truths" observes the Interior (Pres.) of
Chicago. THE laws and facts Of ply
sizes, for example, are no different from
what they were a thousand or a million
years ago, and yet it is only compare
lively a little while since men first be-
gan to comprehend them. The vast
progress that has been made does not i'm
ply any change in the nature or tenden-
cies of physical forces. but it lies in the
success of the human mind in acquiring
knowledge of them and in it's skill in
employing and applying them. This is
equally true in the region of spiritual
dynamics. If the theologian had made
no progress in the past centuries it would
imply an atrophy of his powers. 1t
would imply that theology had passed
its prime and was descending to senility
and dissolution. And this is the conclu-
sion of the agnostic. He infers it from q
supposed incapacity of theology to
adapt itself to new conditions, and this
inference he draws from the seeming in
capacity of the churches to modify their
formularies, doctrinal, ritualistic and
other. But the truth is that Christian
ity has 50 grown, expanded and changed
in the past five hundred, or even three
hundred years, that there are no points
of external resemblance between its
present and its medieval past.

CHURCHLY NOTES

Efforts are being made by the Church
of Rome to heal the schism between it
self and the Coptic church, which has
existed for more than a thousand years.
The Coptic church is descended from
ancient Egyptian Christianity, and is
now dWindling before the advance OF
Mohammedanism. To rescue what is
left funds are being raised throughout
Europe to found a seminary at AleXan-
dria for the education Of the LeVites of
the Coptic rite. The head of the move
ment is placed in Belgium for political
reasons, this head being the archbishop
of Malines. A former vicar apostolic in
the Soudan has just left for Alexandria.
and upon his arrival a council of Coptic
leaders is to be held. 1t is said that the
schism is now, under the pressure of Mo
hammedanism, about to be healed and
the church to become once more an in
tegral part of that of Rome.
r
"Christian ethics,' says the Living
Church Up. E.) of Chicago, "are based
upon the Incarnation. If that great
fundamental fact be denied, or ignored,
the foundation is taken away. And
while few highly cultured souls might
be able TO give practical effect to their
belief in The universal fatherhood of Goo
and the universal brotherhood of man,
the majority of people, deprived of this
great motive power, will find themselves
unequal to this high moral idea, and
must inevitably sink TO lower level

Dilemma and the way out.

There are thousands of Hay-Fever and
Asthma sufferers who cannot resort to q
change of climate during their annual at
tacks, either because of the expense or be.
cause duties at home will not permit theiI
absence. They have to stay and suffer.
There are many, also, who are year by yeal
finding that places heretofore exempt are be-
coming less and less SO, and they must move
on to find new locations where they can es-
cape the Hay-Fever fiend.
Now this is all wrong. When doctors tell
you that Hay-Fever cannot be cured, they.
simply mean that they cannot cure you:
What is it that makes one man have hay.
Fever or Asthma and another escape entire
ly right by his side, exposed to the same pol.
len, same dust, same influences! The dust
is not the cause; the pollen is not the cause;
nasal growths are not the cause.
The disease is in the blood and nervous
system; and it is the constitutional pre-dis-
position that gives. power to the dust or pol
len or other exciting influences, to awaken
the disease and make one man suffer while
another goes free.
Our constitutional treatment for Asthma
and Hay-Fever is addressed to this pre- dispo-
sition, and by changing the constitution Il
eradicates the cause and cures to stay cured,
taking out of a man that which makes him
different from the man who has no disease,

This morning it was decided to hold
a personal interview with Gen. Toral.
Gen. Miles and his staff, who got no
further than Gen. Skaters headquar-
tiers last night, accompanied by Gen.
Shafter and his staff, rode out to the
front shortly before eight o'clock, TN
der a flag of truce. 4 request for a
personal interview with the Spanish
commander-ln-chief was made and &C.
ceded to.
Met Between the Lines.
At about nine o'clock Gen. Miles,
Gen. Shafter, Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Gil
mour, Col. Morse, Capt. Wiley and
Col. Maus rode up, passed over our in
valley beyond. They were met by
Gen. Toral and his chief of staff under
a spreading mango tree, at the bottom
of the valley, about half way between
the lines. The interview that followed
lasted an hour.
Represented the Situation Frankly.
The situation was placed frankly be-
fore Gen. Toral, and he was offered the
alternative of being sent home with
his garrison or leaving Santiago
province. The only condition imposed
being that he should not destroy the
existing Notifications, and should
leave his arms behind. The latter con-
dition the Spanish general, who does
not speak English, explained through
his interpreter, was impossible. He
said the

found it untenable, but could not leave

sioners in the most brief and concise
form of any of the numerous dispatches
laid before the president during the
day. The dispatch was well ahead of
the official message from Shafter. San
tiago time is So minutes ahead of Wash

receipt of the result, the commission
ers not meeting until 2:3O.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H.. July 16.-Ths
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, having on
board zoos Spanish prisoners, has ar.
rived at Portsmouth harbor The port
physician boarded the vessel and,
in company with the Spanish doc
tor, made an investigation, which
disclosed the fact that nearly hall on

the passage from Santiago to Ports
mouth, another death occurring since
arrival, and three patients not ex-
pected to live until night.
There were 40 serious cases. in the
sick bay and 40 equally as bad in other
portions of the ship. All these patients
are said to be victims of malarial
fever, with which disease those who
died were affected. Physicians will
make further inspection of the vessel
and determine whether or not she
shall be sent to quarantine.
