PULPIT OOMMSNTS Real at th» Chriatian Chnrah <>n Sunday •vaninj, May 3, HMS, by Pastor B. F. Vaughan. Tint arrt’ATioN in cvsa. The Cuban quaation which haa bwn lb* ■cape goat of jin<o ami th* promolar of many •ipmaiona of r»al or fancied aympathy for an oppraaaad |>eople will aaaume a new a«pect If ra|<orta from the Mat of' war are correct. < »ne of the great diffieultiea that he* •tood in the way of Cuba’* freedom in this laat •truicgla, *• the fact that the in•urrection ia under the direction of a veritable aoldiar of fortune and political adventurer who ia not truated by many of the people who really deaire Cuba'* independence. lien. <iomet who baa been the leader of the prvaent insurrection, haa been looked upon with ao much diatrual that manv of the beet citiwna who have always been identified with Cuba’* atrugicleo, have held aloof, preferring Hpaniab tyranny to the domination of auch an unreliable government u would be formed by Gomez and hia followent. It ia now reported that Gomez haa been taken aerioualy ill and haa retired from •ervice. The fact that he waa allowed to retire and proceed acroaa the ialand without moleatation by the Spaniah soldiery when he had been outlawed, gives color to the rumor that hia malady ia an infection from a touch of Hpaniah gold, and that he haa turned traitor to the cauae he once eapouaed. Should the report of hie retirement prove to be correct, the cauae will gain not a little by it, and ahould other anil better hand* take the direction of the! revolution there may be results that are very much desired by the friends of polit-' ical liberty. DU. BABBOWS One of the results of the much talked of Parliament of Religions during the World's Fair will soon be watched with great interest by many Christian Americana. Dr. John Henry Barrows lately of Chicago, under whose direction the par- ! liament was such a success, has been selected to go to India and deliver a series of 1 lectures on Christianity to the educated Hindoos in the great center of that country. Tbis is a new departure, as heretofore thia class has been reached only in cidentally by missionaries who have been sent to the lower classes. He goes to present the Gospel of Christ to these people as the only hope of the individual and of the world. If his farewell address given in the' City of New York More sailing to Europe on his way to India be an earnest of his work in India the ones to whom he goes will be fortunate endeed in hearing masterly presentations of the Gospel of Christ But nevertheless, it is an ei|>eriment. and and that will be watched with great interest by our Christian people. This will simply be another opportunity for edcated and priviliged classes to accept something 1 subversive to conservation and caste which all education not Christian produces. It 1 was the testimony of Bishop Thobum of India, who visited here last fall that the ho[>e of the success of missions in India lay I in reaching the hearts of the common people with the Gospel of Christ. But whatever the seeming result of Dr. Barrows’ work, the real results will no doubt more than justify the experiment, for the masterly oi hia addresses on the evidences of Christianity will no doubt have a reflex influence on the country that sends him out I that will make the experiment worth while TAXA ION. During this month and the next a representative of the state of Indiana, wil. come to every citizen of Drcatur and practically to every one an inducement to ‘•lay perjury on his soul,” which induce- ! ment will be readily accepted by not a few, not of us of course, but of the other ciliJ zens of Decatur. This man is a most excellent citizen and law abiding man and in doing what he does, he is simply carrying out the instructions of the law that creates the oflice which he holds, tor he is only the tax as-essor of the township. When one lielieves that there are those who report hundreds of dollars worth of property ! where they ought to report thousands and ; will perjure themselves in swearing that the report is correct, he begins to long to see the tax reform fever that has broken | out in Illinois become widely epidemic i In the city of Chicago the office of assessor was next in value to that of aiderman, by i which on a salary of $3 a week men have saved as much as SIO,OOO a year, but a prospect of bankruptcy staring the city in the face has induced the mayor to act. A committee of three appointed by him three months ago made a report of revaluation of the real estate lying north of Twelfth street, and the report changes the value of the property from $40,000,000 to $438,000,. ; 000. This report will be used by the mayor in a message to the city council. Not only is Chicago awakening but the whole state is being troubled in away that bodes no good to the wily tax dodger. The civic federation of Chicago is heading a movement whereby a committee of thirty ! representative business men of the entire I state are to gather material to be used to beer upon the next legislature to induce it to pass better tax laws. Gne of the requirements of every tax law should be that the assessor’s report should be published in full so that every community could pick out the purjuriug tax dodgers. Dies. HABPBH AND HENSON.

the rebuke itwlf but becauae it i» merited. In the Baptut brotherhood there i» evidence of a lick of harmony lietween, prominent member*. Dr. Harper of the University of Chicago has long been looked upon by many relixioua teachere ae an unsafe guide in th>o)ogical matter*. Hia utterance* on the subject of higher critic-, iam have subjected him to some very unkind criticism and to the minds of. many, these utterances reveal very little faith iu the Bible as the Word ot God. 1 heae critics io the main have directed their shafts to Dr. Harper ti e the h gher critic and it has been reserved for Dr. P. 8 Henson, pastor of the F irst Baptist church i of Chicago, to deliver a decidedly adverse | criticism on Dr. Harper the president as well as Dr. Harper the higher critic. In ’ Kansas City the worthy pastor recently gave utterance to some vigorous criticisms of Dr. Harper and the Unsversily of Chicago. These critieims being published he thought beet on >a't Sunday to place himself cleany on record a* to his opinion of the theological status of the university and iu president. From expressions of regret that Lr. Harper should have given utterance to so many views contrary to the authenticity of the Bible, and that these expressions should not only do much to unsettle the religious faith of the people, i but shou,d give strength and point to the ! criticism and objections of skeptic* and agnostics, he passes to a severe condemua- . tiou of President Harper in his control of the University of Chicag >. He chargea I Dr. Harper with being personally reaponaible for the selection of a faculty, many of whom are agnostics, whose teachings and examples would tend to undermine the i foundations of evangelical Christian faith. Thus a Baptist university, supposed by many to voice the highest thought of the Baptist |>e»ple becomes the center of a decidedly materialistic tendency, langerous to the faith of the people. This tendancy Dr. Hensen emphatically repudiates in his criticisms. These criticisms, some of which have come with more or less force from men of other denominations, have added force and point when coming from one of the honored and influential members of ihe brotherhood to which DrHarjier belongs Coming thus from the source they do come from, thev rathergive heart to those of our unversed in the mysteries and mystifications of higher criticisms, would very much dislike to see a considerable portion of the teachings of such estimable jieople as the Missionary Baptists are, come to be so much in line with Paine. Ingersoll and the rest as the teachings of Dr. Harper seem to be. Erie Lines excursion to the Pro 'hibition National Convention at ; Pittsburg, Pa , May 21 to 2t>, re turn limit May 30.
