nill and Murphy.

NEW YoRx. May "A mass meeting Was
held tonight in Cooper Union 70 protest
against the diiatoriness Of the senate in
passing upon the Wilson bill. All was not
harmony ct the meeting, and the income
TAI Was what marked the dividing Of the
ways- The storm broke when Frederick B.
Coudsrt took issue with James Carter and
roundly denounced the income tax meas
urs - bad, dishonest and undemocratic.
One-haH the iares crowd Kissed and inter-
Fuptsd this expression Of opinion, and the
others chssred and applauded and hurled
back the epitkss applied to Mr. Coudert
BY his opponents from the body Of the
hall.
An old man jumped up. shook his fst at
Mr.. Coudcrt on the platform and shouted:
I'VE we're paying the taxes, while you
people were robbing uA" At this point
there WAS tumuiG 4 chorus Of "Put him
ont" burst out, and every one
jumped up. Half . dosen police
men rushed up aud seized the
man, carrying him TO the rear Of the
hail. Confusion rsignsd for some min
utes. Finally Nj. Coudsrt put every one
In good humor By saying that bad - the
income tax was. he was willing to swallow
1t for the sake Of tariff reduction.
The meeting had besn called BY repre-
sentatives OF forty-two business houses Of
this city. Fx-Secretary Of the Treasury
Charles 8. Fairchiid called the meeting to
order and denounced tho senators respon-
sible for the delay. He thought the in.
come tai uuwise. bat there were many
things worse than it. one Of which vas to
have no income at all, which was what
the present delay would lead to.
James Carter delivered the principal
speech Of the evening. He defended the
income tax ~ the most Just and equitable
form Of taxation. Mr.. Carter denounced
Senators Hill and Murphy for their atti-
tuds toward the Wilson bill. This seemed
to please the large an4lencs hugely.

Whose testimony will you take?
You will not take my testimony. You
say: You know nothing about it,
you were not there; let us have the
testimony of the 20, 900 persons who
stood before the capitol and heard
that magnificent inaugural" Why,
of course. that is as your common
sense dictates. Now, here are some
men who say they have never seen
Christ crowned in the heart, and they
do not believe it is ever done. There
is a group of men who say they have
never heard the voice of Christ, they
have never heard the voice Of God.
They do not believe it eve TRANSFERRED,
or was ever heard-that anything like
it ever occurred. l point to twenty, 4
hundred thousand or a million people
who say: Christ was crowned in our
hearts affections, we have seen Him
and felt Him in our soul, and we have
heard His voice; we have heard it in
storm m darkness; we have heard it
again and again"
Yonder is an aged Christian after
fifty years experience of the power of
godliness in his soul. Ask this man
whether, when he buried his dead, the
religion of Jesus Christ was not "a con-
ISOLATION. Ask him if through the long
years of his pilgrimage the Lord ever
forsook him. Ask him when h, looks
Onward to the future, if he has not u
peace, and a joy and n consolation the
world cannot take away. Put his tes-
timony of what he has seen and what
he has felt opposite to the man who
says he has not seen anything on the
subject or felt anything on the subject.
VIII you take the testimony of people
who ave not or people who AVE seen?
l feel hat l have convinced every
man in this house hat it is utter
folly to take the testimony of those
who have never tried the gospel of
Jesus Christ in their own heart and life.
We have tens of thousands of wit.
nesses. l l believe you are ready to take
their testimony. Young man, do not
be ashamed to be n friend Of the Bible.
Do not put your thumb in your vest. as
young men sometimes do, and swagger
about, talking of the glorious light
of the nineteenth century. and
of there being no need Of a Bible.
Col Ethan Allen was u famous inidel
in his day. His wife was a very con-
secrated The mother in
structed the daughter in the truths of
Christianity. The daughter sickened
and was about to die, and she said
to her father: Father, shall l
take your instruction? or shall
1 take mothers instruction? l am
going to die now; l must have
this matter decided" That man, who
had been loud in his infidelity, said to
his dying daughter: MY dear, you
had better take your mothers re.
ligion." My advice is the same to you,
o young man, you had better take
your mothers religion. You know
how it comforted her. You know what
she said to you when she was dying.
You had better take your mothers re-
ligion.
