THE POET.

The first poet was born through concep-
ton of beauty. There is universally of
thought. Reformers, poets, artists, living
closer to the heart of nature than other
folk, count her heart-throbs more accurate
~, learn the secrets that pulsate in her
blood with subtler quickness than their
brethren. Some one else has said it bet
ter, but there is no presumption in the coun-
try of wisdom. The poet is the avant-cour-
Ter Of beautiful thought. He gives express
sion to the emotions, the thoughts of others
to whom expression has been denied
Through him the vagueness of beauty be-
comes a tangible reality. The real poet soul
does this-not the pitiful make-believe with
his vain strivings toward the infinite, his
helpless soarings that end in ignominous
falls. The world Is sadly beaten with flut-
tering, broken wings. Hearts are breaking
with failure, with misdirected effort, with
refusal to accept life as it is and to glorify
the small place with the poetry of wise
living, which is blesseder than even wise
writing. Heads are swelling with the in
sufferable vanity of misconstruing rhyme
for poetry. Ears are weary of hearing poets
cry their own wares and hearts are weary,
weary with the intolerable pain of it all;
the lights that splutter out. the lofty noun
tain peaks tndL become mere desert
stretches. The vast army of rhymsters try
ing to measure the whole world into a
meaningless poem is common subject for
scorn or good-natured ridicule. To me it
is sad beyond expression. To think that
souls are climbing, climbing. so patient, so
blind to destiny, and through the very ma
ture Of their being forever barred from real
ascent. And so often never to know! To go
on complacently, never dreaming that one
is travelling in a circle! One can only hope,
that elsewhere, set in happier conditions.

these barren wastes with the real beauty
and sweetness. The thought which helps
one soul to mount higher, which makes liv-
ing more possible, which mitigates care and
trouble, which opens never so little the win
dow toward the infinitely beautiful, which
reveals hopes sun beyond the clouds-that
thought has the revivifying force. The jar

Christians to tolerate their differences and
befriend each other. AS the French writer
said last century: "If there were but one
religion in England, it's tyranny would be
terrible; if there were but two, they would
cut each others threats; but there are
thirty and they live in peace" To-day
when there are so many more, they are still
more peaceful, and men who would once
have burned each other for their differences
are brought by them into truer charity and
brotherhood. Religious growth is not mere
ly toward diversity, but through diversity
toward a better unity Of the spirit in the
bond Of peace"
Hence we welcome all NOV ements for re-
ligious union. The sacred old name, pom
tiff" meant literally a bridge builder"
and all who work to bridge the chasms
which have separated contending religions,
and to join these in mutual intercourse and
charity, belong to the true pontifcate and
priesthood Of that God 'who is above all
and through ALL
Not that we would wish the dividing lines
obliterated and all religions merged in one.
We want no universal church based on
compromise or contradictions-like that ac-
communicating academy which advertised
that it would teach pupils to believe the
earth round or fiat, as the parents might
prefer. Rather let each religion and sect
teach its own belief and worship in it's own
way But let each remember how much
it has in common with all the rest; and in
this common work let all be willing to
unite. By such union none will lose his re-
Igion, but all find more.
AS in a great cathedral, men come out
from the little side chapels and shrines to
meet before the high altar and beneath the
Vaster vault, so, in leaving our sectarian
services to join with others in the common
work for justice and humanity, we ffnd that
we have only come beneath a loftier re-
igious roof to unite in a larger worship.
Even If we do not so unite, our worships
do-as in that old English abbey where
the men and women sang their hymns
apart, hidden from each other by divid-
Ing wall, but with their voices mngling
above it in harmony.
However high the worlds dividing reli-
gious walls may be, the diverse strains from
all honest liturgies and labors, whether in
spired by manly daring or womanly devo-
ton. blend in one music to tho Power from
whom all have come. and by whom all are
accepted.

a substance from a solid form to 3. gaseous form,

chamber, will press equally upon all sides of such
chamber and will always escape in the line of
least resistance, and never by any possible con-
ception will it act otherwise. The laying of gun

and received an ovation.
The score was TO and two were out,

four balls. LaChance then came up with
his heavy bat and the cranks, remember
