Religious Thought
It may be said at the outset that
too many churches are born religious
ly tired. Their members believe noth
ing can bo done to keep the young
men from saloons and to stimulate the
good morals ot the town, and they do
not even try. Thoy ring their church
bell, they warm the mcotlng-housc,
they open tho doors, they "hire a mln
Ister," thoy announce tho services
and "lot It go at that," In these days
of abunJant reading matter, much of
It Interesting although by no means
elevating, In these days when the
business "hustler" Ib Idealized, the
churches cannot dopend upon the
mero fact that they exist and go
through the motions of worship and
of proclaiming the truth, In order to
oxort wide-reaching spiritual powor.
Thoy must do something as well as
bo something and bellovo something.

pression of the evangel has therefore
always been possible and desirable.
It is on tho face of It unlikely that

pel. It is a lack of Christian humility
to assume that our Gospel and the
Gospel nro Identical. Walter Rausch-

GRAVE
TROUBLE
FEARED
General Reyes May Not Be
Allowed to Take His
. Seat as President
A great deal of our modern llfo Is
full of Illusion I will not character
ize ll by a stronger or more contempt
uous term tho Illusion that we can
inako humanity greet and pure and
honost and lovlng'by a vision of great
iueais.'No; tho piaco for tho vision
of great Ideals comes when tho mental
and spiritual eyo has been opened by
nitrturo and dlsclpllno, to recognlzo
the great spiritual Ideals and to dis
tinguish them from Ideals that are
false, tho Ignis fatus of false teach
ers and falso promises. Bollovo me,
that Is ono of tho subllmost offlces of
tho elder Testament to which tho
apostle bids us turn back. Bishop
Henry C. Potter, Tho Homllotlc Re-
vlowi
After all, there Is nothing that real
ly goes to tho heart of another like
recognition of his personal worth.
Carlylo was right when ho said that
appreciation, affection, even from a
dog, is Infinitely precious. Most of
us can recnll days when we walked
with a lighter step becauso there had
como to us tho cordial recognition of
another human soul. We do not al
ways think what resources of encour
agement and helpfulness He in an
honest word of recognition or an
other's work or purpose. Tho Watchman.
Wo are turning back to review
Christianity and ask Is, after all, tho
Golden Rule is not workable and the
llfo of Jesus Christ an every-Jay pos
sibility. Tho church Is doing Jts work
In tho Held of Imagination. Its great,
eternal truths must be anchored more
surely to ovory-day llfo, yet tho preach
er will more and mora fill tho Imagin
ation with that central thought of re
ligion, tho assertion that wo aro the
children of God. This was tho dis
tinctive doctrino of Christianity. Tho
Christian Register.
,. ,Tho Oofipol of Christ is ono and Im
mutable; tho comprehension and ex
pression of it In history has boon of
Inflnlto, varloty. No Individual, no
church,' no ago of history has over
comprohondod tho full scopo of God's
Bavlng purposes In Jorub Christ. Nol
thor has any nroclalmol It without
foreign admlxturos that cloggod and
Thcro nro conflicts and battles and
hard work In tho Christian life, and we
must have a piety that Is vigorous and
militant, and capable of bearing bur
dens. And such piety must have tho
Inspiration and strength and Joy that
como from tho consciousness of God's
nearness, from seeing Iflm face to
face, ns Ho reveals Hlmsolf In the
faco of Jesus Christ, whom to see is
to havo seim tho Father. Tho B.

' " W,'WI.r - --
Washington, D. C, Aug. C In offl
clal circles hero authentic news from
Bogota Is awaited with keen Interest
as private Information received lately
Indicates that the affairs of that re
public may reach a critical stage with
in the noxt few days.
Tomorrow is tho date set for tho
Inauguration of General Rafeal Reyes
as president of Colombia. Affairs aro
In such shape, however, that the new
president may not bo allowed to take
offlce without gravo troublo ensuing,
When General Reyes was sent to
Washington In tho hope of affecting
a chango In tjie policy of tho United
States and securing the restoration of
Panama he was tho choice of the gov
ernment party for president. Of
course hlo mission failed. Thereupon
tho influence of President Marroquln
and his administration seemed to bo
thrown for Joaquin Velej!, tho aged
revolutionary governor of the depart
ment of Bolivar, who had done so
mucn 10 ueieai me canal. It was
even announced that Velcz had a
majority secured through the support
of the administration. But Marroquln
shifted around to Reyes, and the result
was In doubt.
General Reyes knew that If ho went
back to Bogota after his failure hero
thore would bo no show whatever for
his becoming president. So ho re
mained In New York a while, and then
sailed for Paris. Meanwhile, he was
doing what ho could for Colombia to
save something out of tho wreck of
Us control in Panama. Ho did not
succeed becauso tho blunderr In Bogo
ta made It impossible.
General Reyes remained In Paris
for several months. Then ho sailed,
not for Colombia but for Venezuela.
Tho strained relations of Colombia
nnd Venezeuela for tho last few years
havo beon well understood. That tho
two countries didn't go to war was
becauso each had on hand revolutions
at home, and each accused tho other
of fomenting those domestic brawls.'
General Castro, tho president of Ven
ozuola, was credited with tho deter
mination to annox somo Colombian
territory undor the pretext of war,
and nt tho same time settlo old scores.
Beforo ho left Paris General Reyes
knew that ho would bo well recolved
In Venezuola. While in Caracas ho
gavo uttoranco to somo interesting
opinions which vero supposed to bo
uirected chlelly against tho United
States. His ndvlco was for a genoral
union of tho Latin-American races to
guard against tho aggression both of
tho Yankees nnd tho Europeans. Tho
Latln-Amorlcnn union which ho sug
gested was not the onternwth nf
Panama nor was It really conceived
In hostility to tho United States. Gen
eral Reyes had long been an advocato
of tho doctrino Hint iim t in
still lias a mission.
Good results undoubtedly came from
Goneral Royes visit to Vimnmnin
Gonoral Castro opened somo of tho
ciiBtoms ports on tho Colombian front
ier that had been closed and gavo
encouragoraont to tho re-establish-
went of commerco between tho two
countries. Probably the better under
standing secured with Venezuola
holped General Reyes after his return
to Colombia. It is clear that tho
Marroquln administration felt a Httla
more freo in hnnlllnK domestic Bt..
Jotts. The real question to bo do-
tormlnod was whether Reyes could bo
peaceably Inaugurated even after a
majority of tho electoral collego had
declared him tho cholco. During tho
last few weoks ovory mall hns brought
word of Intrlguos nnd plots against
Reyes. Army commanders aud others
uinKwtM io uo hostile to Oeneral
Royes havo beon removed, hut thi
has sorvod apparently only to increase
tho opiKwItlon.
While It is a badly disorganized
army, the Colombian war forco la nee-
oary to secure a peacoful admlnls
tratlon. If the partisans of Joaquin
Vol succeed In getting tho army, in
all probability thorn win i.A ..rin
I trouble.
Once- Inaugurated nni,ini
Genoral Royos undoubtedly will main'
talnhls control of tho arm v. His ir.
tlRo as a soldier will help him In that
rard. in the campaign against tho
revolutionist In 1S96 he showed he
poasoseed the qualities of military
leadership.
What Qonoral Reyes' policy as prcsl-
ni uo cannoq bo forecasted
with certainty. His chief endeavor
d,auuUws will be directed toward
maintaining the torrltorlaf 'integrity
Pf Iha republic. The mm lift l.ii.
have, beo.nanqaj from tlmftlmeoll
a separation movement In the great
Pacine department of Cauca havo not
been groundless. Tho truth la under
stood to be that the danger of this
department cutting loose In coso
Reyes wero not made president has
been the motive for bringing tho ad
ministration of President Marroquln
tn his supitort.
To Wrestle for Championship.
Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 0 Frank
Gotch, who claims the catch-os-catch-can
wrestling championship of the
world, and Dan S. McLeod, the former
champion, are to contest for the title
In a bout hero tonight. Both men
have taken great care In training for
tho contest, nnd they are said to be
in line physical condition. Gotch be
lieves ho will win with little difficulty,
but McLeod has a host of friends and
admirer who oxpress confidence In
his ability to gain tho decision and tho
long end of tho $1000 purse offered
for the match.
