What is Elko going to do in the way
of an exhibition AT the Yukon-Alaska
exposition. 1t will hardly do to allow
little counties like Ormsby to make u
big showing and not have Elko properly
represented. AS the largest and richest
county in the state it is up to us to
have the biggest and best exhibit. 1t
will never do to allow the visitors to the
Nevada exhibition mt Seattle to leave
without being enlightened rs to our re.
sources and without an invitation to
visit, investigate and locate. 1t will
not bc expensive to make II crcditablc
showing :and it is a duty we owe our

IIBERAL MoyEMENr GROWING.
But It Is Not Confined to Any Single
church--Rev. c. ]. Staples.

The regular monthly banquet OF the
laymen's leagie of the Dniversaiist
church sas heid last evening ia the ves-
try and was attended hy 45 members
Of the league An excellent supper was
served at $50 o'clock by the Ladies'
Union. after which the Rev. Charles J.
Staples, pastor Of the Unitarian church
I In Burlington, gave an especially inter-
esting sixty minute address on the
Liberal Faith
In beginning he said that members OF
4 family should be better known 10
each other socially than they are. Birds
of a feather aock together to the ex-
clusion Of other birds. Men like to
have around them people who think as
they do but that Is not necessary in
the liberal sense. The lines Of churches
used To be drawn 50 tight that tho OPP
portunity to learn how much alike we
AN are was lost, but the influence Of the
liberal faith and of Iiberal-minded men
is beginning to change those conditions.
We as UniYersalists perhaps like to be
called men of liberal faith, but we are
not liberal to the exclusion Of the 9TH
er churches. In these days there are
liberal men in all the churches. There
can be no monopoly Of the liberal sense
The liberal movement has offered the
whole western world and has opened up
the lives Of the people to the advance
ment Of all mankind.
There are four characteristics of lib
eral church; honesty. progressiveness,
hopefnlness and reverence. ANY COM
munion that omits any one of these
characteristics Is weakened lust so
much There Is a kind of honesty that
Is without the expression Of religion but
there is no religion without honesty. /
The law Of religion is the law Of sim
cerity.
IL is fact that the world does not
progress at the same rate oil the time,
but the liberal faith is progressive
ness that is making progress morally |
in the world II seems To me that a |
man who has not feeling Of reverence
for life cannot realize what it means to
be alive. The mere fact that he is alive I
should appeal to him and make him I
bow down We know nothing Of what I
is coming out Of the world but there
is no man that does not have some hope /
or that has not cherished something as
To the future life. The liberal note is 4
the only note that can give us any /
hope ! ask you to bow down in hever-
hope ask you to bow down in rever-
we need in America Il a revival Of the /
liberal faith not the revival Of any T
mans opinion but an actual living faith. I
There Is coming in America a crisis in
life itself The life of a nation il
faith and the only faith that can help
America is a real faith; faith that has
a future before it.
At the close Of the address two new
were voted IN to the league A
committee Of three was appointed BY
the president to bring in a list Of names
to be voted on for officers Of the league

nittee Il a. G Fay, o. K. Hollister and
