and free;
As the ray of the star or the golden sum

See their glorified image in cascade and

So my soul. gazing far. soaring nigh DER
the sod.
Sees itself magnifed In the goodness of
God.
As the bird bears its soul in the sweet
ness OF song;
As the sea voices praise when the tenn
pest is strong;
As the flower opes its heart to the kiss
AS the nightingale trills praise when day.

AS the turtle dove turns to its nest and
its mate:
As the sky turns to gold when heaven
opens its gate;
AS tnt vine 10 the OAK IN close harmony
clings;
As the grub scars aloft when transfig-
ured with wings;
As the ship turns helm homeward across
the deep sea-
So turn all my lodgings, dear Father, to
Thee.
As the limpet. though lowly, clings close
to its rock,
Protected and safe from the hurricanes

Obeying His bidding through stormiest

AS the flower looketh heavenward in sun

And offers sweet incense from forest and

As the tints OF the dawn turn to glory

AS the winter winds chant prayers and
praises aloud
So my heart hears Thy voice over land,
over sea,
And joins all creation in ~worshiping Thee.

Creator sent many thousands Of mil
lions Of people to dwell in China with
out religion and without the love Of
the Father Of all mankind, or that
positive information concerning the
plans and purposes of God was COM
municated alone to q few people in one
of the smallest corners of the earth"
We were talking about the condi-
tions in China, and the hatred mani
tested towards the missionaries there.
Speaking in perfect Engiieh. he said:
II notice that Salvation Army men and
women have been mobbed in Denver
and other large cities Of this coun-
try. and yet they were teaching the
Christian religion, as they understand
it. l have read in your newspapers
that Mormon teachers in Tennessee,
Kentucky, Alabama and other states
have been mobbed and driven away.
Supposing that the people of China
have less intelligence than your own
people, Is it strange to you that they
should resent the efforts which have
been made to foist upon them a re-
hgion which they do lot want? II
they resort to mob violence, are they
not doing exactly what your W peo-
pie do when they are wrought to frenzy
upon the subject Of religion?"
If We consider all of the doctrines
and graces of our accepted religions,
and admit that 'the greatest of these
is charity" we must admit the force
of these observations. We must hesi-
tate to assume that 1--WE know it ALL"
and that others created like unto our
selves have been ignored ry their Gre
ntor. We must admit that they have
as much right, according to their
lights, to believe that Confucius, their
great teacher, was inspired and spoke
as one having authority, as we have to
believe in the teacher who has sent
unto us as n speaking by authority.
Christian charity must compel us to
admit this much, even though we are
saturated with the belief that they are
wrong, and that they vu nltimatelF

The reference to the persecution Of
Salvation Army and Mormon people
pertinently leads US to wonder what
our people would do II they saw mis.
sionaries coming to their homes and
taking the children away to lead them
to believe that Buddha or C~onfucius
alone gave the whole truth concerning
the emancipation, elevation and salva-
ton of the soul.
Conversation with the learned men
Of the orient leads up to the PROPOSE
tion that we must charitably consider
the people to whom different religion
has been given. By whom was
Buddhism and Brahmanism givenf
By whom was Confucius taught, and
whence came the impulses which led
Zoroaster and Mahomet to stand forth
with such strength to teach their peo-
pie? If those men came a. spirits Of
evil. surely 1t is strange that they
taught people how to be good and how
to worship. If they came from the
same PURGE whence our Teacher came,
have We license to fight and oppose
them? These are problems too mighty

MOURNING IN ITALY.
The Body of the Murdered King to be
Brought to Rome.

Rome, July 30.-Telegrams from all
the towns and villages of Italy show
that all the country deeply mourns the
death of the king. Everywhere flags
are half masted and shops are closed.
All garrison towns at noon saluted with
100 guns, while at the naval ports min
ute guns were fired. The municipality
of Milan half masted its flag and pub
lished a manifesto objurgating the hor-
rible tragedy. The bourse at Rome has
closed, and not a shop is open
Grape is displayed upon many resi-
dences and public buildings, portraits
of the murdered monarch are displayed
at many points draped h black, and
f9gs are flying at half mast everywhere,
His body will be brought to Rome and
buried In the Pantheon.
A few newspapers this morning pub
lish short tributes to the noble qualities
of King Humbert, declaring that it was
due to his love for the working classes
that he fell a vic lin of assassination.
The papers add few words of sympa-
thy and respect for the new king.
Senior Safacco, the premier left for
Monza at O'clock this morning with

up the certificate of death of the king.

entirely Of Hwang- Sus, was around the

craft, with breach on the left bank,
in order to flood the country to the

Mr. Brodrick said that the council of

that the line would revert to Its former

BRESSI,S CONFESSION.

Monza, July 3O.-Few additional de-
tails Of the terrible tragedy are availa-
BILE 1t happened so quickly and unex-
pectedly that the king was dead almost
before the spectators realized what had
occurred.
No special precautions had been
taken. Very few police were In attend
ance and only small guard of soldiers
was keeping the way for the carriage
The king, amid the cheers of the crowd,
came out smiling accompanied by his
premier aide de camp, General Ponzio-
Vaglai He had entered the carriage
and was just driving off when the re-
volver shots were fired In quick success
sion. Some witnesses assert that Bressi
was seen just previously waving his
hands and cheering The first shot
wounded the king in the neck; the sec
ond, the fatal one, pierced his heart,
and the third broke the arm of the al
ready dying sovereign.
The crowd was stunned by the I'M
expected scene and speedily rush was
made toward the assassin. He did not
attempt to escape and was roughly
treated until the carabineers formed a
Gordon and secured him from the fury
of the people.
An eye witness says that Immediately
after the shots were fired the king fell
back pressing his hand to his heart.
He was instantly supported by Cen
eral Ponzio-Baglia, who told the coach
man to drive with all speed to the cas-
tie. After his exclamation lit Is moth
ing he did not utter a sound. Blood
gushed from his mouth.
The assassin, on reaching the guard
room of the Carabineers was in pitt
able condition, his hands and arms be-
ing lacerated and bloody and his
clothes torn by the angry crowd. Re-
plying to a question, he Kissed through
his clenched teeth: 'Tell them l came
from America on purpose to kill Hum

America and know no one. l spent a
day at Bologna and then came to Mi

A search made at his home at Prato
resulted in the finding Of several COM
promising letters from New York. One,
signed by woman, was date dune 25
In this letter the writer asks whether
all is ready and expresses hope that
he will soon return.
Bressi had been absent from Prato
for six or seven years. Hi sparents live
there and he had a brother in an It1l-
ian infantry regiment. In reference to
the finding Of another revolver, 1t is as
serted that Bressi had been seen in
company with young man in the park
at Monza, near where the king was in
the habit of riding. After his arrest
he appeared wakeful and nervous until
about sunrise, but from that time he
slept soundly until midday.
