"The rhetorical View of Religion. 81

At the meeting of the Unitarian club in
Boston last week THE Historical View of
Religion" was discussed by Rev. Mr.
Crothers, who seized the occasion to give
Rev. B. Fay Mills sharp thrust when he
said: 81 think we make mistake when
we go about talking of a new religion.
The old is sufficient in itself for u.s." He
also declared that "the tendency of all Sc
rious historic study is to show that the
churches which insist on liberty and rea-
son in religion are in the main historic
stream. Our work is to understand the
historic dignity and significance of those
religious forces TO which we yield and
those religious methods which we inherit.
Not only does serious history, by open
ing up vaster periods of time, dwarf the
claims of Jealous churchmen to ecclesasti-
cism and antiquity, but its more critical
methods discredit all exclusive claims.
The trouble with a great deal of church
history is that 1t is not really historical.
Whence comes our Unitarian type of re-
ligion? When we stand for a religion
that grows out of personal experience, we
stand for the oldest, and also the most per-
manent religion. II the soul has now d.
rect access TO God, it has always had it,
and that is the supreme historic fact in re-
gard to religion. When we struggle for
larger liberty for the soul, we are comrades
of Claiming, of Hampden, of Luther, of
Paul aud of the prophets"

Mysterious Disappearance of Warren

about 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and all
efforts which have been made since then
to locate his whereabouts have been I'M
successful Young Head went away from
the house giving his parents the impress

no overcoat nor bundle of any kind when
he left, but it was afterwards found that

went there Tuesday in search of him. He
could not be found, however, and it is now

Weare will be likely to take the first
consignment OF lAzs this year to st.
Michael. They are now with the Vic
toria and ST. Michael in the ice near
Circle City. When the river opens the
Bella and Weare will go to Fort Ham

COLLEGE PRANK SERIOUS.

Cutting Scrape.

Cutting Scrape.
Ann Arbor Mich, May For the
past two weeks the members OF the
freshmen and sophomore classes have
been engaged in a good natured rivalry
to see which could cut the most hair of
the heads Of their rival classmates.
Twenty-Five victims have already sue
cumbed, but affairs took serious turn
in the morning about o'clock, when
a student Of the freshman law class,
who was returning home, was set upon
by a crowd Of hair cutters.
The crowd demanded to know what
class he belonged to. He was scared
and took to his heels without replying.
The crowd chased him, when suddenly
he turned and fired five shots from
revolver into the pursuers. One shot
took effect in the right arm of stu
dent of the sophomore literary class.
The wound was apparently not serious,
but the bullet has not yet been found.
Friends Of the injured man immedi-
ately hustled him out Of the way and
every effort has been made to keep his
name away from the faculty or the
university. That body had determined
to put a stop to all sky-larking. ana
had warned the under-classmen that
any one caught cutting hair would be
expelled. The man who did the shoot
ing has not been found.

NO NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Nothing of an Official Nature Concerning
Commodore Dewey.

Commodore Dewey.
Washington, May THE fifth day
since the battle of Manila opens with
out bringing the slightest trace of news
of that engagement from any official
source to the navy department. The
state department was in equal ignor-
ance, Notwithstanding the fact that it
had taken steps to receive the earliest
information that might reach Hong
Kong, through Mr.. Wildman, the Unit
ed States consul at thatSpoint. There
is no apprehension expressed, however
as to the safety of the American fleet
at Manila, though there is a dawning
suspicion that Commodore Dewey was
not able to subdue the forts at Corre-
gidor island and the defenses of Manila
proper Immediately.
From the meager reports received
from Manila before the interruption Of
cable communication IL was not made
quite clear that the Spanish forts at
Cavite were forced to surrender imme-
diately succeeding the naval engage
ment. If that were the case, Commo-
dore Dewey would be under the neces-
sty of destroying or capturing them
afterwards in order to ensure the safe
ty of his own fleet. Likewise IT would
be necessarily to silence the Corregidor
guns in order to avoid being bottled up
in the harbor. Both of these tasks take
not only time but ships, and it is not to
be supposed that Commodore Dewey
would feel justified in sending one of
his vessels away for the simple purpose
of carrying news when she was needed
in the fight.
