DIVERSITY BRINGS CHARITY.
Men Are Doing Their Own Think
ing More and More.

~
Rev. III. Nj. Simmons, in his sermon at
the First Unitarian church, said that
men are more and more doing their own
thinking, forming even their own
theologies. and probably differ more in
their religious opinions to-day than ever
before. Yet these very differences are
teaching them charity, and hence bring
ing in religion a larger harmony than
ever before. The smallest sect to-day
includes men with differences of Opin-
ion that would have once almost made
them burn each other as hereticS. SectS
are more and more uniting, too. Many
sects, while keeping their distinctive
doctrines, join in the Evangelical alli
ance-theSe now and then unite with
others in common PrOteStantSm-and
Professionalism more and more feels its
kinship with Catholicism in a common
Christianity. Christianity is feeling
kindlier toward other religions too. The
very best things i'll the Bible are also
found in heaten literature. That Col
zen Rule, which both Jesus and the
Jewish Hillel said summed up the law
and the prophets, is found in the an
cient writings of China and other ma
tons; and the Chinaman seems to live
up 10 III quite as well as the American
Christians who burn his house and
shoot him. Human brotherhood was
taught not only by the apostles, but
quite as clearly by the pagan Cicero. in
the century before. The Divine Faith
erhoOd was we'll declared by the apOs-
ties; but when one of them preached
it to tue Athenians, he took his very
text from one of their own pagan poets;
and the faith was already fosslized
long before, in the heather name Jupi-
ssr, the Heaven Father. So we are find
ing that the best truths have been re-
vealed in all religions; and the very
knowledge and thought that sometimes
seem to be undermining religion, are
bringing more charity toward men, and
larger ideas of God.

one cannot be saved he may justly turn
to other bedsides. If the beastly drunk
ards of New York and Minnesota will
not hear, we are justified in turning to
the Fijis, the BuShmen, and the HOtten-
tots. Verify, many of them will enter
irtO heaven before the drunkards
in MnnesOta's legislature, and long be-
fore the men who take brides.
The immigrants who are filling up our
great West, and the illiterate blacks OF
the South, present ample field for home
missionaries. Our continent presents
the last chance to make and hold ma
ton for Christ. There are well nigh
100000 of black voters who cannot
read their ballots, and the school house
is of little use without the missionary,
the Sunday school and the church. This
year promises us more immigrants than
we have received in any previous one.
AS foreigners continue to come they
must be aSSimilated or our country will
not, as happy republic, see such an
other centennial celebration as we have
just had. The church is great leveler
of man with man, and the power to
fraternize the nations is held by the
Christian missionaries. We must Chris
tianiZe or we must perish.

ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

Fred BarroWs arrived in Minneapolis

scientious ambition Illuminating his

of a remarkably successful business
life. He is not what you would
call a brilliant man. His speeches
in the council are not models
of rhetoric. but he has large stock of
information, and eXces in practical
knowledge on such subjects as taxation,
police and fire administration, sewers
and paving. Aside from little narrow
ness. the result of being a self-made
man who has had to labor hard in his
youth, he is model alderman.

That is the ostensible reason, but Mr..

Rev. W. ]. Shannon preached at the
Church OF Christ yesterday morning Oh
the old text. He said:
"Our command is to go and teach all
nations. Jesus used the imperative
mood. If He is Lord, that word is law.
If there were nothing more to be said,
all the arguments for selfishly staying
at home would go down before this.
''Again, it is imperative upon him
who holds vital truth to make it
known. 1t it is vital to one it is vital to
all, and he who holds it is debtor to
all. The apostle said. Woe is me if 1
preach not tile Gospel The keeper of
lighthouse is responsible for wrecks if
his lights 60 out.
Again: If the logic of truth makes
missions imperative the logic of love does
so even more. He who loves cause must
live for it. Love is a compelling power.
There are growing thousands who begin
to say 1.-The love of Christ c0nstraineth
us to tell His history in all the world"

der. Not that they are unskilled in

worst blunder in this line that ever
came under my notice occurred during
an operation performed in a Chicago
hospital by woman, and which, to my
knowledge, has never been equaled in
the history Of surgery.
The patient was a girl under treatment
for tumor in the stomach. After sew

was operated upon in a scientific style
and the tumOr successfully removed, as
were also several large antiseptic
spOnges which had been placed in the
cavity to absorb the blood during the
operation.
''Then the incision was neatly
stitched with silver wire, the boss sur
geOn had rolled down her sleeves and
was receiving congratulations, when a
young doctress, who had taken the
precaution to count the spOnges before
and after using, suddenly exclaimed:
ooh, doctor, you have left sponge in
side OF the patient!"
''At first the doctor secuted the idea
that she could possibly make such a
blunder, but as one of the sponges was
missing, and which careful search of
the room failed to discover, she thought
perhaps it might have got lost in the
shuttle. The stitches were removed,
and sure enough there lay sponge as
big as half-grOwn mud turtle Snugly
reposing among the Latin arrangements
of the young women. The sponge was
rescued. and, and as the surgeon was
sewing the girl together again, she
calmly remarked: Pm glad my atten-
ton was called to the matter, as that
sponge is worth siXty-five cents.'"
