"The a|M>Htlu St. I\>ter had jusl panned throiiKh one of those remarkable revolu tions of thought which have the power of making commonplace men spiritual geniuses. Before this revolution of thought he was a Tjtirrow sectarian of the exclusive Jewish type, limiting Uod\ acceptability of a man to the peculiar race in which one may have happened first to open Ilia eyes, and to thiit cxclil sive type of tlnyology in which it ni iy have been bis fortune or misfortune to be cdiicaled. Hut In lids remarkable revo iiiiioii of by iiipotiriug of the holy spirit, he by one bound passed from the narrowest uiel most exclusive of nil Kectarians to the broadest of catholics. lie at once passed from the trammel* of all 1 1 1 < ?? > I ? ?k i ? n into the infinite pecan of imiverHiil religion.

"One of the most interesting and in si rnetive books it bits been my pleasure to read is .lames Freeman ('lark's 'Ten (J rent Religions." lint he has used the word religion in the title and throughout the book In an Incorrect sense. There /} -ire not ten great religions, or even tw . small or great religions. There is only one small or great Religion, love to < J 01 1 and love to man. The fat herjiood ot tSod and the brotherhood of man is tie only Mnall or great religion. No dotibi there are ten or ten thousand opinion* ami speenlat ions among men coiicerniiir Cod and man, but we hate another word with which to label man's concept ions ot tiod and his eternal plans and thai word is theology. There are, no dotilti ten great theologies, bnt not ten gren? religions. There is only ope religion and all men believe in that one religion. I! there is one thing t hit I melt do agree about and upon il is religion. Hut il there is one thing about which men dis agree, and about which It i? impossible for lliem to unite at the present time, it is theology.

The march to tho penitentiary, half a mile away, was made on foot, the mob i nu lling out in tl^v^M*e^ts jostling and pushing and scrambling to get close to t he prisoners for a good view.

The streets and sidewalks were liued with people, white &nd black, but dc mci.straiions w<Jf> nir.de other than a few taunts andMeers at "Little l)ab," as Marshall is called by the festive small boy. No indignity more than glares *of the curious 'were offered the men, but It could be stWn their humilia tion was all they could year. Arrived at the big double gates leading to the pitson walM the procession, was met by another large co'iunurso of people.
