DIVINES DISAGREE.
A Discussion Not Decided by
Prayer--Intolerance OF
Opinion.

The following is an extract from a
late New York Tribune editorial:
"There is, perhaps. no mental vice so
common as intolerance of opinion.
Even such as think thy have eman-
cipated themselves from the clinging
defect find it hard TO acknowledge
frankly to themselves that the opinion
of some one else upon matter they
have studied may very well be as de-
serving of respect as their own, if it
differs radically from their own. If
we could all get rid of this last in
trinity not only of noble minds,
but of nearly all human minds, how
much less friction there would be in
life, how much less bitterness and
heart burning and envy and all un-
charitableness
In an adjoining column of the same
paper was found the following pecu-
liar commentary on the editorial:
"The bitterness of the controversy
in the American Board over the ques-
tion of probation after death was very
great This rather shocked the sim
ple.minded and earnest foreign mis-.
sionaries who attended the sessions
of he Board, one of whom said be
had always thought such questions
were decided by prayer. But If the
debate was not altogether Christian
in spirit, it was strictly parliament
ary. The brethren didn't forget to
put copy of Cushing's Manual in
their valise along with their Bible,
and apparently some OF them consult
ed it Oftener than the Bible"
Is it fact that there is but little
federation in this country, and less
than in others
"Comparisons are odorous," said
Mrs. Malaprop. Perhaps we have
been claiming too much for this free
nation,
We must admit that in the profess
ions there is yet much of the old time
prejudice against new ideas. Preach
ers preach the old doctrines and doc
tors prescribe the old medicines Bitter
controversies arise when any thing
new is proposed
But the march of progress is not
stayed. Men are travelling heaven
ward under new creeds and being
cured by new medicines.
Much the same state of facts seems
to exist in other countries.
When Dr. Robson, a leading physi-
clan of London, formerly of the Royal
Navy, proclaimed that Warmers safe
cure was specific in kidGey derange
ments, the hide bound school to which
be belonged threatened to debar MIN
from practice, if he did not recant.
But he replied that his statement was
based on such evidence that he could
not recant.
Since then, DR. Wilson, F. r. s.
E editor of Health" a recognized
English authority. announces in his
magazine that Warmers safe cure j.
of perfectly safe character and per-
fectly reliable" Many English phys.
icians are now prescribing it.
The schools" in this country still
bar all proprietary medicines. But
DR. Gum, Dean of New York Med
ical College, long since published:
warmers safe cure is very valu-
able remedy" and says he knows
that many physicians prescribe it,
though not by name.
Coed things in creed or practice are
not to be cried down by the old fogies
simply because they are new. The
spirit of federation thrives on opposi-
tion.

The If-Sufficiency of Stupidity

The most frightful exhibitions Of
stupidity occur when men, not by
any means stupid or illiterate, and
called to judge of work which lies
quite outside their experience and
capacity. Likewise when men, Of
fair general information, try to pass
themselves off as possessing knowl-
which do not possess. 1t was not q
blockhead, but man of moderate
learning and of very great smartness
(and self-sufficisncy), who seriously
declared that he had never read either
Shakespeare or Milton; and further.
more shat he did not believe that any
body bad ever read either Shakes
peare or Milton. Having looked into
Hamlet" one evening, and, finding
that he was not interested, he con
cluded that Ee was fair specimen of
educated humanity, and that what
could not interest him could not in-
terest ANYBODY.

A Pavement Needed.

in front of the church on Thirty-sixth
street, There is no pavement on the entire
square from n to % on the south side.
This church, which is the only Catholic
Church in West Washington, has large
congregation. In the winter months and
in inClement weather IL is impossible to
use the main entrance of the church on
account of the impossible condition of the
street. The church, which has recently
been remodeled is as fine q church edi-
flee as there is in the District, and the
people of West Washington are loud in
their complaint. of the neglect on this
street. The street has never had pave

Several pistol shots were fired in rapid

Austrian Minister, 1887 street, about 10
o'clock last night A tall colOred man
came out of the Minister'S house and fired,
apparently at a oolored man and woman,
who were going down the street. 1t is
said that Frank Whips, the head waiter
at the legation, made some insulting re-
bermaid, and her husband last night
chastised Whips for it, and the latter
loaded his pistol and pursued his as.

the shooting, and Whips had his wounds
dressed and was taken home.

Lecture ON RnIgnria.

Stoyan X Vatvalaky, Bulgarian evan
gelist, delivered an interesting lecture on
Bulgaria ia the lecture room of the Central
Presbyterian Church last evening. MIR
YatvaIsky is a tall, fine aud intelligent
looking man. He spoke the English Ian
guage with case and but slight foreign
accent The attendance was much smaller
than the lecturer deserved. BE described
Bulgaria and its topography. Explained
the political situation and the relation OF
the countries to Russia, and told what
American missionaries had done for the
country. He related the story OF his con-
versatlon to christianity, and said that bis
family regarded Protestants as the worst
people on the earth and that they would
rather have seen him dead than convert
TO the belief. He said the masses OF the people
OF Bulgaria were very ignorant and pre-
vious to the missionaries teochings, the
only thing he had been taught about re.
Iioion was 10 make the sign OF the cross.
The speaker described the Greek church,
its ceremonies and hollow forms OF worehip
He also sang Nearer by God To Thee,
in bis native language to the well known
tune OF Bethany. At the close Of the
lecture he arrayed himself in ths
garb OF Greek priest. The costume Is
composed Of loose robe and high black
cap. In one hand he carried censor and
in the other a string of beads. He ex
planned the dress and told what each part
represented. Mr.. Vatvalsky desires tc
return to Bulgaria as a missionary. A col
lection was taken up at the close Of the
lecture to aid him Ia pursuing his studies
at the Howard University, Washington
