Ward insists upon them being called. remarked
Friday evening: The man who taught Stuart
how to act is out in 'front.'" and the young actor
caught glimpse of Prof. Byron w. King, who,
with Mrs. King, was occupying a prominent
position In the parquet and watching with con,
the performance of MIR. Stuart, their former
pupil. whose success and advancement in his
chosen profession are matters of great interest,

closely the fashionable bridemaid of the pres

costumes of the ancient times copied now by
the votaries of fashion, that when seen on the
stage they are regarded with indifference as lar
as the style is concerned, and admiration is
only excited by the richness and beauty OF
colors and materials used in their creation.

A NEW LINE OF p1sosuRsE
Adopted by Rev. w. S. williams, of Christ
Universalist. Church.

Adopted by Rev. W. S. Williams, of Christ
Universalist. Church.
Rev. Mr. williams, of Christ Church (Univer-
sahs) Curry University building, inaugurated a
new line of preliminary discourse last evening.
which will be continued for some time to come.
His intention is to take up the great thoughts
of the day, from week to week. and treat Of
them from the highest standpoint and
intelligence at his command. His
first thought last evening was that what
ever initiated against the highest form
of society and government, either morally or
otherwise, was not ft to he considered in the
process of formulating government. He used
as an illustration the recent Parnell nasco
From this he turned to the present financial
troubles that might exist in sections were due
chiefly to speculation, the underlying cause OF
which was generally peculation Advanc-
ing to the larger thought of civil rela-
tions, the speaker said it was strange
that Congress could not devote more
time to enactlng laws for the people. instead of
exempt from this evil. During his remarks he
referred to the collapse of a defeated candi-
date, and said the cause of this collapse should
be more noticeable and forcible to all. when
candidates spent more money in a campaign
than they could possibly procure from the
salary of their Office, there must be something
wrong behind the whole proceeding.
The regular text of the evening was: IKE
pent Ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at
Hand" Unversalists, the speaker said, had
been accused of not following the lead of
Christ. Whatever belief men have, all follow
some definite idea. Every public man who
does something new in the world has scheme
of philosophy as an underlying principle. That
of Universallsts was The attractive power OF
love to reach all mankind. The teaching, Re
pent We, the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand" was the inspiring impulse OF
Chrlst's teaching. The common Christian in
spiration is: Repent We, as hell is at hand"
The Unive-salists believed that heaven was
ever present. and Christ taught: "Give Me thy
heart to-day" Their belief was that love was
rewarded by love and salvation was not some
thing connected with the future, but was over

MIXED MARRIAGES CONDEMNED.
Sermon of Rev. e. r. Donehoo on Delicate
Subject.

Subject.
Rev. e. r. Donehoo took for his text yester-
day, BE Not Uneeually Yoked Together With
Unbelievers." II. Cor. vi "A He said: The
text is commonly understood to be the
spiritual application of precept in the Mosaic
law. which says: Thou shalt not plow with an
OK and an ass together The lesson most
commonly drawn from these words of Paul is
in condemnation of mixed marriages. The
Catholic clergy very frequently speak out about
the evils which arise from such marriages,
while our ministers are very slow about ever
touching upon this delicate subject. Chris
tian ministers in all large communities
are frequently called to observe the
deplorabls results of ill-assorted alliances.
Many marriages are contracted when the
parties Young and silly. Under such an in-
fuence they heedlessy ignore or foolishly dis
count differences in education, in manner of
life. in moral and religious convictions, which
will be almost sure to assert themselves when
passion has cooled down and reason once more
assumes sway.
THE outcome of these mixed mtfriages may
be anticipated with considerable confidence;
one OF two results will follow, either destruc-
tion of mutual love and confidence whereby
home is sanctified. or else cowardly abandon
ment of principles and hopeless stolidity to-
ward evils which were once stu1iously
summed
