called and received his cordial hand.

his appreciation to Mr.. Giles, and
there was no doubling the sincerity

The affair was quite informal, and
Mr.. Underwood entered readily into
conversation with his callers concern

fused to express opinions regarding
the Mexican situation and the tolls
repeal question, saying that he wished
to say nothing that might in the least
complicate the administration.

WITTY DO WE HAVE BoDIEsg.

Why do we have bodies? Why are
we not pure, unsubstantial spirits?
We are clothed in bodies in order
that we may come into harmony with
nature.
Our bodies are the link between us
and the universe
Through them we are brought into
subjeetion to, the, laws that govern
planets and trees. We become broth
ers to the animals, cousins to the flow
ers- We are bound in the same bum
die of relationship with stores, noun
tains and seas.
The fire that consumes wood de-
stroys us. The wind that raises the
waves and uproots oaks smites us.
The sun that undoes the morning glo-
ry opens also our petals of cheer.
If we are but spirits we should wan
der as waits in a world we could new
er realize. We should have no kin
ship of suffering and of beauty with
our fellow creatures.
Through our bodies comes also hui
man communion. When we eat and
drink together that is the holy sacra-
ment of unity. When we live, the
soul awakens
We say that we see, hear, smell,
taste and touch. 1t is our bodies that

know, nor even imagine, how naked
soul could perform them. A soul with
out body would be isolated.
What the spirits of men do else.
where we can only surmise, but let
us be thankful that upon this sphere
they inhabit living organisms; for
thus is revealed to them the overpow-
ering glory of light, the majesty OF
the stars, the appeal of green herb
age, of calling birds, and of all else
in this goodly frame of things.
Spirit may possibly speak to spirit
without using material media, but II
is at our present state of knowledge
hardly to be understood. What we 90
know is that my soul can reach yours
through your eye by my frown, nod OF
laughter; through your ear by the
sound of my lips.
So the soul is put into body that
1t may become part of the Oneness
OF Things. may find its place in the
All, may learn Form and Order, may
grow into consciousness of itself, Of
other souls and of nature.
1t must have body, even as the
Infinite must have its expression IN
the finite.-Dr Frank Crane.

OUR COUNTRY

One, who reads the following will
know fiat impassfoned eloquence still
lives, aad WHEN occasion offers it is
there to- tell tEe story.
Said Newton Booth in the United
States senate:
What is our country? Not alone
the land and tie sea, the lakes and
rive1s and valleys and mountains
not alone the people, their customs
and Jaws; not alone the memories
of the past, the hopes of the future
it is something more than all these
combined 1t is divine abstraction.
You cannot tell what it Is, but let its
flag rustic above your head, YOU feel
its living presence in your hearts.
They tell us that our country must
die, that the sun ana stars will look
down upon the great republic no
more; that already the black eagles
of despotism are gathering in our POI
Iiticaf sky. Thai even now kings and
emperors are casting lots for the gar
ments of our national glory. 1t shall
not be. Not yet. Not yet shall the
rations lay the bleeding corpse of our
country in the tomb. If they could,
angels would roll the stone from the
rauurh of tie sepu1cher: It would
burst the cerements of the grave and
come forth a living presence, ''re-
deemed, regeuerated, disenthralled"
Not yet, net yet, shall the republic
de-. The heavens are not darkened,
tlTs stones are not rent. 1t shall live!
1t shall live the incarnation of free
dom; it shall live the embodiment Of
thss power and majesty OF the people.
Baptized anew, it shall stand thou
sand years to come. Colossus of ma
tions; its feet upon the continents;
it's scepter over the, seas; its forehead
