WHEELS! WHEELS! Bishop J. F. Berry in The Christian Advocate pleads that somebody shall arise and kill off the organization fiend. Declaring that an organization mania has taken possession of the church, the bishop says: “ Not much can be done until we have a president, vice-president, a secretary, and an executive committee. Then the thing we desire to do must be moved and seconded, and referred, and amend ed, and substituted, and officially auth orized by a formal vote. Still further, a committee must be appointed to carry out the mandate of the chief body. Ma chinery, machinery, machinery. Wheels and cogs, and pulleys, and levers, and lathes, and magnetos, and dynamos, and cylinders, and cylinder-rods, and cyclometers galore. How constitutions and by-laws and parliamentary rules have taken possession of us! How per sonality has been absorbed by the ma chine!” 1. Eternal redemption.......... Heb. 9:12 2.

mast on a little sailing vessel bound for India. As this old wind-jammer sailed up the river to Calcutta there was no more insignificant person aboard than the little Jew cabin-boy, who by this time knew that the sailor’s life was a mighty hard one. “ Yet this same Rufus is now return ing to this same India as viceroy. The vice-royalty of India is the most mag nificent post at the disposal of the Brit ish crown. The viceroy is clothed with oriental pomp, and he goes in greater state than the king of England, or the king of any other European country. Of all the governors-general sent out from England he alone carries the power of life and death. “ The Jew boy had worked his way up by sheer ability in the face of ob stacles and prejudice against his race. He became a clerk in shipping offices, a stock broker, a commercial lawyer, and finally went into politics. In this field he progressed gradually but steadily. He became a .member of parliament, then attorney-general, then financial ad viser to the cabinet in the great war, special ambassador to the United States, lord chief justice, and finally the lord of India. “ And on his way he picked up the bauble of nobility so cherished by small er minds. He was first made a baron, then a viscount and then an earl. At the end of his term of five years in the “ eastern kingdom he will presumably be made a marquis and receive the famous order of the garter. This distinction has been acheived by only one Jew, the brilliant Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Bea- consfield, who looked so well after Eng land’s interests at the great congress of Berlin and who adroitly secured for her the possession of the Suez canal. But Disraeli, to further his political career, joined the Church of England. Isaacs has not renounced the faith of his fathers.’ ’
