ENGLAND'S CONSTERNATION.

Beginning ot Third Year ot 8oulh African Con*fifo! Finds England In Serious Situation.

[Illustrated Homo Journal. 1The ameer's death, Russia's in-

triguea in Afghanistan, and theprobability of internal troubles there,give the continuance of tho "littlewar" in South Africa, whioh hasnow entered its third year, an omi¬nous significance for England. TheBoors aro as active as ever. Kru¬ger's propheoy is being horribly ful¬filled. Want, sufferings, death, a

long train of terrible disasters, and-England's humiliation are the resultof Mr. Chamberlain's determinationto drive the Boers into the sea. Heforgot that the Boers loved theirhomes, their liberty, their independ¬ence as much as did the English,and that they deolared they wouldfight unto death. Now Russia isadvanoing in Asia. Formerly Eng¬land would immediately have oalleda halt. To-day England finds her¬self in the position of the dog withthe pieoe of meat. She dare not letgo of the ohunk sho has bitten off inSouth Afrioa.That costly and embarrassing

struggle had humiliating conse¬

quences for England during theChinese war of 1900, in whioh shewaa compelled to play a far moresubordinate part than she would havetaken if her hands had been free.England has in tho neighborhood of200,000 soldiers in South Afrioa,whioh is a largo proportion of the em-pire'a entire available fighting force.Some soldiers-probably 20,000or 80,000-have boen sônt to Indiafrom the Boer region in the past fowmonths, possibly in anticipation ofthe complications which aro no-

threatening on account of the ameer'sdoath, but England oannot sparemore men from that quarter. Sum¬mer has begun in South Afrioa, andthere is greater activity among thoHoers than there was a few monthsago. Tho troubles in Asia will givetho Boers renewed onoouragemontto continue their struggle. The waris costing England about $1,000,000a day. It has cost her ovor 05,500men in deaths from disease, and inkilled, seriously wounded and cap¬tured, and the end of the train is notin sight.Thus, tho beginning of the third

year of the Sooth African conflictfinds England in a serious situation.For the first time in the history of

the war the government found itnecessary to adopt defensive methods.Secretary ot War Broderick was

obliged to impart information whiohhas oovered England with consterna¬tion. 814,000 men, he said, areunder arms in the battle with theBoers in South Afrioa. 200,000 arein the field, 100,000 aro being drilledat home, Provisions and ammuni-Wm

tion aro always supplied for fourmonths in advance 248,000 horsesand mules must be fed, and 10,000fresh animals are added every monthto supplant tho losses. Two inci¬dents havo added to tho general con¬fusion.. First Gen. Sir Redvers Bul¬ler, the idolized eommandor, has con¬fessed in a speeoh delivered at a

banquot that ho advised the capitu¬lation of Ladysmith. Then, LordKitchener oas doolared martial lawin Cape Colony, which shows, per¬haps, moro plainly than any othercircumstance England's desperatesituation. Kitchener has caused theexeoution of tho -Boor commanders,Lotter and Sohoemann, whioh hasfanned tho embers of hate into wildflames of fury. The situation is adesperate ono. What a price Eng¬land is paying for tho African goldfields IAnd now comes tho startling in¬

formation that King Edward is avory sick man, that be is sufferingfrom a cancer which grows only moroviolent after eaoh operation. What abitter revelation for haughty Eng¬land that both her king and empireshould be suffering from cancer. Thereport of new disasters, announcedwith special rogrots by Kitehonor,

has oast a greater gloom over Eng¬land than did tho recent fogs, agloom so intenso that the landing ofthe suoooBBor to the throne, after his

Îreat journey, was soarcely noticed,lord Kitoboner's proclamation was

promptly met by Gen. Botha's coun¬

ter-proclamation, which declares allarmed Englishmen in South Africaoutlaws. At Bethel Gen. Botha hasalmost wiped out an entire regimentunder Col. Benson. Benson andseveral high offioers foll, and thenumbor of dead and woundedamounts to more than 800. ThenDeWet helped himself to 6,000 re¬servo horses near Cape Town, andCommander Maritz gained a deoidodviotory over tho British in tho North¬ern part of Capo Colony, ' underMajor Graudwine, oapturing 120mon.

A 8KETCH OP A 8ERMON

On th« DlMMt and Cur« ?f the HumanHeart, by Rey. H. Ö. Brh&.

Text : My eeo give me thine heart.Proverb« 28: 20.What the phyaioal heart ia to oar

physical being j tho a fíeotion« are tothe spiritual belog, in either oase itis the center or seat of the being.Therefore, when God says in the|language of our tost, "Son give methine heart," He «imply means giveme thy affections. But the giving |of one's affections or heart to Godimplies mach ; for we find when wecome to do this that our affectionsare estranged,from Him and are sowoven and interwoven and entwinedaround the things, of time and sense,that it's like "pl licking out our rightoyo, or «utting off our right hand ;"yea, we find that the things of theworld have such a strong hold uponus, that it's almost like taking ourlife to break the connection. Indeedthe Apostle Paul compares it to cru¬cifixion, for he says, "But God forbidthat I should glory, nave in the orossof our Lord Jesus Christ, by. whomthe world is oruoifled unto me, and Iunto the world." Galatians 6:14.God throughout His Word gives

us a terrible description of the un¬converted heart. In Genesis 6:6,we read : "And God saw that thewickedness of man was great in theearth, and that every imagination ofthe thoughts of bis heart was onlyevil continually." Again in Jere¬miah 17 : 9, "The heart is deooitfulabove all things, and desperatelywioked." St. Mark 7:21, Jesussays, "For from within, out of theheart of men, prooeed evil thoughts,adulteries, fornications, murders,thefts, covetousness, .wickedness, de¬ceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blas¬phemy, pride, foolishness." And we

might continue to give quotationsfrom the Word of God, in proof ofthe badness of the unconvertedhuman heart, but enough has alreadybeen given to prove that the heartof every unsaved son or daughter ofAdam's race is radically wrong andneeds a radical ohange. And Godcomes to men with just such vile,wioked hearts as the above textsdescribe and says, "Son, give metin' <o heart." As though He hadsaid : you oan't make it any betteranyhow, though you join tho church,and though you are baptized, oate-ohised and confirmed in tho ohuroh,and though yon do live as good out¬wardly as the Pharisees of old, yetthis will not make your heart anybetter ; give it to me, let me fix it up.But what does a pure and holy

God wa^t of-such a heart? Wantof it ? Why He wanta to mako thatvery heart His dwelling place. St.John, 14:28: "Jesus answered andsaid unto him, if a man love me, hewill keep my words, and my Fatherwill love him, and we will come untohim, and make our abode with him."Again in II Corinthians, 0: 16 : "AsGod hath said, I will dwell in them,and walk in them, and I will botheir God, and thoy shall be my peo¬ple." Again in Revelation, 8 : 20 :

"Behold, I stand at tho door, andknook ; if any man hear my voioe,and open the door, I will oomo intohim, and will sup with him, and hewith rae." But God cannot dwell inan unholy plaoe. Therefore he pro¬posée to first prepare the heart forIiis indwelling. Accordingly Hetells nd in Ezekiel, 86: 26 : "A newheart also will I give you, and a newspirit will I put within you, and Iwill take away the stony heart outof your flesh, and I will give you anheart of flesh." Again, Matthew,18: 8 : "Exóept ye be converted andbecome a« little children (in inno¬cence and simplicity) ye shall notenter into the kingdom of heaven."But what is it to bo oonvortcd ?Men differ in their opinions as towhat conversion means. Some tellus that it's only a ohange of the mindor of opinions and ideas ; but whileit embraces all of thin, yet it mustneeds go deeper than the mind orintellectual faculties ; neither eau

one love God by an aot of the will,or by sotting his mind to do so ; forthe will or mind does not control theaffections, but the affections controltho mind and will ; but tho affeotionshoing estranged from God, "tho oar-nal mind being enmity against God,and not subjeot to His law," there¬fore tho necessity of a radical ohangeto tako plaoe before the heart oanlove God.Let us notioe ono or two charac¬

ters in the Bible in proof of theabovo statemont. Saul of Tarsus,had boen making havooof the ohurohwhich was at Jerusalem, but hismurderous desires not being satisfied,and thinking he did God's Service inputting the saints to doatb, he securesJotters of authority from the leading

ohuroh men in Jerusalem to go toDámasous, to bind and imprison andput to death all whom ho shouldAnd there who called on that name,and as he made his journey, aboutnoon, suddenly there shined a lightaround him above the light of thcsun, and a voioe said, Saul, Saulwhy perseoutOBt thou me ? And heanswering, said, who art thou, Lord 1And the voioe said, I am Jesus whomthou perseoutest; and ho tremblingand astonished, Bald, r<ord, whaiwilt thou have nie to do V And th(Lord said unto bim, Arise, and gc[pto the oity, and it shall be tolethee what thou must do. Now Sancontinuos his journey to Damascusbut with a ohango of ir'nd, of opieions and ideas, but not with a chang«of.heart; for when he arrives iiDamasou'e he is an earnest penitenseeker after Qod for three days an<nights, without eating or drinking, athe end* of whioh time the scales falfrom his eyes and ho receives a changof heart.Let us notice one more case : Th

rloh young ruler who oame to Chrisdesiring to know what he must do tbe saved. He shows bia Bincor ity ir.that, though vioh ai he is, yet hfalls down upon his knees in thBtreet before this lowly Nazarenand makes bis desires known ; yewhen told what he must do, and thdoing of the same would separathim from those things of the worlwhioh his heart is set upon ; althoughe endorses the straight way, anbis mind and desires are to go tinway, yet his rebellious heart will nc

relinquish its hold upon the worldtherefore, "hie turns away sorrowfulWhat then must ono do to get h

hard, rebellious heart broken up an

converted to God ? God has plain]told us in His Wofôf. Ho says iIsaiah, 65 : 7 : "Let the wioked fosake bis way, and the unrighteoiman his thoughts, and let him retuiunto the Lord» and He will hmmorey upon him, and to our Gcfor He will abundantly pardon,The sinner in returning to God muneeds oome baok over the same roihe traveled while going away froGod ; for this is what it meansreturn ; therefore in ooming ba<over that road he will soe in tllight of the ooming judgment Isins committed against God, also tiwrongs done to those of his folio'man. And. now God Bays, in regato our wrongs done to man ; "If twicked restore the pledge, give agathat he had robbed, walk in tstatutes of life, without comming iniquity, he shall surely live,shall not die." Ezekiel, 88 : 1In Matthew, 5 : 28-24, Jesus say"Thereforo if thou bring thy giftthe altar, and there remember!that thy brother hath ought agaittheo, leave there thy. gift, before taltar, and go thy way ; first be rionoiled to thy brother, then eoiand offer thy gift." Then he tcas what to do with our sins coitnitted against God : "If we oonfiour Bins He is faithful and justForgive us our sins." I John, 1 :"Ho that oovereth his sins shall iprosper, but whoso cenfesseth aforsake th them, shall have mero;Proverbs, 28 : 18. And this niak iour wrongs right, and confessing <sins, as tho Spirit leads, humbles tproud rebellious heart into submsion at the feet of Christ. It britthem to the place where -they hi"a broken and a oontrito heaiwhioh God dcolares He will not dpise. And thus they are broughtthe point whore God can display ]miraculous power whioh changeshard rebellious heart of stone theart of flesh. *

Reader, have you given your heto God in this way? If. not,saith to thee to-day, "Son givethino heart." May God help yotmake haste, and delay not, to doWest Union. r

THE SOUTH HAS RIGHTS-A PLEA.

The 8outh Will Meet Ike IMUO.

[By J. Whitney Boals, Ji\, of Boston.]No nobler sentiment was ever more

dearly expressed than the editorialin the Now Orleans Times-Deroooratof October, 24, 1001-"The Southwill Meet tho Issue"-and those whoread this article will eoe that an errorof judgment has been committed byour "President. From the Northernpress comments upon the affair ofBooker T. Washington being a guestof President Roosevelt within hisfamily oirolo, one would think thatthe South-had no rights and that thesocial and business 'nfluonoes wereof little or no consequence to' thisnation.

Aside /from what tho Northernpress tolls us, what does the indi¬vidual, who has never come into con-tact with the Southern, negro, know,of the matter ? Nothing, and BO itis that the people of tho North are

living, in ignorance of a subjectwhioh may, in the near future, stirthe nation to bloodshed. If one willthink of the awful possibilities andthe evil conséquences whioh wouldfollow by plaoing the negro sociallyon an equal with ns, they will agreewith me.What is more sacred than one's

family table, and where a breaoh isoommitted whereby a negro entersthe sooial oirole, it is leading theblack raoe to otbor sooial advances,and one would expect to seo theraoes on equal footing at their homesor at the opera ; but it would notrest there. The children of the twocolors would mingle together at so¬oial gatherings, and then the possi¬bility of intermarriage would follow.

This aot of our President is thefirst step towards making the blaokman our sooial equal, and while it istoo late to mend the harm that hasbeen done, Mr. Roosevelt has lostthe respeot of over five millions ofpeople, representing the most cul¬tured and high bred, of our citizensand the true aristocracy of thiscountry.TUB SOUTH WILL HBBT THB ISSUE.In recognizing Booker^ T. Wash¬

ington, the negro prinoipal of a ne¬gro sohool at Tuskeegeé, Ala., as hissooial equal, the President of thoUnited States is violating precedentswhioh,-for "tho peace, prosperity andhonor of the country," have beenreligiously observed by eaoh ChiefMagistrate of the nation from thefirst administration of Geprge Wash¬ington, of Virginia, to the secondadministration of William McKinley,of" Ohio. There oah be no doubtamong Amerioans bf the SouthernStates that in thus attempting todestroy ideals of raoial integrity,held up for more than a oentury byhis predecessors in oflioo, Mr. Roose¬velt has not only demonstrated thathe laoks both that good taste whiohis "tho oonsoionce of the mind" andthat conscience which is "the goodtaste of tho soul," but has also pre¬cipitated upon both raoes of all sec¬

tions in the United States a politioalissue that was thought to be deadand a sooial problem that was be¬lieved to bc solved.

It becomes olóarer with eaoh pass¬ing hour that Mr. Roosevelt has de¬liberately sought to present to publioattention the question of racial so¬oial equality, and to present it insuch a manner that lines of seotion-

alism, once traced in blood, but hap«pily effaced by patriots, both at theNorth and at the South, would bosharply redrawn within the limits ofour one common country.

It is idlo for any one to attempt toextenuate the oonduot of the Presi¬dent in this iuoldont. It is absurdfor friends of his to state that he didnot rofleot upon-.its consoquonoös.It ls ridioulouB for apologists of hieto plead in Mr. Roosevelt behaltthe sohool boy*B oxouse : «I didn'tmean to." lt is preposterous to Baythat the President's iutentlona werekindly, and that if ho erred his waaan error of misdkeoted benevolenoe.The President baa foroed the peoplereluctantly.to oonolude that ho de*sires to make this raoial aooial equal-ity question a burning issue ; and-there oau bo no doubt that the Re¬publican press at the North rejoioesthat Mr. RooB.evett has formed thatdetermination.Tho South will meet the issue. In

the oonorete pressure of this emer-gonoy. tho Southern people will havethe courage, the oonstanoy and' thooapaoity to resist what is clearly .apremeditated assault upon the eo-oial Btruoture of the Southern States.It is impossible to disguisé the factthat tho admission of raoial aooialequality in tho South would mean,in time, the miscegenation and theamalgamation of the races ; the de¬terioration of both whites and blacks ;the BUbBtitution of West Indian orLatin-Araerioan standards of civili¬zation for the distinctly Americanstandard ; and, finally, the praotioalextinction of that nobler sentimentof purity, of valor and of honorwhioh is the life-spark of a people aawell as of an individual.

It is olearly within tho limita ofrestrained state, .ont to say that theSouthern people deplore this inoidentand would do all in their power, con¬sistent with a sense of right, that thoooming crisis might happily passaway. But Republican newspapersat the North, whioh j like tho Phila¬delphia Press, for instanoe, imaginethat tho South can bo intimidatedby any such contemptible throat as"there is a stubborn man in theWhite House," should promptly re¬alize that they are dealing with apeople whose temper and dispositionthey little understand. It is as traethat high-minded men are not awedby bravado as it is that high-mindedmc novor resort to it. Amorloansof the Southern States are the lastpeople on earth to be deterred intheir purpose by the veiled threat ofa partisan press. Home, and the de¬fense of home, have no terrors forthe Southern people. Long ago theylearned the philosophy of the Chi¬nese proverb : "Thank God I theworst has come"-taught it as theywere in the days of reconstruction.

It is time that tho people of thoSouth realized how hopeless it is towin the sympathy of certain oirolesat the North. To Republioan fanat¬ics-the rightful heirs to that bandof charlatans who plundered theSouth in her poverty, oppressed herin her weakness and mooked at heriu her oalamity-tho contributionsof the Southern people to the pros¬perity of the nation are without sig¬nificance. It means nothing to themthat for thirty-five years the Southhas fought the most heroio battle inhuman history ; il means nothingthat the South has supported itself,paid promptly its share of the na¬tional debt inourred by its coeroion ;contributed enormously eaoh yearto the payment of Federal pensions ;developed a system of education forboth races, giving one-third of theeducational fund to the negro schools ;opening up highways throughout theland ; wisoly discharging the obliga¬tions of citizenship, oity, State andnational, and devoting itself with in¬telligent loyalty to the interests ofthe whole country.
