1t is not in great things only, but In
the very smallest that tho greatest glor,
Of tho Trinity is seen. Think Of the

Grafton OF them since tho world was
made, tho ever blessed Trinity has been
at work: God, the Father, conceving
each thinYin His eternal mind; God, the
Son, creating 1t and putting it into the
world, each thing according to It's law OF
life; God, the Holy Ghost inspiring 1t
with life and law, that it may grow and
thrive after its kind; what can any ra-
tional man do but bow his head and
worship in adoring silence Him who sits
upon the throne Of tho universe?
Let us, then, to-day join our feeble
voices to that great hymn OF praise which
ascends forever to the Triune God, from
suns and stars, clouds and showers,
beasts and birds. and every living thing,
giving Him thanks for His great glory.

At banquet in New York the other
night in honor OF cx-Ambassndor Chonte,
that gentleman made a speech In which
he said, In effect, that until Mr.. John
Hay went out Of the country for his
health and the President took foreign
affairs in his own hands, the ministers,
amtas sndors and consuls had never given
Mr. Roosevelt credit for being his own
dIplomatist.'' They had believed with
the Hay worshippers that whenever any
thing worthy of mention had been ac-
complshed in diplomatic dealings with
foreign countries, .Hny did it." We have
always had lurking suspicion that Mr.
Hay was getting a good deal Of credit
that did not belong to him. and it is
probable that Mr.. Roosevet's vigorous
and timely dealing with the Russian
Japanese matter in the absence Of Mr..
Hay, and without his assistance. knowl-
edge or consent, will open the eyes OF q
great many Hay worshppers oGtslde OF
the diplomatic circle

Since Governor Douglas has indicated
his desire to return to his Brockton shoe
shop and leave politicians to run the
polltics OF Massachusetts. the Democrats
of that dyed -the-wool Republican State
have been casting about for 9nother
candidate for gubernatorial honors, and
names suggested arc very numerous
Among others that Of Hon. Matthew G.
D. Borden was prominently mentioned.
FOR some reason Mr.. Borden's name
was received with much favor, and for
day or two he looked like a winner,
and perhaps would have continued to
hold first place on the track had not
two discoveries been made. First. It was
learned that Mr.. Borden was not q
Democrat, but Republican; and, second ne
that he was not citizen of Massachu-
