last paper was by Rev. John Whitehead on
Radiant Energy"
In the course of his paper Mr. Whitehead
SAID that there are two views of the origin
of the forces displayed in nature one thar
they originate from God, and the other that
they are inherent in nature itself OF all
VINO mold the former position, the New
Churcn alone has clear view of the rein
ton which the Creator bears 10 creatio,1
and of the manner in which He operatss
INTO the universe to sustain and preserve il
BY tie doctrine Of dscrete degrees it as
cends from effects to causes by distinct
steps Of ascent, until it comes to the first
cause IN the Lord Himself. But material
lstc philosophers, in tracing effects to
causes, resolve all the complex phenomena
OF human, animal and vegeta BILE life IN mo
chanical principles alone. and all things are
sald to have originated from mere dead
matter dltfused in a nebulous state througb
space, which possesses neither wisdom
love, Intelligence, voition or any human
quality.
1hls dead, unorsanized, chaotic matter
by fortuitous concourse of circum-
stances, produced all the marvellous COM
blnauonS of matter which We behold in
the universe today, which are held togetber
ana governed by the most wonderful laws
and in which wisdom and love are mani
tested in. all their forms and uses Thus
ma terlaliStic philosophers descend from
highly organized forms to less organized
ones, and finally to unorganized matter
INKS a descent in the steps of a ladder to
less and less adequate causes, and at
length to that which is least able to pro-
duce the results We see around u.s.
The New Church, on the other hand by
Its philosophy, ascends through discrete
degrees from effects to more and more in
terior causes, to the first cause the Lord
Himself. who is the origin of all living
and dead forces. He communicates them
through two suns, the spiritual and nat
ural. by means of three discrete degrees of
atmospheres under each Sun, and all the
phenomena of gravitation, magnetism,
molecular and chemical forces, also heat,
light and all other forms of energy are
effects produced by vibrations produced by
the sun in the three atmospheres
In the evening the annual meeting of the
alumni association of the theological school
was held. There we're several addresses
followed by brief discussions.

Treasurer Lewis Of the Ohio Mine
Workers union, Monday received word
from the Sunday Creek valley that
three of the largest mines had gone
to work at the Gl-cont rate. This
action is expected to cause break
in the ranks Of the operators,
who have been holding out for 40 and
5l-cent rates which conforms to the
ditfcrential between Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania. There is great dissatis-
faction among the miners all over the

foot for strike not later than the
middle of January for the restoration
of the Gi-cent rate without regard to
what the Western Pennsylvania mines
may be paying

Y. NJ. C. A.

The Sunday afternoon gospel meet
ings at the Y. M. c. A. rooms are
fast growing in popularity as is evil
denced by the large attendance at the
services. The young men have come
to appreciate the efforts of the man
agement in securing. good speakers
and arranging excellent musical pro-
grammes.
The rally yesterday afternoon was
led by Rev. Dana W. Bartlett. of the
Phillips Congregational church, who
delivered an impressive discourse on
the subject: Rejoice, o Young Man,
In Thy Youth
Rev. Bartlett pointed to the many
opportunities young man has for
doing good. The great fault with the
youth of today was that they neglect
ed to build a foundation for a happy
future life. Many look upon the
springtime of life as a period for hav-
ing a good time in a temporal sense.
The young man who places himself on
the Masters side is the one whose
harvest will be happiness in after
years, while the youth who sows his
wild oats must expect to reap the
fruit of his waywardness. How i'm
portant, therefore, to begin a pure life
during the period when energy and en-
thusiasm can be best exerted for the
work in the Lords field.

rlR. HOLT REPLIES.
To the Report Made by the Sewer
Committee.

To the Report Made by the Sewer
Committee.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Will you kindly give space in your
columns to the following as ar answer
to the sewer committees report presented
to the city council last Tuesday evening
and adopted by them
The first claim of S2,928 for extra con-
crete was ignored because a like claim
was repudiated by the committee when
asked for by the contractors. This is
why we petitioned that this amount be
retained from the contractors as the
city by their ruling had considered it an
unjust claim. By the sewer committee
repudiating our claim virtually admits
that it is just for the contractors to
charge US with extra concrete but I'M
just for the city to allow it.
The second claim of 4,200 cubic yards
of extra excavation and back-tilling
amounting to $1,680 is ignored because
they say no allowance was made the
contractors. Notwithstanding to the con-
trary Engineer Doremus estimate of 1893
was 1920 cubic yards less than the esti-
mate given by Captain Young in 1895, and
yet no allowance % was made.
The third claim of 1885, AL feet of lumber
was ignored because they say all our
work was done in dry ground. We can
show lumber bills amounting to S3,573.O2
for lumber that went into the sewer
trench to hold UP the banks. Why should
it take so much lumber to hold up dry,
hard banks? The idea is absurd and no
sane man will believe the report Mr..
Hobsoln made statement before the
committee in my presence to the effect
that it cost him several hundred dollars
to pump water out of the trench we dug.
Yet the committee says it was dry ground
we eXcavated in.
This is a fine pass Ahings have come
to. Our "city fathers" can say Ito crafty
scheming contractors thirsty desire for
gain that 80, liz cubic yards in 1895 is the
same as 27,912 cubic yards in 1893, that
ii took S3,573.02 worth of lumber to keep
up the dry walls of a trench, and that
it took several hundred dollars to pump
water out of a dry trench. This report of
the committee is as misleading as it is
untruthful and sad reflection upon the
men that make up this committee, be-
cause they have distorted the truth in
order that a few more unearned dollars
may reach the pockets of the contractors.
The material we paid for and the labor we
performed the city council has paid some
one else for, because as they say We
put lumber in dry trench when it did
not need it, and that 50, liz cubic yards in
1885 is no more than 27,912 in 1898.
II our claim is not just why pervert
the truth? If our claim is not just should
the city pay some one else for it? Why
not save the city this much instead of
paying it to some one else whose money
never did pay for this material and labor?
Can you not smell something rotten
about this whole proceeding?
