Again we might say: If the dlapension of the Jew over the face of the earth I* looked upon as a punishment from Gpd, how shall we look upon Christianity with It* dlvt*- ! ion into nigh 1M sects. We are not a ! nation. When Jerusalem fell under the I battering ram* of Titus, the Jew be came a cittsen of the world. Whin Me- I kUtley asked for volunteer*, among i them were 4.000 who were born in the faith of Israel. Yet they volunteered I not as Jewswd.ut ar American citizen*. We are not a nation. Yet as Individ uals we number more than some sects of Christianity dispensed over the earth Yet I would riot use the bad logic, or rather want of logic, aa to say that the numtier of confessors in a creed showed exclusively whether or not it was be loved of God. The fact is. if we believe in a God. we ought to know Jat He cares m" for numbers. To IBm belongrth the whole earth "The heaven is My throne and the earth I* footstool." There fore "not by might I tor by power, but my spirit.” It Is ■•ylmr alone an In dividual and a naton can lie tested. The people of Israel taught this stand ard.

But If this comforting gilt w an withheld, or If sometimes It suffer- I cd eclipse when the wintry storm* if, the Atlantic buffeted their little crafr, j there must hove been occasions when the resolute hearts of It* company : doubted whether it had not been belter , that she had never weighed anchor au l never spread a sail. And even when j the voyage was ended and the lit I" j vessel rod* at anchor on a rock-bound j and snow-wrapped coast, how desolate I she must have looked In the oiling. And , when those who hmi gone down to the j sea in thi* utile *btp realized on that. repellant shore that she was the only ! link between them and the fair world they had left behind them not more did the see gull* hover about the lonely craft than did the anx-, ious fears of Its exiled voy- !

Not strange, then, that the artist makes me a dreary and depressing Ut ile picture of tho "Mayflower." But Why Do I Linger so long over that little ship? For real ly though It is Inseparably associated with the memorie* of the day we cele brate. it is not the Mayflower of my theme. Thet Mayflower of the Pil grims sailed the ocean In a high lati tude of the north temperate zone. The other Mayflower of my thoughts buret into bloom In distant tropical seas. That Mayflower of our early history withered and perished two centuries and more ego. The Mayflower with which my thoughts are busy at this moment is still in gorgeous and ex pending efflorescence. The wintry i ccaan which bore upon its oosom thy - earlier flower and the seas at the equa- . ! !or which witnessed the bud and bloom ; i t the Mayflower of today are not more j different, are ooi more separated in I kind than the two flowers themselves. | Tim Mm lUhimmj imf lupi N#« # •ftM M* Iff s<-4$ led » • milSN* ft kff MHI A#, t i# ' «*#4 hm mNMMI •ffmm Npn . iimmimM mm «f ***** *M Mi *** U * * * tMt IN# HmN «4 «NMt Or* ht Nn* N 4n * *>f Am : s *in (N# * *4m i f «wm Imml 190% lit# pj—jim *Niv Irmanift Mr#*# limfta mW Ut* #%•?*#!

When this por tentious apparition of empire agitates some of us so horribly, we need some such theory as I have feebly set forth to calm our perturbed spirits.
