Smith TaIley, president or the State Coal

Southern Illinois miners are coming out

In this manner ten were arrested.
The train proceeded III this way fifty

Rev. ]. n. Beard preached the second of
a series OF sermons on "Social Probl ems"
st Grace NJ L. Church last evening. "The
Monopoly of Wealth and the Problem 1t
Presents to the Church, was his subject.
The speaker recapltulated the results of
the industrial revolution, of which he
had spoken week before. He enumer-
ated the advantages which come from
com bination in production; he declared
that it lowered prices, afforded better
statistical experience, justified the en-
ployment of an expert in each depart
ment and brought about economy of labor
through greater division of labor. In ad-
dition to these he enumerated as advap-
tages in dslrlbution the lowering of trans
portation and the better adaptation of
the means of production to-the needs OF
given field. Continuing, he said:
@OMBINATI0N, therefore, has its advan-
4 tages, and to denounce it blindly and in
~ Ill scrIminately is worse than folly.
But even under the best conditions the
purpose OF combination is not to benefit the
consumer, but to increase the profits OF the
producer 1t results in the concentration OF
wealth in the hands OF a few and often in con-
scienceless oppression.

need not alarm US, for We can afford to wait

have been proposed-publc ownership of
monopolies, which in some departments has
proved successful and which is the Droba BILE
luton, believe, in the cases of proved natur-
al monopolies; public commissions to inquire
into the affairs OF monopolies; uniform cor
poration laws; making pu bile the means by
which the wealth OF monopolles has been ac-
cumulated, and individual responsib ity
which viii prevent an individual from hiding
behind corporation.
Public ownership, so far as tried, has proven
successful. How far it can be extended IS the
question, and it depends upon the character
OF the civil service or pal government.
Where the public servants are trustworthy
pullic ownership succeeds, as. for example in
Civil service, which Is necessary before public
ownership succeeds, itself dependsupon public
sentiment and the attitude OF community.
Here, then, is the work of the church-to turn
the attention of its membe to this subject, to
remind them OF their duty 10 the municipality,
ana thus to take part in the molding OF
public opinion.
Dr. Beard then turned his attention to
the second division of his subject, the ac-
emulation of wealth. He recalled to his
hearers minds the TACT that three-tenths
OF one per ce Mt OF the people OF the United
States owned one-tifth OF all its wealth.
Public interest demands" he asserted,
"that the tendency toward the concentra-
lion of wealth in the hands of a few should
not continue. 1t should be the cnurch's
part to see that the Obligations of the rich
are enforced as strongly as those of the
poor"

LIGHTNING AND A BULLET.
Strange Circumstances Connected With
the Tragic Death of Alice
SQrreft

BOSTON, MASS, July 25-The startling
discovery was made to-day that Alice
Barrett, the bookkeeper for Goldman &
Goldman, who was supposed to have been
killed by a bolt of lightning yesterday
afternoon while at her duties at the real
estate office 40 Kilby street, was really
killed by bullet, which passed through
her heart. 1t was the strangest suicide on
record, the fatal shot and the lightning
coming so near together as to deceive the
police. Medical Examiner Stedman made
the discovery when he made the autopsy.
Although it is appar ntly suicide, there
are circumstances which lend very mys-
ferrous aspect to the case, and 1t may yet
prove a murder. A loaded pistol and
box of cartridges were found on the floor
near the body.
The peculiar, burnt, bloodless wound
was at first supposed to have been in
fcted by the lightning bolt which set fire
to the building. The fire was ex-
tinguished.
The woman's body was found lying face
down in the open doorway of the big safe.
Near The body was Miss Barrett's bank
book, showing that last fall $500 mad been
withdrawn from her savings OF $1,000. A
note was also found. which reads as fol-
lows: ut is my keenest regret that the
$500 drawn from the savings bank is gone
beyond rede N ption. 1t was invested at a
dead loss, and the person who has it is out
of the United States. The only thing re-
ceived from it was $40 interest deposited

in substance:

I \ titled, "About the Holy Bible" This
book says that Jehovah orders the sacri-
fee of babes, prohibits art and sanctions
polygamy, slavery and other evils. These
charges are erroneous. The first born in each
family was TO be given 10 the Lord, but not
sacrificed on an altar. This was never done or
allowed in Israel. Art was not prohibited
The "graven image" which was prohibited
was always an idol. The tabernacle, with its

The Philosophy Of Faith,
By DR.. Hughes.

The pulpit of Simpson NJ. E. Church
was filled last night by Rev. Matt s.
Hughes, D. D., pastor of the Wesley M. E.
Church at Minneapolis. He took for his
text Corinthians ii:5-7-"For we walk by
faith, not by sight" The theme of his
discourse was the philosophy of faith
and he said in substance:
~NE of the distinguishing characteristics
4 J OF Christian religion is that it has to do
~ so largely with the unseen. We live in
bodies supplied with organs called
senses. by which we are brought in close rela-
tlons with the tangible world. But when we
ask ourselves how we put ourselves in relation
with the intangible the answer is, "We walk
by faith, not by sight,
Religion is fashioned according to mans
nature and constitution. 1t is natural, while
every thing opposed TO religion is unnatural.
The Bible speaks to US in rather fami lar
terms. The question is asked, "Does the Bible
i'll speaking of faith speak of something we
do not know" Faith is a firm persuasion of
something which we cannot grasp with our
senses.
We are also full OF faith as to the truth of
past events recorded in history. The child
learning its letters has faith. Not step in
ACQUIRING an education can be taken without
1aith. We have to believe what Is told us.
Only by faith can we escape the limits of time
and space which bound our little lives. We
use faith in secular affairs and must use it In
the religious.
Faith has been aptly termed the sixth sense.
1t is the gateway TO knowledge. We must
learn 10 walk by faith with the same assurance

The Story Of Jonah
And the Whale.

DR.. W. W. Case defended the authen-
ticity of the biblical story of Jonah and
the whale in his evening sermon at How
ard Methodist Church yesterday. This
view OF the story is directly opposite to
that taken by Rev. William RAIDER of the
Third Congregational Church, who re-
CARDS the scriptural account s allegorical
DIR. Case adduced historical evidence
tending to establish the literal truth of
the much-debated story. He said:
r BELIEVE that evidence has proved the ac-
| count to be historically true, and not allie
4 gorical
The critics have even affirmed that there
never was any such place as the Ninevah de-
scribed in the Bible, but the researches of his
torians and arch8olog1sts within the past sixty
years have demonstrated almost conclusively
the fact OF its exis tence.
in view of this fact the burden of proof is
shifted upon the shoulders of the critics 10
disprove the historical basis of the Jonah
story.

DEBS AND 7HE c0AL STRIKE.
Has HOPES for a ReaHzatfon of HIS Doc
trjne That An Ii Dor Must Stand
or Fall Tooefher

WHEELING, w. Va, July 25.-Opera-
tors and la Dor leaders in the Monongahela
field agree that a crisis in the strike in
West Virginia is approaching, and to-
morrow will determine whether the dig
gers of Central West Virginia will give the
aid for which President Ratchford and
Debs have worked so long The operators
say that if the men can be induced to re-
turn TO work on Monday all is saved. In
the southern portion of the State the strike
has not materially affected any district
except the Norfolk and Western, which is
aim ost tied up.
Debs, accom- panied by President Mahon
OF the street railway organization, Will to-
morrow address a mass meeting of miners
here. An effort will be made to induce
him to remain for the NEE ing of labor
leaders Tue esday. The general under
standing is that Debs is about to attempt
concerted movement of all organized
la Dor in behalf OF the miners. With
handful OF Pullman strikers he effected
partial paralysis OF trade and traffic, and
it is argued tnaL in the strike of 100, 900 he
hopes for realization of his doctrine that
all labor must stand or fail together.
President Ratchford's recent statement
that active support from all organizations
will be sought at Tuesdays conference is
taken as confirmation of the alleged plans
of the leader OF Social Democracy"
INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July 25.-The
commissioners appointed by the Governor
to investigate the condition of the strik-
ing miners returned from the mining dis
tricts last night and will submit report
Tomorrow. They will point out specific
cases where aid should be given. 1t is de-
clared that a continuance of the strike for

The Church's Need
of the Holy Spirit,

Rev. Oliver C. Miller, pastor OF the
Church of the Holy Spirit, by special in
vitation preached in Simpson Memorial
M. E. Church yesterday morning. His
theme was Confession of sin and recep
tion OF the holy Spirit" and his text
"Create in me clean heart, o God, and
re new right spirit within me; cast me
not away from thy presence, ana take not
thy Holy Spirit from me-"
The speaker said in part:
THE church of to-day can have a real
Pentecos,al revival if she Will confess
4 and forkake her sin and receive the Holy
81 irit. To greVe away the Holy Spirit is
to be cast from the presence OF God, since it
Is he who shows US Christ and the Father. We
dare not expect conversions in the church be-
lore there be a thorough confession OF sin and
JOYFUL and full reception of the Holy Spirit.
The spirit has come to dwell in our hearts
as his temples not made with hands. Christ
has purchased these temples as well as our
souls, and they should be Welded up to him.
Our bodies must either be conformed unto the
carnai or transformed into the spiritual
temples OF the Holy Ghost The reception of
the Holy Ghost is not a matter of presence, but
OF fulfllment Of the condit on OF his reception.
Let US notice more closely the result OF the
withdrawal OF the spirit from the temple OF
our bodies. We are left without the seal of his
REDEEM ptior upon US, ard without acquaint-
ance with Christ, for it is he who takes of the
things OF our redeemer and shows them unto
us.
We have no one to reprove US of sin, and
there is no possibility of prevailing prayer
without him VINO helpeth our infirmities
Neither do we have an understanding of the
Bible. which, though it was produced by
many writers, has but one author, the Holy
Ghost; and he only. can reveal what he has
written. Without the indwelling OF the Holy
Spirit we are left comfortess, and without a
guide to lead Us in the way OF all ruth.
Neither have we joy; but are left to the mercy
OF our environments. Let US one and all open
our hearts to the Holy Ghost.
