GENERAL H. E. HARRINGTON.

General H. B. Darlington, a diStin- guished man, who is we'll remembered in this city and in Wallingford by many old friends, was to deliver the address Thursday at the commencement exer- cises of Shaw university, Raleigh, N. C., but he was unable to do so because the war department has ordered him into active service. Tn his letter of ex- planation he said: T know that your own people of proper age and physical fitness will render service in the spirit of true patriotism not surpassed by any. I know of what I write Your infantry and cavalry, already in the regular army, in spite of the exagger- ated reports of the misconduct of a few have proved themselves to be good SOL diers. I knew the Twenty-fifth regi- ment on the plains and it will do good service wherever engaged. Its gallant colonel, Andrew S. Burt, served in my own regiment, the Eighteenth, from 1861 until promoted, and his confidence in his men will stand the battle test as well as any,

instrument of proof as it is itself a thing to be proven, and a kind of haze is apt to hang about even it's most as sured personality and utterances.
 The whole point of view is shifted. changed from sovereignty to father hood, from transcendence to immi- hence, from the Hebraic to the Hellinc idea-a change which no doubt gets rid of many troublesome old time difficult ties, not to say absurdities of faith, but which involves temporarily, if not per- manently, for the occidental mind an obscuration of the divine personality and providences, and heightens the ob- stacles to the belief and habit of prayer
 Not only this pressure of a kind of fateful uniformity, but the development of high secularity and of the secular spirit creates peculiar difficulties for the modern preacher The suggestion will seem strange that this extended secular we'll being and this ambition for farther well being can form a dis advantage to the preacher. Is he not the first to rejoice and make use of all this? Does not all this immense gain in the worth of the temporal life give him larger scope and clothe his message with increased power? Certainly it would seem so, but the trouble is that the same secular movement which af- lords the preacher a wealth of facility and liberty also tends to overWhelm and suffocate him and his distinctive appeal to the soul.
 The true preacher of to-day will find in this secular movement and spirit, with all its splendid achievements for which we are grateful, one of the subtlest and most powerful obstacles as he goes to his fellow men with the ancient but still pertinent demand for repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ" with the pun gent appeal for new heart with the evangelic revelation of the worth of the soul and with the inspiring hope of eternal life. The real fact seems to be that in spite of conspicuous examples of high efficiency preaching in general relative to the advance of the commu- nifty in other directions has not main tained it's influence.
 Apart from the general considera- tions which might be extended, mod 9TH pIedCIililS HdS llle ueleCI or vague ness. On the great themes of the gos- pei, which, if Christianity has any spiritual function in the world are the preachers special province. Many preachers of to-day apparently have not made up their minds They are not clear. They speak with uncertain tone if they speak at all. The old theology is largely discredited. The new the ology has not completely formulated it. self.
 The people look at it curiously and critically and the preacher handles it in a doubtful way. The vagueness of religious experience reflects the vague ness of preaching. Both are character istie of the period which is one of dis turbanee and drifting. Connected with this vagueness, another defect of present

There is probably tendency to exag- gerate these difficulties in the case of the modern preacher, to magnify the disadvantages under which the gospel makes it's appeal to the society about us; and for the moment to lose sight of the elemental forces which have in the past, and which we are confi- dent will give it such dominion to a far greater extent in the future.
 The curious fact is that these dis advantages appear in our day to be largely the result of the attainment of many of the very things for which Christianity has in the past made some of its bravest, costliest and most per- sistent struggles. We are like a war rior who is somewhat demoralized by the peace he has secured. We are en- barrassed in certain directions by the fruits of our victories. We have not yet perfectly occupied the ground which we have won or become familiar with the facilities it affords for the better marshalling of the forces. We are not yet able to appropriate to the full and use in fresh spiritual advances the successes wrought by the swift ap- plication of our own principals in tenn poral directions.
 For example. Religious tolerance, which an eminent thinker of our time has declared to be the greatest achieve ment of the race in the last four hun- dred years and which is latent in the utterances of our Lord and His apos- , ties, to-day makes a good deal of tradi- l tional religious machinery and motive very ineffective. It introduces new atmosphere, and in the case of many people produces indifferences and takes away sharp conviction and enthusiasm. Scholarship, disclosing deeper com mon ground, undermines these differ ences of creed and of sect on which multitudes have been wont to stay their faith, and weakens or demolishes the argument drawn from these differ ences. Not merely one church, but all churches; not merely one neighborhood, but the world, form our congregation. We must regard not only our own point of view, but the point of view of our brother preacher over the way. The preacher often has to train and convert his own congregation to the larger view before he can make them convert any, body else.
 In like man1ier take the gain which has been made in respect to the church. es' conception of the scriptures. One great object of the Reformation was to set the Bible free from the misinter- pretation and hindrances imposed by ecclesiasticism and bring it directly in contact with the people.
 The movement begun and carried on by the Wicliffes and Tyndals is com pleting itself to-day in a kind of natu- ralizing the Bible, which makes the modern preachers task of handling it one of great difficulty and gives to Pro- testantism for the moment an air of apology and uncertainty. The Bible just now seems to be not so much an

day preaching is it's superficiality and it's lack of spiritual motive. It is not inclined to be serious or thorough or to appeal to man in his hopes and fears.
 It is painful to speak of another de- feet of present day preaching known somewhat crudely as sensationalism which may be defined as vain at tempt of the preacher to attract atten- tion and excite feeling by artificial, vulgar and extravagant methods and appeals. These defects seek to conceal themselves under loud advertising of pretensious and bizarre subjects, af- fectations of originality or profundity, the latent tricks and catch words, a meretricious style and plentiful dis play of melodramatics.
 To turn in another direction it is to be said that if our time presents pe- culiar obstacles and discloses peculiar defects in preaching they also afford special and magnificent opportunities for preaching. One increased oppor- tunity for preaching is afforded in the extraordinary openness and fexibility of our times. Society is in an unusual ly fluid state. Science and philosophy are breaking up old opinions and bring ing in new ones, defining here, enlarg- ing there; introducing novel concep- tions of matter, motion, spirit, man, the universe.
 Here, then is the changeless reason for the existence of our glorious call- ing. People sometimes talk as though with the advance of civilization the preacher of the gospel would be super seded Will the human souls hunger for the infinite God be superseded? It will grow more intense, it will more and more demand satisfaction. So that be- yond all it's difficulties which embarass us, beyond all it's defects, over which we grieve, present day preaching, like all true preaching that has gone before it, has still transcended opportunity in the yearning of the restless prodigal soul for a personal sympathetic guide to lead it back to it's Fathers house.

CAPTAIN BREWERS
 SQUADRON.
Captured an Italian Cutter on Fair
 Street Yesterday.

Captured an Italian Cutter on Fair
 Street Yesterday.
 Considerable excitement was caused on Collis street yesterday afternoon by an Italian cutting affray, which, how ever, did not result very seriously. It seems that John Esposito and Francis co Polino, cousins, became involved in a quarrel over domestic matters at Po- limos home 50 Collis street. A wordy warfare had been in progress for some time, when Esposito, growing incensed at some remarks of Polino, drew a huge knife and made a murderous lunge at the latter. Polino put up his hand to ward off the blow and received the thrust across the palm of the hand The palm was cut way across to the bone
 Esposito started out of the house and down the street on a run, followed by Polino and a crowd which took up the chase and pursued the fugitive to his home on Fair street.
 Policemen J. J. Flynn and R. T. Moore part of Captain Brewers squad ron which has been blockading Prindle street in the attempt to close up some of the places running there, saw the crowd collected on Fair street in front of Esposito's home, and learning the cause of the disturbance entered the house to arrest the man. Esposito's wife met the officers and told them that her husband was not at home. They began search, however, and finally Officer Flynn found Esposito hidden in ha hob i,,d haxy placed him under arrest and he was locked up at the central police station. He will be charged in the city court this morning with assault and carrying concealed weapons.

COLONEL BURPEE.
And His Visit to wasbine

II.
 Waterbury, May 14.-Colonel L. F. Burpee left this city this morning on the 10:50 train for Washington, to which place he had been summoned in conference by military authorities on Monday. In view of the situation it is thought that Colonel Burpee has gone to Washington to consult the war au.. thorities in reference to an individual appointment in some capacity, that upon the recommendation of men high in military circles Colonel Burpee's S worth has been recognized and in the failure of sending the Second to the front or giving it the chance to do ac- tive duty the colonel, who has volun- teered his services, has been chosen for some important position. His friends hope that this is so.

YALE MISSION BUILDING
4 s1O,oO0 STRUCTURE TO BE YEHx
 SOON ERECTED.

Progress of the Missions Work Which:
 is Conducted Solely by Christ1eMS
 Young Men of Yale University nIect-
 ings Now Held at 7s5 Grand Avenue,
 The Yale mission will, in the near! future, erect building of its own for the use of the Yale Y. M. c. A. in it's rapidly-increasing missionary work, the cost of which will be about 10000. It has not been definitely decided where the building will be located, but it will be in one of the down town districts where there is the most need of mis- sionary work. The title will be held in trust by the graduates advisory committee of the Yale Y. M. c. A, which has recently incorporated for the purpose of holding this property and the building used by the Shelf. '. M. c. A. at 138 College street.
 On account of the undesirable loca- tion of the present building on East street change has been thought necessary, and by way of experiment., a like work is now being conducted un- der the supervision of H. Bingham, '98, in store rented for the purpose at No. 785 Grand avenue. The detailed plans of the proposed building are not yet completed, but they will provide for the development of work along every line. Provision will be made for bath, read ing and game rooms, etc., and the building will, in fact, serve the purpose of Y. M. c. A. for the people of the district in which it is to be located. It is thought that the plans will be slb- mitted before the close of the present term. The funds for the building will be raised by subscription.
 The Yale mission work was begun in 1890. In that year a. mission house was opened on Grand avenue, near East street. In 1892 the quarters were mov- ed to an old three-story building on East street. Shortly after the lodging plan was started, by which plan who- ever applied at the mission for lodging received 1t and a breakfast in the morning at a very small price.
 During the past six years the work has steadily progressed under the management of W. M. Hess, '96, F. M. Gilbert, '9S, and D. B. Eddy, '98 It's object has always been, by holding at- tractive meetings, to furnish a place that will be attractive for men of that section of the city.

YALE DIVINITY STUDENTS
ANN UAL ADDRESS BY REV, DR.. MER-
 RIMAN OF WORCESTER, MASS.

Church Last Evening-Dificulties
 Defects and Opportunities of Present
 Day Preaching Pointed Out Very
 Clearly and Effectively,
 The annual address before the stu dents and especially the graduating class of the Yale university school was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Daniel Merri- man, pastor of Central Congregational church of Worcester, Mass, in Center church at 7:30 last evening. Despite the unfavorableness of the weather there was a very large audience pres ent. The members of the school occu- pied the front seats in the center of the church. Rev. Dr. Merriman's ad- dress was devoted in the main to point ing out the difficulties, defects and op- portunities of present day preaching. He spoke in part as follows:
 It seems appropriate for the occasion that has brought US together to point out some of the difficulties, defects and opportunities of present day preaching. Of course it is one of the common places of Christian experience that preaching has always been attended with difficulties. The hardness of the human heart is pretty constant quan- tity, while the gospel is a profound force of redemption. The world is an imperfect and naughty world of mixed good and evil Our Christianity pre- sents it a divine ideal. It follows that so far as preaching has been a true ut terance of the gospel it has met with more or less indifference, scepticism and opposition in every period. The fact that preachers themselves have already shared the imperfections of their fellows has certainly not decreas- ed the general apathy or hostility which has been felt towards their mes sage: besides this they have had to face the peculiar embarrassment aris- ine out of the condition and temper of every age. The religion of Christ is a militant, missionary, prophetic relig- ion pledged to universahty, and the preacher because he is always the &C., tive agent, the cutting edge, as it were, of Christianity, invariably carries a heavy responsibility and feels most keenly the weight of opposition. In the endeavor to meet effectively these varying antagonisms. homiletical con- tents and methods have come to reflect The cho~ @teristics of successful epochs The ,udes of preaching form a kird of epitome of church history.
