APPLIED CHRISTIANITY.
The Rev. DR.. NaIieron Says the
Minister is Practical.

The Rev. DR.. Halleron of Simpson
Methodist Church began a course OF
| ermon on applied Christianity" Last
| evening his subject was, christianity
| as a Practical System" and he based
his remarks on the text. Faith With
| out Works is Dead" Mr.. Haileron said
in part
'It seems to be the general opinion the
calling of the minister removes him from
practical life. for in turning to some of
the p-racticalities of life we are brushed
aside, respectfully, to be sure. as not IN
Outstanding everyday life"
Mr.. Halleron claimed hat in his call
ing the average clergyman was brought
in connection with the whole routine OF
life lfefn mere than .nr the m memDe MSoe 81 any by ot f6s
clergymen in handling current events"
he said, "and directing popular move
ough knowledge of affairs. Christianity is
two s~ided-God's word and mans word.
The former has to do with man in his
as applied to Cod. The latter has to do
with the material forms of life surround
ing him both in his family and the COM
nunity in which he resides.
christianity has always been practical.
Christ was the embodiment of all that
is practical in human life, nature and So
events and shaped them to the greatest
good of his followers. When they were
hungry, he fed them; When sick, he
healed them, and when ignorant, he in
structed them. Being a mechanic himself
he understood the needs of the toiling
populace.
He was always submissive to the laws
of the government in which he resided.
An earthly life is fundamental to all
life. Had we no existence In this life we
surely could expect none in the hereafter.
The Christian church at its inception
was truly socialistic. The member
sought each others good, mingled in each

| surrendered their property to a common
| purse. The most enthusiastic socialist of
today cannot exceed the spirit of the
early church, but it is mistaken in the ap-
plication of his principles"
DR.. Halleron has arranged for fu-
ture Sunday evenings a prelude which
will no prolong the sermon. It will con-
sist in an explanation of the latest sci
entlfic discoveries.
The explanation will be made in such
plain language that all will be able to
understand the discovery thoroughly.

ROBERTS AND WELLINGTON.
The Lord Puts on Record His Esti-
mate of the Iron Duke.

Lord Roberts has put on record his esti-
mate of the great Duke of Wellington.
"A study of W~ellington's life and writ
ings," he writes, LEADS me to the conclu-
sion thai he has been somewhat overrated
as q commander. Stress is often laid en-
the strict sense of duty by which he is
supposed to have been specially actuated,
the inference being that personal ambi-
ton had little to do with his efforts to
succeed in the task entrusted to him.
That Wellington was honorable, straight
forward, ~resolute and patriotic none can
deny, but there appears to be no instance
in his military career of adopting q
course where his duty was opposed to his
own interests, or of his being called upon
to sacrifice the latter in order to carry
out the former.
TN his case the path Of duty and of
personal advancement were Identical, and
it seems, therefore, hardly reasonable to
assume that he differed from other great
military leaders-such as Caesar, MARI
borough or Napoleon-in being devoid of
that desire for distinction n power
which is one of the most potent incen-
tives to exertion. At the beginning of the
peninsular war his own words were,
The ball is now at my foot. and I hope 1
shall nave strength enough to give it a
good kick and the principal reason he
gave for wishing to leave India was that
he would be more likely to get on in
Europe. Possessed of many admirable
qualities, Wellington gained the esteem
and confidence but not the affection of
his soldiers. BY nature reserved and un-
sympathetic-perhaps a little selfish-hs
regarded his army in the light of a fight
ing machine. When It's task was per-
formed and peace established, he ceased
to associate with the officers who had
been most intimately connected with him
in the field, and he did little or nothing
to promote the welfare of his soldiers or
make the, nation understand what a
debt of gratitude it owed him."-Scottisb

A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR GOLD.

A YOUTHFUL RoBBER.
Twelve Years; Old William Garrison
HAS Been Arrested Three Times.

william Garrison, twelve years old, of
no. 5 Ingwersen place, was held for
trial in Justice Douglass court this morn
ing on the charge of robbery. This is
the third time in a year that he has been
arrested on the same charge. Last sum-
Lser he stole a horse and buggy. and
later robbed a candy store. Both times
he escaped punishment. He is now ac-
cIsed of robb.ng Thomas Moran, of No.
&15 Crawford place, of s38. He admits the
-ileft, and exonerates three other youths
eoho were arrested with him, and who
Nped him spend the stolen money.
10y are Bernard King, sixteen years old,
piinNo 595 Grand street; William Bail,
NV aslve, and Samuel Bail, sixteen years
III, Of No. Is Summit avenue. They
We're held for examination. The boys
were arrested yesterday by Detective
Iarkins while they were engaged in a
ball game. Garrison took his arrest very
coolly, merely r%emarking it was too bad
the Fly cop would not let them finish
the game. The robbery was committed
on Thursday last, but was not reported
to the police until yesterday morning.
Mr.. Moran keeps al small grocery store.
The stolen money was ina tin box be-
hind the counter. He missed It Thurs
day, but thought that his wife had put
it away. AS soon as discovered that the
money had been stolen, he reported it.
Larkins inquired in the ne~ighborhood,
and found that Garrison had been spend
ing a great deal of money for baseball
goods. Further inquiry elected the fact
that he had been showing a large roll of
bills to his companions. When arrested
he told with a sort of pride of how he
got the money and how he managed to
get rid of it.
morning for a pail of coal. Mrs. Moran
was alone in the store. While she was
outside getting the coal, and had half her
body in the bin, Garrison ran behind the
counter and grabbed the money. The
next day he fitted out a ball nine, of
which he was captain. After midnight
Friday. night, he, with the boys that
were arrested with him, went to New
York. They spent the stolen money
broadcast. On the ferryboat they met a
6ne-armed veteran and ave hin half a
dollar. Next they went to a saloon on
Cortlandt street. They treated everyone
in the place, and smoked twenty-five
cent cigars. To a couple OF buns that
were broke they gave half a dollar
apiece. They found time hard to XIII, SO
they rode up and down on the ELEVATED
railroad until morning. Coming back to
Jersey City. they had just enough money
left to hire bicycles. They spent Satur-
day afternoon riding up and down the
