CURRENT TOPICS.
There have been printed two
eyeopses of the interview between
the eternise emperor and Dr. Wil-
liam Bayard Halo. Each is assert-
ed to be "absolutely accurate and
authentic." It is ditlioult to be-
lieve that either is. The London
Times, writing of the synopsis first
printed, says that its authenticity
has been "authcritatively denied."
Probably that means a denial from
Berlin. Tho second synopsis has
more wild and perilous matter in
it than the first. If it be accurate

This sense of the persistence of
Friondship is more than a state of

loosed from our limitations. It has
nothing to do with alleged com-
munications from the other world.
It is the deep, abiding and strength-

cannot be cut by the keeu edge of

through all, that love is immortal

THERE IS LOVE BEYOND.
I am not worried as to lite beyond

I need to fear would be going out

will find me and teach one the lar-
