relations with many people. But he
will not have many friends to whom his
heart has been given. A man mustregard
the sanctity of his own life and live
much within himself, able to be much
alone. Not many may know his inner
and deeper thoughts. But a man main
tanning his own dignity may be friend
ly and helpful to others not calculating
upon a return, not from any selfish
purpose. And such friendly kind-heart-
ed men do great good in the world.
They make gladness and cheerfulness
all about them, They bring out what is
good in others and so increase the
worlds stock of goodness. Their own
nature is made richer by the process
of giving out the best of their own
hearts They are not quick to take Of
fence and they are charitable in judg-
ment They have faith in goodness and
seeking for it find it,
An association which brings high
minded, unselfsh men together in
friendly relations, for mutual improve
ment, for the increase of charity, is to
be thought of with great respect. There
are many influences in the world to
drive men apart, to make men hard
and suspicious and severe. Whatever
makes for gentleness and goodwill and
friendship even in it's more general form
is to be welcomed. Most men carry
burdens which depress and perplex, and
they are helped by the knowledge that
some one else cares for them and is
interested in them. There are so many
changes and chances in this mortal life
that no one knows who may be in the
;shadow Of affection or trouble to-mor-
row. They who are in the light must
share it with those who have passed
into the cloud. They who are carrying
an easy load must take little for the
next man and SO, bearing one another's
burdens, fulfill the law of Christ. There
are men who by their friendliness and
kindness bless and help all about them
and make the world a better place to
live in. They are not professional phil
anthropists and not conscious of per-
forming any service to anybody. They
are quiet, unassuming, friendly men
and the hearts Of men about them get
some warmth and lives some bright
ness, from them. You who come to
know one another as members of a
fraternal society have special opportun-
ity to perform these offices of friend
ship. My duty in this place is to bid
Godspeed to all who are making the
feeling of brotherhood to abound in the
world. But l bid you remember the
ground upon which friendship worth
the name must rest-high character,
goodness. unselfshness And you will
find that no organization will prosper
which is not ordered by high-minded
men for noble ends.
I have told you tonight of friend
ship between two men who lived and
died three thousand years ago. That
friendship so pure, so strong, so unset
fish, TRANSPORTED two men in Israel and
1t has been making the world better
ever since. My wish for you all is that
you may know in some measure in your
own lives the blessing of unselfish
friendship, and above all that there
may be response in your hearts to
Him, Lord and Master of us all, who
said: II have called you friends" eye
are My friends if We do whatsoever I
command you"

BEFORE THE MEMS CLUB.

United Church,

Address by DR.. Hall in the Evening in
United Church.
DR.. Hall spoke in the evening before
the Mems club of the United church.
His subject was "Francie Of ASSIST the
Prophet of the Thirteenth Century" He
styled him the prophet of that century,
he said, because close study of his life
shows that he anticipated the best
thought Of the nineteenth century That
great problem which is troubling the
world to-day, the social problem, name
ly the theory of living with and as the
poor, was understood by him. In those
days of stormy passions he aroused men
to think of peace and the grace of God
The great Undrian movement of the
thirteenth century, in which Francis
was the leader, of all similar move
ments most resembles that of the Mas
ter of Galilee.
DR. Hall gave vivid description of
the early work Of the Franciscan broth
ers and the beautiful character Of Fran
els, which, he said, stands out in strong
relief against the Roman penitents of
his time.

"The Landmarks ola Mans Progress In

DR.. Charles Cuthbert Hall OF New
York. president of the Union Theologi-
cal seminary, was the preacher in Bat
tell chapel yesterday morning, and q
number Of persons outside of the STU
dent body were in the chapel DR.. Hail
was formerly pastor in Brooklyn ana
while there he earned the reputation or
being one of the most thoughtful and
finished speakers of the day. His SER
mon yesterday was most interesting
and instructive one. DR.. Hall chose for
his text four passages, each on a ques-
ton marking stage in the real devel-
opment Of a mans life. They Were
Mark tx, 7, Acts XII, 80, Mark X, II,
and John vi, rs. These verses were the
basis of the theme for the sermon, THE
landmarks of a Mans Progress in
Spiritual Life"
The preacher said that every human
life represents q development and that
these developments are as milestones to
the traveller The milestones are repre-
sented by questions that are asked dur
ing the stages of mans life, showing
the progress in his belief, and 1t can be
said, the preacher remarked, that the
character and SplflRudi StdHuiH5 oL u
man may be shown by the questions he
asks rather than by the company he
keeps 1t is true in every departner
of life that the spiritual life is Il pro-
erosion, not an immediate achieve
ment. Here the preacher gave some
examples from characters In the Bible
showing how in each instance spiritual
happiness was a progression and how
there was no association.
1.-THE first question" said DR.. Hall,
marking the first milestone, showing
self estrangement, is, What have [ to
do with Thee, Jesus Son of God?' The
second question has a moral interest
showing a longing for something and
deliverance from his present mode CT
living, and is, What shall l do to be
saved?' The third question or milo
stone, What shall I do to inherit eter-
nal life?' shows a concentration on the
rewards of religion, and the fourth and
last milestone is What shall we do that
we might work the work of God?' and

Burke-in this, as in other respects, a

The Boer Delegation.

Washington, May 2O-The Boer dele.
gates devoted most of their time Satur-
day to receiving visitors and attending to
their correspondence. 1t was made evil
dent to Colonel O'Beirne today that the
state department is disposed to treat the
Boer delegates with absolute fairness and
that their credentials consequently are to
be considered on their merits. 1t is by
no means foregone conclusion that the
delegates are to be denied official recogni-
ton. That was the first decision and it
may after all be the outcome. But it is
said much depends upon the character of
the credentials and also of the attitude
'of the delegates themselves. 1t Is said
among certain officials of the state de,
partment. that if the government should
consider it necessary to cast about for
warrant for accepting the Beers official
ly it might turn TO the convention of 1854
between Great Britain and the Transvaal
and declare that document is by implica-
tion to be found renunciation of Great
Britain's suzerainty and consequently
there no longer exists any probation upon
other nations in their dealings with the
IL
offering official recognition TO their diplo-
matte representatives The fact that con-
sideration has been given at all to this
phase of the matter may be regarded
as significant OF the fact that at present
the administration holds itself in re.
ceptive state as far as the credentials are
concerned and is disposed to consider
them on their merits.
