HAT RELIGION MEANS
Morality, Because "It Pays" Is Immorality ;
It Is Refined, Civilized Selfishness.
"By their fruits ye shall know
them." -Matt. vii., 16.
Fruit bearing is a vital process.
11 a aro learning to -day to express
religion in terms of life, to measure
it not by its power to repress but
its power to develop and express
the best in man.
The test of any creed is not tha
antiquity of its authorities, but the
vitality of its ideals, its power over
the hearts and lives of men to
make a new heaven and a new earth
sv'herein dwells rightness.
This is the reason the old creeds
pass away, because each new day
aces a higher vision, catches larger
glimpses of what man must be. Re-
ligion becomes democratic, it is the
voice of the people crying out for
the highest good. The spiritual in
this world is the soul of humanity
seeking after truth and fullness :,f
life.
In our day religion passes from
philosophy to practice. Once when
religion was regarded as a package
c•f truth contained in a special cas-
ket, the all important thing was
Le preserve that, package unbroken.
When we see religion as the soul of
humanity seeking the eternally good
that search forces us beyond old
truths, beyond tracks made on yes-
terday's road, forces us to drop the
garments of the past, the packages
of ancient philosophies and press in-
to to -day's truth.
Every true search for truth de-
mands self-expression. If our vis-
ion is that of a new heaven and a
new earth, we,

man possesses any ideal he does
not seek to express and realize.
No plan has any religion he does
not use.
Putting religion into practice he -
comes at once a much broader nut-
ter than doing things at a church,
passing the plate or serving in the
choir ; it means bringing to prevail
in human relations, in society,
every principle, ideal, and hope
that we cherish religiously ; .t,
means helping men to the perfec-
tions we may dreani of their deity

Is it that a plant is possessed of

division, three miles distant from
Duttapuker, on the central district
of the E. 11. S. Railways, is now be-
ing transformed into a weird, and at
the same time a touching scene, says
the India Daily News.
Since a fortnight a date palms
measuring about twenty-five feet, is
being found to stand erect in the day
time, but with the decline of the
schorching rays of the sun prevalent
nowadays, the same palm almost
bends to the ground, so much so
that its huge mass of leaves touches
the ground imperceptibly.
This news spread like wildfire
throughout the locality, and the
superstitious people are flocking
every day to witness the scene.
What is most astonishing is that the
earth on which it grew is neither
loose, nor is it cracked, by the daily
and nightly coining down and rais-
ing of the palm.
Most of the eyewitnesses, of which
the writer is excluded, are offering
pujas to the palm, thinking that
there is a god underneath the tree.
Fort Churchill is probably the r '.ch-
est place west of the Great Lases.
It was in 1688 the then newly -organ-
ized Hudson's Bay Company found-
ed a post at this rnagnificient har-
bor. In 1721 the post was rebuilt.
On the west side of the entrance to
the harbor is Fort Prince of Wales,
a substantial old fortress, which was
commenced in 1733 and not complet-
ed until thirteen years later. It
is no toy fortress, either. The
length of each side is 312 feet, three
of the sides being of dressed and
dimension atone inside and out. The
walls are 34 feet thick, and 16 feet
high. In the stormy days of the
eighteenth century it was mounted
with a battery of forty cannon. Dur-
ing the exciting days of the final
conflict between the French and the
English the fort was captured and
partially destroyed by the French
Admiral La I'crouse in 1782.
Churchill consists of two peninsu-
las, one on the west being about ten
miles by three miles wide at the
southern end, and an the east side,
about five miles by•two miles wide
at the southern end. The western
peninsula on its western side has
two ridges, each from 90 to 125 feet
in height; the northern one extend-
ing 3% miles southerly from Fort
Prince of \Vales, and the southerly
•1 a

south of Fort Prince of Wales, and
extending southerly a distance of
11 miles.
These ridges consist of (felspathic-
gnartzite) sandstone of a green grey
color, well adapted for building pur-
poses. Fort Prince of Wales is
built of this stone, and its durability
may lie gauged by the fact that it
bas not suffered, although built in
1733.
"On the southerly end of the
northerly ridge there is a deposit of
white quartzite, similar in forma-
tion to Marble Island ; this stone
takes a fine finish, and is well adapt-
ed for ornamental building pur-
poses; an area of about ten acres is
exposed.
WATER SUPPLY.
"About three miles southerly of
Batery Beacon, and two-thirds of a
mile from the river, are three or
four fresh water lakes at nn eleva-
tion of fifteen feet above the water.
The bottoms of these lakes consist
of limestone ; they cover an area of

whales (I counted thirty-five in one
shoal) could be seen going up river
at every tide. Salmon trout and
whitefish are taken in the river and
harbor al the year, but are more
abundant in the spring.
"At Churchill potatoes, turnips
and other vegetables have been suc-
cessfully raised at the Hudson Bay
fort. For many years cattle and
horses have been successfully kept
and bred at the Hudson Bay post.
Excellent pasture and hay meadows
are found on both sides of the river
above the harbor for a known lis-
tanco of thirty-five miles.
"At the head of Button Bay there
is an area of 2,000 acres upon which
good hay may be cut, which has
been pronounced by Professor Ma-
coltn as affording excellent forage.
Wild black and red currants and
gooseberries are found in great
quantities, and are the equal, if not
the superior, in flavor, of garden
produce. Barrels of black currants
can be picked around Fort Prince
of Wales; cranberries exist in great
abundance everywhere. Other ber-
ries which are indigenous to the
climate abound."
About one-third of the country
from Fort Churchill to the Pas, the
present terminus of the Canadian
Northern Railway, is marsh. The
higher lands aro covered with
spruce and tamarac, suitable only
for fuel and pulpwood. No minerals
were seen by Thibaudeau, but Mc-
Lnggan, in the district he explored,
reports gold, silver, iron and lime-
stone. Water power is to be found
in abundance on all the rivers, and
there is unlimited power in the

Maltese cross in white enamel,

Among foreign orders the anci-
ent Order of the Golden Fleece
takes a prominent place, but its
jewel pales before that of the Rus-

King's badge of the latter order is
exquisitely enamell: cl, in the cen-

THE CHIEF PORTUGUESE
ORDER,
that of Christ, has for its badge a
long cross enamelled in red, sur-
charged with a white cross, and
surrounded by fine pearls, snaking
a very graceful ornament. The
Black Eagle of Prussia, a most ex-
clusive order, is, so far as the first
class is concerned, reserved almost
entirely for those of Royal birth.
The badge owned by the King of
the lending order of Austria-Iun-
gury is avery valuable jewel, but
in point of ago, it gives place to the
Marianon Cross, which is ono of
the oldest religious orders.
One very interesting order is
that of the Chrysanthemum, of
Japan: The badge of this is exe-
cuted in enamel, and represents
one large yellow flower, set among
gt ren leaves, and surrounded by
four smaller blooms.
Among other countries which
have contributed to the King',
store of orders are France (which
has conferred on his Majesty the
Legion of Honor), Denmark. Siam,
Turkey, Belgium, Baden, Norway,
Sweden, Italy, Greece, and Brazil.
