due partly to the ability of the men sent

DIR. Elliott's Objection.

Rev DR.. Elliott of Washington made
strong argument, showing that the conven-
ton could not set forth a constitution; it
could only amend the enc 1t had. One hun
dred years ago they set forth one because
the various dioceses empowered their rep
resentatives so to do: there was no such
power here now.
This settled the fate OF the declaration
and 1t was stricken out.
Then the first section was taken up, after
the word constitutions had been put in
in the place of constitution as the title.
This begins, There shall be a general sy-
rod of this church, consisting of the house
of bishops and the house of deputies" etc
At once there was trouble over synod.
1t Is now called general convention" but
some thought Convention in bad odor be-
cause Used for political meetings. Well,
synod had no friends, council and ma
tional council" as substitutes. found few,
but Rev. DIR. Fulton in an able speech set
tied the fate Of the substitutes, and by
great majority it was made now, gen
eral convention" HIS argument was that
convention meant a gathering of the peo-
pie. ard this assembly was a gathering of
the represent atives of the people of the
church-clergy and laity alike.
The debt te is now raging around an
amendment to require the bishops to send
down to the house of deputies in three days
their reasons when they do not agree to
legislation which has been sent them. 1t Is
somewhat similar to the provision which
ree"'~es the President to send his veto
within ten days.

Your Sins are Forgiven.

I have received letters this past
month from those who will read this
page, and who said they would wait
month after mouth until they saw that
I remembered them. The letters
made my heart ache, and made me
angry with those nearest to them, who
feared these might have committed
the npardonable sin, when the only
objectionable sin is the sin that is not
repented of. Oh, if I could only clear
the way for you of all the wrong no.

hear His sweet voice saying to you,
Daughters, your sins, which are
many, are all forgiven you" Will
you not believe it as you read it now

not remember them against you any
more forever
Sometimes it seems to me If l could
look into your sad eyes / could make
YOU believe it! Just to think of ii all !!
The dreadful things that would sepa-
rate you from others all the sins Of
your heart and life (that would make
people shrink from you, il, as you say,
they only knew of these things) recon-
mend you to the loving, plying Christ.
I wish I could always see it as clearly
as see it now! If l could always
see it think should never cry again.

Real sorrow is always from within.
The outward life may occasion it, but
the inward life sustains it. "The
heart knoweth its own bitterness"
Sorrow commences with ourselves.
Pity is its dominating element. 1t
knows no rage, nor hate, nor resent
ment. 1T stirs the soul to its deepest
depths. 1t drives the thoughts up.
ward toward God, and heaven, and
eternity. It makes the blessed abode
of the future seem like necessity to
give meaning to life, explanation to
death and compensation for boundless
pain. Grace is the only balm for sor.
row. Time may dull the pain of the
wound, but hope of glad reunion is
the only real solace. If the Chris,
tian's hope should perish, the afflicted
heart would be hopeless, and the de-
spair that kills would be the highest
good. Thank God His grace is suf-
ficient. No depth Of human misery
is as deep as the divine mercy. "God
doth distil out of the bitterest drink
His glory and our salvation" To the
trusting heart there is an undercur-
rent Of comfort in the deepest waters
of sorrow through which mortal is
ever called to pass.

A faith that fails not nor murmurs
in hours of suffering is like lamp
burning in the home. 1t makes the
chamber Of pain little sanctuary, a
holy of holies, which none can enter
but with quiet reverence. Do you
think such suffering, so sustained, 80
radiant, performs no ministry Of bless
ing for those who witness it? We
must not think that when God lays us
aside from active service, shuts us In
and calls us to suffer, he is stopping
our usefulness for the time. Besides
the enriching of our own lives for new
ministries when we come again from
the shadows, our suffering may be-
come meanwhile q school for other
lives, our faith and peace unspoken ser
mons on the power of Gods love and
grace.

Abuse a man unjustly, and you will

Instruction is to the human intellect

It is the idle people of this earth

1t is impossible acceptably to pray,

nothing to bring it in but leave the

People sometimes speak of faith as
though it were the ability to accept
conclusions without evidence. This
is q Misunderstanding. Faith does
not imply readiness to receive state
ments that are incredible to the intel
lect. Faith is the source Of the most
positive knowledge, because it is
knowledge based upon experience
not the experience that comes through
the senses, but that experience which
is nearer yet to man, because it is in
the soul itself. 1t yields knowledge
based upon spiritual facts. The rea-
son is not superseded. 1t is simply
confronted with a new class of facts,
upon which it can work as legitimate
ly as upon the facts of the senses.
Faith opens to the reason the field OF
spiritual realities, just as the senses
open the world Of material realities.

SAnOtlIer Life"

think YOU must mean another world
from this world in which we live.
Now, / want to tell such that they
need not leave what we call "this
world" :" "this lfe," in order to be in
another world-another life. You
have been born into this world, and
some of you have no doubt felt at times
(even if you have not said SOY, if you
had been consulted you would not
have come. You have not found this
life satisfactory. 1t has been a hard
world. hard life with many of you.
Now, what l want TO tell you, that
is so lovely to me, is that you can be
born again into another world, another
life, that is satisfactory. Maybe you
never had a perfect father. Oh, how
many imperfect fathers there are.
Now, if you are willing to be born
again, for in this second birth you are
to be consulted (you need not be born
again unless you choose to be-, you are
to be born OF the spirit this time. You
were born Of the flesh the first time !;
now you can have spirit birth, and
you will thus come into new relation

The good of all ages will be relatives
of yours. You will never feel that
YOU are poor again. You will know
that after little while you will come
into your inheritance, that is beyond
all description grand. You will never
be lonely any more. You may not
live in q mansion but you will be a
mansion in which God will live, and
you will begin to understand the

be some of you have wished that you
might be rich and live in a mansion so
that you codld entertain. 1 am very
social myself, and I must confess that

coveting. But we can be mansions
and then we can entertain. Only
think of the grand men and women
who have entertained and will enter

Now, all this is here-not after, as
we say, we leave earth. You must
leave earth before you leave, or I don't
know that you will ever leave it: for
