World'. Fair. COMMITTER ON WOMEN'S WORK. The necessity for more space re quites the removal of the office of the Committee on Women's Work to the above address where, after February 15th, all atticles intended for exhibi tion at the World's Fair will be re ccived, classified, examined by experts stored, and rcshipped to Chicago. The Chairman of each County Committee is expected to gather together the ex hibits, and as none but articles of su perior merit will be accepted at the Columbian Exposition, she is rarncst ed requested to select a competent committee of women to examine each class of exhibits before sending them to Philadelphia or to Pittsburgh, in order that all inferior work may be promptly rejected. By so doine need less trouble and the expense of trans portation will be avoided It will not be necessary to nack separately goods of different descrip tion, as they must be classified after reaching Philadelphia or Pittsburgh un Aiarcn aom and 21st, a com mittee of experts from different parts 01 tne state win meet at the office to judge of the Art Needlework. No articles of whatever nature will be re ceived after March 15th, and only inose lor wnicn application tor space has been made should be sent. All exhibits must be plainly marked with the name and address of the owner, and sent by express C. O. D, Chairmen ot the following counties are requested to send all exhibits to Miss Mary h. McCandless : Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Blair, Butler, Cambria, Clarion, Clearfield Crawford, Elk, Erie, Fayette, Forest, Greene, Indiana, Jefferson, Lawrence, McKean, Mercer, Somerset, Venango, Warren, Washington, and Westinore land, while the remaining forty two counties will send to the Philadelphia othce, all exhibits to be delivered on or before March 15th. The necessary change of address has delayed the sending out of this circular. The office, 1 a 24 Arch Street, will be retained for meetings of sub-corn mittees. Applications lor its use can be sent to 102 South Twelfth Street, In order that proper publicity be given to this circular, the Chairman of each County Committee is asked to furnish copies of it to local news papers. Matilda Hart Shelton, Vice-Chairman, Committee on Women's Work Mrs. J. Barry Colahan, Chairman of the Music Committee for Philadelphia county, has just given out for publica tion the following brief rules of the Board of Lady Managers about music in the Woman's Building during the Exposition : A committee, called an Advisory Committee on Music, shall be ap pointed in each State and Territory, which shall consist of the resident musicians in different sections of the State, so that candidates for vocal and instrumental examination may not be obliged to traverse great distances. It will be the duty of the Advisory Committee on Music to decide wheth er applicants are artists, amateurs or professionals, and whether their per formanccs are sufficiently good to either of the expert juries (vocal and instrumental) which will hereafter be appointed in Chicago by the Bureau of Music. The artists who are considered worthy of distinction by the expert juries appointed in Chicago will re ceive the honor of an invitation to per form in the Small Concert Hall, or in the Woman's Buildincr. during the World's Columbian Exposition. No money has been appropriated by the World's Columbian Exposition or by the Government of the United States, to defray the expenses of ap Dhcants who mav wish to appear in Chicago. The expert iuries (vocal and instru mental) to be appointed in Chicago will not hear applicants until the open ing of the World's Columbian Exposi tion on and after Mav 1. loot, an will hear no one without a letter of recommendation from her State Ad visory Committee on Music.

It is much more than the inaugura tion of a new President that we are to witness. It is the exit of a great poli tical party that for thirtv has been able bv its rontml nf oil branches of the Federal Government to put its ideas and policies into laws, or by its supremacy in some great branch of that Government to thwart the like efforts of its adversaries. Once only in this long period has the Pres: dency been wrested from its gras), and for one Congress only did its oppo nents uomroi me senate. It goes out of power with scant nros. pects of speedy or permanent return. The issues which called it into beinir and on which it speedily rose to power have forever passed away, and it is to day the representative of no politics that have in themselves either vitality or growm. 11 can at best hope for future accidental and transient suc cess through the bickerings, the blun ders, or the faithlessness of its oppo nents. It would be rash to say that during this long supremacy the Repub lican party nas not done deeds that will be great in history or produced men who have added to the elorv of their country. No party ever wielded such absolute and tremendous civil or military power as it wielded durine the first years of its rule, and no party ever controlled with higher hand and haughtier sway every branch of the government than it did for the 10 years that followed the close of the war. The boasted management of oublic r. .1 , r .. 1111um.es uunng anu auer tne war is now seen to have been wasteful in the extreme and guided by incorrect prin ciples, and we have not ceased, even yet to pay the penalties of that waste- lulness and blundering. Its states manship in dealing with the problems of reconstruction is discredited by the e . .1 . 1 f . . .. . iact mat mucn 01 us legislation was set aside by its own Supreme Court as violative 01 tne constitution, and the rest of it bore fruits that in the end appalled its own authors. Party sup remacy, not philanthropy or the public good, was the motive that caused it to put the ballot in the hands of the negro. 1 ne Driei ana spasmodic re action that elected President Harrison aslo gave the Republicans control of both houses of Congress. They made zealous use of that control to put, or to attempt to put, on the statute book a series of distinctive partisan meas ures. These were the McKinley bill carrying the doctrines of protection to an extreme never aavocateu Dy any party in this country before ; the Bounty and Subsidy bills, most offen sive specimens of class legislation ; the Dependent Pension bill, that has add ed already nearly half a million pen sioners to tne roils and several score millions of dollars to the yearly bur dens of the taxpayers, to say nothing of the demoralization wrought by such a bill throughout the land : the Sher man silver bill, another example of class legislation for political purposes under whose operation we have speed ily advanced to the edge of a financial and industrial panic. Nor would this catastrophe be complete without refer ence to the violent partisanship and disregard of the right of minorities, which made the House a theatre of turbulence and disorder in the Reed Congress and precipitated upon the Senate the memorable and perilous contest over the Force bill. By all these things the Republican party earned the hostility of the American people, showed itself destitute of any sense of the tendency of things, and unable to grow with the growth of the country and the broadening spirit o its people. In continuing to wave the bloody shirt a quarter of a century after the war closed, to champion the most ultra protection in th face of the in intelligence of modern times and the erowins knowledge of commerce, to shovel out pensions from the people'i taxes, to hundreds of thousands who incurred no disability in the service to scoff at the rights of the States to local self-government and to threaten the people with a For:e bill in all these things the Republican party has shown itself out of touch and out for sympathy with the spirit of the day, and goes into banishment the cus todian of a mere lot of past and dis carded rubbish, which has no promise of a future life and power.

THE NEXT MOHNINOTr US if II 7fH a,3T I w m CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Toplo For the Weelt llettlnnlng March 19. Comment by lie. 8. II. Hoyle. Topif!. Nile!ted opportunities. The loss to other; to ourselves. Est. lr, 14; Heb. U, 1-8. Neglected opportunities. All who have ranched any advanced stage of life know from experience) what neglucted opportunities are. All along tho path way of the past are strewn the wrecks of possibilities to do good, to rnceive good and to Impart good jKjBsibilities which were ours once, bnt which now bare gone forever. In onr topical refer ences we have two plimtos of neglected opportunities placed before us the loss resulting to others and tho loss resulting to ourselves from this neglect to ntilife the possibilities for good that have boon beforo ua. 1. The loss to others (Est. iv, 14). It Is false to supiose that tho result of our actions, bo they of omission or commis sion, end with onrsclves. The enemiea of the Josua have perfected a plot by which they are to be destroyed. Esther as queen is possibly the only one who can save them. But to do so she must risk her own life. The opportunity of great good is before her, but if she neg lect the opportunity, what then? Disaster to herself, and not only to herself, bnt to her loved ones, for Mordecai truthfully said,"If thou altogether holdoet thy peace at this time, thon and thy father's house shall be destroyed." By her neglect ruin would also come to the loved ones of her homo. This is the nni versa! rule of action or neglect. No one lives to him self. Consciounly or unconsciously our every action affects some one else. So it is with our neglects. The neglect of the parent to accept Christ may cans the child to neglect him. The neglect of the Christian to live consistently may cause thoso who make no profession to ignore Christianity. Whatever tho op portunity may be, to neglect it means disastrous effects not only to ourselves, but to others. Influenced by this fact, let tis, like Esther, not neglect golden opportunities, but rise to every emer gency and make the best of every possi bility we meet. 2. Tho loss to ourselves (Heb. ii, 1-8). Neglected opportunities also bring loss to ourselves. The writer of Hebrews here warns his readers against neglect of obe dience to Chritit on the ground that if they neglected it they could not escape the result. His argument is that the neg lect to obey angels has always been pun iahed,ond that since Christ is greater than angels, as shown in the preceding chap ter, "bow shall we escape if we neglect so great salvationr He does not answer his question because there can be but one answer. If we neglect, we cannot escape. Those who neglected angels' words fonnd no escape. Those who neglect Christ's way of salvation will find no escape. The foolish virgins found none. The door was shut, and though they clamored for admit tance it never opened again. It is a sad and awful thought that by mere neg lect the soul may be lost, yet it is true. May such a thought lead us to the firm resolve that as for us we will not neg lect our salvation I Bible Beferences Lev. iv, S; Prov. xxiv, 80-34; xxvi, VI; Math, xxiii, 83; Luke ziii, 24, 25; John xii, 85; Bom. ii, 18; I Thess. v, 1-0; Gal. vi, 10; Heb. x, 28, 20; xii, 25; Jas. i, 23-25; Rev. iii, 3.

If you don't know where to look for the month's rent, yead Psalm xxxvii. If you feel lonesome and unprotected, road Psalm xci. If the stovepipe has fallen down and the cook gone off in a pet, put up the pipe, waah your hands and read Jas. iii. If you find yourself losing confidence in men, read I Cor. xiii. If people pert you with hard words, read John xv. If you are getting discouraged about your work, read Psalm exxvi and Gal. vi, 7-0. If you are all out of sorts, read Heb. xii. -Selected. What Christian Endeavor Is. What is Christian Endeavor for? It is to bring glory to God m the highest and on earth peace, good will to men that earliest definition of the gospel that sounded over this earth of ours the morning tho star shone over the fields of Bethlehem. That is what Christian En deavor is for in the home, in the fami ly, in the church, in the city, in the state, in the nation, in the world, until it shall lift up its voice in every quarter of this entire world of ours, singing praises to God and good will to men ev erywhere. Rev. George H. Wells, D. D. Christian Endeavor Kotcs. It was at Meriden, N. H., that Dr. Clark, founder of tho first Christian En deavor society, prepared for college, graduating at Kimball Union academy in 1860. Dartmouth college, his alma mater, conferred upon him tho honorary degree of doctor of divinity in 1889. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1873 and from Audovcr Theological seminary in 1876. At the famous meeting of the New York Christian Endeavor conference it was resolved to recommend to the socie ties the adoption of the suggestion of the domestic board that our societies endeavor to douato each year to the church building fnnd an amount suffi cient to build at least ono church edifice in some needy home mission field. Tho work is growing in Oklahoma. New societies aro constantly being or ganized, and good meetings are being held. A wcrkrr writes, "Wo have not the good spoukurs nor the fine places of worship that others have, but God is here just the same." It is expectod that a solid Christian Endeavor special train will be run from the Pacific coast to the Montreal con vention. Three cars will probably go from California and one each from Ore gon and Washington. The east muei look to her laurels or the west will out strip her in Endeavor enteroriae.
