he alluded to the broader charity
that had grown ur in the churche5
of recent years in respect to ques-
tions OF orthodoxy. There was a
time when Presbyterian was not
wanted in a Methodist gathering.
and vice versa. and when the doc
trines OF n Baptist were obnoxious to
both of them. All Of this has now
passed away ana there is a fratsr-
nifty among men Of all credes engag-
ed in religious work. The new era
has ushered in q unity OF purpose
among those engaged in lifting man
kind to a higher plane OF existence
by pointing to the stainless life ~

'Tis evening In the Fatheriand;
The Sunsets soI den glow
Lights up the gloomy praehenfeIs
And sIIds the Rhine. below.
A mother takes her sleepy child
And carries him along
To where his earven cradle stands,
Then eroons DER him this song;
"sehIaf wohi, men Kind. sehIsf wohI."
The years glide swiftly. gladly on;
The boy to m,nhood grows,
And fares forth with his eountrymen
To fight his eountry's foes.

That night the bier. beside.
Tire mother stiIle5 her ansuishsd sobs,
And softly. sweety cried:
