the true number, for the vico Is almost in
variably secret one. and it's victims are
usually suspected rather than actually
known, unless to druggists, who will not ex-
pose their customers. Yet probably the esti-
mate given is not too high, and we are also
justified In supposing that the report does
not exaggerate when 1t puts the yearly con-
sumption Of opium in the United States by
opium eaters at five million grains. 1t Is
startling, however, to read that such statis-
tics as have been obtained show that In some
portions Of the country, In Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, and Kentucky towns, there are from
three to six opium eaters In every one hum
dred inhabitants.
These facts show that the Friends, who,
from the first, have been forward in every
good work, have good reason for raising q
cry Of warning against the terrible vice Of
which their report treats.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1882-05-14

held and maintained In It's most solemn formu-
las through these many ages. The Nicene
creed, which was adopted early In the fourth
century by the first great universal Chris
tian Council held after the days Of the Apos-
ties, and which was carefully constructed to
express tho true Christian faith In opposition
to the many heresies then current, declares
that JESUS CHRIST is =" very COP OF very COP,
begotten, not made, being OF one substance
(homoousios) with the Father, by whom all
things were made" This creed has always
been recognized as authoritative by the Ro-
man, the Greek, the English, and the
Lutheran Churches, and 1t is also the founda-
ton OF the confessions OF faith OF the Presby-
terrain, the Methodist, the Baptist, and the
other great evangelical communons The
so-called Athanasian creed, composed some
years later, and which has nearly as wide
recognition as tho Nicene creed, furthermore
declares that unless q man believes In the
Godhead Of the Son, without doubt he shall
perish everlastingly."
The doctrine Of tho Deity OF the Lord
JESUS CHRIST Is, therefore, we repeat, the
essence Of the Christian religion. Those who
believe 1t are believers in that religion, and
those who do not believe 1t are not be-
levers. Our clerical correspondent does
not impugn this position; but he af-
firms that man may be q dlsbeliever in the
Christian religion and yet be rathor friendly
to that religion and be saved. This is a
controversy into which we do not enter. 1t
is purely theological, all that we have
done having been to assert the great his
torical and philosophical fact that the es-
sential Of belief in the Christian religion is
belief In the Godhead of the CHRIST.
But what spectacle does this Trinitarian
Clergyman present when we compare his ut
terances with those Of the authoritative
creeds we have quoted, or with the con-
fession of faith of any orthodox Christian
communion. What difference between his
notions of Christianity and those of the early
ages when faith was more earnest and theol-
ogy more logical than now. Verify, this is
not the same world, and mankind is not the
same race of people, as In times gone by.

An Orthodox Clergyman Defends Heresy,

We publish In another column an interest
ing communication from a Clergyman Of
orthodox religious faith, Directing to the
view we recently thought 1t necessary to
express, that only those who believe In the
Deity OF the Lord JESUS CHRIST can prop
erly BIO called believers In the Christian
religion. From this principle our clerical
correspondent would appear to dissent
and yet, when we come to examine
his observations carefully, he Is found to
be O dissenter rather from what he regards
as 1.-THE logic OF the principle than from the
principle Itself. At the same time, as is
common with religious thinkers who reason
loosely and sentimentally, he is compelled
to attribute to us a proposition which we
never entertained, namely, that persons who
do not believe In the Deity Of the Lord JESUS
CHRIST are thereby OF necessity them
selves the foes OF Christianity. What
we said was that the doctrine Is a foe to
Christianity which teaches that the Lord
JESUS CHRIST Is man, or anything lower
than the infinite Godhead In tho scale of
being. This is very different from saying
that because EMERSON and LoNGFELLow did
not believe that CHRIST is COP, therefore
they are the foes Of Christianity. O"- cor.

very important distinctc-,

Irish-Americans Denounce the Dublin
Infamy.

The remarks Of Mayor GRACE and Mr..
RICHARD O'GoRMAN at the meeting in Cooper
Institute on Friday night gave faithful and
forcible expression to the feeling Of indigna-
ton with which the Dublin atrocity Is re-
garded by clear-headed and true-hearted
Irishmen. AS Mr.. O'GoRMAN eloquently said
murder is a foul thing at the best, but never
has 1t worn an aspect more abhorrent
and unnatural than when herald Of dcliv-
erance was struck down upon the soil which
he had come to gladden. and to bless. The
fact that the Repression bill had been read
the night before in Parliament, and that
some Of its features were calculated to exas-
perate those who have encouraged secret
societies, supplied specious pretext
for protest and disturbance, and the
speakers, unluckily, were not in possession
OF the news that remedial legislation Of the
widest and most benignant scope is to go
hand In hand with measures intended to
avert the repetition Of assassinations. But,
on the whole, the promoters and managers Of
the meeting acquitted themselves admirably
In difficult position, and gave firm utter
ance to opinions and sentiments which are
shared by an overwhelming majority Of our
1rsh-Amercan fellow citizens

A New Form of Church Begging.

A pamphlet on the past history and pres
ent needs of the General Theological Semi
nary OF the Protestant Episcopal Church
has recently been circulated in largo quanti-
ties among the practising lawyers Of this
city.
Enclosed In this pamphlet on a loose slip
OF paper Is neatly printed notice which
reads as follows:
"As you are frequently called upon to draft wills for
your clients this pamphlet is sent to you ask your
attention TO one OF the most important
sttuons In our city The corporate title 10 The
erA Theological Seminary Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States, corporation existing
under the laws of the State of New York"
The author Of the essay appears by the
title page to be the Rev. L. A. HOFFMAN, ID.
d., the Dean OF the seminary, and it is to be
presumed that the slip which we have
copied is circulated by the authority OF that
institution.
The notice Is substantially an invitation to
lawyers to influence their clients in regard
to the testamentary disposition OF their
property. 1t says, In substance to the
members OF the bar: "You are often en-
ployed to draw wills for rich men; you thus
come to know what property they have, and
"h"' 'hoS pioPOoo w w WIFI W. lHls
knowledge Is denied the world at large, and
Is impaired to you because OF the contlden-

this position, and r cca1 into tho ears of the
unsuspecting testator the manifold advan-
tages which will accrue to his soul from a
devise and bequest to the General Theologi'
cal Seminary Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church"

The Opium Eaters.

There Is no doubt that the victims of the
habit of opium eating are surprisingly nu
merous in the United States, and are con-
stantly increasing. Perhaps, outside Of China,
there is no other country where the ruinous
vice of indulgence in opium is more general
Druggists in small country towns, in New
England and the West more especially, are
likely to have n dozen, even score and more
may be, OF regular customers who buy
opium-in these days very frequently In the
form OF morphia-not to be used incidentally,
but to be taken, like alcohol, as stimulant.
The habit has gained mastery over men
and women both, young and old. The prac-
tice can be kept secret much moro easily
than alcoholic intcmperance, at least for
many years, and its sly victims are therefore
often found among clergymen and others
who dare not offend public opinion. They
resort to many articles and use many OK
cuses and receptions in purchasing the drug /;
but even il their vice is concealed from their
neighbors generally, and is hardly suspected
In their families, the apothecary who supplies
them with the opium is never deceived re-
garding their case. The vice has extended
30 rapidly that OF late years cures OF the
habit are constantly advertised in all news
papers of large circulation, especially those
which are read throughout the country. 1t
brings new class Of recruits to the insane
asylums, and rcformatories established for
the treatment OF alcoholic intemperance now
give large share of their attention to the
victims OF opium.
Yet the churches which make so strong
and persistent fight against the one vice
have been usually disposed to ignore the
other. At last, however, body bf Chris
tians has opened assault upon opium eating.
The yearly meeting of the New England
Friends, or Quakcrs, lately held at Provi-
dence, received q report ON the pernicious
habit from committee appointed to investi-
gate the subject, and, as a first step toward
the reformation they seek to accomplish,
ordered its publication in pamphlet form for
general circulation.
Here are some OF the facts presented In
that report: In 1869 the importation Of opium
into the United States amounted to 80, 907
pounds, OF gold value OF $525 1902 In 1876
the quantity OF crude opium imported was
22s,742 pounds, while in 1880 1t had increased
l4O per cent. In 1876 we imported 1000
ounces OF morphia, and in 1880 at New York
alone $500 ounces were entered. The growth
Of the Union in population, of course, ex-
plains only part of that remarkable in
crease. Neither has 1t been caused by the
more general use Of opium incidentally. For
that purpose fraction only OF the greater
quantity imported has been required. Nor
have we made any allowance for the consid-
cradle amount Of opium struggled.
The report OF the Friends estimates the
number OF opium eaters In the Union at
100000. But, OF course. that is mere guess.
1t is impossible to determine how many
there are. to even get figures anywhere near

wholly improper for lawyer to do any such
thing. He is not the keeper Of his clients
conscience, nor should he undertake to be.

A New Aspect of the westbrook Case,

A new element Is introduced into the pend
Ing investigation Of the conduct of Mr.. JUS
tice WEsTBRooK by the letter which Mr..
RUFUS F. ANDREWS has sent to the Judiciary
Committee OF the Assembly.
This letter refers to an action brought in
the Supreme Court OF this State by Mr. s. F.
and ANN JANE BAILEY against CoRNEIIA NJ.
STEWART and HENRY HILTON, the object OF
which was to recover certain real estate
claimed by the plaintiffs as heirs at law OF
the late A. T. STEWART, the great merchant
OF this city.
Mr.. IRA SHARPER subsequently appeared,
ostensibly In behalf OF one OF the plaintiffs,
and applied to the Court for an order remov-
Ing Mr.. KNEELAND as attorney. This motion
was granted by Mr.. Justice WEsTBRooK.
Mr.. ANDREWS, who opposed 1t, now charges
that Mr.. SHAFER was not employed by the
plaintiff whom he assumed to represent, but
really acted for HENRY HILTON; and he goes
on as follows:
"I charge that Mr.. Huron his agents paid MI
sHArER not less than s5 that out OF that there
was paid at least q 900 for the publication Of Mr.
sHArERs papers in the press and that there paid for
the purpose OF influencing the decision of Judge wEsr
the sum OF 5000 How this money paid, to
whom 1t was paid and when it was paid be estab
hshed by the evidence OF the Hon IRA sHArER his bank
book and check books"
These are charges Of the most serious ma
ture, and they cannot be disregarded They
directly, and in express terms, impugn the
honesty of Mr.. SHAFER and Mr.. HILTON, and
they leave it to be inferred in the clearest
manner that Judge WgsTBRooK received
payment for his decision In the STEWART case
In this country every man is assumed to be
innocent until he is proven to be guilty, and as
yet the statements contained In this letter do
not warrant any unfavorable conclusions in
regard to the parties mentioned. But this
much is certain: II Mr.. HILTON Mr.. SHAFER
and Judge WEsTBRooK are innocent, Mr.
RUFUS F. ANDREWS should be disbarred from
practice as an attorney and counsellor at law
