, and quantity, and eeaaon, and races, and latitudes, he makes the whole earth minister to his needs. In affairs of Etate, the man who looks only at the forms of law and at the daily routine of government is but a politician. "While he who comprehends those great Btately principles, and who looks forth with clear vision to see the bearing of the present upon the future, is a statesman. This ia political faith. There are many people who are so refined in their tastes that they live in the ideal rather than in the actual. This is a?sthetic9l faith." Religious faith is kindred to these. The Christian takes God at His word believes He means what He eays and will do what He promises. He ensures "as seeing Him who is invisible." Thus he rises out of a mere physical condition into the higher life of the sou!. Faith is the soul's vision. 'Tis not the opposite of reason, but the continuation of reason. Ke;i.on is the faculty by which we walk toward Ihe world. 13y and by reason reaches the confines of the natural. Here it halts. And here faith takes its place and leads ua on and up toward the supernatural. Hence faith is reason sublimed and spiritualized and applied to divine things. Great natures work and wait and trust. "We remind the preachers this morning of the saying of Schopenhauer: "Just a3 medicine fails to produce tho proper effect if the. dope is too large, so it is with homilies if they exceed the measure of good judgment." 'Tis far wiser to honor and pay great men while they are alive than it is to build splendid monuments to them after they are dead. The FortugueFe are now proud of Camoens, their only pott; but he was obliged to live on the alms which a negro boy collected for him on the streets in the evening. Rubinstein has juet completed his chef d'eeuvre, the grand gacred opera "Moses." It is in eight acts,, and is to be performed on twn successive nights. 'Tis a mistake to make it so long in thid paragraphic age. The figures 1S'J2 look strange. The hand trembles a little ia writing them. "Why, we had hardly gotten u?ed to when it stepped out and down. "What a runaway time is. lie has borrowed the winged heels of the fabled Mercury. How shall we use the new year? Tetter, let us hope, than we did the old one. 'Tis wise to study the past in order to moderate our expectation?, to cool our feverish pursuits, to acquaint ourselves with the causes of bygone weakness and failure and to avoid today what brought via to shipwreck yesterday. A British clergy-man aflirms that none have learnt the eecret of enjoying the bible until they have commenced to mark it neatly; underlining and dating special Terses, which have cast a light upon their path; drawing railway connections between verses which repeat the same message ; jotting down new references, or the catchwords of helpful thoughts, fcuch a habit finds plenty of employment for the pen and stores ud our treasures permanently. Our bible becomes the precious memento of bygone hours and records the history of our inner life. "What are called "university settlements," which consist of a band of students, residing in a quarter of a city occupied by the poorer and needier classes are becoming bleesedly frequent.- These itudents seek to establish friendly relations with those around them and to at tract them to lectures and discussions conducted in some convenient place perhaps in the building which is the headquarters of the work. The people engage freely in the consideration of eocial and economic questions which affect their condition, so that the debates are equally instructive and beneficial to teachers and taught. May this good work become contagious. Evidently, in England there are many ladies and gentlemen by title who are not fach in fact. Names and armorial bearings which are found in the IIerald'$ college, do not appear in tne peerage of merit and honesty. The prince of Wales is a eelf-ackndwledcd law-breaker and gambler. His former crony, ir 'William Cummings-Gordon, is a legally branded thief. And now, Mrs. Osborne, the poddaughter of iir Henry James, etands by her own confession as the pilferer of her intimate friend, Mrb. Hargrave's jewelry. Over there, "noblesse oblige" is an absolete motto. Alt toll nio ehren, Jone oll uiao bekehren, Weiss oll man (ragen, Karren Ttrtrageo. That is to say: Honor the old. instruct the young, consult the wise and bear with the foolish. According to F. U. Meyer there are thrte eorta of men, viz: (1) The natural (I Cor., ii,l4) who is left to himself withcarnal (Horn., viii, 7), who lives in and for 1. . 1 ,,! tl, . ar.iritnal II f'nr Who ia filled witn Uod and lives by tho spirit Chesterfield was a type of tho fir?t a ociety man, a gentleman but not a Christian. liyron w as a type of tha second, who harnessed his brain to (his body and pawnt-d his soul to gratity Iiis passions. John Wesley was a type of the third, who

boasted that his parish was the world and who lived outside of himself, and in the spirit of Jesus, pro bon publico. Tümil Which of these is our type? A careful observer assures us that there are just four types of religious life: (1.) The rationalistic, in which all truth and doctrine are submitted to the reason as the supreme arbiter; (2.) the ecclesiastic, in which the church is practically the final authority ; (3.) the mystic, in which the "inner light" interprets even Christian revelation; (4.) the evangelic, in which the soul bows to the authority of the inspired word, and makes the reason, the voice of the church, and the inner instincts and impulses subordinate, as fallible sources of authority, to tho one supreme tribunal of scripture. Hetween these four every believer must make his election. Surely the church is a place where one day's truce ouaht to be allowed to the disßensions and animosities of mankind. Burke.

The sun does not say that he will not bring summer to the earth until all the weeds are pulled up ; he brings in summer notwithstanding the weeds. Our first work is not argument again3t error, but the preaching of affirmative doctrine. Joicph Parker. As tnunder without rain does more harm than good, so ministers who preach the terrors ot tho law, but do not at the same time drop in the dew of gospel instruction and consolation, are not "wipe master builders," for they pull down, but build nothing up again. Luther. One thing, and only one, in this world ha eternity stamped upon it. Feelings paas. resolves pass, opinions change. What you have done lasts lasts in you; through ages and through eternity. What you have done for Christ, that, and only that, you are. F. II'. oltrLvm. l'eople, unless sick, come out of doors; so graces, if healthy, manifest themselves in the life. Anon. Una virtue without another is either none at all or imperfect. Gregory the Great. how me not the athlete in the place of exercise, but in the arena; and religion not at the place of profession, but at the season of practice Chrisortoin. Ho not come to me and tell me you are fit to join the church because you love to pray morning and nL'ht. Tell me what your praying has done for you; and then call your neighbors and let me hear what they think it has done for you. II. W. L'eccher. So great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a lig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen. Epictelus. Good things are hard. Plato. First in China, and now in Persia, Christianity and trade are being used to foment discontent. Our readers will remember the recent outbreak in China against tho missionaries and the maeaacro of the Ilelgian priests. Indeed, at this moment a European fleet is cruising in Chinese waters for tho purpose of protecting Western interest?. And now in Persia tobacco and Christianity (what a combination !) are under the ban. The native priests have interdicted the weed as a Christian vice; and A-i in Abyesinnin, 'tis urged that every smoker have his lips cutolf and that every enulf-taker have his nose curtailed. At the came time the walls of Teheran have been placarded with appeals to Moslems to rise and exterminate Christianity. Tho truth should seem to be that the spirit of the age has reached these gravevard countries. There is a rattling of dry bones, significant of an approachiue resurrection. Thtj people, trampled down and trampled out for unnumbered a?es beneath the remorseless heels of priests and, nobles, have awakened to real the signs of the times to know what law, justice and liovernment mean. In their degradation and misery they grasp at any weapons, and are careless of the means, provided they can gain relief. Finding Christianity unpopular, they attacked it in orded to stir agitation, and with a view to antagonize the court, and if possible get it into trouble with, foreign powers. Tnia is the real meaning of the seditious tumuits in China and in Persia. Christianity is not ee.-entit.lly involved. 'Tis only selected as a popular weapon of olTence. The Fnptern ementeisbut another proof of the divine discontent with the existing Eocial order that is now world embracing. At a recent bible conference Mr. Torrey, superintendent of the Moody bible institute, Chicago, gave ten reasons for believing the bible to bo tho word of God. Here they are: ( 1 ) The testimony of Jesus Christ. (2) Its fulfilled prophecies. (3) The unity of the book. (4) Its immeasurable superiority to any and all other writings. (5) The character of its revelations, (d) The character of those who accept it and of thoe w ho reject it. (7) The power to lift men and purify them. (8) Its profundity generations have etudied it. yet the bottom has not been reached. ('J) As we grow in holiness, we grow toward the bible. (10) The teetimony of the Holy Spirit. We begin with God and end with God. Mr. Torrev'a reasons are good. But there are a thousand more just a good. One of the best proofs of the divinity of the bible is the testimony oi tho conscience to it. In closing the sessions of the American institute of sacred literature held in Farwell hall, Chicago, last week, tho Eight Rev. Bishop Samuel Fellows spoke out bravely concerning the crimes of business men. "Many of these began centuries aco and wero among the chief causes that led to the ruin of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Their balances were deceitful and their measures were false, they gained wealth by defrauding their fellowmtn. So today there are many who ee'l adulterated food and ease their consciences by thinking that they did not do the adulterating. They give short weight in coal; they use marks and frauds that are calculated to deceive; they sell liquors and beverages that cannot fail to have a deleterious effect on the purchasers. It is by such methods that men make money, and it ia by these practices that business at large is made corrupt. The trader who knowingly sells an article that is not what it is represented to be and then goes to church and pravs on Sunday will be a long way from heaven when the judgment day arrives." A periodical devoted to mosic publishes a letter illustrative of the difficulties en countered by travelers in Itusaia. A stu dent of music on the soe-fa system, having to visit tne land of the czar, took his text book with him to help him pass the time. At the frontier this volume excited aus picion in the minds of the custom-house officers, who could not mike head or tail of its stranpe mixture of letters, dots and dashes. It might be nihilism in einher, and so, to make sure, the book was conns cated, notwithstanding the fact that the owner, to prove its harmless character, sang from lit an innocuous solo. Reason? Beecham's Pills act like magic.

THE STARVING RUSSIANS.

AN APPEAL MADE BY THE TOLSTOI FAMILY FOR AID. Frnzr und I'anlo Among the People A Catastrophe Dayood Comparison Olfllcul. ties in the "Way of Itelfef Sjitmatlc Charltnble Work Ilacun The Situation Dlacrlbed by the Able reus of Couut lolstol ami His Wife. The December number of Free Pusfia, the monthy publication of the Friends of Kassian Freedom, states that the famous Count Tolstoi, his great-hearted wife, with their sons and daughters, have given up the pleasant leisure of their country home, and are now in the famine-stricken districts of IJuseia, savins from starvation people who, but for their elforts and the timely contributions of friends, would in all probability perish. From Moscow the Countess Tolstoi has issued an appeal which will be read with world-wide interest. As translated from the liittakaya VucJomoati (Russian Gazette), her letter runs as follows : Sir. the help in money and otherwise given np till now for the relief of the starving people has been so great that I hardly dare to touch upon the question. But the distress also is proyine tar greater than any one had expected. and always more and more has to be asked and given. My whole family hau broken cp to so and help in various part of tho country. My husband, Count Lyov Tolatoi, is at present with oar two dau?htersjin the Dankov district, trying to arrange the largest possible number of free eonp. kitchens, or, as the peasants have named them, Care for Orphans. My two elder sons, who serve in the lied Cross, are actively lielpinK in the Cheroski district; and my younger eon has gone to the province of Samara to open eoup kitchens there as tar as his means will allow. Lut, in such a great need as this, individual persons can do nothing. And yet every day that we epend in a warm house, every mouthful that we eat, seems to reproach us with trie thought that in this very moment some one is dying with hunger. All of us who live here in Moscow in luxury and cannot bear to see the slightest paia su'Jered by our own children how should we endure the f-i'.'ht of the desperate or stupefied mothers lookuosr ou while their children die of huuijcr and coid.' The Soup Kitchens. I quote from a letter that my daughter has written to me from the 1'ankov district, referring to the soup kitcheus which the local land-owners have opened : . "I have been in two of theu. In one, which has been opcued in a tiny chicken house, a widow cooks dinner for twenty-five persons. When I entered a lot ot children were sitting at a table, each with a piece of Lrcad and eating soup. Several old women were standing and waiting their turn. I talked with one of them. The roor things are kept alive biruply by these free dinners; tuey have absolutely nothing at home, so they have no breakfast. They receive two meals a day at the kitchen; and the cost of this, fuel included, is from 'J 5 kopecks to 1 rouble, SO kopecks a month for each person." Thus 13 roubles will save from starvation till next harvest one person. Hut there are so many that enormous sunn are needed. Let us, though, at least try wli&t can be done. If each of us saves, according to hit or her powers, one. two, ten, or a hundred lives, our consciences will be lihter. Mirelr, Gcd will spare us another suc:i year in our lifetime ! I venture to appeal to all those who are willing and able to heln f"r material uid in the work that my family have undertaken. All donations will be emploed directly to feed children and aged persons in the soup kitchens opened by my husband and children. Donations may he forwarded as follows: Count Lyov Nikolaevich Tolst i, 15 DolgoKhamovnichesky, I'ereoulok, Muicow, It will nut be lor me to thank those who re spond to my appeal, but for the unfortunate people whom they will save from starvation. Sophia Tolstoi. Moscow, Nov. 2, 191. Count Tolstoi has also addressed a long communication to the liustian papers on the subject of the famine. He describes the famine us "a Catastrophe liryoml Comparison, worse than any flood, and beyond comparison moro general." "The failure of crops," he goes on to eay, "has been over a full third of Russia, and that third is just the most fertile part of the country; it is the part upon which tho remaining two-thirds have always depended for sustenance. In the second p!aco the harvest has failed also in the neighboring countries; and, therefore, a large quantity of torn 1.A3 already been exported from Ku.-eia. Wheat, indeed, is etiil being exported. In the third place, thero ore not, and cannot be, in Itussia this year auy stores cf old corn, euch as wero there, for instance, in the famine year of 1S40." The count further speaks of tho panic created by the famine as "a terror which people catch, like infection, one from another, and which paralyzes their power of acting in concert. This panic shows itself in tho successive prohibitions oi the expert, first of rye, then of other kinds of grain (wheat, for tome reason, excepted,) and also in euch contradictory measures as, on the. one hand, the assigning of larire Bums for the relief of the distressed, and, on the other, tho collecting of taxes by the local authorities. The panic is also strikingly noticeable in the everincreaising disagreements between the various local jurisdictions. As is always the case in times of epidemic terror, some rush one way and some another. A further proof of the panic is the attitude and behavior of the people for instance, the general rush for work and the desperate swaying of the masses to and fro from country to town, and from town to country. . Does not this clearly prove the frenzy with which the people are possessed? All these signs, the panic especially, are gravely significant, and show that we have good cause for fear. The enemy a terrible enf my stands right before us, and it is useless to say we are not afraid of him, for we know that be is here, and in our hearts we know that we are afraid of him." hince Count Tolstoi' letter was written it has been shown that thero is a deficiency of corn in Hussia to the extent of 75,000,000 bushels. ifoino account of the difficulties placed in the way of relief are given in the current number of Free liunsia. "The government," says that publication, "being avowedly unable to meet the emergency, has permitted public subscriptions. But it insists upon having absolute control over both the collection and distribution of relief funds. All combination for purposes of relief, unless specially authorized, is strictly prohibited and only individual philanthrophy tolerated. "Every Kussian can make an Appeal to Public Charity in his own name, and collect funds. Hun dreds of Russians authors, editors, cler gymen, whose names or positions carry weight have availed themselves of this privilege. Hut two-persons are not al lowed to make such an appeal in their col lective names, and would lay themselves open to prosecution on the charge of 'form ing an illegal association.' A man, unless the government has some bias as to his political views, will be allowed to go to any of the dirtressed districts and distribute re lief personally. But he cannot have a friend or agent to help him in the work, for this again would be forming an illegal asso tiatioD.' The money must be given either to olhcials of the government (of whom the Ices said the better) or to the Red Cross, a eociety composed mainly of private persons, men and women, who

are generally perfectly decent and relia-

b.e people. I?ut bureaucracv must med dle in everything, arid the Kussian public nas no commence whatever in anvthing which is managed by the bureaucracy. Subscriptions started under such auspices have brought in a mere trille. about 500.000 roubles frcm the whole of Hussia. "Compassionate pnople. and there are many of them among wealthy Russians, have helped their euflering countrymen individually. Hut a number of them wanted to organize relief upon a large scale, on condition that those who gave the money might have control over its proper distribution. The widow of the Russian millionaire Sava Morozov ollered 3.000,000 roubles on this condition ; but her offer was declined. Prof. Vladimir Solovyov, a man of wide influence among all classes and parties, who holds in Russia ' a position similar to that of Count Lyov Tolstoi, did better still. He got anioncr his manv rich friends a list of donations amounting to 14,000,000 roubles, and he is expected to obtain moro if the government would allow the syndicate to appoint their own agents and have control over the distribution of the money. 13ut the government refused to enterain the proposal (made in the end of October lagt, choosing rather to deprive the starving peasantry of abundant relief than to run the risk of allowing some freedom of action to a nonofhcial body." lhough the Kussian government has thus placed restrictions upon private in itiative, it is understood that it will make no attempt to interfere with the work now being done bv the Tolstoi family : and Americans who may wish to aid their etl'orts in relieving the frightful distress now existing in that misgoverned country are invited to send their contributions to Francis J. Garrison, treasurer of the Society of American Friends of Russian Freedom, 4 l'ark-6t., Boston, Maf., by whom they will be promptly acknowledged and forwarded to Countess Tolstoi.
