MRS. CO0PER'S BIBLE CLASS.
Genuine Christianity Knows Nothing of
Caste of Claaa.

Genuine Christianity Knows Nothing of
Caste or OF Class.
There was great freedom of discussion In
the Bible class of Mrs. Cooper yesterday on
the subject of Peters vision. To be work
ers together with God, said the teacher. we
must get rid of all notions of caste and of
class. They are brothers who are one in
faith, one In hope, one In SOUL Peter was
taught this lesson In a vision. lie had his
notions about caste, but the vision took
them all out of him. People who live very
near to God and the eternal world are
granted heavenly revelations. The soul in
its essence belongs to that higher order of
things. ut lies about us like coud. the
land we do not see," and the experiences of
these early disciples may come to all deyopt
souls who live as seeing him who is inyisi-
bic. Peter was shown what the Lord
wouid nave nun 90. 90 may we be shown
our duty. The essential lesson for us TO
learn Is this. We may all know the will of
God concerning US If We seek to know II

inner voice saying, This is the way.
walk ys in it." The vision came TO
Peter IN manner corresponding TO his
spiritual susceptibility, and it came when Ina
was praying. Our hours Of devout suppli-
cation are Gods hours of conscious commu-
Dication. God heals the cry of the deyout
heart everywhere. In every age he that
feareth God and worketh righteousness is
accepted of him. Just as "Enoch walked
with God and was not, for God told him.
Emo CHI had no Bible. yet he walked with
God. No human heart that ever hungered
after righteousness was ever left unted or
unnourlshed. Peter had to be taught the
great lesson of human brotherhood, that no
matter what the vocation, or what the pedi-
gree, "a mans man for o. that" Oo

Christ-like philanthropy and love. Only
thus shall we ever be prepared for higher
communications, wider service. deener
suffering and nobler sympathy. Mrs
Cooper then went on show that whenevar
large development Of truth is needed bv the
world God always gives the needed Insight
to some Of his faithful followers. Every
true disciple has visions that enlarge his
LIE. No true Christian soul can be shnt nm
within the walls of mere earthly material,
ism. A soul that Is truly born from abova
feols the breezes from the hereafter AZ the
land feels the breezes from the ocean. The
life that now is, is pervaded by the reach of
the lie which Is to come.

A Novel Entertainment Which Filled
Irving Hall.
The members Of the Fren ch colony OF this
city crowded Irving Hall to the doors last
evening, the attraction being a dramatic en-
tertanment in French, under the direction
OF Messrs. A. Loiseau and J. 3. Perron.
The first piece presented was the "Noces
de Jeanette" comic opera by V. Masse.
The part ofiJeannette, the village belle, was
played by Mile. Julie Cote, pupil Of Mr..
Perron in singing, and of NJ. a. Loseau in
eioeuIion. IL was easily apparent that the
young lady has much to learn before be-
coming Sara Bernhardt, but she sang
naturally and acted without self-conscious-
ness. She has a pleasing light soprano
voice aud liberal share of yiyacity and in
teligence.
NJ. Perron, as the lover Jean, was very
amusing and made his points effectively,

The only double which remains to be

The winners will then play single bout

Considerable betting on the event Is being
done with the odds in favor Of DAILY and

That Uncle Sam Once Tried to

Alleged That Uncle Sam Once Tried to
Buy the Congo Free State.
ANTWERP, March 10.-The Handels-
bland says that the United States gov
ernment recently made an offer to the
king Of the Belgians to purchase the
Congo Free State and to defray all the
expenses incurred by Belgium in con
nection with that country; also to pay
an indemnity to Belgium. The paper
adds that the king rejected the Ameri-
can governments proposal. The state
ment receives no credence in official
circles.
The Congo river and Free State was
constituted and defined by the general
act of the international Congo confer
ence of Berlin in 1885, and entered into
treaties with all the great powers by
which its status a3 a sovereign power
was recognized. AT the same time the
boundaries of the new state were settled.
Its area is estimated at 1,770,000 square
miles, and its population at Al 600 000.
There are 1870 territorial divisions, the
capital being Bona. The central gov
ernment is at Brussels, and consists of
the king of the Belgians as sovereign
and three departmental chiefs. On the
Congo there is an administrator general
under whom are several European ad-
ministrators of stations and districts
Among the chief exports are rubber,
ivory, coffee, nuts and palm oil. Gold,
copper and other metals have been dis
covered. The army consists of 1894
black men commanded by European Of
ticers. The navy comprises five steam
boats in the lower Congo and nine on
the upper Congo, besides small fiotilla.
