PARIS, July 21.-It ie not believed
that President Fallieres will succeed
today In choosing premier to replace
Clemenceau who resigned last
night. Shortly before noon Fallieres
held fifteen minute conference with
Clemenceau and later received in the
presidents senate chamber Minister of
Justice M. Brian, who is mentioned as
the man most likely to be appointed.
Despite the popular clamor in favor Of
NJ. Delcasse, Clemenceau's enemy, it is
unlikely tnat he will be named as head
of the cabinet owing to Germany's op-
position to him, because of the desire
Of the government to maintain the
good will of the Kaiser. It is believ-
ed that M. Cruppi, minister of COM
merce; M. Pichon, minister of foreign
affairs and M. Picard, minister of ma
rine, will be called to accept their old
portfolios in the new cabinet. Paris

Fooled Them

[By Warrington Dawson. |


SIAGOSOI CAMP, by horse mes.
senger to Naivasha, July 21.-Roose-
Welt was in row boat this morning,
and started on Lake Naivasha to
seek a hippo calf. He reached
shallow part, when a school Of twelve
hippos surrounded the boat. Several
dived beneath the boat and attempt-
ed to capsize it. If thrown into the
lake he would have met instant death.
The boatmen were in a panic and their
own actions added to the impact OF
the bodies of the .hippos threatened
every moment to overturn the boat.
Selling his rife, Roosevelt shot and
killed COW hippo. At the next shot
he killed bull hippo. The others
were frightened and fed 1t was some
time before he could calm the fright
ered porters and make them row the
boat alongside of the dead animals.
Roosevelt's absence so long, caused
uneasiness in the camp and party in
a launch left to hunt him, Wednes-
day morning with the launch he ap-
! peared in camp. When the launch
met Roosevelt, he insisted that they
tow tho hippos as they were too fine
to leave, which delayed the return.
4 The carcasses are the finest vet. The
4 delay in returning to camp has delay
ed the trip to Nairobi but they start
tomorrow. The hippos killed were the
largest. The boatmen said they had
4 been in many dangers but this was
their closest. call. They attributed
their escape to Rooseyelt's coolness
and splendid shooting. ).

A Profound Truth.

DR.. Gilchrist, a New Orleans Unita-
rian minister, in his Easter sermon,
said:
"The Catholic holds that Jesus comes
through the Church as an organism
which is His mystical body. He comes
in the Sacraments and by the power
of the Holy Ghost. To be cut off from
the Church is to be cut off from the
regular channel of salvation. The Ro-
man Catholic claim to the true
Christian Church is correct his
torically and biblically, for it made the
New Testament, and naturally made
it to fit the case. The Bible rests upon
the Church, and not the Church upon
the Bible.''
This is a fairly correct statemant.
The writer's of the New Testament
We're ministers of the Church Of Christ
divinely commissioned to teach all ma
tions directly and through their s,,c-
cessors in the ministry for all time.
They We're in a special manner inspir-
ed to write what they wrote The
statement of the Doctor that, "the BIZ
BILE rests upon the Church and not the
Church upon the Bible" is a profound
truth; for the Bible without inspiration
is no Bible, and the Church divinely
commissioned to teach revealed truth
is the only authoritative and conpe-
Bible. And it is solely through her
Interpretation of it that the true
meaning of Gods revealed word comes
with certainty to the mind of the indi-
vidual. He who rejects the authority
of the Church. consciously or uncon-
sciously rejects the whole scheme of
Christianity.
