Protestant Germany and the Pope.

Tho Evangelical High Consistory
! Berlin, Prussia, has issued tho accom-
panying declaration in answer to the
! invitation of tho Pope of Rome, called
Plus the Ninth, extended to all Pro
tcstants and non Catholics throughou,
the world to return to the $50 called
only fold, meaning, Of course, tho
Church Of Rome:
THE DECLARATION.
"The head of the Roman Catholic
Church has addressed Circular Let
ter, dated September 18th, 1868, to al
Protcstants, and therefore also to tho
members of our Evangelical Estab.
lishcd Church. We rejoice sincerely
that this letter, although containing
many unjust accusations, nevertheless
gives expression in atfectionate Ian
guagc to respect and good will to-
wards protestants; and VIC would
willingly consider this as IN augury
OF more amicable rcla.i ion between
both Confessions hereafter, productive
OF good to the Commonwealth, the
people, Industry and triumph of Chris
tian truth. Every true evangelical
christian acknowledges his obligation
to love sincerely the members of other
Confessions, and laments the existing
division Of the Charch. But in as
much rs tho head of another Church
calls in said letter on the members of
our Church, and that with tho as
sumcd authority of their Chief Shcp-
herd, TO yield up their precious faith,
founded on the immovcabe Word Of
God, and sealed with the blood Of its
confessors, and also to rcnouncc the
truth, and surrender the Evangelical
liberty rcgaincd for tho Churcl, in the
blessed Reformation, and US lie more
over does not manifest any DISPOSE
tion to accomplish the desired union
IN accordance with the principles Of
eternal truth, we decidedly disnpprovc
of his action, as an unwurrantcd inter
ference with our Church, and we feel
confident that all Evangelical Chris
tians agree with us in this. The
members of our Church do not at MI
require to be admonishcd not to give
heed to this call; but it appears
proper to us, in view Of these over
lures, to remember that as many of
our fellow believers arc living among
Roman Catholics, and exposed to
many temptations to become unf.ith-
ful to the Evangelical Confession, to
provide the means required to furnish
all such with the blessings of the
preached Word Of God, the Scriptural
administration of the Sucramcnts
Evangelical schools. and pastoral su-
pcrvision, and as these arc the objects
Of tho collections, which are to be
taken up within n few days and weeks
for the relief Of the most pressing
wants of our Church, and III aid of
tho Gustav Adolph Society; let us
therefore, filled with the spirit Of
peace, 10 good to all, but especially
to our fellow believers.
awe call upon the Royal Consistory
to direct the Clergy within its dis
trict to employ, either on the day of
the collection, OF On n succeeding Sun
day, such predatory remarks as shall,
if not literally, yet in spirit, corre-
spond with tho above declaration

GREAT HOTEL.
"The project of building magnificent hotel
upon the spot known as the Giants Grave has
been sgitsted and will unquestonabIy be carried
out The position is certainly one Of the best for
the purpose in the whole mountain region, since
il affords grand view Of Mount Washington and
the other beaks in the vicinity, and il here in
fact, that the first public house for White Noun
tain visitors was bpit. in 1903. That house was
destroyed By fire in 1919, when 1t was owned by
Ethan Allen Crawford, and IL Is singular fact
that two other public houses, including the old
Fsbyan stand. have been burned on or near the
Giants Crave There is q tradition extant that
long time ago an Indian stood upon this mound.
and, brandishing in the darkness pine torch,
ignited at tree struck by lightning prophesied
that pale face Should ever take root here. This
fable has no effect upon Mr.. Marsh, and should the
old Indian pictured upon the riven and SCARED
side of Mount Pleasant but turn his head, he
would see that the Giants Grave has nearly
disappeared before the march Of Improvement.
During the present season Mr.. Marsh has ex-
pended some nine thousand dollars in removing
some twepty-four thousand cubic yards Of earth
and in building seven hundred feet of wall along
the riyer.n

10 apply TO his friends for assistance he was soon
beyond the reach of earthly help.
When be arrived at the hospital h. was almost
compile ely prostrsted. and utterly helpless. he
wss offered stimulsnts. but stoutly refused all
medicine and food, he declaring his disease was
not physical but mental and moral, and that he
needed no medicine. Some OF the attendants
pulled of his shoes preparatory to making him as
comfortable as possible, but he quickly put them
on again, and would not permit single article of
his clothing TO be removed. Up to his last mo-
meDts be lay in his old stained suit of linen. with
bis old hickory cane which be always carried
attached TO his coat by cotton string. BE was
persistent in declaring that he was In perfect
phys al health and when asked whether his then
condition did not conf CT with his theory of an
eternal life on earth, he replied that he. like other
moItas. was heir TO Sickness but that il could not
result fatally with him. He partook of no food.
and only by force was made to take any stmu-
lants whatever. HH
From the moment his head touched the pillow
in the hospital wsrd on Friday, to the moment Of
Lis death on Sunday morning. he never rose. He
passed peacefully away-to the last no sign es.
Gaping his poor wandering mind that he realized
bis condition or that he was ever to leave the
beautiful world TO which be believed be had been
sent as Messiah for the redemption of his race.
Thus died one of the most remarkable msdmen
that ever lived deformed child Of nature, who
could no more have avoided his strange fate than
be could have reversed the great law which he so
long believed had been suspended for his especial
convenience. and the happiness of his imaginary
disciples. Though incapable of good. he was
equally incapable of HARM and let Us believe that

"Iifes long warfare closed st last
HIS soil is fOuna in pea e."
When the clods dropped upon the poor coffin
that enclosed his body the sections were alone.
and no man was there to weep or sigh over the

was here, the winds mosned, his OILY dirge, and
the heavens dropped the only tears that fell upon
his grave.
