SERMON AND A MEMORY.

lang q 20 she had been sweet and
fresh and girlish with the vision OF life
which the good Lord vouchsafes to
rnaidenhood. She had her lover and
her dream. She had an invalid mother
and knelt in her Gethsenane in the
struggle and tears of mighty sacri-
fee where duty rose triumphant above
desire. And so she grew old as her
mother grew feeble and when, at last
the mother slipped from long days OF
main to the restfulness OF the long
night the girl had become tired
woman and the dream had faded for
ever. And so she lived, helpful. tender

splendid impulses Of womanhooe

Senator La Toilette made a pilgrimage
to Baltimore yesterday afternoon. and
attended part Of the session Of the Dem
ocratic convention.
Regarding what happened there. and
his own position in the present tangled
state Of national politics, the Senator re-
fused TO say one single word. The Sen
atOr did not confer with Mr.. Bryan. as
it has been reported he would do, but, on
the other hand, the Wisconsin prOgres-
sive declined to admit or deny that he
is to have a conference with the Com
mOner regarding the formation OF
fourth party. in case Bryan Is defeated
in the convention all along the line
Senator La Toilette Is known to be
somewhat IN sympathy with Bryan, and
this feeling has given some show Of sub
stance to the reports OF a possible union
OF forces. Last night. however, Sena-
tor La Toilette refused to adrhjt by
word that there is such a thing as ma
tIonaI politics, or that he is interested
in any phase Of the existing situation.
The Senator stated that he Is hard at
work on his book, and expects to con-
tinue unceasing labor upon il until It Is
finished. When that work is complet-
ed, the Senator intimated, there may
be an announcement of what course he

May authority be exercised without
despotism and liberty prevail without
license. May this convention demon
strate once more to the American peo-
pie and to the world at large that the
citizens Of the United States have solved
the problem of self-government by ex-
ercising and tolerating broadest and
most untrammeled freedom Of discus
sion in their political assemblies, with
out dethroning reason and without in
vading the sacred and invlolable rights
of law and public order.
May the delegates assembled TO Sc
lect a candidate for chief magistrate be
ever mindful that they are sons OF the
same heavenly Father, that they are
brothers of the same National family,
that they are heirs Of the same heritage
OF freedom. and may it be their highest
ambition to transmit this precious in
heritance, unimpaired to their children
and their childrens children. May the
consciousness OF this community OF
interests Danish from their hearts all
bitterness, hatred. and Ill will, and in
spire them with sentiments Of genuine
charity. benevolence. and mutual for
bearance.
We recommend likewise TO Thy un-
bounded mercy all our brethren and fel-
low citizens throughout the United States
that they may be blessed in the knowl-
edge and sanctifed in tho Observance Of
Thy most holy law. that they may be
