DEVOTION TO THE CHURCH.

A Sermon Il DR.. Gum, of Brooklyn,
in So. Patrick's Church.
Rev. Dr. junn, of Brooklyn, preached
yesterday morning IA St. Patrick Is Church.
He took for ;is subject the devotional life
of the church, and said in part:
The devotions OF the church change
from age to age. The objects and prin-
ciples of the deyotions are always the
same, but rs each age has its special
difficulty in the Intellectual, SO each age
has It's special evil in the moral order, and
as the preaching of the church or the eX-
position of doctrine is faced against the
intellectual errors of the time and in
tended to destroy them, so the deyotions
OF the church are SUITED to the wants Of
the age, an1 intended to answer them.
I'm devotion, therefore, we must dis
tingush two things; the first, the object,
which is permanent, Interchangeable. divine,
since it be.augs to that deposit of faith
which our Lord gave tp the apostles and
commanded them to preserve intact; sec
ondly, the manner OF presenting the object
of that devotion, which varies from age to
age, according to the needs OF the time, and
in this yaria Die form OF devotion there has
been progress, development and evolution.
.'The church, shefeforc, like every or
ganism, has an element that does not
change. and by which she herself is one
and identical with herself at all times,
and variable element which is accom-
modated by the wants and necessities of
human nature and Varies from time to
time. AS You cannot give child the
meat of a strong man for food, neither
can you gi.e an uncihtured and uncivil-
ized age the same Spiritual food as is
necessary eor ali age that is highly
cultured. The devotion to the sacred
heart is an instance in point. 1t is as

cussad at the Meeting.
Mr. J. l.. Jackson read the prelimina-
ry paper at the Secular League yester-
day afternoon on 'Altruism and Evolu-
ton" He endeayored to show that
both the altruistic sentiment and prae-
teal benevolence are products of evo-
luton, and that this result is in certain
respects retarded by the church.
The president Mr.. Kirk, recited an
original poem, entitled, 'Bigotry.'
Gen. William Birney then delivered
the principal address on THE Uniform
ity of Divine Law" which was listened
to with great interest by those present.
The discussion which followed, and
which involved both papers, was open
ed by Mr.. III. ID. Cooling, who took ex
ception to the references made by the
first speaker to the Catholic Church.
In this contention he was sustained by
DIR. Croffut, who maintained that Prot
estants were equally reprehensible with
Catholics for sectarian prosecutions.
Mr.. Maurice Pechin defended Mr..
Jackson as being entitled to his opin-
ion and then discussed the paper of
Gen. Brney, in which discussion he
was followed by Messrs. William How

MIR. KEEP DISCUSSES POVERTY.
An Interesting Address Before the
Socialist Labor Party

Mr. Arthur Keep addressed the Wash

Party last evening, taking for his sub
ject, .'Will We Always Have Poverty"
The speaker addressed himself principal
ly to the theories of all who are opposed
to Socialism, and argued that they and
not the Socialists were the vision
aries" Their theories, he said, had long
since been exploded. and while they were
followed only served to spread and has
ten the advance Of poverty.

and is looking out for the present as
well as the future. and asks for more
than promises, which affect their condi-

arises from the fact that among the

Socrates. Plato, Buddha, Christ, 70

man being is essentially divine, reach
ing toward perfection in the order and
truth of nature. Vicarieus atonement
saves a man according TO preaching;
the individual effort to perfect charac-
ter works out his own salvation accord
ing to rational teaching. Only what
we have wrought in character in life
can be taken away. said Humboldt,
one of the greatest of teachers, who
taught also the persistence of force. the
conservation of all that the individual
had wrought and earned and the per-
petuity of an expanded area of con-
sciousnes thus wrought. This may be
heresy, but the minds of men are ac-
