Emperor William Processes His Faith,

Discussion of the Hebrew religion
under the heading of Babylon and the
Bible by Prof. Delitzsch has called
forth a written profession of faith from
the German emperor. He says: 81 be-
lieve in the one and only God. We may
need form in order to teach his eX-
istence, especially for our children;
This form has hitherto been the Old
Testament. The present version of this
will be positively and substantially
modified under the influence of re-
search through inscriptions and eXca
yations. That does not matter. Mel
ther does it matter that much of the
nimhus of the chosen people will there
bv disappear. The kernel of the con
tents of the Old Testament will remain
always the same-God and his works.
Religion has never been the result of
science. but the pouring out OF the
heart and being of men from inter
course with God. This letter has
caused an immense sensation IN Ter
MANY. Prof. Delitzsch, commenting
upon it. saws His Majesty is not an or
thodox Christian. Emperor William :
orthodoxy has been the cause of deep
concern to German theologians since a
year ago, when he first listened to Prof
Delitzsch's lecture on the Babylonian
origin of the Bible and increased later
when the emperor personally assisted
the Assyriologist in showing stereop-
ticon pictures to 60 members of the
court. The pictures We're designed to
prove the Babylonish origin of the He
brew ideas. The emperor subscribed
to the funds to send Prof. Delitzsch
again to Assyria and discussed with
| b m when he returned his most recent
discoveries.

ONLY A SONG.

Only song, but oh! the glad cheer of it-- Song of the meadow-lark, listen and hear
 of it, How, when the twilight was slowly de-
 scending Der the wide prairies that seemed never
 ending Treeless, unbroken, they stretched far be-
 fore me, Beundless, unsmiling, the sky bending OCT me. t The pathway travelled seemed lonely and . long Until he poured forth the glad notes of
 his song. % Only a song, but, oh! the glad cheer of it. Brighter and sweeter than all you can hear
 of it; Other birds sing when the whispering winds
 bring them Song-hints so sweet that they cannot but
 sing them Or when skinming OCT clover blooms
 dainty and sweet Or Hitting, where poppies nod in the gold wheat. Only song, but, oh! the glad cheer of it. Ger the broad prairie, the brown and the
 drear of 1t; Brave little meadow-lark, my heart is
 swelling Full of thy song s joy that passes all telling. Learn it, my heart, though the way may
 be drear; Sing, for the old world has need of your
 cheer Sara schmucker. in s. s. Times.
