And yet | feel the spirit of God within
me,
And / am satisfied.
/ have no creed.
Creeds are but words.
Love is reality.
Love fills the heart.
With charity, with peace,
With faith, with hope, with heaven
Love to the Father,
Love to the Christ,
Love to our fellows
This ! feel within and it shall guide me.
He who is ruled by love
By spirit love, not lust,
By love divine

forms,
The letters that divide in warning sects;
And let us fill our hearts with love to

Construct a church as wide as human

A church built round the spirit, not the
husk;
And henceforth leave the race unfetter-

1t is needless to say that, so long as one

lures, he cannot have love in his heart,
for it cannot live where those things

the freshening breeze as it came

sent back in short choppy waves,
and had so distorted the reflection
of my head and arms extending
over the boat as TO make it appear

1DHE observation having beer

"most august body In the world" 1t was
only a year ago last January that the
centennial of Chief Justice Marshall's
installation was commemorated, ye,
the great "expounder of the constitu-
tion" was the fourth appointment and
there have been but four chief justices
since.
President Washington appointed the
first three chief Justices-John Jay
John Rutledge and oliver Ellsworth
John Marshall was appointed by John
Adams, II. Il. Taney by Andrew Jack
son, S. Il. Chase by Abraham Lincoln,

eighth to occupy the elevated position,

which is next February. speculation Is
rife as to his successor. Who that sue
cessor may be IL Is difficult to deter

Of Ohio, iss7-9o. United States solicitor
general 1ss0-92 and United States cir
cult judge 1S92-190 Taft has had a wide
range of experience. particularly IL his
eminent service in the Philippines be
considered. He was salutatorian and
class orator when he graduated from
yale and has always held a high repu-
tation for ability.
| Judge Day has been less conspicuous
of late than Taft or Knox. but only a
few years ago he was in the full blaze
| or publicity. He was assistant secre-
tary OF state in 1897 and succeeded the
late John Sherman as secretary OF state
April 1898. In September OF that year
ne was appointed chairman of the now
historic commission which met at Paris
ana erected permanent peace between
spain and the United States.
III Is quite germane to the subject 10
inquire as TO precedent in the matter
or age when appointments to the su-
preme court are considered and also as
10 the number OF members that custom
has sanctioned. which latterly has been
fixed at nine.
Chief Justice Fuller reaches the aga
or seventy next February and Justice
Harlan next June. The Oldest is Jus-
tice Shiras, already mentioned as being
seventy and anxious for retirement
AFTER Shiras comes Justice Brown
aged sixty-six. Brewer is sixty-fiye
Peckham sixty-four, McKenna fifty-
nine and White, the baby of the bench. -
VIII be nfty-seven next November. The
average age of the court as at present
constituted, with Holmes (sixty-one) in
place or Gray, Is about sixty-four years
| which Is two years below the avera ge
hitherto. The average age OF former
pchief justices on death or retirement
was little more than seventy years.
Taney, the Oldest chief justice. lived TO
the age OF eighty-seven, and the youn-
gest, John Jay, retired at fifty and
lived to seventy-nine. The Oldest as
sociate justice-Duvall of Maryland
resigned atSeighty-four and lived to the
great age of ninety-six. The youngest
| -Curtis-was appointed at the age of
forty-two and resigned at forty-eight.
None of the chief justices except per-
haps Taney lived TO lag superfluous on

| ed thirty-four years in his term and
| Taney twenty-nine. OF the associate

Field held the record when he retired
not only for length of service-thirty-
four years and six months-but as the
oldest member. he having survived two
whole courts. He died in 1899 at the
age OF eighty-three.
If Chief Justice Fuller should avail
himself OF the privilege under the law
OF retiring at the age of seventy upon
full pay pension after ten years serv-
ice, his term would then have exceeded
the average of his predecessors. Jay
sat six years, Rutledge one year, Ellis
worth three years. Chase ten years.
Marshall thirty-four years, Taney
twenty-nine years and Waite fourteen
years. Chief Justice Fuller has already
sat as many years-fourteen-as his
immediate predecessor, Waite. and,
having garnered honors without stint,
is certainly entitled 10 a peaceful end
ing for his old age.
