the same mysterious limitations which
bind human effort. Christianity processes
to MAKE men wise unto salvation. 1t makes
plain the path OF duty, but 1t pauses at
the boundary of utility.
1.-THE Holy Apostle, caught up into the
third heaven, saw things which he tells us
were unutterable and things which 1t is
not lawful TO repeat. There are many
things which are apprehended, but which
may not be demonstrated by the mathe-
mates of pure reason, and yet they are
not unreasonable. They are simply the
things belonging to the infinite which are
beyond the power of mortal ken"
At St. Luke's on Van Ness avenue the
church was filed with the bright faces OF
miniature Episcopalians. The following
Sunday-schools were present: Trinity,
ST. Luke's, Grace, st. Johns, St. Peters
Advent, Good Samaritan, st. Mary's, st.
James, st. Stephens and st. Paul's. Be-
sides these the children of the Protestant
Episcopal Orphan Asylum were present
under the Rev. Mr.. Kip.
The opening address was by Rev. Mr..
Moreland. Before delivering it, however,
he read telegram from Bishop Nichols,
sending greeting to the children. In his
brief sermon he explained to the children
the meaning of the Trinity, and held q
glass prism in his hand to show that were
a beam of white light passed through it
the beam would be separated into three
prominent colors-red, yellow and blue.
"Christ," said the speaker, was the
prism who showed us that God, although
being but one is at the same time three"
The Rev. Mr.. Lion of st. Stephens then
add ressed the children on the same SUBJ
ject, carrying the trend of Mr.. Moreland's
remarks still further. "We must not
only have true faith" said he, "but we
must continually be doing good. One act
of kindness every day Is splendid rule to
follow. Let US do what God calls US to do
in our own way, and We will all be mis-
sionaries to carry his truth to all the
world ~

the Dolphin CLUB and Stewart Carter of
the Olympic Athletic Club.
The crowd in the hall was SO large that
at one time during the afternoon it was
thought the floor would collapse. No
more people were allowed in the building
or the grounds till props had been put up
and the floor strengthened.
Next Sunday the Dolphins will give a
picnic at Sunset Park.
The Dolphins and their friends as
sembled in large room of the old wooden
mills adjacent to their clubhouse. SO
large was the crowd that its weight over
taxed the floor.
The joists began to show signs of giving
way, and Immediately the men in charge
cleared the place. This was done so
cleverly that it was not generally known

Coleman sang several solos, in which she
displayed a sweet voice of more than
ordinary mellowness and power. She
was accompanied on the piano very salts
factorily by her sister Emily.
There was good attendance at Wash
lngton Hall to hear DR.. Robbins speak on
the spiritualists' convention and why
spiritualists do not organize. 1t appeared
from the gentleman's remarks that he had
not been invited to take part in the con-
yention and therefore had not attended.
He said that spiritualists had not formed
a great organization because spiritualism
was too big to be confined by rules or
within sects. It's devotees were to be
found in all the Christian churches, and
even judges on the bench consulted me-
diums to ask what they should do with
criminals who were to be tried before
them.

The Destructive Invasion of the Great City
In the Thirteenth Century.

III ZIG 1hlTteentn century.
The siege OF Tyre by Alexander, of SYRIA
cuse by Nicias, of Carthage by Scipio the
two sieges of Jerusalem by Titus and by
Godfrey, tho successive sackings Of Rome
the defense OF Rhodes and Malta against
tho Turks-none of these can quite equal
In vivid color and breathess interest tho
two great captures of Constantinople, and
certainly the last. 1t stands out on tho
canvas of history by the magnitude of tho
issues involved to religion, TO nations, to
civilization, in the glowing incidents of
the struggle, in the heroism Of the defense
and of the attack in the dramatic catas-
trophc and personal contrast of two typ.
ical chiefs, one at the head of the conquer
ors and tho other of the defeated And, by
singular fortune, this thrilling drama
In great turning point of human civiliza-
ton, has been told in the most splendid
chapter OF the most consummato history
which our language has produced
The storming and sack of Constantine
pie in the fourth crusade by a mixed host
of Venetian, Flemish, Italian and French
hlibusters, story so we'll told by Mr. T..
Pears in his excellent monograph, was
not only one of the most extraordinary adj
ventures of the middle ages but ono of
the most wanton crimes against civiliza.
ton committed by feudal lawlessness and
religious bigotry at time of confusion
and superstition. 1t Is dark blot on the
record of the church and on the memory
OF Innocent III, and a standing monu-
mcnt Of the anarchy and rapacity to which
feudalism was liable to degenerate.
The sack Of Constantinopie by tho so
called soldiers of tho cross in the thir-
teenth century was far moro bloodthirsty.
moro wanton moro destructive than the
storming of Constantinople by the follow
ers of Mohammed in the fifteenth century.
1t had far less historic Justification, it had
more disastrous effects on human progress,
and 1T introduced less valuable and less
enduring type of civilized life The cru
saders, who had no serious aim but plum
der, effected nothing but destruction
They practically annihilated tho east Ro-
man empire, which never recovered from
this fatal blow. 1t is true that tho Byzan-
tine empire had been rapidly decaying for
moro than a century, and that its inds-
pensablc service to civilization was COM
pletcd. But the crusading buccaneers
burned down great part of the richest
city OF Europe, which was q museum and
remnant of antiquity; they wantonly de-
stroyed priceless works of art, buildings
books, records and documents. They eff
fected nothing of their own purpose, and
what they indirectly caused was stimu-
lus to Italian commerce, tho dispersion
through Europe of some arts and the re-
moval of the last barrier against the en-
trance of the Moslem into Europe Fort

The After Effects of Grin.

NO one has, up to dato, been able satis-
factorily to diagnose the after effects of
this remarkable epidemic. An eminent
authority in commenting on its peculiari-
ties says that fresh air is tho best tonic and
restorer. Among the most serious symp-
toms OF apparent convalescence is the ex-
tremo depression to which tho patient is
liable In this state q suicidal tendency is
often developed and hysteria is not I'm
common. This is specially noted in cases
where there has been a great deal of pain
