Fowls are very fond of their homes
and dislike being moved TO new loca-
tons. If eggs are the object il is most
important that birds should not be
moved from pen to pen, as IT will de-
lay egg production and also diminish
the supply. Pullets for early laying
should, if possible, be brought up with
in sight of their future laying run or
pen. On the contrary, if it IS wished
to delay the laying Of pullet, and to
encourage growth for prize purposes,

MANY CATHOLICS TO
MEET HERE TOMORROW

The Apostolic Mission House at Brook
land, D. c., will be the scene of a notable
gathering of Catholics tomorrow, when over
hundred missionaries, from all sections
of the country, secular priests. Dominicans,
Jesuits, Franciscans, Passionists, Joseph
ties, Paulists, Lazarists and others, will as
semble there, for the purpose of taking
part in the conference of missionaries. The
union of all the Roman Catholic religious
orders of the country is one of the most re-
markable features of this gathering. Men
who are consecrated to the service of the
church forget all other differences, whether
It be of race or of work, when the question
is of the best means of bringing the nom
Catholic into the church. While there will
be none of the bishops present, on account
of their numerous gagements at this time
of the year, still they have commended the
work.

"Huv shall we sing the Lords song in strange

This verse is taken from one of the
hymns which the Jewish pilgrims sang as
they went up to Jerusalem TO attend the
great national feasts. Like all national
songs, however II has its foundation upon
some happening of the past which has
stamped itself upon national or individual
consciousness. The event to which this
psalm owes its birth is outwardly the cap
tivity in Babylon; inwardly it is the ex-
perience of a soul. and because such ex-
periences belong to no special age or ma
ton. we may reconstruct them in fancy
and yet the fancy will be true.

JEWS IN RUSSIA ARE

NEW YORK, June 9.-The hope of the
Russian Jews so far as the douma Is con-
cerned is now looming up brighter than
ever, though IL must not be forgotten that
the fate of the douma itself is uncertain.
A correspondent of the Jewish Daily News,
writing from ST. Petersburg, thinks that
the outlook is very good, but at the same
time writer from Warsaw communicates
to the same paper his gloomy forebodlngs
for the future expressing his fear of fresh
arti-Jewish riots which are being agltated
on all sides. Still, according to the 81
Petersburg writer, there is no room for
despair. He says:
considering our deplorable position hlth-
erto. we really could not expect anything
better. Just think In a country where the
Jews were denied not only all the CIVIC
rights but all human considerations, Whele

CHURCHMEN PROTEST.
Demonstration in London Against
Education Bill

LONDON. June 9.-Thirty-three special
trains brought TO London yesterday morn
ing 1900 Lancashire churchmen to protest
against the education bill. The professors
arrived at various railroad stations and pro-
ceeded to Regents Park, where they massed
and, accompanied by bands of music and
carrying banners, marched through the
principal thoroughfares TO Albert Hall.
The procession was headed by the bishops
OF London and Manchester and Included
many clergymen. There was an immense
gathering at Albert Hall and the streets in
its vicinity were crowded. The chief reso-
luton submitted to the meeting recorded in
behalf of the Lancashire churchnen an
emphatic protest against the bill on the
ground that II is destructive OF all forms
of religious instruction in the. elemental
schools and contained the assertion that
the only true safeguard OF religious educa-
ton in the schools is a continuation OF tho
UNCONVENTIONAL schools
Much enthusiasm was evlnced. The bish-
ops were the recipients of frequent demon
strations In the streets and hall.
The visitors for the most part were fac
tory employees, forming a typically Lanca-
shire crowd, but all classes were represents
ed and they all came at their own expense.
Consequently the protest was more sig
nincant than most of such demonstrations.

The installation of Rev. DR.. Thomas Gull
berson Clark as pastor of the Takoma
Presbyterian Church Wednesday evening
last marks a new era in the history of that
church. DR.. Clark comes to Takoma Park
with a most desirable field for labor, and
his work has already been productive of
results In that community. He is regarded
as a preacher of marked ability and elo-
quence and his scholastic training has
been of the highest standard. He has
travelled considerably through the east and
received the foundation of his work at Je-
rusalem, where he went after his first
year at college to recuperate his health
which had broken down by hard study. He
made a complete study of the Bible while
in Palestine, and when he returned to this
country and resumed his studies at col
lege, after recovering his health, he was
well fitted to take up the profession he
had planned when young man.
His work at Grand Island, Neb., where
he was for sixteen years pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, resulted in

TRADITIONS OF PAST
ARE PASSING AWAY

CHICAGO. June Q. 49, Ministers from all
parts of the middle west this week listened
10 Prot George Burman Foster of the
University of Chicago. whose advanced
IDEAS in theology published in The Finality
OF the Christian Religion" caused recent
storm Of disarproval among the local Bap-
list pastors. Prof. Foster set forth some
OF his theories In an address on the Mod
ern Conception of God at the session OF
the congress Of religions IN Cobb Hall.
God is transcendant, in that He can
make things come to pass declared Prof,
Foster God must be a consciousness and
not a substance Substance has passed
away The conception of Him as con-
seriousness Is more final and fuller. 1t Is
infinitely richer. God must be thought OF
as moral.
ITO the modern man God Is becoming
being We cannot have an unfinished exist
ence and a finished God. But II we do
have this God must be living God, and II
God were living. Uuchanging, always equal,
It must be a stupid life, even for God:
The kernel Of the matter is not In the kind
OF God, but the experience through which
the idea IS reached.
"All that Il original. all that Is essential
is invisible And the world as II has come
from its source IL invisible and transitory.
What we call life and death belongs TO the
invisible. Therefore, the essence of life, as
of death, Is eternaly hidden from man.
The origin of death is the same as of life.
Religion in the future will consist more
OF science and less of speech Traditions
are randy pcrishng The conception Of
God is Ia the progress of becoming rather
than being. The essence of man Is the for
ward striving toward a flying goal Ideas
are the servants and the signboards OF the
tourney AS life and experience change
the ideas change Therefore We cannot
speak definitely OF a God Idea though We
can confidently Of the conception Of the
world and the man"

1t Is only a languid interest that our

FORWARD MOVEMENT OF TAKOMA

succeeded him. DR.. Little remained for a
period of nearly three years and during
that time the church grew and prospered
DIR. Little received a call in 1885, which
he accepted and Rev. John Van Ness who
had just graduated from Princeton, was
called to the field. Mr.. Van Ness was
dained and regularly installed as pastor.
AT this time the church was receiving
$500 per annum from the home mission
board toward it's support, the Sabbath
school was still conducted as a union
ganization and not under the control of the
session.

The favorable attitude of the parliament
airy leaders to the Jews may be Inferred
from the following characteristic fact: In
Moscow there broke out quarrel regarding
the candidacy of Prince Dolgorukof and
Herzenstein for the parliamentary cleo
tons Finally Prince Dolgorukof yielded
the candidacy to Herzenstein, on the ground
that the latter comes from the people that
has suffered more than any other from the
disturbances: and although Dolgorukof is a
scion of the highest Russian aristocracy
and, being descended from Rurik, is of as
noble descent as the car himself yet he
gave the pTimacy to a descendant of the
ancient patriarchs. Such tact and liberal
mindedness are not seen even in France or
Germany.
TT is not without reason that the anti
Semitic journals, like the Novoe Vremya
bewail the fact that even such cities as St.
Petersburg and Moscow have Jewish rep
resentatives."
