IN THE CHRISTIAN STATE
Professor George D. Heron Has a Large
Audience
Syllabus OF the Lecture-The Fundamental
Ailm,nt of the WorId-Chrlstianity
Must Become Political

DR.. George D. Heron last night at the
Illinois hall gave his second lecture-The
Christian State-of his famous series.
frequent applause indicated an apprecia-
tion of the speakers epigrammatic points.
A syllabus of the lecture is as follows
The world is less institutionally gov
erned than we commonly assume. The
real government of the world is unseen
and spiritual. Institutions are the or
gans OF communion of the people with
the divine order above and within them.
The want OF common center of unity is
the fundamental alment of the world.
Arbitrary centers of unity. like the tower
OF Babel, have passed away and given
place to anarchy. Yet there must be
some such center if the universe is ra-
tional, and it is the mission of the state
to discover this and accomplish the unity
of man. The state must be the organ OF
men faith and their common conscious
ness of God. The mission of the state
only begins in individuals. The state
must be the expression of quality of
right of universal application. The force
effort of the world is the social revelation
of human life in Jesus Christ. The sacri-
flee of Jesus is the revelation of the uni
versal principle of life. The state, then.
must become Christian.
> Not only must the state become Christ
ian, hut Christianity must become polti-
cal The religious faith of the people
must seek through the state to realize
upon earth the Kingdom of heaven. A
Christian political philosophy will trans
form our conception OF international re-
lations 1t will be based on no Declara-
ton OF Independence or cry for rights.
but will begin with confession of the
mutual dependence of all men. and issue
a call for the fellowship of sacrifice.

NOW WHAT IS THE SEQUEL Of That Marriage Which Did Not

Something of a sensation was created yesterday afternoon by the disappear ance of a young man and young woman who had come to Birmingham for the purpose of getting married, but who did not marry
 It was about II o'clock yesterday morn ing when a young man of 23 and a girl of Is or F years of age drove up to the Victoria hotel, Twenty second Street, between Second and Third avenues. They went into the parlor and inquired as to what hour dinner was served, and requested that the meal be hurried up.
 Leaving the girl at the hotel the young man went to the probate judge office and there obtained a marriage license for T. P. Watts and Martha Ann Harrison. From there he went to Justice c. J. Mar tins office, whose services he secured to perform the ceremony. Then re turning to the hotel he announced his readiness to marry.
 The guests of the hotel assembled in the parlor to witness the marriage, but it didn't take place. The young woman protested, saying she had not consented to such a step, and further that Watts had agreed to speak to her father about it.

 They had not shown up at their homes at late hour last night and grave ap- prehensions were entertained. The owner of the team they were driving was In the city last night looking for them.

HAS A WARLlKE RING
The British Press on the Porte's Note tx treme Measures Will Be Taken
 by the Powers.

London, June 4.-The Standard $ cor respondent at Constantinople says he learns, on good authority, that the portes reply to the powers is tanta- mount to a refusal on the main point of their proposal, namely, the installation of a high commissioner and the appoint ment of d mixed commission on Arme- nlan affairs. The porte proposes merely to enact in Armenia the reform con tained in the Aristarchi code, which has been nominally operative for the past half century. The Turkish government also proposes to grant amnesty to the Armenians concerned in the recent events.
 There is little doubt, the Standard s correspondent says, that the porte's note will be returned and that the powers will fix a date when they shall expect pure and simple acceptance of the original proposal There Is reason to believe, says the correspondent that if such accept ance be refused extreme measures will be taken by the powers.
 The Standard tomorrow, in comment ing on Turkeys attitude, will say: "The situation Is grave in the extreme. Eu- rope will no longer be fooled by her bad pledges. The sultan must accept the recommendations of the powers or be the consequences what they may, Ar menia will be severed from the Ottoman empire"
 The Chronicle will say Unless it proves that the sultan Is not playing a game of bluff, we must stiffen ourselves for action"

A MONSTER PICNIC.
Thirteen Cars Packed and damned Visit Tus-

The biggest excursion that ever left this city over the Alabama Great South ern pulled out of the union depot at 3:45 o'clock yesterday morning for Tuska- loosa. It was estimated as the train pulled out that there were 1000 people on board. At Bessemer about 100 more got on board, and at Woodstock two coaches loaded with pleasure seekers were hitched on the now already large train
 The picnic was given by the Catholic Temperance Aid Society of this city, and was intended to be for the benefit of the Catholic orphans at Mobile. The finan- cial end of the excursion would have been a colossal success had 1t not been for thi peculiar wording of the contract for the train which. by its verbiage, gave the Alabama Great Southern nearly the en- tire proceeds, at least $241 more than was paid for the train.
 As it was the orphans got nothing. and the railroad all of the results The train was held at Tuskaloosa last night until nearly 9 o'clock ere it got off, ow- ing to this contract.
