SUNDAY
sermon by Rev, Powell In the Methodist
Episcopal Church

Sermon by Rev, Powick In the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
On Sunday evening the pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church delivered the
first of a course of Sunday evening SER
mons on fools. The subject was 1.-THE Evo-
luton of n Fool" The text was from
Romans, 1-22i "Professing themselves to be
wise they became FOOLS" Evolution has
been proclaimed rs "the last-born BenjA-
min of modern science" By this theory
il is proposed to Dust God from his universe
and to account for its existence without
him. But the substance of the evolution
theory is. twenty-four centuries old.
Buddha, the Hindu philosopher, was its
father. Darwin was its step-father. One of
its advocates justly defines it as ''continu-
Gus progressive change according to certain
laws and by means of resident forces"
But however men may speculate, the only
changes of which man has any certain
knowledge, and which are due to resident
forces exclusively, are not of a progress
sive but retrogressive nature. So far as
mental and moral development are con-
cerned the only product of evolution, pure
and simple, with which we are familiar is
the fool. When man becomes SO wise as to
rely on resident forces exclusively, the
process Of becoming of which he is the
subject end in a fool every time. The
moral fool stated with a sufficient knowl-
edge of God. He held the truth in un'
Righteousness and so the fool" simply
''became"-i. G. evolved. The brightest
scholar in the world-the man who is fullest
of those resident forces which colleges are
supposed to bestow-will soon become g
fool if he depends upon resident forces"
The purest saint-he who is most fully
possessed of the fruits of spiritual culture
will find if he relies on resident forces ex-
clusiyely, that his continuous progressive
change" will be downward and backward,
Whatever may be the revelations Of the
microscope and the speculations of the i'm
a~gination the facts of human history de,
clare in unmistakeable language that mere
evolutionary processes are downward and
only downward and that continually and
that all upward movements are the result
of intelligent effort, super-added to resident
resources and reinforced by external in
huences. To see the results of more evolu-
ton let a child be thrown on resident
resources. Let him care for himself from
birth-let him eat what he can get-let him
learn what he can pick up-let him read
what comes along-let him follow his own
inclinations-snd what have you got2
} Will he evolve upward or downward Ii
not the world cursed with multitudes Of
such evolutionary monstrosities2 We see
} then our dependence upon external helps
and the Importance of loyalty to the truth,
1t is only because men do not like to retain
God in their knowledge that they become
vain in their i~maginations and their foolish
heart is dsrkened and, protesting them
selves to be wise, that they become fools.'
The subject of the next sermon Of the
, course will be "The Theology of the Fool

THEATRES AND MUSIC HALLS.



During the present season Providence
has had nearly everything that is good in
relation to music except really good comic
opera. To be sure we had Agnes Hun
tington aud Captain Therese," but il did
not have much to commend IL after the
individual work of the star was consid-
cred. ship Ahoy," did not satisfy the
people, although their demands were not
exacting The Providence Opera House
is occupied this week by the j. C. Duff
Comic Opera Company. Last night they
presented Lecoqs three act opera, "The
Queens Mate" in a most creditable man
ner. Ii was not only creditable but cx-
cellent. There was no need for noisy
demonstration on the part OF the orchestra
10 cover up defects in the work of the
principals or chorus. The comedians
were funny, and the funniest was easily
selected as Richard II. Carroll who played
the part of lingo. The music is of a bright
and airy nature The recitatiyes are short,
the dialogue always productive or
laugh. a notable solo last night was
rendered by Miss Helen Betram. Scene
one of act three represents the entrance
TO the ampitheatre and Ii is here that Miss
Betram describes in song the conflict be-
tween the bull and torredore in the arena
beyond a chorus of twelve male voices
assist her and the singing is magnetic and
accompanied with an earnestness of eX-
preston that at once pleased and charmed.
The applause that followed was we'll de-
served and the lady was asked to repeat
it twice, which she did. Applause is
always welcome and sought after, by
theatrical people especially, but when "a
singer acquits herself as creditably rs she
did last night the audience should bestow
its praise but not demand in payment that
the singer should sing until the music be
comes blurred by hoarsness. Miss Bettina
Gerard, w. III. Clark, John Il. Rafael,
Henry Stanley and Melville Stewart have
leading parts that they are well qualified
to fill. The opera is well staged, the
chorus is prettily costumed, we'll drilled
and large. It's worthy of support as the
best comic opera and best equipped com
pany that has been in Providence this
season. Tonight the bill will be "Paola,"
a comic opera by the author of "Erminie,p
which is recommendation enough TO ill
the theatre. THE Queens Mate" will be
sung Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday matinee. 'Paola"
tonight, at the matinee tomorrow and on
Friday night.

Dramatic Hall.

Last night Harle, Bavardo, the well
known colored tragedian, made his first
appearance in this city in scenes from
Othello. He was ably supported by Paul
Roman, rising young italian actor, as
Iago. Dramatic Hall was filled with
lovers of the histrionic art, who encour-
aged the performers TO put forth their
best efforts. AS Othello, "a role which Mr..
Bavardo is peculiarly fitted to assume, he
was natural easy and graceful, and several
times the life and character he infused
into the character he personated elected
hearty applause.
Mr. Bavardo was educated for the stage
in Boston and Chicago, and has been
before the public rs Othello, Hamlet,
Macbeth and in lighter characters since

The formation in Providence Of an as
sociation for the furtherance Of char
liable work upon enlightened principles
is movement upon which Providence
is TO be heartily congratulated. The
need Of such organization has long been
recognized in the larger cities, where
poverty is more insistent than here.
Great Britian's charities lead the world
In this respect, as well they might with
over three million wholly or in part de-
pendent upon public or private relief.
Our own large cities are not backward
in the matter, and in Germany, France
and every civilized nation there are
smaller numbers of similar organiza-
tions. 1t is quite time for Providence
to join the procession.
Organized charity has best learned its
lessons in London, where over 600,0 600
''cases," many of them representing
whole families instead Of individuals,
are upon the books of the forty districts,
and where the very vastness Of the evil
to be combatted has called into being a
machine whose perfect working calls
forth the admiration of all beholders.
From its main offices near the Strand the
general managers control a small army
of visitors and agents, many paid and
many more volunteer, who promptly
investigate every application for relief,
without which investigation no help
whatever is afforded. Ia the prosecu-
tion Of the work much native shrewd-
ness has been developed. 1t was Mr..
Gardiner of the Newington branch who
caused a sensation in London recently
by his report on the condition of assisted
emigrants in Canada, which the other
commissioner had described in more
glowing terms than the facts warranted.
Miss Darbishire of the same branch has
been half around the world upon mis-
sion of inquiry into charitable methods.
Messrs. Price, Loch and others of the
central tftite- are cfffcfcrrt bUTsi11uss InUn
managing a business concern.
1t is the essential nature Of such an or
ganization as that formed last night, i'll
the main upon the lines Of the great
London Association, to be the medium
not of giving relief, but of directing, in
forming and protecting the givers. I'M
organized charity - the promiscuous
doling of alms-does more ham than
good by weakening the self respect and
self-supporting power of the recipients.
It is much to the credit Of the philan-
thropic people of Providence that they
desire to put their money not only where
it will do the most good, but where it
will do no harm, and that they are plan
ming to put something more than money
time, attention, forethought, care,
energy-into the work of beneficence.

THE TWO REPORTS.

Two reports from the Ways and
Means Committee of Congress upon the
free wool bill were commonly expected,
and their general argument and conclu-
sion could as easily have been foretold,
yet the reports are as interesting in de-
tail as they are all important 10 the i'm
terests OF the country. The first skir-
mish OF the free trade battle will be
fought upon free wool. Ii is well to
note the positions upon that question Of
the two political parties.
The majority repeat the often-heard
assertion that the tariff rates on wool
are unnecessarily high, and that protec-
tion has decreased the number of sheep
east of the Mississippi river. oblvious of
the fact that the same might with equa
truth be said of cattle grazing, wheat
culture and every industry in which
broad and cheap acres are a necessary
factor. Even if the sheep are now
very largely pushed TO the extreme West
and to Texas, is there in the fact any
convincing argument for wiping out the
industry altogether!
The minority, on the other hand,
claim that under the new law the num-
Der of sheep kept has rapidly increased,
that from both wool growers and wool
manufacturers there comes almost unani-
nous sentiment that the law may be
permitted TO stand as it is: that the
number of woolen mills in the country
has also increased; u great amount of
idle machinery has been started up; old
mills, long idle, have been re-equipped;
large numbers of operatives have been
employed and new industries nave been
inaugurated; that the people are able to
secure all the woolens they require at q
smaller cost than ever before; that con.
slant tariff changes are a menace to
stable business conditions, and that re-
vision has already vindicated itself, by
greatly enlarging our field for industrial
enterprise, and has disproved every pre-
diction of higher prices and universal
disaster which greeted its enactment.
The minority report is strong and
statesmanlike paper. 1t will not deter
Mr. Springers party from passing the
free wool bill, but it will have its effect
upon the country.
