A NATURAL GHOMTU


Mr.. Gerkie in his Life Of Christ"
spends many pages to show how society
and the whole life OF. the average man OF
that day and country was hide-bound,
cribbed, cabined, and confined by rules
and regulations. There was something
for the baby. the child. the adult, the
grown up. ana the advanced in years to
observe and do from early morn til bed
time. The clothing and regimen Of the
heart and mind were as fixed and rigid
as those of the body; and both were a
sort OF case armour that utterly ignored
force and natural growth. The intellec-
tual and moral surface OF things was, as
81 were. overspread by network that
forbade any bud from beneath the sur
face to show its head. Man was alto
gether a made-up ahair--a thing Of Laws
and observances and outsdes, almost
without a soul. Paul, the great philoso-
pher. in his many discussions of the law
and faith. explains and presses the same
idea.
Mr.. Gerlle enlarges upon tho wonder
ful power and life Of the Divine Being
that could rise right through the smother
ing. expressing mass, disentanglng the
meshes. and rise into the free air and
light OF divine manhood. What gigantic,
wonderful nature It was that could so
assert itself and dlsenthrall mankind.
His office was not TO destroy the law,
but to fulhll to give life 10 the dry bones
OF law; 10 give meaning TO what had fall
len into senseless. heartless rules and
requirements; TO restore them to their
first dignity. which meant life-"Which, If
ye do. yo shall even live in them"
Tho human scul from its first parent.
as part OF It's fallen nature. has inherited
Incidence. IL likes to save itself the
trouble OF thinking. Most men and wo-
men prefer 10 relieve themselves of the
responsibility OF their individuality, ami
avoid the risk OF being their own selves
by running with the crowd and thorough
ly losing themselves in the throng So IL
Is that they cover their heart, soul, mind.
and body with tho common living and
grow altogether and all alike. They en-
list as common soldiers OF the word.
The crowd. whether we call q "A rabble /
or a great party. or society. Is all bundled /
together with few common characters /
tics. Down below they are ugly, en-
Shaving appet!tes and passions; little /
higher it IS ambition and avarice that /
marks them. In the gay world il is
fashion and conventionality. pride. and
glare. and greed. But in every level and
department humanity is smothercd, shut
in, and unnaturaily dwarfcd.
The office of Christ was TO enfranch.se
humanity and lift our race TO know their
native and divine dignity. II is the Office
and duty OF every son OF man 10 assert
his native freedom and grow ana live
free, honest earnest. norma! life. whose
impulses and power shall come from the
heart. a knowledge OF divine manhood
is the absolute condition Of glorious lib
erty, lie that looks 10 that shall Know
the truth and the truth shall make him
free. There is bat one true freedom. and
that Is the glorious liberty OF the chill
dren OF Light-for which God made us;
out OF which the devil has cheated US.

It is proposed in Utah 70 organize In CO.
operation with neiehboring states an
arid Region Exposition" 20 be held
successfully in the principal cities OF the
East, for the purpose or showing the
nrodncts ana resources OF the arid region.
and OF trying TO dispel tho notion that
still exists in some quarters that the
country between the Rockies and the
Sierras Is a hopeless desert. given mp 10
sage brush and coyotes. The exposition
would be something on the lines OF the
california exposition soon % be held.
Specimens OF products from the fields
and orchards would be shown, with sam
pies OF the mineral treasures OF the re-
eion. The exhibits would be displayed IN
the chief cities first and then divided
up for exhibition in smaller eites anu
,hroughout the Eastern States. Tho main
idea Is. OF course. that such an exhibition
would attract immigration and capital TO
tho arid West.

in tho convention that framed the Con-
sttution Alexander Hamilton would never
give his assent 20 that insu umont until
tho judiciary clause was added to it
which gave the courts OF the United
States power 10 enforce the laws and the
Constitution Of tho United States. When
that clause was added 10 il he accepted
the Constitution. because he saw that the
National Government would have power
70 cocrce al refractory persons into obey

self in when &c undertook 10 investigate
tho charge that the SUGAR Trust had
brihod senators at tho time the new
tariff biz was before that body. The
committee had no power to punish for
contempt and had TO rely upon the
Of rccalcitrant witnesses in
tho courts. The result IS. that though
two years have gone by no refractory
have yet been punished, though |
tho scnato's power to proceed with Or
derby business is wholly dehed.
10 is IN the nature OF judicial bodies that |
hey shall have power to punish for con-

useless unless they have this power.
II is TO be hoped the proposed bill will
never be heard Of again.
