had been destroyed. The great need
was loyable God, and that was the God
Whom Jesus presented. The world
needed to go back to the religion
or Christ, not back to Calvin or
OF. Peter, or any other man,
but to Christ. That was where
the pure article of Christianity was to
be found. There was no doctrine or
dogma in the sermon on the Mount.
unItarians and Universalists and all
other liberal churches had been trying
Tor hundred years to bring out
the creed contained in this
love to God anf love to man
and had done it under obliquity
bar across the door of Christian
ity. 1t kept good men and women out
OF the Y. p. s. c. E. or Y. NJ. G. A. So
cletles. 1t determined the question of
mans Christianity. Liberal churches
cared not whether man believed in a
three-headed god or one with ten heads
1t only demanded that he be god of
love.
Here the speaker referred to the man
aHordlng the general theme Of the day
among the Baptist preachers the great
Spurgeon-and as an offset TO the nu-
merous eulogies given him yesterday
from the orthodox pulpits be quoted
from celebrated sermon of Spur
geon's in which he expressed the
profoundest belief in 4 real hell
of the old orthodox type, with
lost souls floating around in it,
enduring an eternity of torture.
Il don't doubt Mr.. Surgeons sincerity
or his honesty" said Rev. Sample, ''but
let us not be led away in our praises of
MN TO forget the gospel he preached.
Considering this as sample, l say
away with such infdelity."
A practical Christianity Mr. Sample
said he believed N Of all things, such a
one as accomplished such work as John
L. Scudder was doing in Brooklyn.
He would that some such scheme could
be carried out in Minneapolis. Il was
practical Christianity like that counted
And he would have his hearers under
stand that such Christianity as that in
Pilgrims Progress" wouldn't fill the
bill. The programme of Christianity
was the programme of people, and not
the saving of one poor little minutes
lmal soul like John Bunyan. If
man wanted to save his soul he
should forget entirely that he had one.
III Jesus dOuld come down here to-
day" said he, ''you would not find Him
in the fashionable churches, in the PAM
pered circles of luxury; He would be
where men are striving to do
away with monopoly and tyranny,
where men are trying to level
the social organism. He would be not
alone personal reformer, he would try
to stop the stream; He would be a So
cial reformer. The Christianity of the
sermon on the Mount and of the para
bies is the ideal Christianity. and it is
destined to be the absolute religion of
the future. The only creed is love to
God and love to man."
The services of the peoples meeting
next Sunday evening will be in the

The Tunnel CaHed.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. Feb. Nov. 20
fire and cave-in at Patton tunnel, on
the Louisville. Evansville & st, Louis
railroad, forty miles west of this city,
utterly wrecked the tunnel, which is
963 feet in length, and caused the
entire suspension of freight traffic. and
necessitated walk of a mile over the
wreck by all passengers. A large force
of men was put to work to repair the
the damage and the first train since the
disaster will pass through the tunnel
Wednesday. The reconstruction will
cost President Mackoy S150,0O0, and it is
safe to estimate his loss in business by
