WILLIAM MlLLEh.
times, however, were trifles compared
with the crusades, when all Europe seemed
moved by one impulse to psecipitate itself
on Palestine, and at least 8, 600, 900 people
started for the holy sepulcher, of whom
not one in five lived to reach homo again.
OF individual fanatics England has
been singularly prolific. In the time Of
Charles II Lodowick Muggleton an.
nounced that God was in the form Of q
man and just six feet high; that the sun was
just three miles from the earth, and who
soever did not believe it should be damned.
The fifth monarchy men proclaimed the
earthly reign of Christ and proposed to
kill all rulers and magistrates who did not
accept him. A century later Richard
Brothers proclaimed himself "nephew. OF
the Almighty and prince of the Hebrews
to restore Jerusalem" and thousands sold
all they had to follow him to the Holy
Land. Lord George Gordon gathered 60,
900 men in Protestant association,
marched on parliament and thus brought
on the great riots of 1881, when London was
on fire in SO places at once. He later an
nounced himself convert to Judaism and
died in prison at the age of 43. Most
amusing of all was the delusion of Henry
Irving, for time the most popular preach
or in London. He took up the doctrine
that his followers could speak in "the un-
known tongues" Joanna Southcott origi-
mated a far more absurd delusion, which
cannot be described with decency.
In our own country every one has heard
Of William Miller, who scared several
thousand people into "jeeming fits" about
tho end If tho world NJ tho crOwd which
gathered in Indiana in 1843 to "go up
when the globe melted" of the Ascension
lists in various places and the truly wild
fanatics who followed Adams to the holy
Land. If any man imagines We are more
fanatical than our fathers, it will do him
good to read the history Of their foolish
ness. The truth is we are far moro con-
servative. We get excited about practical
things-work and wages, labor and capt.
tai, tariff, currency and railroads. We
shall, therefore, work our way out, for we
have demonstrated facts to work on.

III 1906 five "great cities" were laid
out in northeastern Ohio and given tho
names of famous old world cities. The
lots in them sold at prices which would be
fair today in the suburbs Of Cleveland
One of these ''cities" survives. The discov-
cry of a white clay deposit Of peculiar ex-
oellence made East Liverpool, O., con-
siderable town. In 1887 the assessed
valuation in Mobile and several other
southern cities was greater than it was in
any subsequent year till long after the war.
Jan. l, 1886, the banking capital of the
United States was $251, 900, 900; loans
and discounts, 1857, 600, 900. Sixty acres
in the very heart of New York city were

Decisions about trade and money, about
love, medicine, devils and government
of these wo have had thousands, but all
other decisions together do not compare
In number, persistency or evil results with
the decisions about religion. The reason
is obvious. All merely social or financial
decisions are soon corrected by experience.
In fanaticism there can be no such appeal.
1t is easy to prove that all communistic
societies hitherto have proved failures. All
the wisdom of the world cannot prove

toward his creatures. Alexander Camp
bell estimated the number of Christian
sects from the beginning at 666, which he
connected In some way with the mystic
number of the beast in Revelation, but
his estimate was far too low. The num-
Der certainly runs into thousands. OF the
Arians in Asia Minor alone there were Is
sects.
It is vain to figure on the loss Of life In
the long struggle between Arians and or
thodox. As single item it may be noted
that in one riot In Constantinople 8, 100
were killed, and the dry we'll in front Of
the church overlooked with the blood of
the slain. Tho next great question was,
