nominated, which his letter will
certainly not prevent, he cannot
then be accused of duplicity. He

his party and if he intends not to
accept the nomination should it be
offered him the Democrats have
lost nothing by his action. How-
ever, bis letter does not say that
he will not accept, and many be-
that he will if the nomination
is tendered him. Nothing but
failing health will prevent- He

Batter. All law is divine law.
Law is itself an attribute of God.
The supreme decree under which the
material has been evolved
made what it is was the law of the
of the fittest. Under the full
operation of this law we have
a self made world. The highest creation
is that which is thus made to create it-
self. It partakes then of character. The
only man that is a real man is the self
made man. The only man who has
character is such a man. This is the
highest development of manhood. So
the highest development of the material
universe would be a self made world.
Such is the world which we live.
DEATH A
If say that such a world could have
been improved by the elimination of
death and the infinite perpetuation of
life death, we have made a
grave mistake m our conception of
death, and a graver mistake in
the conclusion based upon such reason-
Death is not an evil if life that
precedes death fulfill its divine mission.
Death is a benevolent provision of law.
Without death there could be no
in life. The gateway to larger life
is the gate of death. If we begin with
the unit of life, the cell, we find no such
thing as death. One cell divides into
two cells. These again divide,
millions of cells are pro-
Here we have life without death.
The life is uniform. There is no
in the cells. The millionth
cell produced is of precisely the same
character as the first. When we begin
to rise in the scale of life we can rise
only the process of death.
When this shell dies, the outer shell de-
there is produced the first out-
line of an Every step in the
increase of the functions of life from
this cell can only be met through
the process of death. Death, therefore,
not designed to be a tragedy. Nature
declares that death is but her benevolent
provision for fuller life.

possible for man to choose. We make
him a machine and put him in a world
of mechanics. He has no destiny to

does not make himself. He is made on
an automaton pattern. In a world
of mechanics it would be impossible to

the moral world- -good and evil. Char-
is the choice of good in the ace of
evil. Character is the highest possible
product within the attainment of man.
How does character come It comes
through temptation and trial.
Innocence in itself is a negative
Innocence is simply the absence of
wrong. A babe is innocent, because
the babe knows nothing of evil, we
cannot say that the babe is be-
cause virtue is the higher
dent to character, which can c

placed before the chooser and the

enduring quality of charade. Virtue
is power. The innocent suffer with the
guilty, for the guilty, at the hands of
the guilty. Suffering innocence be-
comes through the process of suffering
heroism and martyrdom. This world
would be a poorer world without its
heroes and martyrs.
THE
Character is produced through suffer-
Christ, we are told, was made per-
through suffering. Suffering seems
to be the only power that levels all dis-
and hinds the heart of the race
in the primal unity of its divine strength.
It obliterates I he of nations, of
races, of classes, and brings us face to
face with man as man. When the Prince
of Wales recently stood face to face
with death in his home, he sent to the
queen mother in her castle the message
that announced the sad death of the
first born of his home. That message of
supreme sorrow was signed with the
simple All titles dis-
faded away this hour of
supreme sorrow. He stood forth with
bead upon the primal ground
of inherent manhood. The only full
men who live in the world are the men
who know Borrow.
The only books in the library worth
reading are written by men who
knew the secrets of human suffering.

there rests today on their shelves not a
single book that is worth reading that
was not written out of the sorrow of
man souls. When the novelist has fin-
the trials and temptations
sorrows of the characters portrayed the
book there is nothing more to lie
said. There is no history beyond Coal
point. II the book goes beyond
reader does not. There is no history
save the history of suffering. It is this
that moves the world. It is this that
the history of the world.
As read the wonderful works of
Shakespeare we are reminded of this
paradox. We do not know how much
we owe to Mrs. Shakespeare. If she had
not vigorously pulled William's hair it
is a question to whether would

swept the whole gamut of
human from the deepest notes
of tragedy and suffering to the highest
and sweetest notes of human joy. He
had walked all the way. Ho knew
human life. Had he lived only in sun-
he would have touched only the
surface.
If yon ask me why this is true of
human life. lean more answer than
could answer why water runs down hill
-why gravitation gravitates. It is so
because it is so. Beyond that the
of the Infinite Wisdom which
made the world.
Most into poetry by

Sorrow, not joy. seems to be the power
that gives man the energy and capacity
tor work and making of the
story of the race. French sailors, after
they have made a tour of the world, it is
said, as they return and catch the first
view of their beautiful land, become so
filled with joy that work is impossible.
They crowd to the bulwarks of the
strain their eyes toward the shore,
stand helpless and cry like children. It
is necessary to get a new crew to bring
the ship into harbor. In the midst of
the storm that swept their decks they
stood every man to his post, with mus-
knotted like whipcords. They car-
their vessel through the storm,
through the billows in safety, each heart
charged with energy incomparable
sorrow and trial. The hour of
joy seemed to be the one hour that
strung the energies of the man.
NO PAIN, NO JOY.

any other conceivable world would give
us not a better, but a condition.

is a primarily benevolent
of nature. Pain is the friendly
sentinel that points with kindly hand
on ward upward to safety in a higher
life. Take for instance the presence of
pain in the physical body. Take man as
an illustration. The seat of pain in the
body of man is found almost on
the outer ramparts of the body. The
most sensitive of the human
is the skin. Here man has millions of
friendly sentinels that warn him of the
approach of danger.
If thrust my hand upon a knife, in-
i the signal of danger is flashed to
the brain and withdraw to a position
of safety. If expose my body to the
fire, instantly am informed of the fact
of danger. Suppose pain were eliminated
from the physical man might
approach me in the darkness, thrust his
dagger through my side and sever an
artery with his keen blade without my
knowing that he had touched
might be slain in a moment simply for
the lack of for the vital organs
that are within the citadel of the body
have little or no sensitiveness to pain.
The human heart has been exposed in
the body of a bring man by a wound in
the sine. Yon can thrust your hand
into the body take hold of the throb-
bing heart of a live man and he will
not lie aware that you have touched
him. Pain is the friendly, outer
that kindly warns us of the approach
of danger and points to the way of
safety.
As we rise in the scale of being this
provision for safety becomes more and
more complicated and the possibility of
pain increases with the possibility of
life. Beginning with tho cell life in
which there is no pain, and climbing in
the scale to the consummate climax
of lire in man, we find this law to hold
good through the whole way. Ton rec-
the fact, therefore, that the pro-
vision for producing the highest possible

STATUE BOOTBLACK
We will make a world now without
injustice or pain or suffering. passed
a gentleman this morning in Madison
square. I passed the same gentleman
in tho sumo square, in the same place, .
about years E-go. He was sitting
calmly on an scat. He seemed
serenely happy, no knows no such
thing as suffering. All days are as one.
He enjoys a storm as well as a day of
sunlight. He knows no want, sorrow, I
no pain, no temptation, no trial.

stone pedestal. Near this statue, ob-
serve, sitting on the curbstone, a little
watt, ragged, tired, shivering in the
cold, hungry. As look at his pinched
form wonder how many days in his
life yet to live ho will go hungry. I
wonder how many nights ho will crawl
into some barrel under some stoop to es-
cape the fierce winds of winter, and find
rest for his aching little body. And yet
as I look from this bundle of rags on the
curbstone up to tho bronze statue I'd
rather a thousand times be that miser-
able, ragged bootblack with his power
to suffer and to love than be the proud-
est statue that ever adorned marble or
granite pyramid. never saw a man in
my life who would not choose thus.
The world of freedom, the world of
life, the world of morals with its dual
possibilities of infinite joy. of infinite
sorrow, take it where you will rid when
you will, infinite in height above the
world of mechanics.
Out of this free world, then, of law,
the physical and moral perfection must
emerge in triumph at last. The fittest
must survive in the physical and the
moral world. Justice does not fail. The
colonel says that justice does not
but justice does triumph in the
end. It is altogether the exception for
justice not to triumph even within the
domain of time. If it do not triumph
for the moment it does triumph in the

and destroys itself. Evil builds the gal-
lows for innocence, but evil is
preparing the gallows for itself.
The only reason why there is an
to the rule that justice does
is that justice is of the eternities,
while our field of observation is of the
finite. Within this finite field the rule
is that justice does triumph in the long
run, and therefore we know that it will
triumph exception the end.
The reign of law. therefore, is the
reign of love. The thousand apparent
cruelties of nature are incidents to the
reign of law. We would not

reign of chaos. The reign of law
ways is the reign of love. Nature does
not forget her duty to the human race.
Nature has never failed to provide an
abundant harvest for man. The spring
never forgets to come. The flowers
never t to bloom. The seasons
always come in their order and with
their rich burden of treasure for the
race. Why a famine in Russia Is
to blame Did she not send forth
her superabundance through the earth
in America, and do we not girt the earth
with ships today Whose fault is it
if peasants perish in Russia, while the
granaries of a world burst with grain
Whose fault is it in Russia, that within
her own borders there is not sufficient

Let man put himself, in other words,
accord with the eternal laws of God
in nature and he cannot want. The
reason why there is a famine
is because man has violated the eternal
economies of nature. It is not
it is man's fault. There has been
wrong, oppression, injustice, cruelty,
suffering. And God means to teach the
world in these hours of sorrow the
of the world to these
millions. Yes, God did foresee the dead
in Russia's famine, but yon did not fore-
see it. Russia nothing to yon

lifting the burden of these millions
your brethren and placing it
hearts, with the threads of sorrow
he is binding up the borders of the ca-
until there shall lie one man lie
love unbroken that shall cover all the
race.
The famine in Russia is a call to unity
and love, to man. a call for justice and
freedom to the oppressed of the
world, and out of these hours of dark-
the God who rules brings the good.
The infinite and eternal energy that
sweeps through the ages and makes the
history of man is none other than
infinite power that makes for righteous-
Matthew Arnold, who certainly is not
regarded as a bigoted and
yet who is most competent to speak
this as the unrivaled
of civilization and culture in their pure-
aspects, said in the first ad-
dress he delivered in America that there
was no hope for American citizens and
institutions unless we walked in the
ways of righteousness.
He adduced as an illustration France
and ventured to prophesy that unless
Franco turned from the worship of the
god that is, from her
would lose her valor in
battle and her skill in counsel. No
would save her. and the life of a
once famous state must inevitably lose
its glory. Parnell. when he broke with
this resistless that sweep-

or not, broke his own life, crushed hi-

I am all for economy, the only-
kind of economy which is at
understood any branch of the public
service is that of cutting down
of the lower ranks in order to in-
crease those of the higher. To him that

by the fact that it is earned

his subordinate his few shillings a week

saved the public purse, and is rewarded
for his noble service with another thou-

The true economy is the precise re-
I verse of this. Retrenchment should be-
gin at the top of the tree. Under the
present system efficiency is necessarily
sacrificed. The stuff is insufficient for
the work, and the men are either over-

One of the cleverest devices that have
lately come to the notice of the police
was discovered at a South Cove house.
The police felt certain that the occupant
of tins was dealing in liquor
and they searched the place re
but failed to find any
rial sign of guilt. At last one man, while
making a search at this house, happened
to the door to an innocent looking
tall clock, when lo a faucet was re-
vealed to his Bight. He turned the
of the faucet and beer flowed from
it freely. Whaling, the clock from the
wall he saw a pipe, which led him to a
cutely covered hole in a dark cellar.
where several barrels of beer were
found.
It came out that tho proprietor of the
place had a rubber tube, one end of which
he occasionally attached to the faucet
and placed the other end in a large milk
can. drawing a supply of beer
for all demands for a time. If
the police suddenly happened in upon
him he would empty the con-
tents of the can into a sink. No other
persons knew of the faucet in the clock,
