SENSITIVE INIQUITY."
Rev. DIR. EastOn Ably Scores
Yenal journalism.

The subject of Rev. DR.. Easton's sermon
at Calvary Church last night was "The SEN
sitiye Spirit of lniquity." The reverend
gentleman spoke first upon social liability
ana then upon the spontaneous revelations
of conscience.
In the development Of his theme he said
life contains mixture of good and evil,
both of which exist in every heart Life is
a network of nerves of exquisite sensibility,
and men are bound together by mutual i'm
plicatons. The great facts of social i'm
pications reveal TO us how our companions
live and how they work themselves out to
their ultimate stiny for good or evil. We
cannot touch sin without being contami-
mated. Truth brings out all the black spots
in our nature and the soul is unable to con-
ceal its sin. Every soul that consents to
join another soul in completely OF evil is
walking on powder among sparks OF fire.
Sin has sensitive spirit which divulges
its own secret and renders conceament i'm
possible. Death alone hides sin, and sui
eide is always confession. The conscience
sometimes becomes hardened and then SIN
seeks concealment The man who cries
''fire" is apt to be the incendiary. There are
some men who are very punetillous regard
ing their creed and orthodoxy who cannot be
trusted with counterfeit $40 bill.
DR.. Easton then referred to the personal
attack made upon him last Monday by the
Stock Report, which he described as "car-
rion monger." 81 had spoken" he said,
'sof the evils of the saloon, and this So
called newspaper squirmed and squealed
with the shock and scream OF a stricken
owl-the sensitive spirit of iniguity. When
a Christian minister denounces gambling,
and includes under this head the lottery
dragon, this venal press rushes to the gam
ber's defense. When Chinese prostitution
is censured some venal wretch who has his
price will defend the practice upon the
score of vested rights. Swell yillainy can
be seen walking the streets Of our city in
broadcioth and diamonds, and this rascality
receives recognition from characterless
sheet which circulates in the community.
The cords of sef-interest are stronger than
the bands of truth or piety. a newspaper
which defends immortality and attacks those
who denounce sin must be sensitive of its
own shortcoming and fancies itself crisi-
cized. Master, thou reproachest me-
DIR. Easton's eloquent and scathing re-
marks were attentiyely followed by the
large congregation. He concluded his SER
mon by an urgent invitation to those con-
scious of their sin to be redeemed by the
hIood of fhe lamb.

better for roller. 1t is proposed TO put
down concrete covered by mating, as soon
as possible. Prohting by the experience
gained at Alameda last year the concrete
will be eight to ten feet wide. The narrow
ness of the concrete at the Alameda grounds
made it possible for a bowler to pitch ball
in the loose sand at the side and break it
on the wicket. This was a great drawback
to confident free batting
The sides in yesterdays game were cap
tanned by Robertson and Webster. Robert
sons side went to the bat first. After Rob-
ertson and Sloman had been disposed of for
IS and 20 runs respectively, the wcketS fell
rapidly till the whole side was out for 81.
Two men Reynolds and Hood-were re-
sponsibls for most of the 60 runs obtained
by Webster's side, though all but two made
some runs. Hoods 81 was freely hit inn
ing, which showed ne is going TO duplicate
his successful batting of last year. Reid,
who made 8, showed good form and PROM
iSes to be valuable member of his club.
Robertson and Banner bowled well, as
they always do, and a new bowler was dis
covered in Jones. He is a medium-pace
bowler, with high overland delivery, and
breaks his balls well from the off.
