Tns WORLD GROWS BETTER.

In an address before the national
conference Of Unitarian and other
Christian churches, recently in session
at Atlantic City. Carroll ID. Wright,
United States commissioner OF labor.
delivered an interesting address on
the subject: Some Evidences OF
Growth OF Practical Religion"
Mr.. Wright took the optimistic
view and controverted the statements
of those who say that there Is deca'
aence in the true religious spirit, says
the Richmond Times. He declared
that the public conscience today was
more acute. more sensitive than at
any time In the history OF mankind,
and we quite agree with him. Never
before was there so universal a de
mand for justice TO all, for the main
tenance OF individual rights. for NOR
ality in high places. for pure politics
and honest government. Never be
fore In the history OF the world was
81 much done for popular education

suspension bridges-the duvic. ant OF

big head. A large ant takes hold of the
branch of tree with his forelegs; he
clings, letting his own body nang;
then another ant climbs down the
first one, to whose hind legs be clings

is hanging from the tree they wish t..
reach, and the bridge is complete

has crossed the bridge the ant on the

suspension bridge follow ther lead

at the rear of the marching column.
