clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before us,
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
All! who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were love-lit only
0This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure,

Edmund Clarence Stedman.
Bishop Simpson is the most elo-
quent orator in the Methodist Episco-
pal church-probably one of the best
orators in the world-sometimes dis
appointing on account of his dryness,
and at other times rising to white
heat that fuses all around it.
The farewell of the venerable bishop
Of Mississippi was one of the touch
ing incidents of the general conven-
tion. He told the deputies that ne
was the last survivor of the conven-
ton of 1928. What a marvellous eXpe-
rience a man must have who can
look back over sixty years in these
days of rapid change, and especially
over period of such great change in
every relation, both of church and
state, in America, as Bishop Green
has witnessed. The good bishop is in
his eighty-foufth year, and naturally
looks upon his course as nearly fin
ished. He has been sixty-three years
in holy orders and thirty-four years in
the episcopate, and. in all that time
has preserved the deep respect of all
who have known him.
The Presbyterian Synod of New
York has been moved to say some de-
lightfully pleasant things concerning
the Catholic church. thas presented
it with beautiful boquet of compli
ments which are simply amazing on
the lips of the rigid followers of John
Knox. Praise is given for the zeal
manifested in guarding the young
against the penicious literature of the
time; for the high position assumed
with respect to the sanctity of mar
rage and the evils of divorce, and fol-
the Impressive picture drawn of the
evils of intemperance" in the recent
pastoral letter of the council
at the cathedral. 1t is pleasant
to see the religious brethren dwelling
together in peace in this way. II
eTinces q spirit of the truest and
highest christianity, and shows the
wonderful progress we are making in
religious point of view. There is
one great bond between all denomi-
nations which should never be broken,
namely, that of Christian charity and
love. Nothing is SO sad in all the
world as so see church organizations
reviling one another. They are all
working toward the same end, name
", to make men better and point out
the way in which they should walk
spiritually. The Presbyterian synod
deserves high credit for the recogni-
ton it has just given of the good that
it sees in the Catholic organization
