He was a captain in the British army and wrote plays in his leisure hours. He tried In vain to sell his plays to London managers until, at last, "His Excellency the Governor" was acted, and since then he has prospered. "A Royal Family,' in which Annie Russell acted at English's last fall, was Mr. Marshall's second success. The situations in his comedies have the merit of seeming reality and his dlalouge is tfrse. Mr. Drew is one of the best actors this country has produced; he is as much the master of a delicate scene on the stage as William Dan How-ells and Henry James are of difficult situations In Action and criticism, and he has their genius for naturalism. His company is an excellent one. and in It is his daughter Louise, who will be seen for the first time in Indianapolis. MThe Chaperon Company.

HIS FAREWELL SERMON

DU. HAINES HEARD IlKFOKH LEAVING FOR A LONG VACATION. Ills Subject Was "Memories and Anticipations" Rev. Tippy on Liquor Reform Other Sermons. The Rev. M. L. Haines, of the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday morning preached his last sermon before leaving for a six months' vacation and trip in Europe. There was a large congregation, and at the close of th? services farewells were said and best wishes were extended for a pleasant and happy journey. The subject of the sermon was "Memories and Anticipations," taken from a thought expressed In the fifth verse of the twentythird Psalm: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over." In part he said: "Literature that lasts is the expression of life in fitting language. This twenty-third Psalm is one of the finest and sweetest utterances In literature of thankful, restful confidence in God. It was a confidence developed hy long years of experience. The Psalm is a song of grateful remembrance of past years Issuing in confident trust for the future. The very tone of this Psalm evidences to its having been composed by King David in the latter part of his long life. "Here, then, we behold the Hebrewmonarch in his palace in Jerusalem in his old age sending his thoughts back over the past. The scenes of the long ago rise before him as vivid pictures. Elderly people often have very distinct recollections of places and experiences in their early life. "He who is now a king was once a shepherd boy near Bethlehem, and thera came to him visions of that boyhocd home, the green pasture lands about it, the streams coming down from the hills and the shaded valleys where he led his flock in those early days. YV hat peaceful, happy days they were unvexed by cares! lie remembers how the Divine Shepherd led him as into green pastures and beside still waters. There are rflany here who can look back upon such experience In the early life 'the olden time, when life was smooth as the poet's rhyme.' ' "But now in the latter part of the Psalm the imagery of the shepherd and the sheep and the quiet pasture lands fades away and there emerge the visions of other scenes from the past. 'Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.' The vision is now of a host and his guest, and for that guest a table is spread. 'Thou anointest my head with oil.' The host with true Oriental hospitality shows his esteem for his guest by anointing him with delicate fragrant perfumes. 'My cup runneth over.' lie gives him not merely enough for his necessities, but an overflowing abundance of that which cheers. "All this is not in some quiet home. It Is out in the wilderness and enemies are in sight. The gleam of their armor can be seen and the shrill sound of their trumpets can be heard even while the feast is going on. Strange vision, so you say. And yet It Is a memory picture of the long ago. Vividly it brings back those experiences in David's life, when leaving his father's peaceful home and the sheep folds he joined first the army and then the court of King Saul. LIVED A PERILOUS LIFE. "Afterward driven out from that court for seven stormy years he lived the perilous life of a hunted refugee among the hills of southern Palestine. How full those years were of strenuous activities and hardships and dangers. By perfidious Thilistlne bands and by merciless soldiers of vindictive Saul he was pursued hither and yon. When he rose in the morning from his hiding place where he had slept high upon a mountain side he could see In the valley far below the smoke of the campttre of his enemies. But he recalls now also how amid all those perils the Lord had acted toward him the part of generous host to his guest. He had providentially given him that which fed and refreshed his spirit. He recalls how there were given to him during that period the best friends he ever had. And what cheers the heart of man more than loyal, sympathetic friends? "During those years of outlawry there were given to the refugee chieftain those heroic-hearted comrades who were drawn to him by the courage and nobility of his spirit. "And besides. David learned deeper lessons of the divine presence and providential goodness during those seven troublous years than he had ever learned before. "This, then, is the truth brought before us in tho latter part of this memory song. It points to those special provisions for strengthening and cheer which God furnishes for those who are faithful to Him in the midst of the anxieties and struggles and perils of life. God's providence is now working in that way In many a life. On the moral anil spiritual side we all find difficulties to overcome perils to shun and foes to light. And just here is one of the paradoxes of true living. JOY AND SORROW CO-EXIST. "Joy and sorrow coexist, anxiety and confidence dwell together In the same heart. These hearts of ours have mingled seemingly incongruous elements. Yet in the very mid.-t of these environing perils to body, to fortune, to family and to faith, there may be. banquets enjoyed that fill the heart with gladness. Part of that Inward feast is an approving conscience. Paul, in a time cf outward trouble, said: For our rejoicing is this the testimony of our conscience.' Shakspeare, the supreme pott of the conscience, sets forth in the lives of his characters its varied workings, now piercing the heart of the wrongdoer as with 'a thousand swords' and again 'felt within as a peace above all earthly dignities.' "The human heart is. indeed, 'a harp of a, thousand strings,' and how they vibrate to music when touched by the 'well done of an approving conscience! The great thing impressed upon us is that we ought not to allow the anxieties and perils common to our outward life ar.d deter us from seeing and enjoying the good which God places within our reach. The time will never come in this world when all fear and peril will be removed from our environment, and the most of what we enjoy must be enjoyed in the presence of perils." Dr. Haines and his family will leave foi New York Wednesday. The two Misses Haines will remain with relatives in New York, and Dr. and Mrs. Haines will sail on the steamer Aller March 15, and expect to arrive in Naples March 25. They will spend several weeks in Italy, then go to Nice and then to Switzerland. They will return home by way of Paris and London, and expect to arrive in New York about July 1. They will then spend the summer, as usual, at Cayuga lake. New York, and will be home on or before Oct. 1. The congregation of the church Is planning to secure a permanent pastor during Dr. Haines's absence, but no selection has yet been made. TEMPERANCE RE FOR 31. HfT. Tippy Discusses Conditions In This nnd Other Countries. The Rev. Worth M. Tippy last night preached the first of his series of sermons on temperance, reform. He said the world Is a great temperance laboratory, and the experiments made in the different sections should be generally considered by all interested in temperance reform, adopting the successful methods achieved in each locality. He mentioned the various phases of temperance reform In England, Norway and Sweden, France, Switzerland and Russia. His remarks were particularly confined to Russia, where the government has assumed control of all the liquor traffic. This government, he said, has undertaken the most thorough method in temperance reform of any country in the world. The attention of the government, he said, was attracted especially by the peasant class, who were becoming degraded under the system of liquor traffic. Indebted to the saloon keepers and losing their homes. The government had a. two-fold purpose In taking up the liquor traffic, he said, the first being from a purely philanthropic motive to rescue the peasants, and the second because it was sadly in need of revenue. In is:5. he said, the government' abolished all the saloons, or purchased them, in four provinces, and last July the reform was extended to all provinces of the Ural mountains. and now it is proposing to extend It over Siberia and all of Russia. The system of dispensing liquor is through government shops and agents who sell on small

commissions, all of the liquor being labeled and the price printed on each label. The requirement was that there should be no drinking on the premises where it Is sold. The effect of .this was to cause men to drink at home instead of in the salooff. With the system once established, Rev. Tippy said, the government revenue was soon enormous. It expended $W,C)0 in abolishing the liquor distilleries and saloons and reserved $,W""..m for salaries. The revenue in 1'1 from the traffic, he said, brought the government $20" .(.A or 4") per cent, on its investment. Notwithstanding this revenue, he said, the government is trying to establish a substitute for the saloon, and this year has planned to expend ,:,'V) for that purpose. "The most dangerous side of the public ownership of the liquor business," he said, "is when it begins to debauch the conscience of the public, just the same as it does men. It is usually noticed that when a man enters the liquor business, be he ever so honest, he becomes debauched and Is soon willing to violate any law short of murder, out of a desire to get money. I do not say that all men engaged in the liquor business are so debauched, for I have known some men to conduct their places of business lawfully, but generally he will violate any law. The same danger lies before the state. When the government sees that a large amount of money is derived from the liquor business it is apt to devise plans for extending its sale. On that account the profits must be turned aside or reduced or placed In the hands of the temperance reform societies and let the saloon work its own destruction." In conclusion he said the temperance workers had a long, hard struggle before them, and that it would be many years before a solution of the liquor problem could be accomplished. - CREEDS REPUDIATED.

Rev. Crosley Delivers a Sermon on a Much-Mooted Topic. The Rev. Marion Crosley delivered a sermon at the Central Universalist Church last evening on "The Whitewashing, Repairing, Interpreting and Repudiating of the Creeds." His text was the sixteenth verse of the ninth chapter of Matthew. In part he said: "The changing, modifying, readjusting and reinterpreting of creeds still goes on. Practically all the old creed3 are repudiated. They are not heeded or followed in the daily workings or life of the churches associated with them. The saying, 'A wise man changes his mind, a fool never,' might be applied to a pood many of the churches and members thereof. Fifteen hundred years is a long while for so-called Christian churches to hold on to the thoroughly pagRn doctrine of endless torture in a liquid lake of fire. It must be acknowledged that the churches are not honest in giving encouragement to statements of belief they have come to ignore In the reception of members and in their every-day life. This method of sailing under false colors will react. The churches will suffer for it. Their trials are beginning. Our Presbyterian neighbors are now wrestling with a creed the general public has no further use for and their own church has to all intents and purposes outgrown." Coming of Prince Henry. A special song service was given last night In Roberts Park M. E. Church. It was given by 'the choral society of the church. The pastor, the Rev. C. E. Bacon, in a five minutes' sermon, compared the coming of Prince Henry and the first coming of Christ. Dr. Bacon said the coming of Prince Henry stood for better understanding between this country and Germany in regard to commercial treaties. The coming of Christ stood for a better understanding of men with God. The prince stood for princely character; all that was noble. Christ was princely in character ar.d also stood for all that was noble. Prince Henry is the representative of his brother, the Kaiser, in this country; Christ represented His father in this world. Church's Debt Wiped Out. At a meeting of the trustees of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, in West Indianapolis, on Saturday night it was decided to raise money to wipe out the church's debt of $900 and build an addition for Sunday school purposes, made necessary by the present limited facilities. Yesterday the pastor. Rev. Oeorge S. Henninger, through his personal efforts, raised $1.275, a sum sufficient to liquidate the present indebtedness and give a nucleus for the Sunday-school addition. The raising of additional funds will be in the hands of a committee. Orfcanlnt Ilovey Remembered. The congregation of Grace Methodist Church last night presented their organist, O. H. Hovey, with a solid gold watch chain and a silver-mounted cane, with resolutions of appreciation of his service. The resolutions were signed by all of the members of the church. CUT DOWN A CHERRY TREE JAMES J. AR3IENTR0UT CHARGED "WITH GRAND LARCENY. The 3Inn that Emulated Georgre Washington Says He Got Permission from Street Commissioner. James J. Armentrout, of 2943 North Illinois street, who was arrested yesterday by Detectives Colbert and Haust r, is charged with grand larceny the theft of a wild cherry tree. He admitted taking the tree, but said it was under authority of Street Commissioner Evans. The tree was the property, it is claimed, of Dr. Edson, former pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, who had cared for and watched over it for many years. The tree was six feet in diameter at the base, and was about forty feet high. About Feb. 22 it disappeared, and it was for a few days thought that someone had been emulating in a practical manner the traditions of fiction, which Is to the effect that George Washington used his "little hatchet" on a wild cherry tree. Fiction tells the story in a manner to leave but little doubt that George left the tree beside the stump. In this case the fact that only the stump was left gave rise to the belief that the "little hatchet" had been used for profit. Dr. Edson valued the tree at $100. In fact, he said he would not take that much for it. The matter was reported to the detective department and turned over to Colbert and Houser fcr Investigation. After visiting all of the sawmills they found there was but one, that of Long & Knight, at Thirteenth street and the L. E. & W. tracks, that handled cherry lumber. There it is used for making veneer. Inquiry there developed the information that a large cherry tree of the wild variety had been purchased about the date for wild cherry trees to be cut down with "little hatchets." This tree was said to be a particularly fine specimen. After inquiry among many of the employes they learned the name of the driver that hauled the cherry log, and through him the nam rf the man that helped cut it down, and through this man the name of Armentrout, who ordered It cut dDwn. The tree was on a lot near Thirteenth and Nice streets. Armentrout. It was learned, went to a family living nearby and asked if they owned the tree, and he was told they did not. He then went to the street commissioner, and. after telling him the tree was in the street, got an order to cut it down. He is charged with grand larceny, and was released after furnishing bond of Jl.OuO. The Handsomest Jail. New York Press. The Pittsburg jail from which the Piddle brothers escaped Is the handsomest prison in the United States. It was built from designs by Richardson, the famous Boston architect, whose genius has so many monuments to his memory in the newer buildings of Harvard University. But of what use is a handbome jail to keep prisoners in. if the warden's handsome wife fails in love with them and lets them out?

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

CHAIRMAN JAMES P. GOODRICH RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON. He Had an Interview with President Roosevelt Other Visitors at the Hotels. James P. Goodrich, chairman of the Republican state committee, arrived in the city yesterday noon from a trip East. He went to Philadelphia on business and stopped off at Washington for a visit with the Indiana delegation In Congress. While In Washington Mr. Goodrich saw most of the Indiana congressmen and al?o had a little "visit" with President Roosevelt. The President showed considerable interest in the political situation in Indiana, and Chairman Goodrich was able to enlighten him regarding the situation generally. The chairman gave the President reasonable assurances that Indiana would be in the Republican column again this year. Chairman Goodrich enjoyed his visit In Washington immensely. He left for Winchester yesterday evening, but will return here tomorrow. EDWARD EGGLKSTOX IN TOWS. Author of the Hoosler Schoolmaster' Talks of His Plans. Edward Eggleston, one of tho most famous authors of the country, was at the Dcnlson Hotel last night, on his way from New York to his former home at Madison, where his wife has been for some time with a sister who is very ill. Mr. Eggleston's delightful portrayal of Hoosier life in such stories as tho "Hoosier Schoolmaster" and "Roxy" has endeared him to the hearts of Indianlans and has made him famous in this country and Europe. Mr. Eggleston is now at work on a school history of the United States. When he has finished this work he will be less active in the literary world. "I am tired and I want to rest," he eald last night. He has not written a novel for ten year, "The Faith Doctor" being his last. Mr. Eggleston Is sixty-four years old. His summers he spends at his place at Lake George, and in the winter he spends a good part of his time in New York. Mr. Eggleston talks interestingly of his work. He says "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" is the best selling novel he has ever written. This story was produced in 1S71 in New York many years after the author had left Decatur county, where the scenes of the story are laid. At the time he wrote the story he was editing a periodical published in New York called "Hearth and Home." One day one of the proprietors came to him and asked him if he could write a Hoosier story on the plan of Charles Dickens's stories. He went to work and produced the "Hoosier Schooll master" in serial form, publishing it in Hearth and Home. After the story had been running for a time Orange Judd, one of the proprietors, sent for him to come Into his office. He told him he feared the story he was writing was offensive. He pointed out to Eggleston that allusion was made to "dirty pots and kittles" in the story, and he believed this would be distasteful to the women. He said that Mrs. Judd aid not like it. "Well, what would you have me do," asked Eggleston. "refer to them as 'soiled pots and kittles?" Mr. Judd had but little more to say, and the "Hoosier Schoolmaster" was completed. Mr. Eggleston says he has sold the most of his stories to publishers for 55,000 each and has received royalties on the sales. The "Hoosier Schoolmaster" has been printed in French, and in both languages the sales have reached over 200,000 copies. The story was printed in book form by English publishers before it was revised. Mr. Eggleston says they printed it without asking permission, "stealing" it from Hearth and Home. An amusing story is told in connection with the English editions. When Mr. Eggleston wrote the original story he did it hastly and some errors crept in. One was in connection with the character- "Bud Means." The original story told of an occasion when "Bud" started out In the snow to see his sweetheart, and when he arrived at the house the hollyhocks were blooming. Of course It was discovered that hollyhocks could not bloom while the snow fell before the story was put in book form in this country. It was not corrected in England, however, and the publications in that country gave this startling information regarding the virtues of the American climate. Mr. Eggleston is not rugged and does not enjov good health. He has been a great sufferer from gout, but has performed great quantities of work in spite of hl3 affliction. He was formerly a minister, but left the pulpit at the age of forty on account of ill health. He hopes to write an autobiography before laying down the pen for good. A MAN OF CHARACTER, H ott Col. John C. Wineate Qnlt the Tobacco Habit. ."The only way to do a thing is to do it," remarked Col. John C. Wingate, poet, philosopher and tax commissioner. Colonel Wingate spent Sunday in the city at the Denison Hotel. A good many years ago the colonel was an inveterate tobacco chewer, but now he doe's not touch the weed. He quit it while he was a young fellow, before he was married, and he has always been glad he did. The colonel left off tobacco in rather a unique way. It used to be his habit to take a generous chew the first thing on arising in the morning. It was as natural for him to get his tobacco box out of his trousers before he put them on as it was to make his toilet In the morning. One Sunday morning he arose early, and, as was his usual wont, he drew out his old silver tobacco box. He threw back the lid and found his box empty. He realized that he had allowed the supply to run out, and this was a great disappointment to the colonel. He proceeded with his toilet, and in a few moments it occurred to him that he had not taken his usual chew. He sought the tobacco box, and again found it empty. "This is strange," thought the colonel, remembering that he had opened the box a few minutes before. "Am I losing my mind?" he asked himself. He went on dressing himself, but before he had completed his toilet he sought the tobacco box again. Of course, there was no tobacco there, and the colonel again remembered that he had done the same thing twice before. This really alarmed him, for he realized how completely he was under the control of the habit. Then and there the colonel made a resolve, and ne made it in rhyme. It ran like this: "Mr. Tobacco, I propose to see Whether I am running you Or You , Are Running Me." As the colonel spoke these poetic words he looked long and lovingly at the old silver box and then tossed it aside. "I have never taken a chew of tobacco since," he remarked in relating the story, "and I reiterate once more that the only way to do a thing is to do it." ELKS ENTERTAINMENT Enthusiastic Meeting: of the General Committee at the Grand Hotel. The general arrangements committee for the annual Elks' entertainment to be held at English's Opera House on March 24 and 25 held a large meeting at the Grand Hotel yesterday afternoon. Reports were had from the different subcommittees showing that progress la being made, and that the entertainment this year promises to surpass those of previous years. The first part of the show will be the old-time minstrel entertainment, with Russell Powell and Harry Porter on the principal ends. The bones and tambos are George Rubens, Edward Sourbier, Tift Hessling and Paul Kraus. Jr. The Interlocutor Is Joseph E. Bell. The first part will cloe with an operetta under the direction of Mrs. Walter Fugate. There will be a chorus of thirty voices, made up of some of the best singers from some of the church choirs of the city. The director Is Herman Arndt, leader of English's Opera House Orchestra, assisted by Samuel Cooley, leader of the Grand Opera House Orchestra. The tecond part of the entertainment is an olio, to be made up of sketches by professionals from

the different theaters of the city. The chorus is now holding frequent rehearsals, and to-night, at the club's new quarters, there will be a general rehearsal, participated in by the minstrel performers, as well as by the chorus. A good many tickets are being sold, and reserved seats will be obtained at the box office on March 2J.

EDITOR J. A. KAITZ IN TOWN. He Attended the Great Newspaper Banquet In Xew York City. J. A. Kautz, postmaster at Kokomo, and editor of the TVibune, of that city, was in Indianapolis last night on his way home from a trip to New York. While In the metropolis Mr. Kautz attended a dinner given by the New York Staats Zeitung in honor of Prince Henry. The dinner was given to the representatives of the daily press of the United States. Mr. Kautz says it was the largest gathering of newspaper men ever held in the United States, and the assemblage was a most brilliant one. Mr. Kautz says the banquet cost the Staats Zeitung $30,000. On his way home Mr. Kautz saw evidences of tho violent storm that recently visited the Eastern States. "Along the main line of the Pennsylvania railway, from Harrlsburg east." said Mr. Kautz, "the forest trees are broken, and miles and miles of telegraph poles arc broken off. the wires lying entangled In the mud. The Schuylkill liver, near Philadelphia, is so high that railroad traffic is interfered with. Our train was six hours late in arriving here on account of the high water." In alluding to Ninth district politics. Mr. Kautz said: "The district was reasonably close until Howard county was added by the last Legislature. With our 1.500 Republican majority it will be an easv proposition for the Republican nominee for Congress." A Lake County Man. George P. Lewis, of East Chicago, who took an active interest in the bill providing for a ship canal In Lake county in the last Legislature, was in town last night. Mr. Lewis says the harbor that is being built at East Chicago is nearlng completion and will cost in the neighborhood of $25.000. Mr. Erdlitz, who represented Lake county in the House last winter, has left that locality, and it is understood that Representative Beckman, who represented Lake and Jasper, will succeed Erdlitz. Pepper Cracks n. Joke. Clerk Pepper, of the Denison, is winning fame as a humorist. "We have a wolf, a crane, a bear, a drake, a fox and a roach in this hotel to-night," he Baid. Then he referred the crowd that stood about the desk to a list of names he had taken from the register. With a seductive smile he pointed to the following: V. M. Wolf. St. Louis; J. M. Crane. Pittsburg; B. W. Bear, Chicago; Joseph Drake, Louisville; M. M. Fox, New York; W. II. A. Roach, St. Louis, i MannRer of Charleston Inn. W. A. Holt, room clerk of the Grand, has taken charge of the Charleston Inn, at 51 North Meridian street. Mrs. Gray. who has been in charge of the house, has taken a residence, 161 East Michigan street. Mr. Holt will continue his connection with the Grand. LIFE ULTIMATE REALITY EDWARD J. CANTRELL PREACHES ON "THE NEW SYNTHESIS." God's Word Not Alone in the Bible, hat in the Woods, Flowers and Streams, He Says. Edward J. Cantrell, minister of the People's Church, preached yesterday afternoon at the Propylaeum on "The New Synthesis." He said in part: " What is that, knowing which, we shall know all things?' asked the Yogis of the East. Tho answer is life. If I know life I know all things, for life is the nomenon back of all phenomena. To this simple proposition has my theologv come. In fact, my theology consists of just two words. The first word is life. Do you understand? I am life. God is life. Life is the ultimate reality. The material universe is not the dead insensate thing it seems. A little more heat and 'this too, too solid, flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew.' A little more and the continents would become molten and fluid, while a few more degrees would resolve all things to a nebulous, gaseous existence and the universe would be an Infinite, blooming, buzzing vibration of primal energy. And life is such stuff as this energy is made of, and it makes little difference to me whether you say mind or matter. "The other word in my theology is righteousnessthat great, prominent word of the old Hebrew Scriptures. Or, if you prefer, you can use Mr. Spencer's terms and say correspondence and adjustment. Life and righteousness! What more can be desired? The word righteousness translated into the twentieth century vernacular simply means right living. The law of righteousness 1 the law of growth. If I would grow, if I would attain highest realization I must put myself into right relations right relations, not with one thing only, but with all things. 'Man shall not live by bread alone shall live, not by any one thing alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' "I wonder what Jesus meant when He said. 'Every word?' I wonder how manv readers think what he meant? Is bread ä word of God? Has God more than one word? If man must live by every word, what are these words? We have been told from our infancy that the Bible is the word of God, but God has many words. Let us examine this a moment. What do we mean when we say, 'The word of God?' What is a word anyway? Our schoolmen tell us that a word is a thought symbol, tho sign of an idea. Words usually consist of vocal expressions or written characters, but may we not include more in this category? Other things at least are thought symbols', are signs of ideas and In that sense may be called words.. A man's work in a waybecomes his word. From what he makes 1 get his thoughts. When I look, at a machine. I know what was In the mind of the inventor when the machine was made. When I look at a house I catch the idea back of the house. A painting may become a man's greatest word or a statue, or a composition in music, or a city, or a civilization. Athens became the word of Pericles, It was his thought symbol, it was the sign of his great ideas. 'The Man with the Hoe was Millet's word of protest to the French aristocracy and Markham's poem is but the translation of his word from one language to another. "What do we mean then when we talk about the word of God? or words? TheN inaieiiai iiungs auout us are words the grass and the flowers, the trees and the flowing streams and the countless forms of life. All are words and great is the knowledge that each one can teach. These are mediums that bring us communications from the world of spirit. An interpretation of these is an interpretation of the word of God. A doctor of scence is a doctor of divinity, though he wears no surplice and reveres no creed. "Man to-day is learning his place in the universe. He sees that he must assume relations with all things and leave nothing out. He sees that all laws are divine and that every truth comes with all the power ol a divine ultimatum from God. Man mut live by God's word of sanitation. There was a time when he ignored this word and the plague scourged him for his transgressions. He must live by God's word of dietetics. Bread is a word of Ood and the church has never yet realized its sacramental value. Man must live by God's word of economics and sociology, it is because of transgressions here that most of the wars have come, that poverty and squalor are debasing human life. Man must live bv God's word of gravitation and the chemical affinities. The new synthesis is the FUm total of all known truth. Out of it will come the synthetic man of all known accomplishments. Out of It will come the new heaven and the new earth in which dwelleth riKhtcousness. And this new heaven and new earth is coming upon us like a thief in the night. A new formula has been given to the world, forcing on us a new expreion of religion, education and politics. The new term stated in philosophical language is idealistic monism. Scientifically, it is called uniformity of law; in social expression altruism or brotherhood: in politics, democracy; in commerce and industry. cooperation; in education, progress; in religion, love."

ON A COMMERCIAL TOPIC REV. J. COIMIXG SMITH'S SECOND SERMON OP A SERIES. A Discourse Calculated to Interest Busy Men of All Lines of Industry Yuriou Thoughts. Rev. J. Cumming Smith yesterday morning preached his second sermon in course of commercial sermons. His theme was "The System of Exchanges." Matt xvl, 2tf. He said: "Trade means giving equal to getting. The one needs what the other has. Hence men keep a keen eye on what the market demands. This is so true that if the people demand a vicious article, such as liquors or poisonous novels or lewd plays, there will be found those eager to gratify- that leprous demand. In a sense, therefore, commerce developes the faculty of considering the public. But when we rise above the leVel of the market that largely touches men on their material side the same studious alacrity to consider what we bring to the market s apt to be subordinate to the idea of what we get. Lower markets are merciless and the business that does not satisfy the neighborhood dies out. Higher up, however, in the scale the vein of self-love has so subtly threaded all intercourse that the public desire is often overmastered by a hundred forms of egotism. "Look for a moment at the grand realm of social ambition. It is such an elusive and superfine domain that one finds it difficult to discover any very serious laws Joining it together. The one pretty sure fact is that self-love or self-ministration forms the mainspring of action on that sphere. People are anxious to figure in society. To enter it the main question la not what one brings to that realm of passionate interest to heighten Its love or ennoble its ideals, but what fitting fame one may draw from It. If the first motive rules, then you have the glow of real aristocracy with its love of quiet excellence and its premium on character, if the latter motive governs you have the foundation of a dizzy or feathery society, based on spidery smiles and diamonds. DEBUT OF YOUNG LADY". "If the debut of a young lady means that her entrance to the society Is a real acquisition, that her beauty and her gracious manners and her easy dignity and her admiration for the. real best things of life will infuse a purer ardor into lively circles then the debut is laudable. If, however, the motive is what one will reap from the newventure, why it means but the addition of one butterfly more to the cloudlet of butterflies now fluttering over the social meadows. Take professional life. The vulgar doctor carries round his pills and drugs with a view to filling his purse. His profession is but a feeder to his avarice, lie hangs out his shingle as a cat's-paw for money. The real doctor makes money a means to an end and that end is mastery of the healing art. Some ministers erhaps enter the pulpit because of its social luster or its being a tneater for oratorical talent or even its mercenary advantage. Other ministers love the profession for its own sake, and even if no halo of fame encircled it and even if glaring poverty faced them, they would still believe the call to voice God's love the highest call ever a man can hear. "What we bring that Is the main matter. Our churches at times are guilty of cheapening the cause. People join church to-night. They demand the best preachi.ig and the best music and the warmest geniality and the softest pews. They criticic most severely. But what do they bring into the church they Join? Do they look on the collection plate as a disagreeable dinner, or as a chance to help? Do they bring enthusiasm, loyalty, faith, vitality, fellowship? "The law of nature is that we are taxed to pay our own cost. The wood gives bough and shade and food to the bird and the bird brings its song. The babe Is the most exacting piece of humanity; It made the mother pay toll through weeks; it drains strength; it demands every attention. But the little extortioner is a sunbeam, a spring bloom, and brings new accessions of Joy and love. It is well It does to match the care it demands. Even in the highest flights of theology there has been a popular interpretation of salvation by grace, as ü it were that God brought every thing and man brought nothing. Our hymns are marred by this unfortunate theory. Our religious tracts so often wariK-d and wormy in their fundamental suggestionshave circulated the idea, something for nothing. As If the grace of God o unfathomable and precious was not a dynamic! As if the love inninite and artesian In flow from the throne was riot meant to develop men into qualities atiu powers advantageous to the world! When I go to the mountains every bneze wafts oxygen and every breath fills the luns with ozone. A SPIRITUAL EDUCATION. "Nor Is the gospel anything less than a spiritual education by which a man rlse3 in the scale of power. How many virile men have turned anvay from hymns that represent the pearly gates swinging open to men miscellaneously just like the White House on general receiving days! How seldom comes the shadowy suspicion that that bright world, with all its hospitality and princely entertainments, receives only those who will be real acquisitions In some direction? How we pauperize religion! How we paint the future world in colors which would disgrace this livs leonine world!

Illustrations Expressly tor the Work J) : i 2 How we level heaven while we grade or terrace earth! When men desire to enter a syndicate they bring capital; when a student aspires to enter a university ho brings knowledge and ambition: when a. man desires to enter and enjoy the richest things of this world he Is proud to bring his contribution of experience or wealth or clientage. But when men lift up their eyes to the palatial splendor of the future, to the vistas of infinite progress nnd holiness, they love to luxuriate in the prospect of all the'bllss such high scenes will pledge them, but they don't ask the other side of the question do those worlds want me? What can I bring to make heaven richer or Ewceter? In other words, religion has been reduced to a doctrine of passivity. We all expect to be eternally receptive, and preachers too often benumb the conscience with lovely pictures of ease when they should put men on their mettle and aim to impart into those splendid worlds that await the righteous tome noble quality that will make even heaven more resplendent. ANOTHER THOUGHT. "Another thought comes pressing in. In trade of common wares two parties may meet and haggle and then part without a purchase on either side. They leave each other as they found each other. In the wondrous world of moral Intercourse n such thing Is possible. Teople emit subtle indefinable influences. There is a fragrance or magnetism about every personality. People modify one another, either strengthen or Impair, either purge or beslime each other. W exchange our articles. Wc can't help it. There are conscious influences and there are strong unconscious influences that are dynamical In their power. Somo are open-voiced infidels and shake your faith by violent argument. Others are silent skeptics and though they never breathe a word you leave them with a faint stranpe sense of the fallacy of life and the tinknowability of God's truth. Two soul never meet without molding each other In some strange way. So character is constructed. Better the man who builds up even If he does no more than add one brick or stone to the wall than the weak pessimistic man who snarls at all good and mocks at every virtue. Look on your life as worse than wasted, as mean and hollow beyond expression, if you do not try to make the home or street sunnier and sweeter. Be a positive, not a negative; be constructive, not destructive, and remember you leave an impression on every passer by your look or voice or word which lifts up or drags down. This is the law of Influence acting both ways." . NEWS IN SUNDAY'S JOURNAL. Brief Resume of the Chief Events Covered In the Issue of March 2.
