Strongly in contrast with the action | of the Connectic 4 of mediatior and arbitration in attempting to ad- | just strike situations, is the action of | the federal board of mediation and conciliation and the New York state labor department. Even before the | strike on the Delaware & Hudson rail- road had been opened officials from | these boards had exerted their in-| fluence in an endeavor to reach an agreement without cntering upon the strike, and failing fn that hastened to get in touch with the leaders for the early adjustment of the trouble | The Delaware & Hudson strike is | a much larger affair than Connecticut | has been threaiened with and a great | deal more is inveived, but the neces- | sity of adjustment exists in one as in | the other. | The example of the service which is | called for by the office and which | should be rendered is furnished by the | efforts which these officials have al- | ready made In goirig to the aid of the New York situation. eedless to say | it 18 the same erfdeavor which the board | of mediation and arbitratlon In the | stats of Connecticut should make whenever occasion requires.

A gréaver senwse of security in the conduct of private institutions will in the long run ben- efit them as well as thelr customers. The private banker who is doing DBusiness on a proper basis has nothing to fear from state supervision, While those who are not, fording the proper protection to the depositors should be required to have it. It should overcome the wildcat methods of banking and give greater assurance of stability and that cer- tainly is due the depositor. PERSONAL AND AUTOMATIC SER- VICE, Now that it has been established that the loss of the steamer Cobequid and the threatening of the lives of over ome hundred people was caused by the failure of an automatic iight on the dangerous Trinity ledge, there is Fur- nished an instance for comparing the value of the man-tended light with the self-operating. What extinguished the gas buoy is impassible to tell, but it was located where it would receive harsh treatment from the wind and waves and even after it had been dis- covered that it was out, it was the ad- ditional time required which left the dangerous guarded for the Cobequid far off its ure The every spot un- which went irse by reason of its fail- automatic apparatus most character is a complicated ar- angem It is in many instances almost human, but it lacks that im- portant requirement of setting things right when something throws it out, of gear.

Tt is no new discovery which has been made as fo the onditidn or as to the need have existed for a long time and even to the length that the state militia n many instances has come to be pretty much of a social organization and less of a working force in many | states. It is to the credit of Con- | necticut that it has done much mor than other states fo conform to the provisfons of the Dick law the militia service in some of the com- | monwealths has been much in the na- | ture of a joke, Tt is but proper therefore that soma | determined and persistent effort should | be made to remove the detrimental | conditions. Tn order to bring the mil- | itla to its highest standard it should conform to the government require- ments and thereby obtain the govern-. ment a1d. Unless it does so conform it is of but little benefit as a reserve fevce. The enforcement of the Dick law will be an excellent step in that direction, but there are many provi- sions in the new militia Dill which are intended to still further increase the efficfency of the volunteer forces. | Wherever the national guard has suf- fered from neglect, there is the great- est need of attentfon, but as long as it exists anywhere it chould be on a footing which would be an asset to the nation as well as the state. PRIVATE BANKS. The disposition which is being man- ifested by the private banking houses in New York to submit to such super- vision as the state may consider neces sary to protect the depositor indicates only such a situation as might be ex- pected by banks which are doing and expect to continue to do a well regu- lated and sound business. These in- titutions could afford on their own initiative to invite such inspection and supervision as 1s required in the sav- ings banks, A bank to many people is a bank, whether it 1s & private bank paying savings bank interest, or & savings bank and ss the New York Tribune says: “Many emall depositors doubt less fail to see the difference between these institutlons and savings banks in the strict sense, and it would not only protect the public, but would probably popularize the private banks to have it known that the latter insti- tutlons were also safeguarded against mismanagement.

But, what is the case? | I have before me his second letter, | entitled, “Provigg his Statements.” { wherein he brings forward no s=light est evidence from any of the sources ! e Siee proofs * The first | that he. has actual truth of his_statements. asserts he has ‘“actual that the churches are exalting “creed’ | and “dogma” at the expense of the | Christian life, and he has “actual knowledge” that this is the reason | why “people in general” do not at | tend church. Now, certainly, that is pretty large assertion, especially unsupported a title of ev e: Dbut I submit it is no “proof.” Doubtless, if “seeker” were known to me to be an acknowleged expert in this matter, and I had had_occasion to test his accuracy d found it meeting the test, I should be in- | clined to give some weight to his as- “actual knowledge,” though such a case, 1 should feel to give some weight to | counter-evidence.

Under these cir- { cumstances, perhaps “seeker” will j pardon me for saying that 1 cannot | regard his assertion of “actual knowl- edge” as, at the most, anything more than evidence that he is convinced that he has “actual knowledge.” But, as 1 could bring man¥ competent witnesses who would be ready (o as- | that they have “actual knowi- of the very opposite of what 4 states, I certainly cannot be expected to accept his assertion of “actual knowledge” as a ‘“proof” of | the truth of his statements. But “seeker” proceeds to give his “best proof” in the words of our Lord, “By their fruits ve shall know them. and 1 am bound to say that, in pplication of these words, ‘Seeker ! has given us one of the amples of “westing” the that 1 have ever happened across For, what does he do?

The passage is as follows: “Heware of false pro- phets, who come 1o vou sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ve shall know them, Do men gather apes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even every good tree bringeth forth sood fruit; but the corrupt trea forth evil frult. A good tree cannot Dbring forth evil frult, neither can a corrupt tree Dring forth good fruit. Tivery tree that bringeth n#t forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire, Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Now, observe, Christ is here (elling His disciples and the multitude how they are to from u true. And what of the matter? It is that the Drophet’s inner nature or character may be ascertained by the character of “his words, He may wear sheep’s clothing, of the is_the gist time he is, in heart and purpose, as eage wolf.” But, if, s0, his inner nature will be sure, sooner or later, to man- ifest itself in his outer life ‘and con- duct; for “a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” hypocrite, in time, becomes unto his fellow-men. and inner integrity manifest them- selves in a man’s life and words, so an evil heart and inner baseness can- not but in time do_ likewise.

If such things were the “tests” for ‘every bellever,” isn’t it strange that more was not made of them in the New Testament? But, {0 go a step fur- { ther. where in the New Testament can | “seeker” find these miraculous works spoken of as “frults,” ot as the “tests of every believer”? We are told sev- eral times in the New Testament what the fruits ot Christian belleving and living are. For example, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfui- ness, meekness, 'self-control”; and again, “The fruit of the light is in all goodness and _righteousness and truth” We read of the “fruits of { righteousness” and of “fruit of holiness” and these are set forth as the “fruits” required of the Christian | believer. |~ What, then, about the passage | quoted ' from '8t. Mark? The word translated “sign” in this passage is one of the three words used in the New Testament to signify a miracle {or a wonderful work. The aposties and some others of the early Christians were endowed with miraculous powers for the special work of founding the Church and_establishing the Christian religion in the face of a world which was not only exceedingly hostile, but | exceedingly skeptical and corrupt | ; “Except ve see signs and wonders, {1 have named.
