SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION On Monday even
ing Dr. Adams delivered lecture at the
above named Institution, ON the subject Of
"PantheisIn-' which he treated in a very able
and mastery manner, contrasting it with
DeIsm and Atheism. and denOuncin2 it as in
hnitely more dangerous TO the principles Of
true religion. He observed as follows: Pan
theism Is incompariably more dangerous thu
Deism; for, whilst the latter contains a pro-
portion of faith, the former believes nothing
takes nothing upon trust, nothing for granted
1t not emily dethrones the Deity. but proposes
To create Him, affirming him to be the product
of human thought. Pantheism is full of claim.
{" philosophy and even piety, expatiates in
poetry, and does rothing to excite popular
prejudice. 1t is the underlying principle and
moving cause OF Socialism and Communism
every where, and in Europe has done and is
doing things fraught with tremendous cOnse-
quenees. 1t has incor pOrated itself with Dam
ocrdtic elements, and thus laid hold upon the
heart OF the present age. The European rev
0lutlons Of 1913 were evidences Of its power
Itannihilates sin and responsibility, and al
ways ignores the thought Of world to come.
STRAW BERRIEs.-For the last week, a man
has been going about town distributing circu-
lars respecting strawberry plants that ne has
for sale, ard attracts attention by the label
Alpine Strawberries fixed in front of his
hat. lie is likely, however, to be excelled by
the Agricultural Bureau in his particular de-
partment, for in the report of the Agricultural
Bureau Of the Patent Office, just about to be
submitted to the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives. there Is full statement just re-
eeiVed, and several beautiful drawings Illus
hItiVe of 50 great an improvement in the cult
ration of strawberries as will ensure an
abundant crop of that delightful fruit, from
the same roots, in this meridian, during every
month OF the year in which there is no frost.
CONCEIr.-We are rejoiced to learn that the
Swedish vocalists, Mr.. and Mrs. Dannstrom, in
tend To give concert on next Monday night,
a. Carusis saloon, and from the talent they
displayed on former occasion, We hope that
ali lovers of good music will not fail to be pres
ext We can assure them from actual know
leise. that they will be highly delighted. Mr.
Damn 5trom Is very scientific singer, and his
lady possesses natural vocal powers of an ex-
traOrdInary character that have been highly
cultivated. We believe that their former con-
certs which were given last winter were not
- well patroniZed as they ought to have been
on account OF the tempestuOus weather. We
hope tina. the lovers OF music in Washington
will make up for the expenses that they must
then have necessarily experienced, by large
attendance. Indeed, it is but just that arts 5
of high talent should meet with patronage,
and it is like requisite To- the fair fame Of our
cry.
