THE FIRST MAN.
DIR. Williams Suggests a Few Ideas
About Adam,

"Half Hours With First Things" is the
theme for a series of Sunday evening ad-
dresses by Rev. W. d. Williams, D. D., at
Plymouth Congregational Church. and be
delivered the first one last night, taking
for his subject This First Man"
1.-The book of Genesis has long been and
still is a great battle-ground" said DR..
Williams. where wise and learned men
meet and display opposing theories. Some
Que stions once regarded as contradictory
have long since been harmonized. and it is
therefore fair TO presume that questions
now open may, with deep learning. be
likewise closed and settled in the years to
come.
Science and revelation are one, and the
first man has not been exempt from search
ing scrutiny. Who was the first man? ? is
sill a disputable thing. The genesis OF
mans glory began with Adam. That man
existed primary to Adam is reasonably
true. as demonstrated Dy science.
Each period and principle In all crea-
tive VI ork tells of progress. The old was
once new, and the new very naturally be-
came old. 1t may have been so with the
progeni:or of our race and his cOiem pora-
ries and antecedents.

logically 5000 years ago. but progressively
it may have been still greater distance.

IN LITTLE THINGS.
Faithfulness in small Duties Marks
the Trustworthy.


Rev. George Edward Walk preached
yesterday at Trinity Church on the fol-
lowing text: HE that is faithful in that
which is least is faithful also in much, and
he that is unjust in the least is unjust also
in much" (St. Luke xvi:1O).
He said: II want TO speak this morning
on the duty of loving God in small things
and on the common occasions of life. In
the grandest life that was ever lived the
preponderance of little things over great
ones and of common occasions over extra
ordinary ones is very great indeed. The
plane on which most of US move is a
lowly one; our deeds must necessarily be
humble, our occasions commonplace. Ii
becomes US. therefore, to look both TO our
deeds and to our occasions.
''It will, perhaps, instruct US in prose-
cutting our inquiries to notice how little
we know concerning the relative import
ance OF events and duties.
"It is q fact of history and of observa-
tion that all efficient men, while they have
been men of comprehension, have also
been men of detail. Men who look after
little things are men to be trusted. 1t is
the principle that stamps the man.
There is more real piety in adorning a
small than greau occasion. Great occa-
sjons and shining deeds carry along with
them their own stimulus. Fidelity in the
small and irksome drudgeries of life deter
mines the real character.
THE disciples were poor; but the poor,
by the gift of two mites, often show more
love to God than the rich by large contri-
buttons out of their abundance. Faithful
in little, faithful in much; unjust in little.
and it Is true in all the Iamiications Of

DR.. SIMPSONS SUIT.
1t Was Stolen by a Law Student
Who Is Known as The
Attorney"

When DR.. William P. Simpson, one of
the assistant surgeons at the Receiving
Hospital, returned from his trip East about
five weeks ago and entered his rooms, on
the corner of Geary and Powell streets, he
missed something. What was it? He
puzzled over it and suddenly it flashed
upon his mind. His best suit Of clothes
had mysteriously disappeared. The suit
consisted of a fine Prince Albert coat.
fancy vest and elegant pantaloons, and he
had left 1t behind, as it was too good TO be
knocked around during a basty trip East.
Who could have taken them? That was
the question. He was al loss TO answer
it satisfactorily, so be thought the best
thing be could do was to seek the aid of
the police. He accordingly procured a
search warrant and the case was placed in
the hands of Detectives Gibson and An
thony.
An investigation by these officers
showed that the day after the doctors de-
parture for the East. young man about
his size and build walked into his rooms
coollytdivested himself of shabby suit
that he wore, and attired himself in the
doctors best suit. This was the only
clew the officers had to work upon.
On THURSDAY the doctor lost all patience
and upbraided the officers for their lack of
skill and ability. BE wanted his best suit
were taking such a long time to recover it.
He intimated that unless it was given in
his possession within few days, he would
be compelled to send for his taller and get
measured for 2 new suit.
This spurIed on the officers 10 greater
exertiOn. and last night while they were
in the Tivoli they espled a young man in
the audience wearing a Prince Albert coat
and bearing a striking resemblance in his
build to the doctor. They waited till the
performance was over. and as the young
man left the opera-hOuse they quietly took
him aside and asked him 10 accompany
them TO the City Prison.
When they got there he admitted that
the suit he was wearing was the one so
anxiously sought for by the doctor and he
had worn it daily for the past five weeks
and would be exceedingly sorry to have to
part with il.
His name is T. P. McArron, a law stu
dent. who belongs to San Jose, but he is
familiarly known to his friends there and
here as ''the attorney" He expressed con-
siderable surprise at being arrested, and
demanded that the officers should send for
his friend the doctor. who would make it
all right for him. The officers had some
thing else to do, and after booking him on
the charge of petty larceny left him to
the tender mercles of the prison officials.

felt in all of Tennyson's works. 1t is not
doubt and despair like Mathew Arnold's,
nor the optimism of Browning, who al
WAYS shows that be believes in soul and Is
very sure of God.
"The note of uncertainty 10 Tennyson's
works is really the result of the unique
position he occupied in relation to modern
thought.
The world has received new knowledge.
and men have not yet been able to Dring lt
into anything like spiritual light, for the
emotions Of men are always behind their
knowledge. Ii will take several genera
tlOn> for the emotions and intelligence TO
reach state of equilibrium with the vast
amount Of unemotionaliZed aad unspirit-
ualiZed knowledge of the nineteenth cen
tury.
The religious aspect of truth is ALWAYS
the last TO reveal itself. and the greatest
feat great poet can do is TO take great
facts and transfgure and spiritualizs them.
'Iennyson has faced this problem, he
has everywhere looked at the world from
the point of view OF the new science. 1t
was in connection with James Knowles.
the editor of the Nineteenth Century, that
be has stated the creed to be found a the
bottom Of everything he has written
1 believe that there is something watch
ing over US, and that our individuality en-
dures.'
For Tennyson God is the one reality
the universe. the world are only the ex-
ternal manifestations of the power upon
which they all depend. 1t is curious how
often be speaks of the world as the shadow
of God"
The speaker then read the lines from the
Ancient Sage, beginning:
For knowledge Is the swallow on the
surface of the lake" using the quotation
TO emphasize the fact that Tennyson thor
oughly realized how science teaches US of
the limitations placed on our own knowl-
edge. 1--WE only know the things around
Us IN their relation to our own fine organs
of sense. Sir John Lubbock has shown
that there are little insects which have
sense organs 10 meet the world in a man.
ner which is closed to us, therefore we can
see how absurd it is for humanity to i'm
agine that knowledge is summed up In
themselves.
"Tennyson shows there is vast field of
which we know nothing, and in which it
Is perfectly right for faith 10 have scope.
There are all surts of aspects in this world
which, constituted as We are, we cannot
know. Tennyson believed that there Is a
whole spiritual meaning in the universe,
which is now hidden from u.s."
The professor then read the passage con-
taining the lines, "WhO knows but that the
darkness is in man." drawing attention 80
the fact that TennysOn does not hesitate
before the new thought, but uses it with
a spiritual eye.
In conclusion, Professor Hudson quoted
from the poem on the late Duke OF Clar-
ence. THE face of death is turned toward
the sun Of life" and also the passage from
In Memoriam": The dead are not dead,
but alive"

ADAMS SIN AND GODS GRACE.
Sin Did Not Originate With Man, but
Existed Before Him.

The lesson of Mrs. Cooper's Bible class
Yesterday was based upon Genesis iii Ills.
During the lesson many of the ladies and
gentlemen present took part in the discus
sion. Mrs. Cooper said: 1T is the same
now as in the early days OF the world
temptations come through those things
that are pleasant to the eye and that ap-
peal and minister to the senses and to our
pride. And now. as then, conscience
makes towards of US all. There is no
safety in laying the blame Of our own
evildOing upon another Every man is re-
sDonsibie for his own sin. Our own choice
determines our destiny.
MANY Bible scholars have considered
the scenes depicted in these verses as
largely alegorical. There are similar ira
ditIons that have been preserved among
all the ancient peoples of the earth-all
have their legends of the serpent. the
tempter and of the trees of life and knowl-
edge. Il is evident that sin did not origi-
nate with man. Il was in the universe
before mans creation. The tempter was
evidently sinner.
The serpent was regarded as cunning,
crafty and wise. aud was looked upon with
a sort Of wnrshipful fear. l suppose that
was why Moses lifted up the braZen ser
pent in the wilderness.
The doctrine that all mankind must
suffer punishment for Adams sin is a SLAM
der on the character of a righteous God.
Such doctrine makes infidels. We suffer
for our own sins, not for Adams sin. The
world has had unjust views of God, based
upon maD-made theories. What would
we think of an earthly father who would
persist in sending into the world paralytics
and insane AID diseased children TO curse
the world? Every human being has the
power to choose the good, else he would
not be a responsible being. The only sin
