urging the bond issue? Does another lie in
the direction of replacing the basalt stone
pavement in our principal streets with the
poultice pavement? Will portion of the

erty between Van Ness avenue and the
park, with view to a magnificent cypress
shaded avenue leading to the park? These
are investments which are spoken OF as re-
quiring less money now than if they are
made in the dim and distant future. Broad

do with the money if he gets it.

The Law Of Episcopacy.

Perhaps the most stupendous exam
pie of wilful ignorance concerning the
Church was afforded by so able a man
as II. T. Buckle, in that monument
fragment. his History of Civilization.
1t seemed to him the most absurd
thing in the world that, when Episco-
pacv was re-established in Scotland un-
der Charles H.. men should travel from
Edinburgh to London to be cOnsecrated.
He revels in the quantity humorous
situation: he dwells on it with RaDelal-
sian delight: he roars with laughter at
the idea that anybody should undertake
a troublesome and expensive journey
for such trIfle. And yet he was neither
ignorant nor devoid of reasoning pow
ers-when he chose to use them. lie
must have been familiar with the facts
that other men cared about religion
and its belongings, though he did not;
that the Church was at least great
corporation, which other sceptical his
torians had found themselves obliged
to take into account as of some con-
crete importance; and that she OF ne
cessity had her own laws and customs,
according to which her affairs were
regulated. He knew that Masonic
lodge, or a radical debating club. or
any other society inherits or frames It's
own rules-and ceremonies of initiation
and what not by which its members
and officers are governed; yet he could
not understand that the same privilege
belonged to an organization which pro-

\ Recent Renaissance.

In Provence, nature has dictated her
own idyl and created her own school
With alpiue glow aud almond blossoms,
and the CLINT Of curlews' wings, she
has lit the land in loves own hue. She
has taken her dark-eyed peasantry with
their emotional spirits and ardent tenn

garb under tender southern sky. She
has so breathed and suffused the yellow

possessions and homely living he is so

this human life, to feel the painful dis

though he may hide it with a sweet or

dream of regaining the Holy Sepulchre.
and fine ladies sat under their trees at
their courts of love, weaving cords
whereby to define Municipalities. But
in the nursery rhymes of infant
civilization" then sung by the tr0uba
doris, there are evidences that there did
then live true affection, and, through
pain and fight, heroism of deed as well
as of word.
BY the eleventh century, when it's
unique literature began to show itself,
the South of France had had its Doric
civilization. and gained Its remains of
Greek statues aud temples. 1t had
borne the discipline ami undergone the
culture of Rome, and tasted her lust
splendor, and corruptions. 1t had been
dominated by Mortimer, and some Of
the cities of the South had been ruled
by Moors. Many town bad especial
quarters for the Jews: but the far East
was yet better known from the tales of
the pitiful few who came back from the
holy wars bearing palms and chanting
of triumph. Later on there came the
crowning episode of the papal residence
at Avignon.
These varied influences fell upon a
race with the instinct to grasp and to
re-embody ideas lying back of outward
expression, aud the outcome was High
Romance.
Add TO this it possessed treasure. sec.

language the Langued 'oc-a language

But Provence sank into decay. and
after the local crusades Of Simon de

with Avignon sacked and Languedoc
desolated. there fell upon the land the
hush of death. The very language be-
came a banished and prescibed thing.

Most poets have been profoundly
religious. and Robert Browning :
works are all reverent, noble, ana In
the truest sense Christian. In our
time his poetry will not be popular. 1t
il not picturesque enough. 1t Is Wis
dom and beauty condensed. 1t IS beat

Among his poems Is one which may De
called an echo of the sermon on Mars
Hill: indeed. the text OF the poem Is
taken from that sermon. "CleOn Is q
supposed letter from Greek poet. ar

IL begins with a recognition OF the mu
niflcence and nobility of Protus, who
had sent TO CieOn rich gifts.
Then. evidently in response to
some inquiry of his king Gle
on recltes his own achievements
as poet, painter and architect, and this
leads to the thought that his art was
not all his own, but the fruit OF long
ages of growth in others. Following
this line. he at length comes TO the
question. why stay we on the earth
unless to grow - Then follows one of
the great thoughts of the poem. in
which the pagan catches "a glimpse OF
the truth, that if humanity ever realize
the glory of its possible destiny, 1t must
be by God Himself coming to earth to
make it known. Thence he passes on
to the question of the ages, IF man
die shall he live again" Here the tone
is sad and hopeless at first, but Nature
asserts herself as he proceeds:
a. 1.-The feeling, thinking. acting man,
The man wuO loved his life so OVeimuch

To seek which the JOY hunger forces us
Zeus has not revealed IL: and alas
lie must have done so we've II possible! =
In this poem Robert Browning has
given noble expression to the longing
for religious certainty, which is evident
in the whole heather world. The heart
of the sermon on Mars Hill is the recog-
milton by St. Paul that those affairs to an
unknown god indicated conviction of
the reality of invisible powers. They
were symbols Of the worlds longing
for God. Through all the ages, too,
and among all peoples the doctrine of
future state has been accepted IN some
form. The Egyptians believed it, so
did the Greeks, the Romans, the an
cient dwellers in Mexico, and the Amer.
lean Indians. An inner voice in all de-
clares that they were made for some
thing better than death. It is the man
crying out Il cannot die" there is lack
ing only the response of the divine
voice. Thou shalt never die. Chris
