Professor Jones Claims that Religion Is Endangered by Protective Legislation. Several hundred people assembled atTomlinson Hall, at C o-clock yesterday, to listen to an address by Prof. A. M. Jones, of California, in opposition to Senator Blair's "Sunday-rest bill." Tho Professor was a little tardy in beginning, but he made it up to his hearers later, discussing his subject from 3:15 to 5:45 r. M. Ho announced himself as a Seventh-day Adventist, but stated that he would be as much opposed to a law in favor of keepingSaturdayasho wasto one in favor of keeping Sunday. No man can favor legislation in support of his particular religion without endangering it. If Senator Blair should offer a bill embodying the speaker's religious views, he would endeavor to be tho first to oppose it. As a Seventh-day Adventist ho asserted tho right of every man to be what ho pleased. Men's richts in nlieious matters were guarded by both tho Constitution of tho united fctates and the benptures. Keligious legislation by Congress was prohibited by the organic law, lience it was unconstitutional. If it wero not speciiically prohibited, the clauso reserving rights to the States not delegated to the general government would bo a bar. since no powers had been delegated in that direction. He referred to the delegation of preachers at the national capital. recently,who wanted a religions amendment to keep Catholics out of the pnblic schools as advocating a plan most likely to give Catholics control of such schools, and suggested that if such preachers would pay more attention to preaching Cnristianity and rely less upon proposed legislation t hero would bo a smaller amount of intidelitv in the world. He argued that the Blair bill was anti-Christian as well as unconstitutional, quoting Christ's direction to questioners to "render unto C;esar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God tho things that are God's," and asking if it were right in this instance to do, as Senator Blair proposed, and render the Lord's dav to Ca.sar. Tho proposed bill was taken up by sections, and the speaker urged that it was uncertain and unreasonable, besides savoring of tyranny. He devoted considerable tiino to tracing the origin and history of religious legislation, claiming that it always had its rise and growth in the efforts of church to obtain control of the civil power. In conclusion the speaker referred to tho scriptural argument in favor of tho observance of the seventh da3 and claimed that thero was no commandment from Christ for the observance of the iint day of the week, and stated that pamphlets could bo obtained at the door for ii5 cents each which would throw further light on that subject. He also claimed that not only was tho Iosition taken by the supporters of tho Jlair bill illogical, but that most of their petitions were bogus, and that out of some ionrteen million signatures claimed, only a few hundred were made by individuals. Cardinal Gibbons, letters, for mstance.being accepted as tlie sentiment of over seven million Catholics. Throughout the address the views of a majority of tho audience seemed to coincide with those of the speaker, especially when he took occasion to whack clergymen who had made themselves prominent in tho advocacy of tho Blair bilL Several of these references were applauded vigorously.

NOTABLE CHURCH SEEYICE

President Harrison's Last 3feeting vith His Fellow Church Members. Dr. Matthew L. Haines's Eioquent Reference to the rresident-Elect and the Scenes of Tartiug Other Church Services. At the Virfct PrpJivterian Church, veaterday morning, in anticipation of tho presence of fPTifrnl nnd Mrs. Harrison, thn large audience-room was crowded to its ca pacity. As koou as the doors were op ;n the congregation began to gather rapidly, and long before tho time for services to begin not a seat was to be had. The aisles were crowded with visitors, chairs having been brought in from tho Sunday-school-rooms. General Harrison, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. McKee, was among tho early arrivals, and all eyes were turned upon the distinguished party as they sought their accustomed seats. A Special musical programme had been arranged for the occasion, the choir being reinforced by several good voices, and the rendition of tho anthem at the opening was unusually effective. A quartet then gave the beautiful hymn, "The Shepherds Watch Their Flocks To-night," and Mrs. U. J. Hammond rendered a solo. vNearcr.my God. to Thee." ' Dr. Haines, tho nrntnr. incAr for his text. tho last clauso of tho twentv-necond versa of the seventeenth chapter of the Book of Acts, "Though Ho be not far from every one ot us, for in Him we live and move and have our being," and from this preached an earnest and vigorous discourse on the theme of "The Divine Presence." He drew a Krv"nB Picture of the surroundings amid which the words of the text were spoken, Paul standing on Mars Hill, facing tho Acropolis,on which was the Parthenon,with its statue of Minerva, and tho adjacent shrines erected in honor of all tho gods and goddesses of mythology, with altars to the unknown god, placed there lest through f orgetfulness the anger of some omitted deity might be aroused. He reviewed the words of the apostle wherein he told his hearers that ho came to tell them of tho unknown God whom they ignorantly worshiped, that He had made the world and all things in it, that Ho did not dwell in temples made with hands, nor was he served by the hands of men as though ho needed anything, for ho cave unto all lifo mill brpnth and all things; he was not a deified abstraction inhnitely removed, but very close to each one of us. The nature of God's presence was next considered. He was present as a sustainer. Havintr created the world h nnheldit. His presence in the affairs of nations had been recognized by tho greatest ami wisest ot men. Alter tho revolutionary war Washington declared "I am snrn that there never was a peoplo who had more reason to acknowledge a divine nuernusiuon in tueir anairs man tnose ot the United States, and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency which was so often manifested during the revolution." Not oulv the larco events of tho world, but tho smaller one3 were shaped by His hand. Ho not only makes its laws, but He is in its laws, anil ins presence is not only a personal one in the affairs of men, but to most of us Hois present with a spiritual presence, that is not a theory, not an abstract belief, not a I'uuusopuy, out a inc. "Before these services close," the Doctor said, "I cannot but bear inmiud that which to-dav is nromine.nt in flirt thoughts of 11 all tho fact that this is the last service prior to tho departure from among us of one who for more than a third of a century has been identified with this Christian church as a member and an officer. When new members come to our communion Ave bid them welcome in the name of our God. Certainly it is not unfitting when longtried and honored members go out from us for a season to places of inliueuco and of responsibility otherwhere, that we should tender to them the heartfelt assurance of our God-speed. I am euro it would be a grief to tho members of this church were I to fail to break through the silence that has characterized this pulpit in its relation to the peculiar excitements of the last eight mouths, and permit you, sir. who havo been so long and so intimately associated with us here in Christiau life and work to go out without one word expressive of our earnest, af fectionate wish and prayer. This is not the placo nor the time for words of mero congratulation, however sincere. Our sense of personal esteem and of gratification over your elevation to the chief magistracy of 1110 iaiiuu is iu-uu) uversiiauoweu by the necessity of separation, and especially by the sense of the serious, tho solemn responsibilities that arc to be laid upon you responsibilities which no manou earth is qualified to meet in his own wisdom and strength. For unto you in no small degree will it be given to mllucnco for weal or for woe the interests of sixty millions of people. Yon go forth to meet theso responsibilities carrying with you, as you well know, the unwavering confidence as well as the warm personal regard of your fellow-Christians. We havo learned to believe in you, iu your personal integrity in your tested, established Christiau character. Character is superior to achievement. It is itself the highest achievement. Office without character is nothing. Wo ioy in the anticipation that you will exhibit to the people of this Nation that crowning glory of magistrates and sovereigns a genuine, broad Christian manhood, pure in its purpose, catholic in its spirit, undeviating in its loyalty to duty and to God. "We remember that you are called, not only to bo an ensample, but a leader to the peoplo of this land. When Moses, who, 'as an 01 ganizer and statesman, stands without a peer in all history,' received his commission from Jehovah, asleader of tho chosen nation, he was overwhelmed by tho sense of his own weakness and deficiencies. Unto him Jehovah then spake and gave this all sufficient answer: Certainly, I will be with thee.' "Tho eternal God is the same yesterday, to-day nndforever. Mayyonhearllisvoice speaking unto you those very words He spake unto the law-giver of Israel, girding you for the coming tasks, guarding j-ou from threatening perils and ennabling you to lead this great American Nation forward to higher conditions of freedom and righteousness. In the stormy days of our civil war we recall that in the charge on the field of battle once and again . you led the ranks forward and planted the flag of our country upon the ramparts gallantly won. Now, as the leader and commander of three-score millions of people, we pray Almighty God to grant unto you strength, and courage, and wisdom to lead theso hosts forward in the paths of justice and truth until our standaid shall bo planted on the heights of a Uod-honoring, and therefore enduring prosperity. We know that you have set before as the "polo star" of your "public life," to use your own words, "a patriotic purpose to promote the true glory of our country and the highest good of our people." We are glad in the belief that the righteous hopes inspired by your words and by your life among us will bo justified in days to come. Wo rejoice in the confident expectation that the coming quadrennium will be marked by priceless blessings from the Father of mercies conferred upon our beloved country through your character and administration. "I speak for all the members of this church when I say that we will hold you and yours tenderly in our hearts, and we will remember you at the throne of grace in our prayers, ever beseeching that God of nations unto whom our fathers looked and were lightened, to guide you by His counsels, to bhield j'ou by His providence, to enrich you with heavenly wisdom, and to. make you perfect in every good work to do His will." Dr. Haines, during the delivery of these farewell remarks, spoke with much feeling, and had the close attention of his large audience. General Harrison sat with head slightly bowed, and was much impressed by the solemnity of the occasion. At the conclusion of his remarks, tho pastor closed the services with this prayer: "Almighty aud everlasting God. heaven Is-Thy throne and the earth Thy footstool, and both heaven nnd earth nro full ot Thy glory. Thou alone art the sovereign ruler of nations. Thou fivest th klncdoms oi tho world to whomsoever hoa wilL Thou workcstall things after the council of Toy will. We beseech Thee now to take into Thy holy care Thy eerrant whom Thou hast called to he tha chief magistrate of this people. I.(lu9 him plenteously with tho gtlta of Thy

spirit Lot Thy tvisdora bo hi guide. Let Thino anu be hi ntrengtb. tirect him in nil hi counsel and action to Thy elory and to the wclfavo of thi land, that through him Justice, and truth, nnd peace mar abound; that from hira and tho associated with him in authority there may jro out lnlluencos to develop tlie Mxbct interests of our Nation and to build up in a )'ct nobler way a Christian efvilliation that shall be benediction to generations ytt uulwrn. And together Tith Thy Movant regard, we pray Thee, all the members of hi household. Keep them under tho shadow of Thy wtDC; croTvn their lives with the bleasintraof Thy providence and Thy grace. A they go from ' u. our heavenly Father, we commit them unto Thy care. We make thi our prayer. Wilt Thou, Lord, blea nud keep them: wilt Thou, Lord, make Thy face to bine upon them and b graciou unto them. Wilt Thou, IjotiI, lift up tho light of Thy countenance upon them and give them peace. And now unto Him who Is able to do exceeding abundantly nbove all that we nk or think, be honor and glory through Jcsns Christ, forever and ever. Amen. Just before dismissing tho congregation. Dr. Haines asked thoe present to rise and join in singing "Our Native Home" to tho tune of 'America." The words of the hymn were rendered with , so much pathos that hundreds of tbe andieuco were affected to tears, and both General and Mrs. Harrison were visibly affected. As the congregation passed out all tho members of the church, and many who were not members, went over where General and Mrs. Harrison were standing near the sido entrance and bid them good-hyo. The occasion was one that called forth all tho feelings of the General and his old friends, and many of the farewells were extended in a silent hand-clasp. A largo crowd gathered on tho outside to get a last glimpse of tho familiar features of their distinf uished countryman. The General and Mrs. larrison walked up Pennsylvania street en routo to their home, stopping on tbe way at Dr. Haines's residence to say a linal goodbye to their pastor and his family. The Division of Churches. The services at the Central Christian Church were well attended last night, every available scat on tho lower floor being occupied. Tho pastor, Kev. D. K. Lucas, concluded his series of sermons on ''The Primitive Church and the Church of Today," choosing as his text Matthew svi, 18: "And I say, also, unto thee that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Previously the history of the church had been considered, and tho diverse creeds and dogmas that were instrumental in breaking up its natural and legitimate unity. The primitive church, tho preacher said, existed not as the advocate of any one particular belief as opposed to others, but as a harmonious wnole, with but one idea, unhampered by sectarianism the idea of living up to tho law of God and the example of Christ. This was its original condition; but as time continued and men grew more varied in their tastes, disorder sprang up among them and divisions occurred, not on questions of disbelief, but upon those of method and policy. This gradual change gave rise to tho establishment of individual creeds, and each found many followers glad to adopt some code of laws which seemingly suited their individual cases the more perfectly. This constant division, the preacher continued, has developed into a conditiou that is to-day doing an intinite amount of harm to tho general church of God. It is not so noticeable in great cities, where tho busy work of every-day life demands constant attention, but among the country churches, and even in the villages, no person who takes tho trouble to make an investigation can deny tbe visible eftects of division, made on simple aud joftimes hair-splitting interpretations of Bible truth. There are thousands of homes in the land to-day whero the subject of religion is never mentioned, simply because it may arouse some sectarian discussion, which never results in any real good and more often does harm. "Tho devil never invented anything nearer hell itsel '," said Mr. Lucas, "than that division of belief which causes man and wife, father and mother, or brother and sister to identify themselves with ditFercnt churches. I may sneak strongly on this poiut: but I feel deeply every word I say, and believe its is gospel truth. I know that no man can fail to see tho existenco of this evil. It seems that people are and havo been anxious to make void the word of God by division in their creeds, ,but if they would speak as God speaks and be silent as God is silent, they would aid materially in abolishing the very evil they havo formed and encouraged, and done everything in their power to perpetuate." Tho question, as it presents itself, he further said, is to be considered as a practical one, and resolves itself into whether or not each individual church is identical with that founded by Christ and His apostles. If this is found to be true, then the church, as it exists to-day, is perfect: but if it is deficient when compared to this standard, it ceases at that moment to live up to its ideal. Thero are certain elements that enter into tho perfect construction of a church. They are not established by any human agency. They are distinctly portrayed in the New Testament writings, and as found thero they are not capable of a double interpretation. History sheds but little light on tho subject. These marks of identity must bo compared and contrasted not from . historical records of tho church, but by actual recognition of the New Testiment conditions for the perfect church, which are delineated so clearly that even a child can point them out. There are six marks of identiiv that may bo seen in all organizations that measure up to tho perfect standard, and as such they aro no less true of the church than of any other bodies. Ditteriug in anyone of these six conditions, the organization is lacking. First, tho church must have the same ncad. This is is tho first condition named in the New Testament. Uclief in the same head is the only possible means of establishing unity in faith, and unity in faith is necessary to perfect Christian experience. Tho Christian church to-day recognizes only one head, the Lord Jesus Christ, and places all other beliefs secondary. Tho second condition is a similarity in the confession of faith, which is simply that of belief in Christ. The only measure of faith is its completeness, for a man may believe in everything in the world except Jesus Christ and yet ho is no Christian. The third mark of identity is a similarity of constitution and laws. The sacred writings were tho only laws known to the primitive church, and to this day nothing lias been added. There is a very popular theory tnat the cnurcn can only exist when it has special laws laid down other than those provided for m the Bible, but the theory is false, and if followed out would produce nothing but disruption. The fourth condition of the church provides that it should have the same officers, and these were, in the primitive church, the apostles and tho prophets. Added to these are evangelists, bishops and deacons. Their duties were distinct and well defined. The apostles gave the laws while tho Srophets unfolded thcm. Tho evangelists evoted their energies to preaching the exSlained laws, while the bishops and tho eacons respectively looked after the spiritual and tho material welfare of the churches. This order has never been altered, nor can it bo improved upon. There is no legislative power in the church, but only the executive, which simply carries out the laws laid down by the apostles. The fifth condition is one of identical membership. Nowhere in the Bible do wo find the words adult or infant members, but simply believers. Belief, and not sex or age. is the foundation for membership. The last condition is one of name. Originally there was but one name and that was simply the church, while all its members were Christians. "I am opposed." said Dr. Lucas, in concluding, "to calling myself a Campbellite, because it is following the name of a man. I would no more dare call myself a Campbellite than I would dare profane the name of God. It would be treason to Christ. I stand to-night in a church that calls itself the Christian Church, but that does not signify that there aro not Christians in other denominations. We have no patent on our name, we feel that other churches have a perfect right to adopt our policy should it meet their approval. Why should we not all unite, and merge our creeds into one! Why should wo allow the beliefs of our parent s or our teachers to lead us astray into other lines of faith? Christians never became persecuted until they became divided. We must get to something higher thau being Christians because wo wexo reared in the Christian faith. We must follow loftier motives than those; wo must believe in Jesus Christ and live in the reality of His reliiriou. I want to say a word in favor of tho Young Men's Christian Association, for in its doors no one

creed is recognized; bnt grand as is tlie

There is no doubt 111 my mind but thvt the time is -coming when this will Ie realized; when the one cry will be for unity, and men of all denominations will ernso to fo.low the set dogmas of an independent creed.7 A Parting: witli the Sanday-Scliool. K V. Halford. the private hecretary of President-elect H arrison, has been most attpnttvA to tho ealhi of his church and zealons in its Sunday-srhool work. His Biblecl.i has been a noti ceable one and a bunday was rare when .he was not there to give the class tlio benefit ot his thorough biblical knowledge. Yesterday he wan with t.he class for tho last time, and at rne ciosp m mo exercises of tho school, W. C. AanArs- , Af4iiAi!;ii!H rl;K4 read an expression of Inch regard for the teacher and sorrow at the parting. To this were added brief speeches of esteem and taction by (.-apt. Hitter, John li. Conner. .K V "crviu, . -1. Brown and Dr. Ford. Mr. 1 Ialford responded, and the emotion he felt, now aud then, showed tho strong attachment that existed between hira anil the school, ai vne cioo 4bi tiAntlt iful hvtnn. "God bo With 1011 till we meet Again," was siug. Mr. Halford, as tho school passed out, vnouK nanus with each member, receiving som him and her a God-speed. At Robert Park. Kov.G. II.Adams.of Tucson, A.T..preached, yesterday forenoon, at Roberts P-arkM. E. Church. Mr. Adams has been doing missionary work in tho West for mo.ro than twenty years, though once each jear for twenty-ono years ho has returntd to Indiana to visit his mother, who resides in Clay county. Ho preached from John vii, 33 "And I, if I be lifted up from tho earth, will draw all men unto me." It was a string doctrinal sermon, abounding in etrectiva illustrations of the points made, and preach-ed with great earnestness. A New Organ for St. Patrick's. The work of putting in the new organ of St. Patrick's Church will begin to-day. Tho instrument is a very large and fine one, a two-manual organ containing 723 pipes and twenty-two stops. It was built by Mr. T. B. Sanborn, of this city. TUB CATHOLIC KMGIITS. Interesting Meeting, at Which Much Was Said in Praise of the Society and Its Objects. Masonic Hall was filled with peoplo last night, and hundreds went away unable to get into the social entertainment of the Indianapolis branches of tho Catholic Knights of America, an order tho objects of which aro to promote . benevolence, morality and industry; to unite fraternally all acceptable Catholics; to encourage one another in business; to obtain employment. and to establish and maintain a beiefit fund, from which a sum not to exceed $2,000 shaU be paid at tho death of each member to his family or heirs. These objects were 6tated by Kev. F. H. Gavisk, Tvho 6aid that this order, formed at NashvHJe, Tenn., in 1878, now had i,000 members, o whom 1,500 were in Indiana, about tvya hundred in this city. Hon. T. E. Howard, Senator from St. Joseph county, made a few remarks showing tho advantages of an association of thischaracter. Kev. D. 0'Donaj.Thue, looking over the largo audience, was di jposcd to be humorous, and said ho had not seen anything looking like that siuco Prof. Fowler, tho phrenologist, lectured thero ten years ago; that Indianapolis beat anything in the world, including Rhode Island and Mexico for a free lecture. Ho then pleasantly referred to the growth of the order, although, as he s:id, he had himself been rejected as a member; for though ho had tho sniritual qualification of being a practical Catholic he had beea rejected on account of bodily disqualih' cation, "and yet,", said the speaker, "the examiner who; rejected mo is dead and I have a iiotion to try again." Monsignor Bessonies, who was on the progV.omme for an address, was unable to spea k. except very brietly, on account of a throat" trouble. Kev. Father Haase. O. S. F., spoke in German. The musical numbers on tlie programme were exceedingly good,, those and Charles Schneider. The Court Record. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. No. 13354. Edward Meuer vs. David Corwin. Miami C. C. Affirmed.

Meeting his man in a 6i.vloonon Pine street, Farrell inquired his name, when, receiving a blutf by way cf response, he informed him that he knew his real name and that he was held for a criminal charge. At this stage of t he conversation, two of Murphy's friends approached the officer from the rear and one struck him a heavy blow on the head with a billiard cue, following it up with others about the face and eyes. Farrell was unarmed and but for the interference of tho saloon-keener, would have sufiered further injury. He was removed to his home, his assailants and Murphy making good their escape.

STORY BY AS- INDIANA WRITER
