A Sonu in the HPaTf

We can sing away our cares easier
than we can reason them away. The
birds are the earliest to sing in the
morning; the birds are more without
care than anything else l know of.
Sing in the evening. Singing is the
last thing that robins do. When they
have done their daily work, when
they have flown their last flight and
picked up their last morsel of food
and cleared their bills on napkin Of
bough, then on the top twig they
sing one song of praise. l know they
sleep sweeter for it.
Oh, that we might sing every even
ing and morning, and. let song touch
song all the way through. Oh, that
we could. put song under, our burden
Oh, that we eotld extract th5 sense
Of sorrow by song! Then, sad things
would not poison so much.
When troubles come. go; lat them
With song. When griefs arise, sing
hem down. Lift the voice of praise
against cares. Praise God by sing
ing; that will lift you above trials OF
every sort. Attempt it. They sine

On earth, song is tn. appropriate Ian

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH

Duchess of Marlborough. who has
brought out the dormant talent in the

fame along different lines. from rail-

oratorical ability was years ago when
the grandfather of the Duchess deliv-
cred himself of that brief, but excor-

public.
Dispatches from London announce
that the titled lady is a speaker of
grace and eloquence, from whose lips
words flow with the smoothness of

tributed the prizes at children's

her ability to present her thoughts in

President Buchanan, his wife was one
of the most prominent society women
of Washington. Her activities were
not, however, limited to social func-

and one of the things she did was to
plant a little cedar tree in the Ma

SO strict is the obligation that ii does not adj

confessional. not even to save ones own life. to
save the state, or to remedy th> greatest spiritual
necessity. Contrast this with what occurred at
Auburn. n Y, last Monday Chester f. Gillette,
whose trial for a foul and cowardy crime attracted
widespread attention because of the loyalty and
fidelity of the innocent girl whose confidence he be-
trayed, was eectrocuted. He makes statement to
the warden, but does not confess his crime. He *
attended by two spiritual advisers and after the ex
ecution those two divines give to the Associated
Press the following confession:
Because our relationship with Chester Gillette

detailed statement, and simply wish to say that no

that Chester Z. Gillette had mother who was

mothers, she may believe her son to be innocent,
and that the death of Grace Brown occurred as re-
lated by her betrayer the witness stand If so,
what shock to her maternal instinct to have his

into men not so much to develop individuals as to

BISHOP SPALDING AND "THE CHURCH, .

The Rt. Rev. F. S. Spalding, spiritual head of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of Utah. when de-
fvering address on Socialism in his own cathe-
dral in this city, the evening Of March 26. was
reported by the morning papers to have said:
I'VE must realize that society and the church
are not doing what they can and ought till they
make effort to help the very poor who. first of
all need the help"
Brave words and bravey spoken, for from the
Bishops appeal to them, "to make an effort" we
must conclude that until now very little has been
done by either to help the poor and needy.
incidentally, we may remark that Bishop Pot
ter of New York when delivering. last summer at
Chautauqua of the closing lectures of the sea-
son. and that clerical acrobat. Ben Fay Mills when
ecturing in this city the other day, said the same
thing in almost the same words.
If the charge be true, it is righteous arraign-
ment, and one to which churchmen will do well TO
give most earnest heed. The Bishop of whose IN
tellectual standing, education and competency to
speak there be no doubt fails to inform us
what he means by "the church, Does he mean by
"the church" all the incongruous and denomina-
tional sects occupying the religious and quasi-re
