lofty scorn for mere personal regard or any ap-
proach toward hero-worship. she is liberal,
consistent, unselhsh. AS friend she is con-

firing; philanthropist liberal and wise,
giving to private and public charities large in
stalments of her time and money; as a reformer
courageous, with prophetic vision of rare
order, American woman, patriotic and
denocractic, yet it can be Said of her that "the
wofld is her country-to do good her religion"
She stands, as she always has done, the friend
of the oppressed and down-trodden. Works, not
professions crown her years of toll. The re-
stored Church of Christ on earth will be re-
newed and Israel of the Spirit will enter the
promised land of spiritual freedom and saliva

authority in the religious 1t condemns the use
of fear as a means to the evolution of either
right living or moral obedience. hence lays all
stress the abiding power of Love and right

to death, of victorious Good in contradistinction
to the outgrown and dismal theory of evils
