DIR. PARKHURST ABLE TO PREACH AGAIN

The Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst had recov-
cred sufficiently from his recent sickness to preach
yesterday morning in the Madison Square Presby-
terrain Church His sermon devoted to
sidera,ion OF mans lack of appreciation OF his
blessings and mans discomfort
There IS doubt" he said. that there
some OF us who do not have all that We think we
ought have, bu; the question IL. Is 1t not jea-
ousy that makes W. more miserable than would
be If no had better things than ourselves? 1t
Is the case with many OF us that the mere thought
that others have better things makes discon-
tented This is mean spirit II is the same spirit
that IL shown by a chill that throws its toy in
the fire because another child has prettier toy.
DR.. Parkhurst said that these discontinued per-
sons were miserable because they did not have
all the artificial comforts that they did not appre-
clate the natural comforts they had. There is"
he said mo man. In my opinion. no matter how
his house Is. who would not give II all up and
90 the woods and live In hut rather than be
deprived of his eyesght. II people would spend a
little OF the time considering what blessings they
do enjoy that they do in looking with green eyes
over their neighbors' fences. the world would be
better and they would be happier"
Or. Parkhurst said that he had only coasted
along the edge of his subject yesterday. and would
go deeper into II next Sunday
After the services Or. Parkhurst was greeted by
a large number OF friends. He pale and some
what exhausted by the effort Of preaching but
said he felt greatly improved and expected fully
recover his strength soon.

THE INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES


The Rev DR. Charles II Eaton preached last
night in the Church of the Divine Paternity. Fifth
ave- and Forty-ffth-st.. on THE Inspiration OF the
Bible" He declared that there was no doubt as
10 the inspiration Of the Bible. and that the
fact that there different interpretations placed
on certain passages OF the Bible did not throw
discredt on the divine inspiration OF the Scriptures
There are at least niney-nne quotations in the
Old and New Testament that are fourd In different
garbs St Paul st. Matthew and the other writ
ers though inspired. had different versions OF the
same matters. 80
1T is not rational TO say that II is impossible for
God to make revelations to man unless we deny
Gods divinity No who believes In the exist
ence of God will deny that He reveals Himself in
nature and the elements. No the
beauties Of nature and deny Gods power Of divine
inspiration. He who traces the course OF the
planets cannot fail to learn something Of the
power and divine nature of GCd-the God who d.
and governs the world
I'm his Scriptures God has revealed Himself 10
man. | think that reasoning men will agree that
nothing Is impossible for God TO do. One might AZ
well say that man can send message along
the TELEGRAPH wires that God cannot string His
wires between Himself and His children-between
Ills heart and the hearts OF His children. God Is
all-powerful and His Bible is inspired

QUESTION OF STARVATION IN THE
KLONDEkE GIVEN OFFICIAL *
ATTENTION.
THE CABINET TAKES IT UP
NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL con-
GRESS MAKES AN APPR0-
PRIATION.
ALL ARE INTENSELY INTERESTED.
Money, is 1t Is Provided, Will Be
Expended Under Direction of
War Department.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The cabi-
net today considered the subject OF
sending relief to the people in the
Klondike. President Mckinley re-
ceived telegram from the Portland,
Or, chamber of commerce, stating
that there was danger of restitution
and suffering on the Klondlke, ana
offering to supply the necessary food
for relief if the government would I'M
dertake it's transportation. The 1nfor-
nation was not definite as to the
actual conditions, but was on the same
line that has been telegraphed from
the Northwest The cabinet constd-
cred every phase of the situation, and
discussed ways and means of affordinS
relief.
1t was decided that nothing could
be done until congress met, when an
appropriation will be asked for the
purpose of transporting food supplies.
The members of the cabinet were
all intensely interested in the matter
Of securing relief. Whether the men
who are supposed to be suffering were
there or not against the repeated
warnings of all officials is beyond the
question, the simple fact being that
they are there and are in need Of re-
lief making 1t imperative upon the
government to extend aid if possible.
4NO SSlllldle has DSen IIlduS DIS "
the cost and none can be prepared
now. Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate a sufficient amount, and the
war department will expend it in the
most economical manner, as in the
case of the Mississippi food sufferers,
when 100000 was appropriated, and
only $500 expended.
Secretary Alger believes that Capt.
Ray has gone to Dawson, and that
he will make his way pack and re-
port upon the condition there. Moth
ing has been heard from him since he
left for the Yukon, but the secretary
expects advices from him any day. 1t
is probable that the president will
send a special message to congress
asking an appropriation for the re-
lief of the people in the Klondike, and
it is believed that prompt action will
be taken and the money made i'm
mediately available.
