Booth Tarklngton, author of "The Gentleman from Indiana" and "Monsieur Beaucalre." will leave this city for New York Wednesday. Richard Mansfield soon will return from his vacation to begin the work preliminary to the stage production of "Monsieur Reaucalre," in which he will appear as the resourceful young Frenchman. Mr. Tarklngton will help in producing the play. He will be present at the rehearsals. So far as Is now known. Beaucalre" Is the only play Mr. Mansfield will use next season, though there has been talk of his producing Stephen Phillips's blank-vere drama. "Herod." Early last spring a report came from New York that Mr. Mansfield hesitated About producing "Reaucalre," because he felt the part of the hero was too slight for hirn. It Is presumed that some changes have oeen made In the character, and it is known that Mr. Tarkington has written a mal .act in which Beaucalre returns to France to-wed his cousin.

THE GROWTH OF THE SOUL

riior.Riiss iiitiNc.s it xmv standards OF I.NTLH PItKTATIOX. Sermon Trenched ly Rev. J. Cum mine Smith, of Tabernacle Prealtyterlan Church. The Rev. J. Cummins Smith, rastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, pleached yesterday mornlr.K on "A Grow.nj? Soul Its Own Criterion." He said: "Consider the lilies how they grow. Jesus speaks about men fretted with a thousand anxieties and points to the Illy that grows without a shade of pain as a lesson. The genius of the verse is lost If you do not lay stress on the growth of the lily. It is the growth that keeps it from c'roopinjr and wrinkling. It Is the steady Industry of the plant and Its drain of cloud and air and soil to feed Its Inner life that is the point of application. "Most people reverse this law of Jesus and say, 'Give me exemption from the minute mousing cares of life and I will promise to grow.' And this looks plausible enough. For how can a person eaten up with cares concentrate himself on his Inner history and growth? Lo these not come In solemnly down the crowded platform of our desires like the drunk man crying, 'Make way there?' Do not our Immediate ambitions monopolize us and no mattfr how much we admit the preacher Is right when he insists on the growth of the deeper under life, yet do we not turn away with tht excuse that no man can enjoy the glimpses of Alpine sceneries when he is being bitten by mosquitoes in the marshes below, and he cannot very well enjoy the car ride of ?n evening when clouds of gnats blind his eyes! "Now with all appreciation of the fact that the little things determine our life largely, yet let us reverse this and see that the culture of the inner and tinner life of the soul goes far to determine whether these little things will vex us. If a merchant is of small capital a little loss will unnerve him. He cannot sleep after it. Rut a merchant of safe resources can weather large losses with security. In other words, what a man has in his own name and by his own right will determine how much of a panic he can ride through. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. "If a woman have a great natural and unfailing queenhood and a self poise, she will not be affected by the whims of society as a woman itching and aching to be in some circle. She has her womanhood as her crown and certainly she can afford to be simple. She does not dream of allowing her daughter to drive in a carriage to the school while she herself takes the democratic street car! She does not stint her own dress In order to deck a marriageable daughter! There are mothers who deliberately remain in the background to let their ambitious daughters hjn' before the footlights! and this Is a criminal unselfishness of theirs and too often punishment comes in the form of a daughter putting little value on her mother! And both mother and daughter have this as their sin that they are starving their Inner and richer life! "You know that I never preach this grand old world down. If I did I would give the lie to God's love and would forfeit my own self-respect, but all the more because I grant tho wealth of the world and its power to train us to God If wo know the arl of using it, do I arTlrm that if we don't take care our modern life will become artlflciallzed. skeletonized. Men and women are not really livincr because they have sold out their souls. They have shoes and bonnets and trinkets but they doubt If they have souls often. And to such comes a spiritual insolvency that is pitiable. They are but oyster shells after the oyster is taken out. "Then these people come to worries. All they set their hearts on seems to fade away from them. They have nothing.' Then they are nothing. If a man have not he is not; If a man is not. he has not. "On the other hand there are people who impress you with the idea that if they were stripped of all they now own they would still carry themselves with a high and lordly air.- Why? Because of the surplus and richness of themselves! "When a California stage was being robbed, one woman, vain of her Jewelries, wept; on her diamonds she depended to impress her sisters and embezz'e herself, and now her diamonds were gone. On the same stage another and superior woman with few ornaments but with a rare mind and deep soul gave her little watch away with but little regret. She could haughtily part with her timepiece and fall back on herself. At how much tawdy weakness walks the earth wearing masks and yet unguardedly tearing off the masks and revealing hollowness! How many have a sort of technical knowledge and are ciphers when large diamonds blaze on the shirt bosom? How natural to suspect only vanity and ungenuineness beneath! How many are not fit to die because not fit to live! And so the curse goes on and It will go on till we learn the purpose of life to grow in love and service: to be God-filled, as it were, and then to see how light the weight of woe seems when we are conscious of growing toward God and toward man! LOVE OF WORLD AND GOD. "The quiet growth of our real selves solves another personal problem and it alone does. How far is the love of the world consistent with the love of God? "At once you hear a hundred slipshod answers. One extreme answer treats us as ghosts that feel no claims of clay. ' The other extreme treats us as brutes that have no wing to soar. All the way between are answers that do' not answer and solutions that do not solve. Rut suppose a man launches forth upon active service for the Master, he begins to grow. New tastes, new ambitions, new thirsts, new conquests, new ideals noiselessly form in his heart. He Is drawn out like the telescope skyward. The more he serves the more he grows. The more he grows the more he discovers the possibilities of this world. He learns how far he can go in tho use of things. And mere negative rules go by the boards. "Youth is eager, positive, strenuous. If you tell a charming young girl she must not danco or a lusty young boy he must not play cards, you adopt the policy of retrenchment rather than the policy of development which alone is sane in the long - m. Suppose you put them both on their honor and try to draw out their lntertst in other directions so that they will care less and less for the gay side, then you let their growth decide their choices. But take care while pointing them heavenward not to quench their youth. I like the rosy cheek, the warm human tone. "In all things we find the final cure in the land of positive, sincere and silent progress. Our own unfolding experiences will legislate for us when bold theories and cruel negative rules only puzzle us. 'Consider the lilies how they grow.' "Nor can we close without a hint that ripening character is the final interpreter of Christ and therefore in a sense the ul'reme standard. It is easy to hold that the will of God lies in the Bible, but the interpretations of the Bible are often so foggy and conflicting that it seems a guide that fails to guide. The answer is simple. The Christianized humanity interpreting the Scripture is the ultimate standard. Hence In the years jvt to be. wlnn the mind of the church has mellowed like autumutlme. and when a larger charity has ennobled students, and when a clearer vision of history has unlocked some present mysteries, then men's minds, on a higher plane than now. will be able to see the breath of God as Calin or Augustine never could see it In their crude agts. Then how flimsy will seem the seetarUn divisions! Then how warped and om-sided even our best creeds! Why? Io.ui?e mere intellect is insulhcit-nt to interpret, but a Christianized manhood, an intedeetualized manhood, under the light of long experience, will see into the secret place of God's word and voice new creeds to match the love of God. A mere book, even the I'.ibl is nothing but a book until the enlarged intelligence of the race vivtty it and ex pi in It. May we all move with Jov toward that great era!" MIZZLI.C. TIII2 CARPERS. Hev. Mr. Viller rrficrlbm Methodi He Ye Dorm of the IVord." The Rev. Thomas J. VUlers delivered his last sermon before his summer vacation at the First Baptist Church Inst evening. Next Wednesday Mr. Villers and his family will leave for Ashury Park. N. J., to spend the summer and will return to Indianapolis the first week in September. Yesterday mort.lng he sprke on "Carpers Muzzled." In part he sail: "There are two ways whereby we may slUnce critics. One is by a knowledge of kcrlpture. On that great day of contests vhen Christ' enemies tried to contuse and confute Him, ve are told ilUf. xii, 3

that the pharlsees. having heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together. The word translated put to silence' means 'muzzled.' Jesus muzzbd his critics by Ills knowledge of the Old Testament. They did err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. "A woman, smarting under criticism, remarked that people say about everything but their prayers. I have often thought that people read almost everything but their Bibles. They may be familiar with thn twenty-third psalm, the beatitudes, and the fourteenth chapter of John, but they have never lifted the latch and forced their way Into other scriptures equally as precious. "The New Testament contains two words for 'search when speaking of Bible study. One signifies to look through a series, to ransack, to sift. Thus the Bereans proved their nobility In their eagerness to know the truth. Nothing short of scrutinizing the entire series of divine revelations will answer. Since every scripture is profitable, no scripture can be neglected without loss. What has been said of the liyth psalm is true of the whole inspired volume every blade of grass In this field has Its own drop of heavenly dew. When Jesus exhorted His hearers to 'search' the scriptures He used a term which meant to penetrate into the Old Testament, to posses3 themselves of Its contents. We must look through and dig down, and store up, till the word of Christ dwells in us richly not simply a few promises imprisoned in two or three brain cells, but the whole domain of our mental life memory and conscience so abundantly supplied that our thinking and willing shall accord with the mind which was in Christ Jesus. "On the flyleaf of Spurgeon's Bible was found this inscription: C. H. Spurgeon, 1. The lamp of my study. The light as bright as ever, 1S1. O that mine eyes were more opened, 186t. Being worn to pieces, rebound, 1ST0. The lantern mended and the light as Joyous to mine eyes as ever.' Use your Bible till it is worn to pieces. Then mend the lantern and pray that your eyes may be more opened to its Joyous light. "A godly life is the second way to muzzle carpers. So is the will of God (Peter ii. 15). that by welldoing ye should put to silence the Ignorance of foolish men. It is the same word again muzzle. 'ignorance has an open mouth. It is here personified with a wagging tongue. A drum is noisy because It is empty. Von Moltke was familiar with seven languages and he knew how to hold his tongue in all of them. Inconsistency in Christians furnishes an agreeable topic for foolish men. If one Christian out of ten thousand happens to go wrong tho galnsayer shakes his head virtuously and says: 'I told you sochurch member. He forgets the other d.VJO who went not astray. "Let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel. The paint on Jezebel's face made her all the more hideous. A profession painted, not lived, Is quite as repulsive. What you are, said Emerson, thunders so loud that I cannot hear what you say. Some men will not black their boots cn Sunday, but they do not hesitate to blacken their competitor's reputation on Monday. On Sunday they pray, 'Forgive us our dtbts as we forgive them that are Indebted to us. and on Monday they proceed to demand the last farthing from their debtors. "Tertulllan contrasted the conduct of heathen and Christian. The heathen delighted In the bloody gladiatorial combats in the amphitheater. Christians were excommunicated if they were found In such places. The heathens deserted their nearest relatives in times of plague. Christians mlnlstereil to the forsaken sufferers. The heathens after their battles threw their dead and wounded Into the streets. Christians burled the dead and cared for the wounded. Merlvale cites the holy example of primitive believers as one of the four cause of the conversion of the Roman empire. By welldoing the early church muzzled their critics. Let us imitate their example. Be ye doers of the word. By knowing the word and doing It hang a padlock on the lips of those who criticise God's book and God's church." IICIIO MEETINGS HELD.

Delegate tn Cincinnati Convention Give Their Impressions. In several churches last evening "echo meetings," supplementary to the international convention of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor in Cincinnati last week, were held. The representation sent from Indianapolis was large, and many that were not delegates attended the convention. The entire State was represented by 750 delegates, but It is safely estimated that fully 1.000 attended, as many did not register. Most of the "echo meetings" yesterday were held at the usual hour for the young people's meetings, but a few took up the regular church service hour. The echo meeting at the Seventh Presbyterian Church last night was held ihstead of the regular service. Reports from tho convention were made by Miss Helen Bussell. Mlsa Delia McPherson, Miss Ha McPherson, Miss Hattle Wlshard and Dr. J. G. Wlshard. Miss Emma Roncker, of Edwin Itay Church, who attended the convention, was called upon, and also gave impressions of the big convention. Each of the speakers handled some particular part of the convention, mentioning the interesting features connected therewith. The church sent Rix delegates. The Rev. R. V. Hunter, pastor of the church, will start on his vacation this week, and during his absence John G. Blake, a business man, will occupy the pulpit, beginning with next Sunday. Mr. Hunter will spend two weeks in Washington, D. C, and two weeks in Jersey City. Next Sunday he will preach in the New York-avenue Church, Washington. Dr. Radcliff's church. Beginning with next Sunday there will be no night services at the Seventh Presbyterian Church, but vesper services will be held at 6:30. each Sunday evening until the 1st of September. GEH MAX CIIl'RCII CELEIHIATES. St. John's Evangelical Prosperous at Its Fifth Anniversary. Yesterday the congregation of St. John's Evangelical German Church celebrated its fifth anniversary. The congregation was organized July 13, with twenty-six members, and tho church and parsonage, both handsome, modern structures that cost $10,000, were dedicated Aug. 8. 1897, a year after the congregation was established. The church has enjoj'ed a prosperous growth since Its establishment and now has a membership of 130. The women's society In the church, which has proved an invaluable factor in its progress, has a membership of 130, and the Young People's Society has thirty members. The Sunday school, one of the leading features of the church, now has 3oo members. The congregation was organized by the Rev. Theodore Schory, the present pastor. During his five years as pastor of the congregation he has christened 140 children, confirmed forty, married forty-four couples and has ministered at fifty-one funerals. The church started without any money and assumed J10,(VO indebtedness, half of which has been paid. Special collections were taken at the three services held yesterday and contributions nmountins to over were made, which will be used as a special fund toward liquidating the debt. The morning service yesterday was conducted by the Rev. H. Frigge, of Louisville. In the afternoon, the Rev. Albert Schory, of Vincennes. father of the Rev. Theodore Schory. the pastor, and the Rev. Mr. Frigge preached. Last night the Rev. J. C. Nestel, superintendent of the Deaconess' Hospital, and the Rev. F. Nicklsh. pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical German Church, conducted the services. At all three of the meetings there were large crowds, many visitors being present from other churches In the city. Pnpnl Jubilee Processlonn. As the time for the closing of the papal Jubilee approaches the public proeessions are becoming more frequent. Yesterday afternoon the second visit of the Knights of Columbus took place, and there was also a public procession of the members of St. Patrick's congregation. The latter, numbering about two hundred, assembled at the Sacred Heart Church at I o'clock, headed by the Rev. W. H. Maher. Following this procession came the Knights of Columbus, numbering about twj hundred, and about twice as many of their friends started from the same place about half an hour later. The time for the completion of the Jubilee is Aug. 3. It Is sud by many in authority that persons making Hie jubilee with a society or congregation and not being a member of either chnnot t eligible to the plenary indulgences prescribed by the Pope.

INSURE LIFE FOR CHURCH

EPISCOPAL SOCIETY MAKING CAMPAIGN IX INDIANA. Plan In to En do iv Chnrche, Hospitals and School Explanation of the Scheme. The Church Endowment Society is making a campaign in this State. It is an enterprise of the Episcopal Church. Robert N. Merrltt, of this city, is the general representative of the society in Indiana, and he is assisted by the "local board." composed of Bishop Francis and E. Olcott, of Muncie, and the "advisory board," composed of the Rev. F. O. Grannis, of St. Paul's Church, Richmond; the Rev. Lewis Brown, of St. Paul's Church, Indianapolis; the Rev. J. E. Sulger, of St. Stephen's Church. Terre Haute, and C. E. Brooks and Aqullla Q. Jones, of this city. The patron of the national society is the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in America, the Rt. Rev. T. M. Clark. The president is Bishop Adams, of Easton, Md., the secretary Is the Rev. E. W. Hunter, of New York. The headquarters of the society is in the Church Missions House in Brooklyn. Lewis S. Rich is business manager of the society. Mr. Rich explains the purpose of the society in this way. "One of the main objects of the society," said Mr. Rich, "is to raise endowments by means of life insurance for the benefit of churches. Its field, however, is not limited to churches, and although the originators of the society are prominently identified with Protestant Episcopal affairs, it is in the broadest sense nonsectarlan. Much has been said about this new movement, but the accounts so far published have told only in a limited way the real purpose of the organization. SOCIETY OF WIDE SCOPE. "The idea of insuring one's life for the benefit of a church is not a nw one, but it has not been practiced to any great extent. The work of the Church Endowment Society Includes soliciting for life insurance on the endowment and life plans for the benefit of churches of any denomination, hospitals, orphan asylums, schools, homes and all educational and charitable institutions. It acts as the intermediary between the insurance company and the person to be insured, gives advice as to the best means to secure the endpwment, the best forms of policies, and acts, in a word, as an expert adviser on this class of endowment. Tho organization also acts as trustee for the endowment funds, if, for any reason, the person insured prefers to have the money held in trust for the church or other beneficiary rather than have it paid directly into the church treasury. "The society has passed the experimental stage and the success thus far attained is very gratifying. We now have representatives in all parts cf the country and in some sections of Canada. In each large town or city local boards are established which will advise any one wishing to consult them. That this new plan of endowment Is being well received is Indicated by policies already taken out and by the fact that a number of large Institutions have the matter under consideration. "Some years ago certain ecclesiastics of high standing in the councils of the Vatican approached the representatives of a well-known life insurance company with a proposition to form an organization somewhat similar to the present Church Endowment Society, with the Pope at the head of it, but at that time the plan was not considered feasible. Since then the possibilities of life insurance as applied to modern needs have become so much more widely understood that when the plan was again proposed, this time by ecclesiastics and laymen of another church, it was acted upon at once with Wie result you see. "It was the intention to limit the uses of the proposed Vatican society to the needs of the Roman Catholic Church, but the Church Endowment Society is much broader in its scope and It Is not intended to limit Its plans any more than is necessary for homogeneity." AS APPLIED TO CHURCHES. The Rev. E. W. Hunter, in a booklet issued by the society, says: "Why should not church members insure their lives In favor -of . their respective pirUhes? The parish church, to which we contribute a definite sum every week, month or year, as the case may be, will not always be able to rejoice in our living presence. It may be that the location of the parish church will become, by reason of removals, a cause for a decrease in income, pr it may be that the people in the parish will become poorer. Better than a memorial of brass or glass would be an insurance which would begin, or add to, a fund, the interest on which to be applied to the expenses of the parish. If a large number of parishioners would insure their lives for such amounts as they felt able to carry in favor of a fund, the interest on which only ßhould be used for parish expenses, we would soon have no weak parishes." "There are 5.000 parishes of one oommunion in the United States with an aggregate of 675.000 communicants, upon whose lives at an average age of thirty-five an insurance for a minimum of 51,000 each could be obtained at an average annual cost of 35 If physically sound. If in each parish rive members only could be Induced to plede themselves to pay, say, $30 per annum in premiums on insurance for the benefit of the church it would produce within the lifetime of a generation the sum of $25.000.000. Cut down If you will the number of men who could be induced to try it. Say only one man In each parish should do so and the fund would be $3,000.000. Suppose some men could only subscribe for $500 insurance. Are there not others who would take $2,000, $10.000, $50.000 and upward?" RAILWAY MUDDLE. N'evrfonndlnnd and Contraetor Ready to Grapple for Supremacy. ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland, July 14. Last Friday the Newfoundland Cabinet sub mitted the final draft of the modified rail way arrangement to Mr. Reld, the con tractor, and his answer is expected to-mor row or Tuesday. He is obliged to consult with his associates in London and Mont real. 1 he accepts the proposal, which is a compromise, legislation to give it effect will be introduced in the Legislature during the present week. If he refuses hostile legislation Is probable, as the session of the Legislature has already been prolonged unduly awaiting the determination of this Issue. IN SOLEMN STATE.

STUDENTS' MANIFESTO Fans the Flame of Anti-Clerical Feeling: In Mexico. MEXICO CITY. Jily 14.-Students to-day Issued a fiery manifesto against the Roman Catholic Church. They say a congress composed of educated young men of the country will soon assemble to take action on church matters. The government will be asked to confiscate all property found to be held by the clergy or their agents, the proceeds to be applied to the payment of the national debt. The students call cn all Mexicans to arise and smite the church, and declare they will raise the standard of revolt against the church above the sepulcher of Juarez and will continue the antl-clerlcal propaganda initiated in the most enlightened nations on the globe. There are fears of a renewal of the anticlerical disturbances on the ISth Inst., which is the anniversary of President Juarez's death. To-day It Is announced that every worklngmen's society will be in the procession. Some portions of the manifesto are so violent that the newspapers have refused to print them. Father Icaza now repeats his denial of the charges against him. and the ladles' societies under his direction have issued an address declaring full belief in his innocence.
