CHRIsToLoGY AND THEOLOGY
Why Rev. w. j. LhamOn Prefers
the First to the Last.

AT Christ church yesterday morning
Rev. w. j. Lhamon preached Oh
'Christology and Theology" His text
was, "God was in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself" ii. Cor. W, l9. He
said:
"a good friend has criti cised me for
preaching so much about Christ and so
little about God. Really, since | come
to think about it, it is good fault.
"ln preaching so one finds himself in
keeping with the spirit of his own times.
1t is an intensely practical age. We
must see and feel and know. Specula-
ton is below par. Eyes. ears and finger
ends have asserted their supremacy III
the world of investigation. Practical
religion demands practical basis; tangi-
BILE religion tangible basis. We worship
easiest one whom we can see and touch
and hear. God, though truly God, is in
visible, intangible, inaudible. We can
know Him only AS we know lie, that is
by knowing things that are alive. In
philosophy God is an abstraction; in
theology He is dogma; in science he
is The Unknowable; in Christ He is a
friend, a lover, forgiven, father,
conquerer of death, an eternal savior.
Christ is Gods best, aid therefore final,
revelation. Christ is fact; He is his
tory; He is undeniable; His life was
above reproach; His love never failed;
in His resurrection lie conquered
death; in Him we have practical, act
tual, historic center and source of re-
ligious life. One who breaches Christ
meets the demand for the actual.

The Word is made flesh. The picture
reveals the painter; praise that and you
praise Him. Using present day buSi-
ness phrase, Jesus represents the heav-
enly house; God tranSacts His business
with this world through Christ. We
must transact our business with God in
the ame way.
Theology is speculative; it results
in creeds, quarrels, dogmas and divis-
ions. The last thousand years are
proof enough of that. Christology is
practical; it results in home and foreign

ALIENS PET LADIES.
Some of Their Peculiarities as
Viewed With the Ministerial
Eve

Some of Their Peculiarities as
Viewed With the Ministerial
Eye.
Perhaps the most sensational sermon
ever delivered in Minneapolis was
preached at the Lake Street M. E.
church last evening by the pastor, L.
F. Allen. His subject was The Strange
Woman" and without much prelimin
ary talk he plunged into the point
of his discourse, and with words
so plain that they could not be
misunderstood, he held his audience for
over an hour, with one of the most
scathing attacks on the social evil that
has ever been administered in the city.
He began by describing the early life
of Blue Livingstone, one of the most
notorious characters of Grand Forks.
She was a beautiful girl in her
youth, but loved too well, and
after her betrayal and ruin
she swore vengeance on all mankind.
According to Rev. Allen, she is carry
ing out her plans with the most dam
nable results.
How it was possible for women to fall
so low he claimed was an unsolved
problem.
A hasty description of strange women
in general, their term of life, the num-
ber that have reformed in the past, and
the probability of reform in the
future, if certain plans were
carried, was given. Her house was
next described as being the way to hell.
He held that it was deplorable state
was used between last night and this
morning in the various houses of ill
fame in the city that sensation greater
than that ever preached by any minis
ter would be made. He believed in
being honest in the matter, and
meeting the evil face to face. The next
question was What are you going to
do about it?" Several ways were sug-
gested to bring about different orier
of things. "Change the temper of So
ciety so that the young men, the parties
of the first part in this evil, will be COM
PEELED to stand by the side of the
woman he has helped to degrade. and
not be received into society. He held
that society was improving somewhat i'll
this respect.
In his afterlude. Mr.. Allen read lists
of saloons which had been found open
week ago yesterday, with the number
of men found drinking in them, as we'll
do q llot VI tIlC uidldiiio VIII WcIO HHSu
in the municipal court the present
month. He would give these lists and
other information to the grand jury if
desired: but was of the opinion that they
would not care for it. Among the
saloons mentioned were the Casino,
where it was claimed that twelve men
were found, eight of whom were said to
be drinking, one man having a child
with him. At the Merchants. on Nicol-
let avenue, both front and back doors
were found open and six men found
drinking.

were unlimited. AS examples of this
genius she cited Beethoven epd Raphael.
She said, however, that the person who
performed these works must of himself
possess certain gifts and talents beside
being susceptible to the spirit infiu-
ences. Beethoven, she said, possessed
great musical ability, but this was en-
HANGED and intensified by the spirit in
fiuences which were able to work
through him.
Speaking of Shakespeare, she said he
was singularly we'll qualified naturally
to receive these spirit forces. He was
man of great perception, wonderful i'm
az NATIVE powers and keen wit, and was
also negative In character-that is, he
was without strong prejudices. He was
not what could be termed medium,
but should rather be called a sem
sltiye. through which the spirit
forces could readily work. She ar
gued that the chronological order
of Shakespeare's plays could
be readily determined blythe character of
the plays themselves. Shewould divide
them into four classes. The frst-cIass
were written when he was young and
before he had become familiar with the
work OF writing plays, although some of
them must be classed among his best
efforts. One of these was midsummer
Nights Dream" Then he developed and
become susceptible to different charac
ter OF spirits. He wrote historical plays,
such as Richard the I'LL" Another
change took place in his character and
still other spirits worked through his
agency. 1t was at this stage that he
wrote his very dramatic plays, liking
Lear" Macbeth and "Hamlet."
Later he passed into what might be
termed the contemplative stage, as may
be seen by Winters Tale' and Gym
Deline."
OF Shakespeare as a spiritualist, Miss
Judson said that in many of his works
there could be found evidences that he
was believer, notably in the Temp
est" The three witches who whispered
temptations into Macbeth's ear, simply
represented spirits which sought to
work evil through his agency. They
made similar attempt with Banquo.
but he would not listen to them. She
also referred TO the deathbed vision of
who. she claimed, simply
received visitation from the
spirit world. The Tempest" she
claimed. was filled with evidences of
spiritualism. He pict-
dred ProsperO as medium and Ariel
as fspirIt, and, i'll fact, all through the
book strong indications of the authors
belief in spiritualsm could be found.
she claimed that Shakespeare
made great mistake in making Pros
pero burn his book and give up his con-
nectlOn with the spirit world.

THE CITY'S ANSWER.
Phiiadelphia's Comptroller Saws
the State Owes the CITY.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.-City Comp
troller Thompson to-day forwarded a
communication to Attorney General
Hensel in response to letter received
from that official yesterday, notifying
him that the state intended to bring
suit against the city to recover 1922
Ol3.1l, unless settlement was made in
ten days, in which he contends that the
commonwealth has no claim against
the city. The letter states that no Off
clal recognition of this claim can be ac-
cepted by the city comptroller's de-
partment from the fact that no records
were filed with that department by John
Bardsley while acting in the capacity
OF fiscal agent of the state, and for
which he gave bond to the common
wealth for the faithful performance of
the duties thereof. The comptroller
further says: The amount claimed as
due the state has been paid by the re-
celver OF taxes to John Bardsley, and
III our opinion, instead of the city
of Philadelphia being indebted to
the state for the amount as set forth
In your communication, we claim that
the state is largely indebted to the city,
not only being entitled to one-third of
all personal taxes collected under the
act of June, 1889, but in addition to
Which a number of other discrepancies
have been discovered. for which, in nv
opinion, the state is clearly liable.''

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Northwest Trade-The Importance, IN
commercial sense, in having the ma
tional convention here has enlisted the
interest of this journal, and we have re-
peatedly urged upon those who might
be most directly concerned in the mat
ter, the vital necessity of prompt action.
One very considerable reason for promp-
titude now lies in factor which we do
not remember to have seen mentioned
in connection with Minneapolis effort;
that is to say, the approaching meetings
of the National Editorial association
and the Minnesota State Editorial asSo-
ciatlon, to be held in the near future at
st. Paul. With properly organized COM
mittees. and especially with the CO.
operation of convention press bureau,
tremendous leverage ought to be gained
at once through personal proselyting
among the editorial brethren from all
over the country who will attend those
meetings. No event could be so oppor-
tune for Minneapolis advantage in the
effort to secure the National convention
at the presence of these two conventions
in st. Paul.
Spectator-If public parks are for the
people they should not be so hedged
about with SenSeleSS restrictions as to
destroy all sense of freedom and enjoy
ment. The tough" rowdy element is
not the kind who resort in large num-
bers to the parks, but the crowds in
such places are largely made up of fam
fly parties, of women and children, and
quiet, thoughtful persons
''Nho in love of Nature hold
Communion with her visible forms''
and drink in health and inspiration
with the pure air and happy surround
ings. The insults of brutal park police
who. in order to find exercise for their
'brief authority" try to- enforce the
letter rather than the spirit of the law,
are doing much to nullify the beneficent
ends for which the public parks were
established. a few more grains of
common sense should be infused into
the park government.
Irish Standard-We know that it is
the mayors highest ambition to make
the police force second to none in the
country, and he will do that if he is
forced to drop every man of the present
force from the list. But while there are
a few men connected with the force
whose lease of official life is very short,
the great majority is composed of able,
intelligent. conscientious officers: men
who would die sooner than do anything
that would reflect on themselves OF
their superintendent.

SHAKESPERE A sPIRITUALIST
Miss Abbie Judson Sizes Him Up
From That Standpoint.

The feature of the spIritualist meet
ing held last evening at the hall, 624
Hennepin avenue, was lecture by
Miss Abbie Judson upon 1.-THE Spirit
ualism of Shakespeare" By way of in
PRODUCTION, Miss Judson stated that
there were two phases of this subject to
be considered. First. whether Shakes
pere was a sensitive and worked by the
forces transfused into his personality
by those who had passed beyond, and.
second, whether he was himself spirit
ualist and showed in his writings eyi-
dence of his belief in spiritualism.
She argued that persons who are still
in the flesh were enabled to do work
which they could not otherwise accom-
plish by means of the forces lent them
by decarnated individuals. and stated
that this. in her opinion. produced the
difference between talent and genius.
A man of talent was able to accomplish
works by virtue of his own forces and
out of himself, and his powers were lim-
tied. while the man of genius worked
by the forces poured into his soul by
decarnated beings and his capabilities

ADJUSTMENTS.

Lifts Stock company presented "The
Streets of New York" to a good house
at the Bijou last evening. Playgoers
are familiar with this piece, with all its
incongruous situations and lines and its
unreal melodrdma. 1t is sufficient to
say of the performance that the
company presenting it now lift
ed its mediocrity and made
of 1t something to be applauded. Louis
James as Badger, of course, made the
hit of the evening. From Virginius,
the Roman father, to Badger, is some
thing of journey, but Mr.. James makes
1t successfully. He is as good a come
dian as he is tragedian, and that is
saying good deal. Frank Losee made
strong Gideon Bloodgood. George
r. EdesOn and 10 Paige Smith,
as Puffy and his son Dan,
caught the audience. Mrs. Selden IT.
win was an admirable Mrs. Puffy. Miss
Victory Bateman as Lucy Fairweather.
and May Merrick as Aida Fairweather
were strong. Miss Merrick seems cut
out to play hard, cold, adventures
parts. All the others were satisfactory.
A fair-siZed audience witnessed the
farce-comedy, "a Corner Grocery" at
the Grand opera house last evening.

title roll was essayed by Phil McFarIan,
a clever comedian, who succeeded in
pleasing the audience almost as we'll as
Dan'l Sully, the originator of the part.
A number of SpecialtieS were introduced
and applauded. and on the whole the
performance gave entire satisfaction.
The "Mascot" will be presented at the
Lyceum tonight with all the favorites
of the Shaw Opera company in the
cast. The company is especially quail
fed for presenting light opera. being
by far the strongest and best popular
priced opera company that has ever ap-
peared here. Their performances last
week of "Olivette' would have done
credit to many high-priced opera COM
pany. AT the Saturday matinee all the
seats will be sold at % cents. the high
est-priced seat at night being only so
cents.

NO POMP OR PARADE.
So the Court House Corner Will Be
Laid.

The cornerstone of the new court
house and city hall will be laid one day
this week. There will be no elaborate
ceremonies. The board, or at least a
large proportion of its membership,
will be on hand, and there will be ar
rangements for showing people around
over the building if anybody wants to
attend. But there is to be no general
invitation, either by letter or through
the papers. The time of laying is not
yet determined. The stone will be in
one corner of the main tower on the
Fourth street side. 1t Will be up about
twenty feet from the sidewalk. The box
which Mr.. Preston will fill with the
souvenirs for another age will not hold
all that has already been ordered put
into it. This includes copy of every
newspaper published in Minneapolis
about eighty-which alone will m axe
bundle which will more than fill the
box. Mr.. Preston is at loss as to how
all the papers are to be given room. 1t
is probable that the last papers received
will be left out.
