THE NICENE CREED.
Discourse by Rev. Dr. Heber Nevte
 What the NIceue freed Is

Discourse by Rev. Dr. Heber Newton
 What the Nfcene Greed Is.
 NEW YORK, May 23.-Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, rector of All Souls P. E.) church, who is charged with holding and preaching heretical views, preached this morning on the Nicene creed. Some of the sermon follows: Calvin once said that the Nicene creed was only fit to be sung. That is it's noblest eulogy. Ringhtly understood, it's utterances form hymn of thanksgiving. The creed is poetic phil osophy, and, therefore, to be sung. Fancy the Westminster confession being sung To what music could it be seta propose to speak of the Nicene creed as the charter of the church;s liberty securing to it when rightly understood, the conditions of com prehensiveness and holding for Christian ity and for religion at large the secret of conciliation in the controversies which now agitate Christianity. It is an article of peace. The Nicene creed with the apostles creed are commonly spoken of as which have been handed down from an- tiquity as accepted by the church at large. Beyond these two creeds our church rec ognizes no other formal confession of faith.
 The Nieene creed is charter of liberty. It frees us from nine-tenths of the burning questions with which Professionalism is on fire to-day. What the Nicene creed af- l firms, however, is bounded upon every loyal child of the church. To deny the affirmation of that creed is to be disloyal. To accept 1oyally as the church's teaching what one's own individual mind fails to affirm is thoroughly honest attitude.

THE BIBLE.
What Dr. T. Dewitt TaImage Said in Reference 10 This Book in an Inhalation Sermon YesterdaY.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Rev. David James Burrell, D. D., late of Minneapolis, was to- day installed one of the miniters of the Collegiate church of New York in the church at Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street. Rev. Talbot w. Chambers, D. D., IL. D., presided Rev. Dr. T. Dewitt Talmage delivered the sermon. Rev. Peter Strycker gave the charge to the pastor and Rev. Dr. Elmendorf of Harlem gave the charge to the people. Dr. Talmage said: ''Old books for the most part are dear books. Large public libraries are the cemeteries for dead books. One book will never die-the Bible. There is no more evidence that Bryant wrote ''Thanatopsis" or that Longfellow wrote ''Evangeline" than that the Lord God through his holy prophets, evangelists me sick to see some of these young scien- lists who have just learned about the horns of beetle, walking about with a treatise about culture! The Bible should be read aright. Genesis is the door to enter and Revelations the door to go out. Nearly all the great books of the world are only the Bible diluted. Thomas Carlyle is only a magnificent distortion of Ezekiel. There's a great variety in the Bible, but no contra diction. Educate a mans head and you make him an infidsl; educate his heart and you make him fanatic; educate them both together and you have the noblest work of God. In all our cities we are wanting men who believe in a whole Bible, not in a Bible in spots"

Faith Curists Forced to Leave.

WINCHESTER, Ind, May 23.-A band of faith curists were forced to leave Lesant- vile yesterday. The people are angry and violent because a bright little boy recently died there after his parents had depended upon the faith curists to save him. It was bad case of scarlet fever, and after his death the disease spread into other fam flies. The people think that if capable physicians had been summoned promptly the boy might have been saved and the dis ease baffled. To-day, when the faith cur ists came here from Ohio to attend a sick woman, they were threatened by mob and had to get away at once.

 Against Insurgent Transports-The @
 POsitiOn of the InsurgeD2s Critical.
 PARIS, May 23.-The Chilian legation
 has Santiago advices claiming continued successes for the government party on land and sea. According to these dispatches the war ship Almirante Condell on the 17th attacked Iquique and discharged a topedo against the insurgent transports, the crews of which took refuge on land. The crews of the insurgent vessels muti- nied after sustaining heavy loss in killed and wounded. Disaffected insurgents at Tacna also mutinied, but were disarmed. On the night of the 18th the armed trans port Imperial bombarded Iquique while the Almirante Condell waited for the in surgent vessels to leave the bay in order to attack them, but subsequently, found they terward captured Taltal, routing the gar rison. The position of the insurgents ac- cording to this authority is everywhere critical, while the army of the government is loyal and we'll disciplined.
 CITY OF MEXICO, May 24.-Advices from Central America say that on Wednesday last steamer resembling the Itata was seen by coasting schooner. The coaster attempted to approach the steamer when the latter, which was running south, sheered off from her course. This was about thirty miles off shore.
 The reports published in the United States that the insurgent war ship Esmer- aida was short of funds are denied by the captain, who showed newspaper cores pondent letters of credit and cash amount ing to more than $50, 10000.
 The Mexican government states that no have been sent to Aca- pulco, as the garrison there is sufficiently strong to prevent the Esmeralda from landing or taking coal forcib1y. The gov ernment has no fear that the Esmeralda will attempt such feat
 WASHINGTON, D. o., May 24-This is the seventh day since any word has been received by the navy department direct from the commander of the cruiser Charleston. Secretary Tracy is of opinion that the vessel will be heard of next at Callao, Peru. Secretary Tracy's attention was called to the dispatches from San Francisco reiterating the statements made that an agreement had been entered into between the insurgent party of Chili and the United States government for peaceful surrender of the Itata. The sec retary, however, refused to discuss the question, merely saying that he had noth- ng to say about the matter. Inquiry of state department officials tonight elieited he reply that so far as they are aware no such agreement has been entered into.

PHILADELPHIA, May A.-The steamer La Flandre, from Antwerp, reports on the 18th instant she sighted the steamer Veen- dam burning signals of distress, her main shaft being broken. The La Flandre took her in tow for two days when the shaft of the Veendam was sufficiently repaired to allow her to proceed under her own steam. La Flandre left the Veendam at 9:45 p. m. on the 18th off the Grand Banks, proceed ing slowly under her own steam for New Work
