Explanatory.

ness III nlSn places. IncSe phrases are
certain to be obscure to the ordinary
reader. Some careless readers suppose
that Paul refers to earthly rulers. the
Roman empire, for instance, with its sys-
TEN of oppression: and that spiritual
wickedness in high places means the
wickedness of high officials Of the church
All this is foreign to his thought. He is
speaking of a system Of false philosophy,
with just enough Of Jewish and Christina
truth in it to make its neo-platonc err
rOrs plausible, known later as Gnosticism
1t gained its greatest strength in the sec
ond century, but was certainly in exist
ence during the latter years of Paul's
life. This system included Il series of an
gelic beings between God and man. to
intermediate between them--since il wars
thought that God could not directly coyl-
municate with man. TO these beings
were given the names powers" "prin-
cipalities," thrones" etc. They were
regarded as having their abode in the
thigh places" of the universe. that is, in
the upper spheres of the air. 1t is against
these that Paul writes in such passages
rs Eph. /: 81, Col. /: 16, Rom. s: 3S. 1t
is to be remarked, however, that Paul, in
speaking of Il warfare against the insidi-
Gus errors of false philosophy. does not
confine himself to that. The whole sense
of the passage seems to be that he uses
these temptations, these errors, these dan
gers as an example of all with which the
Christian soldier must contend--that is,
all spiritual enemies. In his day many
of them were external; to-day, perhaps
most of the fighting has to be done with
ones own spiritual faults.
Having done all, to stand: justly
famous verse. for it sums up all that dog
ged, unmovable persistence that marked
Pauls own life and mf-ie him the power
that he was. In teaching such pas
sage the teacher will find abundant illus
trations in history. from Thermopyla.e to
Chickamauga; and just as pertinent ones
in civil life. of men who resisted corrup-
ton and wrong.
Teaching Hints.
This is in some ways an easy and pleas
ant lesson to teach. because ii seems so
very practical. Many points can be
brought out about the Christian armor;
for instance, that one must have the
whole of il, or the rest will be of no avail;
to protect one part of the body and leave
another unguarded is useless. Now il
we have the armor of truth. but not that
of salvation, we are defcnseless, for the
head, the most important part of the body
and the most easily wounded. is exposed;
and either. or both, would be unavailing
without the shield of faith. 1t is Of
course true that truth and salvation both
depend, in certain way, on faith. Par
ticular attention ought to be directed 10
the sword Of the Spirit, which is the word
of God; thslgh Paul did not of course
refer specifically by this phrase to the
Bible as we have it. but rather to the
Old Testament, the figure holds good for
the New. The Bible as n weapon is a
theme for thoughtful consideration and
earnest teaching.

The appearance OF William Owen and

With delight by all who have a penchant

predict that "Richelieu" will be greeted

ia the pity we can not have such more
frequently, as there are certainly admir-
ers enough here OF the better class of
dramatic productions TO warrant num-
erous visits of such attractions. This is
the first Shakesperian company that
has been announced here for several
years and when the fact is taken into
consideration that this aggregation il
first-class in every respect they should
appear TO a crowded house at each per-
iormance.

Capt. Hans Anderson,
a Survivor. Lectures
on the Conflict.
The COwardly Lieutenant
which Resulted In the Merri-
mac Getting Away.

The lecture given by CAPTAIN Hans
Anderson at the Light Guard armory
last evening was attended by many o
his fellow countrymen and othere who
were DESTROYS OF hearing the captain tell
the story of the great naval battle be-
tween the Merrimac and the Monitor.
The lecture was thoroughly interesting
from beginning to end. although the cap
tain's enunciation was not very clear
and the strictest attention had TO be
given TO keep the trend OF his thought.
de told the story of the great battle as
only one who was there could tell it and
his pictures OF the situation on board the
boat were very clear. He told OF the leav-
ing of the boat and her crew from Castle
Garden at New York, amid the cheers
and well wishes Of the crowds that were
there to see the boat off. He followed
the boat in the stormy trip down the
Atlantic coast to Hampton Roads, where
she was ordered to protect the Mime
sota, which was hard aground. Here
the first encounter with the Merrimac oc-
Cured. The real battle with the Merri-
mac happened later when the big boat
attempted to run down the Monitor.
One well aimed shot from the Monitor
did the business and the Merrimac had
to steam out for repairs and did not
show up for many weeks and when she
did put in an appearance the rebels ran
her aground and blew her up.
The captain says that the Monitor
could have easily sunk the Merrimac il
she had followed her up the first time,
but the commander was young heuten-
ant and he was afraid to run any risks.
Captain Anderson followed with the
story OF the work OF the Monitor after
this time and also spoke OF his own mis-
fortune in falling on some machinery and
disabling himself and his later service on
another Monitor.

In Honor Of The Dead
City Unites i'm Paying
Homage to Capt.
HoatsOn.
Business Was at q Standstill
Iaxs at HALF. mast aud Places OF Bus-
iuess Generally Were Closed
The Ci,y uourns.
Business generally in Calumet and Red
Jacket was at a standstill yesterday
afternoon, out OF respect to the memory
OF the late Captain Thomas HoatsoD,
whose funeral then took place. The Cal
umet and Hecla mine. OF which he was
underground superintendent, closed
down during the afternoon to give the
men an opportunity to show their regard
for the deceased. The business houses in
Red Jacket closed during the hour OF the
funera, and flags we're flying at half mast
over many of the stores.
The funeral was very largely attended.
The men from the mine forming a line FIVE
or six deep and extending the entire
length of Fifth street. lie is estimated
that fully 1.200 men were IN line. The
funeral cortege OF rigs. OF which there
were about 200, was as long again, peo-
pie coming from all parts OF the county
to attend. Theservices at the residence
were simple, in accordance with the wish
OF the deceased, and were conducted by
Rev. ID. Stalker, pastor OF the Presbyter-
ian church, and the Rev. DR.. Hunter, OF
the Congregational church. Alter the
services the corteae moved through lied
jacket to Lake View cemetery where the
remains were laid at rest.
The pail bearers were Messrs Charles
Briggs. John Duncan, James Ramsay,
William Weir, Charles W. Niles and Will
liam Tonkin.
There can be no doubt but that the
funeral was the largest everknown in the
copper region, which certainly never con-
tanned kinder hearted man than Capt.
Hoatson and he was truly one OF the
noblest works of God. "An honest man."
