us companions on tue rTtsluentlaA eASui
sion are expected to visit Denver on the
18th of May is awakening much interest
here. 1t is already apparent that the
occasion will be made gala day. One OF
the things talked of Is a dismissal OF the
public schools for that day and grand
demonstration by the school children with
flowers and songs. II the day is pleasant
the East Side High School grounds would
afford ample room for all the pupils in the
city, and the President could at the same
time see one of the handsomest public
school buildings in the country.
BY the way, the university is prosper
inE amazingly, and its friends never had
SO much cause for rejoicing as at present.
The famous Chamberlain Observatory is
nearing completion, work is being pushed
on the main building, and Governor Evans
has Just added donation OF sl0l,o3l TO
the endowment fund. AT the same time
Bishop Warren gave $500 TO start the
endowment of the now chair OF the English
artist, presented the university with an
oil painting valued at S,ooo.
The State Conference OF Charities and
Corrections, which met on the 18th and
10th was notable gathering in many re-
spcets. The papers and addresses were
uniformly able and pertinent The key
note OF the conference was set in the ad-
dress OF the Rev. MYroa W. Reed, as
follows
In this comforting OF men-this setting
Of questions by calling men together in
councIls-there seems TO be wisdom Now
in city like this there are from twenty
five to thirty charitable societies, each
working alone as individuals, each jealous
Of all the rest because OF their ignorance
OF all the rest. Naturally enough il you
arc engaged in tho aiding of orphans, you
think orphans are the main thing In life;
and the same If you are aiding in the
maintenance Of the deaf and dumb. II
you are aiding any special line OF charit-
able work, that line becomes TO you
selfish thing; you are wrapped up in it.
"Now bring thirty TO thirty FIVE sccie-
ties together ia a room and you find these
other societies are as worthy as yours and
your interest is quickened aud information
is gained, and where there is information
there is sympathy. And say the prinei-
pal objects OF conferences in any city OF
any town the business would be arst,
information; second, sympathy. A greai
thing, at least TO me, is the coming to-
gether OF men OF different politics, OF diff
ferent religion, and sitting down together
to consider the great subject Of charities
that knows no politics no religion.
II see no reason why in the State OF
Colorado there may not be one conference
such as ours in every considerable town
and III every Inconssderabie town Get
your church societies together. There Is
always benevolsnce 10 be done, even in L
little place where there are only two or
three churches. How much better they
might work together than apart.
'.The whole thing is philosophical. scrip
turaL Christ sent out his disciples, no.
one by one, but two by two, so that they
could talk together on the way-eonfet
how TO work the next town. And II one
was blue the other could raise him up.
They could have on days for being blue
1t is very philosophical.
