Another step was taken last Saturday in the
divorce proccedingsin the equity court brought by
ex-senator J. r. Christiancy against his wife, Lille
NJ. Christiancy. Early IN the week Mr.. Ingcrsoll,
counsel for the plaintiff, gave notice to the other
side of his intention to ask the court 10 appoint Il
special examiner to take the testimony of Edil
Giro in New York city. In response Mr.. oliver,
attorney for Mrs Chrlsiancy, filed her afidavit op
posing the motion on the ground that her financial
condition was such as to make 1t impossible for
her to attend to the taking of the deposition asked
for or to pay the requisite expenses or ncr COUNSEL
to attend the examination II the order was
granted her cause would be greatly prcjudced, un.
less the court would make an order directing the
plaintiff to advance the funds to cover the neces-
sary expenses,
Mr.. Oliver put In nm affidavit to the effect th0t
the testimony of the witness now wanted could
have been procured five months ago, as he had
been in New York all that time An advance to
meet the expense was, however, promised, and the
court granted the order,

DR.. Ren on "Thc Dormas of the rapacy. =

DR.. Reas second lecture OH "Thc pogn,as Of the
Papacy" was delivered, according TO announce
ment, IN Masonic Temple ut three p. m. yesterday.
The audience was larger than OH the prcviousSun-
day afternoon, and included some of the leading
clergy and thinkers ofhe city. The esubect treated
was the "Rule of Faith" or Scripture and tradi-
ton infalibly interpreted according to the undni-
nous consent Of the Fathers The lecturer held that
the so.callcd traditions of the Church of Rome
were elevated to q position far above the Bible ;
that while tradition was always permitted
to give Judgment on the Bible, the Bible was
never allowed to give judgment on tradition.
The question OF the existence of tradition and the
passages OF Scripture quoted by the Church of
Rome Oh the subject were critically examined and
held To be either utterly inconclusive or plain per-
versions; that the text, Hear the Church." so fre-
auontly quoted by Roman Catholics In proof of the
authority of the Church to determine all matters
of faith had reference simply TO asupposcd dispute
between two members of the congregation to
whom the matter was to be referred In case the
offender refused to listen to the offended, which,
submitting OUR judgment in matters of faith to the
dictum ofthe Pope,
The lecturer closed with an eloquent, peroration
Oh the grand theme of the Bible salvation by
Jesus Christ, Its completeness ny a revelation Of
the mind of God, and its universal applicability
to the wants of mankind.
The third lecture will occur next sunday amer
noon, same time and place, the subject being
"Romc an Enemy 10 Scripture" in which the
Doctor said he should include reference to the
attacks of the RomiSh bishops and priests upon
our public school system on tho ground OF the

Dr. Rankin on Eternity.

| DR.. Rankin preached yesterday morning from
Matthew, XIV 40" And the king shall answer and
say unto them, Verify, verify, say unto you, in
asmuch as ye did unto one the least of these, my
brethren, yc did II unto me- There Is nothing we
understand little, said the preacher as ourselves
the lives we are living here Only God knows
| what We are. Only God knows the Significance of
our lives We see In part, but not as we are seen.
shall speak to you this morning on the inter
| prctat0ns of eternity. First, we need the
nterBretati.Sns of eternity as to what life Is:
sphere scarce knowing myself, and having It for
great part of my. errand here TO find, toget q
knowl edge Of TO get full possession of myself In
proportion as man does this he enters into life"
DO you ever feel that the life of other people is
| solemn That same solehnty is IN your life and
The Being who best understood himself,
had possession cl OF himself, best filed out
had no reputation and not where to lay Ills head,
was cradlcd on a level with the brutcs in amanger,
and was buried in a borrowed tomb; The very
things we think essential to life, worth living for,
lie had not one of them;. and yet, in His own
own Language, He found this life, and we are all
| the time losing It,
| In the second place, we need interpretations of
eternity as to what life is in its proportions. There
are two elements of life one that relates to time,
and the otherto eternity one Is just as legitimate
in ts sphere as the other Is; The questions what
shall eat, what shall drink and wherewithal
shall be clothed? Nrc just us Legitimate for the
Christian to ask himself and to answer for himself
as the other and greater questions, What must do
to be saved; whnt shall II profit man to gain the
"hcia ,rnrll and lose his own soul? The proper
ton of time and thought and effort which we give
| to this life, compared with that which we give to
| the life of God within u.s. should be as our brief
portion Is an equality Of ratios, and what We need
to know to solve this equation is the term eternity.
| Thirdly. We need the Interpretation Of eternity
as TO the relations of this life with the next. The
text gives us one proportion of these rcaions In
asmuch as ye did II unto the least Of these, my
| brethren, yc did It unto me-" Did It? Wherei In
this "er!d The only opportnnitya creature has of
doing anything for the Lord Jesus in his humilia-
| tion rs In this World
to1T'hiy We nc mSea i ing FIX &ln'Grs,a.ioh o. esern a n
best thoughts our best actions into what the Lord
gives us to do II Is part of great whole. II Is
as secure rs that great whole. II IL not to be rccog-
nized as what we have done, but what our Lord

An AssOcintiOn TO he Formed to Protect

Considerable dissatisfaction is manifested among
livcry.stablc keepers here over "a proposition to
increase their taxes by adding one on personal
property. meeting of tho leading stable men
has been called for tonight at which steps will be
taken to form protective association and en-
deavor to defeat the proposed tax. A representa-
tive of THE REPUBLICAN, called upon Mr.. Allison
Nailor last night IN reference to the matter, and,
in reply to question as to the tax now paid Mr..
NailOr replied ave are now paying 81 80 on the
500 of our real estate, the same amount for I'M
provcmcTts u license for the number of stalls,
and special tax on each and every carriage. BE-
sides, We pay water tax, and now are asked to
put up again for personal property, which is in
reality making us pay double. None of us object
to paying one tax be Il license or personal as we
wish TO do our share to sustain the District gov
ernment, but this personal tax IL ouerous and un-
just"
Have any steps been taken to bring the subject
to the attention OF Congress" asked THE REPuB-
LICAN's emissary.
1--WE have retained Colonel Robert Christy to
look after our interests and he has already filed
his brief before the District Committee. Should
we be successful in formnga permanent associa-
tion and have II understood which tax we are to
pay, the public will be benefited, as carriage hire
win be decreased. As II is now i. looks as though
we were asked to pay everything we can get in
taxes The meeting tomorrow night, however,
will determine upon what action we shall take !;
