The Episcopal Recorder speaks thus
of our friend, Judge Thompson's b6ok ;

sage: Man becomes the diaphanous
ectype of the inner spiritual self, as he
is moulded and moulds his surround
ing organisms from instant to instant
in their animalistic propensities, their
human desires and purposes, and in his
/ higher spiritual manifestations OF au:
topsic willing, intellectualizing and
i lloving.'"

Thesame paper has the followingitem
| of special interest to newspaper people:
ave have been looking in vain for
our Legislature to pass law raising
printers fees for legal advertisiDg.-
These fees remain the same that they
were when one dollar was worth as
much as two is now The rates allowed
for public advertising have always been
unjust. The law allows printer 80 so
