ligions of the world, with view to en-
abling them to e1pound the merits of
their respective creeds.
2. To give these representatives an
opportunity of acquainting themselves
with the principles of every religion,
and thereby enabling them to Judge
how far each religion is based on true
and unimpeachable principles.
8. To ascertain what practical,
social and moral effects each religion
has provided upon the community pro-
Tossing it.
A. To set forth how far the doctrines
of each religion are in conformity with
reason, science and the laws of nature.

ion, and to scrutinize the system fol-
lowed in the preservation of its tradi-
tions.
6. To show, in an exhaustive man
ner, the various religious teachings
common to each religion.
7. To enable the representatives OF
the various religions to draw conclu-
sions as to the merits or dement's of
the various religions, not in an an
tagonistic but in a truth-seeking
spirit. t.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Think of Gods Sufferings.

Almighty God, comfort US bythy fullness
Our strength is but weakness, our knowledge
is but small, our wisdom Is as naught, ouJ
vision narrow, our life but passing away.
BY thine eternal wisdom, thine unshaken
power thy constant years, thy untailina
love, uphold and comfort US. When out 0i
patience with ourselves, as oftentimes We
are when, weary with our work. we come
to think we might as we'll cease from 1t, fo'
there seems to be no fruit Of all our labor,
and we cry. like that sad soul OF old, Now
O Lord. take away my life, for l am not bet,
ter than my fathers 7" when the fire Of
life is dying down, and the ashes o.
the old fire threaten to put out what little
there is left: when the world had no new thing
to teach. when the lights Of life are din,
and when the oil OF life has run out-Lora
God! at these times let US think OF thy long
suffering, that the burdens thrown down In
dull despair we may take again with fresh
courage that we may sirg thy songs and
tell one another of thy patience and love, and
so be strong to endure even unto the end
Amen.

Faith Till the End.

When am sick and tired 1t Is Gods will
Also Gods will alone is sure and best ..
So in my WEAKNESS find my rest,
And 30 in poverty 1 take my fill
Therefore see my good in midst Of Ill;
Therefore In loneliness build my nest,
And through hot noon pant toward the
shady west,
And hope in sickening disappointment still.
So, when the times of restitution come,
The sweet times of refreshing come at last,
My God snail flll my longings to the brim;
Therefore I wait and look aud long for HIM
Not wearied, though the work is wearisone,
Nor fainting, though the time is almost past
