say that unless three more reservoirs are
created at once and two fresh sources
of supply are discovered, there will
not be enough water to supply Parisians

Exposition Universelle which is to close
one century and open another. AT least
s20.000.00O. it is estimated, will be re-
quired to furnish this additional water.

millions required for the building of the
Exposition will be serious drain on the
resources of the pleasure capital of the

or network of roads which are now
being planned by means of which
the kingdom will be fully developed
and modernized much as the English
have done in India, though as the
work is under their own government
the results will probably be even
more beneficial in Korea's case than
in that of British India. Ever since
the above grant was made to Mr..
Morse similar but still more exten-
sive grant has been made to French
syndicate, for a road running from
Seoul north to Wi Ju on the Chinese
frontier. This road will also bring
Korea in closer connection with the
Cars dominions and it is supposed
to be due to his influence that the
French obtained the grant. The
road will be, perhaps, the most i'm
portant of all the roads contemplated
in opening up new and rich territory
and it is easy to foresee in the COM
pletion of these two railroads, one
opening up the interior and the other
giving an outlet to the sea, new
era of prosperity for Seoul, the capt.
tol of rich and populous Korea. The
commercial and industrial and even
the political Importance of Korea will
be greatly enhanced by these two
roads and still further augmented by
other roads and other commercial
and industrial ventures now being
planned. Korea is rapidly COM
ing to the front and with Japan and
awakened China may soon make
Oriental civilization a much greater
factor in the worlds progress and
prosperity than the East has been
for ages.

NEW FOES WITH OLD FACES.
BY ]. W. HANSON. D. D.

The Christian religion had been in
this world but little more than CEN
tury when pagan philosopher wrote
a remarkable work against it, for it
was only hundred and fifty years af.
ter the death Of our Lord when CELSIUS
produced his "Logos Aleethees," i"
"True Discourse" 1t employs logic,
satire, and all the resources of a
copious dialectic, and assails the new
religion on every side and at every
angle. All ancient and modern
Christians haye agreed with the old
historian Cave, who said: "He at
tempted Christianity with all the arts
of insinuation, all the wicked refec-
tiops, virulent aspersions, plausible
reasons, whereunto a man of parts
and malice was capable to assault it. !"
To which De Pressense adds: "Celsus
collected in his quiver all the objec-
tions possible to be made, and there
is scarcely one missing of all the ar
rows which in subsequent times have
been aimed at the supernatural in
Christianity" He may be regarded
as the ablest and bitterest as he was
the first of all the early writer's
against our religion.
1t is one of the remarkable trans
positions of modern times that the
objections he brought to bear against
Christianity and which were opposed
by all Christian apologists and de-
tenders, pre-eminently by Origen in
his great work against CELSIUS" are
now being repeated by the pens and
tongues of some who assume the
Christian name and who label their
utterances christianity"
What are some of these-"Old foes
wearing new faces" or "New Foes
with Old Faces?
l. CELSIUS denies that Christianity
is supernatural revelation. He de-
clares that it is only one develop
ment of the religious nature of man,
abounding in errors and falsehoods
as do all other religions.
2. He denies that the prophecies
of the Old Testament referred to
Jesus, or were fulfilled him.
8. He denied the divinity of Christ.
4. He denied the resurrection of
Jesus.
s. He rejected the miracles of the
New Testament.
6. He declared that there is moth
ing new or original in Christianity.
Z. He regarded Jesus as a good
man who labored to improve the
condition of mauki.d, but who had
no special claims or authority.
8. He taught that inspiration is
universal, differing in degree in diff
ferent persons, but the same in kind
in all.
These are his principal objections
to Christianity.
Some years after his death, at the

Contrary expressions among us have
been sporadic and soon silent. Any
statement of Universalism, whether
what it is n ot or what it is, that omits
this fact will be so far inaccurate and
deficient. In this regard, as in other
respects the great Origen is our pro-
totype.

propriate abiding place, overlooking
the site upon which it originally
stood, where the poet completed his
immortal work.
The passage of the special act in
troduced by Senator Guy, granting
the sum of ten thousand dollars for
the establishment of Poe Park, marks
new era in the growth of public
spirit in our commercial metropolis.
At the time of his death Poe was a
citizen of New York, as was General
Grant in his time. and in the field of
letters his was the conqueror's laurel.
1t was, therefore, fitting that prece-
dent should be created by SO signifi-
cant an official testimonial as this
offering of the Poe Park by the mum
icipality of New York to the memory
OF its most illustrious literary genius.
The announcement that colossal
statue of Poe has already been de-
signed by w. Ordway Partridge deep
ems the interest that will be generally
felt in this creation of lasting me-
mortal to the poet.
In his tribute to the genius of Poe,
Charles whitley aptly says, in his
recently published eulogium: 'The
criticism of Poe inaugurated a new
era, a new cult of taste and beauty.
Whether in theory or in practice, he
was ahead, not only of his time, but
OF all time. 1t is not surprising that
Poe's multiform genius should have
proved dominant influence upon
European literature. Not only was
he sombre light to the decadence,
not only was-he guiding flame in
the pathway of the mystics, but he
revived the novel of adventure and
lost treasure, of the South seas and
OF Captain Kidd. Henceforth Poe
was free to shape the literature of
France. 1t was his example that
moulded the conte to it's ultimate
completion. His talents of compress
sion and facile exposition, his gift of
building up situation in hundred
words, were initiated by the army of
writers who first perfected the short
story and then sent it across the
channel.
HE is known ani read in those re-
mote corners which he described, vet
never saw. He is as familiar in Spain
as in Scandinavia, and but year ago
The Raven was translated, direct
from English, in far-off Valparaiso.
And here is the final contrast of
his life. The prophet of silence and
seclusion is blown to the four winds
OF heaven. But he has conquered
glory without abating one jot his
proper attitude of aristocracy. He
is still as exclusive and morose as his
stories. Between him and his fanta-
sizes there is no discord.
"You imagine him always stern
faced, habited in black, with Virginia
GLENN at his side, Virginia, shadowy
as Ligeia, amiable as the mild Eleon-
ora in the valley of the many colored
grass. Though he dwelt in mid
America, he was yet in fairyland, and
though the squalor of penury and
the magazines gave him neither AN
cestral half nor moss grown abbey
he lived and died enclosed within the
castle of his mind"
