Theta are radicals and radicals.
There are radical truths as well be
ridiCal errors. There le a radical-
ism the!. finds vent in anarchism—
.the destruction,of the existing order
of Wogs with its truths as well as
its errors. It is the privilege of all
men to hold thee() views; it is the
duty of none. The man who is
radically opposed to, that is would
eradicate monarchal inetitutions ie
opposed to what is approved by the
Word of God, The Almighty is
a monarch. The difference between
the Supreme monarch aud the mon•
arch of au earthly govern.
mut is that the former is the maker
as well as epsomite of all law, while
(he earthly monarch can t•make no
laws.
In political ethics a monarch is
the supreme tuagietrate of a people
or natiou. The Queen of Great
Britain is a monarch; the President
of the United States ia a monarch,
only. a more absolute one than the
Queen. There is more teudeucy to
the arbitrary use of the monarchal
or supreme power in republics than
there is in what are called mouarch•
ies• A radical who would credit:ate
tuonatchal institueione, irrespective
of their fitness to ell'ect the greatest
good for the greatest number of
of people over whom they prevail,
to be cunsieteut would also eradicate
what is celled reeublicen institu-
tions, irrespective of whether they
c,iuduce to the greatest good of the
greatest number of people subject
to them.
• A inan who ie opposed to mon-
archal institutious is opposed to
civil eider and the protection 'ol
the tveak against the strong ; is op•
pOecal to the rule of the masses
;Against that or the classed.
The enost successful instance of
the benefit of republican rule to be
found in the history otthe uations
of the world is found in the history
of monarchal Britaiu.
The monarchal government of
Britaiu is the happiest, evolution of
republican rule—rule by the people
and for the people—that has ever
emanated from the experience and
continual s1ogress of a free people.
The British onarc s a common-
wealth ; a state in whI1P the sove-
reign power is lodged in represen•
tatives elected by the people. The
very essence of the absolute power
of the people is shadowed forth in
the admitted powerlessness of the
sovereign—"The King can do no
wrong:" In the same light he can
du no good. Neither of these esti
mates of kingly power is literally
correct. A king can do right or he
can do wrong, but he can do neither
the oue or the other without the
sanotion of the people, the power
behind the throne, the representa-
tives elected by the people.
A rose by any, otherprne would
smell as sweet. But to many the
demagogic travesty of order as em-
bodied iu the popular phrase "re•
publican institutions" smells more
sweetly to them than does the genn-
ine republicanism embodied in
monarchal iustitutions which are tho
snore intriusically republican. It
may be said if the king can do
no good or harm why not relegate
such a headship to the limbo of
uselessness, and save the expense
attendant upon such a headship.
But he is necessary as the execetive
mouthpiece of those who can do
either good or hari11—of the repre•
seetetives of the people. The
mouatch can remonstrate against
what he conceivoe to be inimical
leg,islation. His objections will be
censidered. He is above the
tumultuous arcus of party strife
and may sometimes see clearer into
the legislation than his advisers,
and if he is right they will heed
him, but even then the legislation
is theire all the same. They alone
are responsible for it whether it is
good or bad. As to the uselessness
of a monarehal head at a great annu•
al expense. By parity ormazoning
the presidents or monarchal heads
of railway corporations or banking
institutions or of chu ch bodies, all
of which receive apparently ex-
horbitant salaries, are uselese, etc.
But in these cases as well as in
those of the heads of nations there
must bo some nomieal head that is
really responsible to the directors
or delegates who represent the poo-

history of Britain haethis been
proved. The lust exercise of .the

Eugland was when William 111 was
sleeted by the representatives of
the people in Parliammeut assem-
bled. No, we would net eradicate
monarchal institutions, for by so
doing we would eradicate the power
of the people. We are radical
enough to eradicate any evils re-
sulting from the abuse of the dele-
gated power of the people, but to
Bull down the pillars that support
monarchy would be ou a par with
the suicidal efforto of Saiuson of
old.
Modern monarchal institutions
aro the outcome of Christiau evolu-
Lien and ptogrees, if not coeval with
Ulnistianity itself. Modern mon-
archal institutious are the perfec-
tion of republicanism, broadening

There ie au advantageous difference
of British moue' dial republican titati.
tutious over American republican
monarchal institutiens. British
tepublicanism is not curtailed ; it
hits uo finality. TheeThitisli systen
is a condition ; an ever changing
euuditiou. Aud as the Cilittim-
slatICeS Werra:IL the C011etitilliOti,
an unwritten ono, is chauged to
suit them. The theory of the Brit-
ish constitution is the same as it was
hundreds of yea's ago. its actual-
ity has changed from .time to time,
and will continue to do bo, in sym
pathy with the immense forward
irides the ,people make under its
butreficeut genuis. No belaboring
ender it to make a square stick fit a
rimed hule.
Ou the other hand the A teri
eau written constitution is con-
sidered a finality, almost. What
the framers or it did .not knoiv
was scarcely worth knowing. lu
theory it was an inetruntent to
govern a free people while it made
slavery legal. For generations the
Ainerican people whittled trying to
wake actual slavery square with
the theory of freedom embodied in
their constitution. The crash came
and milliobs of men and billions of
money were sacrificed to make the
conditions equarki with the theory.
Many years previous British
monarchal republicanism had quiet-
ly and naturally embodied iu the
un written constitution;of the Empire
recognition of modern conditions
which the inelasticity of the Ameri-
can written Constitution made
no provision for but which
was accomplished by an atroci
ou s civil war unexampled in
the history of nations for its ferocity
and inhumanity.
British monarchal republicanism
virtually says ; 'If the constitution
does not square with existing con-
ditions Perlienient will pass laws
which shall make it do so,' and those
laws immediately become pert of the
constitution. Our constitution has
no finality. American republican
monarchism is continually hampered
by the finality of their written con-
otitution. Their Parliament, Con-
gress, cannot exceed the limits of
their coastitution. That is they
are bound by a written compact of
their old fogy forefathers of a
eentury ago. Modern conditions
must be squared with ancient theory;
the body of the matured man must,
be aqueezeal into the pinafore of the
youth. The British monarchal idea
is constantly expanding as also are
the condltione of the people. There
is no attempt made to put the
British giant of to -day into the small
clotheof the British youth of a
century ago. British monarchal
institutions are of generous propore
tions and are continually enlarged to
meet the generous growth of a peo-
ple who excel all others in the
science of goverument, as well as
in all other sciences, and in in
tellectual and material magnitude.
The man who is radically opposed to
monarchal institutions, as exempli
tied in the history of Britain, must
be opposed to the teachings of the
Word of God and to the betterment
of the conditions of the human family
his world and their spiritual
p ation for the world beyond.

Miss Minie Cantelon, Secretary
Clinton, writes Onward as follow :—
Our Mission Circle was organized in
March, 1690, by Mrs. Dettor, whose
deep interest in missionary work
inspired us with somembf her zeal.
At present our membership numbers
thirty. Our meetings are held
monthly, and we have found that the
interest of our circle has been
maintained by having something
definite t0 work for. Owing to Miss
Welsh, one °four members, teaching
at the St. Clair Mission, our efforts
have been centered there. "'two
boxes of clothing have been aent,
and when their thus h was being
repaireel•vre sent $5, which we since
learned bought the new pulpit. At
an open meeting held recently, a
very interesting address was given
by Miss Whitfield, who has lately
returned froin, Africa. It is our
present intention to defray the ex-
pense of educating a Chinese girl for
three years. ..We feel that even our
smallest efforts in advancing Christ's
kingdom have been blessed, and we
are anxious that a deeper interest
will be awakened in more of our
young people during this year.

The apple packing businese is stilt in
full blast here, many farmers baying 50

pretty well, at the same time the trade is
not carried on to give ssaiafaction to the

apples have been picked two weeks be-
fore thetpackere "got around" and the
coneequeoce is about half tho apples are
not fit for shipment, and both parties are

ed at the different orchards per agree-

there is a screw loose somewhere, and if
