The Source of All.

When we see the million rain drops
of the shower we say, with reason,
there must be one great sea from
which all these drops come. And
when we see as it were, countless
drops and countless rays OF goodness
scattered about in the world, a little
good in this man and a little good in
that, shall we not say, there must be
one great sea, me central sun of
goodness, from whence all human
goodness comes? And where can
that centre of goodness be, but in the
very character of God HIMSELF

Advisers of the Sultan Will Have

Constantinople, Turkey.-The end
OF Sultan Abdul Hands power came,
when at dawn the remnant of the
Yildiz palace garrison surrendered
Internationally. During the night
hundreds had been killed in hand-to-
hand lighting. Heavy guns had been
moved up to destroy the palace at
sunrise. Seeing that further resist
ance was hopeless the Sultan gave the
command to surrender.
Mail Bey, the ablest and most fear
less of the Turkish commanders. and
known as 1.-The Hero of the July revo-
luton" took his own command into
n palace, declared that strife was
at an end and that the fate of the
sultan would be determined by a
council of the Constitutional party.
The life of Abdul Hamid will be
protected" he announced. "His
future will be settled either by Par
Lament or by the leaders of our ma
t1onal movement"
The Sultan is said to be within the
walls of the Yildiz Kiosk, where, in
company with his ministers, he had
waited fol, the outcome of the strug-
gle between his loyal troops and the
army of investment, each hour bring
ing to him word of a fresh disas-
ter. His authority is gone forever.
Whether his fate shall be death, exile
or Imprisonment, no one now can
foretell. The chief plotters in his pal
ace are all under arrest and will prob
ably receive capital punishment.
The last garrison to surrender was
the Selimieh artillery barracks, in
Scutarf, opposite Stamboul. Four
thousand men stationed there with
100 guns threatened to blow the city
Into ruins, but General Schefket or
dered up sixty big guns and several
batteries of machine rifles to positions
which commanded the barracks, and
the cruiser Mejidieh steamed out OF
range of the field pieces and prepared
for action. The commander of the
barracks %thereupon submitted, and
the artillerymen marched out as the
troops OF the other garrisons already
v been, without arms, to await
transfer to outlying districts.
The proclaiming of martial law in
Constantinople and environs was fol-
lowed by a circular note, which was
sent to each of the foreign Ambassa-
