from the principles Of evangellcal cnrist..

from the principles of evangelical Christi
enity.
Inis discussion, which has not ended Will,
1t is hoped, move some OF our Methodist
brethren TO seek clearer ideas than are now
common as to what constitutes Chris
tianty.
Dr. Corey evidently assumed that in the
question under discussion, viz: DO the
Churches Represent Cbristianity?' that
by Christianity was meant a religion as
set forth and illustrated in the teachings
and life of its founder, Jesus Christ This
appears in the following sentence, with
which Dr. Stitt took distinct issue. 'Chris-
tanity,'' said DR.. Corey, "has been III
volved with SO many doctrinal forms that
dogmatism, which is teaching by authority
and not by reason or the finer sensjbilities
OF men. has overlaid the truth and spirit Of
Jesus Christ
Christianity then, in DR.. Corey's estirna-
ton, is in brief, the truth and spirit OF
Jesus Christ" 1t is religion as H. taught
and lived it. Or. Corey spoke OF the historic
evolution. He should have said ''devolti-
tion,'' by which creeds have substituted
for tie living Christ, and the vital truths
OF Christianity have been swallowed up in
the organized church, with its zeal for
systems of theology, with a rage for num-
bers and the greed for commercial and
peculiarly success.
Anybody can make creed.'' said DR..
Corey. Il have as much right TO formu-
late my faith after my own fashion as
had the Council Of Nice to make creed
and force it upon me against the protest
of my better informed reason.
II believe lie added, that we can
constitute a better council today on the
essentials of Christian truth than was ever
assembled in the worlds history-a council
distinguished by ripper, sounder scholarship,
by u better apparatus of criticism and by
a truer apprehension OF the spirit Of Jesus
OF Nazareth
Then he boldly declares that he does not
believe that any OF the creeds of the day
the old Calvinism, unitariauismi, Roman
ism, Lutheranism or MethodIsm-truly rep
resent the spirit and principles of Christi
anity.
Romanism represents authority, but not
the kingdom OF Christ Professionalism is
so broken into fragments, so non-cohesive
in purpose and homeopathic in plan
that practically IL represents nothing
But while DR.. Corey denies that any Of
the churches truly represent the Christ
thought, purpose and spirit, he holds that
despite its lack, the church at large has In
its fold and service the best scholarship
and the best of humanity, and thereby has
been the greatest instrument OF human
progress.

AN OYERSTOCKED COUNTRY
DR.. Huntley's Views on the Subject
of Immigration.
The Eloquent Preacher Points Out
Some of the Objections Urged to
Present Immigration Laws.

Rev. Or. E. Huntley, pastor of Trinity
NJ. E Church, southeast. delivered an inter
estiag and forcible argument last evening
to large congregation
DR.. Huntley took his text from Acts, xvii,
26-27: land He hath made of one blood
all nations OF men for TO dwell on all the
face OF the earth, and hath determined the
time before appointed and the bounds Of
the habitation''
This text from st. Paul's address to the
Athenians was the basis for the subject OF
the discourse, Immigration
In the general discussion of the sub
ject DR.. Huntley touched on the single
tax. He said he was not sufficiently con
vers3nt with the question to discuss it,
but as a minister of the Gospel would
venture the statement that th time
will come when there win be a
resurrection and the people will rise
up and claim some of the broad acres OF
the land made by God for their use.
The tramp, tramp, tramp of American
workmen walking the streets OF American
cities begging for work was a disgrace
he said and something would have to be
done to bring relief.
This relief he was of the opinion could
be had by the shutting out of all imIni-
grants for period of at least twenty-five
years. He did not favor the present re-
striction on immigration, but believed it
should be stopped entirely for twenty-five
years, for 1T would take at least that time
for the country to digest the heterogeneous
mass of immigrants who now swarm the
country.
There is great diversity of opinion,
DR.. Huntley said, as to the ability of
mixed blocds. This statement he Illus
trated by the remark of John L. Sullivan
after one OF his fistic victories He was
only half-breed" Continuing, he said
that there were so many nations repre-
sented in American politics that it is high
time for the Christian church to call a
halt, at least for investigation The
speaker then adyerted to the causes which
induced such large influx of immigrants
to this country.
On the question of immigration, he said,
there has been great change of opinion.
This, however, SHOULD in NO way be
surprising. The conditions had changed
and it was only natural that the intelli-
gent minds should also change The
causes which drove people from Europe
were reversed In this country; there the
taxation was very high and the require
inents as to military service were severe In
this country the reverse was true. Another
great inducement was the opportunity for
offices. He also spoke OF the cheap rates
OF transportation and the assistance for
eign countries gave those who desired to
come.
In conclusion the preacher said that the
stopping Of immigration would be the
greatest blessing to the. countries from
which the immigrants came Ss well as to
the United States.

The FEAST OF ST. ALOYSIUS
Catholics Honor the Patron Saint
of Young Men.
Archbishop Martinelli Celebrates
Solemn High Mass-A Beautiful
PontificaI Procession.

The feast of st. Aloysius was celebrated
yesterday ut St Aloysius' Church with a
grand pontifical mass, solemnized by
| Archbishop Martnelli, the papal ablegate
| Every pew was occupied, and in the rear
| OF the church hundreds were compelled 30
stand. The ceremonies began at o'clock
with a pontifical procession that entered
the sanctuary led by acolytes attired in
white, with surplices of white lace. They
were followed by the deacons, subdeacons
and deacons OF honor, in cloth of gold
vestments, and finally by the archbishop,
in his rich rohes OF office and carrying a
croZier of gold.
With solemn tread they marched to-
ward the throne, canopied with red cloth,
upon which the archbishop took his seat
The usual fornalities of high mass were
then gone through with, Mgr. Martinelli
himself performing all therites andchanti1g
the mass. This was taken up by the choir
and the rich full notes from the organ
loft went reyerberating through the spac-
ious nave OF the church.
The story Of st. Aloysius is u most
beautiful one. He is the patron saint
youth when be died. Aloysius was the
son of the Marquis of Chaullion, and
member of one of the most distinguished
families in Spain. His father, man OF
great ambition, hoped for great things ON
the part of his son, and desi gned him for
martial life He spent his early years
in the service of the Dukes OF Florence and
of Mantua, that he mi ght acquire a mill
tarr nd rpiA -
such noble house. His mother, however,
was much opposed to his becoming a
soldier, but wished him to become a son
of the church, having intended Aloysius
for the service of God from the day of
his birth. The boy was already giving
splendid promise OF becoming valia 1t
warrior when the wishes of his mother
prevailed and after much solicitation ne
secured his fathers Consent to abandon
the life for which he was being prepared,
and at very early age was received
as novitiate into the Society OF Jesus,
more generally known as the "Order of
Jesuits''
Here bis piety and goodness showed fruit
at once, and he became one of the most
ardent workers of the order. When still
O youth terrible plague broke forth in
Rome and Aloysius was seen, day and
night, enGeavoring to succor the afflicted
until at last he himself succumbed to the
disease. BY special decree of the church
he was placed among the saints and be-
came the patron Of youth.
At Atthecloseofhigh mass Rev. Fa ther Han
nan, CT st. Paul's, delivered the pane
gyric of st. Aioysius. He related the story
OF the saints spotless life and exhorted
the young men OF the congregation to fol-
low the example of their patron and stand
aloof from the temptations which asssil
them on every side today. Low mass was
then celebrated, and vesper services held
at 7:30 p. m.
Archbishop Martinelli was assisted hy
Rev. Father Mckinney, s. j., as deacon;
Mr.. Byrnes, s. j., as subdeacon, and Rev.
Fathers Gillespie, Dolan and CoIgan, as
deacons of honor.

A PRINCE IN THE PULPIT.
Mar Elijah Desc ribes the Christian
Church In Assyria.

Mar Elijah, of the AsSyrian Church. occu-
pied the pulpit yesterday morning at the
Church OF the Incarnation, Rev. william
Taylor Snyder, rector. Mar Elijah is a
native prince of 0roomiah, 7 Persia, hut has
been studentfor the last four years at the
General Theological Seminaryin New York
city. He will finish his studies next year
and return TO become q deacon in the Holy
Catholic Church at Oroomiah, where a
church is in waiting for him.
His subject was: 1.-The Present Condition
of the Assynan Church,
He said that there are between 60 and
20 churches with membership of over
10000 persons, but the crying need is for
missionaries, and if in ten years America
does not go to the rescue Assyria viii once
more fall back into heather ways. He re-
ferTed to the condition Of Asyria at the
time of the coming of Christ, with its
simple, trusting love of the Redeemer
and the subsequent downfall through the
incubation of superstition.
''Until century ago there WERE"
he said, ''but twenty-five Bibles in the
whole land of Persia, but God in His
infinite mercy saw the mother church
as child dying in the desert of Arabia,
bians, and said to the Archbishop OF Canter-
bury, @Save the church of Assyriar and
the archbishop obeyed the summons and
sent missionaries TO see, to teach and give
light.
''All the churches of Assyria are built
In the form OF cross, and the door
ways are made purposely low, so that
TO enter one has to bend the whole
body. signifying submission to the win
OF God The altars are very beautiful,
the candles burning day in and day out,
but what they need is more Of the iignt
OF God Although the Persian govern
ment has taken under her protection AS
syrian Christians, we still live in fear
of the butchering Mohamm edan
'There are at the present time twenty
seven or thirty seininaries, and thirty
schools for the children, but they do rot
come anywhere near furnishing Christian
education for the numbers that apply for
admission
At the conclusion Of Mar Eliah's re-
marks, Mr Joseph Finkel sang 1.-The
Penitent." and the Eucharist was ceIe-
brated.
