speaks about an unitiscasvered con -
it Uncut. Tito now world was out: of
St. siSld, but for him it Watt a real
W world. Slo he tomcat his little ship

ie. day Columbus sailed steadily on. Its
ts EtallOrS wore full of (Lemur; again and
,ot again 1 hay mutinied, .is'or many
0. days Columbus concealed the real
a -
distaste° they had genial. At last he
saw a gonion bough floating in the
waters. On„the bough rested a car -
shoal bird, with wings tired through
the long flight.
In that hour Columbus exuliod and
his heart sang, for joy. With instant
ig
la vision he leaped from the bough to
le the great forest, from the single bled
3r to gooks of sweet songsters, just
hehind the red clouds and the setting
sun was that" undiscovered coun-
try." And so lie sailed on, tho long
night through, knowing that, whim
the day dawned and the shadows fled
Away ho would behold the now worId.
All 1010(5 she result; this is lilstory.
For the explorer the bird of hope
and that of the golden hough told
no Iles. They were the forerunners
of this spletoliti continent.
And not otherwise is it with tlio
deep longings of the Meta. At home
m
ya, wife or child Is ill. In tho
night you awaken full of fear. And
then a great, sweet hope spritsgs up.
The child shall not return to
you, tut
YOU SHALL CO TO MM. .
Suitclonly the hopo immortal sings In
your liocutt Bice a bird. It tells of
the undiscovprod country of Shakes-
peare, of the happy hills of Paradiso.
For, as Columbus . found for us
America, Christ discovoreci tho Olt
of God. . .

CLORTWE HAVE KNOWN%
Of tlicy millions of birds nature and
Cod never have deceived ono by ly-
ing instinct. Therefore Christ said'
Y., "Let not y0111. heart 1)0 troubled,'
Ills while Paul added, "Wo know that if

er- Tho testimony of the grontsest
minds also is another witness; to int-
moetulity. It th probleen that the
man who has Lim ono last fact In tin
e1180 outweighs all Um millions. Thus
Professor Curio's judgment in radi-
um the morning after ho announced
his discovory was worth 1110r0 Limn
the judgmont of all tho other 1,-
500,000,000, and not otherwise lt is
with this hopo.
Many ignorant people haVo no
thought or immortal its+, But there
newts hes been a soet or man of
supreme gonius or philosopher that
has riot cherished this faith. Tho
higher also he had climbed tho
brighter his hope. Socraten was 'this
wisest teacher that ever walked the
streets of Athens, Slowly Socrates
coes-LrucLed his argurnon ts for im-
mortality, and on the raft of his in-
stiacts and his faith put out into
the dell:nem and tho 51011(1 and
sailed the Rea with Clod alone.
Paul is the greatest philosopher
the Hebrews have produced. Turn-
ing away fro10 all gospels of doubt
mid despair, Paul said: "I know
that I howl a house clornal," mad
looked Conran' to death as to the
hour of victory and supremo happi-
ness, Other great inwi have been
clouded in their faith, bul ta their
bitst moments they have cleared tho
mind of clouds.
What a, word is this: "I had ra-
ther be wrong with Plato and Socra-
tes then right with thoso who doubt
and deny," Therefor() in his last and
crowning book Professor Fiske re-
cords his faith -that immortality is
tho goal toward which the world
process of evolution has boen strug-
gling from trio very beginning, 1005
scimce has become a prophet or im-
