THE RUPTURE is COMPLETE
The Differences Between France and
the Vatican Are Unreconcilable.
Ordered to Leave and the Pnpa1
Nuncio in Paris VIII Follow.

Paris, July 30.-Although no official
announcement has yet been made, 1t
can be positively affirmed that the rup-.
ture between France and the vatican
is complete. The holy sees lengthy
reply to the French note, though most
courteously worded, merely amounts to
a polite statement that the pope does
not intend to infringe the stipulations
of the concordat and will not with
draw the letters calling the bishops
of Dion and Laval to Rome.
Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub
LEGATION of the French answer until the
pope is notified, but French Minister
Delcasse has sent NJ. DeCourcel, the
French charge d 'affaires at the vatican,
two notes, one for the papal secretary
of state announcing the rupture, and
the second a personal note instructing
the charge d'affaires and the others
of the staff of the embassy to return
to Paris Immediately after his mission
is accomplished. When NJ. DeCourcels
advices reach French Minister DelcasSe
the latter will Immediately request the
papal nuncio here to leave France.
1t is not expected that the rupture
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual withdrawal of the
representatives of France and the vat
lean, and the suppression of the en-
bassy and nuEciature, as the denuncia-
ton of the concordat requires parlia-
mentary sanction. Consequently, fresh
developments are improbable until the
appointment of the new bishops come
up. WelI-informed persons do not be-
lieve that the vatican will retaliate
by Withdrawing Frances protectorate
over the eastern Catholics

Chicago, July 30.-Before a meeting
Saturday, assembled, it was disclosed
that resolution would be introduced
demanding that President Roosevelt
give word that the United States dis
trict attorneys all over the country be-
gin criminal prosecution against the
big packing plants which, two years
ago, were permanently enjOined from
combining to fix prices not only upon
finished products, but upon live stock.
1t is to be urged upon the president
that the best interests of the entire
country are prejudiced by the great
strike which has affected all parts Of
the country, and that widespread mis-
cry has been caused.
COuntry's Interests Prejudiced.
Addressed to President Roosevelt,
the original resolution for considera-
ton by the allied trades, but which
it was expected would be somewhat
modified after consideration, is as fol-
lows:
Aware that a strike of over so, 900
workmen engaged in the packing
plants of the United States is now
pending, and the packers have opened
a fight with the object of disrupting
the labor organizations involved; and
eff this struggle continues it will re-
suit in widespread misery and labor
war that can only have disastrous eff
feet upon the public as well as upon
those directly concerned.
The Address.
Feeling that the crisis is a grave
one, we appeal to you for intervention
to secure for us a just and equitable
have been of long duration.
"One word from you will inevitably
bring about an adjustment of the pres
ent controversy, as the evidence on
which the government secured per-
manent injunction again the Meat
trust is also sufficient to indict before
a federal grand jury every man en-
gagged in this conspiracy to control the
prices of live stock and the meat food
product handled by the packing in
dustries.'

Delinquent Taxes for 1908.

From reports sent the comptroller
by county trustees it appears tie
amount of delinquent taxes for the
year 1903 will be unusually small.
The only delinquent tax reported to
the comptroller is the amount as
sessed against the lands sold TIE
State. So far seven counties have
reported, all small sums, however.
East Tennessee makes the best
showing. Hamilton county shows
only 500 delinquent out Of an as
sessment of $1,000.

Chicago Bureau of Charities Has
Nothing for Strikers Families.
Chicago, April 3O.-A report was cir
culated among the packing house strik-
ers that applicants at the office of the
bureau of charities had been turned
away with the reply that nothing could
be done for them. 1t was said that
this discrimination occurred only in
the cases of strikers and their fam
lilies.
Local Agent Crosby, of the bureau OF
charities, said: I'VE feel that the
unions should take care of their own
people. Any cases which come to our
attention will be referred to Mr.. Don
nelly; this at his own request
President Donnelly said: I'VE are
able to take care of our members and
those dependent upon them, although
no strike benefits have been paid, and
our commissary department is not
quite ready for opening. Regarding
the bureau of charities, l believe the
fact is that the institution is not in
position to assist anyone"

n DING the will of God may bring suf-
II fering, but it means blessing in the
end. But what comfort to know that
the affection is in line with the will of
God. Peter SAYS land who is there who
knew what suffering meant better than
he-surely none. save it were Paul.:
Wherefore let them also that suffer
according to the will of God commit
their souls in well doing to a faithful
Creator" The Cody shall suffer perse-
cution. but what glory is to some day
shine out of that suffering! We say
'"Thy will be done" as though it were
the hardest and saGdest thing in all the
world. when it is the most glorious, for
that will will find its joy and realiza-
ton ultimately in the best and most en-
during. Doing Gods will is a copartner-
ship affair. Christ by His indwelling
Spirit is present and ready to help us do
what we cannot do ourselves. And not
only does Christ's strength become our
strength, but His desires become our
desires. The Spirit maketh interces-
sion for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered; and He which searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because He maketh intercession
for the saints according to the will of
God" Surely. this is blessed encourage
ment for those who desire to know and
do the will of God. Christ the One Who
gives us His righteousness, Christ the
One Who dwells within to help US do
the will of God. The highest end and
aim of man should be, as Peter puts it, to
no longer live the rest of his time in the
flesh to the Iusts of men, but to the will
Of God, Let US will to do the wiz of
God.

r Cd has a will to be done on earth
VI even as it is perfectly done in
Heaven. And that this will may be
perfectly done requires first that God
shall reveal that will to man; and sec

more than man is able to perform. Man
on his part must seek to know what the
Will of God is and then have the desire
and purpose to perform that will as it is

II ERE we have illustration of two
classes of people in the world to-
day. Both refuse to do the will of God.
One class recognize the claim of God
upon them, but being so occupied with
their own affairs, aud the doing of their
own will, they fail to do the will of God.
The other class in rebellion of heart re-
fuse to recognize that God has any claim
upon them. And would that it were
true that all in such rebellion would re-
pent and do the will of God. But, alas,
many, many will mott But there are
those who are coming. The will is be-
ing given up for Gods will; the desire OF
man is being given up for the desire of
God. The family circle of Jesus is grow
ing. In ever widening stretch of arm
He points out His mother and brethren,
including not those who only say Lord,
Lord. and go on doing their own will, but
including those who GO the will of God.
The acceptance of Christ is the begin
ming of the doing the will of God. The
successive steps are taken as We do the
will of God as it is revealed to us. One
step at a time, is Gods order. Gods
