; pie should look for guidance On
such questions. There is a popu.
lar impression that an astrono.
mer ought to know, or at least
has better opportunities than
others enjoy for learning some.
thing about heaven and the fu-
tufe. But as Sir Humphrey Gil
bert cried out from his sinking
by sea as by land" so the astron-
omer knows that his thoughts
are no nearer to heaven when
fixed on a star than when he is
reading a graduated circle on his
telescope.
What the astronomer, however,
can do is to assure his fellow be-
ings that God has infinitely
vaster things than the earth to
care for, and that we could make
no greater exhibition Of folly
than we do when we seek to
measure His power or to analyze
His purposes by our petty ter
restrial standards. either physi-
cal or moral. Perhaps because
the windows Of his mind are
opened toward the universe, the
astronomer is less apt than
some other students Of nature
and science to conceive a false
idea Of the capability Of man to
find out everything, even includ.
ing the secret OF his origin and
destiny, by ,delving in the narrow
field OF physics and chemistry,
as they have been developed
within our limitations.
Limits of Science.
The field Of science is that In
which sensible evidence leads to
conclusions verifiable by the
senses. But the senses are mere
bodily attributes which to our
certain knowledge are very i'm.
perfect, and capable of giving
but fragmentary views even of
the physical world around us.
The field Of religion Is the field
OF faith, and 1t is a weakness on
our part when we seek or hone
to strengthen our faith by en-.
couragement from science. Faith
sometimes reacts even upon the
physical world-the world that
belongs to science-but when the
subject Of faith is an abstract
question, like that Of immortality,
no light can be added to its
illumination from the amp of
science, which does not burn In
that air.

N ECAUSE human immortal
ity seems to me to be
~ desirable but improved, I
looked forward with considerable
eagerness to an address deliv-
cred on the subject Of immortal
ity in st. Georges Church, New
York, on January 20, by Profess
sor Henry N. Russell, Of the
Princeton Observatory, one Of
the foremost of living astrono-
mers and a man of great mental
versatility as well as depth. I
be able to point out some new
way to approach the problem Of
proving immortality to be a logi-
cal necessity, starting from the
basis Of verified facts.
OF course, considering the his
tory OF this subject, my expecta-
ton, however faint, was foolish;
but whatever one earnestly de-
sireg keeps bobbing up, like an
imperishable hope, in his mind,
no matter how often or how de-
cisively 1t may be put down or
brushed aside. If money could
have bought It, and II I had pos
sessed the price. would have
paid q prodigious sum to be
shown how to demonstrate by
scientific reasoning the existence
Of mans immortal soul.
But It appears that Professor
Russell had no idea Of trying to
remodel Paley's method Of prov
ing from the facts Of nature the
existence Of God, or Of substitut-
ing some other or better method
for Paley's while making the
question turn upon human Inn
mortality instead Of upon the
Creator.
Faith Sole Basis.
On the contrary. he left the
belief in immortality just where
Il has always rested, viz, on the
sole ground Of faith, or intuition.

FAD" IN NEWSPAPER UNiTES WOMAN WITH HER PARENT
 SHE HADN'T SEEN 40 YEARS

PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 12.-As the result of a dream, a lapse of more than forty years was spanned and Mrs. Janet Miller, of this city is reunited with her father, whom she had not seen since she was six years old. She long had believed him to be dead
 After dreaming of seeing her fla ther alive few days ago, Mrs. Miller inserted an advertisement in a newspaper asking information re garding her father, who, she said in the notice was sea captain and had a name that sounded like McKiltop. She was a child when she last saw her father in Brooklyn. She had been brought up in the Brooklyn home of the late Henry Ward Beecher, she said.
 Meanwhile, John Rosenthal, Of Springfield, L. l., had in his em- ploy watchman named Hector Win chester, who had often spoken to him of a lost daughter. Winches- ter said that his wife had died about 1880 and he had placed his daughter in the care of a noted Beecher, being poor and unable to care for her and carry on his work at a flour mill on the waterfront, where he had been employed.
 hostnthal made several efforts 10 help his watchman find the miss ing daughter. When Mrs. Milier's advertisement appeared, he showed it to Winchester, but the later, af ter reading about "'McKiltop, the sea captain" refused to consider the matter any further. Rosenthal, how eyer was not satisfied and com municated with Mrs. Miller and even tually brought about a meeting that established the relationship.
 Mrs. Miller explained her idea of her father being a sea captain from the impression she had receiy- ed of ships on the waterfront when her father used to leave for work in the morning. Winchester corrob- orated this. The age at which the girl was placed in the Beecher home, the description of the waterfront given by Winchester and Mrs. Miller dovetailed so closely that no doubt now remains in the mind of either.

GERMAN PROHlBITiONISTS ARE
 SEEKING HELP FROM CHURCHES

BUECKEBURG, Germany, Nov 12 -"Every nation has it's special de- vii, and the German people has the drinking devil" said Dr. F. o. Melle, Of Frankfurt, at a congress of the German League for Prohibition held here recently. Only the influence of true Christianity can save the German nation from this devil, in the opinion of Dr. Melle.
 The detrimental effect of alcohol on the German people was illustrat- ed by figures given by Dr. Strecker, president of the league, who pointed out that three and half billion marks are consumed annually in Germany by drinking. Altogether the damage done by alcohol to the people may be figured at six bill lion marks, according to pr. Steck- CT, who added: Clever Americans knew what they could achieve by prohibitions; sober and dry nations will be tie future leaders of civiliza- tion
 George Michaelis, one time chan cellor referred to the connection of alcoholism with sexual eXcesses, con tending that the church could con tribute greatly to the wiping out of alcoholism, which is mainly mat ter of education.
 The Protestant church of Ger many has failed utterly 50 far, in asmuch as it did not make the al cohol question an issue of it's own, 7 said Herr von Wicht, a parson from Bielefeld. He added that new hopes in this direction might be harbored since the separation of church and state.
