Under the treaty stipulations ex,
listing between England and France,
regarding these islands, the British
promoters of the cable may have to
obtain the permission of the French
government to occupy our soil. If
it is required, it could, probably,
be readily obtained, as the French
government, takes little interest in
these islands. We reprint, in an
other column, an instructive article,
from the London Times, on the
subject Of the cable.

IF you WANT a GOOD
CHE WING GUM.

The practice of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing spruce
gum " That was the olden
time gum. There WASH t any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and ehewabIe from
the start.
Mr. Beeman says there is a
small amount of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE

EDITORIAL.

The Leader and the Banner of last
week bring the gratifying intelligence
of the success of the New England and
Middle District Conference held in Low
ell and Baltimore on the same days as
the Conference in Chicago. OF the
Lowell Conference the Leader remarks
that it will be notable in the annals Of
the Universalist Church." and speaking
of the papers and discussions it further
says: mot poor or carelessly- prepared
paper was presented; all we're worthy of
the authors and of the occasion; and not
a few rose to a great height Of merit.
From beginning to end the temper Of
the platform was faultless. The discus
sions Of course brought out differences
of opinion, and if at times some Of the
impromptu words we're sharp they be-
trayed no irritability of spirit; while the
bulk Of the discussion was worthy Of
the subject matter passed in review"

ORDINATION AT ELD0RA, IOWA.

Mr.. W. B. Washburn was ordained to
the ministry Of the Universalist Church
at Eldora, Ia, Thursday evening, Octo-
Der IL. He is young man of good abil-
ity, giving promise Of signal usefulness.
His management of the Eldora parish
for some months past having been salts
factory to the congregation it was de-
cided to ask for his ordination. The SER
vices took place as above. preceded on
Tuesday and Wednesday by sermons
from Mrs. S. L. Crum, OF Boone; Rev.
James Gorton; Rev. B. F. Shook, and
by other helpful services.
The candidate having passed salts
factory examination by the duly consti-
tuted council, consisting of DIR. Crum.
Rev. Mrs. Crum and Rev. Messrs. Cor
ton, Shook and Gowdy. with Mrs. Fl. F.
Carter, of Eldora, and Mr.. Clotz, of
Webster City, representing the laity, it
was voted to confer ordination. Rev.
Father Gowdy offered the invocation
and Mrs. Crum read the Scripture les
son. Rev. James Gorton offered the or
daining prayer. DIR. Crum gave the fell
lowship and Mrs. Crum the charge to
the people.
The sermon of the evening was
preached by DIR. Crum from Romans X
1915, the theme being 1.-THE Preacher of
Today" The speaker, says the Eldora
paper, traced the evolution of the mod
ern minister from his prototypes, the
priests and prophets. He should be
learned in the Law as the scribe, as
faithful to his service as the priest; and
as jealous in the discharge of his duty as
the prophet. He emphasized the teach
ing Office of the preacher. the need of re-
ligious instruction to every one Of Gods
children, maintained that the pulpit
was the ally Of the press in the matter
Of the dissemination Of knowledge,
whether religious or secular, contended
for the observance of the day of rest and
worship and extolled the Office of the
public assembly in bringing bodies of
worshipers within the influence of the
Spirit and en- rapport with the preacher
when moved by it's influence. 1t was a
sermon of rare power. albeit the speak
ers thoughts often wandered from the
audience before him to the bedside of
his stricken and dying father hundreds
of miles away.
The fine choir of the church, under the
lead OF chorister Morse. rendered excel
lent music and the entire service was
solemn and impressive. May the divine
blessing rest on this young pastor and
his flock and keep all faithful.

~ The natural supernaturalism"
of Thomas Carlyle is coming to be more
understood in this generation as men
recognize how natural "supernaturalism,
is under some circumstances and how
supernatural the natural" sometimes
appears.
*.* THoREAU has valuable hint for
ministers who write their sermons: IF
you indulge in long periods you must be
sure to have snapper at the end"
Thoreau is right. Better the Emerso
MAN drop stitch sentence than the John
sonia paragraph unless the snapper"
is on.
~ "SoME children are like human
scrawl- books, blotted all over with the
sins and mistakes of their ancestors"
We cannot verify the quotation, but it
is worthy of DIR. Holmes, that lately de-
parted genius who made so many wise
observations along the same line.
~ THIS is what George Meredith
makes one of his quaint characters say:
Zone gets so anticipated thinkin' many
things" said Mrs. Berry, simply; That's
why we see wonder clever people al'ays
goin' wrong-to my mind. l think it
al'ays the plan in dielemmer to pray
God and walk forward" The novelist
is sometimes good sermonizer.
~ WE have often heard people
thank God that they are not as other
people are. Has it ever occurred to
them that other people have something
for which to be thankful also? In this
connection take Ruskin: However good
you may be, you have faults; however
dull you may be, you can find out what
some of them are; and however slight
they may be, you had better make some
not too painful, but patient effort to
get quit of them"

THE WESTERN CONFERENCE.

The Conference of the Western Dis
trict, of which we gave an outline report
in our last paper, was by common consent
voted one of the most remarkable meet
ings held in the West since the days Of
the Northwestern Conference. 1t was
not that by reason Of large attendance
from the parishes of the West for we
have frequently held more imposing
assemblages, and at some of our Ohio or
Illinois Conventions there have been
larger number of lay representatives
present, but it was in the spirit and
temper of the Conference and the dignity
and eloquence which marked the various
papers and the subsequent discussions,
and in the unexampled spirit of har-
mony which prevailed. We cannot
speak of the papers and addresses in
detail, where all were so good and SO
we'll adapted TO the occasion, it would
be unwise to mention one to the neglect
OF another. Suffice to say that no one
could regret that any one speaker was
selected for part in the Conference
when once that speakers work was DONE
All the addresses and papers were as
worthy of the occasion as the speaker
could make them, and every part had
the appearance of special preparation,
and undoubtedly was prepared for the
occasion. From the opening commun-
ion service to the closing conservation
meeting the program was followed with
no delay or transposition Of number.

THESE words from experienced OBJ
servers and participants show that the
Conferences have realized not only the
high expectations which were enter
tanned in the beginning, but rose above
that expectation and proved remarkably
successful. There is one distinguishing
feature of the three conferences held
this year: each had the advantage Of
specially prepared papers on important
themes and all who accepted positions
on the program were present to discharge
their duty. The three programs were
followed out in detail. Every speaker
was on hand and every topic duly pre-
ssnted. We do not recall a previous
convention or conference of which this
could be said and the truth spoken. 1t
was remarkable fact and worthy of re-
membrance.

DIR. HANSON wishes to correct an
error in THE UNIvERsALIsT' report of his
remarks in the Western Conference.
The report says: DIR Hanson took some
exception to the results Of the Higher
Criticism" This is not correct. DIR.
Hanson fully accepts the accurate con-
illusions of the Higher Criticism. What
he objected to was that DR.. Cone should
present the views of one school of critics
as the voice Of the Higher Criticism.
The vast majority Of Christian scholars
and critics are in direct opposition to the
views DR.. Cone gave as the verdict of
criticism without due qualification. This
was substantially the position of DIR.
Hanson in his five minute speech.

The testimony is similar in regard
to the Baltimore meeting Rev. F. A,
Bisbee reporting for the Leader says:
ut is pleasant, to record the universal
verdict: This has been great occasion
for our Church. The attendance from
out Of the city was not as large as was
hoped for, but all who were advertised
to speak came and with them many
clergymen and few lay delegates.
Would there had been a multitude; the
program provided by the committee was
worthy of great hearing, and the stand
ard Of merit set by this Conference will
do much toward ensuring the success of
those to be held in the future"

The new chancellor of Germany is
thus outlined by the Chicago Evening
Post: ut is steady hand if an old one
that will support the young emperor
henceforth. The Prince of Hohenlohe-
Schillingsfurst has the iron of the sol
der in him. For the politics of budgets
and agricultural laws he is likely to have
little sympathy. The amelioration of
the people has never been his fad. The
new chancellor is in his seventy sixth
year. The nature of the man and his os-
sible attitude toward the present concerns
of the empire are pictured in his career.
He was one Of the earliest advocates of
the German federation and the untiring
foe of the south German sentiment that
still burns in the ashes. His anti-Ca
Ole disposition is strong and he was the
first of European statesmen to empha-
size the possible danger in the DEGREES
of the ecumenical council of 1869. He
is rabidly anti-French, hurled Bavaria
into the German ranks, was most I'M
sympathetic resident of Paris as sue.
cessor to Won Armin, of unpleasant
memory, and has been drastic, uncom-
promising governor of Alsace-Lorraine.
At his age he is not apt to have change
of heart. His rule is the rule of sword
and heavy hand, without sentiment.
Unless the signs are false, his chancel
lorship will mark the restoration of the
Bismarckian policy of repression and
censorship. 1t will be short shrift for
socialists, editors and other mutineeIs
under this old-fashioned survival"
