II is probable that the nine members
of the Commission selected by the Presi-
dent will perform the bulk of the work
of the body. OF course it viii be neces-
sary for the Commission to move from
place TO place in the course of its in
vestigations and in view of the fact that
some of the senators and representatives
on the Commission will not be able 10
leave their seats in Congress, it is likely
that they will hand over the greater por-

in the Committee Room of Senator
gate the Various Branches of In
dustry and Report to Congress.

The American Industrial Commission,
from the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives, and from several of the lead
ing manufacturing industries, which has
been delegated by Congress to investigate
the labor and agricultural problems and
their relation to capital. viii hold its first
meeting in the committee room of sena-
tor Kyle at the Capitol on Monday. Oc-
tober II.
The greatest Importance attaches to the
meetings of this joint commission, for
the reason that Congress will wait upon
it for recommendations affecting the
questions to be considered.
These recommendations will, in all
probability, be Incorporated into legisla-
tion of vitally important character, and
new laws affecting almost every INDUSTRY
in the country enacted.
The Industrial Commission was created
In accordance with bill which passed
Congress at the last session The bill was
entitled: IAN act authorizing the ap-
pointment of a non-partisan commission
to collate information and to consider
and recommend legislation to meet the
problems presented by labor, agriculture
and capital"
The bill was originally introduced in the
House during the Fifty-fourth session by
former Representative Thomas W. fhii-
Ups. of Pennsylvania, who has been ap-
,,ointed a member of the commission by
the President. but it failed OF passage
during that Congress. When Mr. Phlillps
retired from the House at the eiose oi
that session, Gen. Grosvenor' OF Ohio'
championed the bill, and when Congress
reconvened he reintroduced it. 1t was
subsequently passed by the House ana
went to the Senate, where its passage
was engineered by Senator Perkins OF
California.

there is one basis of this unity and that

His Apostles. He who builds on any
other foundation builds on sand.

a prayer for unity by faAtn and union by
love. I pray, Father, that all who be

Unity in the Church.

Now, where shall we find that unity
and concord which Christ so earne silly de-
mands? We shall find It only in the
Catholic church. The church of God con-
tains about $50. 600, 600 adherents, scat
tered throughout the globe. They have
all one Lord. one baptism, one faith, one
creed. They receive the same sacra-
ments, they worship at the same altar,
they pay allegiance to the same spiritual
head.
mo matter how learned or popular a
man may be, as soon as he contuma-
ciously denies a single article of faith, or
witIhdraws from the union of his legiti-
mate pastor, he is cut off like a withered
branch from the vine of the church.
Henry VIII, impelled by lust. sought to
be divorced from his lawful wife Cath
crime Of Aragon, with the view of marry
ing Anne Boleyn. The church told him
that what God had Joined together no
man could put asunder."

of the canons OF the church in relation
to divorce. and of the division which fol-
lowed the refusal of the Pope to grant

Christ,s Memorable Words.

when our Lord promised the keys of
His kingdom TO Saint Peter he used these
memorable words: Thou art Peter, and
on this rock / will build my church and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against
it He did not establish or sanction
various conflicting creeds, but one undi-
vided and indivisible church
In the gospel / read today our Saviour
compared his church to a sheep fold:
Other sheep I have that are not of this
fold. Them I must bring in, and there
shall be one fold and one shepherd ,
What a beautiful idea of unity In families
is the figure of a sheep fold, All the
sheep cling together, and If they are mo-
mentarily separated they are impatient
until they are reunited. They follow the
same path, obey the same shepherd feed
in the same pasture, fly from the voice of
strangers.
And so was IL the intention of the
Divine Shepherd that all the sheep of his
flock, that is, all members of his church
should be guided by the same rue OF
faith, should be nourished by the same
sacraments and bread of life, that they
should listen TO the voice of the same
divinely appointed pastors"
Cardinal Gibbons referred to other CON-
parisons which Christ instituted, liken-
ing His church TO a kingdom, to a vine
and TO a human body. and spoke of the
same spirit of unity which was reflected
in each simile.

ficting interests and to be equitable to

authorized by the bill to give hearings
and if necessary to appoint a subcom-
mission or subcommissions of ici own
members to make Investigations in any
part of the United States. 1t was pro-
vided that the commission should report
to Congress from time to time, but when
its Iabors were concluded 1t should sub
NIT a final report. The tenure of the
commission was fixed at two years. but
in view of the wide scope of its labors II
is hardly possible that they can be con-
cluded in that time. Members of the
commission calculate that it will require
at least five years to properly and fully
perform their duties.

acter, and for that reason Its recon-
mendations will carry great deal OF
weight.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

After an absence of some months, the
moving pictures of the Passion Play"
which were on view for some time last
Spring at the Columbia Theater returned
yesterday evening to the Lafayette
Square Opera House, 'wnere they were
exhibited to an audience that was rather
more notable for its appreciation than
its size. There have been no changes
made in the entertainment since its local
production, and last nights house was in
turn amused, thrilled and impressed by
the drama of Oberamergrau just as il
was on each of the prior occasions. The
pieces given are all excellent, the ma
chine used having been so perfected that
the ocular strain is much less than would
otherwise be the case. There is no jar
ring whatever and so little variation as
to location that the spectators are often
constrained to forget that the events
before them are not more the result of
the passions of a past age than of the
inventive genius of present one. AS
ever, the pictures are put on in admirable
order, their sequence serving to explain
every point as IL is reached The lecture
was last night delivered py Prof. James
Skelly, of Philadelphia, and while that
gentleman has several unpleasant man
nerisms and an often notable broadness
of voice totally at variance with that
which is ideal in a public speaker, he
gave an excellent rendering of the de-
scription Blanche Yewell and N Du-
shane Coward sang the Incidental music
with marked effect. the latter being
heard to particular advantage. His exc
cution of THE Palms" has never been
excelled in this city and brought hearty
encore. The entire entertainment was a
delightful one. and left a strong impress

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a
better article than your competi-
tor if you can not get a better
price for 1t ?,S %. HTr
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, SO that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought pro-
minently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one.
