THE FAITHS OF THE WORLD.
And the One True FaifL.

ANU INC Oue Irue FaIfH.
'Now faith is the substance Of
things hoped for. the evidence Of
things not SEEM
While the faiths of the world are
many; there is but one true faith.
The true faith is as these words de
clare--substance.
Substance is that which stands
under and holds up all things. One
of the great lessons we have to learn
is the wonderful uniformity and sim
plicity of the divine method.
To religious ignorance and preiu-
dice other religions are heathenism
and superstition. 1t seems common
to believe that one religion was
divinely given and that all others
were invented for mans destruction.
But when the complete religion
comes 1t will make an end Of all
these prejudices.
twill behold the one in the all and
the all inthe one. 1t will understand
and justify all the unnumbered WAYS
by which all people have grown into
realization of divine life. This one
religion will be both individual and
associative. 1t will be a personal re-
lation between the individual ard
sense of oneness with all others in
such fellowship and freedom of
thought and life as the one true
faith demands. On the way to this
beautiful consumation there are
many degrees of advancement. We
must discover the essentials and let
90 the non essentials.
The greatest possible discovery we
can make is that of the nature of
revelation. 1t is only when we un-
derstand this that we shall find our
understanding planted on the rock
of ages.
AS our mind glances over the face
of the world, we behold millions
worshipping by the faith of Brah.
manism, other millions, nearly a
third Of our race, by the faith called
Bhuddism; other millions holding
their duties to heaven and the
spirits by the teachings of Confucius
or Laortze, the two great teachers of
China.
Then We look again and behold
vast millions who bow toward Nee
ca, declaring there is but one God
and Mahomet His Prophet; while
nearer home beneath a myriad of
forms or denominations the great
civilized people of America are look
ing to God through Christ. Is
there any law of uniformity that
will bring all these together and

Found the Negro In a Cave

Columbus, Ga, Feb. 16-In q secret
cave In an out-ofthe-way ravine north
or Phenix City. Marshal Campbell,
OF that town, found a burglar whom
ne has been searching for for several
days. He is Sam Carter, a negro,
who burglarized Phenix City home
several days ago. The burglar had
installed himself comfortably in the
cave, where were stored the stolen
articles. A telegram this afternoon
from Birmingham asked the officer to
mold the negro. as he is thought to be
person wanted in that city for bur.
giary. When the marshal found the
negro in the cave he covered him be-
fore he could resist.

Fort Vailey, Ca, Feb. 16.-On Sun
day nisht Frank Dyes, a farmer liv-
ing u miles from town, was shot
AMI almost Instantly killed by his son,
Seneca, young man, II years old.
Mr Dyes had started to bed, and made
some trivial complaint about the con-
dition OF tho cover. The son and
wife Of the man became offended at
his remarks. and the words following
very soon led up to a general family
Sy
it Is said the father struck the Boy

and was in the act Of hitting his wife,
when the son shot at tho father three
times, only one of the balls striking
him, it entering the side and going
almost entirely through his body.
The boy states that he shot into
the ceiling twice to frighten his faith
er, after which his father rushed at
him, and in the scuffle the pistol was
accidentally discharged, which resulted
in Mr.. Dyes death. No witnesses
except the immediate members of the
femily were present, and they all say
the son was not at fault.
Mr.. Dyes was about fifty-eight
years old, and bore the reputation of

make them know each other &c
brothers, who under different names
are OF the same great Mother Earth
and great Father in Heaven? If
such discovery is possible, surely
1t is the lifting up of the standard to
which all people shall be gathered
Whatever of vitality there is in
Brahmanism, Buddhism, Confucian-
Ism or Christianity it is in exact
proportion to the measure of their
ministry to their devotees from this
one life and substance or Divine
Power.
All the varied sects and cults
that have lived their day or are still
pursuing their devious ways have
been connected with some realization
IN their founders of the nature of
this substance to be known in Reve-
lation.
In this substance or consciousness
enjoyed with intelligence, are all the
four mingled delights of Heaven and
earth, for faith is the substance of
things hoped for. 1t saves the spir-
it from loneliness. 1t enables US to
know spiritual things as more real
than those of matter. 1t redeems
and saves the body. 1t saves the
soul. We cannot have this faith by
knowledge. We must live it also.
We cannot have it by love apart
from truth and worth; nor by the
seeking of truth without the love for
each in all and all in each. The vi.
tallty of every faith or religion is to
be measured by the degree in which
it brings the believers into intelligent
conscious relation with Divine
Power. When we reach to this
state we can have no word of i'm
patience or condemnation for anv
other religious faith or worship.
This is the faith that saves the
world with perfect Judgment, con.
sumation and restoration of all
things hoped for.
1t was this spirit Of faith which
influenced the honest, intelligent
representatives of the faiths of the
world to assemble at Chicago with
love and fellowship to worship to-
gether and acknowledge five holy
books of Revelation.
Since ever human beings have as.
pred or thought they have felt that
there was great unseen intelligent
force guiding and directing them.
when will you believe that neither
In this mountain nor yet in Jeru-
salem So, shalt men worship the Father? |
Ihe hour cometh and now is when
true worshippers shall worship the |
Father in spirit and in truth, for the |
Father seeketh such to worship him. |

PARSONS IBID" TO DINNER.
Minister to Adopt Unique
Method.

A Springfield (Mass.) clergyman is
telling story Of his last vacation which
is probably better appreciated by his fell
OWs who have served the Lord in the
villages than by those members Of the
profession who have ministered only to
city charges, says the Boston Globe.
II took over a pulpit in little coun-
Try town about 20 miles from here" he
says, conducted the services to an end,
then waited for the usual invitation to
dinner. Because OF some reason it did
aot come. I was hungry as a bear. sc
finally in desperation. approached a
prosperous looking farmer whom I
had met before the service and said:
Brother, won't you come home with
me to dinner?' Gladly, parson,' he an
swered. where do you liver About %
miles from here answered as airily as
possible. For one moment he looked
dumfounded, then he saw the fun Of the
situation, and his hard old face broke
into a thousand wrinkles as he grasped
my hand and said: 'Parson, let's 90
over to my house for dinner. It's heap

What the Little Lad Wanted.

A little grandson of mine, living in
Cape Town, when about three years
old was taken to church, and the
bishop-now the archbishop-was
preaching. Growing tired, he said
out loud: Mother, l wishes bishop
would go back to Heaven; 1 wants
go home.'s' Meeting his lordship some
time afterward / told him this story,
adding that I thought the child had
paid MIN a very delicate compliment.
The same boy had a little garden of
his own, which was ravaged by
neighborhood cats, large and fierce,
of which Phil stood in great fear.
So one night he added this petition
to his usual prayers: please, God,
send an angel to take care of my
garden, and it had better be one
that's not afraid of tomcats-"-Lon-
don Spectator.
