POEM IN MoNosYLLABLEs

TRC E-A POEM IN MONOSYLLABLES.
The fair, frail blooms which loved the sun
Grew ialnt a touch Of cold,
And chilled and pale, fell one by one,
Dead in the dust and mold.
In yon tall tree, now bleached and thinned,
y nest swings trayed and lone
All soaked with rain and rent by wind
It's fair freight ftedged ard flown.
Where are the birds, the moths, the bees.
And scores OF glad, free things
hich thronged the ground, the grass, the
trees,
Or thrilled the air with wings?
Gone with the warmth and bloom and light
Born of the sun and sky,
Ere yet there fell this GRIEF and blight.
And the chill nights drew nigh.
On the low bow that arched the gate
When days We're warm and long,
A wren, that has no nest or mate,
Droops. all too sad for song.
Shorn OF its fruit, still clings the vine;
Its fair robes torn and sere;
No tint is lett, nor sound, nor sign,
or all that June held dear.
But here, where down the dim, wet walks
The blanched leaves whrl and beat
one rose looks through the bare brown stalks
Ana charms the air with sweet
As one brave heart when all the truth
On earth seem dead or lost
Still keeps the faith and fire of youth,
And smiles in spite of frost.
All, though the friends 1 once held dear
Are far, or false, or flown,
need not grleYe, for you are here
Ny hope, my love, my owni

Tobacco has so many pronounced enc

this city a champion has arisen To plead
the cause Of the much-abused herb. In
the PJcifc Medical Journal Dr. Theodore
Griffin has an article on tobacco as a. pre-
yCntiye of pulmonary diseases, and we
take pleasure in copying it, not only be-
cause tObacco-users ought to have a
chance occasionally, but because it pre-
sents some new and interesting ones
tions. Dr.. Griffin says:
"We believe that ere long tobacco will
be regarded as q valuable therapeutic
agent. a plant which produces such
marked disturbances of physiolopicaI
functions when used to excess is likely to
possess valuable therapeutic properties
which we will endeavor to find in it's
smoke. 1t has been demonstrated that If

"Dr. V. Lassinari, assistant at tho Nv

publishes some interesting experiments
with tobacco smoke on various patho-
genie and -pathOgenic Organisms
The duration of the fumigations varied
from thirty to thirty-fiye minutes. and
the quantity of tobacco consumed
amounted to from 81 to Al grammes. 1t
was shown that tobacco smoke possesses
the property of retarding the develop
ment of some pathogenic bacteria aud
preventing the growth of others.
THUS the smoke from a large Virginia

speaking of the proposed new canon au-
thorizing bishops. under certain condi-
tions TO admit candidates froul}other de-
nominations to deacon's orders without
the usual preliminaries, says: 1.-THE only
practicable, statesman-like plan is the
RELOCATION of the whole matter OF the adj
mission OF pOstulants, and the probation
OF men who have exercised other minis
tries, to the bishops, each in his own iuris-
dIctIon and acting with the concurrence
OF his own council of advice. This is
what is contemplated in the proposed
canon, and the particular clause which we
have quoted looks to the immediate adj
mission to deacon's orders of approved
men, the Standing Committee unani-
mously consenting, and two of the
neighboring bishops ian inexact phrase,
by the way agreeing thereto in every
particular case. No greater safeguards
could be provided by reams OF written
legislation. Furthermore, the proposed
clause covers and eXhausts the whole
principle involved III the question. To
the bishop belongs the final esponsibility
OF conveying holy orders. No canon can
compel bishop to ordain. No complete
ness of certificate and testimonial and no
accomplished period Of probation can con-
fer right to ordination which the bishop
must recognize. He may simply decline
to ordain man and refuse to state his
reason, or even to say whether he has a
reason. His veto is absolute within his
own jurisdiction in this one thing. IL
would seem to be a corollary of this fact,
that no canon should seek to restrain
the bishops prerogative within narrower
limits than the Catholic constitution pro
vides. since a bisnop cannot make a
priest without the concurrence OF both
clergy and laity (Si qlsjS) nor without the
assistance Of the pres oytery, council OF

The New York Examiner (Bapt.) thinks
that the New Y ork Charchnedn is greatly
deceived as to the spiritual condition of
the Christian Endeavorers. It says: 1--WE
assure our esteemed contemporary that
its diagnosis Of the spiritual state of
Christian Endeavorers is entirely errone-
Gus. We know more about these young
people than the Chlt9ch11dn seems to
know, and the very last thing in the
world that troubles them is their separa-
ton from the (Episcopal) Church. 1t is a
matter to which not one in a hundred of
them ever gave a moments serious
thought. They experience in their gath
erings Christian unity, in love and
service, so much higher and more
to be desired than any formal church
union, that TO long after the latter never
occurs to them. Now in saying this to
the Cburchnl07t we are well aware that
we prophesy TO deaf ears. He that is
giddy thinks the world goes round. Our
contemporary is so filled with delusion
in this matter as to fancy that everybody
else entertains the same notions. 1t is a
harmless delusion, for it makes the de-
luded one feel complacent and hopeful.
while 1t does no one else any injury.

Concerning the Parliament of Religions
at Chicago, the New York Observer
(Pres.) says: at will be interesting and
useful to hear from the leading minds of
other religious faiths. They will no
doubt present their most elevating teach
Ings, and seek to win favor for them. At
the same time, while endeavoring to Gre
ate favorable impression of their own
faiths, they will no doubt pay respect
full, and indeed deeply interested atten-
ton to the doctrines of Christianity, as
these latter are succinctly, clearly and
tersely set forth by the most able minds
of Christendom. We know well that
Christianity will hold its own in any such
congress. We believe that the result will
be vast amount of diligent comparing
and contrasting on the part of these rep
reSentatiVeS of the nOn-ChriStian faiths,
with what results we do not hesitate to
suggest. DR.. Barrows tells US that it is
his personal conviction that the Parlia-
ment OF Religions, in connection with the
whole series of religious congresses, will
bring into glorious cOnSpicuity the SUI
preme power and attractiveness of the
cross Of Christ. While as Christians, we
earnestly seek from our brothers beyond
the sea frank and full presentation of
their sincere beliefs, which is only pos
sibIe IN an atmosphere of confidence,
mutual respect and affection, we shall
speak from our hearts those truths which
have come to us from the words and the
life of the Son of God. Believing that
Christianity is not only the complement
of all other religions, filling out what is
Imperfect in them and correcting what is
erroneous, but is also a direct, miracul-
Gus revelation centering III a divine Re-
deemer, they who hold this faith will
have the opportunity to proclaim it as
never before. The religion whose dis
tinctive features are incarnation, regen-
Grafton, and atonement, filings its loving
challenge to the world, and has no fears!'
We are led to the same conclusion.n
