GIBBONS PREACHED ON LOVE
The Cardinal Delivered an Interest
ing Sermon at st. PauPs.
The Distinctive Feature of the
Gospel of Christ-The Sac
rifice of God.

Cardinal Gibbons preached at st. Paul's
yesterday morning His sermon was brief
| but exceedingly interesting, the argument
proving that love is the foundation OF
Christianity
The cardinal took his text from Matthew.

and bringcth them up into an high noun
tain apart and was transflcured before
them and his face did shine as the sun
ana his raiment was white as the light
If asked what is the distinctive feature
of the gospel of Christ, the answer would
be, the reverend speaker said. Love -
IL All the ordinances OF the old and new
Testament were combined and gilted down
they would be found embodied in that
one word, love 1t is the surest way To
salvation; il is in accordance with the
divine law, Love thy Lord, thy God
and thy ncighbor as thyselr'' In this we
have Christianity in nutshell.
In searching the Scriptures, the cardinal
sud, 1t is but seldom we find the children
of Israel calling God, Father-they looked
but were not familiar enough or near
enough to Him to call Him Father. They
imagined He was too far from them, but
Christ wrought Il change in this by His
great love for us.
The principal feature of the life of Christ.
Cardinal Gibbons said was His universal
love. God, the Father, too, loved hu.
manity so that he gave up his only son
for its salvation. His love however, is
not like that Of a king for his subjects;
He felt a particular love for each. While
Christ loved all, sill He had a choice. as
was shown by His love for the young,
which was plainly evidenced when in op-
position to the wishes of his Disciples He
said: suffer little children to come unto
me. y Again, the great love of Christ is
seen in His visit to the tomb of Lazarus,
where He wept This He did because He
had human heart as well as divine
personality. He loved His apostles tco.
but lie did not complain when He was be.
trayed. He forcave. Many in these DAYS
think it cowardly to forgive, but it is a
great mistake. 1t is the noble, loving,
ChriSt-lilc spirit which forgives, and it
is the animal in man which strikes back
when opposed
our love for Christ and our neighbors is
shown by our sacrifices Every day oppor-
tunities present themselves to US that we
may show our love for Christ. 1t may he
in the pointing out OF the way to SOME
stranger, the giving up OF a seat in car
or pew in church, but they are all sacri-
ficcs whichfgo to test our love. Christ's
love for humanity was manifested in His
remaining at Tie cross ready to suffer and
be sacrificed. john great love was shown
by his care for Christ's mother, for in Low.
ing her he loved the Son.
In the afternoon the cardinal administer
ed the rite of confirmation to a class

SHE CELEBRATED TOO SOON.
A Dakota Divorce Party in New
York Rudely Interrupted.

| Mrs. Ida Boeger was holding a reception
| at the home of her mother, Mrs. Everts-
berg, Wednesday evening. The rooms
Were profusely decorated with flowers,
| the hostess, a very pretty woman, of the
| blonde type, was deliberately gowned, and
| the guests were in evening dress
A servant announced: "A young man
| with a present for you, Mrs Boeger."
The fair hostess stepped forward as a
young man carrying large parcel entered
the room.
How nice: I'll open it at once. It's for
me, you say" she asked, pausing to be
certain before undoing the parcel.
mo, ma am, the package isn't for you,
but this is returned the visitor, handing
her what appeared to be legal document.
The hostess looked at the paper in her
hand and then tainted. The Young man
who had caused the connection withdrew,
carving with him the bogus present that
had gained him admission to the house.
The guests tarried while, but their con-
gratulatiOns were turned to condolences,
the evenings enjoyment had been spoiled
and the reception did not last much longer.
Mrs Boeeer was giving the reception in
celebration of having received decree OF
divorce, annulling her marriage to Henry
BOegeT, ir. She returned the day before
from visit to Sioux Falls. s. D., where
she had been living for a few weeks for
the purpose Of obtaining so-called resi-
dence in order to secure a Dakota divorce.
She had also secured-at least, as she
thought-the custody of her only child,
Robert George Boeger, four years old.
1t was all to formally announce her
trilfnDh the bidding of her guests the
floral decorations and her gay attire. The
young man who served her with the legal
document, instead Of bearing her a gift,
was Isadore Silveunan, a clerk in the
office of Maurice Meyer, attorney at law.
The legal document was the summons ands
complaint in suit for separation and the
custody of Robert George, begun by her
husband in the supreme court of the State
of New York
When Mr.. Boeger was served with the
notice of Mrs. Boeger's suit for divorce at
Sioux Falls he was advised by Attorney
Meyer that the supreme court of this State
had decided that South Dakota divorces
were invalid in New York. Mr.. Boeger
therefore paid no attention to the notice,
but when his wife returned began his coun-
ter suit for separation. One of the law
yer's clerks had been refused admission to
serve the simm ons on the previous night,
so the ruse was planned New York Journal.

A STORY OF OPIUM

The guests of a certain very swell san
Francisco hotel have had ample food for
gossip furnished them by two young mar
ried women, who live there ia SuInptuUus
style. one of the young women is a near
relative OF a very wcllknown physician
ana the wife.of a man high up the social
ladder; the other has at least seven figures
between her and the ravenouS wolf. Both
have been prominent in society. Uncommon
with atl,cUSand other San Francisco women,
they have developed a taste for opium
Finding their hotel surroundings unSuited TO
uninterrupted indulgence in the pipe. they
recently rented a suite OF rooms in a down.
town lodging house, which they had re-
fitted in luxurious Oriental style. The wu-
man who managed tie house was easily
silenced by gold, and no suspicion OF the
amusements of the ladies' and at times q
few discreet friends or theirs, ever passed
beyond the walls Of the apartment
These debaHchcs were often extended
from one day to another, but, aS the
woman had many friends across th.,
bay, in Oakland or Alameda, their a bsCnCe
from the hotel awoke no suspicious. one
friend whispered the story of the down
town opium den, lin confidence 10 an

that half the guests OF the hotel are giving
the most exaggerated accounts Of the ar
fair, duplicating enough women to Till

other half denies enphaticaily any knowI-
edge of the 'disgracerul affair and in the
latter class the names of the two guilty
ones are especially conspicuous. I wonder

comes to them? 1t is more than probable
that they will prefer to look upon it as

"WHAT Is MANI"
The Subject of the Discourse OF
Rev. NJ. j. CraIner.

|
Rev. NJ. ]. Cramer, D. D., LII. D., the
/ brother-in-law of Gen. Grant, filled the
| pulpit at Metropolitan NJ E. Church last
night, the subject of his discourse being,
I what Is Man?'' The speaker said in
part:
Man was created a little lower than
the angels, or perhaps a more literal
translation OF the original text would be
Thou hast made him to lack q little
of God The early nations of the earth
had their traditions as to a previ GUS
golden age when man was Innocent and
had cOmmuned with God Unfortunately
he did not remain in the exalted position
that God had assigned him as ruler Of the
earth and all thereof, and in proportion
as he strayed from God, in the same pro-
portion did he lose the knowledge that God
had given him and his dominion over the
EARTH
To prove the Httleness of mans work
incoDtrast 10 the greatness of his Creators
Mr. Cramer compared the worlds most
famous structures with the Alps and
Niagara Falls. The short duration of
mans life was contTaSted with the millions
of years that geologists claim were spent
in the formation of the earth's strata and
of the countless ages it took to form GER
tain stafactites and stalagmites of water,
drop by drop.
And when we rem member," he contin-
ued, THAT there are worlds in the in
finity of space that if destroyed tonight
would reach us after a lapse of 10000
years, though travelling with incompatible
velocity, we can fashion some idea of the
stupendous immensity of our solar sys-
TEN and of the greatness of Gods work
compared to mans.
There are scientists who contend that
man is not an immediate product, but the
result of evolution, but one of the most
famous of modern scholars says that science
has never satisfactorily demonstrated its
assertion, and that until it can furnish
him with more tangible proof that he is
the result of evolution he is willing to
look upon God as his creator.
Man is the greatest structure God
has ever made. He Simply said to the
sun, Let there be light and there waA
light. But into man he breathed the
spirit OF eternal life.
MAN consists Of body, soul and spirit.
The mind and soul of man are made in
the image Of God. He is a lf-possessed,
self-deterinined being. with power to con-
vey his thoughts to others. He speaks
a language out OF which he has constructed
the arts, the sciences, architecture, poetry,
finance and Christian civilization. When
we look at modern man and his achieve
ments he looms up like demi-god but
he has not yet reached his climax. and
in proportion as he places himself in right
relation to God, he will stand where God |
placed him, and he viii understand the
earth and have dominion over it, as God |
intended when He created man.
