our congratulations TO the air In the hope
that the dear one might hear them
The soul is too important TO die, and
the body Is too unimportant to exist for
more than few decades. IL Is u very
curious fact that every man Is in love
with his own soul or personality, He
prizes that somthing which he calls his
real self above all other possessions. lie
would not exchange himself, even though
conscious ot many u weakness, for any
other human being on the earth, lie
may find fault with fate and deem him
self harshly used: stil he would rather
be himself with poverty than any other
with wealth.
Not SO with the body, That is quite
another matter No one thinks OF his
body as hlmself-only as a minor part OF
himself. He would be glad TO have an
other body. just as we would be glad TO
move out OF a wretched hovel into a we'll
built mansion We by no means have
the same pride in body that we have in
personality. We might be happy to get
rid OF the one. but nothing could tempt
us to part with the other.
And what reason DO you suppose God
could have for destroying soplg Moth
ing else in the universe Is destroyed. and
why should the greatest OF His creations

petite are merely whetted by our earthly
experience; We simply acquire keen
relish and then the house falls into ruins
and We must leave It.
Another body. another life. another en-
vironment! That is what the soul has
prophesied for itself as a consequence OF
Gods goodness and wisdom. And then
comes ringing through the ages the Voice
which checks our tears at separation and

perience and skin has been embodied in

The Oregon delegates can do a great

pressing upon their fellow delegates at

district. as warning against strad-

candidate for president who is not above

For, as strong as the Republican party
undoubtedly now IS throughout the eoun-
try, no man can be elected president on
its ticket who Is liable to the slightest
suspicion Of uncertainty on this vital Is
sue. The American people are not Ia
the mood to stand any further trifing
on This subject No talk Of tariff, Blaine

Republican history. the starry banner,
etc. will go this year. These arguments
would all be good enough under ordinary

they cannot be used to obscure the real

BEYOND THE HORIZON.

In my Fathers house are many mansions
John, xiv, =.
What a difference there is between a
house in which family resides and a
house that is empty, And yet it is the
same house. or rather it is not the
same house at ALL
Suppose you visit It on some festive oc-
casion. The rooms are brilliantly light
ed. there is the hum Of many voices, or
the rich melody Of merry laughter, ard
the very air pulsates with buoyant life.
There is neither nook nor corner in
which good cheer is not found. and as
you mlngie with the throng you are i'm
pressed by the prevailing exuberance.
Everything as well as everybody seems
to be thoroughly alive, and even pictures
and furniture tremble and throb with
the general joyousness.
But cross the threshold after the house
has been deserted for a few weeks You
are met by an ominous sort Of gloom.
The rooms are as they were, the pic
tures and furniture are all there, but
something more than the family has ap-
parently departed The spirit OF the
house. so to speak, has gone, and the
gathering dust and the hollow echo OF
your voice remind you that a remark
able change has taken place and that an
inexpressible element is wanting.
In like manner what a difference be-
tween body with a soul in whole heart
ed possession Of all its functions and
body from which the tenant has removed.
1t is the same body and yet It is not the
same at all.
When the man who owned It was in
occupation, how warmly the hand was
thrust out 10 give you welcome, what
generous words fell from the lips either
in congratulation or in coincidence, and
how flashed the eyes as though each were
a hearthstone filled with blazing logs.
The body was subject to the will OF the
tenant and obeyed his slightest behest.
It ran or walked danced or sang, knelt
or climbed with a kind Of glad willing
ness.
But something has happened There
lies that body but It stlrs not 1t is
neither hospltable nor kind. You recog-
nize every feature, but still your friend
is not there. You speak, but the ear is
dull for the first time. You take the
hand, but there is no responsive pressure.
The eyes refuse even to open, though
they were never guilty OF such discour-
tesy before.
What has occurred? Only this, that
your comrade has moved out Of his old
home and gone elsewhere to live. You
did not see him go, and you cannot say
exactly where his new residence is, and
for that reason you are mystifed and
perhaps greatly troubled. What we do
not understand is apt to disturb us. But
the only difference between the first Illus
tration, the empty house, and the second,
the empty body, is that when the family
moved they left word as to their desti-
nation, and the sufferer who moved did
not.
1t doesn't follow that because you do
not know where your friend is he there
fore is not and yet that is the Illogical
assertion which doubt relterates to our
constant dlsmay We often drop a tear
on a grave, whereas II we could see

HOW TO INSPIRE FAITH IN AAIERI-
CAN SECURITIES.

A recent financial article in the Chi
eago Tribune says:
England, during the last quarter Of a
century, has not had such a plethora OF
money as there is at the present time
in London. Il is seeking all forms OF
investment. Government consols have
advanced 10 a point beyond anything
in their history. Money rates in Lon
don have gone down to the lowest point
in the history Of banking and rates as
low as "A OF per cent have been made.
AS a consequence Of this plethora the
promoters are getting up countless enter
prises with hope that much OF the idle
money may be put into them. The capi-
tai stock and bond issues Of the COM
panies organized during the last three
months amount 10 hundred millions
There would be no such unwholesome
activity as this were II not that the own
ers Of this vast mass OF surplus capital
are deprived Of their old markets They
will not touch South America since the
Argentine bubble burst. They have had
enough of Australia. They are afraid
10 put their money into American securi-
ties, railroad or industrial, because they
are apprehensive that those securities,
for which they have TO pay 1CO-cent dol
lars II they buy them now, Will be re-
deemed later on in 5O-cent dollars.
Thus, money is going a-begging in Eng
land, but when this condition Of affairs is
considered and compared with the con-
ditions existing in the United States, the
situation in this country does not look
encouraging. Money rates here continue
high, and while there has been a decline
in interest rates within the last week
rates still continue high.
Gold continues going out and the gold
reserve now stands at less than $4,000
eco. The abundance OF call money in
New York makes it probable that gold
will continue to go out for the next three
weeks at least. There are practically no
commercial bills offering and consequent
ly gold is the cheapest form Of remit
tance.
As gold is exported the treasury re-
serve falls and business men get nervous.
Manufacturers are disinclined TO make
goods and merchants to buy them. II
win be necessary 10 sell more bonds at
a sacrifice in order TO replenish the gold
reserve and keep the present dull times
from becoming painfully hard ones.
This depressed condition of affairs would
cease in the twinkling Of an eye II the
owners of the surplus English capital
were satisfied that the United States was
going to be financially honest and stick
10 the gold standard. They are not sure
but what, after they have paid gold dol
lars for American stocks and bonds, they
win be, unable, owing to free sllverite
dishonesty, which they see the conven-
tions of a great party recommending, to
get their pay for those stocks and bonds
