SERMON AND SONG.
The Theory OF Sin-A Magnificent
Musical Service.

The Theory OF Sin-A Magnificent
Musical Service.
The services at the Westminster Church
Sunday, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Herbert Mott, whose sermon dealt with
the Unitarian theory OF sin, its origin, its
measure and its universally. The Unita-
rian doctrine concerning sin is that it
arises from mans power of choice; that
though knowing the right he doeth it
not. knowledge OF good and evil results
is standard which each one sets for him.
self, but which no one succeeds in
reaching-hence all sin. Sin is therefore
personal; individual. 1t is not inherited,
there is nothing in human nature that
hinders il from attaining the ideal. The
Calvinistic teaching of inherent sin Is
unnatural and leads to despair.
Unitarianism teaches that sin is universal
because every man and woman though
having the power and opportunity to live
perfect lives fails TO do so, i. G., fails to do
the good that they know of.
The musical portion OF the service con-
sisted of an anthem, "Hear, Oh, Lord !"
by Watson, rendered by the quartet.
The quartett work was nicely balanced
and well shaded. Miss Priscilla White
sang ''These are They Which Come Out
Of Great Iribalattions,r from
Was well sulieu w ner VOICE, CONTAINING
as does most of Gaul's music those dra-
matte climaxes, sustained passages and
vivid contrasts that are so little heard in
church music. Miss Annie Dean sang a
solo from the same work" Come ye blessed, -
with beautiful effect and such clear
enunciation that the recitative character
of certain passages was artistically
marked. The final anthem was so Give
Thanks Unto the Lord" by Jackson.
The evening service was devoted to vesper
music and short address by the pastor.
The musical program consisted OF "The
Soft Sabbath Calm" by Shelley; "Abide
With Me-" by Wagner, arranged by
Schneider; "Fear not We, o. Israel" by
Buck, sung by Miss White; LEAD Kindly
Light" by Sullivan, and "Ye Shall Dwell
in That Land" by Stainer.

The Sugar Schedule of VIII
son Bill Under Discussion.
VARIOUS PROPOSITIONS MADE.
Warm Arguments Made by Both
Sldes-In the Senate Lodge, Wanted,
Report from the Civil Service Com
mission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The fight to
amend the sugar schedule OF the Wilson
bill was made in the House
today. Before the first emend-
ment was offered there was some
discussion as TO whether the amendments
should be to each OF the three sections of
the Wilson bill schedule separately.
Pending an agreement as To the mode
OF procedure, MIR. Hit (Rep., Ill.) with
drew the amendment pending last Satur-
day with reference to reciprocity with
Canada on free coal.
IL was agreed that the Louisiana mills,
which are most interested, should have an
hour and the remainder OF the House
should take changes of recognition OF the
chair during the OF her two hours.
The first amendment was that offered
by Mr.. McRae (Dem., Ark TO abolish
entirely the sugar bounty, and leave sugar
on the free list.
The time when the Treasury was bank
rupt and the Secretary OF the Treasury
VS. proposing to borrow money at five
per mt. interest, was no time TO ply q
special bounty 10 any interest, argued MIR.
McRae. t+
The bounty was demonstrations, aud
un-Democratic. 1t cost last year s10,0o0,-
600.
Mr.. Meiklejohn offered as an amend
inent TO that OF Mr.. McRae the sugar
bounty proposition OF the Mckinley law.
Mr.. Dockery Dem,, MOI offered as
substitute for both amendments q propo-
sition to abolish the bounty on sugar and
place refined and raw sugar on the free
list.
Mr.. Boatner (Dcm., La.) wanted to
know why Mr.. Dockery did not strike
down all duty and all protection.
The latter replied that all reforms could
not be accepted in day. The farmers
who followed the plough did not demand
n bounty on wheat or corn. All they
wanted was an equal chance in the area
OF life.

At MUSIC HALL.
The Services Yesterday Were Very
Largely Attended.

The Moody services at Music Hall yes
tcrday attracted large congregations aud
the interest seems to be on the increase.
The evangelist selected for his subject
" The Bible" He emphasized the point
that the sacred book should be
taken as whole and not in
part. He believed that it.was mas
ter stroke OF satan TO get the people to
doubt any portion of the Bible. He hts
accomplished a great point IL he can bring
about a feeling of doubt and perplexity,
and IL is calculated to overthrow many a
mans and woman's faith. He illus
trated these declarations by charac-
teristic and effective anecdotes, and
thanked God that more Bibles had been
printed and distributed in the last eight
years than i'm 1900 years. IL has
been translated into 800 different
languages, IL Is going TO the
darkest corners of this earth.
He wanted the audience TO bring their
Bibles. IL was a good thing TO wear them
out. He didn't like those gilt-edged
Bibles that look as II they had never been
read. Don't be afraid to soil them.

a TRIFLE SHY.
Mississippi Senatorial Aspirants Not
laundering After "a Years Job.
IN TJlc Axsorintc,I pJrss,

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Advices received
here indicate that the aspiring men of
Mississippi, who wish to succeed the seat
which Senator Walthall has resigned in
the senate, ARE perplexed over the situation
and uncertain what course Mr.. Walthail
may decide upon when his present term
shall expire and his new six year term be-
gin, on the fourth OF March, 1895.
The men looked upon rs aspirants for
the Office are already holding offices. They
are Governor Stone, Chief Justice Camp
bell and the Mississippi members OF con-
gress.
The latter, without exception feel conf
dent OF reelection and consider that they
virtually have three years OF official life
before them. Hence they do not feel
tempted by the one year Office as senator
with probability OF having to surrender
the scat i'm case Mr.. walthall's
health should so improve 90 that
at the end OF that year he would feel
equal TO the trials OF another term and
would be called uponto assume the duties
OF the office. The governor and the chief
justice arc both ineligible 10 reelection,
but both have two years OF service still
before them, and have the same reasons
as the members for hesitating about enter
ing upon a contest for the senatorial seat.
