these miracles were simplv facts In the
natural order, or acts in the natural
whose agency mans reason told MIN
could not be NATURAL therefore, must be
supernatural or uivine.
This is the whole foundation of faith
in brief-man's reason acts in its nat
ural and normal way when discussing
these evidences, testifying to the snper-
natural and there is not an act OF divine
faith in young or old that does not con-
tain implicitly this reasoning PROCESS.
just in the same m manner that we believe
thousand things ia the natural order that
supposes an implicit reasoning.
This shows how the freedom OF the
human will and the dignity OF human
reason are preserved in the domain OF
faith. Human reason is sacred and Oh
vine faith guards it as nothing else can.
In this very age, when some men claim
that faith hampers and enslaves the hu-
man reason, the church of God has had
to shield that human reason from it's own
inherent weakness. The vatican coun-
Gil, so little understood by some OF its
critics, declared the freedom of the hu-
man will and the dignity of human rea-
son dogma OF Catholic faith.
The great apostle of agnosticism. and
the most legitimate and logical product
of religious scepticism, Herbert Spencer,
declares in so many words that man is a
free as the moon and no freer.
In the face of these two facts it Is a
little ODD TO hear the admirers of Her
bert Spencer say that the Catholic
church enslaves the human reason. II
man is not free, he is incapable of sin ,
and he is incapable of virtue. Both yir-
tue and sin suppose intelligence and free
dom. If man is not free what we call
vice and virtue are nick-names. Murder,
so-called, is not sin, and the law that
Furnishes it is despotism.
But how do the poor, the illiterate
and the ignorant go through this process
OF reasoning to attain a rational faith2
Just as they do to have a rational knowl-
edge of thousand things i'll the mate
rial order.
The great bulk of the knowledge Of
the vast majority of mankind is known
upon the authority of others. and we
shall have to deny that that vast multi
tuds act nationally in nearly every act o1
their LIE, if we deny the same multitude
the. possibility Of acting nationally in
their religious beliefs. And even in the
simplest and humblest individual the
perfect freed ON of reason or judgment is
preserved intact. 1t is true that when a
man is made certain of q supernatural
truth, he Is not free to accept or reject
it. he must accept it. But this is true
of the natural order as we'll. 1t is sim ply
a law of reason that it should be so, anC
in neither case is any right of reason in
fringed upon. On the contrary it is ir
perfect keeping with reason to accept
what is seen by it to be true. 1t is no
bound to accept it before, but it is moi
optional with it to accept OF reject it aft
or the truth is known. In all this the
Catholic church stands as a guardian
over the dignity and sacred character O.
mans reason.

Church OF the Nazarene

Services were held yesterday morning
at 3l7 South Main street, DI. Bresee
preaching from ST. Luke. xii %; "What
went We out for to seer"
John the Baptist was in prison. Sent
some of his disciples to Jesus, doubtless
to have them confirmed. John was
great character, a prophet, reformer and
preacher. He came to the surface to
abide. He stands for a ulspensation of
grace. Every Christian comes to the full
ness of Christ by the John the Baptist
experience. lie stands for repentance
and conversion and service, and points to
the near Christ the purifier, who takes
away the sin of the world. Every trans.
formation of human character, every great
reformation, comes this way.
By question Jesus made the strongest
affirmation that John was not a reed
shaken by the wind, but OF unyielding
purpose, determination and loyalty to
God; that he stood alone against tradi-
ton aud ecclesiastioism; that he was
not courtitr; that he did not serve men
for piece of bread. A reformer must be
30 near TO God that he trusts in Him
alone.
John was prophet. Every reformer
must hear the voice of God and proclaim

our likeness" and his motion prevailed.
The image means the plan of the human
body which was in the minds of the d.
vine creators prior to the creation of
mans body; and this body was to be so
made that man could be like the divin-
tiles in exercising domination over birds,
beasts and fishes, in guiding the forces
OF nature and in developing the planet.
So man was mate in the likeness of the
gods. This is the grand answer Biblical
polythelsm gives to the great question.
The human body is called by Paul ''tbe
temple of the living God, and Christ
says the kingdom OF heaven is within
made" Its system of bones, muscles,
nerves, digestion. lungs heart, etc., fit
it to be a noble earthly agent for the
manifestation of the spirit upon earth.
Man stands at the head of creation on
the earth. He is gradually becoming
is the link between the eartn and the
heavens. He belongs to both worlds. He
is son of God and son of man at the same
time. His senses are conscious OF the
physical universe and his spirit can feel
the eternal life beyond. 1t is iust as sim
full to neglect the things of the earth as
it is to neglect the cultivation of spiritual
things. He is narrow man that has a
consciousness of one side OF his duplex
nature only.
Man has in himself in limited wav
all the forces of the universe-the mental
forces and the physical forces; and these
forces, properly utilized, make the.Klng
dom of heaven, or the kingdom of hell,
in mans soul. Every man possesses d.
vine and satanic forces. The kingdom
of heaven is within you" says Christ;
that is, 1.-THE promise and potency of q
heavenly life.

eral lives. 1t is statement of science
that the human brain in the process of
its development assumes the forms of
fishes, birds, beasts, insects, from the
ugly creatures of the shiny deep to the
graceful birds that glide through the air
on glittering wings. Perhaps this is the
reason that a human mind can be trained
to know the lives and habits of creatures
below man. Without an animal instinct
the investigator could not appreciate the
instincts of animals.
The best answer to this important
question il the life of Christ. His life
shows what the hidden forces of the hui
man soul can do. He grew out of simple
childhood into the being who was filled
with Gods spirit without measure. He
is now becoming the leader of all the pro
gressive races. The Almighty has en-
| trusted to him power sufficient to save
the race. "Behold the man. In him

Unity Church

Yesterday morning the pastor OF UNITY
church, ]. s. Thomson, selected for his
theme aud text the question, What Is
Man?-Psalm S:4.
The ancient thinkers deemed this ques-
tion worthy of serious thoupht. 1t is
asked several times in the Bible, and the
Greeks taught that man is the proper
study of mankind; for "know myself is
one OF their commands.
In the first chapter of Genesis it is re-
corded that council of the Gods was
held to take measures for the creation of
man, the formation OF his body. One of
the assem- bled deities made the motion,

Young Women's Christian Association


According to the suggestion of the exec
utive committee for the stud emit volunteer
movement, the service yesterday at 3:45
p. m. observed the day of prayer for this
worldwide movement. The music was
in charge of Miss Elizabeth Kimball.
After scripture reading and prayer by DIR.
Kate c. Moody, Rev. N. G. Poor Chew of
the Presbyterian Chinese church OF this
city, gave most interesting account of
his life.
His parents placed him in school at an
early age to study for the priesthood. Many
OF his friends had come to California or
1.-The golden hill" as they called this
state, and returned with several hundre
dollars. Though opposed by his parents
be decided to come also. Before leaving
he made VOWS to his patron god. Mr..
Chew came with his uncle to San Jose,
entered the mission school there to study
our language, but paid no attention
when the teacher spoke of Jesus Christ.
Finally one day he was badly hurt by
some street roughs. On one side was a
saloon. the other side q mission. He
went into the mission, where his wounds
were attended to with care and kindness.
This unexpected good will opened his
eyes 20 the gospel, and though punished
by his uncle he became Christian. In
1889 he decided to study for the minis.
try. Friends sent him to school, where
thorough preparation was made for his
great work among his own peolpe. Mr..
Chew's address was deeply interesting
to all.

student volunteer movement. 1t was or
gained in 1886 at Mortified, Mass. At
its second international convention, held
at Detroit, Mich, March, 1894. 1892, stu
dent delegates from 294 institutions from
the United States and Canada were pres
ent. AS a result of this movement $50
we're reported as having sailed to foreign
lands, besides many others that have gone
out from institutions unreported. Some
one has said that the way to pray is with
a map OF the world spread before you.
Christ said''And l, if be lifted up from
the earth will draw all men unto me-"
He promises to draw by the Holy Spirit
| those towhom he is lifted up. Who will
do this. lifting? 1t is a great mistake to
suppose chat the responsibility rests upon
the student volunteers, or upon any peo-
| pie or special individuals. Jesus says !:
| 81 have chosen you and ordained you
| that you should CO." He says this to you
| and to me.
An eminent professor, leoturing before
a class of medical students in Boston,
said, putting his hand upon his heart, for
that was the subject of the lecture
| "Gentlemen, il could bring it to beat
| upon Bunker Hill monument | could
batter it down in very short time, sim
ply by the pulse beats of my heart. +"
This is the great problem, how to bring
to bear the pulse beats of the loving
heart of Christ upon this needy world.
