this seeming defect, which is part

DEATH OF REV. w. FRANKLIN

REV. w. FRANKLIN SMITH died in the
Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, COL, Of
consumption, Tuesday morning, Feb. 9.
He had gone to Colorado the first of
last October. hoping that course of
treatment in the Sanitarium would
prove beneficial; but he had waited too
long for either the treatment or the eli
M ate to benefit him. He was buried in
Lawrence. Kan. with the Odd Fellows
service at the grave.
Mr.. Smith was graduate OF Ryder
Divinity School and had several short
settlements in our church. Among
other places he was for year or more
pastor at Lapeer, Mich, and for a brief
time in Omaha, Neb. He spent a few
months before going to Colorado in Wis
consin, serving the Elkhorn and neigh
boring parishes. He was in feeble health
for many months before he gave up, and
Colorado air and sunshine was the last
resort, but, as the event proved. unavail-
ing. He has passed away in early youth.
leaving his young wife and daughter to
mourn their great bereavement. Mrs.
Smith is now at Macomb, ILL.,, where she
is teaching elocution and literature.

NOBLE LIVING"

We have read this little book with
much pleasure, and, we trust, with
equal profit. We find in it very little
to criticise and about everything to
commend. 1t consists of eleven es
says on as many different subjects
and by as many different clergymen
of our church, all of whom save one
may be classed among our younger
or middle aged ministers. The sub
jects, while different. all point in one
direction; they point towards the
"heights." They seek to elevate the
life. They would lift mems eyes from
the things of day to the things of
eternity. The essays, therefore, are
intensely, earnestly, Accordingly
spiritual. They grasp with strong
and vigorous hand the inward life.
They seek to develop that life which
sis hid with Christ in God" They
insist with mighty emphasis upon
the reality of this life, and in many
ways and by many thoughts aud
many happy expressions and beauti-
full words, set it forth, press it upon
the reader, and urge him to cultivate
it..
1t is, therefore, very timely aud
helpful book. Such books as this
are much needed in our day. We
are in great danger of losing the
spiritual sense and discounting the
spiritual life. Our materialism tends
to materialize the church, and the
word of truth is being turned into
dread and butter gospel" Relig-
ion is thought to be of little worth
unless it comes out in some scheme
to feed the body. There is great
need, therefore. of calling men
back to the inward life; of emphasiz-
ing the great truth that religion
is first of all the life of the spirit and
life in the spirit. and that it is of in
finite worth though it take no form
of outward philanthropy, and that all
these forms, however promising they
may be, will wither and die if they
are not fed from the springs of the
inward life.
This book, therefore, is book for
the times. 1t utters the much needed
word and breathes the much needed
spirit. 1t is the ripe spiritual fruit of
our faith. 1t is what Universalism
produces when taken into the soul
and made the guiding light and de-
veloping power of the spiritual af-
fections.
1t is in perfect harmony with our
faith and yet every one may find in it
a helpful and inspiring word though
he does not yet see the "great con-
summation. We welcome the book,
we rejoice in it, we commend it and
urge every one to read it and read it
often. We thought to mark one or
two of the chapters that especially
interested us, but where all are SO
good it would be invidious to select
any as especially so. Hence we say,
read them all, feed on them all and
let your soul delight itself in fat
ness" S. CRANE.

The age of the Vedas, from 1000 to 400
B. c., was that also of conquest, when the
Afyans cut down the forests, drained the
swamps, and filled the once savage India
with brilliant cities, full of schools, books
and learning. No more splendid the story
of conquest of the red 'Indians'' and the
winning of America, than the more an

The holy place of all three religions
and one of the most ancient cities on the
globe is Benares. AS the amber holds
for critic and microscope the wonderful
insect life OF geologic eons, SO the pre-
historic Vedie faith was here embalmed
in books. The splendid altar services
and priestly discipline of Brahmanism,
and the discipline of Buddha and his
monks and nuns, were elaborated here.
For centuries. pilgrims from all the Bud
dhist world came hither. The Chinese
envoy, Hiouen Thsang, in AID. $40. looked
upon thirty Buddhist monasteries, with
three thousand monks and a hundred
temples OF Hindoo gods. Now there are
no Buddhists in India proper, but only in
Ceylon
To-day the most imposing and most

Since the above was written the
powers have formally demanded that
Greece withdraw her squadron and
troops from Canea. The situation is
perilous not only for Greece but also for
Europe. The pride of the Greeks is
aroused aud it is possible that the gov
ment of the little country Of the Hellenes
may choose war between either OF the
Powers or with Turkey. rather than to
recede from her stand in behalf OF Crete.
No confidence is felt in the diplomacy
OF the European powers and the suspicion
grows that some OF them are play
ing treacherous part. The plausible
argument is set up. according to the
latest dispatches, that the Hellenes.
without promise of support, covert or
otherwise, would not thus defy and in
volve the powers and enrage the sultan.
Some point to Russia. others to Eng
land, as the secret promoter of the Gre
tan invasion, but all agree that the al
legged concert between the powers is as a
rope OF sand, and that motives of per-
sonal or diplomatic gain guide all their
acts, and that Greece's position is as
sumsd with recognition of the respon-
sibilities involved.

emphasized a very important fact, or

have placed very clearly before our read

theology on which the Universalist
Church is founded. 1.-The New Theol-

to religious opinion which was not
embraced by the early teachers of
Christianity and the great Alexandrian
