TWENTIETH CENTURY.
Rev. Howard Ennis Sees Racial
Crisis Just Ahead.

Rev Howard WfLur Ennis of the West
ern Presbyterian'C Church selected yesterday
morning as the text of a scholarly discourse
the IIrsO verse OF c:!apber ~ OF ale first look
of Chronicles The gold for things of
gold, and the silver for things of silver,
and for all manner Of work TO be made by
the hands of artificers. And who then IS
willing to consecrate his services this day
unto the Lord?"
Mr. Ennis spoke of the near proximity
of the incoming twentieth century, which
he fixed as beginning between Christmas,
1896, and April, 1897, probably about
Easter. He conmefted upon the everywhere
apparent Indications of rarial crisis in
history, which, he said, would seem to cali
for nothing short of the universal spread
of the Gospel Of Christ. The world, he
continued, is open 70 the Gospel as never
before. For the first time in history God
has removed every palpable obstacle; the
whole world is accessible, transportation
facilities are practically complete; terri
tories orce unknown have been exploded
and governments once objective are now
willing anil some are calling.

NEW CHURCH.
Rev. Philip b. Cabelrs Sermon Upon
Its Belief.

The Rev. Philip b. Caheil, of Wilmington,
Del, delivered sermon at yesterday
mornings service, held at the New Church,
corner of Sixteenth and CorCoran streets,
apon The God of the New Church. The
biblical text was from Revelations, i:l2-I6,
and was explanatory of the Swedenborgian
faith. His explanation OF the allegorles
of the Eibc and the identification OF
modern characteristics with those for,.-
told in Revelations, was Il consstens ap-
plicatiuu of the doctrines of his church
In recOuciling the idea of divine goodness
and absolute omnipotence with the pres
ence of evil in the world, he eNpounded
the doctrine of controlled actions and
permissiye actions. The faith Of his
church in this regard was exccilen,ly
epitomized by the reverend gentleman.
He said:
1T is a part of the faith of the New
Church, that, in addition to His con
tinual presence with them in His Word,
the Lord, in His Providence and by the
ministry of angels, is always with men,
guiding, governing, correcting, rcproving,
in all the affairs of life-even the smallest
Her faith is thaE nothing harpens by
chance or accident, so called, but that
good events are of the will, and evil events
of the permission Of the only wise God
our Saviour"

there, To give him all Of the details OF the

Concerning Mr.. Wutsons letter in reply

in the newspapers, however, about Mr..
