DR.. Kent Says the Wage-workers Show the
Way TO the Combination
''If a man say love god and hateth his
brother he IS a liar" John, iy:zO, was DR..
Kents text at the Peoples Church yesterday
morning.
He said: ''What John means by hating
covers not only actual personal dislike, which
deliberately Injuries. hut selfish Indifference
which thoughtlessly works harm. With this
view il is easyto see the force Of the reasoning
with which Ohm DuttresseS his mphatic state
ment Ii man love not his brother whom he
hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath
not seen. II the sight OF human need does
not move US to benefcient activity. we maybe
sure there is no genuine love Of goodness in
our hearts.

Inefficient activities
The richest man inthe world, the president
OF the Standard Oil Company. is said to have
an annual income of 10000. 600. He is a
professed disciple of Jesus OF Nazareth, an
earnest and active member Of the Baptist de-
nomination and has recently given some mil
lions to endOw Baptist university. Only
few years ago he wa a clerk without any
fortune save his clear head.
By methods which the business world con-
slider legitimate be has won his way 10 for
tune. The sources Of his wealth he did no.
thing to create The oil which he has turned
into millions Tor MS Golfers is the product
of divine activities which have been going
on for countless ages. Is II credible that this
great deposit of infinite benefence in the
bank of mother earth was placed there chiefly
for the enrichment OF this one man and his
compeerst Is it possible that aay service that
he or they have rendered humanity entities
them TO the wealth.
such taking for self what be.onCs 10 all Is
business; It is not Christian. We must get
our Christianity worked into our business.
Society must be organized not merely TO pro-
tect its members against violence to person
and property. but against the aggressiOns OF
individual greed, cunning and selfshuess-
We say, bear We one auOther's burdens. and
so fulfill the law OF Christ; but in business We
seek success by shifting our burdens 10 the
shoulders OF others, and managing to reap
the profits of other peoples labors.
The only organized movement that looks
in the direction OF this Christian principle is
found among the wageworkers. Practically
they have said: We that are strong ought to
bear the indrmities OF the weak; they have
demanded the same pay for the weak as for
the strong-fOr the less skiliful as for the more
skillful-when engaged in the same kind Of
work. Self-interest rather than love OF
brother may be at the root Of this, but il is
something to have attained so large and wise
view OF seif-interest.
"a like discovery on the part of the whole
people will result in a social organism IN
which this principle will be universally ap-
piled and q competence assured to every
member of the nation"

productive of pernicious results. They are

ONE BILL THAT OUGHT TO PASS.

According to Senator Harris chairman Of
the Senate District Committee, there is not
much chance for the passage. at this session
Of Congress, of any of the bills Of local i'm
portance in which the people Of the District
feel a special interest This is unpleasant
news. for there are four measures that ought
10 become laws before the Fifty-third Con-
gress passes into history. These are: The
bill appropriating seven and a-half millions
for sewer and street extension, the Govern
ment Printing Office bill, the free library
bill. and the bill for new municipal build
ing.
OF the measures named the first two are, by
long odds. the most important. for both in
volve questions affecting the health Of people,
and. in the case OF the Government Printing
Ohice, their lives also. No matter how eco
nomically inclined the present Congress may
be in its expiring days. its frugality should
not 20 too far. The sewer and street extern
sion does not involve any immediate expendi-
ture. and the eventual payment of interest
and principal OF the bonds comes out OF the
rockets OF nobody but the taxpayers of the
District Of Columbia.
1t is different, Of course, with the Govern
nnent Printing Office. Whatever outlay is
here to be incurred must fall upon the gov
ernment. Yet the people Of every State are
interested in having a new structure take
the place Of the present death trap as soon as
possible. for the men and women there en-
ployed come from homes and have relatives

sOME OVERSIGHT,

Late advices received at the State Depart
ment indicate that Americans resident in Pc
kin are in danger from the assaults Of Chi
nese mobs and that, the nearer the Chinese
empire comes to its fall, the greater the peril
grows. Urgent dispatches are said to have
been received from Minister DENLY, in fact,
the gravity Of the situation is said to have
been impressed upon the government 50 en-
phaticaIly that for some days past the Navy
Department has been trying TO get one Of the
cruisers of the Asiatie squadron to proceed to
Tien Tsin.
1t has not succeeded, according TO most re-
cent accounts from there The Baltimore
Knd Charleston are somewhere in Asiatic
waters, but not within available distance Of
Tien Tsin, which is Pekin's seaport.
For weeks past both the State and Navy
Departments must have been aware-with
the rest Of the world-tbat a crisis was fast
approaching in the affairs Of China. In fact,
II is not unreasonable TO assume that they
were better informed than the general public.
Warnings have repeatedly been given that
Just such a condition Of things as now exists
would arise upon the defeat OF the Chinese
forces and the consequent collapse Of the
present Chinese dynasty.
1t seems strange, therefore, that no prepa-
ration should have been made for the contin-
gency which has arisen. The greater part Of
our new Navy is parading about in places
where it is Of no earthly use, when some Of
the vessels might just as well have been

where American lives are now in jeopardy.

WORDS OF \ HINDC PHILOSOPHER.
Prof. Gandhi, in Purple and Yellow. DeIiv
ers q Lecture ON OccuItisrn


Prof. Gandhi. in Purple and Yellow. DeIiv-
ers Lecture ON Occultism-
Clad in a picturesque costume of purple
silk. relieved by turban and broad sash of
canary yellow, Mr.. Virchand R. Gandhi, Z.
A., Hindu scholar and philosopher, Of Bonn
bay, India. stood on the platform at Masonic
Temple last evening and delivered his lecture
on ''Oecultism as understood in India"
The common idea of oecuitlsm IN this
country. ne said. Is that It IS something akin
10 magic. The true idea OF OccuittSm cannot
be grasped by the ordinary scientists because
they do not consider the soul. but only grasp
at the material matter. TheOiOEians or dog
maJists cannot realize OccuitiSm because they
explain everything by miracles. The Hindu
idea of occultism can be explained by the
theory OF mind and matter. We have no real
explanation from them of phenomena. When
they say motion is the cause of phenomena,
we differ with them and say motion is result
or cause OF the phenomena.
Another nineteenth century bugbear, said
the - lecturer, is the theory of positivism.
which holds that human being Is only
bunch of flesh, bones, and muscles, which
serves the purpose Of storing mans sensa-
tiOnS and feelings. Scientists, however, do
not say anything of the future OF the sensa-
tions and feelings.
The Jain religion. in India, of which Prof.
Gandhi is an exponent. announces the belief
that all the animate beings OF nature have
souls, even the planets and elements of ma
ture have their souls. But while the ordinary
Hindoos are committed to the mistake of
worshiping these souls of the forces of na-
ture and planets. the Jains worship only those
souls which have passed beyond the limits Of
materiality and have been living in the most
spiritual and blissful state.
The real object of oecu.tism is not simply
the performance of wonderful phenomena,
but to change the human soul from its ma
terial condition to the spiritual condition.
Another object always kept in view is that of
reaching the state of infinite bliss and knowl-
edge.
Mr. Gandhi will deliver another lecture on
the evening ofDecember at the home ofMrs.
Clara B. Colby, No. 1925 Tenth street north
west, commencing at O'Clock.

THE WHITE BABOON. infrequently con
descends to treat with distinguished con
sideration certain notable representatives
of the animal kingdom that may be
brought to his insular attention. The lat
est and most popular London hero of this
sort is n white baboon just imported from
the Transvaal
This animal is representative of a spe-
cies extremely rare-so rare indeed that
not only is this the only specimen in cap
tivity, but its existence has been regarded
as chimerical. 1t was captured two years
ago from its mother, when quite baby,
by party of Trek Beers in the Murchisas
Range district Of Johannesburg. Since
that time the baby has developed into a
full grown haboon of nearly feet in
height During the voyage from the cape
it suffered terribly from seasickness, but
has now quite recovered its health and ac-
tivity. The fur is perfectly white and very
long. In spite of its mature age milk is
still its favOrite food.
Balloons are very numerous in South
Africa and give the Boer farmers u great
deal of trouble by their mischievOus depre-
datiOns. They visit the plantations in
large bodies and carry off vegetables and
fruits to their retreats i'll the mountains.
They are strict vegetarians and live on the
fruits of these marauding expeditions, but
they also seem to take great delight in
wantonly destroying things they have no
use for. As they are very strong and Zero
Cious the farmers fear to follow them to
their retreats, and they are too cute to get
caught when they venture abroad They
never travel singly and always post senti-
nels to guard against surprise when rob
bling the farms. Hunters who have shot
them say their death agonies are exactly
like those of human beings, and their cries
of distress are pitiful in the extreme
Balloons are not easily tanned, but it can
be done if they are captured in infancy.
They are great imitators and may be
taught many amusing tricks. They are
also very mischievous and are liable to
destroy anything they can lay their paws
on if suffered to go at large. AS these
animals are very susceptible to cold and
seldom live long when removed from their
native tropical climate London Is not
likely to long enjoy the antics Of its
unique white baboon.
