SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1897. - Les Miserables. . ‘ On after thought the committee of the Board of Public Education on the Philadelphia Girls’ High-fischool have decided to place on the list of books for that school, “Les Miserables—in ex- purgated form! It is not at all un- likely that a very great many of' the High School girls whom certain hot- headed members of the Board of Edu- cation were so agressively anxious to keep from reading Hugo’s-immortal work, improved the first opportunity, permitted by sufficient pocket money and a v151t to the nearest bookseller’s, to purchase and read“Les Miserables, ” ' and that not in "expurgated” form. .The very best way in the world to advertise a book is to question its . morality. Curiosity has always been a powerful impulse in the human race, and even Adam and Eve, who were created perfect, yielded to the tempta- tion of the forbidden fruit. AA-> ‘v Danger in Too Much Haste. Between increasing divorce, the al- leged falling off of marriages and other statistics pertaining to the state of wed- lock, anything which throws the least light upon this institution must be of interest. Therefore, item, which comes from Oneonta, New York; while really occupying an insignificant place among the merest telegraphic brevities, might excusably from the lesson it conveys have been honored a news with a scare head. It appears that in the town mentioned . a young couple were on the eve of link- ing their fates for life. All the pre- liminaries had been adjusted. The gentleman in the case, with the spirit of self-sacrifice usual in earlier stages of‘the game, had promised among other things, that he would give :up smok- ing. And she, with the _ traditional confidence of her sex, at this interest- ing period, believed him. Just here, however, whole rows of air castles were tumbledto miscellane- cus ruins by the discovery that the ex- pectant bridegroom, the clothes that Were to assist in his bach- in very e101: transition, had a cigar concealed. 'Such a breach of plighted faith, of course, was not to be endured under the circumstances, and the first of the two alternatives to go up inlsmoke was the wedding. Nothing is offered in extenuation of the young man’s conduct. The inci- dent carries its own moral so far as he’s come ned, butworse remains behind. The discovery of the fateful weed was actually made by the young woman' herself. How she found it is not men- tioned, but reasoning from analogy, there is only one method probable. And, supposing that the parties really loved each other, there is. more than apossibility that a happy. marriage was frustrated simply because she wanted to go through his pockets before the AA‘ ‘ V was his wife. .. A Very Proper Demand. There should be no delayin the ac- complishment ofreform which large numbers of Methodist laymen are now earnestly advocating.‘ Wermean, of course, says,_,the Washington Post the participation by laymen in the gener- al conference. The wonder isthat it is. necessary at this‘late day to agitate such avery proper demand. ,All ,the churches which profess to be at all representa- , tive it. their form of government. have long since welcomed the layman into their councils.

Watches, ‘ 3 § WRAPPERS Christian faith is due to the wisdom and experience which eminent laymen have freely contributed. The person- nel of an Episcopal convocationora general presbytery is always notable for its high character. The most emi- nent jurists, the most distinguished statesmen, the most brilliant minds in religious assemblies and supplement to an inestimable degree the labors of the clergy. The experiment of lay repre- sentation in these churches has been most succes’sful, and its abandonment would not for a moment be considered. The Methodist church does not lack anything of capability, of intelligence, of experience, and of high Christian character in its membership which the other churches possess. Why it has not taken advantage of this admirable material long since is a question which Now that the laymen, however, are anxious to be represented in the conference, there seems to be no reason why they should seemsdifficult to answer. not be gladly welcomed.

This is, indeed, modest and respectable, and we are not surprised that the movement is mak: ing great headway. It is—although its advocates may not be willing to ad- mit it—another evidence of the modern tendency to regard the minister with less awe and reverence than 1vaefor- merly considered his righteous portion. All that he does is not perfect, n0r is his counsel imbued with the‘pure wis- dom that should come from on high. Be this'as it may. hOWever, the laymen want to share with him the responsibil' ity as well as the glory of church man- agement, and it will not be long before their desire is happily attained.
