many books there is end. and much study is a
WEAKNESS to the flesh there no reason why
we should not rather enjoy the books already made

able WEAKNESS to the spirit OF others So In

voted fifty years OF his life the preparation and
delivery OF over n hundred lectures which embody
every important epoch of history with its specific
dramats persona. Its rationale, Its morale and Its
philosophy. you Will receive the enjoyment of study
without its WEAKNESS.

JOHN GRAHAM BROOKS DELIVERS THE LAST

OF HIS SOCIOLOGICAL LECTURES
John Graham Brooks delivered yesterday after
noon the last OF the sociological lectures which he
mas been giving every Monday and Friday before
the League for Political Education in the Berkeley
Lyceum. The subject was Some Plain Truths

the most part q resume OF the preceding ones.

than Adopting In the morning.
Every one, ne continued, had a very considerable
influence over limited circle. and by his char.
acter helped determine the complexion OF society,"
and the operation OF its laws. TO illustrate this ne
said that II We had continen, OF Emersons tho
law OF supply and demand would be a very different
thing from what 1t Is at present.
Speaking OF what he considered the most in,-
portan, OF all social reforms Mr. Brooks said that
II 1t were possible 10 make any such distinction. he
would say that the question on which al ones best
efforts should be concentrated that OF the child
II do not believe" he declared, that black slavery
more Of a stigma on its time than the
child industry is TO US. 1t Is this that produces
such terrible surplus Of unskilled labor, and
makes life hard for the unskilled labor already
existing and therefore IT helps to swell the ranks
OF the criminal and the tramp"
The lecturer also spoke OF municipal problems.
and the necessity OF solving them as preliminary
to other reforms. 1t was the fashion. he said to
maintain that many things in the way OF munict.

Dr. John Hall addressed audience OF women
In tho lecture-room OF his church yesterday morn
Ing on the subject Of Attacks on the Miracles"
Dr. Hall said that the attacks on the miracles
OF the New Testament began In Christ's own time.
but that these were not attacks OF denial. They
admitted the miracles. but attributed them to the
power of Beelzebub. and were therefore invalua-
bic testimony to their reality
The next came from the heather scholars OF the
early centuries. They did not deny them. either.
but said that as great things had been done by
Jupiter Juno and Apollo
Following this period there was little question on
the subject until the time Of Spinoza. Or. Hall
supposed that ladies did not know much about
Spnoza. and he does not think they lose much by
that, for Spnoza was pantheist and the Doctor
can uphold that doctrine. Spinoza did not deny the
miracles. but he explained away the divinity of
Christ.
Next arose the German rationalistic school and
ttue speaker ala not waste much time over them,
TOT ne said that raonalism was the most unreason-
able thing he knew Of
And finally In our own day" he concluded there
is class OF persons. not influential but noisy and
prominent who say they reject the miracles, but
accept Christianity. There is nothing In the way Of
reasonable argument for this view.
