No ONE is capable Of high state of
enjoyment without liability to high
degree of suffering. There is no keen
sense Of delight except to one who has
keen sense of sorrow The most ap-
preciative persons are by no means per
son Of greatest equanimity To be able
to feel intensely in one direction, per-
son must be able to feel with like in
tensity in the opposite direction whether
he wants to or not. He who is always
cheerful is never a person of very strong
feeling, or of exceeding refinement and
sensitiveness. He of all others under
stands least the cost of a fine and high
strung nature. Few indeed do under

do not; that-a as Mr. Froude puts it

The ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF RELIGION AS IL
EGYPT. By P. LIE Page Renouf The Hib
bert Lectures for 1921 New York Charles
Scribners Sons. 1880. Price $3.50.
This is the second course of lectures on this
foundation, the first having been delivered on the
Religions of India by Max Muller. The vol
ume strikes us as valuable contribution to the
history of Egyptian thought. Mr.. Renouf is an
Psychologist of high standing, and has treated
his subject in a learned and entertaining man
ner. The farther we go back in Egypt the sim.
pier and purer we find their religious IDEAS
Many of them remind us of some of the hymns
from the Vedas and of the sublime passages to
be found in the Zend Avesta of the Persians. If
the Egyptians were evolved from state of saw
agery, why is it that at the beginning of their
history they seem to have had the Hottest con
ceptions of religion2 The author points out the
fact that instead of Monotheism having been a
growth in Egypt from Polytheistic ideas, it was
just the reverse The monotheistic conception
of God appears in the Oldest documents, and the
corrupt polytheism of the country was the out
come of later ages. The book deserves the at
tention of all philosophical minds, as well as OF
all who are interested in literary and archeolo
gical studies

SENATE.

Washington, December 13.-On motion Of Mr.
Randolph the bill for the relief of Fltz John Por
ter was taken up-85 to 25-a party vote except
that Of Hoar, who voted aye.
Mr.. Randolph offered the amendment an.
nOuuced by him few days ago.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to amend by limiting 10
one year from the passage Of the bill the time
within which Portere restoration to the array can
be made, 6O that If the present or next President
should not see ct to restore him the bill should
not live until future administrations. This was
rejected by party vote, except that Of Davis Of
Illinois, and Mcdonald who voted aye
Mr.. Carpenter then argued against the power
Of Congress to revoke the sentence OF a court
martial or reinstate in the army persons who had
been expelled.
Mr., Mcdonald believed Congress had the pie.
nary power over everything connected with the
army Mr., Herford took this position also, and
regarded Carpenters doctrine as subversive Of
free government insured by the subordination Of
military 10 civil power. In this connection he
referred to the recommendation in the Presi.
dents message that the Office of Captain General
be created and coupled Gen. Grants name with
quotations.
Mr. Thurman replied to Carpenters argument.
Slated as his opinion that the court martial had
no right to impose disqualification to hold office,
and that it is no infringement upon the pardon
ing power for Congress to provide that man
shall be subject to military duty,
The debate was continued at considerable
length by Senators Thurman, Carpenter, vor
hees, Mcdonald and Logan, after which Mr.,
Davis of Illinois, moved to go into executive ses
sion.
Mr.. Randolph hoped debate on the bill might
not be interrupted. He had hoped for fnal
vote on the measure to-day, unless some under
standing could be had as to the time debate
should close.
Mr.. Edmunds opposed the agreement, the effect
Of which was to limit debate.
Mr.. Randall withdrew his suggestion. and after
an executive session the Senate adjourned.

London, Dec. PA Dublin dispatch to the

as are also those who, by threats endeaVor to
compel any person to quit employment, or pub

If they refrse to be bound over or to give evi

The correspondent of the Times at Dublin,
commenting on the above says: "The truth is
the magistrates, agents, and landlords generally
are panic stricken, and do not venture to enforce
the law. A prosecution brought by the Attorney
General at Ballinasloe and another in Sligo have
broken down, which has had disCoursgng

The magistrates do not feel justified in regarding
