1ty, orthodox and reformed Judaism.
Each faith spoke through it's repre-
sentatives, and to each was ac-
corded respectful and attentive
hearing.
There was no incident that ten
ded towards unpleasantness, save
one, and that only in slight measure.
Alexander Russell Webb, the Amer
lean apostle of Northumberland,
in one of his discourses began a de-
tense of polygamy, as permitted by
the Koran, and American woman
hood rose up and royalty rebuked
him. There was no incident of a
startling or sensational nature, un-
less that can be called startling,
when Buddhist priest hurled def
ance at his audience, because, though
in self.confessed ignorance Of his
teachings,yet that audience had
Judged Buddha and Buddhism, and
Jduge them harshly. Otherwise there
was unbroken harmony and undis-
turbed peace at all the meetings.
1t was happy commingling ofthe
old world and the new; the east
and the west were brought togeth-
er and clasped hands in fraternal
greetings. 1t was the browning
glory of the grandeur ofthe exposi-
ton. 1t was the triumph of toll
erance, the diadem set upon the
head OF the material magnifcence
there congregated It was an in
spring and never to be forgotten
scene, which was possibly only in
he last decade of this century, and
'nly in this home of liberty loving
people.

ne thing we can safely assert and O

Parliament of religions are many.
but the first and greatest of these
is the lesson of tolerence. By Just
SO much as each individual creed
sees that there are other creeds in
existence, whose followers are lust
as earnest, just as deeply imbued
with the teachings of their faith,
by just SO much shall each indiyid-
ual creed be modest in it's claims.
l do not say that believer shall
lose faith in the truth of his creed,
but let him not assert that all truth
is bound therein and that there is
none, save such as is found within
the cover of his catechism. Every
man shall have the right to full and
faithful belief in his own particular
form of truth, but that same right
that he enjoys, let no one dare to
deny unto another. There is a
greater Arbiter than human
Judgment, and in the unrollinp Of
time will the false be destroyed and
the true be enthroned. But when
millions of human lives are guarded
and regulated by a system of belief,
when the hopes and the hearts of
those millions and their fathers and
fathers fathers before them, have
been for thousands Of years, fed and
satisfied by this faith, letno one rise
to such a height of presumptuous
superiority, to say that these mil
lions of lives, and all others, who do
not follow in the pathway of a GER
tain line of thought, are forever and :.
rrevocably doomed to eternal de-
spalr. Such thought is blasphemv.

lnau Deen my de-

Religions from the beginning of the

closed on Wednesday last, the 9th
OF this month, having begun on the
eleventh.
The idea of the parliament was,
with but one exception, hailed with
enthusiasm on all sides. Every
earnest and open minded lover Of
his kind could not but rejoice that SO
grand and glorious a contamination
was finally to be achieved, and
now that it has been achieved SO
grandly and tremendously, the
questions arise uppermost in the
mind, what will be the result
thereof" what it's influence" and
what it's lessons"
The Parliament in it's plan and
method of operation, was exceed
ingly simple. From the 18th to
the 9th inclusive, was the Parlia-
ment proper. Every religion, every
creed, every shade ofbelief had been
invited and almost unanimously
they responded. The fundamental
ideas of faith, of belief, of God, Of
mans relation to Diety and Diety's
relation to man, the basis ofmoral-
ity, the guide of right and true life,
all these subjects were put forward
and a representation given to every
faith to advance its claims and ex- i
pound its teachings. In conjunc- t
ton with the parliament proper c

strong movement In Canada towards union
