ROMAN PROPHECY SERMON by THE REV. DR.


J. p. NEWMAN.
DR.. Newman gave in the evening the second SER
mon on "Thc Lost Empires of the World" The
subject was 'Roman Prophecy, from Daniel XII, 80
to "a. The Doctor began by asking why the Romans
should occupy place in the prophetic vision. Be-
cause they wero to be the final conquerors of the
jews and, second, Christianity to gain the
ascendancy in the Roman Empire. These two facts
had been foretold by Moses, Daniel and Christ.
Eight hundred years before Rome had existence
Moses forctold that the eagle would be the emblem
of tie Roman Empire. The Etruscans the
first to adopt the eagle symbol of royal power.
From the time Of Masius the eagle was the prin-
cipal emblem of the Roman Republic and her
lofty and soaring pride, her farsighted cupid
ity her Unsuitable rapacity ana her swift descent
upon her prey were we'll illustrated by that bird.
The place that the Romans to occupy in the
great procession OF empires was definitely foretold
by Daniel 400 years III advance. His vision of
the four beasts and his explanation OF Nebuchad-
nezzars great image prophecy that they would
be the final conqrterors of the Jews.
SWIFT AS THE EAGLE FLIETH "
Moses foretold that nation should come from
affair." from the end of the earth, swift the eagle
fiieh and Christ foretold the methods by which the
Romans would take the city:-"Their enemy
shall cast trench about thee and COM
pass thee round and keep thee every
side: shall lay thee even with the ground
and where the body is thither shan the eagles be
gathered together It is remarkable that the
prophet could foresee that its final destruction
should BE- by the Romans. In conclusion, the Doc
tor dwelt upon the fulilment of prophecy touching
perors and the timely appearance of Constantine
the Great who avowed himself Christian and be-
came the royal defender of Christianity. Whether
Constantine was sincere Christian or not whether
not, cannot be disputed that he established
Christianity throughout his vast Empire.

MASONIC TEMPLE.
THE POWERS THAT MOVE socIETY-sERAfoN By
Mn q u 1rROrIIINcuAM


MR.. o. B. FRoTHINGHAM.
Mr.. O. b. Frothinghams discourse in Masonic
Temple was devoted to review of the four
mons last delivered by him during the present
month. These sermons dealt with the four leading
powers that move and enlighten modern society.
The pulpit Of these powers addressed itself
to the conscience and endeavored plant itself
the moral law; the press did not stand on system
claim to have on its side providence govern
ing the world but appealed to the and intel
lgence of the people; literature took severe
attitude and laid hold Of the permanent reasons the
substantial thoughts that move mankind, while
the stage stood upon art the in
terpreter of nature, thought aud life. The
psures: Somebody else speaks trouah him. Il
may be Eschylus Eurlpides. Sophocles Shakespeare.
Goethe. Dumas, whose grand conceptions he gives
and All Othcllo tomorrow The speaker went
into an interesting and learned discussion of the
differences between tragedy and comedy and the
purposes and powers OF both species of dramatic
action, giving in the end the preference to tragedy
as it closely represented the human passions in
volved in the struggle of life. He said that the
present passion to laugh at everything is due to
reaction in the public mind because Of its emanci
patton from the tralnmels OF the old theology. Ac-
cording to that theology human nature was all
misery, corruption and wickedness; the world was
put place to solourn Sr amT there appeared
for the elected few and a positive hell for
the nnchosen many. religion like this made
in former times madness. Now this gloomy,
despairng idea of the ends of Providence has given
place to newer and more rational thoughts and the
old theology has passed away In Miss Thompson's
picture of the battle of Quatre-Bras the mems faces
lighted up with fury which finds expression in
laughter. And it may be said Of the people our
days who have successfully resisted the old
theology. When the eccentric Thomas Carlyle saw

England he exclaimed, How long will it be before
a comic Bible will be publishedY In abiding to the

The great contest of athletes in a
walking match for the champions
ship Of the world W hich has been in
progress for six days at Gilmore's
Garden, New York City, resulted in
the victory of the English champion,
RowelI, who accomplished the ex
traoidinary feat of walking 500
miles in six days Ennis, Chicago
man accomplished AS miles, and
Hartman a Maine man, 450 miles.
O'Leary, the former holder of the
belt, broke down, and has retired
from the field. 1t is thought that
Ennis would have been the victor if
properly handled. The sporting re-
porter of the Herald says: Ennis
extraordinary condition at the close
was a mystery and disappointment
to his friends. In order to win the
belt it was necessary that he should
be put TO his utmost. AS trotting
horse sent to his best speed should
be driven almost to break,
and yet kept on his feet so pedes
trian in a six days lace should be
driven to his limit, and only just
kept within it. His strength should
be carefully calculated, and to win,
it must be utilized to the last eX>
tent. This was not done in Ennis
case. In the first three days
chances were lost, though bad judg
ment in diet, and Oh the last three
days he was never called on to do
his best. The result was that he
was able to 60 the last mile at rac>
Ing speed, a fact which showed that
bis strength had been reserved until
it was too late to utilize it to any
purpose. He has challenged Ro-
well for another contest.
