doctrine of an indwelling divinity in

much in Epictetus that has not been
improved on In eighteen hundred

realization of the allness of spirit, and

Inclusion.

Man ID as big as all men. He who
excludes any one is therefore that far
from complete manhood. Religion is
big as all religions, and he who does
not accept the truth of all religions. Is
that far from being a full statured
child of the Spirit. God includes all
souls and all faiths, and the nearer.
we come to accepting the good in all,
without prejudice and without mar
rowness, the more godlike we grow.
2 Some men imagine the particular
spot Of earth in which they were born
where they happen to live is better,
than all other spots Of earth. In the.
same way they think that "my party"

Glass; ia just a little bit superior to,
any other party, church, state or class.
This is only egotism projected to OUT
ward things. It Is natural, since We
are humanity attached to our own. Yet

widens ..oour own" increases in dimen-
sions and numbers until It takes in the
whole of Gods, earth and all of his.

They will understand my cherished

Of them has his cherished and inner

1t will be heard and believed as sin
cerely as It is uttered.
It is a simple thing, this gem with

secret treasure, never to be avowed,
but to be lived-simple and yet great

could throw about me! When every
thing else has gone It has remained. It
has been a motive and a goal,.a song
in the heart and a prayer. Other
things have come and passed, expand.

same or, If varying at oil, only in its
outlet and expression. Here is the Sc
cret:

the love Of the Father, the kingdom of
God on earth, l say with greater sin
cerity than l v said anything In my
life, and l have always tried to be sin
cere-to do this I would die a thou
sand deaths or, harder yet. would live
thousand lives. Men-all men-must

This they will do because God reigns
and is in them. 1t is because he is in
them that I love them. Their only per-
manent reality is~his spirit. 1t is their
destiny to express this divinity that is
reflected in themselves. They will do
it because they want to do it-every
one of them wants to do 1t. Deep in
their hearts they r infinitely better

to themselves. l speak for the dignity

No Electric Chair Yet.

The electric chair, in which all
persons sentenced to death in this
State are to be electrocuted, has not
arrived at the penitentiary. Plans
were made for installing the chair in
August, but there has been some un-
explained delay in getting it here.
William Morrison, the negro rapist
from Robson County was to have
paid the death penalty on September
10th, but he was reprieved to October
18th, next Friday, in order that the
authorities might have plenty of time
to get everything in readiness for the
electrocution. The electric chair has
not arrived yet and it will be neces-
sary for the Governor to again re-
prieve the prisoner.
