ST JOHNS FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The Deficia i. s2,aoo-Ea.ter oaer-
fngs Called For.

Inc REV. E. L. Stoddard has Issued
circulars to the parishioners OF Sc. John.
church giving a financial statement Of
All moneys received and disbursed during
the last six years. The report shows that
the aggregate current expenses for the
period named exceed the total current
income IN the sum of s., 357. As. With the
aid OF former balance and difference in
temporary loans, this is reduced to the
sum of A,l75.92, the amount finally used
OF the property bono Ind mortgage. loan
This was made necessary because of the
vigorous efforts put forth in 1893 and 1884
to provide the needfuI funds for the
church enlargement, and in which the
Easter and Christmas offerings hereto
fore relied upon to make up current ac-
count deficiencies were applied TO that
fund. These offerings amounted to Slo.-
O72.46 The total Easter and Christmas
offerings in the six-year-period was Sl6.-
6l9.l2. Only s6,0f6.66 Of This sum was APP
piled to the use of the current account.
At the beginning Of this report, Adj
vent, 1883, the church mortgage debt was
so,66o, and a floating debt of S1,2O0. In
1882 the Ladies Acorn Society paid on
account of the mortgage debt $3.50, leaving
due $4,000. which. with the building en-
largement loan of $l5, 600. makes the pres
ent mortgage debt to the Provident In
stitution for Savings $4,000. at annual
Interest of 5 per cent. Through the cur
rent fund account the floating debt, 81, 200.
or 1889 has been paid. There, however,
now exists a floating deb or temporary
loan Of the First National Bank Of Jer-
sey City of 50, 15S. 48. rhis debt the vestry
confidently expects the congregation to
liauidate by their offerings on Easter
Sunday.
In concluding this report the Finance
Committee congratulates the paaishion-
ers upon their enla.s ed, improved and
beautiful church home. and urges each
member, Of the parish-old and young.
rich and poor-to do what he or she feels
to be the limits of possibility in contrib
uting towards the expense of maintaining
and conducting its divine services.
The committee adds
ct will be seen by the enclosed report
that we ave a deficit of nearly 81, 200.
It is just to say that his is because the
current receipts naturally fell off while
extra efforts were made to raise money
for completing the church. This S ,2o0 we
must ask you to fully meet by your offer

His Career.
The Rev. H. C. Baum Will assume
charge OF the Pilgrim Baptist Church ON
Charles street tomorrow. There will be
special services in the church in honor
Of the occasion, and an elaborate pro-
gramme will be carried out. The Rev.
G. A. Schultz, General Secretary of the

All the ministers in New York ard vicin..
ity and from Jersey City have been in

boken will also be present.
The Rev. H. C. Baum was born in
Morrhardt, Germany, in 1870. He stud
led in the public schools there and at
forwards in the Wesleyn Methodist Col
fege, at Cannstatt, from which he grad
uated after a three-year term. Accord
ing to the German custom, it was neces-
sary for him to join the army for two
years, which he did. When his two years
was up, his brother, who was a Bap-
fist minister at Falsondale, near Buffalo.
New York State, sent for him and he
arrived soon after. Through the efforts
of his brother he allowed himself to be
baptized in the year 1898. He then stud
led a short time to become a Baptist
minister, and in 1894 he was admitted
to the ministry. On November 1, 1894,
ne accepted a call to the First German
Baptht Church at Jamesburg, N. j.,
where he remained for one year and five
months. His second call is to the Pill
grim Baptist Church, this city. Mr..
Baum is a young man of pleasing man
ners and Of general ability. He is said
to be an eloquent speaker and comes

The Reaction Against Parkburstisn

The Reaction Against Parkb urstism
The signs of the reaction against
Parkhurstism in New York are very APP
parent. AS was to be feared. they are
liable to run to excess. The Manhattan
Liberal Club held a meeting last evening.
in the course of which a very proper
and natural resistance to the Dictator
ial methods of extreme reformers seemed
to tend to degeneration into an unreas-
oning revolt against the churches.
This is, of course, all wrong; but
the people who are responsible for it
are not Thaddeus B. wakeman and the
so-called liberal element, but DR.. Park
hurst, Anthony Comstock, Elbridge T.
Gerry and others who ineite revolt by
the gross abuse of principle and author
fly. Thus, when one of these fanatics
makes New York .sdry" on Sundays,
when another of them fills the institu-
artifcially pauperized children, and when
the third forces his narrow judgment up
on art and literature and the stage, the
truly thinking man may discriminate and
only revolt against the injudicious ex-
treme, but the unthinking multitude are
very apt to rise up against the system
which creates these petty tyrants, and
for whose sake they claim to infict
their outrages upon the public.
All history shows that every period OF
Puritanism has had its reaction in the
form of aa era of license in thought and
action. The more severe the Puritanism
Of the one period, the more desperate the
depravity Of its successor is sure to be.
The men who are trying to compress
all human nature within the narrow
limits of their own conceptions of right,
will have a fearful crop of sin and evil
to answer for in the near future.

Academy OF VI ueic.

Edward Barbour's thrilling trnelodrama,
Land of the Midnight sun viii be the
attraction at the Academy Of Missic next
week. The play. like most Of Manager
Walters productions, the effects attained
are highly realistic and spectacular. The
strongest of these Is the eruption-of Mount
Heekla. and the explosion Of the sulphur
mines, two scenes that admit OF a grand
pyrotechnic display. Til story is one
OF strong emotion. dealing with the
lives of two brothers who are unknown
to each other, one seeking vengeance
upon the other for a wrong wrought by
their own father. Mr.. Barbour. the
author. acknowledges that ne IS indebted
for some of the principal incidents . OF
his play to the famous story, The Bond

Mr.. Barbour, that It is scarcely recognized

said to be far above the average ana that
a good performance viii be given is hard
~ TO be doubted.
On Monday. April 6, Robert Hilliard will
come 70 the Academy with Lost Twenty
our Hours
Mr.. Hilliard has made a decided hit dur
ing the present season and his business
mas been highly satisfactory. Many Of
the critics have pronounced him as being
among the foremost of Americas COM
edians, and all have complimented him
highly upon the admirable work which he
displays as Dick Swift. The play is a
~clean-cut comedy of a refined order. It
is replete with brilliant dialogue, bright
laugh-provcking situations and clever
comedy. 1t was first presented by MI.
Hfliisrd at Hoyts Theatre last autumn
where 1t enjoyed a long and profitable
run. Mr.. Hiliiard has surrounded him
self with an excellent company and has
given great care to the staging of the
piece. thereby insuring a clever and even
performance throughout. This engage
ment should attract more than ordinary
attention, as, judging from reports
which have been received from other
cities, the attraction is above the ordin-
airy and will doubtless prove the chief
comedy event of the present theatrical
season.

Medical Ethics Here and Abroad
The Kffson Case.

The Kitson SANDER trial in London
shows that there is at least one thing in
which our American medical men are
ahead of their Old Country brethren, that
thing being sense of honor. 1t seems to
be the etiquette of the profession in
Great Britain to traffic in the secrets of
patients. using them for all sorts of per-
sonal purposes, according as Individual
sense of duty or personal inclination may
dictate. It is not wonderful that such a
system should lead 10 shocking abuse,
as it plainly has lone in the heart break
ing persecution Of Mrs. Kitson.
In this country. not only the code of
professional ethics, but also the law of
almost every State makes the communica-
ton between patient and physician priv
LEGGED in the most inviolable way. No
cess of law to give evidence concerning
revelations made to him by his patient,
and he is not allowed to reveal the re-
suits of professional examination, made
in his capacity as personal medical ad-
wiser, without the patients consent.
In the position taken by Judge Haw-
kins. by the jury, and by practically
every soul in court in the Kitsom case,
we see the sturdy British respect for
personal rights asserting itself ever above
conventionality and Mrs. G~rundyism. The
