t3ut not only does the Bible satisfy
the intellect by giving the only tenab,e
philosophy Of life. but 1t gives, also,
spiritual hope and solace and comfort.
This Is a fact which agnostioism could
never knock down. It Is positive and
an affirmative fact, upheld by the tes-
timony of millions Of truthful men and
women In all circumstances Of earthiy
fortune and representing all conditions
of mind and spirit. The speaker drew
an eloquent picture of his widowed
mother. chair-ridden in bleak Maine
home. poor as poverty could be and yet
sustaind through every varying vicis-
situde by faith in that Book which
nothing in all the world could weaken;
and In conclusion he asked those 20
whom honest doubt sometimes came to
think long and clearly before putting
aside that which could comfort the op-
pressed, cheer the sorrowing and carry
new life and hope to every grade Of
misfortune.
DR.. Reeds sermon was an earnest,
honest and powerful one, relieved at

which heard It.
DR.. Pearce called upon Rev. Dr.. J: Il.
Price to say q few words to his old
congregation. The invitation was &C.
cepted and the words were prefaced by
an apt tribute to Dickinson college.
DR.. Prices alma mater, and to its
scholarly president. DR.. Price recalled
the fact that as q sophmore he had
taken home from Dickinson college q
gold medal won for excellence in ora
tory. and had placed It In his mothers
lap, making her the proudest mother.
as he was the proudest son. In all the
land. Again. as Junior at college.
he had taken home another medal, and
laid 1t in the lap Of certain young
woman. and perhaps the winning OF
that medal had helped him to win her.

In this strain Of personal "Reminiscences,

V1smnrck's Opponents.

Aside from the childishness OF their
proceeding. the opposition elements In
the German Reichstag made a grave po-
Nticai blunder In refusing to send birth
day congratulations to Bismarck AS an
original proposition. the question was not
n political one. The resolution voted down
involved nothing more than recogni-
ton by the German people, through their
representatives. OF the debt OF gratitude
que Bismarck for the part he bore in
accomplishing German unity.
The Reichstag. however. by their stu
pidity, dragged the matter into the arena
pf politics. and stirred up bitter party
s,rifc over an event which otherwise would
probably have passed into history simply
rs q remarkable series OF festivals. The
developments since the action Of the
Reichstag show that Bismarck has even a
stronger hold upon the hearts OF the
masses than was at first supposed. Fur
lhermore. the Emperor Is In accord with
the masses In resenting the affront to
che old Chancellor. and the result may
be that the latter may again become the
power behind the throne In the sense that
bis influence will predominate.
There have been decided signs recently
that William was veering towards Bis
marckism. and the present may prove his
opportunity for dissolving the Reichstag.
rallying the people TO his support. and
securing a conservative and reactionary
majority.
