ever trying to hold fast to their mono
theism. It was the direct Intervention
of God that caused the! rejuvenation Of
this people, thus proved through cen
turies, till the Messiah, heralded by
phophets and psalnists, finally appear
ed the greatest revelation of God in the
world for He appeared in the Son Him
self. Christ is God; God is human form.
He redeemed us and inspires us, entices
us to follow Him. We feel His fire burn

us. His discomfort destroys u.s. But.
also, His intercession saves us. u Con-
scious Of victory, building solely upon
His word, We go through labor, ridicule,
sorrow, misery and death, for we have
in Him Gods revealed Word and He
never lies.
THAT is my view Of these matters. 1t
is to me self-evident that the Old Tes-
lament contains many sections which
are of purely human and historical
nature, and are not Gods revealed
word. These are merely history and
descriptions of incidents Of all kinds
which happen in the political, religious,
moral, and intellectual life of this peo-
pie. The legislative act on Sinai, for
example, can be only regarded as sym
bolically inspired of God. When Moses
had to reburnish what known para
graphs of the law, perhaps derived
from the code of Hammurabi, in order
to incorporate and bind them into the
loose, weak fabric of his people, here
the historian can perhaps construe from
the sense or wording connection with
the laws of Hammurabi, the friend of
Abraham. That is perhaps, logically
correct. But that will never disguise
the fact that God melted Moses thereto
and insofar revealed Himself to the

PoPE,s e5TH YEAR OF RULE.
Jubilee OF Pontihcate ms ft Was sol-
emniy Celebrated.

Rome, Feb. 2o.-''It seems impossible
that it is twenty-five years since
have been there, was the pope's ex-
clamation, as he looked from a window
of his apartments this morning into
the sunlit piazza Of st. Peters. This
was the pontiff's only reference to his
long term Of self imposed impriso sonment
in the vatican during which he has
never gone beyond the palace grounds,
and st. Peters, which is considered to
be part of the vatican, What a glor-
ious morning for the jubilee Of my
pontifcate,'' the pope added as he pro-
ceeded with evident pleasure to peruse
the almost innumerable kilograms, let
ters and addresses of congratulation
which have reached the vatican from
all parts of the world.
The Hall of Beautificatfon, above the
portion of st. Peters, where the pontiff
held his Jubilee reception, presented a
brilliant scene. 1t was beautifully hung
with antique ,brocades and Illuminated
by thousands of electric lights and wax
candles. The benches lining the long,
narrow hall were filled to their capacity
with members of the Roman aristocra-3
cy diplomats, women with black veils,s
men in evening dress and Monks and
Sisters in evening garb. Here and
there groups of papal guards in bright
uniforms lent color to the whole. Nota-
BILE among the diplomats was Count Al
modover, head of the special mission
sent to represent the King Of Spain at
the jubilee.
The struggle,to get into the hall was
terrific. People were swept off their
feet and women were overcome, but no
one was really injured.

Washington, Feb. 2O.--It is understood
that the administration is still awaiting
reply from the representatives of the
Panama Canal company in Paris in re-
sponse to the cablegram of Attorney
General Knox sent to President Bo of
the Canal company last Tuesday accept
ing the offer to sell the rights and fran
chises of the canay company to the
United States for $40000,OOO, contingent
on the ratification of the treaty by the
United State senate. The statement is
made that the canal company's repre-
sentatives have Informed the United
States that the opinion given by the
company to sell the property to the
United States for $40,000,00G expires on
the fourth of March. 1t is know there
is considerable dissatisfaction with the
present directors of the company at
parting with the property for the
amount stated, as they regard it as
worth more than that. Whether the
company will regard the offer of the
United States as continuing the option
beyond the fourth of March In the event
of the failure of the ratification of the
Columbia treaty by that time could not
be ascertained.
William Nelson Cromwell. the attor-
ney for the Panama railroad and also
of the canals company had long talk
with the attorney general to-day, but
he declined absolutely to say what took
place at the interview.

New York. Feb. 2O.-The thirty-sev-
enth annual dinner of the Harvard club
was held at Delmonico's tonight. Three
hundred members and guests attended
and Charles S. Fairchild presided
Among those present were:
DIR. Henry Van Dyke, Rev. DIR. Will
liam r. Huntington, Edward l.. Paris,
Charles McKim, William G. Choate'' G.
Fl. Sargent, John Clinton Gray Austen
G. Fox, Dean L. B. r. Briggs, Edmund
Wetmore, Edward King, Hamilton w.
Mabie, Frederick Cromwell, Otto B.
Barnard, and Francis r. Appleton.
Professor L. B. r. Briggs, dean Of
Harvard college, said among other
things: II look with some concern at
the changes going on in some of the
colleges. The secondary schools are do
ing more than they used to do but can
not believe that the secondary schools
can do more than colleges can do for
men. l believe there is plenty of room
in the colleges and that the college is
and has always been the soul of the
university, and l believe we can keep
the bachelor of arts worth working for.
While we honor the university l hope
we will cherish the best part of her
the college"
Otto Barnard, president of the Yale
club, said in part: II find it one of
the happiest moments of my life to sit
behind the footlights and on the side
lines of Harvard. Harvard and Yale
are natural friends and allies. We
should always play together and run
and row our races together. We prize
dearly our associations. We are tired
of chickering's as to whether this man
or that man is an amateur or whether
this or that man is eligible. Let us
have no more or it.
THE evil all arises from the zeal of
the captains or managers who think
that their success in life depends on one
particular year. Then the newspapers
feast on our sauabbe and we become
very unhappy. l would suggest a
graduate committee, far from the storm
centers. to pass on these questions"
Hamilton w. Mabie in his address
said: 'One great unifying force in this
country is the American college. One
of its chief functions is to set value
on man. Values are constantly chang
ing, but the chief question In every CIV
iliZation is What is the value of man ?"'
