York Art Club, and specially to students and
young people. 1.-The best definition of the Will or
God" said Dr. Carson, that I have come upon I Is
the one given by Henry Drummond The Will or
God is what God likes That is very simple. Any
schooboy can understand it, What God likes Is
disclosed in Gods works and in Gods Word. ANY
student of nature knows what God likes in every
thing material, and every student or the Bible
knows what God likes in everything moral and
spiritual Gods will for the body is revealed in
nature and the first problem of life is the care OF
the body. 1t is a matter Of vital importance what
we eat and what we drink and what we wear, ana
Cod is interested in all these. He reveals to us
what He likes in these. The Bible tells us what
God likes spiritual matters. There is no mystl-
cal or visionary way in winch we may know the
will of God 1t is revealed in the Bible. STUDY

PLANS FOR THE PALISADES
GOVERNOR VOORHEES, FAvORs A PER-
MANENT COMMISSION EMPOWERED
TO ACQUIRE TITLE.

Elizabeth Jan. IA (SpeciaD. Voor-
hees. on being seen to-day by a Tribune re-
porter on the subject of preserving the Palisades
and having read The Tribune's article on the
subject, spoke follows
In any reasonable efforts to acquire the lands
necessary to protect and perpetuate the Pail
sades the cooperation and assistance OF the
State of New-Jersey may be confidently eX-
pected.
I called the attention of the Legislature in
my annual message to the deslrability of Great
ing a permanent Palisades Commission, that
would try to acquire title to the land and so
that. from time to time if the Legislature saw
fit. the State might make appropriations for the
purpose of enabling the Commission to carry
out the object of it's creation.
The present Commission, appointed by me last
winter, is now engaged in the preparation OF
bill which it will present to the Legislature
during the present session, and the passage or
which will be strongly urged by the Commits
sioners. I am not yet fully advised as to the
exact provisions of this bill, but have no doubt
they will be such to offer a solution or the
question in a way to commend itself TO the
good judgment of the people of the State.
Personally l do not think at present that
there exists a general sentiment among the peo-
pie of New-Jersey in favor of any large ex-
penditure of the States money in acquiring the
necessary lands. Such sentiment can only be
created, in my opinion, by a vigorous agitation
of the subject and the creation of q permanent
Palisades Commission by the Legislature Will IN
dictate, in my judgment, a long step in that oil

THE NATIONAL PARK PLAN.

Washington, jan 14-Judge Stewart, of New
Jersey. having been requested to state his in
formation regarding the movement for convert
ing the Palisades of the Hudson in New-York
and New-Jersey into National park, replied:
You know I introduced the bill for the object
in the House of Representatives, both In the
LIVth and in the LVth Congresses senator
Sewell opposed to the purchase or the Pail
sades as military reservati0nLthe purpose
of the measure-and Senator Platt introduced
the bill in the Senate. A number OF hearings
were held before the Military Affairs Commit
tee of which Mr. Parker a member. He
and 1 urged the bill, and so did others, espe
cially Chairman Morse of the New-Y ork com
mission who did yeoman service on Its behalf.
The committee declined to take any action
whatever, although requested them to report
adversely if that their opinion. Chairman
Hull was decidedly against the measure, and,
of course, had considerable influence upon some
members of the committee.
I have received favorable reports from the
Chief Of Engineers of the War and Navy de-
partments and from General Miles, Commander
in Chief of the Army. The latter wrote that 1t
would be a commanding place for batteries in
the event that a foreign force got into the Bay
and attempted to ascend the river. He thought
it W ould be impregnable for such purposes. This
argument of utility for defence and for manHu-
Yre and encampment of troops was reinforced
by pleas that the Palisades were among the
natural wonders Of the world, famed for their
sublimity and picturesque beauty, and that no
more suitable place for all the military, naval
and civil purposes set forth in the bill could
be found within hundreds of miles or the
metropolis.
The new proposition, which is for the States
to pay a quarter of a million dollars for the
acquisition alters the case materially, In my
judgment One of the strongest reasons urged
in opposition before was that the expense should
be borne by the States themselves. Now, with
the sum mentioned pledged by the states,
great part of this objection would be overcome,
as the amount to be paid by Network and
New-Jersey would go a great way toward bring
ing about the object desired. In consequence
the new bill would have better chance to Sc
cure favorable action at the hands of Congress.
Already the number of friends or the proposed
new improvement has increased largely. l Will
continue to render any aid in my power to Sc
cure the success of the undertaking.
one thing omitted in its proper place. In
the IlIVth Congress 1 introduced a joint reso-

BARTINE'S DISAPPOINTMENT
somervile. Jan. IA (speciaD.-The fight over the
judgeship of the Court Of Oyer and Terminer OF
Somerset County is becoming interesting John u
Bartine, the present Democratic Judge is taking
active measures to impress the Governor with the
fact that the people of the county want him con-
tinued in the office. Petitions in his behalf are
being circulated in every township OF the county
and have already been numerously signed his
friends say that they will have the names or halI
the voters of the county the petitions to lay
before the Governor before the appointment is
made and they believe that this will go a long
way toward keeping him the bench. Judge
Bartine has occupied the Somerset bench for hfteen
years, and has always been an active Democratic
worker. q.
It was reported last fall that Senator, Reed had
agreed to his reappontment, but this the senator
positively denied The Judge, however, showed a
friendly feeling during the campaign for the Re
publican ticket Republican leaders here, includ-
appointment political grounds and ii is said that
GOVERNOR Voorhees, has said that he would not
hear of reappointment The situation seems 10
be unchanged unless the Judges big petition should
influence the Governor.
Hugh X CASTOR and Lewis H. Schenck are the
two available Republican candidates, with the
chances apparently in favor OF the former,
though Mr. Schenck's friends are doing good work
for him and the Governor seems to favor his
candidacy. Senator Reeds influence however, seems
to be for Mr. CASTOR.
James L. Griggs seems to be the most probable
man for Prosecutor OF the Pleas
