HOW MAN HAPPENED.
Thomas Grimshaw Explains 1t to the
Spiritualists.

SpirituaIists.
MAN was the subject of a lecture at the
First Spiritual Church yesterday morning
by Thomas Grimshaw. In answering the
question, What is man. Mr.. Grimshaw
said that knowledge of the forces which
have been at work in the development of
cosmos is essential for proper understand
ing of man, because man is a part of cos
mos. Man, he said, is not a special crea-
ton. He supports the hypothesis that the
matter of the world once existed as nebula
originally thrown off from the sun. He
spoke of the growth of the globe. The laws
Of precipitation and condensation We're IN
exercise, and in obedience to this exercise
the mineral kingdom was formed. From
out the mineral kingdom sprang the Yege-
table kingdom, from the vegetable sprang
the animal and from the animal sprang the
human said he. when we speak or the
human we are not referring to man as you
know him, but to the primitive man, with
long arms and small legs. with enormous
stomach and very small mead, the man
whose thought was small like his head, who
lived in Il tree or cave, over the armament
of whose mind no ray of reason had shed It's
light Our theological brothers will quar-
rel with the eVolutionists; they declare that
it is contrary to the Scriptures, that man
did not ascend from lower orders, but THAT
he was created out of the dust OF the earth,
that God breathed into him the breath OF
life. They declare that he has fallen from
his high estate, and the whole scheme OF
Christianity is based upon an attempt to
reconcile this fallen creature to his Maker.
The evolutionist, he said, can smile at the
theoogian because he has facts on his side.
There is irrefutable evidence. he claimed
that man has not been an inhabitant OF TINS
world more than 1000 years. Man is a chlid
of nature Man is a soul clothed with a
body Through the body the soulman tinds

ible" asked he, that we are growing to-
ward perfection than that we have de-

church would not subscribe or contribute
as long as he remained, and that they could
not raise his salary, was a more important
factor in driving him away than my in
strumentality.
The session need have no fear of any
great dissatisfaction in the church. To all
who have expressed an intention to call for
their letters 1 have universally said that
their loyalty to the cause of Christ will be
best shown by remaining and faithfully
working for Him where devoted Christian
workers are so greatly needed.
| thank the numbers of friends who have
shown their loyalty and expressed their
sympathy for my family and myself in this
persecution, and assure them that the most
gratifying exhibition of these, and which
we will most heartily approve and esteem,
will be answering loyalty to the Master and
the church.

and not proven by the evidence. There was
a note, long past overdue, in payment for
which a receipt was shown in full of all
demands, demand ever having been
made for its payment, the payment of the
note having been construed by the session
as evidence of dishonesty. For having
dared to express opinions at variance with
the session l was condemned as disturb
er of the peace and harmony of the ses-
son.' 1t is needless to say that further
appeal is pending. G. r. LAYCOCK.

o. d. Ashley. president of the Wabash
lines, and his secretary Mr. Oterson, have
been spending several days in Boston, where
a larger interest in the Wabash is now held
than at any former period. In a CONVERSE
ton which is published in the Boston Adj
vertiser he is quoted as saying he was very
hopeful for the future, as are most Western
railroad men, and the foundation of the
bullish sentiment, he said is the prosperity
of the railroads throughout the country.
Taking his own road as an instance Mr..
Ashley said: '-As l am more intimately ac-
quainted with its condition and prospects.
we are at present not only doing the largest
business in the history of the road since its
reorganization in 1889, but a better business
even than expected to do sixty days
ago. We shall earn at least $500, 900 more
net this fiscal year than last year, and the
earnings for the six months ended Dec. 81
were the best, as | said before, since 1889.
While we paid per cent. on the debenture
A bonds in 1S90-9l-92, nothing in 1S94-95 and
l per cent. in 1896, and while we shall this
year earn a surplus sufficient to pay the
interest, it will not be the policy OF the
management to make such payment, as
there is floating debt which must be
cared for in the first place. The rate situa-
ton has been disturbing factor in the sue
ceSsful operations of most of our Western
roads, and l am glad TO be able to say that
the situation has changed for the better
lately. AT the present time the Western
roads depend almost wholly on the trans
portation of freight to pay their way, while
here in the East it is the passenger bust
ness which gives the profits TO the railroad
companies / anticipate that in the near
future the States of Ohio, Illinois and In
diana will have as dense a population as
Massachusetts, and when that time comes
roads such as the Wabash will be able to
pay their fixed charges and all subsequent
obligations including dividends on the last
dollar of common stock It Is common
fallacy that American railroads are over
burdened with bonded Indebtedness and ma
tured capital. At the present time the cap
itaIization of the railroad systems of the
United States is $62, 600 a mile, while in Eng
land it is $24O.000 mile, and yet in the lat
ter country there is returned anywhere
from 4 TO per cent on the capital invested.
AS the bulk of the business of English roads
comes from passenger traffic, it can easily
be figured how much greater a return our
American roads will make on smaller cap
italization as our country increases in popu-
latiOn."

Such is the simplicity and yet profundity
Of Christ's teachings. The meal is suscep-
