sTABAT MATER AT ST. JOHNS.
Fine Performance by the Choir Last
Night.

Rarely has Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
been better presented in Jersey City
than the performance in st. Johns P.
E. Church last night. From every point
it was an excellent Specimen of good
choral work. The choruses were evenly
balanced, the leads and attacks clean
and decisive, and the shading particu-
larly in the opening chorus, "Stabat
Mater Dolorosa," exquisite. AS for the
solo work, Mrs. J.. R. Let's sang the
Immortal "Inf1ammatus'' and the soprano
part in the ''Quis est Homo as taste
fully as the mcst critical could have
desired With Mrs. Let's in the charm
ing duet was Miss Lille Stanton. the
new contralto, whose debut was eminent
ly t1attering. Mr.. Ed. Y. Boys sang the
"Cujus tenderly and with his
accustomed finish. Mr.. AhrenS' consci-
entious work and that Of Mr.. Henry
Morgan deserved in every a the high
opinion expressed.
In some of the solos the organ accom-
paniment was perhaps a shade too loud,
but in the choral part added breadth
in the absence of orchestration
The congregation thoroughly enjoyed
the musical treat, and the Rev. DR.. q.
l.. Stoddard came in for a large need
of praise for his judgment in introduce
ing once more the intensely dramatic

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
The Rev. Montgomery Throop Re-
plies TO Heber Newton.

The Rev. Montgomery Throop Re-
plies TO Heber Newton.
The Rev. Montgomery Throop of st.
Matthew's Episcopal Church preached a
sermon last evening on the .Resurrec-
ton of the Dead" which was in the
nature of an answer to the Rev. DR..
Heber Newton's sermon on the resur-
rection of the Christ. Among other
things Mr.. Throop said
When Christ came to earth He found
the Jewish people divided into Pharisees,
who confessed the resurrection of the
dead. and the Sadducees, who denied it.
No Christian has a right to be a Sad
ducee.
There Is no subject which canno be
discussed if we get at the right tine
and place for it. The Resurrection may
be discussed in magazines or philosophf-
debating societies, but not in churches.
1t is not to be attacked by one who has
made a VOW to defend it and holds his
office by virtue of that vow
There is a certain cheap celebrity
which comes to a man from posing in
public as an hereto. Such a one should
at least have a moiety of manliness to
stand by his u~tterances and take the
consequences. 1t is true that reporters
often make mistakes, especially in a sub
ject like theology, with which they are
not familiar. But It is strain IN ones
credul:ty to suppose that a reporter
originated a whole line of thought
when no word suggesting it was ever
uttered. In the meantime the church is
misrepresented before the world by
teachings which seem to come from her
and which she cannot nal down so as
to discipline their author.
Scripture. and the. Church both teach
that the identical body in which we
shall be raised from the dead and the
soul shall inherit it once more. This
body is ~spiritualized and differs from the
natural body as ga chr.sts, phere NH
and ST. Paul assumes The first resur-
rection of those in whom Christ's res1r-
o oec s11 m nas b w9r and pood o Tbis the so yeeona

1.-THE denial Of the Resurrection is part
of a movement against which the
