BRYANT The POET,

w. Sprague.
AT the Second Unitarian Church Rev.
Leslie w. Sprague last night began a
course of sermon-lectures on the religion
of the American poets. "Bryant's Poetrv
and Religion" was the topic for thu
evening.
In opening Mr.. Sprague said that If he
could succeed in interesting howsoever so
small part Of the world in the religion of
Bryant his aim would be realized. He did
not give biographical discourse. onlv
speaking briefly of Bryant's career as a
lawyer, editor, refnrmer, orator and poe:
Bryant was born in 1894. so that last
November commemoratsd the hundredth
anniversary of his birth. His poe.ical
career began before America could beast
OF any real literature. 'Thanatopsis" was
written IN the poets youth in the early
part OF this century. We cannot, there
tore. expect to hud in Bryant he radical
religious thought Of to-day. Nor can we
lind in him the orthodox theology OF his
day or OF ours. BRYANT is neither theo-
logical nor philosophical. He is EARNEST,
profound. inspired and inspiring, but his
questions are Of the heart and soul rather
than OF the speculative mind.
'Bryants religion is largely expert
mental. He sings of what he himself has
experienced and all real religion is exper-
fence and not opinion. Little does the
world care what one simply thinks. but

ACCUSED EACH OTHER.
Conflicting Confessions Made by the
Denver Strangers.

DENVER. Jan. 6.-Alphouso Lamar. one
of the Frenchmen under arrest on sus-
picion of having strangled three Market
street women, TODAY made an alleged
confession, charging Victor Monchereaux,
also under arrest. with the murders. He
claims that Monchereaux tired to persuade
him to do the killing. and upon refusing
did it himself He says that Monchereaux
told him the details Of bow each woman
was strapgled. and said that he would kill
a number Of others.
On Friday Monchereaux dictated a con-
fession, in which he charged Lamar with
the murders in almost the same language
that Lamar uses in his confession. The
police are suspicious that both Lamar aud
Moncbereaux are only fgureheads, put
forward by the organization maintained
by French parasites in the low quarter,
and that they are attracting as much at
tention as possible so as to draw off in
vestigaton in other directions. There is
not sufficient evidence against either to
hold him at the preliminary hearing.

the sun, advancing to the zenith, filings
his spIendor far and near. so at Epiphany
we worship Jesus in his meridian glory

from the East represent all nations, who
shall some day follow the star and dwell
in the brightness Of Christ.

mystery; TO take your place in the ranks
Of those who are now marching, with
songs and shouts, up the highway of
heaven. This should be your first and

toms and PecuIiaritieS.

DR., Brown gave another one of his
popular Sunday evening lectures at the
First Congregational Church last evening.
Turkey, the Turks and the Missionaries
was the subject Of the address. To make
a realistic effect, the stereopticOn was
brought into play. and many scenes in
Armenia were thrown upon the screen.
Like the English empire" remarked
the speaker. 1.-THE sun never sets on the
field of the foreign missionary. The whole
world is his sphere. But of late the at
tention of the civilized world has been
turned toward Armenia. The horrible
butcheries which have taken place 10 this
region have called forth the strongest con-
domination from all parts of the Christian
world.
The country of which am about to speak
has a wonderful history. Songs have been
sung in its praise. Stories of remarkable
character have been spun ont by the prose-
writer's. Sacred it is to the Christian on ac-
count of its being the birthplace Of our Re-
deemer."
DR.. Brown centered his remarks princi-
paly about Constantinople. Aided by
the stereopticon, he was able to make
vivid the mosques, palaces aud bridges Of
this historic city. The sanity dervls with
his football locks was we'll outlined on the

Constautinople was declared to be the
great metropolitan city Of Europe. Rep
resentatives from almost every nation and
tribe could be found on its streets. One
peculiarly referred to was the fact that
dogs abounded in great numbers in all
these Oriental cities. The CANNES
swarmed on every street.
Considerable lime was devoted to the
work of the missionaries in these coun-
tries. An American college has been es-
tablished near Cnnstantinople, the
speaker added. This was coeducaiOnal
aud was doing grand work among the
natives. DR.. Brown said that the late
troubles wele partly due to the progress
which the gospel was making. He re-
marked that the Turks were jealous of
