he was to read upon certain public oc-

sired to secure the copy. Mr.. Il, who
was then and is yet engaged upon Bos-
ton daily newspaper, was detailed by his
managing editor to call upon MIR. Low
ell and secure, if possible, the much de
sired poem. After Il great deal OF i'm
portunity from the newspaper man Mr..
lowell said:
''Let me ask you question frankly
man to man, and if then you decide that
/ ought to give you the poem l promise
YOU | will. If you knew | needed $500,
You would not ask me TO give it to you.

/ do need the $500, and ask you the

Only Rich Officers Need Apply.

an essential requisite \ man attached

The last Of the II days set apart by
the Worlds 1air management for "tht
parliament of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion dav ana
the sixth anniversary of i,s institution
Sept. 90.
The first whole world Observance was
on the 9th of September, 1886, when
there was silence in heaven for the
space of one-half hour" when a greater
or less number of the worslipers of all
the great religious faiths Of the world
united for 80 minutes dime at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
Vening at salem, Or, between IL merid
ian and 1880 past meriGiau in invoking
universal peace and new and higher in
flowings of spiritual light.
OF course the Worlds fair manage
ment did not know in setting apart the
II days between and including Monday
the 18th and Sept. 81 that 1.-THE parlia.
ment of religions would terminate its
session on the anniversary of this the
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such is the
fact, and being so it is eminentIy proper
that the brief universal prayer season Of
half an hour should on that day be aC-
corded to soul communicates and ali
who will unite with them in invoking
with unifc soul impulses peace on earth
and good will among men, Soul com
munionists Will ask no more of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time of observancei in Chicago will
be from 2:20 to 300 p. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the shrines Of earth, and some
of all of whom will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances ii
the most interior spirit of the movement.
This is "the universal prayer gauge"
which q distinguished English scientist
some years ago called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of thought and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more won.
