Newport yesterday in the Squib and

the meeting was concerning new cup

Mr.. Duryea was seen at his cottage
late last evening. He said he could not
talk of the meeting with Capt Herre-
shoff. In the course of the conversa-
ton. however, he stated that as soon as
he had anything definite he would be
glad to give II out, which would seem
to indicate that matters OF some public
interest were being considered.
Mr.. Whitney could not be FOUND at
home last night. Several prominent
members OF the New York Yacht club
have expressed themselves as pleased
that these gentlemen have taken hold
of the matter. and especially that MT

CHRISTIANITY.
Sermon on lis Foundation BY Rev.
DR.. Stims0n.


The pulpit of the Union Congrega-
tionai church was occupied last even
ing by Rev. Ii. A. Stimson. ID. d., OF
the Manhattan Congregational church'
New York city, who preached upon the
foundation OF Christianity, taking as
his text Acts iv., IL. DR.. Stimson' IN
substance, said that the four Gospels
of the New Testament are the record OF
the times. and IL is upon the stories
told by the writer's of these Gospels
that Christianity is founded.
The New Testament is made up OK
many fragmentary manuscripts. In the
University OF Cambridge Is an old
Greek manuscript OF the New Tesla
ment which belongs to the sixth CEN
tury. The book of the Acts of this
manuscript compared with that as we
know it, shows some very curious diff
ferences, omissions and additions which
cannot be accounted for by the mis-
takes of copyists. This seems 10 snow
that there were several writer's con-
cerned. Scholars have carefully studied
these minute differences and have ar
rived at some interesting conclusions.
The Gospel OF Luke and the Acts are
supposed to have been written by the
same person. The only opportunity
that Luke had to investigate into the
life of Jesus was when he went with
Paul to Jerusalem at the time of PauPs
arrest.
The manuscript of the Acts at Cam
bridge is surmised to be this story or
Luke, written for the use of the church
at Rome, while that which we have Is
the earlier production, and there are
many combinations of this theory. AS
we read, we find men in the Acts ana
Epistles bearing unqualified testimony
TO the reality Of a new life into wnich
they have entered. Here is whole
group of men In many communities
standing up and stating the truth OF
this personal change. They were wit
nesses of the changes in their own
souls. Paul, for example, bears that
testimony. He never exalts himself,
but is always pointing out himself as
an example to follow. The testimony
Is given by men in all classes, until the
great spectacle OF the world rushing to
| baptism Is seen. Christians are men
who know Jesus Christ, and SO the In
| evitable result follows-men know one
| another. They become Ambassadors
| of reconciliation" So the brotherhood
| of man, which is to be the redemption
| of society was an idea realized at the
| very beginning of the Christian faith.
| All of these things. carefully studied
show beyond all dispute the wonderful
| change that was brought about through
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. and tn
story of Christianity from that day Z
this can be clearly followed. You hav
no reason to disbelieve Christianity 70
there is the testimony. There is n
longer room for doubt. The time ha
come when each man should seek 70
the change of heart which renders hir
a true Christian.

London, April 1S.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of The Daily Telegraph
telegraphs: THE greatest enthusiasm
is manifested everywhere among the
people, who are subscribing even more
than they can afford to the funds for
the national defense. I am acquainted
with families who intend to deprive
themselves of one meal day in order
to give their mite to the government.
Boys under age are asking permission
to serve in the army, their parents
having already consented. Some pop
ular bull fighters, whose performances
are worth hundreds of thousands of
francs yearly, have resolved to aban-
don their vocation and to shoulder
rifles in defense of the fatherland. I
have had a long and interesting con-
versation with a diplomatic representa-
tive of one Of the European powers
who requested me not to mention his
name and nationality-who said:
"'Although war seems certain, the
possibility of peace is not yet elmi-
mated. The negotiations are proceed
ing without interruption, and success
is still possible. Personally must say
l believe it will be very difficult to
maintain peace. sThe idea of armed
Intervention by Europe is absurd and
unfounded. Not one power is disposed
to support such suggestion, although
all admit that from the point of view
of international law Spain is in the
right and the United States in the
wrong"
