loughby Walling, of Chicago, only sister of Captain English. The corridors leading to the apartments, th j staircases and grill work above the arches were hidden in a mass of foliage. Tall pedestals and Jardinieres holding beautiful palms lined the corridors on each side and foliage plants, lilacs and palms were grouped about in the corners and niches. Mrs. English and Mrs. Walling received tUe guests. Wll pockets, filled with Bridesmaid roses were hung here and there and the large French mirror was outlined In smilax, while on each side and at the base were placed foliage plants, azaleas and purple lilacs. The grill work above the entrance to the reception hall Is white in flower design, and outlined in tiny electric bulbs. In the parlors the decoration was also in pink. Between the arches was a dainty French basket of pink roses and maiden hair ferns; the mantel was banked In maiden ha.r ferns and pink roses and on the walls hung pockets filled with the flowers: the same effect was carried out in the study. In the library, which is finished In mahogany and rich velvet hangings, the punch was served. The decoration was of daffodils and Easter lilies placed about in profusion. In the dressing room American Beauty roses were used. The refreshments were served in the private bai.quet room of the hotel, the wails of which are decorated in delicate shades of green with panels of pink velour edged with gold. The furniture 13 bird's-eye maple and the floral decoration was of pink. On the opposite corners of the dain tily appointed table were wreaths of pink roses and maiden hair fern, in which were set silver candelabra, with pink tapers and shades.

FISH AND GAME LR WS

AX IMPORTANT COXFEHFACE HELD IX THE STATEIIOISE. From Suggestions Made Ex-Speaker Littleton Will Draft a Xerr Bill-Its Provisions. . All fish and game bills introduced In both house3 of the Legislature were thoroughly canvassed last night in a Joint meeting of the Senate and House committees on rights and privileges, held in Room 122 of the Statehouse, and the matter of drafting a new bill containing the best rolnts of those that have been Introduced was referred to a subcommittee. The meeting was attended by a number of prominent citizens from different parts of the State who are ardent lovers of Ashing and' hunting, and, the discussion being open to all, the most of those present availed themselves of the privilege to supply the committees with whatever knowledge they possessed on the subject. Among those who made brief talks were Frank L. Littleton, Emory B. Sellers of Monticello, J. B. Kenner and Messrs. Slack and Hawley of Huntington, John J. Hildebrandt of Logansport, Messrs. Spahr and New of this city and Senator Farks and Representatives Stout and Stookey. The subcommittee agreed on the subject matter of the rew bill and placed the matter In the hands of Mr. Littleton to draft the measure, which will be reported back to the Senate and House simultaneously early next week. The sentiment in favor of the new bill seems unanimous, and it is believed that it will meet with general approval and be passed by the Legislature with but few. If any, changes. In brief,' the new bill will provide as follows: Section 1. That It shall be unlawful to permit any dyes tuffs, coal tar, oil, refuse, limo or any other deleterious or poisonous substance to be thrown, run or drained Into any of the waters of this State in quantities sufficient to destroy the life of fish inhabiting the same. Sec. 2. The use of dynamite or other explosives in any of the waters of this State is prohibited, except for mining and mechanical purposes, and then only by license, for which the fee shall be $5. License to be obtained from the fish and game commissioner. Sec. 3. The use of spears, gigs, selns, pond nets, gill nets, dip nets or other kinds of nets or traps, or the use of Indian cockle, fish berries or any other substance which has a tendency to stupefy or poison fish is prohibited. Also prohibits the use of t-elns for taking minnows, and alsp the use of glass minnow traps. Section 5 prohibits use of trot line with mere than fifty hooics. Section 6 provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to enter upon inclosed land for the purpose of setting a trot line without getting consent of owner or lessee or tenant. Section 7 provides that it shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale or to purchase any pike, wall-eyed pike or any species of bass In the State during the months of April and May. Section 8 makes it unlawful to have in possession any sein, dip, gill, pond or other kind of net, trap or sein or any part thereof other than a minnow sein. Section 9 provides that no person shall take, catch, kill or possess more than twenty black bass in one day, and that where two per sons are angling or fishing from the same boat they shall catch, kill or possess not to exceed thirty-six black bass. Section 10 provides that in all cases of conviction of violating any of the sections of this act a fee of $20 shall be assessed as part of the costs and shall be paid to the auditor of state, to be used by the commissioner of fisheries and game In enforcing the fish and game laws. Section 11 makes It the duty of the commissioner and his deputies and the sheriffs and constables of the State to seize and destroy selns and dip. gill, set, pond or other kinds of nets, traps or selns and any gig or spear. Section 12 provides that it shall be unlawful to shoot any fish at any time. Section 13 provides that It shall be unlawful to catch or kill any fish in any of the waters of this State when such waters are partially or entirely covered with ice. Sections 14 and 15 provide for a license fee of $10 per year for nonresident fishermen. Section 16 provides that all licenses for the use of seins now in existence are revoked and for refunding license money to such persons as can prove tho instruction of their selns. Each of the sections provides penalties for violations of its provisions. It was determined that practically the only change that will be made in the game laws will be that fixing of an annual license fee of $25 for' nonresident hunters. EXTRA SESSION.

CONDITIONS IN GENERAL. The report itself is a very voluminous production, divided into many heads, exhibiting the progress made by the commission In carrying out Its plans for the Americanizkt'on of the island. A particularly Interesting section of the report, introducing the whole question of Philippine relations, deals with military and political conditions, the effect of the American elections and legislative procedure and acts. Tho commission says that examinations of many witnesses as to the form of government best adapted to these islands and satisfactory to the people show that the masses of the people are ignorant, credulous and childlike, and that under any government the electoral franchise must be much limited, because the large majority will not, for a long time, be capable of intelligently exercising it. After reviewing conditions on tho most important Islands, the report says: "Any statement of the conditions prevailing in the islands during the last six months which ignores the effect of the American election as a controlling element in the situation is necessarily inadequate. Since the result was announced there has been a great decrease in insurgent activity. Tho intensest interest was felt by the insurgents before the election In the issue, and intens? disappointment since, which will certainly effect the collapse of the insurrection in the near future. From now on conditions in these islands will grow steadily better." One of the longest chapters in the report and one of the most absorbing interest concerns the friars in the Philippines. The commission handles this subject in the greatest detail and with the utmost freedom. It gives the history of the expulsion of thfse friars from their places by the rebels and declares that the burning duestlon agitating the Filipinos is whether they shall bo permitted to teturn. The commission listened to all sides, including the archbishop of Manila, himself a friar, and the churchmen brought forward by him. Laymen, officers, newspapers correhpondents and others had their chance to testify on this subject. The commission hays that the friar was the embodiment ot all authority, governmental as well as religious. In his' locality, and not a single function of government could Le performed without his assistance and participation. As to th mooted question of the immorality of the friars, the commission says that the evidence on this point is o strong that it sterns to establish clearly that there, were enough instances In each province to give considerable ground for the general leport. That such immorality should exist among the friars, it says, is. however, not strange, in view of the fact that many of them came from the Ignorant peasantry of Andalusia and were not by training fitted to resist temptation. But Immorality among the friars, It Is held, was not the principal ground for the hostility to

ward them of the people. The commission says: "It did not shock the common peo

ple or arouse their Indignation to see their curate establish illicit relations with a woman and have children by her. Woman did not lose caste on that account, but often prided herself on the relation to the chief authority in the village. Of course, there may have been instances in which a friar used his autocratic power to establish a relation of this kind against the will of a woman and her relatives, and these cases have lent themselves to deepen the colors of the lurid and somewhat overdrawn pictures painted by the antl-friar writers." LAND OWNED BY THE FRIARS. The report shows that the total amount of land in the island owned by the Augustlnlans, the Dominicans, the Franciscans and the Recolletos Is approximately 403,000 acres, besides which they have large sums of money to loan. Most of this property has been transferred by the Dominicans to a man named Andrews, and by the Augustlns and by the Recolletos to English corporations, but the commission say these transfers are not genuine, and the friars remain the owners. It declares, however, that the United States government Is bound by treaty to protect these interests, and suggests that they be purchased for public lands out of the island revenues and by condemnation, if need.be, though the orders have expressed a willingness to sell at a satisfactory price. Regarding the return of the friars, the commission says that the deep seated hatred of the people must be reckoned with. It would be of assistance to the American cause If the Catholic Church were to substitute American priests, but this fs a question of church policy with which the commission has nothing, to do. Says the report: "It Is enough to say that the political question will be eliminated if the friars arc not sent back." Reference is made to the subject of religious exercises in schools, which has since been decided in favor of the church on the basis of the Faribault plan. The commission says: "It is not certain that this would completely meet the views of the Catholic hierarchy, but it is likely it will avoid that active hostility to a public school system which might be a formidable obstacle In spreading education among these Catholic people." The question of establishing adequate means of communication between and throughout the Islands Is deemed secondary in importance only to the primary schools as an educator of the people. The commission states that it has no authority to grant franchises for the construction of railways, and advises this government to empower it with the right, believing that the construction of a number of roads, backed by foreign capital, would ensue immediately. . The report says that all the courts are performing their regular functions, though in a provisional way. In the Supreme Court the Justices are mostly all Filipinos, and the Justices of the peace are all natives. The commission says that the Judicial salaries are miserably inadequate, and It is not surprising, therefore, that charges of bribery and corruption have arisen. The commission hopes to reorganize the Judiciary early this year, but declares that the establishment of a Federal Court is not within its Jurisdiction. The civil code is stated to be adequate for the solution of commercial controversies and the regulation of all civil conduct. FAVOR srooxEirs DILI. Federalists of the Philippine Demand It Prompt Panare. MANILA. Jan. 23. The executive committee of the Federal party has filed a petition requesting the Philippine Commission to urge upon President McKinley that the passage of the Spooner bill by Congress Is an urgent necessity, as the progress of the archipelago demands an authority which can legislate and control the incorporation of concerns, regulate mining claims, dispose of public lands and perform other functions not vested in either the military or legislative authorities. The petitioners state that the time is ripe for a general civil government, the establishment of which will win over those favoring the insurrection, while': at;, the; same time 'it will encourage the natives to subscribe In favor of a settled government in the Philippines under American sovereignty. Therefore they urge that the Spooner bill, which empowers President McKinley In his discretion to declare that the Insurrection Is ended and to establish a civil government, be passed by tho present Congress. The members of the commission, while desirous that a full quota of troops shall remain here, will recommend the passage of the Spooner bill. The officials of the Manila Chamber of Commerce and other persons express their Intention of cabling to President McKinley to the same effect. Secretary Root has advised the commission to inform Inquirers that the ports In the southern Islands will not be closed. Pettlgrerr's Resolution. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The Pettlgrew resolution directing the secretary of war to inform the Senate "whether A. Mabini, a citizen of the Philippine Islands, has been deported to Guam or any other place as a political prisoner, and if so, for what offense," together with all papers on file in i elation to the matter, reached the War Department to-day and General MacArthur was wired to report the facts by cable. It was said at the "War Department today that no report had been made to the department by General MacArthur In relation to the American editor Rice, whose deportation to the United States he (Gen. MacArthur) is said to have ordered because of alleged criticisms of the customs service at Manila. No call has been made on Gen. MacArthur for a report on that case. Tonne Bidding for Notoriety WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-In the Senate this morning Mr. Towne, offered the following Joint resolution:, "That justice, the public welfare, the national honor demand the Immediate cessation of hostilities in the Philippine islands upon terms recognizing the Independence of the Philippine people and conserving and guaranteeing the interests of the United States." Mr. Towne asked that the resolution lie on the table and gave notice that on Monday next he would address the Senate upon It. COFFIN SEALED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) adorn the throne and be no unworthy successor of the Queen. Lord Kimberiey. the Liberal leader in the House of Lords, and the Archbishop or Canterbury seconded the address The house then adjourned. In the House of Commons A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader, in moving the address in reply to the message, said the House, in Its long history, had never met under sadder circumstances or with a clearer duty to express the universal sorrow extending from end to end of the empire. The sorrow was felt, not only as a national, but as a.i Irreparable personal loss. It was hard yet to realize the magnitude of the blow which had fallen on the country. In the whole history of the British monarchy there had never been a case where the national grief had been so deeply seated. The end of an epoch has come, an epoch more crowded with important changes and great developments than any period of like length in the history of the world. The influence of the crown in the British Constitution was not a diminishing, but an Increasing factor, and must continue to continue with the growth and development of the self-governing communities over the sea which were founded by Great Britain through the person of the sovereign, who was a living symbol of the unity of the empire. This cumulative result of the great example of Queen Victoria was the greatest the world had ever seen. Her position threw upon the Queen a life of continuous labor. Short as was the Interval between her final signature of a public document and her final rest, it was yet long enough to clog the wheels of the administration, as witnessel the vast mass of untouched decouments awaiting the hand of the sovereign. In moving a double response of conaolenee and congratulation. Mr. Balfour said they all had unfailing confidence that tho great interests committed to the new sovereign were safe in his keeping. They assured him of the ungrudging support of his loyal subjects and wished him the honor of a long life and the greatest of all blessings, to reign over a contented people, and that in tho eyes of posterity his reign might fitly compare with and form an ap-

proprlate sequel to the great epoch which had Just drawn to a close. Sir Henry Campbell Dannerman, the Liberal leader, reconded the motion, which was adopted, the members standing. The House then adjourned until Feb. 14. Kins Eduard to President McKinley. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Following is the text of the reply which the President received from King Edward VII, in answer to his message of condolence on the death of the Queen: "Osborne, Jan. 21. "The President, White House, Washington:. "Am most grateful for your kind sympathy In the Irreparable loss which the Nation and I have sustained. I felt convinced that It would be shared by you and the American people. "EDWARD, R

PERSONAL AND INCIDENTAL. Intcrcstlne Items Resrard Ina; the Dead and Royal Family. Emperor William has ordered a squad ron o. German warships to proceed to Spithead and participate In the naval display on the occasion of the obsequies of Queen Victoria. The squadron will probably be composed of the coast defense battleships Hägen and Odin, the second-class cruiser Victoria Louise and a flotilla of torpedoboats will be commanded hy Prince lienry of Trussia. The Imperial German yacht Hr.henzollern. escorted by the third-class cruiser Nymphe, was signaled yesterday a Dover. The yacht will go to Cowes and the cruiser will proceed to rortsmoutn. XXX It Is believed that one of the last acts of Queen Victoria was to signify a wish that the testimonial sent by the children of Canada should be handed over to the royal patriotic commissioners for the henent or the widows and orphans of soldiers killed In South Africa. This desire was communicated to the commissioners in a letter from the Colonial Office, dated the day of her death. XXX Such numbers of royalties and representatives of foreign nations Intend to take part in the funeral ceremonies that the rcyal palaces will be inadequate to accommodate them and various hotels and great residences in London are being secured. xxx President McKinley probably will designate a representative of the United States army, one of the navy and at least one prominent civilian, to act in conjunction with Mr. Choate, In representing the government of the United States at the coronation of Klnjr Edward VII. This will be In line with the precedent established in the case of the coronation of the present Czar. The precedent calls for officers of high rank, for such an occasion. XXX Tho London Globe, reviewing American sympathy with Great Britain cn the death cf Queen Victoria, adds, referring to the refusal of Mayor Van Wyck, of New York city, to lower the flag over the City Hall: "The solitary exception to this attitude of sympathy and respect Is to be regarded as a matter of congratulation, rather than of regret. It is a high compliment that the memory of the good and pure Queen should be unsullied hy any recognition on the part of Tammany Hall and its creatures." The St. James Gazette says Mr. Van "Wyck "so grossly misrepresents the generous feelings of Americans as to refuse to show in New York official respect to the memory of Queen Victoria, which his countrymen are everywhere and by all means In their power displaying to the world." XXX According to a dispatch from Cronberg all the children of dowager Empress Frederick will attend the funeral of Queen Victoria with the exception of Princess Frederick Charles, who is enceinte. The Grand Duke of Hesse, it is believed, will go to England with Emperor Nicholas, and the duke regent and Duke Abbrecht, regent of Brunswick, is also expected to go. A delegation of the First Dragoon Guards, whose chief Victoria was, will also attend. The Saxon court has ordered a fortnight's mourning and Prince George of Saxony will be present at the obsequies. The Bavarian court will go Into mourning for three weeks. xxx Cardinal Vaughan, in the course of a very sympathetic letter to be read In the Catholic churches In London, pays an eloquent tribute to Queen Victoria, who, he says, was "An object of the greatest reverence on the part of all Catholics from the Pope downward. We fully and acutely share in the national sorrow," continues the Cardinal, "and trust and pray that the noble traditions established by the mother may be carried on and perfected by the son. The attachment of Catholics t3 the throne and the dynasty are beyond suspicion." XXX The London Morning Leader says that the executors of Queen Victoria's will are Princess Beatrice, the Duke of Connaught and Lieutenant Colonel Sir Fleetwood Edwards, who was keeper of her Majesty's privy purse from 1S0G, and extra equerry to the Queen from 1SSS. XXX The Cowes correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph says he learns that the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York will proceed to Australia, as originally arranged, the King being unwilling to allow private sorrow to interfere with an undertaking of such imperial significance. xxx The Lisbon correspondent of the London Daily Mall says the King of Portugal has received the following telegram from King Edward VII: "Your kind sympathy for nie, dear Charles, at a moment when suffering such a cruel loss, affects me deeply. Your presence will be truly welcome at the funeral of my beloved mother." TROUBLE IN THE GHETTO. Ilnndreds. of Chicago Ilebrevra Victimized with Illegal Divorce Papers. CHICAGO, Jan. 25. According to testimony given before Justice Dooley to-day by a Jewish tailor named Steenfelt, hundreds of couples in Chicago, and especially residents of the Ghetto, are living apart in the belief that they have been legally divorced. Steenfelt was arrested for wife abandonment after his wife had discovered that the legal-looking document which thev both had signed under the Impression that it divorced them, was invalid. The document was issued by a local banker, real estate agent, proprietor of deposit vaults and an assistant to a judge of the Circuit Court, and bears his notarial seal. Judge Dooley refused .to recognize the document, and the case was continued. Complications among the Ghetto residents are expected to result, as, under the impression that they were legally divorced, many are said to have assumed new family relations. WISH TO BE MARRIED.

THE SUXDAY-SCHOOL LESSOX. Jan. 27, 11M1 Slatthew xxil, 34-4 G Christ Silence the Pharlnees. Handel, when composing his oratorio, "The Messiah," was found bathed In tears. What touched him was the prophet's words, "He was despised." The despising: of Jesus was as evident in the temple as at the crcts. And physical pains are not so sever, to a spiritual soul as wounds inflicted upon that higher nature. Lowell says: "Our modern martyrdoms are done In tyre." So Jesus waa crucified again and again before ever He came to the croM. We coma now to th. last onset of His despising critics. It is led on by the Pharisees. They have heard of the bewildering defeat Jesus had given their rivals, the Sadducees; how. In a dialectical way, he had put an end to them forever. Now, If they, the Pharisees, could get the better of this brilliant young tabbl in debate they would 3core a point against the Sadducees at the sme lime they blocked the way of a teacher whose success meant the end of their system. We cannot know whether the questioner was disingenuous or not. To assert (Expositor's) that the question was asked by "a true man," "a genuine Inquirer," Is an assumption, and, at any rate, aside from the real point at issue. What the Pharisees wanted was to el'cit from Jesus a sentiment. If possible, a categorical statement, which could be used against him in the trial for heresy Impending. The question Itself Illustrates the character of religion then current. It was technicality gone to seed. Literalism had killed spirituality. There was such a batch of commandments that classification seemed imperative; so there were the little and great, light and weighty. And the question which was the chief of all was naturally much modted. A spiritual virtue was not thought of. It was for some, washing hands; others, how to build a booth for the Feast of Tabernacles; or, at best, circumcision and keeping Sabbath. The answer of Jesus has been called a miracle of genius, a flavh of Inspiration. lie escaped the snare of the fowler. Ho allied himself with r.o bickering faction. He carried the question over Into an entirely new realm, where there are no disjointed commands and sacramental offices, but where there Is a life which gives continuity, vigor -and progress to the whole. With ne splendid flash, a of a heavenly searchlight, Jesus discloses the permanent and fundamental element in religion for all time and all people. Absent, It makes the Christian a heathen; present, it makes the heathen a Christian, though he may have never so much as heard of Christ. The disputatious .coterie fades away. Jesus is speaking to the universal human heart. The man of to-day, technically rated an unbeliev?r, must recognize the dlvincness of this message, and, receiving it Into an honest heart, must begin the life of love toward God and his feJlows. And that is religion. Too great technicality must be avoided in defining the manner of our loving Ood viz., heart, soul, mind. It means, as Meyer aptly says, "the complete, harmonious, se-1 (-dedication of th. entire inner man to God." It seems worth while, however, to emphasize the fact that we can love God with the mind. It is to be feared that, as Phillips Brooks says, "there are Ignorant taints who come very near to God and live tn the rich sunlight of His love; but none the less for that Is their ignorance a detraction from their sainthood. Give your intelligence to Ood. Know all you can about Him. These two principles love to God and Jove to man from which all religion flows, must te consrtstent with one another, otherwise they could not both be principles of the same religion. (Homiletic.) Love to God Is also love to His children, our fellow-men. (Geike.) Nothing is or ought to be esteemed religion that Is not reducible to one or the ether of these principles. (Sherlock.) Now th. questioned turned questioner. It was no Scripture conundrum, however. Jesus was really proffering them th. clew of faith. If with the spirit cf teachableness, which is the prerequisite to entering all other kingdoms, as well as the kingdom cf heaven, they had followed the thread, they would have escaped the labyrinth of rharlneeism. Alas! they loved the maze, and they would none of the leadership of J-us. They would not welcome Him as Son of David and Son of God. So it ended with their finding themselves in tb. same plight as the Sadducees. Uut the mouths that were gagged might have been vocal with hosannas. Key and Analysis. I. Jesus' moral agony; greater than physical; cause of it. Contradiction of sinners against himself. Effort to entangle Him in His worJbi. Refusal to accept II Im or His message. (2) Particular Instance; Pharisces's covert attack. Effort to elicit a criminating statement. The chief commandment; mooted because of number and variety. (2) Jesus' answer; partlsanfsm avoided. Substance of religion, a life. Characteristic of that llfe-;-love; towards God, toward man. II. Questioners questioned. No Scripture conundrum proposed. A clew of faith proffered. Rejected. Questioners silenced. THE STUDY. LAMP. Technicality in religion finds its burlesque in Pharlseeism. They taught C13 commandments, one for each letter cf the Decalogue; 23 of these were negative one for each vein In the body or day in the year. They also commanded (Numbers .XV, 38) fringes to be worn on the corner of their tallith, bound with a thread of blue; each fringe had eight threads and five knots thirteen; and the letters of the word UrftaUh (fringes) makes 600 plus 1J 13. Absurd! Yes; but so Is salvation by legalism. No doubt, Jesus pointed to th. shema which the lawyer wore In the phylactery between his eyes. How near, and y.t how far, the answer was from th. lawyer's mind! We are so familiar with th. Incident, we are apt to los. the poorer of It. How easily the answer seemed to glide from Jesu His! Yet, under most tryinir circumstances, it was t Instantaneous enunciation to order of th. fundamental principle of religion. It was a Fcriptur. quotation. Yes; tut from passages

sundered far. (Deut, vi; Lev. xlx.) And n where are they speken of as the First and Second Commandments. Jesus' answer was no a'oe tract ion, but a concrete reality. "He simplifies the whole sweep of the tea words la brief and easily remembered, principles." (Ge4ke.) "He sets out two great guiding stars which all the hosts of lesser commandments follow." (Ibid.) St. Paul. In his noble "Ode to Love." Elves us the expansion of tho commandments Jesus enunciated. Charles Klngsley rtyi admirably: "There can be no t-al lov of God which is not based upon the love of -virtue and goodness, upon which our Lord calls a hunger and thirst after righteousness." The, two commandments are the noble and rufficlrct guide of th. religious life. On loving God with th. whole heart, mind and soul, PurkItt quiintly remarks that the measure of loving God is to love Illm without measure. MOSAIC FROM THE COMMENTARIES.

Resolutions; Horn. I, 14-10. In the famous three verses by Taul which study this week the great missionary utters three sentences which are at the foundation of th'e propagation of Christianity. "I am net ashamed of the gospel." he says, "since It la th. power of God for salvation." "I am debtor." h. says, "to all men. And I am ready," he says, "to preach this gospel anyhere, even as far as Borne." I am not ashamed. X am debtor. I utn ready. That is the missionary platform. Every true Christian will lory In his name, "Christian." He will want to write upon Ms forehead. "I am Christ's." He will exult In th. triumphs of Christian civilization. When a Chinaman in Peking or a Malagasy In Antonarartvo or an Armenian in Harpoot lays down his life rather than deny his Lord, all Christians everywhere walk th straighter. We are part cf the crusaders, the reformers, the saviors, of ill these Christian centuries. Every hospital Is partly our, and every school and parliament. AshameJ of Christ? Sooner shall rubles b ashamed of their parents and kings of tair crowns! But every delight Is a debt. The world's word Is "get," but the Christian's Is "give."
