MINISTER'S COUNCILS.
A Paper on DOgmatic Preaching
and Reviyals.

At the meeting of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Union yesterday a paper was read
by Rev. A. H. Lounsbury on 1.-The Rela-
ton of Dogmatic Preaching to Great Rellg-
ious Movements in the Past" he began
with the preaching of Luther and the Ger
man reformation of the sixteenth century,
and claimed that the preaching of the
powerful leader was so dogmatic that the
doctrines which he proclaimed soon became
topics of discussion and conversation every
where and among all classes, and thus were
instilled into tie minds of the people until
the result was the revolutf6h IN rellslous
thought and practice. the effect Of wuisIi
has continued until the present time, its lm-
press upon the church being apparent
wherever evangelical Christianity is taught
He closed this part Of his paper by quoting
the remark of Luther: / would have the
people become acquainted with my cate
chiSm, for make what it contains the OASIS
OF most OF my sermons
The movement in the form which 1t
took under the leadership of Calvin ana
Knox was continued as a basis OF positive
doctrines, and the rise of PurtaniSm at
later date can readily be traced to similar
doctrinal source. The efforts Of Queen
Elizabeth and King James to suppress the
Puritans. with the edcts naming the
GOgmas which they were prohibited from
prOmulgating, showed quite plainly what the
doctrines which gave special power to their
preaching were. We are what We are as
church to-day, and our Christian ciyillZa-
ton is what it is, largely because OF the
Calvinistic preaching Of the PuritanS Oh
those days in England.
Speaking of MethOdsm and what it has
done TOR the world, Mr. LOunSbury said the
preaching of Whitfield and the WeSleyS gave
birth TO this powerful movement, which was
but revival of the doctrines of the German
Reformation. The work of Jonathan Ed
wards, begun at Northampton. was founded
upon the dogma of Justification by fai tn,
and the fOrcible setting forth of the more
severe doctrines Of the Bible which char
acteriZed his preaching. was one of the
principal features that rendered 1t 50 re-
markable as it Is generally acknowledged 10
have been.
The famous reviYals under \ ettetOn and
c. q. Finney we're cited TO illustrate this
idea, and Mr.. LOunsbury believes that
lille evangelis1s and reyivalstS often do
q great amount of good, whatever Of para
mount aud genuine success may follow their
efforts is largely due to the faithful pushing
preaching of vital, dOctrinal or dOgmatical
truth by means Of which the way was pre-
pared.

The Police Once Again Raid the
O'clock" Game.

Not until they were sure of their author
ity did the police swoOp down on that
swindling concern, the o'clock" game, con-
Quoted by "E. II. Cooke & Co." alias Val
entine, on Leidesdorff street, in the pool
rooms of S. 3. Whitehead g. Co. The
o'clock" conductors made a test case Of their
little game some two months ago, and when
1t came up in the Police ourts Judge Wor-
ley decided that it was not contrary to the
law.
EmbOldened by this decision the 'clock'
gentry arranged to make wholesale raid on
the gullible public. They fitted up one of
the old pool-rooms in fine shape and hired
an army of eappers to inveigle the unwary
and pluck them of their surplus cash. The
modus operandi CT the concern has already
been repeatedly exposed in tie columns OF
THE CALL.
Naturally, with decision in favor of the
"clock," Chief Crowley was 10th to make
any arrests and run the rick of being beaten
in The courts he detailed one of his most
efficient men, Officer John Martin, to inves-
tgate the case and see il there was no pos
sible way to close up the concern for good.
lie also consulted the prosecuting attorneys
of the three Police courts. When Officer
Martin had laid before him the result of his
Inquiries it was determined to make arrests.
In the absence OF Judge Xix, who has
gone into the country on vacation, it was
decided to take out a warrant in Police
Court 2, whose Judge had decided that the
'clock" game did not infTact the law. The
warrant was tahen out under Sections l and
OF Municipal Order $40, and yesterday
afternoon Officer Martin arrested E. II.
Cooke, the Ostensible tigurehead of the con-
Germ. Cooke was released on 500 cash bail
and under promise that the o'clock" would
tick no more until its legality had been fully
established In the proper courts.
Officer Martin worked up his case very
closely and made some very interesting dis
cOverieS, which seem to show that the
chances of investors, outside Of cappers,
20 make winning investment were In the
ratio of to 10000. He found out that all
the rises and falls in the five stocks listed
we're made up over night and marked on
the tape" Of a telegraph ticker" Then
they We're pulled out next day to suit invest
ments. The story that the quotations were
telegraphed from the East every halt-min-
ute was simply bOsh. There was no tee-
graphic communication at all with the East
All the quotations were cut and dried. In
the five stocks listed there were 30S quota
lions for each, or 1910 in all. These were
figured on by the firm the night previous
and winning contracts given out to cappers.
The cappers knew what would lose, and
gave pointers TO % GRANT investors accord

It is question if any of the fleeced pub

sion could not have "E. H. Cooke IL Co.,

their cOnfedeTateS, arrested for obtaining
