There was very large attendance

In the grove beside the church the
ladies of the society had arranged
tables and refreshments we're served

! live without all this, without religion.
| But the Utmost voice of the soul dis.
tinctly answers no, never.
Religion is co-eXtensive with human
| thought and history. He resists his
own nature who lives without religion.
Religion is an Inherent tendency of
the human soul. An ancient philoso-
pher defines man, "a religious ami
mal,' and he is right. Man IS as
| naturally religious as he is loving
and sociable being. Before and with
out thought he loves those near and
| necessary to him and he seeks the
companionship of his fellows. And in
the same manner does man reach out
to mysterious being, superior to his
surroundings, whom he invokes, and
upon whom lie leans, amid the sense of
his own insufficiency. Does he exist
to whom times did not come when he
felt as constrained to adore and pray?
lrreligious and scofing, he may have
been in cabinet and club-room, alone
amid the vast forest or in the presence
OF the oceans mighty pillows, he in
voluntarily sends forth his soul to meet
the power, that rules where human
force and talent is of no more avail
than the sands on the foam-washed
beach. Proud and self-confdent when
all things go merrily with him, af-
fronted by an overwhelming danger,
he calls aloud for help and his lips form
an unusual sound-the name of God.
The child upon whose brow dawn the
early rays OF reason, passes with SIM
plest ease, and with heartfelt joyous
ness from the recognition of the WISH
BILE father guiding his footsteps to that
of the invisible One directing earth
and sky The religious tendency of
mans nature is clearly portrayed in
the following lines of Addison:
ut must be so, Plato, thou reason'st well. :. j..
Else whence this pleasing hope. this fond de-
sire, - ~
This longing after immortality?
Or whence this secret dread and inward horror
OF falling into naught? Why shrinks the soul
Back on herself and startles at destruction?

Y Ills heaven itself that points out an hereafter

Points That Will Have to DO Decided
Before 1t is Appolntcd-Scope Of It's
Powers Discussed.
: WASHINGTON. April s.-The Presl-
dent and Secretary Hay have been
giving consideration to the selection OF
representative Of the United States
government on the Samoan commission.
He will not be member, of either the
senate or house OF representatives, ac-
cording TO present lights. 1t is prob
able that the effort will be to find some
person familiar with the issue likely
TO be presented In the settlement OF this
Samoan dispute. The question Is, q
complex one, and having entirely drop
ped out Of public notice the last ten
years. the number of persons OF the OIL
cial class who/are well posted upon 1t
Is extremely limited. It is regarded by
the state department as essential that
the commission be appointed Mt the
earliest possible moment.
Many cable dispatches have been
passing between Washington and Lon
don In regard to the Samoan settlement.
The main point Is on determining cX-
actly the extent of the authority which
the high commission Is to possess, Lord
Salisbury desiring all uncertain points
first cleared up, and an exact definition
Of what the commission Is to do before
committing Great Britain. The Brit
ish government Is as ready as the Uni
ted States or Germany to accept the
general principle Of commissioners, but
1t wants to know In advance as to the
power OF the commission.
The present negotiations are concen-
trated on three main points, viz. First.
Is the commission to report or Is 1t to
have executive authority to adminis-
ter as well as to negotiate, and II so
what Is the extent Of its executive
power: second, will the action OF the
commission be determined by q major
ity or will unanimous action be re-
quired: third. II n majority determine
alton Is arranged what safeguards
are to be provided to insure unanimous
execution. This last polnt-as between
majority or unanimous action-is vex-
ing one. and Is the same one which has
arisen as between the consular officials
in Samoa, and 1t Is evident that Lord
Salisbury hesltates to assent to any
agreement which may renew this Con-
troversy. An agreement upon King
Oscar as final arbitrator would obviate
q deadlock, but this, while proposed,
unotiicially, during the recent discus
sfons. has not been assented TO offfct-
ally, SO that attention Is still centered
on the issue between majority or unan-
lmOus rule |...a
