MR. DIcKERM1N,s LECTURE.

The Good Things of swedenborgianlsln The Good Things of 'Swedenborgian-
 ism' was the subject of the Rev w. F. Dickermans lecture in the Church of
 the Messiah last evening. The follow CTS of Emmanuel Swedenborg, are known as the new church, and it was to
 the teachings of these people and their founder thatthe audience had the pleas
 ure of hearing treated by MT. Dicker-
 man, who related many incidents in the life of this truly wonderful man. It is related of the founder of Swedenborgianism that MT. Wesley, the founder oe Methodism, made an ap- pointment with him, which, when the time came could not be kept by the
 English preacher. Another meeting was
 sought and date fixed. Swedenborg
 sent word that before that time he
 would have passed into the spirit land,
 as he would go on the 29th day of March
 1772. That he had some knowledge of
 what he said is certainly not disproved
 by his death occurring on that date. It
 was after Swedenborg had reached the
 age of fifty-seven that he began his
 theological researches. He always spoke of the work as having been called to it.
 This claim he made when he was in the full possession of his power, and in the complete sanity of mind. He claimed that the work was by special dispensation. He did not attend the Lutheran church because, he said, it pained him to hear the spirits contra dict the preacher. Ralph Waldo Elm
 merson said of Swedenborg. that The was the last of the apostles" The new church has no reason to be ashamed of it's founder.
 The writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg
 has had more to do with liberalism, the views of modern clergymen, than those
 of any other man, and especially is this true of the doctrine of the resurrection. He was said to be dreamer. but no
 one acn accuse him of being illogical. There is a thorough system in all his | writings The doctrines of the new church are much is accord with modern spiritualism, Unitarians and Universal | ists. The polity of the new church is exceedingly democratic. They encour- age order and good manners in relig- | ion. They have done much to cultivate on modern religious thought. The l church is recovering from aterialism 1 through the effort of the new church,
 and We wish them God speed in those | things.

A Vast Territory Over Which a Few Men
 Ministcr.
 Bishop Talbot of the diocese of Idaho and w. Young spoke yesterday morn ing at Trinity P. E. church of the work that is being done in the frontier states and especially of that in the states comprising his diocese. Bishop Talbot has been stationed in this diocese for nine years During this time the church has made rapid progress. From seven churches and four clergymen in 1887 there are now thirty churches and forty ministers. Several schools have been es- tablished. and in the northern part of Idaho there has been built hospital for the miners.
 The territory over which Bishop Tal- bot has Jurisdiction can better be appre- ciated when ,as the speaker said, it Is known that it comprises an area equal to all New England and the middle states and Maryland. It is a mistake, the bishop said, to send uncultured men to these territories, as they will come in contact with bright minds, graduates of colleges, bankers and business men. It therefore behooved the church to send men of culture and refinement to the work

 Editorial Note.

 Impressionism in Economies; The
 Abuse of Patriotism; The Progress Of Civil Service Reform; Two Notable
 addresses.
 An rnteroceanic Canal from the Stand- point of Interest-Theodore 5. Woolsey.

 Government Administration of 1ndus- trial Enterprise-A. T. Hadley. Labor in California-Carl c. Plehn. The Ethics of Copyright-Kate II. Clag- horn.
 Book Reviews.
 The Review says editorially in regard to the change of editors contemplated
 "The establishment of the American Historical Review under a representa- tive board of editors, chosen from six universities renders it unnecessary for the Yale Review to continue to occupy field that can be filled so much more adequately by periodical devoted eX- clusively to it. After the close of the present volume, therefore. general his Etorical subjects will not be treated by the Yale Review. At the same time Professor G. B. Adams, who is one of the editors of the Historical Review, and Professor G. P. Fisher will retire from our editorial board and their places will be filled by Professors w. r. Blackman, E. G. Bourne and Irving Fisher, all of Yale university
 This change in our scope makes it possible for us to specialize, and, by covering a narrower field, to cover it more fully. In the future, while wei coming to our pages timely articles on any subject in economies, public law or politics, we expect to give special attention to the scientific and histori- cal treatment of questions relating to the distribution of wealth, the contest, between employers and employed, the struggle for existence, the problem of poverty and kindred subjects, which are so urgent at the present time, and which demand, above all things, a can did and impartial treatment

Lynn, Mass, Feb. 16.-Lieut. Nelson H. Doe, after suffering indescribable agony for forty-eight hours, died at SOS o'clock this evening at the Lynn hospital of hydrophobia. The applica- ton of electricity, which was to have been tried Saturday, had to be abandon ed on account of the intractibility of the patient Prof. Elihu Thompson said that the application would have been purely experimental as electricity had never to his knowledge been applied in a hydrophobia case He would venture no opinion as to the probable result.
