from heart perception of their value in our keeping.
 At this hour, weary heads and hands find rest meanwhile that eyes now gaze into the rubine mass. Does the comfort received foster sympathy with suffer- ing, stricken, desolate humankind? Does charitable feeling revive over the per- meating glow of the we'll appreciated coals? Or is it self alone that ease and blessing are demanded and desired?
 There is living, loving message, in the ruddily blazing fire, emitting bril- liant sparks not to be lost from bright ness. The color of the flames seems like love--love to all humanity, one common brotherhood, as we are spiritually taught by precept combining with pur- est example. The liveliness of heat mo- ton is like love in action. The beauti- ful images presented, and the glow, have their counterpart, spiritually re- fined, in the enkindled heart emotions. The dsire of well doing governs while the fire burns. We know that the light of heaven shines alike on all, although all see not alike There is no passive gain of spiritual discernment. Ones own eyes must do their seeing. It is to the uplifted vision that heavenly light descends Faith is both active and re- receptive, proving it's genuine quality by it's pure activity.
 As the autumn days reveal the ap- proach of dreary season, we find in well known, beauteous flower this sign of heavens love received and given the blue fringed gentian lifts it's eye of trust and longing unto highest heaven, receiving graces marvellous to our en- raptured gaze. To all cold, sunless in- fiuences this flower Is irresponsive Its eye uncloses to look upon the sunlight only--the warmth, the life, the light of all the earth, When the fullness of light may not be had, who can know what may be held sacred, invisible, in the heart of the sky hued flower? Or in the spirit of the world untroubled, trust fuI human child of the All Father?
 It is delightful, in a wintry evening" to sit breeding over a fire of burning ceals, dreamily musing over past ex- periences, and lingering fondly upon best loved wishes woven after the pat tern of our secret dreaming Still, viz orous action afterward is far better for prosperous human life. They who real ly live know this, and are true lights indicating that heaven reigns within, rot without, that its Kingdom is begun, not completed here; that continual pro- gression in every good and beautiful consideration brings ever nearer to the divine original-the indwelling pres ence-which We name God.
 Soul was not creaated unto destruc- ton, but breathed unto divine purpose, for spiritual fulfiiment, its iife-Which no power can kill-deyelops by all means known to be mot against that power which draws us by radiating, irresist- i ibIe truth!

ular to-day. There was an approach to demorali2ation at the opening owing to lower cables from London and the execution of stop loss orders and sales by local commission houses, The break in the active issues at this time ranged from E to 2& per cent, Pacific Mall, Big Four Consolidated Gas the grang- CTS and the international issues lead ing, Some Of the specialties which are rarely dealt in scored even heavier loss es on light dealings,
 The decline in the general market was checked in the first hour, strong houses having turned up as buyers of the standard issues for investment ac- count London subsequently, bought liberally of St. Paul and other inter national issues. The foreign buying of St. Paul was on a large scale some es- timating it at fully 10000 shares.
 The local short interest, which has become quite heavy of late, because of the bond issue development and the un- certainty which 1t is thought must ex- ist in financial circles until the matter is finally settled, became alarmed at the London and commission house buy ing and endeavored to cover. The re- suit was q rise Of from F to 1& per cent. Tobacco led the upward move- ment and sold as high as 80. The grangers, Louisville and Nashville, Su- gar, Chicago Gas, Leather preferred, Iot T,; n1I shared in the improvement. Sugar was benefited by Washington rumors that the senate will not tamper with the sugar tariff after all.
 In the European trading some highly sensational rumors regarding the Eu- ropean political situation were circu- lated. One story was that the German ambassador had been fired on in Lon don. The rumor originated here, was telegraphed to Boston as a report cur rent in the board, and was later sent from Boston to New York as an actual fact. Of course there was nothing in it. The gold withdrawals had a little more effect in the last hour. The en- agreements of the metal for export were reported at $3,475,000. This total in cludes the s5O00OO engaged by Lazard Freres last week but held here, sub ject to foreign orders, by that firm. Against this there was deposited s1,000,- 900 gold in exchange for greenbacks by various city banks and bullion dealers. Of the gold withdrawals $1500,000 ;end possibly $2,000,000 may be forwarded to- morrow. The sensational rumors and the gold movement resulted in reac- tion of AQ1 per cent, in the general list and 21a per cent. in Tobacco.
 Speculation closed barely steady in tone. Net changes show losses of 1s@ 21s per cent, in some of the active stocks and gains of 1s@1R per cent. in others.

Emory and the State University VIII
Have Their Joint Debate.

Oxford. Ca, April 9.-In the Savannah
Morning News of the nth inst. some
statements appear from Athens, Ga,
touching the intercollegiate debate be-
tween Emory College and the University
Of Georgia. The facts in the case are
these:
Some two months ago EmOrys repre-
sentatives on this debate went over TO
Athens to arrange the details Of the de-
bate. When IL came TO selection of judges
Emory selected DR.. John w, Heidi Judge
Logan E. Bleckley and Judge Emory
Speer. The University agreed finally TO
this arrangement. Then it was thought
that in view of a possible refusal TO
serve on the part of some Of the judges,
two other gentlemen should be selected
to meet this emergency Accordingly,
Judge j. S. Boynton and Judge Jas. r.
Brown were proposed by Emory and
agreed to by the University. Judge Speer
refused to serve; so did Judge Bleckley.
Then Judges Boynton and Brown were
written to, and Judge Boynton will serve
US 1t is not yet certain what Judge
Browns decision will be. In case he
refuses, Emory viii suggest the Hon. Nat
Harris OF Macon for the third place. We
are not backing OUT much.
