BISHOP OF WASHINGTON REST
ING AFTER TRIP ABROAD.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ANTIOCH. Me-. August 81, 1905.
Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, DID,,
Bishop Of Washington, Is a visitor here,
Iusticating after his trip abroad, and when
asked by the correspondent regarding his
trip said:
II went abroad principally by my doc
tors orders for rest and recuperation and
the German baths, but while I was in
England I took the opportunity of visiting
several of the great cathedrals to refresh
my mind regarding certain points in their
construction. l also saw some prominent
architects of others, and was in consulta-
ton with them that might gather some
much-needed information regarding the
specific details in the construction of Gothic
cathedrals. This Is a matter of no little
importance to US, for when the Cathedral
of st. Peter and Paul Is built upon Mount
st. Alban at Washington 1t is to be of the
best and purest Gothic style.
Every effort to improve upon the old
Gothic the past century has proved to be
more or less of failure. The desire for
originality, something new, has given rise
to all sorts and conditions Of churches
within the past century, and yet little or
no progress has been made. Certainly no
cathedral has been built in Amer,:a that
inspires the same devotion and enthusiasm
or wakens the religious associations that
every traveller feels in visiting the great
cathedrals of Europe"

Ninety-flve per cent Of the Cubans do
not habitually attend any church, says
Bishop Warren A. Gambler Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, writing Of
the present Religious Conditions in Gu
ba' in the Independent. OF the remain

cllned to believe that their sympathies
are moro nearly with the Protestants
than with the Roman Catholics. But
rnanent basis, is of SO recent establish
ment. dating practically from the year
1899, that there are not enough places
of woI ship on the island to meet the de-
1nands of the situation" Says the writer:
when the Protestant missionaries be-
gan their labors they found the island a.
land filled with religious Indifference. in
which there was considerable amount
of downright and outspoken infldelity Of
the Voltaire type. The Roman Catholic
Church, by reason Of its social connec-
ton with the Spanish government. and
from other causes, had lost Its hold upon
the Cuban people, and no other form Of
Christianity had been embraced by them"
Very much the same state of things re-
ligious continues, says the bishop. though
there are tangible results to be observed
for the seven years Of missionary effort.
Thus:
"The agents and colporteurs Of the
American BlDlo 0OcfSty dHu Sn6 1IOScoS~
ant preachers have scattered among the
people tens of thousands copies of the
Bible. These Bibles have not been given
away, for II they had they soon would
have been thrown away. Most OF them
have been sold to people who wished to
own them and were willing to pay for
them, It is now impossible to get these
books out of Cuba. or to restrain the
influence Of them. -
with the coming Of Protestanism into
Cuba has come also new type of sa-
cred songs. Roman Catholicism has Its
chants, requiems and the like but 1t has
no hymns Of JOY These are the peculiar
treasure of evangelical Christianity.
Thousands Of Cubans are now
singing these songs. There is no way
to estimate the pervasive power Of these
evangelical hymns. It must be candidly
admitted that many Of them are rather
the Wesleys and Moody and Sankey: but
despite their many blemishes and de-
fecfs they have power with people who

The Golden Rule in Business.
Christian Adyocafa

From the New York Christian Advocate.
Some misunderstood the Golden Rule
which is in spirit, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" and in act, what
soever we would that men should do to you,
do We even so to them Whoever trars-
acts any business (unless he has means and
the disposition to give his property away
is entitled under the Golden Rule to the
cost of the labor, the cost Of the materials,
the cost of storing them. the cost of show
ing them the cost of delivering them, a rea-
sonable compensation for his own time,
work and Judgment, reasonable profit and
a reasonable interest on his capital, with
the addition of the rent he has to pay Qf
he does not own his site) and an additional
amount to provide for future contingencies,
and for his support and that Of his family
in the non-productive period of old age or
Ill health. The would-be purchaser who
does not recognize this cannot plead the
Golden Rule in defense Of his view. and the
man who does not charge this. unless COM
PEELED to make sacrifices in order to keep
up his business Is overstraining the Golden
Rule as against himself and his family.
Meanwhile the Golden Rule can exert its
influence in his business transactions where

All business should be conducted as the

The phrase running q business as Christ

have had no such hymns before. Cuba,
as we'll rs all Spanish America. awaits
the coming of its Watts and its Charles
Wesley: but when they come, as come
they will in time, they will find in these
Latin LANDS better hymns than Watts and
Wesley found in England when they
came singing their songs Of salvation
through the eighteenth century"
The bishop records a movement for the
better observance of Sunday throughout
Cuba. while in Havana definite action has
been taken by the municipal authorities.
The ayuntamento directed that "all places
of business be closed on Sundays, except
ing Indertakers, drug stores restaurants,
cafes. fruit stores. newspaper Offices, ci-
gar stands and dafries. Bakeries, butcher
shops ana provision stores are allowed to
remain open until 10 am. on Sunda VS."
The ordinance was strongly supported,

Australian Rabbits.

From the New York Tribune.
A writer describes a plague of rabbits
In Australia: "a farmer barricades hinl-
self In with miles upon miles Of wire fenc-
ing. solely to keep out the rabbits. They
eat their way up to the barriers. and in
the fight for the green land within the
wire they die in myriads. AL around the
land they lie In heaps Of incred-
ible size. Swarm after swarm follows on,
and at last the heaps Of dead are 80 hig1
that the late corners make their way over
the fence, and the farm is ruined" That's
a pretty good story, but the latest newe
from Australia IL that the whole level OF
the continent is being elevated by these
strata of dying rabbits.

The lips now cold and lifeless tell no

Yet in our hearts thy songs are just

Sleep calmly in thy subterranean
dwelling
Which knows no color, tongue no sect

Be mine the noble task of ever tell
