HISTORY AND SCIENCE
PROVE SOUL ETERNAL
So Says the Rev. Everard w. Snow in
Sermon at Gunton Church.

Immortality Of the Soul was the sub
iect Of sermon delivered by the Rev.
Everard w. Snow. assistant pastor OF
the Walnut Avenue Presbyterian Church,
OF Boston, yesterday morning at the
Gunton-Temple Memorial Church. The
text was taken from John xiv:19. BE
cause I Live Ye Shall Live Also"
The Christian church firmly believes
in the Immortality Of the soul, Mr.. Snow
said, and well defined reasons are given
for the faith. Chief among the factors
that suostantiate the belief are science,
history, and self-reason.
The attitude of science is a question
ing one," he said, "and asks Can the
thinking principle in man exist apart
from the brain?' Once she acknowledged
that this is possible, all the ground o:
her questioning attitude must be under
mined. She cannot, however, authori-
tatively deny the doctrine of the i'm
mortality Of the soul.
Again. history by showing us the al
most universal character of this belief,
leads US to the natural conclusion that
Il is one that must conform with the
facts of human nature.
Thirdly. reason gives us strong pre-
sumption for believing in the doctrine OF
Immortality, because such belief seems
TO give US the only natural solution of
the enigmas of mans being. OF three
Of these enigmas which are explicable
only on the ground of his immortality,
one is the fact that the scale OF mans
nature is too great for the present
scenes Of his existence
This well grounded conviction gives
US the right perspective from which to
view the present life, enabling us to see
ii In the fitting school that prepares US
for that which is yet 10 come. and call
ing us TO so make use Of the present life
with its larger opportunities and greater
attractiveness that We may begin the
immortal life here"

AND PRACTICE
DIGNIFY|NG LABOR
DR.. Van Schaick'S Sermon on a
Timely Topic.

The Labor Day sermon preached yes
terday at the Church of Our Father, by
the pastor. the Rev John Van Schaick,
jr., was eloquent both in thought and
diction. To work. he said, is not dis
grace, and all men should labor. The
Gospel of Labor" was the subject of his
discourse. which was based on texts from
Deuteronomy, viz, six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work." and John,
Wiz. my FatheE worketh hitherto and
work.
The Rev Mr.. Van schaick said. in
part:
This is good basis for a Labor Day
sermon, and it has a historical setting
that comes down TO us through the cen
turtles, hoary with age, furnishing us
with an injunction to work We all
ought to work, we all have a right to
work, but no one should overwork or
work amid conditions that are degrad-
ing.
But TO reduce the whole thing to
common sense. Here is a world. There
are just so many mouths to be fed and
just so many to feed them Where is
there in ethics or religion or common
sense any basis for the theory that
some of these should toll doubly hard
to support others in idleness. The theory
did not go very far when starvation
faced the coIonists at jamestown, and
Captain John Smith took the helm and
compelled ali the fine gentlemen to
work who would eat.
Army of the Unemployed.
"out in Rock Creek Park working on
the roads is a gang of men clad in
stripes and guarded by bullets; they are
working IN sullen submission, because
they have TO. This gang is known as
the chain gang of the District of Colum-
bia They are our felow-country-m in
chains-slaves in the land of light and
law Men are out of work and they get
desperate. They break the laws and
then they are put to work.
When will people learn that It is
cheaper to put laborers to work before
breaking the law than after. TO be
sure the finding of work is part of the
discipline, but still there is the army
of the unemployed. Men are sometimes
thrown out of employment through
mere whim. The Government cannot
interfere, but it could buy a plat of
ground and make 1t possible for the man
who will work to earn a living wage
The Right to Work
Everybody has a right TO work
Children Of the rich should not be de-
prived OF work. Their parents often
say that their children shall not work
as they had 10. A frightful neglect of hu-
man society has come through the be-
lief that it is undigniffed to let a son
carry a bundle through the streets and
work for himself
I'VE should try to realize that our
work is a part OF the great scheme of
Gods work. and that We are contribu-
ting TO a common cause. and that we
are advancing common civilization ami
building up purified society. We can
come to perceive this more fully 10y
communing with God and asking His as
sistance. We can realize it more ilIly
by helping others. sor in this way The
tide Of spiritual life will come back
lifting US higher"

Work to Continue Tuesday.

1t is also understood that the jury has
been ready for several days to report
able to do so, its time being taken up
in hearing testimony. The witnesses
who were summoned to testify came
from distant cities and in order that
they should not be unnecessarily detain-
ed they were given an opportunity 10
appear before the jury. Had 1t not been
for this interruption there is little
doubt the jury would have made a re-
port within the past few days.
The grand jury will resume consid-
Grafton of the Postoffice scandals on

IN SUPREME
COURT
Act Presented In the Senate
Yesterday for the Appointment
Of an Additional Justice.

petition signed by more than 200 at
torneys Of Providence county. headed by
Walter +. Angel, Richard b. Comstock
and Attorney General stearns has been
drawn up requesting the appointment by
the general assembly OF an additional
justice OF the supreme court Another
petition to the same effect ia being cir
culated among local lawyers. and one is
being passed around among the lawyers
OF Woonsocket.
Practically every lawyer in the city
has or will sign the petition and all shades
OF political belief are included in the list
Of signers.
The petition was sent to the senate
yesterday, and Senator Benjamin r.
Robinson. Jr.. OF South Kingstown pre-
sented an act amending chapter 221 of the
general laws. providing for the increase
TO the staff Of justices asked for.
The petitioners set forth their reasons
for requesting the legislative creation
Of an additional supreme court justice,
saying first that trials OF civil causes In
the common pleas division OF the court
are. and for a long time have been.
greatly delayed because OF an insufficient
number Of Justices Of the court as
signed TO That division and mat thIs
condition should be relieved by an in
crease In the number OF associated Jus
tices OF the court.
The petition cites the facts that citi-
zens have continually been obliged 10 ex-
pend large sums Of money for the pur-
pose Of summoning witnesses and other
wise preparing for trials which have not
been heard on the day assigned for trial
because of the lack OF justices to pre-
side.
II is also stated IN the petition that
the common pleas division OF Provi-
dence county for the year ending March
l. 1909. was more than double the mum
Der entered IN the year ending I'm May
1891, and the number OF other causes -.
Also greatly increased.

gines and railroads that circle the globe

thousands Of avenues man proves himself
TO be also a creator.
The creator of worlds never created
town or a city or a steamship or lico-
motive. but he created man and gave him
the power aud the genius TO create these
magnificent conceptions and ideals. which
so grandly mark his revolution and pro-
gress
II man is endowed by his creator with
qualities which render him capable OF
creating these material things. why shall
he not exercise his God given power and
dominion over his own physical being
Christ, the Divine son declares that II
Is the spirit which hath power, the flesh
has no energy or vitality OF itself, in his
own words ne Saws the flesh profiteth

hesitate TO exercise this property OF his
being in overcoming disease and pain
and IN the harmonious adjustment OF
every unhappy or unfortunate condition
by which he or others may be afflicted.
This power when enforced by strong
and resolute effort will accomplish the
most marvellous results. When Jesus
said To the Leper II will be thou clean"
he revealed the real genesis OF the mys-
terry Of healing, and when he gave utter
ance TO these words "Tf We abide in me
and my words abide in you, We shall ask
what ye will and IT shall be done unto
you, and IL We believe in me the works
that ] do, shall we do also" He gave

principle OF the disciples OF the New Life
upon which they base their power TO
heal all manner of disease"

on the first message came a second mes
sage through from Honolulu. 1t was a
greeting from the people of Hawaii to
Clarence Ii. Mackay, president of the
Cable company, congratulating him upon
the completion of the cablel The line
is now open for public business.
The opening of this cable line marks a
great step in the work of connecting the
United States with its island possessions.
The next step is to be the completion of
the cable between Honolulu and the Phil
ippines. The cable to Australia has been
in operation about five weeks, with most
satisfactory results from a business
standpoint.
A midway station, in an uninhabited
and hitherto unknown Island in the Pa
cifc between Hawaii and Guam, is the
greatest obstacle yet encountered. The
island is listed as Midway island, and
except for millions of birds is unin-
habited The only visitors to it have
been japanese and Chinese brigands, who
used it for game hunting and for meet
ing place for the division of loot.
Up to date the officials of the cable
company have been unable to learn what
government, if any, has control of end
jurisdiction over the island. If it is de-
termined that it belongs TO the United
States an effort win be made to have the
