tions that believe in. instantaneous con-
: version that might have been expected

that Mrs. Stanford will be called upon by
the moral sentiment of the State and of

:. A Angeles, said that Professor Jordan sis
assuming "a: .weighty responsibility in
Questioning the: sanity of many of the
leading jurists,.@ historians, scholars and
scien fists of tim es.?'.'
- DIR. Jordan was asked last evening to-
speak for, himself concerning his own ut
:, terance, as it was reported in the papers
yesterday. morning. He said:.
: 1.-The marking. question is a casual refer
ence in relation to maintaining a sober
mind in the affairs of life, The kind OF
religious rev@va1 referred to is not Ieglti-
mate awakening of religion, showing
itself in the desire to lead: better, more
. devout :. and = more helnful lives. The
reference: was to the emotional hysteria
some times cultivated: by professional re-
viyaEsts and which IS in its essence a dis
arrangenent of the. nervous system, a
kind of ind eed mania which very often
develops into absolute craziness. This
has no more:relation to religion than the

of the nature of madness. The person who

Methodist Church wrote and signed

utterance: :;

| these words of President Jordan, but dc
Hot wish to enter into a controversy with
him upon general declaration like this,
made without any reference 10 myself OF
my work; but it seems strange. doesn't it,
that member of the Congregational
| church, which believes in revivals, and oi
course in instantaneous conversions,
should make declar alton like that?
II can readily believe, however, that
DR.. Jordan made the statement you have
just read to me. When man denies the
validity of the atonement and sneers at
miracles as President Jordan has done,
we should not doubt the correctness of
any report which represents him as
promulgating agnostic ideas. He is
at the head of a great and pop
ular institution, and, as l said be,
fore, do not desire a controversy with
him. The patron of that school, Mrs.
Leland Stanford, is warmly devoted to its
welfare, and she is a true friend of myself
and wife and has been for many years.
She and Governor Slanf ford attended my
church in Washington for many years.
But reg arding my views of revivals and of
instantaneous conversions, l say that l
firmly and steadfastly believe in what
is understood as revivals of religio n
i'll the evangelical church. 1 believe in a
progressive and instantaneous conversion,
and so do thousands OF the ablest men in
all parts OF the civilized world-men as
eminent in science and literature as in
religion. Ii President Jordan wishes TO
question the sanity of many of the leading
jurists, historians, scholars and scientists
OF all times and in all countries-why that
is his affair, but it is weIghty respon-
sibility, it seen to me.
According to my view the acceptance
OF the Christian religion and the unfold
ment of the Christian life is eminently
the act of sane mind. How can a con-
version 10 religion which contem plates the
betterment of the individual in every
walk OF life be construed into insanity?
surely. No. l cannot doubt for d moment
that the man with the noblest, best and
purest motives is likewise sane in the
highest and most exalted sense. Far from
agreeing with DR.. Jordan, L want to re-
mind him that the insanity of mankind
touching this question is portrayed by the
infidel and agnostic. The reformations of
Luther and Wesley mark eras in the
worlds history, so attested by the ablest
historians the world has ever seen."
Bishop Newman inclines TO the opinion
that these expressions of agnosticisin by
President Jordan are the direct result of
his training at Cornell University under
the guidance of President Andrew White.
The Bishop regards President White as
an aguostlc-a kind of yelled un nbeliever-
and Jordan is slowly and gradually pro-
mitigating President Whites peculiar ten
cts. The Bishop said that prior to Jor-
dams visit to Cornell he was apparently
devoted to the cause of the evangelical
church as praoticed by the Congregational
church.

! signed the following as his comment upon
Professor Jordan's address:
81 do not understand DR.. Jordan to
characterize all revivals as religious dissi-
patton and spiritual drunke nness. There
have been enthusiasm, excesses and fanati-
clsm which have masqueraded under the
garb Of religion, but religion and genuine
revivals of religion are no more response
BILE for these vaearies and follies than they
are for the ghost dances of the Piutes or
the orgies of Mrs. Woodworth's followers.
That there are weak and shallow souls
who. instead of buying their excitement
at the cigar-stand, the whisky saloon and
the opium joint. get it for nothing at the
camp-meeting, is doubtless true. But in a
ministry of twenty-five years 1 have been
in many revivals of religion which were
characterized by reformations in life and
transformations in character, and in none
OF these have l ever seen the scenes which
DR.. Jordan describes, where men and
women lose their reason and self.control.
'Macauley, Green and other historians
agree that the Wesleyan movement in
England, which was simply a widespread
revival OF religion, exercised q most
salutary influence upon private virtue
and public morality in England and saved
the state church from spiritual decay.
And l suppose that DR.. jordan will ac-
knowledge that the work which Mr..
Moody has been doing for the last twenty
years on two contiuents-a work which
has been entirely unmarried by wildf1re
and fanaticism-has been great and in
calculable blessing to the world.
'E. K. Ollie, d. D."
The Rev. II. A. Ketchum OF the First
Presbyterian Church said that President
Jordan had set up a man of straw and
knocked it over.
Religious excitement that amounts to
intoxication is not upheld by any one,"
said DR.. Ketchum.
but certainly proper degree OF excite
ment is desirable, at least an awakening
of Christian spirit, 50 that men may be d Is
posed to appreciate. their own position
and the supreme importance of religious
matters. This is all the reyivalism that
any one ever advocates, and it never did
any harm on earth.
MANY of the greatest and most success
full revivalists of history have cond ucted
their services without any undue excite
ment. There was an immense revival on
the day OF Pentecost, but there was no in
sanity or intoIication."
The Christian ministers did not meet
yesterday, but in speaking of DR.. Jordan's
ideas on revival meetings Rev. DIR. Francis
S. Ford of the First Christian Church OF
this City said:
"On the whole l think 1 agree with Dr.
Jordan. Revival meetings, that is, the
sensational ones, you know, are a species
of moral drunkenness, and l think it i'm
possible for one to undergo such COM
plete change of character and thought in
the short space OF an hour or so, and just the
same effects can De made on the same
subjects Dy the simple use of little hyp-
notlsm. Why, l have actually known
people to go into frances and stay there
for hours, the results of sensational re-
vival meeting, and think DR.. Jordan
knows whereof he speaks, and l must
sincerely agree with him."

weeks ago he heard that she was not act
ing right, and asked the Society for the
prevention OF Cruelty to Children for as
s'stance IN protecting his child.
Robert Weincke, bookkeeper of the
Golden West Hotel, testified that on the
list OF last month at about 80 O'Clock in
the morning he was aroused by q noise
Mr.. Weyle breaking in the transom of
Mrs. Weyle's room. Weyle called
WelncSe to bear witness that there was
man in his wife's room. The door was
opened, and sure enough there was man
IN the room, but he had on his hat and
overcoat ana walked out of the house.
Ernest Weyle corroborated the story
about breaking in the transom and find
ing In the room man from the town of
Jackson. He said he only wanted to de-.
mand an explanation, but was too angry
to listen to anything that was said to
him. He appeared to have been satisfied
subsequently, however. as he and his wife
are again living together.
lis il the custom for the gentlemen of
Jackson to call Oh their lady friends at
half-past in the morning?" asked Attor-
ney Tauzsky.
Judge Cook thought that the social Gus
toms OF Jackson were lmmaterial so far
as the present case was concerned.
Attorney Arson Hilton represented the
l..
j. Butts. They took turns about in grill
ing Sharon, the former husband of Mrs.
Weyle. Sharon's action in taking his
former wife to live with him without the
formality of remarriase was commented
on with severity
Frank E. Sharon, brother of the child's
father, was allowed TO testify in his own
defense on the accusation that he had
used undue force to get possession Of the
child. He said tn at he did nothing more
than help hold her while the officers took
the little one from the room.
When asked why he thought Mrs.Wevle
was an unit and dangerous person to
have the custody OF the little girl he re-
ferred to what he had heard about her re-
cent acts aud added that she had threat
ened to kill herself and the child if the
little one should ever be taken from her.
This latter remark pleased Mrs. Weyle's
attorneys, as they thought it but m mani,
testation OF her love for her offspring.
Judge Cook said that there was some
testimony before the court that by INFER
ence could be held to show that Mrs,
Weyle had been indiscreet, to say the
least, but the incident at the Golden West
had not demonstrated any guilt on her
part So far as her living with her former
husband in this City after they had been
divorced, and without a remarriage, tn at
could not be held against her with any
greater force than against the father of the
child. In this regard both were equally
blameworthy. The court might award
the custody of the child to third party,
but when the little one was OF such ten
der age he would hold that the m other
was the proper custodian, no matter what
the mother might have done.
.BalliH Samuel Shear is gray-haired and
venerable, and he seemed to enjoy carry
ing out the courts order, as with face
beaming with benevolence he restored the
baby to its mothers arms.
Then there was more weeping, but this
time 1t was for joy, as with kisses and
caresses Mrs WeyIe carried her little one
from the courtroom:
