The Very Rev. Dean Duffy. rector Of st.
Clements Episcopal Church. Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Brooklyn, preached n sermon yesterday
morning in which he referred to the sermons
preached by the Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott OF
Lyman Abbotts Bad Theology" In recalling .
recent sermon that tho Plymouth pastor had
preached. the Dean said:
when this gentleman, Who provokes moro
thought than my other preacher In New York,
misrepresents, unintentivnally, no doubt, the
great Apostle Of the Gentiles, when his discus-
sions bristlc with error. and the name Of his
inaccuracies Is legion; when, with what In char
ity we call purblind mentality, he becomes 20
enamored of his own theories that he views
with obiquo vision the meaning Of the Apostle.
and invests q part OF the truth with a halo Of
his own phantasies, the iridescence from which
renders tho othor part opaque to the wearied
mental eye. and especially when our own
Church. the honored guardian OF tho oracles
Of God, 10 compassionated for holding and teach
ing primitive Christianity, 1t may be we'll to
point out to you. my brethren, that this latter
day seer Of lopsided theology is not safe guide
for church people In these perilous times when
the very supreme lights Of higher criticism are
"The learned doctor holds. IL he is correctly
reported, that nothing external to man Ia Of tho
essence OF religion. NO order OF priesthood, no
temple. no church service, no form OF worship,
no baptism. no Lords supper. no Sabbath dayl
In other words. DIR. Abbott plainly asserts that
st. Paul teaches. first, thore is no Sabbath day
which worship should be offered to God; 500
ondly that there Is no sacrifice to be offered. and
no order of priesthood by which such sacrifice
can be made: thirdly, that there is no sacrament
as a means through which grace comes to the
soul; fourthly. that there is place and no form
in and by which the priest can administer tho
sacrament or offer the sacrifice"
Dean DUFFY contended that there was a sacri.
fec, a Sabbath day and n priesthood, and that
DR.. Abbott's theory that preachers were not or.
dained in present days the prophets of old
was not true. In conclusion Dean Duffy said
that DIR. Abbott was wrong in denying that there
existed an external essence OF religion to man.
ternal principles and external environments"
He also said that DIR. Abbott's view OF religion
YVES faulty and incomplete. and his representa-
tion of st. Paul was untrue and without any
warranty from either Scriptural or human rea-
son.

MARTIAL LAWS INsPAIx.

Madrid, May 13.-There was serious
rioting in Liuares, thirty three miles
from Jaen, yesterday. The mob as
sernbled in front of the town hall and
finding the doors locked tore out the
windows, ransacked the buildings and
threw everything movable into the
streets. The civil guards interviewed
and a desperate struggle followed in
the passages of the building. The
rioters were finally driven out by the
civil guards, who frequently fired into
the mob. Some of the rioters procur-
ed guns and returned the fire. -Four
teen persons are said to have been kill
ed and about sixty wounded. The To-
enough to cope with the distur bauce
and reinforcemeuts of troops have
been asked for.
London, May ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Hong Kong says
communication from Manila asserts
that the Spaniards are still arrogant
and not likely to surrender until the
city is blown to pieces.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Seville and Sargossa and will be grad
ual1y extended throughout the coun-
try. The most significant fact of the
present moment i that the military
party is beg inuing to use its undoubt-
ed strength. General La Chambera

of independent politics.
At future meetings they will invite
the cooperation of naval members of
the Cortes, considering that there is d
community of interests between the

new development foreshadows a ser
ious factor which any future minis
ter will be compelled to consider"

saS, had won the interstate oratorica1
contest which was held at that place

ing the school yell. The other states
represented in the contest ranked as
follows: Illinois, second; Wisconsin,
third; Iowa, fourth; Missouri, fifth.
The decision giving Kansas first is

orphan at infancy, he was reared at
the Soldiers Orphan Home at Atchi-

ed. The last two years he spent at
the State Normal, from which he will
be graduated next month.
Mr.. ST. Clair was escorted to Illinois
by delegation of forty-three students.

organizations, the Eurydice and Or
pheus clubs. The former ladies' or
won much applause by
song entitled '.Going TO Illinois with a
