New YORK, May 14.-With rain to-day
there is every prospect that the Brooklyn

DR.. Rice will win. A syndicate, at the

Poker Cl,ip;.

An Ohio missionary has discounted Sal
vation Army methods with what seems
to be fair results. He was once poker
player, ana in his mission work the Rev.
Sherrard Beatty, for that is his name, de-
votes himself to The gamblers.
On entering a saloon the Rev. Mr..
Beatty will pull out bunch Of cards, be-
gin shuffiing them in manner that shows
experience in handling. and when be has
the eyes of all those in the saloon upon
him, he asks:
Gentlemen. will you take hand with
me?"
He then begins to deal the cards around.
one to each person. When they turn the
face OF the card toward them, instead OF
finding spots they behold the words:
Boycott the devil; he doesn't pay liv-
ing wages. The wages of sin is death,
but the gift OF God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ, our Lord.''
On the chips which the Rev. Mr.. Beatty
gives out with these cards is printed:
''Seek ye the Lord. Life is short; death
is sure; sims the cause; Christ's the
cure"
Gamblers are worth saving just as
much as other sinners. and the Rev. Mr..
Beatty may have found the best way OF
reaching them.-Chicago Mail.

admit the possibility of variations and

was too short for these introductions to

THE FRENCH MINISTRY.

The Ribot ministry lasted a good deal
longer than any of the ministries that
France has enjoyed of late years. Indeed
up to the very moment of it's downfall IL
seemed to be firmly established and en-
joying the confidence of the chambers
and the country Nobody was looking
for its overthrow, and the defeat has
naturally created a great sensation at
homo and abroad. The question that
floored it. is very much the same as that
which was as the bottom of the downfall
of several previous ministries. 1t was
an imputation of screening scandals that
wrought its ruin. Some time ago mag
isterial investigation was begun into the
connection of certain French senators
and deputies with the South of France
Railway syndicate, due to an accusation
made in the Chamber by M. Rouanet
NJ Rouanet declared that M. Edmond
Magnier, senator from Var and at that
time chief editor of the Evenement, had
received fS7, 500 as part of the profits of
the syndicate which had been organized

this may be, the fact remains that M.
Magnier was indicted, but before he
could be brought to trial he disappeared.
Subsequently, he returned to Paris, and
surrendered himself to the authorities.
He was tried, convicted, and sentenced
to one years. Imprisonment and to pay a
fine of f10o. The charge of screening the
guilty contractors does not seem to have
been very we'll sustained but the French

Faith and Science.

| In the course of his paper, read before
the Church Congress at Norwich, Eng
land Prof. Bonney, F. r. S., Canon of
| Manchester, said:
There can be little doubt that at the
present time the gravest difficulties arise
from the miraculous element in the Scrip
lures. 1t is their historical value which
is disputed or denied. With such ques-
tions as those which more than once have
agitated the neutrality-suspicious. as to the
divine nature or the creation of the God
head and the manhood iof Jesus Christ
science cannot deal; they belong not to
its province, but to that of the metaphysi-
cian but with such a one as whether he
rose from the dead, since it is a question
of evidence science, both directly and in
directly, is much concerned
make this assertion with the more
confidence, because one of our most emil
nent men of science, the Late Mr. T. H.
Huxley, who felt himself compelled to
ia Ike the agnostic position. frankly adj
mitted not long before his death that
physical science, in fact, has had moth
ing directly to do with the criticism of
the Gospels; it is wholly incompetent to
furnish demonstratiye evidence that any
statement made in these histories is I'M
true Indeed, modern physiology can
find parallels in nature for events of ap-
parently the most eminently supernatural
tories. - Again, in another place he
kl,cE h
cept such as involves a contradiction in
terms. 1t may be improbable that man
should walk on the water, be born with
out human Intervention, rise again, but
we cannot say it is impossible; for We
are only at the beginning of our knowl-
edge of nature, and cannot set bounds to
its possibilities.
/ cannot deny that the increase of scien-
tific knowledge has deprivedSparts of the
earlier books of the Bible of the historical
value which was generally attributed TO
them by our forefathers. The story of
creation in the book of Genesis, unless we
play fast and loose, either with words or
with science, cannot be brought into har
mony with what we have learned from
geology. Its chronological statements are
imperfect. if not sometimes inaccurate.
The stories of the fall, of the flood. and
of the Tower of Babel are incredible in
their present form. Some historical ele-
.nent may underlie nany Of the tradi
lions in thu first eleven chapters of that
book, but this we cannot hope to recover.
They proclaim spiritual facts of the high
est Importance, such as that God, and
God alone, is creator and ruler oftall, that
there is an innate depIavity in the nature
Of man, that sin entails suffering, and
the sinner cannot escape from His all
seeing eye, though in the. midst of judg-
ment. He remembers mercy. In short,
these narratives are allegorical, not his
torical. We receive them as inspi red,
and this none the less when we learn,
as of late years we have learned, the
source whence they were derived But
they are spiritual, not scientific truths
We must be prepared to leave the ac-
curacy of some narratives an open ques-
ton, to carry them to "a suspense ac-
count; to grant that some prophecies
are homiletic rather than productive; in
