Brother J. H. Hoyt, also Past Master,
of New Canaan, was called upon, and
in his easy and pleasing manner of
speech, gave few words of encourage
ment and cheer for the good of the Or

Granger, but his face has been missed
from some of the meetings the past
year, owing to bis several duties as pas
tor of the Congregational church of
New Canaan. Lecturer Mrs Godfrey
desired to returna grateful thanks to
all who had assisted her with the pro-
gram, the past year, and hearty vote
of thanks was given her for the pleas
ing and able manner in which she had
discharged her duties A hearty vote
of thanks was also given Greenfield Hill

tainment provided for the visitors.
The meeting, a very successful one

season. The next meeting for the an
nual election of officers will be held ir

A Chicago man has observed that
"'GOod deeds are better than real es-

worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend helping

Most men appreciate a, kind word and
encouragement more than substantial
help. There are persons in this COM
munlty who might Jruthfully say:

and mutual support of those who are
not only married in the Lord, but in
the unity and fellowship Of an undi-
vided faith!
My experience during thirty years in
the ministry, in which I>have known
the history of a thousand families,
perhaps, does not lead me to look with
much favor upon the marriage of per-
sons holding diverse religious convic
tions, even though the sectarian diff
ferences between them may not be
taken very seriously.

MIXING RELIGIONs-BY o. o. WRIGHT

God is one and the same everywhere,
and always: and human nature is one
and the same among all races and ma
tions; and still the chief diff rences
among men are moral and spiritual.
It seems as though there ought to be
but one religion which should bind
all the children of earth together
in unity and peace. There is but one
religion looking at the matter from
the Christian point of view. We
believe in the one universal faith
which makes all men brethren! But
the larger part of the world has not
been converted to our way Of thinking
yet.
Religion being the chief thing about
any person, or any nation, we must ex-
pect that the chief cause Of strife
and hatred will grow out of religious
convictions. Our Father in heaven is
the same always, but every child of
earth stands in his own personal re-
lation to God: and each must keep his
own conscience and go by it. And we
are all different. The bitterest con-
troversies and the bloodiest wars have
always been caused by religious differ
ences; and the religious controversies
and wars of ChristendOm have been
the bittereSt and bloodiest of all,
perhaps. AS Bulwer says, ''There is
nothing in human passion like good
brotheriy hatred"
The hatred of the heather against
the Christian; the hatred of the Jew
against the Christian, and of the
Christian against the Jew are familiar
examples; but the hatred of Christians
against each other has been the climax
of all bitterness on earth. And still
there is but one Lord, one faith, one
baptism; and the essential elements of
THE religious life and character are the

THE P. O. INVESTIGATION
Postmaster General Payne Gives Out
Statement.

Washington. April 14.-Postmaster Cen
eral Payne last evening gave out a. state
ment in which he announced that the in
vestigation of the postoffice department
will be continued, and that the parties
found guilty Of wrong-doing will be sum-
marily dealt with. The statement is as
follows:
During the months of January and February
reports reached which I deemed 1t for the
public interest to Investigate, and to personally
gather such information and facts as would
enable the postofhce department to undertake a
thoro Investigation to the truth or falsity of
these reports. I directed Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow to take the preparatory
steps to Investigate, If necessary using for that
purpose postoffce inspectors and such other
methods would thoroly ascertain the truth or
falsity Of the charges insinua tons made, and
he was instructed to proceed promptly and with
| vigor during my absence Since my return this
morning l have not General Bristow, so
not advised OF the progress made. The
Investigation will continue, and II any wrong
is disclosed the parties guilty Of such wrong
doing will be summarly dealt with. If the
system method of doing business in the de-
partment is faulty. the proper remedies will be
applied without fear favor. inaugurated
the investigation with the determination that
| it should be exhaustive. 1t Is proper for me
to add that laid before the president the in
formation which I had in my possession and that
he fully approved Of the action proposed by me.
| The whole administration of the post
office department Is made subject to the
| investigation under the postmaster gen
erals direction, and every inquiry will be
made as thcro as the departments most
expert inspectors can make 1t.
| 1t is learned that it will be several weeks
before the postoffice inspectors will be
able to complete: their work When they
shall have finished, Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow will prepare
comprehensive report which will neces
sarily explain why publicity was not giver
to the matter before.
The report that the arrest Of two +higl
officials Of the postofflce department i
expected MON entarily is denied officially.

AN EUROPEAN TARIFF
A Proposition for a Zollverein to
S. Meet American Com " g.
f. - petition.

Rome, April 14.-Count Won Schwerin
Loewitz, a leading member of the reich
tag and president Of the German agricul-
tural council, will present a proposition to
the agricultural congress for European
agricolo commercial zollveretn to meet
American competition. The count said
last night: ~
My proposition does not exactly con-
template European zollverein, but mere~
ly an understanding between the Euro
pean countries to put themselves In a po-
sition to safeguard their agricultural in
terests through combined system Of pro-
tective tariffs.
My scheme is based on differences in
the natural conditions of production,
which will have to- be leveled by protec-
zionist duties. These differences are con-
siderably less between the European
states, especially the central states, than
between the European states and the
oversee countries. The unequal COMPETE
ton of the non European product is grow
ing daily owing to the diminutlon III ex-
pense Of transportation from the nom
European countries. especially America
and the British colonies. I understand
that the economic superiority, Of large in
dustrial territories tends toward economic
| coalition, hence a coalition OF the Euro
pean countries is absolutely necessary.
| The efforts in this direction have failed
| nltllertO because no government WISHES
| to abandon it's independence in this field
in favor Of such union, and it is also
| difficult to agree on a common tariff.
Protection is needed in varying pro-
portions in the different countries and a
| common tariff demands a common admin
| istration. All this is difficult to estab-
lish. Besides an economic coalition re-
quires a certain political coalition, which
| is far from likely. Hence, the idea Of a
European customs union must be re.
nounced, and instead it must be recon-
mended that in concluding commercial
treaties among European states a CLAUSE
be introduced whereby goods exported
from one country to another shall enjoy
special low duties. which will not be ap-
piled to the same goods coming from non.
European countries. This would prepare
a way to the future formation of a Euro.
| pean customs union.''
