FUNDS DISAPPEAR.
Chicago Democratic Campaign
Money Seemed to Vanish.
About 100000 Cannot Now be
Accounted For.
NOW WHERE DID GO?
Democrats Aroused and Will
Look Into the Matter.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The Post printed
a sensational story last night regard
ing the disappearance of a $500, 600
democratic campaign fund. The Post
states that the managers of the recent
city campaign, in which the democratic
candidate. Wenter, was defeated.
charge his defeat to lack of funds
and also charge that an enormous sum
has been appropriated by five or six
men high in the democratic political
circles of the city. The fund, the Post
says, was raised by assessment of city
hall employees and others, and amounted
to about $500, Goo The Wenter man
ayers claim to have positive proof that
the fund existed prior to the last cleo
ton, but say they were unable to get
any of it for campaign expenses. The
reputa BILE men of the democratic party
are said to have become so thoroughly
aroused over the affair that they will
endeavor to secure an investigation,
and promise startling developments.
A TERRIBLE FIGHT OVER A CLAIM.
PERRY, Ok, April 5.-News reached
here yesterday evening of a terrible
shooting affair 20 miles east of here,
between Al Cook, Dock Bennett and a
woman, whose name could not be
learned. It seems that the two
men and the woman were claimants
for the same quarter section OF
land and that Cook bought out the
womans interest and as he commenced
to move into the wOman's house yes
terday a fight occurred and the re-
port is that all three were badly in
jured. Cook, so the report is, was
shot through the heart by Bennett and
instantly killed. Cook shot Bennett
through the head and he will die and
the woman was shot through a leg.
The woman used an ak on Bennett
pretty freely and inflicted some serious
wounds.

OUR WRITER'S.

The EVOLUTION OF FAITH.-(Rev.
Elmer j. FeH.) That faith is sub
ject to the law of growth can scarcely
be doubted when one considers how
correlated is every truth with every
other truth. The simplest truth is
part of an endless chain of moral re-
alities which binds the universe to
itself and God. And no man can lay
hold upon this chain at any point
without bringing himself into touch
with the whole moral universe. One
truth leads to another, and heart
possessed of one simple truth may
by it lift itself to faiths Hottest
height. Indeed, in matters of faith,
as in other things subject to growth
the order is from the simple to tie
complex. The scientist tells us that
the most elementary form of life is
single, simple cell without discover
able organization. So simple as to
seem insignificant in the great world
of complex matter about it. And
yet out from this simple cell, and
gathering about it, cluster all the
various forms of sensitive, highly or
ganized life. Not different is the
world of moral reality. The funda-
mental is the simple, and out from

SELECTION.
PARISH WORK AMONG LONDON
POOR.

The parish system provides every
thing; for the men, clubs; for the wom-
en-, nursing in sickness, friendly counsel
always; help in trouble; the girls are
brought together and kept out of mis-
chief, and encouraged in self-respect by
ladies who understand what they want
and how they look at things; the grown
lads are taken from the streets, and, with
the younger boys, are taught arts and
crafts, and are trained in manly exercises
just as if they were boys Of Elton and Har
row. The churce services, which used
to be everything, are now only part of
the parish work. The clergy are at once
servants of the the altar. preachers.
teachers, almoners, leaders in all kinds
of societies and clubs, and providers of
amusements and recreation. The peo-
pie look on, hold out their hands, receive,
at first indifferently, but presently, one
by one, awaken to new sense. AS they
receive, they cannot choose but to dis
coverer that these ladies have given up
their luminous homes and the life of
ease in order to work among them. They
also discover that these young gentle
men, who run" the clubs teach the
boys gymnastics. boxing, drawing, carv-
ing, and the rest, give up for this all
their evenings-the flower of the day in
the flower Of life. What for? What do
they get for itf Not in this parish only.
but in every parish the same kind Of
thing goes on. and spreads daily. This
-obssrve-is the last step but one OF
charity. For the progress of charity is
as follows: First, there is the pitiful
dole to the beggar; then the bequest to
monk and monastery; then the founding
of the almshouse and the parish charity;
then the Easter and the Christmas
offerings; then the gift to the almoner;
then the cheque to a society; next, lat
est and best-personal service among the
poor. This is both flower and fruit Of
charity. One thing only remains. And
before long this thing also shall come to
pass as we'll. Those who live in the
dens and witness these things done daily
must be stocks and stones if they we're
not moved by them. They are not stocks
and stones; they are actually, though
slowly, moved by them Walter Besdnt,

some very commonplace and SEEM
ingly Insignificant truth may grow
the finest fabric of moral and reli-
gious faith.
Our ENLARGED WoRK.-(R~u. An
son 7itats.) The Universalist Church
has been kept small by most per-
sistent social malignity. No sect in
its first century of organized effort
has had greater opposition. Henry
Ward Beecher said its mission in
softening old time doctrines was glory
enough for one sect. The prophets
of the denomination hold its mission
to be more than protest. Hence
the new plans for service in frontier,
city and foreign work are caught up
aud acted upon by the energetic
workers of the church. The educa-
tional and reformatory work, and the
labors in the new American cities
and in Japan, are full of enticements
to the believers and young adher-
ents of the doctrine, felt by many to
be too good to be true.
The INDIFFERENT MAN.-(Rev. DR..
Crdne.) The Indifferent man shuts
himself up. You cannot reach him.
He cares for none of these things.
He smiles or sneers at all your en-
deavors. Preaching the Gospel to
him is like shooting at rhinoceros
with pop gun. 1t has no effect; his
hide is too thick. The worst oppo-
sition Universalism has today is this
indifference. Men do not care
whether its teachings are true or
false. Heaven and hell are things of
no consequence to them. All they
care for is this world and the things
of this world. The worldly spirit
rules inside as we'll as outside the
church. Hence any discussion of
the things of the future receives little
or no hearing. Few have any time
to listen to such discussions. What
they want to hear is something about
this "bread and butler" question.
They listen eargerly to anything con-
corning 'the life that now Isl" they
do not care a fig for "the life that is
to come" They live in the senses
and hence only sensuous things in
terest them. The great obstacle to
the advancement of our doctrine is
this indifference to it's truth.
The UNIvERsALIsT CoNEEssIoN.-
(ReU. j. Frank Thompsoa.) And so
we come back to that confession of
faith with which we began. "We
believe that the Holy Scriptures of
the Old and New Testament contains
a revelation of the character of God,
and the duty, interest, and final des-
tination of mankind. They contain
the richest product OF the spiritual
experience Of people who, for many
centuries, devoted themselves with an
unexampled enthusiasm to the study
of righteousness. Nowhere else do
we find such wealth of moral phil
osophy, such sublime voices of faith,
such transports of spiritual love and
hope and JOY. The Christian world
has not yet grown up to its concep-
ton of the Fatherhood of God, and
all which that implies: and we GER
tainly shall never grow beyond it.
Its Christ character must ever re-
main the perfect moral and spiritual
ideal, the incarnation of human duty,
and the prophecy of human destiny.
