possible for G cd to be quiescent SO long
as an antagonist to himself or to his

1t is an urgent necessity with God. a
necessity that inheres in himself, to re-
duce to harmony the realm of matter
and the realm of souls. Whatever the
condition of the spirit world, God is op-

things-to secure perfect order and har-
mony, perfect holiness and happiness.
With the attainment OF less than this it
is impossible that G ID should be salts
fied."-Rev. G. T. Flanders, DID,.

The Turk obsti- from ConstantinopIe
haCe' reveals very clearly
that in attempting to arrange the peace
negotiations between Turkey, and
Greece, the European powers have an
embarrassing problem on their hands in
view of the contumacy of the Porte. The
Turk is obstinate and will not accede to
the proposals made by the European

pending the arrival of fresh instruc-

suspended. 1t is stated in Athens that
Italy has proposed coercive measures
against Turkey, and it is also reported
that the Turkish ministers have &C.

remains obstinate. Even at the cost of
another war, it would be good thing

THIS week Thursday,
The Logan MOnu July 22nd, is the day
menu set apart for the un.
yelling of the bronze statue of Major
General John A. Logan on the lake front
park. After the ceremonies at the monu.
ment at one o'clock in the afternoon,
there will be a parade of Grand Army
of the Republic. the State militia and
United States troops which have been
ordered here for the occasion. The day
will be observed as general holiday in
the city, and will undoubtedly be a
memorable occasion. The military and
civic procession will be one of the lar

is the work of Augustus st. Gauden's
and is regarded as masterpiece of that
great artist 1t is based on one of the
most dramatic episodes of the Civil War
The statue represents General Logan,

soldier is splendidlY depicted in this

General Logan while living unite in this
memorial to the dead soldier whose his
