success that every couple is paired to its
satisfaction and all ends bissfully. 1t is

When the Conservative Review, the quar-
terly published at Washington, D. c.. was
started last year the announcement was
made that 1t was to serve as literary or

Democratic party might express them
selves on political topics. Whether the
writer's in question did not materialize, or
whether it was found that the Democratic
| party did not have use for high class
periodical. does not appear but for some
cause the quarterly devotes the most of its
space to subjects remote from party poll

first chapters of the autobiography of the

in the June North American Review is

Christian people from the beginning of

teaching and preaching of the church. and

In which the doctrine of eternal suffering
has been set forth most people have aban-
doned also the idea of retribution which

writer maintains. is to be greatly depre-
Gated. He says: 1.-THE appeals to fear have

fact OF retribution. The law of retribution
works in present life. We become

not only legitimate, but II IS In accordance
with the structure of mans nature"
