HUMANITY APPROACHING DIVINE IDEAL
By the Rev. z. F. Campbell


M great end, an end higher than the perfecting

1 W | folds the divine ideas little more fully.
1 " | Some day, we may hope, this idea will Be

GO reasonably hold that those generations which
have passed not stood still either, and still!

mighty Whole with and in the glorifed Christ.
"Then cometh the end" All illusions, all sense OF
separateness will disappear; the material will make
way spiritual the phenomenal for the real and
the universe unverses visible and invisible attain
to perfect conscious in the eternal life of God
This the New Testament view of the matter seen in
the large perspective of presentday knowledge OF
the vastness Of the universal order.
When we to the question Of the survival Of in
dividual consciousness after death more
than evidence which would satisfy the ordinary
religious mind might fail with the uniformed by the
religious temperament Nevertheless the lack may be
in the latter rather than the former The plane of
spiritual experience is real and is felt by most to be
higher than the purely intellectual and it is in the
plane Of spiritual experience that gertrude regarding
the immortality soul has hitherto generally been
attained.
There is the mind behind ALL and the divine love
that vbrates between soul and response the
call of human need like the ether that carries the cleo
trio point to point in the visible universe
see from the list of injured in connection with the
terrible mining disaster of few days ago that there
is possibility that interesting correspondent has
been killed II So perhaps he knows more of the
ways of God with than could ever tell him.
Death calamity those whom 1t calls higher but
only to those who their loss. And even that
would be turned JOY could but know how things
really are in the great beyond.

In New York the street cars are, being
reprinted in widely different hues-car-
mine, blue, green, yellow and drab. The
object is to give a distinctive color to
every car identified with a particular
thoroughfare. The system has been tried
in Milwaukee, at times, and has worked
well. It is a great deal easier to see
the color of a car at distance than to
read a name printed on small sign.

And now it is reported that a way has

What President Taft said in his

The woman who finds it difficult to do

contempt and whose arguments are now and tnen re-
futed by historians and other learned This con-
cepion Of the peace advocate however Is wrong The
peace advocate the public thinks of him is only
phantom He is only caricature created by those who
know nothing whatever about the movement and agt
tation for universal peace
War has from time immemorial been and is at the
present day the ruling motive and course Of human
society Peace is interruption and accident What
the advocates of peace want is precisely to turn the
thing around. They want to make peace the ruling
course and motive of human society," and war; in far
could arise to be only illegal Interruption
In our present society," which rests entirely upon
basis peace is maintained only through expensive
preparations and through the constructing Of fortified
tons
The for universal peace has in the last few
years developed into science Sciences create
plead or force phenomena-they merely observe them
and recognize them. The movement toward universal
peace accomplishes and the world be-
comes organized its separate units begin to unite
more closely This is process in harmony with the
laws of nature To conclude universal peace pact be-
tween all nations is the next step in human develop
ment.

AMERICAN pRoDIGA1ITY MOSTLY MYTHICAL
BY GugIieln1O FerrerO

In Europe one is fond of speaking Of the
barbarian extravaganza of the Americans
Naturally, there are men and women in
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, just as
there are such men and women in Paris, Lon
don and Berlin, who delight in spending their
money foolishly 1t is perhaps even true that
there are more of that class of men and WON
en- in America than there are in Europe. But

The American Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals is oppos-
ing in New York the annual sale of
chamelions for ornaments, on the ground
that most of the purchasers are ignorant
as to the needs Of the little creatures,
and quickly cause death by starvation.
Chamelions have been sold in Milwaukee
by street vendors, but admirers OF the
pretty creatures have in most instances
been able to keep them alive only short
time, even with the greatest of care.

The whole object of the peace advocates
consists in turning the people and the gov
ernments to kindness and mutual love- They
strive to show how much pleasanter more
comfortable and healthier 1t is to live In
peace than 1t is to quarrel and fight The
public imagines the peace advocates to be
sort of a wishy-washy flock of sheepish men
upon whom our war lords look down with

For the girl to whom they are becom-
ing these yellow shades are most de-
sirable this season. for they are beauti-

yellowish biscuit colorings are charm
ing and a touch of black sets off this
color scheme admirably.

The record of business failures in the
United States during the month of
June, 1909, compiled by Dun & Co.
shows aggregate liabilities of $12,6O7,-
OPP, compared with $14, 7OS,793 for the
corresponding month a year ago. There
was a larger number of failures than in
May, but the aggregate of liabilities was
smaller than for any previous month of
the current year. Here is a negative
evidence of business Improvement. There
are positive evidences in various direc-
tons, and there issthe hopeful outlook
for the grain crops. Just wait till Con-
gress finishes with the tariff law, and see
business rise up, stretch itself, and strike
into a brisk pace.

To produce the very fashionable
changeable effect modish women have
taken to wearing one pair of stockings
over another. Of course both are of the
sheerest silk and the under pair is nsuai-

The difference between the Shah OF
Persia and his people has been that they
have been for popular government as
prescribed in the new Persian Constitu-
ton. to which the Shah had consented,
while he has been only ostensibly for
abandonment of absolutism, and really
insistent upon having his own way in
everything and allowing the people their
own way in nothing. He is trying the
old Stuart game of promising everything
and yielding nothing. That turned out
to be in the end losing game for the
Stuarts. 1t will prove losing game
for the Shah.

The Medical Record contains an inter-
esting article by DR.. L. Duncan Buckley
of New York. in which he attributes the
popular exaggerated fear of leprosy to
"such books as Ben Hur.'" But "Ben
Hur" conveys no ghastlier impression of
the disease than does the Bible, from
which probably Gen. Wallace took his
cue. Wherever the popular dread orig
mated. it was not founded on observation
of the effects of the disease upon persons
in this country. DR.. Buckley inclines to
the theory that the human race may
have become largely immune to the
germs of the disease in the course of gen
erations-and this is probably true.

The trouble between Bolivia and Ar
gentina seems to represent on grand
scale the spirit of Kill the umpire!' b.
livia and Peru had a boundary dispute.
1t was referred to arbitration, and Ar
gentina was the arbitrator. The decision
which has been handed down displeases
Bolivian hotheads, and mob OF them
in La Paz attacked the Argentine lega-
ton. Argentina would be able to give
Bolivia a lesson if the bad blood should
result in war, but Bolivia's position is
so clearly wrong that probably her own
sober second thought will cause her to
recede from it.

DR.. Willett of the University of Chi
cago seems likely to be set down as a
common scold for his attack on woman
as an obstacle to the progress of the
human race. He and Prof. Starr, the
old bachelor who calls woman ''the eter-
nal savage are not likely to be envied
for their notoriety after study of the
comments provoked by their remarks.
Undoubtedly there are extravaganza
women, INSCRIPTIONS women, bad wom-
en-. There are equally reprehensfble
men. But the fact in regard to the
race is that it isvrnoving upward-and
woman as a sex contributes at least as
much to the uplift as man.

innate, though it would be a
grateful task to trace his intiu-
ence through some Of the more
direct channels, to hold him up
in these degenerate days, in his
various characters as neighbor
and friend, but it comes not
within the scope of this brief ar
ticle to do so. Suffice to say, he
lived nobly and died peacefully
at the advance age of nearly four
score years. The stern Reaper
found him, as shock of corn,
fully ripe for the harvest. "
