The object of this last is to bring together representatives of all the faiths of the world; to show how all religions touch and affect each other; to promote a spirit of true brotherhood set forth important distinctive truths in each great Religion; to show the solid foundations of deism and Immortality of the soul; to secure from leading scholars full statements of what each religion has done; to compare religions to learn the AN IMPOETANT MOVEMENT. 0UE CONTINGENT FUND. One of the most important and interesting questions, educationally, is now attracting a good deal ot attention in the West.

God the holy one, man the guilty sinner at his bar. A sentence of extermination, or annihilation, is not passed upon mankind, but instead a promise of a future deliverer, whose work should be to overcome the serpent and thereby destroy his work by restoring humanity to the divine favor. The earth received the curse for man's sake, henceforth he must eat his bread by the sweat of his face. This was a merciful provision of his grace. Man was not to be and so give way to repining, but to labor for his sustenance.

Spurgeon's pulpit during his illness, made an eloquent address. As the olive wood coffin containing the remains of the revered pastor, were borne down the aisle to the hearse in waiting, the entire congregation arose and joined in the singing of the hymn, "There is No Night in Homeland." The body was interred in Norwood cemetery. The procession was very large, and the entire route from the tabernacle to the cemetery was lined by an immense concourse of people, while the bells other great subjects, reforms, to bring the world into full understanding of Entered at the Post-ofllee In Kansas City, Kansas, as Second-class Mall matter.
