1 t th What is needed at present is someone to shut down the tloodgates of linguistic corruption and save a magmificent lanâ€" guage and literature from lapsing into an Angloâ€"Saxon Yiddish,. Brander Matâ€" thews and his collaborers, instead of hurâ€" ryingz on this process, ought to be enâ€" gagec in pleas to writers and publishers to eschow the current vandalism and save what is left of pure English. This determination to hurry radical changes in the English language is douâ€" bly obnoxious because .¢ is the exact opâ€" Pogito» to what is needed. The language is boing changed already at a fearful «ate. Every newspaper and magazine that issues from the press is defaced with hideous solecisms which are _ on their way to accoptance as good Engâ€" lish. The very professors of rhetoric in the universities publish essays and books which, so far as grammar and rhetorie are concerned, can only be termed barâ€" barous. onwards and upwards, The little worries stop us and how often we take the wrong turning and progress is hard to make. It is so impossible to ever dream _ of reaching the uplands, far less the cloudâ€" erowned top. In our hopelessness and our weariness we forget who made the stanâ€" dard. He who knows our frame and remembers what we are. He trod the way for u. braving and conquering death, making possible through His enduring perfection and love what was impossible for us with the burden of our human inâ€" with struggling. He knows your weakness with struggling, e knows your weakness and is able to present you faultless, yes, riect. When we awake we shall see gim Who is the fullness of all earthly perfection .and through that perfection we will be perfect, for we shall be like Him.â€"Janet Gray. "Be Ye Perfect" : Looking at this standard that is to be our aim, the goal we are to strive for, we are reminded of one of the almost inaccossible mountain peaks where trayâ€" clers seldom reach; a region of perpetual snow. There is nothing limited or parâ€" tial in this height for those whose sight is true, it is the topmost point where nothing earthy mars the whiteness. No lower peak will do, not even the perâ€" fection of all the goodness _ that has climbel before is enough; human _ exâ€" amples that Aave come _ to us down through the ages, fascinating, and let it be whispered, discouraging us with the overpowering nobility of their lives. We know that even their height seems imâ€" possible and does not attract our efforts in their direction. But the height of heights, the invisible peak where _ the glory is hidden behind a veil compels and draws our wandering gaze until we are dazzled with the mystery behind. The way is rough and we cannot always see the top. Not always are we climbing P the oniy way in the end there may be many answers to the social questions which are toâ€"day perplexing men, but they all must be religions. that is, they all must stand in a definite relation to Jesus Christ. And men outside the church are coming to realize this as they never did before. The profound respect shown by this anudience of workingmen for the name of Christ is a hopeful sign. If the church really represents Christ. and can make the people understand that _ she stands for Him. that she represents the Such was the title applied to the Masâ€" ter of Men Himself in an address delivâ€" ered not long since before a large asâ€" sembly of working men in one of the cities of the United States.

The incident made a deep impression upon us as we read it. If told us many things and pr,eâ€"eminently this one, that if the Christ can be really brought face to face with the average man he must succeed in winning his appraval, _ if not His devotion and his life. And that eurely is the one thing that the church has to doâ€" to present Jesus in such a way to ever man that each will see and recognize in 1%.. the one for himself.

"The postmaster goes from one resiâ€" dent to another and induces each one to buy from him all the stamps he uses. By this manoeuvre he assures the perâ€" manence of the post office at that parâ€" ticular village, although there has mot been the slightest increase of business to justify it. This plan of engraving the ‘mames of the city of issue on postage stamps i» mot entirely new, as it has been followe& in Mexico for years. In Liberia also the names of fire of the principal towns are emgraved upon the stamps. "‘Now,‘ he says, ‘you use a couple of dollars‘ worth of stamps each day in your business in the city. Supose that instead of getting them there you purâ€" chase them of me. I will get credit for the sale, and the postal business there will appear to be picking up.‘ "This is a reasonable proposition; the resident doesn‘t care to be deprived of the convenience of a nearby office, and e he falls in with the plan. "The result is that the next time the inspector comes around he finds that a material increase has takem place in the sale of stamps, and will then say to himself: ‘Well, this little place «eems to be growing. IT‘ll just wait and see albout that tural delivery idea.‘ ‘The welcome announcement of Mr. Rocksâ€" feller himselft that heate mince ple on Thanksgiving day without discomfort indiâ€" eates unmistakably. a hvgflul improvement lin the condition of hfs stomach and it should ‘subdue any fearsâ€"or hopesâ€"which mmay have been entertained regarding the eanure of his lifc. _ ""Well, along comes a postal inspector, books the receipts and records over, and comes to the conclusion that the buseâ€" ness done does not justify the maintenâ€" ance of a post office. Then he tells the poutmaister that there is a possibility of puttinz the settlement on the rural deâ€" livery list. "The postmaster goes to one of the rvmn'mnt residents and tells him of the ikel@hood of losing the post office. "The same proposition is made to two or three other rscidents of the Ipace. They also agree, _ _ * "There are many small places having post offices to which they are mnot enâ€" titled by the amount of mail matter that passes through the office. For instance, take a small cluster of houses located mot far from the city. Say they have a postmaster, and the number of lettern passing through each day is small. "By this means the Governmment will be able to find out just how much busiâ€" mess is being done in certain minor offiâ€" ces whore the postmaster‘s salary deâ€" pands upon the amount of stamps he sells, and there is still another use to which the new plan can be put. ‘Chicago suffers in the same way, as do most of the offices in the larger cities where extensive mail order business is done. "These stamps remain right here in the city and are transferred to smaller houses in part payment, and soon afterâ€" ward the stamps are doirg duty on mail sent through the New York office, but for which that office gets not a cent in revenue. "It is no exaggeration to say that New York City‘s Post Office does millions of dollars worth of business eevry year for which it gets absolutely no creditâ€"that is, as far as the sale of stamps is conâ€" cerned," said Joseph S. Rich, an authorâ€" ity on stamps. "Hundreds of mail order houses each day receive from outâ€"ofâ€"town points thousands of dollars worth of stamps, all of which are bought at inâ€" terior post offices. But this is only one of the purposes the change is expected to serve, say stamp authorities. _ Another is to enable the Post Office Department to determine the amount of business done by the difâ€" ferent post offices. 8 o A great deal of complaint has been made in the past in the ground that certain offices were doing a very much greater volume of business than they were credited with doing, and postmasâ€" ters have had more or less trouble in showiny, that they needed increased facilâ€" ities for handling their mails, as in the opinion of the Congressional committees having the matter in charge the receipts from the sale of stamps did not warrant the increase. At one time the authorities thought they had found a clue to the robbers. A Chicago mail order house a couple of years after the robbery received a $5,000 mail order, in payment of which was tendered a package containing the amâ€" ount of one and two cent stamps. The order being so unusual in character, the head of the firm informed the United States authorities, and efforts were made to find out from whom the order had come, but without avail. It was regardâ€" ed as fairly certain that these stamps were a part of those taken from the Chicago post office, but there was no way of proving it. & _ The chief reason for the change is said to be the belief that it will help to do away with the big post office robberies and make it much easier to trace the criminals. The post office robbery in Chicago a few years ago is a good exâ€" ample of the ease with which stolen postage stamps can be disposed of, for no trace of the perpetrators was ever discovered, although stamps worth nearâ€" ly a hundred thousand dollars were stolâ€" en; and these mostly of small denominaâ€" tions. (New York Sun.) _ A number of reasons have been sugâ€" gested to explain the fact that all the United States postage stamps for 1907 to be issued from the 6,000 Presidential post offices will bear each the name of the State and city in which the post ofiice is situated. Twentyâ€"six of the 6,â€" 000 post offices will have these names engraved upon their stamps, while in the case of the other post offices the names will be printed across the face of the stamps after they have been enâ€" graved. _ _ Hsegeys Fhecive They Will Bear the Names of NOVEL STAMPS FOR 1907 Fears and Hopes Set at Rest 11.
