leads to its triumph. The question OF
religion is bound to present itself to .ct
soul How shall fulfill my highest
duty-my duty towards God The
question is one of conscience-no more,
no less. Any man deserves the respect
of his fellows when he acts in harmony
with the promptings of his conscience.
1t is the final court. and by its decision
each one shall abide. Each one must
answer; each particular soul must be
satisfied. This satisfaction for a crea-
ture such as man, endowed with reason
and free will, resides only in the union
of the soul with its Creator. Thou hast
made us for Thyself says st. Augustine
and our hearts are unrestful till they
find repose in Thee The full repose
will come only when the eternal veil is
drawn back and new world, more en-
chanting than any picture of the imag-
ination, loftier than any conception of
the intellect, surprising all the cravings
of hope, in all the effulgence of glory,
dawns upon the soul but still there is a
present duty for all, the daily realization
as far as possible, of union with God.
That the soul may truly live there must
be a continuous forward movement.
The Channel of Faith.
Chow shall we know what to believe?
We must know it in the same way that
it was known in the days of the apostles.
The faith is the same now as then. The
truths we are commanded to believe are
not changed. My brethren, put preju-
dice aside altogether for time. Ask
yourselves the question; If you had an
important message to communicate to
men, would you trust it to a written
page? Is not the ordinary means of
communication the human voice? We
write letters, indeed, but only as a sub.
stitute for personel communication.
Would you not naturally suppose that
Christ should have communicated His
truths to teacher such as Himself, liv-
ing and infallible? And so, indeed, il
was. There is no fact more clearly
stated in Scriptures. There was absolute.

guage of st. Paul. Commenting on the
words of the prophet Joel; 'WhosoeveI
shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved, he asks, How shall they
call ON Him in whom they have moi

The New Jersey Society of the Colon.

of the Trenton members, on Easter
Monday, at a most enjoyable feast of
reason and flow of soul" following a de-
licious luncheon.
The meeting was one of unusual in
terest as an exhibition of photographs of
the famous Revolutionary buildings of
New Jersey and papers were presented
on the historic sites of this ever patriotic
state.
Mrs. Thos. j Craven of "Cravenhurst, y
Salem, the accomplished president of the
Society, was in the chair and gracefully
directed the proceedings.
The Society has done much toward
inculcating reverence for patriots and
loyalty to this land of the Free, and
two prize essays from school children of
New Jersey were read.
Mrs. b Howell Campbell, of Elizabeth,
the corresponding secretary, has been
most active in securing, for the State
Archives, the histories of buildings, mon-
uments and sites which were made mem
orable by the experiences of the Revo-
lutionary War. Morristown has fur
nished many of these valuable papers.
AT recent meeting of the Morristown
Colonial Danes several were presented,
and George William Curtis would have
been proud to publish as his own the
charming essay of Miss Shelton. AL
these were sent to Trenton for preserva.

Growth of Advertising.

In the last quarterly publication of the
American Statistical Association Sidney
A. Sherman gives an instructive sketch
of the great growth OF modern advertis-
ing and the important part it has come
to play as one of the forces of civilization.
Fifty years ago there was little advertis-
ing in the daily or periodical publica-
tions and as rule advertise
ments were inartistic and unattractive
in form and crude in conception. To-
day it is estimated that advertising in
fuences sales to the amount of $4,000,

cent as an average this represents an
annual outgo for advertising of $500, eco, :

an inOpDortune time, when Christmas
considerations took precedence, but,
nevertheless, they say he refused to
accept money when It was rendered or
promised the following day, or within
a week at the most. Several of the
singers are wage-earners at small fig

easily met without preparation.
Not a few of the singers are of the
opinion that Mr.. Stephens has become
unduly alarmed at the magnitude Of his
undertaking, and is getting ready to
abandon the proposed tour.
