QUESTION OF ARBITRATION.
ROOSEVELT AND HAY DISCUSS
ALLIES PROPOSAL.

thO EEGBAuShE accept
the Responsibility of Arbitrator
Italy Willing to Refer Trouble to The
Hague Tribunal If He Does Not Accept
the Task.
Washington, Dec. 24-The president
and Secretary Hay were in conference
for some time this afternoon over the
proposals received officially to-day
from Great Britain and Germany that
the president arbitrate the issues in
volved in the Venezuelan claims con-
troversy. They went over the commu-
nfcations very thoroughly, considering
the subject from every viewpoint. The
acceptance or declination of the pro-
posals by the president is believed to
hinge on the nature of the restrictions
the allies have imposed on the arbitra-
ton.
If any conclusion was reached at the
conference between the president and
his secretary of state, the fact was not
made public. Inquiries at the White
house regarding the presidents inten-
tions were referred to Secretary Hay,
and the latter sent word to newspaper
reporters who called on him that there
was no news to be given out on the
subject tonight.
Rome, Dec. 24.-Italy's reply to the
arbitration proposal of Venezuela,
through Minister Bowen and the gov
ernment of the United States, says,
among other things, that Italy would
be pleased if the question was settled
by the arbitration of President Roose-
welt. 1t adds that if he does not accept
Italy will have no objection to submit
ting the dispute to The Hague tribunal.

The Library Benefit.

That the public is not deficient in
appreciation of its splendid library and
gymnasium had a practical demon
stration at the opera house last Monday
night, in the out-pouring of people to
witness the benefit entertainment
Much was expected and that these ex-
pectations were not disappointed is
apparent from the warm words of praise
heard on all sides. To Miss Anna
Metzger with whom originated the idea
is chiefly due the credit for the success
achieved. Her efforts have been un-
tiring and the many new features ap-
pearing on the programe were there as
the result other resourceful and skillful
planning.
Each number merits distinct and
separate mention, but from lack of
space this is precluded The male
quartette was evenly balanced, their
voices blending harmoniously and
beautifully in the several selections
given.
hO b''So ooiOo Vi MI u. w. INODSTl-
son and Mr.. Geo. A. Wrlker, Jr., were
particularly well sung. Prof. Biekarck
of Warren was the violin artist. His
playing was characterized by excellent
bowing, fulness of fire and vigor and
finished grace and charm. An enjoyable
feature of the programme was the
piano solo of Mrs. Beers. Miss Metzger
sang an obligato to the male quartette
in voice that denoted the highest cul-
tivation and that furnished the audi
ence with one of the real treats of the
evening.
The cat quartette was exceedingly
funny, the young ladies in costume,
voice, facial expression and gesture
giving an inimitable rendition of this
new famous song.
The cake walk drew forth rounds of
applause.
Very pretty indeed We're the Sousa
girls. Their drills were given with mill
tary grace and precision and presented
a picture Of loveliness that must long
linger in the minds of the auditors.
The double sextette from Floradora
was fitting climax of the whole. Pro-
fessonals,w we think, could not have done
better.
Nearly ninety dolart was nettad for

The Church of the Future.

Every creed, in the beginning, is the
statement of vital truth But to ac-
cept every creed as a finality is death.
When there is the spirit of revision
there is life. We can we'll afford to pay
Tor standing advertisement of our
gratitude for any improvent of our
creed. In my dream of the future
church, | offer my creed not as sub
stitude for yours, but as one which,
combined with yours, might possibly
give US both broader vision and a
more abundant life.
The church ofth future as it appears
to me, will have no written creed. In
form of government it will be a pure
democracy. No dogmas will be allow
ed to do service for religion. Religion
is love, Worship is useful and free
work.
The church of the future must assert
mans right to heaven here. 1t must
abolish poverty or be abolished. 1t
must teach men to have faith in
Creator who has made all things well;
faith that the ills of humanity are due,
not to his blunders, but rather to mans
ignorance of natural law.
The church of the future must have
faith in man; faith that he would rather
do right than wrong; faith that if he
were free, his own inborn love of truth
and right would be his salvation.
The church of the future must enlist
men in the holy crusade for economic
liberty; firing their hearts with zeal for
the public good, leading them toward
the Republic that is to be, by the simple
ways of justice and peace.-Rev.
Herbert S. Bigelow in the Pilgrim for
August.
