RELIGION AND BUSINESS
Eloquent Sermon by the Rev. Dr..
McKim, of Epiphany.
The I,ate NJ. w. Beveridge taken as
His Example of the Christian
Successful in Life.

The Rev. DR.. MeKim, rector ofthe Church
of the Epiphany, at the evening service
last night delivered a magnificent eulogy
on sthe character and work of the late NJ.
W. Beyeridee, who was one Of his par
ishioners and most earnest philanthropic
worIe ers. The church was filled with
friends and business acquaiutances of
the deceased, who listened attentively to
the words of praise.
The announcement had been made that
Dr. McKiin would preach on the recon
citation between the business spirit ana
the religious spirit. No published state.
Inent, a least, had been made that Mr..
Beveuage would be cited as the example
of the perfect realization Gf the good
Christian who WAS also tie good business
man.
The text chosen 3 y DR.. McKiE was from
PauI's epistle 20 the Romans, XII, II: BE
thou not slothful ini business, fervent in
spirit, serving God
TO many theFe ts8n apparent conflict he
tween the commercial spirit and the re
ligioIs life, said Drv McKim. Tie Bible
tells US not to lay up treasures In tins
world; not to put our trust in wealth. u
tells us tfat the loYe Of money is the root
OF all evil. on the other hand, the belief
OF the street tells rs 70 strive for mastery
in the business world; 10 throw all our
energy into the battle for supremacy; to
fight the uuseen and eternal realities; u
lay up treasures on earth
This text frdp Itta says another thing.
The business and the religious lille are TO
gether IN it. In reality, they run parallel
telpiug each other, SuppleInenlng each

capped being burned to death. Two of
the buildings were owned by Charles
Ross, a notorious Hurley character.
Two weeks ago Henry Lensol came
over from Hurley and opened a
candy store in one of the buildings,
sleeping up stairs in the other. When
the fire broke out Romota's family
were rescued with difficulty, and Len
sol was accused of setting the fire.
Marshal Jefferies tried to quiet the
crowd which assembled, but with cries
of ''lynch him" several men picked
Lensol up bodily and started for the
fire with him, with the intention of
throwing him in. The firemen turned
the hose on the crowd. Jeffries ran
back and finally succeeded in getting
Lensol away and lodged him in Jail.

started the fire.

Cubans Winning More Victories.

Official informa ton has reached Ha-
vana of a decisive battle between Span
ish troops and insurgents in Matanzas
in which the Spanish were routed
after hard battle with heavy losses.
This news caused veritable sensation
in Havana, as Capt.-Gen. Weyler is
now in Matanzas, and there is belief
that the Spanish troops directly under
him were those who suffered defeat at
the hands of the rebels. A conserva-
tive estimate places the number of
Spanish killed at 200, while the rebel
loss was comparatively trifing. 1t is
said that Gen. Gomez personally com
manded the Cubans.
