BARBARISM vs.. CIVILIZATION.
THE WAR BETWEEN CHINA AND
JAPAN.
Must Serve God and the Bible, or
They Will Perish.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The
Rev. DR.. Macarthur preached last
night at the Calvary church, 9th
street, near 9th avenue, taking for
his subject, "The Corean war in re-
lation to civilization and Chris
tianity."
The war now raging said the
Doctor, "between China and Jap
an is one of profound interest to
all intelligent statesmen and
churchmen. The war is really be-
tween barbarism and civilization,
between hoary conservatism and
modern progress, between Heath
enism and Christianity. The Euro
pean world has had no adequate
conception of the greatness of the
actual progress Of these oriental
nations. These nations are now
arousing themselves from the
slumber of centuries; they are
put ting on their armor; they are
girding themselves for a place on
the great chess board of the world.
The battle at the mouth Of the
Yalu river startled Great Britain,
France, Germany, Russia, Italy,
America and the world. 1t will
create new discussions as to naval
ornaments. The United States is
humbled in the presence of
these Japanese victories; probably
we could not have placed in eastern
waters during the time since this
war began, a naval force at all adj
eouate to contend with that Of
Japan. This victory will greatly
help Secretary Herbert in his plans
for the building of naval ships for
the United States government.
This victory has startled the conf
Dental advisers of every throne in
Europe. Japan has stepped at once
into line with the foremost nations
of the world. She has struggled
long against the conservative ele-
ment within her own borders, but
the progressive element has tri-
umphed. She has decided to adopt
the result of the highest civiliza-
ton of the world and she has shown
herself in the wise administration
of her international affairs to be
worthy of a place beside the most
progressive nations of the world.
Her educational system asks no
apology, when compared with that
of Europe and America. The ma
ton that will not serve God, the
bible teaches us, must perish. We
may add in harmony with this
truth, as it's natural consequence,
that the nation that will not obey
the highest laws Of civilization of
this day must perish"

BROOKLYN, Oct. 1.-The opening

liver an address on "The Charity

1t is the expectation that another
confederate general and one or two
prominent officers on the Union
side will make brief addresses on
this occasion, which will show the
Confederate side at it's best, and at
the same time prove that the re-
suits of the war are fully accepted

The L. A. W. Contest.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The election
of officers of the New York state
division Of the League of American
Wheelmen will be held early this
month. The fact that Chief Con-
sui Luscomb has refused to run for

independent ticket, has added adj
ditional excitement to the cleo
ton. While the league men in
this state all recognize the Potter

ty claim that the Lauke- Honor
Pennell ticket, which is Endorsed
by present Chief Consul Luscomb,
are the regular nominations. The

CATHOLIC CHANGES.
Mgr. satolli will be Recalled

NEW YORK, Oct. IA special to
the World says: A high ecclesi-
astic dignitary was seen today by
a correspondent with regard to the
expected changes in the admins
tration of the Catholic church Of
the United States. He said: cit
is quite true the Pope is preparing
a document concerning the United
States. This document will deal
with the general position of the
church of the United States. 1t
may also discuss the Washington
delegation. Instead of passing
through an intermediary Of the
project Of the propaganda, Mgr.
Satolli would refer matters to the
Pope direct. The question is one Of
form rather than substance and
especially as the Pope authorized
Mgr. Satolli to judge large num-
Der of cases which formerly would
have to be submitted to the propo.
ganda. AS to assuming, as Mgr.
Kean says, that the Pope will
transfer the administration of the
American church to Washington,
the idea is absurd. The situation
may be summed up in these terms {:
The Pope wishes to maintain and
strengthen the delegation. But
Mgr. Satolli will most certainly be
ranalIpd
