PRACTICAL SURVEY,
Toplee-Tree and False Liberality,
I. Selfish ambition reproved.
If. True and &leo liberality.
Jesuit always aesoelated the two
vital facts of his redemptive work,
which tenet remain the essentials of
the gospel message, hie death and his
resurreetion (1, Cor. 15: 3, 4). The
latter illuminating and assuring truth
his disciples could not grasp until its
accomplishment. Hence what was
essential to the fulfilment of their
Messianic hopes seemed their destrue-
tion. The transfiguration scene,
nn-
knowzj as yet to the body of the
dieeiples, was iosufficient to ateure
even the chosen witnessee.
1. Selfish ambition reproved, The

claims had been the subject of their
inoaportune and unprofitable con-
troversy during the return journey to

after his pointed Inquiry, the matter
was referred to Jesus for decision
(Matt. 18: a). It was all unspealrobly
incongruous with the occasion and
with the Master's meditations.. Jesus
rebeked their selfish ambitions by an
obJect lesson more compretteneive and
Conclusive than any direct reproof or
admonition could have been. The
humility, simplicity and trustfulness
of unsullied childhood is the king-
dom standard: and Matthew elde

also extracts from the latest speeches
at Cicero and the freshest epigrams of

coated with chalk (album). As we
have seen It pictured in that third

lack of a printing press was surely it
fortunate eircumstance, since it goes
far to account for the epigrammatic
terseness of tlie Latin style, far the
delightful endeavor te express in one

which relate to Vies° "Acta Poplin,"

of a nature to interest the public,

Fortunately theyntre told in Latin, in
which language they fled best remain.
The more ordinary relate to public af-

eine of the city by the erection of a
new wall. Lampridus tells us that he
got his idea of the fulsome adulation
with which the Senate acclaimed Alex-
ander Severus from the -current issue
02 this daily paper, a .document ethic!)
must have been, approximately epeak-
ing, 100 years old when, Lampridlies
saw it, and mendaeious at) that. n'here
were extracts -from the new laws, de-
cisions relating to provinces, and,
naturally, naturally, passages from the
diseourses of the god of Rome,
tinder the emetre there was the
Court Circular, which tchronicled the
various doings or tbe imperial house,
the approttaing accouchements, the
progresses ,the funerals; not, howeyer,
the likelihood of the Emperor's death,
as it was only the unwise astrologer
who woult1 care to draw such a bow
at a venture. The Emperor Corinne-
dus, so Lampridius aesures us (not
that his knowledge was above suspic-
ion), was inordinately proud .ot kis
achievements in the arena. No mat-
ter whether he ,were last in the race,
it was to hini that the palm was
awarded, or .rather he awarded the
palm to himself, and then quite =g-
out the details of the wage scale or
nifieently shouted, "Commodes Caesar,
victor in the race, gives his crown to
the people of Boma."
Then there were the faits -divers, all
the bits of information in the cite'.
Pliny •cites the newspaper amounts of
the efuneral cre the cele-
brated jockey, Felix. The ereetion,
fall and rastoratioh of public buildings
were redorded, so were the births,
marriages and divorces in illuatriohe
families; likewise prodigies and call-
osities. The same flirty sneers ef-
fusively about the record of a line ...of
titles, anti because in another plan an
old priest swore thatthe had seen tae
arrival of the first phoenix in. Rome.
Petronlus gives us an admirable par-
ody of what the Roman got in his
daily paper. It was during a feast at
the house of that ostentatious plutocrat
Trirnalchion, who ecr,far forgot his Im-
perfect veneer of aristocratic good
manners when ia hie ,cups as to de-
scribe the origin et his wite, much to
that lady's discomtort, tor sho was
still climbing assiduously and did not
anPrecite being thus given away in
public. When Trimalcbion was sober
he eould think of little else save how
beet to impress the world with his
magnineence, and, in consequeace,
Used to send for his actuary, wins read
to the company a sort of proceee ver-
bal (tanquara urbis acta.), of .which the
following is a translation:
"VII. Cal Jul: There were born on
the domain' at puma°, which belongs
to Trirnalehion, 30 boys and 40 ,girls;
500,000 bushels of wheat were traps -
ported from the fields to the granar-
ies; ,500 oxera were used for the trans-
port, On the same day. the elave
Mithradates was crucified for blas-
pheming the tutelary deity of Gales,
our master, The same day 4,000,000
seeterces were taken to the bank, be-
cause it was impossible to find it use
for this money. The same day there
was a fire in the gardens at Pompeii,
whieh originated in the residence of
the 'farmer Neste," etc.
The last mention of this Roman
daily ,sheet is in tho late days of the
empire. Vospleius, in hls "Life ot tile
Emperor Probus," knew ot its exist-
ence, after which time, it is thought,
it disappeared 'gotta with such other
literature as Constawtine and his new
advises touted incoMrenient.

"I hope the tint is not distant when
the powers will lee able to renew that
attempt with better prospects .of fine -

The Premier recounted briefly the
world's troubles, saying:
"Apart from Russia, the outlook is
good."
He spoke optimistigally .nt the set
tiement of the Adriatic and Turkislt
question which wine Russia, he said,
constituted the worTtlescave problems.
He recalled that exactly a year age,
at; the same boatel, he announced the
abaication of the German hareperer.
He did not believe that the new Well-
inforthed then expected that the en
ening year would 'bring suck Progress
toward a settlement as had been made.
The Pretaier, taking up the moot
difficult questions left for settlement,
-the Adria', 'Terkey and Ituesia- -
said:
"The Adriatic question has gathered
about it a deep paselon, but I ma
confident a settlement will be tpund
compatible with the interestsaud
honor of our gallant allies. On the
other hone, I am certain that justice
will be done the nations emancipated
from the Austrian yoke,"
. The Premier declared that there
waa eomplete agreement between the
allies that Turkish domination of the
Greeks, Arabs and Armeniansshould
end, and that the Eta& See should
be free to all nations.
"The .ouneek itt Russia is Un-

prospect of early issue, but to -day

series of matting campaigns, tlevaio
tating the couotry and the proimerny

"The allies gave an opportunity to
the Russian people to decide their
form of government, but unfortura
ately no section was ready. We have
given real 'proof of our sympathy to
the men of Russia who helped the
allied cause by sending 0110 hundred
