Reality Of the Spirit.

from lie C4useur
The dead are alive-far more than we
are. "Spooks" are only the invention Of
impostors who seek to deceive supersti-
tious fools. But spirits are no dream, no
fantasy. no unreality. Beyond the ken
Of science. with its dim lantern which
only permits 1t to see the microscopic
forms Of animal life. the spiritual rabides,
persists and encompasses all things, out
living the decay Of matter. sustained by
the atmosphere OF immortality. Every
man feels In the depths of his personality
that he IL q spirit. Whether this spirit
shall walk the earth when 1t has escaped
Its mortal frame or shall never behold
II again. what does It matter? The free
soul scorns naturalization. It Is the
shackled millions that wear out their
lives In the letters OF the flesh who are
the real ghosts. for they haunt each other
with their fears, their morbid appetites,
their follies. There are many, many
ghosts OF the living-and they are far
more gruesome. far moro horrible than
the dead ever could be. IL We fx our
case on the far hofison. II we realise
that this world il not our home. We shall
see no ghosts, but by the force Of faith
and imagination We may commune with
splrits-we may hail them across the gulf
that lies between NE and eternity.

on Judicial Decisions.

CHICAGO. April 27.-Chief Justice Or
rim N. Carter OF the supreme court OF
Illinois, in his address at the annual
meeting of the State Bar Association to-
night, affirmed the proprety OF courts
passing on the validity Of legislation and
opposed any inroads on the authority OF
courts as they now stand. 'The courts
and unconstitutional law" was the title
Of his address.
THE very purpose Of q written consti-
tuition Is to guard against hurried deci-
sions as to the rights OF O few over tho
many" he said. Our forefathers. in
setting down In bills OF rights and writ
ten constitutions the fundamental prin~
ciples OF justice were not attempting tn
thwart the viii Of the people. but were
trying to prevent q decision OF questions
by mere within or caprice.
"The belief that courts cannot be
made sufficiently progressive without
removing the restraints Of the Con-
stitution Is born OF impatience and
haste"

ter spoke concluded the meeting OF
