FIVE BUILDINGS BURNED.
With Inadequate Water Power, Firemen
Have Hard Struggle.

Have Hard Struggle.
Brunswick's firemen had hard work
for two hours last night, when with
totally insufficient water power, they
had to fight raging flames in a block
of frame buildings.
Five buildings on Albany street, be-
tween Howe and George, were totally
destroyed between Z and O'Clock
Four of these buildings, one of which
was two stories, were occupied by me-
groes. The corner building was occu-
pied by Mrs. S. Frederick as store
and residence.
Two of the buildings were owned by
H. Fl. Harvey, two by the negro occu-
pants and the store building by w. M.
Upper. The flames spread with re-
markable rapidlty, and the firemen
had great difficulty in saving the
other buildings on the same and ad-
joining blocks.
The water power was miserably
poor, and the firemen could scarcely
manage to throw stream on the
burning houses. One of the most
venturesome, Kenny Hardy, advanced
too close to the fire and was painfully
burned. He was taken to headquar-
tiers, where DIR. j. A, Butts attended
him. His injuries are not believed to
be serious.
The loss will aggregate $4,000, partly
covered by insurance.

ligaon are its chaos of ideas its sacred
otalism and its ritualism. Since its be.
ginning antedates authentic history II
has had opportunity to come In contact
with all other religions and from them
has received numerous doctrines, ana
accepted gods whose number now ex-
ceeds three hundred million. Because
of this omniverous tendency its general
condition has become unsystemat1c even
to chaos. Stin more prominent is the
exaltation of the priestly office. The
sum OF sacredOtalism in all religions Tor
all time probably would not equal that
OF this one religion. Indeed. the priests
are of more Importance than the gods
themselves. From this root springs the
greatest system of caste the world has
ever known, man and man being sep
arated from each other by an almost
measureleSS difference. Further, We
are astonished at the magnitude of its
ritual. Piety appears to run rampant.
Its subjects are born religiously, marry
religiously, die religiously. They eat,
they drink. they wake, they sleep re-
ligiously. In outward appearance they
are the most religious people in the
world.
Grades of caste are attained by the
observance of rites or asceticism, there
fore the stupendous piety. Piety usurps
the place of morality and men con-
stantly mediate on the adorable light
OF the divine ruler" that 1t may guide
their intellects. Righteousness be-
comes secondary matter and the sense
of sin is obliterated. All reward consists
In nearness to universal spirit. All life
apart from such spirit is punishment
To the Brahmanical Hindoo no idea is
more distressing than that of being re-
born into the physical world, according
to his idea of transmigration. Worldly
existence to him is hell and such life
not worth living. His Immortality is ex-
istence as a part of divine spirit, con-
dition it may be said only less undesir-
able than separate existence in an

UNITY CHURCH
Comparison Of John the Baptls, with Jesus
Ckrlsf

The pastor, j. S. Thomson, preached
sermon on the question, "Why did Jesus
the Christ forsake John the Baptist 90
using the text: There is not a greater
prophet than John the Baptist; but ne
that is least in the kingdom of God is
greater than he" Luke vii:2S.
John the Baptist was the son of a
priest, and his mother belonged to the
priestly tribe. He was brought up in
the atmosphere of the rites, ceremonies
and religion of the temple. lie aban-
doned his fathers ceremonial religion
and inherited beliefs and lived in the
wilderness. He began his public min
istry in the neighborhood of the Es-
senes, and he preached their gospel On
the banks of the jordan. He was as
primitive in his dress and food as Elijah.
He attracted mutitudes that were tired
of conventional religion and convention
al slIepticism. His gospel was fresh.
moral, stoical, direct, and his conduct
illustrated his religion. Jesus was one
of his disciples and he received baptisn
from John; and John discerned spiritual
power and promise in Jesus. But Jesus
left John after his baptism. John did
not follow Jesus. Jesus afterwards
avoided the places where John was
preaching In the first four chapters of
St Johns gospel we learn that Jesus
had taught, preached and performed
miracles before John was imprisoned by
Herod; and it is not written that Jesus
visited John in prison. If John believed
that Jesus was the Messiah, or the Son
of God, or God himself, why did h. not
follow Jesus? Why Gid they separate?

EVANGELIST VARLEf
At Peniel Hall and the Y. n. c. A. Yesterday
Afternoon

Peniel hall was taxed to its full seating
capacity yesterday afternoon by the
audience that assembled to hear Evan
gelist Henry Varley's lecture.
The speaker took his text from the
first epistle of John w., 10, Mr.. Varley
said, in part: Divine love is very diff
ferent from human love. although they
are liable to be mistaken. Human love
is often impure and prompted by base
motives, but divine love is the outpour-
ing of Gods spirit toward his disobedi-
ent servants. Christ's love for his sin
ming brethren and sisters was beauit-
fully shown in his treatment of the
woman of Samaria and when he said:
GO, and sin no more"
Now, through the love of Christ, it is
possible for sinners to accept him, to
come into the kingdom, and, with the
knowledge of his suffering, to say that
the penalty for their wrong doing has
been paid by a substitute, who is Jesus.
The evangelist closed his remarks by
eXhorting those who were yet unsaved
to come into a knowledge of Christ, and
encouraged those who had already ac-
cepted him to remain faithful and follow
his guidance in all things.
Immediately after the close of the SER
vice at Penel hall Mr.. Varley proceeded
to the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, on South
Broadway, where he addressed another
large assemblage of men only.
He spoke earnestly of the snares which
We're laid in the paths of young men,
and urged all his hearers to lead pure
and moral lives as the only way to true
happiness

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
DR.. Fowler Considers Mans obligations to
the supreme Being

Rev Dr. Fowler's theme in the morn
ing at Y. NJ. c. A. hall was, Robbing
God. Taking for the text the question,
Mat. ills, will a man rob God?" and
saying in part:
Does anyone doubt it? Cast the eye
outward, turn it inward and we are
promptly forced to testify les, man will
rob God.
And yet the question is not asked for
information. The inquisitor is the party
who suffers and he knows he is robbed
The query is one of astonishment. Its
divine author seems TO struggle in vain
to mount the summit of the marvel.
The city of New York, though great,
was for years unable to bring her great
boss thief to justice. But the human
felon has no such advantage when acting
the thief toward God. Satan, who sought
to Wrest Gods kingdom from him is
reserved to the judgment of the great
day Verify. in the face of such an un
equal contest it might well be asked,
"Will a man rob God?''
Men do not appreciate Gods labors
and gifts in their behalf. Their bread.
their health, their family joys. are all
His gifts. If the mind notes them the
heart does not. Is this, then, a mild
fault? 1t is sin. 1t is withholding the
love and praise which are Gods cue The
meager companies found in the churches
of this land ON Thanksgiving day testify
how Shamefully as nation We do rob
God while bowing at the altar of this
worlds 5 mammon
And in this matter of time, what thiev
ing does man variously do. God at Sinai
calls for one-seVenth of our time. Even
at creation God blessed the Sabbath day
and haliowed it. 1t was counted sacred
time, in which to think Gods thoughts
not our oWn-a boon to man, designed for
his bodily and moral good.
But most prominent of all in the mind
of the Lord is mans robbery in tithes
and offerings. The Israelites We're up
braided pre-eminently for this. They had
withheld that portion of their increase
which God called His own. He calls
it robbery and He viii not withdraw his
claim. That tithe of the old dispensa-
ton is certainly criterion for our own.
We are not to give at hap-hazard but
with system. If, under an obligation to
an earthly friend, we would study to
know what was fair return. In this
brighter gospel day we are under obli
cation as the Jews never We're. Less
than their standard of return to God
We ought not to consider. But multitudes
today are repeating Israeps sin. They
are spending on themselves and with
holding from the giver. and mission
boards are in debt and the Lords work
dragging.
Let love crowd out selfshness and the
tithes flow into the Lords treasury and
prove now as of old what blessings God
can give.
