A Poor Mnn’t University. No one who beard the elegant and atholarly address In which Secretary Hay welcomed the members of the International Peace congress, or who read the oration In print, can have faded to notice how freely the speaker drew upon the Scripture* for Illustration or warning or metaphor, or other telitng effect, ■ays Youth's Companion. The nature of the Scriptural references was such ss to make It plain to even' cultivated hearer that the secretary of state is a reader of the Bible and familiar with it. When Senator Hoar died the newspapers from one end of the country to the other commented on his broad and deep scholarship, yet there was no way in which that scholarship so frequently exhibited itself in his speeches as in the aptness and force with which he quoted Scripture. HU great speech on the Philippine policy vtas a notable illustration. President Lincoln had the same gift, or acquirement, and used It in the same way; nor can one find many Americans who have been great in the highest sense of the word of w horn the same could not be said, in a greater cr lets degree. U it not rather strange that lamlliarlty with the Scriptures always produces upon an audience the Impression of learning, of cultivation? Dots the fact not give young men something to consider? That impression U produced by reason of the fact that a thorough knowledge of the Bible U culture. Is learning. Ur. Hay U In every cense a learned man. and so waa Senator Hoar; and if two minds like theirs, familiar with the beat literature of the world, the precepts and Imagery of the Bible are the first to come and the longest to Unger, it U because they summarize and sublimate all knowledge and all experience: The Bible is the poor man's greatest university. for it is absolutely free, and It fulfills the highest ideal of education—” character and knowledge together. Americans for Consular Offices. The state department will do well to substitute Americans for foreigners In all consular offices, says the Providence Journal. No doubt citizens of the country may act very well as agenU for another power in ordinary circumstances, but the arrangement is a makeshift at beat If. however, such a change is to be made the need of establishing the consular service on a reform basis is more imperative than ever. The right men will not easily be found for responsible posts unless there is security of tenure and a prospect of promotion. There is no reason why the Lodge bill or some similar measure Ybould not be passed, unless the disinclination of congress to make further inroads upon the spoils system be counted gs such. "His name rJpfiffJYe called Wonderful. Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." "What's In a namely has been asked in irony. Ah! Everything when there is character behind the namt. The titles which the Holy Spirit gave to Jesus 700 years before HU advent are expressive of His character. Interpret Jesus through Hts titles and then let Jesus become the exponent and definition of these titles The Gospels spell In marvelous fullness and accuracy the name*. Wonderful. Counsellor, the Mighty God. the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

Moet of us will probably agree with (he army woman who anewera Gen. Corbin with the statsaea^ that flic a moath U saffideat for aa oa. barring foolish aad

ST.. PETERSBURG. Dec. 20.-'tb« emperor's fete day passed without any untoward demonstrations in SL Petersburg. but was marked by a continuation of tbe Moscow disqrders. though they were not so serious ss on Sunday.
