The Cross as a Symbol
Of the Regenerated Soul

DEV. J. S. DAVID of the Swedenborg
N Mission Society explained the symbology
- - of the cross and the crucifixion at
Washington Hall yesterday, illustrating his
sermon by several pictures of crosses in
various forms used By fraterEities of high
antiquity. In exoteric Christianity. he said,
the cross stands for selfdenial and the devel-
opment of the spiritual through suffering.
The spirit crosses the tendencies of the flesh,
and thus the flesh or carnal nature is crossed
or crucified. The Rosicrucian symbol of the
cross and the rose represented the suppression
of the carnal desires and thence the unfold
ing and fragrance of the spiritual life. The
ancient Egyptian Crux Ansara, shaped like
surmounted By circle, was the symbol of
in mortality, life without beginning or end.
In the deeper Christianity, as unfolded by
Swedenborg, the cross signifies the marriage
of the good and the true in the regeuerated
soul, the result OF the crucifxion of the carnal

Labor is rest from the sorrows that greet us.
From all the petty vexations that meet u.s.
from the sin promptinps that assail US,
From the world sirens that lure US to ill.,
When the gate of the first paradise closed
God IN his great mercy opened another-that
was the gate to useful labor
Ilmes oil deepest degradation for the race

ano the laborer despised. The race has only
grown In wisdom and stature when labor's
strong arm has been allowed to lift itself in
greatest honor and freedom. Labor's feet are
not IN the way that goeth down TO the nit but
on the golden highway that leade tn up to the
CITY Where the divine carpenter sits upon the
throne Though the feet may weary and the
neart ana head grow sick in the struggle, it is
that the toiler may near the divine laborer

in a cross when truth leads to goodness of lite
and enters into marriage Herewith. The

unfolded makes the cross. The true leng tn
and breadth of the ordinary an cient cross was
in the relation of four to three, these num-

symbolizes the celestial Sabbath OF The soul.

The Triumphal Entry Of
Christ Into Jerusalem

x YESTERDAY at st. Johns Episcopal
" Church Rev. DR.. Spalding preached on
- Christs entry into Jerusalem, and told
how on Palm Sunday so many years ago a
great multitude followed Jesus singing hosan-
mas and praise. His disciples and friends
must have thought that he vas now going to
enter into his kingdom. They did not know
that his was to be heavenly and not an
earthly one, that his crown was to be one of
thorns. The speaker went on to tell of the
Masters life during the following week. OF
how he wept over Jerusalem as he looked
down through the ages 10 It's destr uction of
his cleansing the temple, OF st. Peters denial.
of his sufferings and his trial, and finally of
his death upon the cross for the sins of the
world He exhorted each one to think of the
love which was manifested by the Savior's
life to take him a personal Savior and real
ize that he died for each one of us.

MEXICO IN THE TOLLS.
GOLD-BUGS HAVE HER BY THE THR DAT.
Will Force the Adoption of Gold Standard.

New YORK, Aug. 2o.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Mexico City says:
Exchange Oh New York has reached I45
premium. In other words, it takes $2.45 Mex
lean money to buy an American dollar. This
enormous depreciation of the Mexican dollar is
running merchants. They are Cancelling all
orders for imports, and many will close their
stores, as they cannot sell the stock on hand at
a rate high enough to leplenish them. They
believe that the price is unnaturally depressed,
and is due to conspiracy abroad.
Meanwhile, home manufactures are booming
as the depreciation in silver makes high tar
if wall. Coffee, sugar, tobacco and sisal hemp
planters are prosperous, as they sell abroad for
gold, and PAY THEIR LABORERS IN SILVER.
The Mexican dollar buys as much goods as it
ever did, except of the imported variety.
The government is hard hit as it has to pay
the interest on the foreign debt i'll gold. There
is some talk of reputation, but there is NJ
knowing what President Diaz will do. He
may refund the per cent. debt, paying only 3
per cent. interest
Capitalists are hocking into the country to
take advantage of the high premium and invest
in gold The belief here is that labor paid in
silver will eventually win against labor paid in
gold. In support of this theory, it is pointed
out that the tin mines of Cornwall will have to
shut down because they cannot compete with
those in the straits settlements and Borneo,
where Mexican dollars are current. Bankers
here say handful of men in London man p
ulating the money of the world, which means
that they are controlling the prices of the
world, and that it is the old fight of tn. mon
arch against society.
