ST. LUKE's CATHEDRAL.
Bishop Seymour Of Illinois Occupies tn.
Pulpit.

Bishop Seymour of Springfield, Ills, has
been passing his vacation Eat the White
Mountains, and happened to be in Portland
Saturday. By invitation of Dean Sills, he
occupied the pulpit at St. Lulzes Cathedral
yesterday morning, thus affording the par
ishoners a rare pleasure.
Bishop Seymour is one of the church cham
pions, man of great fore and intelligence.
He was for years the professor of ecclesias-
teal history in the Episcopal Theological
Seminary. He is man of commanding
presence and about IS years of age.
The Bishop took for his text from the Cos
pei of the Day, "He has done all things
wen.'' He spoke of the miracle performed
by the Lord when He made the deaf to
hear and the dumb to speak, and the speak
er said the idea was the miracles spoken
| of in the Bible, taken collectively, proved
the restoration of the whole man at the
Resurrection.
Another point made by the speaker was
| tn at the science of the present day claimed
to accomplish everything. When in medi-
| cine or surgery any wonderful cure is effect
| ed, people are found ready to compare the
skill that has accomplished it to the mar
vellous powers of Jesus. But it is simply ap-
plying the laws of God that brings about
the great result. The real miracles are those,
like the distribution of the five loaves and
fishes to the multitude from which so many
baskets of fragments were recovered. Such
miracle is not possible to science. Only
God could accomplish it. There is no hui
man being who can take the place of God
OF of His laws.
The Bishop devoted considerable space to

A SOCIALIST ORATOR.
Takes the Place of the POpulist Sum
day School.

There Was An Audience of just Fifteen
People Including the Reporters-Mr.
j. W. Badger Was the Orator of the
Occasion.
The scene of the Populist Sunday School
was changed yesterday. In the place of the
school was lecture by an emissary and Or
ganizer of the Socialist Labor Party, MI. J.
W. Badger of Boston. In response to some
requests of the audience, he abandoned the
manuscript lecture he had prepared and de-
1ivered an extemporary address. MI. Bad
ger begun his address by reference to car
toons in the comic papers portray
ing great masses of the people as follow
ers of anarchy and riot and denounced them
in the strongest terms, declaring the editors
themselves knew the ideas portrayed were
not true.
Continuing, he said in substance 81 was

ing and fishing. There were 11>of them. All
the clothing, utensils, bedclothes and tools
were made on the place itself by the users.
There was no clashing of interests. The
product of each was divided among al. We
have reached a condition in this country
that may be Hkened to some of the condit-
ions of that form. We have 365 or more
trusts or corporations that produce all we
need for our necessities and uses. Shall we
pass everything into the hands of these
trusts and become mere dependents upon
them, or shall we use them ourselves, and
by a social and industrial organization reap
the fruits thew, the founders of this great

There may be no politics in the
Methodist Episcopal church, but
it does not look like 1t at Cleve-
land. There has been as much
disturbance In that godly assem-.
bly, as in the profane gatherings Of
the politicians, the same greed for
office, the same tactics to corral an
election, the same heartburnings
and envyings, the same bitterness
and strife, the same hot speech and
temper. 1t might be instructive
for these descendants of the apos-
ties to study the rules Of "Moder-
stor" John. Peter could also be
reviewed with profit, and Paul has

Altgeld is as slippery as an eel
and as venemous as RATHER. To
prevent his work for deprecated
currency will require political
skill and courage. He has a large
following that sticks at nothing.
The democratic foes are they of its
