1T was i'll order that he might lay

James Burrell on his recent tour OF En-
grand Travelled in cog. He sailed under
the name of James Powell, and he took
IN all the sights which he thought
wouldn't harm him. and from which
there was to his mind any possibility
of his drawing inspiration for
future discourSes to the people
of his great metropolitan church.

sat the doctor enjoying cigar, too. Hs

II he did he wouldn't use it at all. But
simply, L suppose, becuse of the fear
that his conduct may be referred to by

which may do harm to the church. But
ON shipboard, in the gay scenes of the

wanted to relight it. But, alas, ne had
no match. He accordingly mustered uu
enough OF the French language to make
the Gaul understand that he wanted
match, and the desired Lucifer was
forthcoming. But the Frenchman didn'r
know who the gentleman was to whom
he had extended such a favor, and
thought reciprocity should enter into
the dealings of the two. Accordingly
he suggested to Rev. David James Bur-

man extended the favor of match, he
expected brand new cigar in return.
But the dominie's stock was getting

COMMON SENSE TO RELIGION.
DR.. BurreH Says That Philosophy
Prevails Not Against 1t.


Prevails Not Against 1t.
At Westminster church last evening
DR.. Burrell talked of common sense in
religion, speaking from John, iii, 0,
GLOW can these things be?'' He hand
led the question in comparative way.
After repeating his text, he said:
''The man who uttered these words
was philosopher, skilled in the wisdom
of the rabbinical schools; member or
the sanhedrim and teacher in Israel.
Yet when Jesus. the carpenter, suggest
ed a truth which ought never to need
defense or elucidatlon, because it occurs
within the observation of all, the phiIos-
opher found himself beyound his depth.
and exclaimed. How can this be?' The
trouble here was an infirmity often met
with among the educated classes; NicO-
demuS knew too much. His philosophy
had carried him quite beyond the ordi-
nary methods of reasoning which coin
mend truth at a glance to simple souls.
The thing he lacked was common sense:
less ratioclnation and more common
Sense.' The speaker, after this intro
ductloD, undertook to apply the prin-
clples of common sense to the funda-
mental spiritual truths as follows:
''First, God. Let us dismiss the meth
w.
illogical. cOsmOlogical. and all others
AM grasp God as we apprehend other
verites. An Arab, when asked how he
knew that a camel had passed his tent
in the night, pointed to footprints in the
sand. Napoleon, when asked on the
deck of Mediterranean steamer, on
summer night, why he believed in God,
pointed to the stars and said, ''Who
made those?' These are the methods
that tell in theology. If we were to see
a gamester throw double-sixes a hum
dred times in succession we would inc
vitality conclude that somebody had
loaded the dice. Why not pursue the
same course of reasoning with refer
ence to the uniform adjustments in ma
ture? If a ship were to sail once a
month for ten years, never wandering a
rood from her course, the simplest lad
would say: There's a skipper aboard.
and he has chart" But how about the
innumerable millions Of worlds that sail
through infinite space for countless
icons without deviation from their or
bits? Common sense: says God, and all
the processes of theology cannot I'M
prove upon it,"
The second truth to which the speaker
applied this method was that of the
soul; after which followed the doctrines
of sin, retributiOn, revelation, atone
ment and justification by faith. 1t is
often asked, how can faith save? How
can an iron coupler draw a freight train
across the continent? By linking the
train TO the engine. Faith is the COUP
Ter that links the soul to omnipotence.

The Peculiar Business Methods
Off. Gardner Chase q Co.

BosToN, Nov. 30.-In the statement
which r. Gardner Chase d Co., the
stock brokers, recently made OF their
affairs, the assets. which aggregated
1856, 707, included items of s695, 1888 in
doubtful and bad accounts. An expert
accountant has made Il report which
shows that of the amount which ap-
pears as doubtful and bad accounts in
the statement, only about $4,000 are
really doubtful ana bad accounts and
that the balance, some s657, 900, repre-
sents losses in speculation on the
part Of Mr.. Chase. Since the firm
assigned. the banks have sold over
Sl.OO0,G00 worth of the collateral which
they held. The value Of the equities in
the collateral which the banks have not
yet sold is about S43. 500. and this is sub
stantially all there is with which to paw
dividend on an unsecured indebted
ness OF over 100000. Out OF this com
paratively small amount OF assets. more
over, preferred debts of about $3.50.
together with the aSsignee's charg es.
will have to be paid in full. The cred
ltOrS who hold no security will have to
content themselves with an exceedingly
small dividend. Mr.. Piper also reports
that the firm was insolvent on Jan. /,
1855. Since that time Mr. Chase has
drawn out S202.200, and his partner, Mr..
Legg, has drawn out 100000.
