property. It is impracticable for vari
Gus reasons. They propose to have n
general division of property. That
might do for 4 short time, but it would
not be very long before those who were
not addicted to stale beer and q seden.
tary life would acquire the property OF
the others. That would involve another
''divide, - and would ultimately become
monotonous, and create bad feeling.
There is another serious objection to
tho general division plan. According
to the socialistic theory all property is
robbery, hence, as the receiver is worse
than the thief, any socialist who takes
nny of the property is u receiver OF
stolen goods. It would not be right to
thus place temptation in the pash OF
the socialist. He might forget to say:
''Get thee behind me, Satan.''
Another remedy is to return to tho
doctrine of the primitive Christian
church. Let all men be converted
Then they will place all their money
and property ina common fund and
each one can take out according to his
! needs. This, Of course, involves zthe
; hearty cooperation Of the large CAPT
talista. and I reGref to say that, as ia,
as New Yorlkis eofSeersieef, there is nc
indication of the 1sarticA1ation of the
Astors and Vanderbilts,.b Hence it would
not be fashionab1kwithn >esst of the so

illogical seminary. His first call was to
the Presbyterian church of Peoria, Ills.
which he left in 1890 to succeed DIR.
Noyes as pastor Of the First Presbyteri-
an church of Evanston, Ills, where his
brilliancy and logic soon made his
name widely known. His sermons are
always interesting and never sterectyp-
ed, and yet he breaches the gospel.
He has made a careful study OF social
conditions, and it is said that he once
declined to hear q celebrated minister
In London IN order that he might be
present in Trafalgar square and hear
John Burns, the great labor leader,
make one of his famous speeches.
Northwestern university conferred upon
him the degree of doctor of divinity in
1892, and many other colleges have hon.
ored him. He has shown himself pos
sessed of very liberal religious views,
and two years ago he attracted consid.
cradle attention by his defense of Pro-
fessor Henry Preserved Smith of Gin
cinnati, who was on trial for heresy
in the Presbyterian general assembly.
About o year ago, too, he favored keep
ing the Presbyterian seminaries free
from the control of the general assem-
bly,, a procedure that was opposed by
the conservative element in the church.
DR.. Hills says that he will make no
attempt to lead Central church back to
Presbyterianism. My only effort. he
says, twill be 10 translate Christianity
in the modern forms of thinking and to
shape Christianity without regard to
Presbyterianism. The sermon on the
mount is my creed, and it is enough.
The congregation Of Central church
is composed of Methodists, Episcopa.
lians, Presbyterians and others. DIR.
Hills salary as pastor will be SO, DOC

months vacation.

the horses dashed by the stand at the

he let her 20 like a shot between the
