This is the statement:
The divorce Judgment Wnich mas
been filed was not caused by any quar-
rels or disagreement. We remain per-
fectly good friends and expect to re-
main so despite the divorce.
"--he financial arrangements we're
matter of private agreement, and the

right of visitation to the father.
The princess intends to divide her
time between this country and Europe.

I'VE emphatically deny the divorce
was caused by wish on the part OF
either of us to remarry. Any rumors

The Book Stores requests for books written about

were in regular stock when a bright-eyed lad of

However, we offered to secure GUMS AND

when God wants to carry a point
with His children He plants His argu-
ments in mans instincts" This was
Emerson's answer to the query, eff a
man die, shall he live again?" Marti-
neau puts it in another way: 1--WE do
not believe in immortality because We
can prove it, but we try to prove 1t be-
cause we cannot help believing It,"
On the last evening that the Master
foregathered with His disciples, 1mme-
diately preceding the day Of His cruci-
fixion, He talked with them in q more
intimate way concerning vital questions
that He had hitherto not discussed. He
took the opportunity of summing up
many of His teachings and sought to
answer queries that had hitherto gone
unrecognized. In only few instances
did He speak Of the great question con-
cerning mans immortality. He stressed
the Importance of mans so living here
that be might fit himself for an endless
existence. There Is probably no single
word that came from His lips that has
been more universally studied and loved
than that which Is contained IN the
fourteenth chapter Of st. Johns Gospel.
It is safe to say that this chapter con-
stitutes in itself more of comfort and
assurance than any word He uttered
It is full of tender solicitude and it
touches vitality the deepest yearnings
and aspirations Of the human heart.
Realizing that He was about to be part
ed from His disciples, He sought to
bring to them a message that would be
their stay and assurance. Bewtldered
and amazed by His declaration that He
was to go from them, they yearned to
know something of the future that was
veiled to their vision Most Of His dis
ciples doubtless Ielt that the end of His
career was illogical and that the great
purpose of His ministry was ending in
tragic failure. It was to body Of men
thus confused and distracted that He
spoke the tender words, "Ye believe in
God, believe also in Me-" In My Fa-
theirs house are many abodes." Then

Among many 1ovable traits OF char

DR.. wallace Radcliffe to the thousands
who knew him. His strong convictions
and his fearless and outspoken advocacy
Of the things he believed in were coupled
with an unusually keen intellect, bur-
nished by q scholarly attainment that
set him beyond and apart from the
crowd. A commanding figure in the
church to which he devoted a fruitful
life, he became as well an outstanding
man in the community he served for
so many years. In the nearly three
decades Of his active pastorate OF the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
and in the years since his retirement,
his leadership was established and
always valued, so that now his loss Is
confined neither to his church nor to
the wide circle that enjoyed his intimate
friendship. The sympathy of the COM

devoted service in her husbands work

communication systems OF today lay
1$r ahead on the horizon.
During the century that has elapsed
since 1880 there has taken place, with
incredible rapidity, q great mechanical
and social revolution. PHILOSOPHERS and
traditions have crashed before 1t. The
concepts in which the population Of
1880 thought have become more and
more unreal as experience has speeded
away from them.
1t hardly could have been expected
that there would be an automatic, per-
feet adjustment Of Christianity to this
new age. Science has gone far in un-
dermining the validity of some of the
symbols with which its doctrines were
stated. 1t has been subjected to fierce
attacks, usually from persons with a
superficial understanding Of both science
and Christianity.
Has it emerged triumphant from the
confusion Of the transition? This is
the question of the Pentecost of 1880.
Any fair consideration can bring only
an affirmative answer. It contained
truths dependent Of the concepts and
symbols in which they were stated
truth which has brilliantly restated
itself in terms Of the new age. This
1900th anniversary Of Pentecost finds
the religion Of the Sermon on the
Mount with the worst difficulties which
1t met in this century Of change sur
mounted.
There are still major conflicts within
the body Of Christendom, but the most
significant of them seem to cut across
sectarian lines. They are conflicts be-
tween the old age and the new over the
validity Of symbols-not over the truth
of the essential doctrines which Chris
tianity brought into the world and has
applied continuously since the begin
ming to the vexing problems Of living
Mans fears, aspirations and yearnings
have not changed since the first Pente-
cost. The mystery Of life and death
have not changed. Only words and OBJ
jects have changed. Christianity Is
greater than words and objects.

deeply intimate in this statement. He
would seem to say: "Of course, you
must have no doubts concerning the
future; am to prepare place for you,
and If I go to prepare place for you,
I will come again and receive you unto
myself. You have wondered concerning
the future life; you have felt uncertain
as to what lies beyond the grave.
while L have said little to you con-
cerning this vital matter, you must
have realized that 1t was all embodied
in what I have hitherto said, If it were
not so, would have told you" There
are some things that are so obvious
that they do not have to be spoken. AS
q matter Of fact, some Of the finest and
deepest of our emotions refuse to ar
ticulate themselves. We are frequently
incapable of giving expression to that
which lies nearest to the heart. We
readily assume that those we love know
without our telling them of the depth
cerning them. The silences Of Jesus
are as significant and revealing as
many of His utteranceS. The 1mplica-
tions Of His discourses have profound
Significance. His whole ministry was
an attempt to teach not only the art OF
living, but its logical design and pur-
pose. His theme was life, life in its
fullneSs. He tried TO show always tnat
life was designed for higher things,
that its fullhllment was more than the
attainment of mere desire, the gratifi-
cation of ambition or the acquisition OF
things that perish. His whole teaching
implies that life must go on to higher
and finer existence. While He does not
state in definite terms the nature OF
the new life, He urges with inSiStence
it's reality, If this were not so, He would
have told us. We cannot imagine an
expression more full of deep tenderness
and Solicitude or one more calculated
to ease the strain and longing that
comes to one and all of us in days OF
separation than this sublime word Of
the Master.

ness
And call our loved ones Ger and DER.
Some day their arms will close about us
And the old voices speak once more. "

entering shipments before the new
duties are applied.
Thus the passage of the bill will re-
lease large quantities of goods held in
warehouses and will make 1t possible
for purchasers, willing to buy but hesi-
tant to do so until the duties are set
tied, to complete their programs. This,
1t Is felt, will increase foreign trade.
There are almost as many opinions as
there are schedules as to what indus
tries and commodities are helped or
hurt by the measure, but at least its
passage will settle uncertainty and al
low business which has been checked
for months to proceed on a definite
basis.
The effect of the tariff on foreign
countries and foreign markets has not
yet been fully measured. Naturally
some animosity has been created by the
bill. But how much of this Is due to
business and how much to the use Of
the measure for political effect abroad
remains to be seen. Similarly, foreign
countries cannot be sure how they viii
be affected until the new duties are
actually In operation.

The Christian church today is 1900

The Pentecost of 1880 seems Of more
than ordinary significance because Of

The last centennial came when the

1t had been when the church was es-
