Exposition in the history Of the

the world famous inventor, said
Of the Exposition that it was the

every one should see it. When
asked what he considered the
most interesting aspect Of the
Exposition Mr.. Edison said:
1.-THE Exposition is a composite
wonder and no two men will
have the same estimate Of it.
The triumphs Of science on ex-
hibit, however, are the most
significant note of the EXPOSE

MIGHTY POWER or LOVE
Great Truth IN Words Which Elmer

Having Spoken.

Vt was Emerson who said, AN ac-
ceptance of the sentiment of love
throughout Christendom for q season
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears, with the devotion
OF his faculties to our service. Love
would ut new face on this weary
old world. In which we dwell as pa
gans and enemies too long. and 1t
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen. the
impotence of armies and navies and
lineg Of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted,
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans.
ard directing their action, by a calcu-
lation of chances which. OF course,
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civili-
cation, but the things of commerce
and OF calculation perish. while the
sentiment of love endures, because II
is OF God. and being OF God, is sure
in the end to triumph. -Universalist
