PEOPLE OF MANY CREEDS.

Nearly all the Great Religions Represented at Chicago. Christians ar.d Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Brahmans and followers of about every religious creed in the civilized world* met in one grand assembly in the Chicago Art Palace Monday morning for the first time in the history of the world. Time and again the greatest audience which has ever packed the Art Palace thundered its approval of the spirit of toleration and liberality which made possible the parliament of the religions of the world. The darkskinned sectarians of the Oriental countries in their white and yellow robes and turbans sat side by side with the dark-gowned and hatted prelates of the Greek Church and a red cloaked and capped cardinal of the Church of Rome. Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists,-CampbeHites and Unitarians laid by their differences on baptism, eternal punishment, forordination and the vicarious atonement and joined hands with the followers of Confueius, Mahomet, Buddha and those of every sect. Nor was woman forgotten. She was given such recognition as would have been impossible a few decades ago. Long befere the hour for the opening of the session Columbus Hall was crowed with such an audience as was never within its doors before. Up stairs and down the aisles were filled with people and the passageways around the seats were packed with people five deep. Archbishop Feehan, the Rev. John H. Barrows, President Higinbotham and others delivered addresses of welcome and responses, and addresses to the occasion were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons; Archbishop Redwood, of New Zealand; Count A. Bernstorff, Berlin: the Most Rev. Dionysius Latas, Archbishop of Zante, Greece: Carl von Bergen. Sweden; Prof! C. N. Charkarar, H. Dharmapala and P. C. Mozoomdar, India: the Hon. Pung Quang Yu, China; Principal Grant, Canada; Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant, Rabbi E. G. Hirsch, Bishop B. W. Arnett, Miss Jeanne Serabji. Khersidji Laurasava, Bombay; and Mrs. Chapin. «
