is not to be localized or confined in manifestation to any one
time or place or individuality. Like the Father He is spirit,
th triflTiifpstatioTi of th Cod of sDirit and like God-must be
worshipped "in spirit and in truth." "He is the first born of
many brethren," but until the life and spirit which he man
ifested are incarnated in . our lives we are none of . His, .we,
are only worshipping Him as an ideal. Before we can have
the real Christ we must seek Him and find iHimmust have

to purify the heart, to save from sin, to establish His.throne
and His eternal ! kingdom. We really have no Christ, no

The above is not intended as a denial of the value of ideals

! If Sir Christopher Wren had not seen the new St. raui s
Cathedral in his mind's eye, if he had not had a mental pic
ture of its beauties both iiuthe aggregate and in detail, tne
reality would never have appeared upon the earth witn us
beiuty and symmetry to cultivate the aesthetic in millions
of men, to stimulate reverence in them and fall them to me
worship of God.- If the ideal of the Sistine Madonna had not
lived in the brain of Raphael before it became f reality, its
beauty never would have appeared in the worid or art to
delight the eye and appeal to the heart. And so t
Man must first exist for us in the ideal; without that we
should never be stimulated to strive for and finally to reacn
the reality. Only let us not forget that in religion as in ev
erything else ideals are valueless, they are but empty dreams,
until they are builded into realities; until they are actual
ized in our character and conduct ; until they, fill us with love
and the desire for service; until we make them vibrant with

I'HOTKCTIOX FOR BIBLES
Publishers in this country are
asking for a, high tariff on Bibles,
uo doubt as a protection against
the Bibles produced by the paup
er labor of Europe. So there; id
competition even, in the manufac
ture of the Word.' Los Angeles
Times. !
A number of years ago. alt. the
Bibles printed on so-called "Bjbie
paper' were made In England.
The paper, manufacturers of the
United States had not learned to
manufacture this very thin and
very strong paper.
The McKinley tariff law i Im
posed a duty of 25 per cent on
Bibles; that is,, on books of- that
class.
About the same time, an Amer
ican born in France, L'Enfant by
name, discovered a process "jol
binding supjjlor to any other, for
books desired to be opened flat.
A man now in Oregon, D. B. Sny
der of Pendleton, connected 'this
man, L'Enfant, up with a Bible
publishing house in New York,
and so the plates were brought
over to the United States, i ex
periments having already beep
carried on by some paper manu
facturers on this side In the tuni
ng out of the "Bible paper."; ilt
was found tnat tnis paper was
superior to that made in Europe.
From that time on, largely on
account of the imposition of , the
protective tariff duty, the making
of -Bibles in the United States
grew and soon became rue great
est industry in that line in the
world M
For the paper and the binding
were both superior, and the books
turned out In this country were
naturally preferred to the infer-
lor, books niad$ elsewhere; j ,
The Bible makers "of the United
States are entitled to protection.
The pending bill in congress gives
them something like 20 "per cent.
(It is rather, technical in that
part of its' wording. ) If that j Is
hot a high enough duty.. the ; bill
ought to be amended In tnat par
