Petersbese despatch. says that the press of lite elu,'Miatt capital "unites In demanding peeler:00n agamst tlto re- gime of assassination that lies been in- augurated by the reactionaries as well as by terroeists." This le a melancholy contnieliary en. th4 "strong handed re- form" pulley o! Premier Stolypin which was tv pacify the country, bring order out of chaos, crush the rov,lutionists and enable the government and moiety 1.1 proceed with the tusk Zt coustiluiiunul reorganization. 11 is a fact that the desperate caupaign of terror, whiel has been revived all along the line, com- pletely overehadows the other campaign supposed to be in progr,-s--the elec- toral. All the newspapers report abso- lute apathy on the part of the people, although the date of the eleetinns has been flxed, and there is no doubt of the convocation of another parliament. The liberal and radical parties are going through some perfunctory notions, hut of real, spirited, energeiio e0mpaigning there is no sign. Between the fact and the fury of the terrorists there is direct connection. During the first electoral campaign as well as during the dome's session re- volutionary activity, it will be recalled, was entirely suspended, The terrorists declared that they would give the gov- ernment a chance and the liberal parties time to lest the reality of the "constitu- Lionel" reforms. Now the revolutionists assert that there is no reason for contin- uing the truce. Stolypin's drumhead courts-martial, the daily executions, the suppression of meetings and news- papers, the outlawing by the premier of the constitutional democratic part;., .the best and most progressive of all the peaceful parties; the failure to punish official miscreants, Instigators of massa- cre and outrage—these and other things are held to absolve the terrorists com- pletely from extencdng any consideration whatever to the government. • But has not Stolypin granted a whole series of important reforms? The ans- wer of the revolutionists, as well as of the "legal" radicnis, is that the "re- forms" are dead letters, mockeries. The bureaucracy has done nothing to carry them into effect, and tyranny, not law, prevails throughout the empire. it is admitted even by the moderates that the Ministry has remained extremely un- popular: No party cares lo support It, none dares defend it. It is this general altitude which makes the terrorists so bold and so successful. By of re- taliation the "black hundreds" are planning acts of terror against (lie chiefs of the con.stitutionai movement, whom they accuse oe sympathy with revolu- tion. No wonder the press is pathetically repealing far protection. But what can the impotent government do? Hundreds of summary executions have not intimi- dated the revolutionists. A policy of honest and for -reaching reforms, in- cluding really free elections, would pla- cate the revolutionists, but the ministry is not strong enough to force such a policy on the court, 11 finds itself be- tween the devil and the deep sea.

Yet, bow many imagine that they are pro- fe mdly p`o'ns because they cherish pro- perly indorsed opinions, duly certified as to their antiquity. They who profess to follow the mal of Nazareth cannot do it by sitting in their pews or kneeling at their a}lain; they cannot do it by dreaming of a place of bliss or picturing one of tor- ment. One of the first lessons he gives his disciples Is that it is not he that speaketh the word, but he that doeth the will, - ' WI10 IS PLEASING TO GOD. Nor do men do his will in any, import- ant or complete sense by going lo church or serving fn its meetings or on its com- mittees. When a roan is ordained to divine orders, that fs, to give himself wholly to do the will and work of the most high, it is said that he becomes e minister. If minister means anything at ell it means servant, one who works Tor others, who ministers to there. The Master spoke of himself as being among men es one who served them. The only orthodox service is the service of hu- 01anIty.

The Book of Origins. — The Book of Genesis, as the 1111111e ln1plies, is primar- ily a book of origins, or beginnings. lin chaplet's 1 to 4 (his Js espe lolly evident. Here, following the story at the creation and the origin of the human race, we halo in order the account of the institu- tion of family lite, the presence of sin gr. the world, the tall of elan from a state of innocence, the custom of wearing clothing, the peculiar gait and habits of the serpent, the subject eandition (among ancient peoples) of woman, the beginnings of agriculture, the existence in the world of suffering and pain, the beginnings of oily 1110 polygamy, 11111.510, and metallurgy, and lire beginning of public worship of God. Not all the arts or institution known to the writer are explained, but typical examples are taken with wh.ch to construct the gen- emit picture at the moral and material progress o1 early man 115 conceived by the Hebrews. From the very beginning of the narrative, however, 11 Is evident that the dominant interest of the writer 11 religious and moral. 1t is not sefen- tiOc or historical (=enemy about, which the author is chiefly concerned, hut rather the ethical and religious signifi- cance of the fact that God is the Author and Source of all hangs, of mans con- sequent relation to God his Creator, and the place and task of own 111 the world, The author's aeoctmt of the fall of man from a stale of primitive innocence is wonderful both in its psychological in- sight and its poetic power. With equal skill he next portrays Ilio rapid down- ward progress of fallen man. Dis- obedience in the first parents became rmnefe0 01 their firstborn, and it is worthy of note Mot to the descendents of Ilio violent Cain "the arts and emeni- lies of `civilization" are traced (Gen. 4. 1-22). Thus, also, Ilio list song of the Old Teslnment is a song of nevengo .Gen. 4. 23, 24), though I}hls dant heel: - ground of cruelty is not unlit by n gleam of religion (Gen. 4. 20).

"'the Landon constabulary," said De- tective Burns this morning, "is a won- derful organization. The great city Is policed by about 17,000 men, There 1115 about forty Hien in Scotland Yard, which is something like 0111' detective head quarters, only vastly larger. In addi- tion to the plain clothes men in Scot - lend Yard Mere are about eight hun- dred plain clothes men sneered about the various police districts. "The London policemen work in eight hour shills, but, of course, the detec- tives cannot work on regular hours there any more than 111ey can Here. "What particularly impressed 1110 in England Is the universal respect of- all classes for the low and for Ilse police. London policemen and detectives go absolutely unarmed, 'J'11e people there have such regard for the police and the law they represent that °Otcers are not ubllg'd to carry espentonns, blackjacks Or revolvers. The only appliance they carry is a. smut) whistle, with which they can summon assistance, but even this is seldom used.
