We ere living In the closing deendo of the
prentest century of our era: Faith nnd un
lalth have contended in the arena for the pre
cedence. Faith has an Immense backing In
her great past. That past forms pnsiump
Hou in her favor. The system which can live
through the changes and storms of eighteen
centuries must bo presumed t hnve in il th
seeds of Immortality. What is more remark
able than this is thn continuous growth ot t tic

The diMirs of thn nations have nciicd. Thn

The Dark Continent nnd thn 'isles of the

n noble lieglnnlng das hn-n made toward
tho world's evangelization. In tliosw great
years unbelief has taken upon itself to pro
claim a pessimistic Oospcl ami thn decay
and failure ot Christianity. These men
have often cullisl themselves scientists nnd
philosophers. Their misconception of thn
Oospcl discredits their assumptions of wlj
dom. Not to know the ndvaiiceof Ihe Oospcl
Is to assert their own blinduess and narrow
understanding. The age of miracles in n
new form has lcen renewed. In Its material
Interests and moral enterprises thn world ha
made greater advances in ours than In Ihe

The Hev. Sydney htiiHh, in Ids celebrated
article mi Metboilism, in the Edinburgh Co
view savs, among other things; "Ihe
Methodists am always more des rons of mak
ing men morn religious than il is possible,
from the constitution of human nature, to
make them." Even should we grant that this
charge were Irun.wn could not regard It ns be
ing a very yrave evil. Thu desire for musing
men superlatively religious, or even extra
superlatively, must certainly be a virtue. II
cnvpa ( general Ind this desire, the world
f1 would without doubt be a better pl ici'liV live
In. We fear that. In these .lays lit least, Ihe
cburge is not HUtllcleiitly true. Would that
them were a more eager desire on the part o
Methodists to pm-s men on to the extreme
lllliltsof rellyiousneis! Wiil I hose limits art
wn think It would bu hard to dellnc. We have

inoital men who ha-touched the topmost round

been a little better, Sidney S mill had an
apprehension that people Would le.lllV.'ll
insane by too much piety. As no look at tin
mutter, the danger is altogether on the
other side. At b'list nine ttini-s out of ten it
is too littlo religion rather than , li
that renders people ciay, O.tr clvllliilliill

Commenting iii llin gigantic evils attend
ll'.g the liipior trafllc in Africa, to which wn
call attention on another page, thn Now
York Observer says:
"Thn only remedy for tho evil is the
growth of a public sentiment in Europe and
America which will cmiiie tho riovern
uicnts having colonics in Africa to restrict or
prohibit the Iralll. . and iu concerted uctimi
on the part of the local administrations.
And il is on the Ir.idn side that pressure can
be exerted most eflei'lively. For nothing
has been morn clearly demonstrated than
that the trade iu spirits destroys ail other
trade. The native who buys liipior wants
nothing else. As the rum trallle grows, tho
trade in general goods dimiiii.-dics. the two
lining unalterably opposed to each other.
It has boon found that roads cut to promote
general t radii have been deprived of all
value w hen used to advance the liquor trallle.
Tun new markets opened have no trade but
that iu spirits, the slower growing but in tho
end far mom prolltabln triifih' lining sacrl
lleed lo IIm greed for ulck returns. From a
purely unsentimental point of view, thn un
wisdom of siilistitulitig oiin demand for thn
many certain to grow out of advincing
civilization should bo apparent. Every
trudn, therefore, desiring to extend Itself lu
Alrlc.i is iuternstnd in lighting thu liquor
trallle iu Africa; and such a force, acting
with mi uruusod Christian sentiment, should
go far to wipe out the iniquity. Considered
only on Its trade side, there is not a doubt
thai if alcolul wore kept out of Africa, (he
Irnllie develope.l in the uiitivn markets
would in ti.un yield a revenue to the Nations
many times greater than that now yielded
by tho Ihuior trade."
