The Outlook has examined the
sermon of Rev. A. R. Keifer. who
dedicated the Bradford (Pa) syna.
gogae few weeks ago, and finds that
while the preacher was loyal to the
truth for which his Own communication
stands, be yet did Justice to the. truth
which Jews aud Christians hold in
common and the work which can be
best done by cooperation. A Christian
minister, and be an Episcopaliau.
preaching the dedication sermon of q
Jewish synagogue. is not sight which
has been common in the past. The
walls between those who are truly
religious arc fast going down, and
every instance like that above quoted
has its direct influence in bringing
about universal brotherhood.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. l3.-The
Army transport service has assumed
such vast proportions as to- form a very
important feature in the shipping ut
this port. The fleet required to trans
port men, supplies and animals To the

the business OF the Quartermaster's
department exceeds that of the largest
transportation company. While most
of the vessels are on the ocean. be-
tween San Francisco and Manila. as
many as three large steamers are dis
patched in a single day. SD many
transports are in port that they not
only occupy the Government dock but
have to be accommodated at different
wharves, while some are on the dry
dock and the rest must pull out into
the stream to make room for others.

The Psychicai Research Society Is

started concerning the little supersti-
tions OF great people. Among the lat
ter Gyp, from a foreign standpoint, Is
pre-eminent. She %confesses that when
alone at dinner she is afraid Of oys-
tiers. But here a loop perhaps Is need
ed. In France an oyster is synony-
nous with an imbecile. Nine. Gyp
means that she has a dread Of being
one OF thirteen at table. The lady Is
more modest than her writings had led
us to believe. Hall Caine has been
good enough to admit that curious
shivers run up and down his back
whenever he sits unaccompanied in
the dark. Assuming Mr.. Game 20 be
a great person, he should analyze
those shivers. Victor Hugo said that
In literature only shivers count. With
their aid Mr.. Game might some day

man. Miss Marie Corelli has also a
few weaknesses. But how adorable
they arel She swoons al the sight Of
a reporter, and since childhood has
had a grewsome dread lest a dark man
should cross her path and then pass
by. But these instances, though in
structive, and indicative OF what the
vagaries Of genius may be, are trans
Atlantic. The inquiry might p%rofita-
bly, be started here. Personally we
have no claim to eminence Of any
kind, yet II we had. and were we hon

we are always uneasy when a new
