THE NEW LIE yRTY BELL.

pounds. Although it is one of the
largest bells of the world. it does not
approach in size that of the enormous
bell at Moscow. which weighs twenty
five Thousand pounds -
The bell is six feet high and eight
feet in circumference at the mouth. It
has bright luster of brassy nature.
There are three inscriptions on it, one
at the top ridge, another in the center
and one at the lower edge. The upper
one reads: 'Glory to God in the high
est; on earth good will toward men.
The central inscription is: "A new
command ] give unto We, that We love
one another" The lower is: proclaim
liberty throughout the land and unto
the inhabitants thereof"
This Columbian liberty and peace
bell is attracting worldwide notice,
and it is indeed worthy successor of
the old clarion of independence; but it
is not nor never will be regarded with
the same reverence that is lavished on
the decrepit veteran that rung defiance
to the forces of Great Britain, when
this great nation was but a puny con-

At the present writing there is in SEES
sion at the fair the greatest assemblage
of religious leaders the world has ever
seen. representative opponents of every
religious creed under the sur. This
meeting is certainly a most extraor-
binary affair, and it is undoubtedly
of great import among the religions of
the world. During the sessions of this
most remarkable congress the different
leaders of moral and religious teach
ings ventilate their respective views
and compare notes on the means of
bringing the people of all lands to a
higher state of morality and intellectu-
atty. To behold the determination of
teachers of men so widely divergent in
their tcnets and views is in truth a
marvel for the age to contemplate with
the most earnest commentator.

state buildings are still attracting
