and the nations of the earth become
ale kingdom OF God and OF His
Christ.
The inspiration Of victorious Chris
tianity lies not in the hope OF rescuine
ones self and others from al impend-
ing cataclysm, but in the joyful de-
votion of ones self to the task OF help
ing to create for today and for the
future an order of things in which
Gods will shall be supreme and mu-
tual love shall govern in all human
relations.
Instead OF waiting for the day OF
the Lord as an event which is to come
cut OF the Clouds Christians increas-
ingly find inspiration to strenuous en-
dcavor in the thought that working
with God in an age-long process, they
may not only achieve something for
their own day, but make some con,
tribution, be it ever SO small, toward
The realization Of that ultimate ideal to-
ward which God is continually guiding
the race"

THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS.

Cardinal Gibbons, who is now in
Montreal. says the chances for the
next place OF meeting Of the Eucharistic
Congress point favorably to the City
of Mexico
He spoke yesterday with satisfaction
OF the progress which the Catholic
church is making in the United
States.
I'VE have now 100000 Catholics
in the states" he said, and our num-
bers are rapidly increasing all the time.
This is to be attributed to three causes
to the great immigration from Catho-
lie countries, to the accretion due to
the natural increase Of the population
and to conversions.
we are continuously winning
people to our fold, while our only
leakage is that which occurs in the
more scattered districts of our country.
while there is a paucity OF priests and
of churches"
With regard to the relations Of church
and state in the United States, the car
dinal said the Catholic church could ask
no better conditions.
1--WE are like you in Canada" he
remarked. Every man is going to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own heart, without interference
from anybody. As far rs the state
is concerned, all are on an equality,
and the Catholic church asks nothing
more.
AS for the annihilation of the sim
ners and the reorganization OF society
on 4 different basis, the Biblical World
dismisses them without honorable
mention. The horrors OF the Rcve,
lation and the fiery prophecies OF the
Gospels are declared to be miSinter-
preted when applied to a convulsior
such as has been predicted.
The author of the article, who
shields his identity under the author.
ity OF the Is editors of the, Biblical
World, intimates that the writers o'
the New Testament were not above
inserting scary passages in the Scrip,
lures simply to boost their own ms
guided opinions. Chrst's sayings are
distorted and falsely attributed, it !:
alleged.
Our hope is set not on kingdom
OF God to be ushered in by personal
visible coming OF the king in the
clouds, an overthrowing OF all human
institutions, and the establishing o.
new heavens and a new earth, bu
on the ever larger and fuller develop
ment OF the kingdom of God that i
now on earth," says the editoria
writer.
1--WE are preaching the gospel no

WOMAN BArHER,s PREDlCAMENT

Capt. James Fitzgerald was giving q
swimming lesson at Alton, ILL.,, yester-
day, when jumping bullfrog put him
up against a problem which stumped
him. He had woman on the end OF
line teaching her how to swim. A
bullfrog sat in crevice at the edge OF
the pool and. watched the proceedings
with interest. Zone, two, three, +"
chanted Captain Fitzgerald; and just as
he said three" boy running by on
the brink of the pool startled the frog
and he leapcd wildly into the pool.
The woman wore low cut bathing
suit, Il trihc loose at the neck. The
frog landed ms ide and both tried to get
out. While Fitzgerald hesitated and
stammered, another woman swan to
the one in need OF help, reached inside
Of her bathing suit and caught the frog
and withdrew it and thereby earned
the gratitude OF the wohan-and the
frog.

WOMAN KILLS HER HUSBAND.

Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Hudson, wife

resident OF Salisbury, shot and almost
instantly killed her husband in the Of
fees of States Attorney Joseph L.
Bailey, at Salisbury yesterday, where
the pair had met to effect reconcllla.
ton.
The story leading up to the crime
dates back II years, during which, ac-
cording to the statement Of Mrs. Hud-
son, she has lived aud suffered with
this man rs her husband, but, so far as
Salisbury is concerned, it dates back to
Wednesday last, when Mrs. Hudson
appeared upon the scene and swore out
warrant before Justice Trader against
Hudson for non-support and desertlon.
He was held under $3.50 bail for his ap-
pearance before the justice on or before
September 81, if, in the meantime, he
he'd not taken up his duties as husband
and supported his wife.
He paid the fine in cash. 1t was Ee-
lieved that this was the end Of the nat
ter, as Hudson had agreed to return to
his former home in Cambridge as SC on
as he had finished his business in Sails
bury. This satisfied the wife, bul the
climax came, as it now appears II urs-
day night when she heard that he was
arranging to leave Salisbury with the
woman he has lived with in the latter
place for the past three months, the
woman that was indirectly responsible
for the murder yesterday.
Hudson had dlbeen in Salisbury for the
past three months, and had caused con-
siderable talk on account Of his con-
ncction with the other woman. She
has been married three times, being
divorced from her former husbands.
She left her second husband with a
baby not over , months old to live
with Hudson, and after her husband
had secured divorccshe married Hud-
son. She has three children by her for
mcr husband.
