other side are no longer priest or Levite
to earnest modern life. The good Sa-
marian is pronounced orthodox. His
heart of pity furnishes forth a holy
chrism. His good deeds make him a
citizen of the kingdom of heaven.
we nave taken a survey of certain
movements which make for unity.
There is a broad unity in which the
nations shall learn their mutual inter
dependence and shall continue to the
wealth and glory of the other The

ing out of the fundamental common
sense OF mankind. There are every
where, also, indica lions of a coming
unity of knowledge, when it will be
recognized that the scholar, like every
other man, can no longer live unto
himself. There are no fixed bojndar-
les Tor any science. The specialist
must furnish his material to the phil
osopher, and philosophy will be content
with nothing less than the everlasting
un1tles of truth. There is one eternal
God whose eternal thought is the
living soul of all intelligence AS the
Lord our God is one Lord, so the en-

ogy, theology, sociology are all His,
and are varied expressions of one uni

THREE PROBLEMS.
The Pan-American Congress of Re
l1glon and Education recognized these
principles from the beginning when it
plaSed upon one programme the prob
lens OF religion, of education and of
philanthropy. In the time at the dis
poSal OF the congress it will only be
possible to indicate some of the lead
ing elements in the themes presented.
But the large outline undertaken indi-
Gates both the breadth and the unity
of our design. No limitations have been
laid upon the eminent men and women
who are to address you, either as to
the matter or manner of their discus
sions. Even with most faithful loyal
ty to that profound courtesy which the
occasion requires, it cannot fail that
much will be said quite alien to the
thought and even the faith of many
who listen. No speaker upon the plat
form is responsible for any one ex.
cept himself. This is also entirely in
harmony with the method by which the
world is moving towards its adjust
ments of peace. Unity can be accom-
pl1shed by no spiritual ledgerdemain.
In these days many are crying, 10 here,
and 10 there may be found the heaven
ly kingdom of peace. Go ye not out
after them. 1t is the business of each
quately to express his individual life.
There is nothing else possible to the
human soul but to be faithful to its per-
sonal vision of the truth. There is
HOlHIuS else IOi the human mana out
to seek earnestly to do the nearest
duty. There is no choice of the loving
heart but to worship before such affairs
as bring the widest and richest benz
sons of inspiration and Of grace. To
neither state craft nor church craft
has been committed the organiza ton
OF d lasting peace. AS its achievements
will be mightier that human imagi-
nation, SO its forces are deeper and
holier than the human will. They flow
forth from the fountains in the heart
of God. But because God lives and
because God is one; because man lives
and is the child of God; because the
harmony of God and man is the final
purpose Of the kingdom of earth and
time; so surely will the kingdom of
heaven come, dream of poets and
prophets. and seers. There is q far
, off music. but long since audible to
gifted souls who have frightened the
world with psalms OF redemption. That
music is drawing nearer, and in due
time it will not be for the ears of the
whole earth. When at length the
common mind and heart of humanity
are flooded with deepest and divinest
harmony, it will be message that all
can understand for its refr"in will be
the fatherhood of God and IT,; brother
hood of man.
Rev. William Glass, of Trinity uni
versity, Toronto, spoke on religious

evening by Archbishop Ireland, of st.
Paul, on Right and Duties of Labor"
