Souaht TO Avoid Clash.

indianapolis, Ind, April 2S.--With
the hope of reconcilng the opposing
factions among the delegates to the
Democratic state convention on the
question of endorsing candidate for
the United States senate, party lead
ers worked hard yesterday striving to
arrive at a compromise and prevent
the fight being carried into the con
vention which opened yesterday after
noon.
Among the delegates there was
considerable sentiment that both the
plan OF Governor Marshall who IA.
vors the convention endorsing a can
didate, and the plan OF Thomas Tag
gait for a statewide primary to select
candidate, should be defeated and
that the matter should be left TO the
legislative caucus. Some, however,
are willing that a special convention
should be called for the purpose.

THE WAYSIDE WELL
nv THE REV. n. G. COLLINS,

The great note of true religion Is it,
profound morality. God, as He has
revealed Himself In Scripture and In
the cross, Is above all holy God. Ho
requires OF all His worshippers that
they should keep His commandments.
1t Is to the conscience that He ad-
dresses Himself, and 1t Is through the
conscience that He mostly manifests
Himself. The holy mountain is the
Mount Of Duty. and IL is by the path
of holy love that we must ascend
II. Works OF love- said the mystic
Tauler, ARE more pleasing to God
than great contemplativeness. IL thou
art in spiritual devotion, and God
sends thee to go out to preach or
to serve a sick brother. God will be
more present TO thee than II thou
remainest In secret contemplation.
The ascent of Zion is a common path.
1t is not a private way for specially
gifted souls. II is the road OF common
duties faithfully done, common charity
freely exercised; a road that way
faring men and fools can walk in
without straying. for 1t begins at each
mans door.
1t Is because the ascent of Zion II
the way of holy and loving conducts
because the souls fellowship with
God Is conditioned by Its fidelity. that
we need no extraordinary charism, but
simply the guidance and help which
God has promised to all who ask. He
sends out His light and truth, His
iovingkindness and His faithfulness.
like two tall angels to keep and to
guide us in that common way that
leads us to Himself. Even for ordi~
nary obedience, and though the road
Is before us, we are insufficient In ours
selves. Unless our duties are done IN
the love Of God. and our righteous
ness Is the derived Righteousness Of
those who depend on Him from mo-
ment to moment. they will not lit M

THE Ascent OLE ZION.

~
ooh send out thy light and thy
truth; let them lead me. let them bring
me unto thy holy HILL and to thy tab
ernacles-"--Ps. XLifI. 3.
God dwelleth stiu in His holy noun
tain, and they who would have fell
lowship with Him, must make the
steep ascent. IT Is true that there
are moments in the Christian life, rare
and unannounced, when sudden
glory enfolds the soul and all things
grow beautiful with God. For ouL
uplift and encouragement God VIII
flash Himself upon us. and make some
common experience las a paved work
OF sapphire stone, and as it were the
very heaven for clearness- But even
for these gracious visitations there
must be the prepared heart. Ii IL only
TO the man who habitually waits upon
the Lord that they come. 1t is al
ways in the path of obedience that
God makes His appearing. And what
Is true Of these splendid visions is true
of all communion with God. 1t Is i'm
possible without obedience. The hill
of Zion, UP which the soul must climb
TO behold the Lord. Is a holy hill. and
the ascent Is never made except by
those who do the will Of God.
There is a constant temptation in
the spiritual life to forget that, in
true religion, conduct and devotion are
inseparabie. 1t is not that religion Is
the same thing as conduct. In ancient
times, as in heather lands to-day, re-
ligion and ethics were divorced and
disparate, In many a prophetic de-
nunciation in Scripture, We have de-
scriptions of religion which was pas
sionately sincere, but which was utter
ly devoid of that moral purity and ear
nestness which the Lord required OF
His people. And IL is not infrequent
even to-day to meet men and womer
whose religious feelings are yer,
strong. but whose moral sensibilitie'
are decidedly weak. Wherever this Ii
the case there Is great danger OF soull
being self-deceived. and mistakinl
mere emotion for spiritual vision. ant

/ munion with God. 1t is only too pos
( sible to cultivate spurious piety, ant
