Efforts Made to Lift Mortgage Of $1,000
at John street Baptist.

There was an all-day rally at John
Street Baptist church, yesterday, ar
ranged in an effort to lift the mortgage
Of $1,000 from the society. Rev. Fred
Thompson of Pawtucket preached a
forceful sermon in the morning. Rev.
L. H. Taylor, pastor of Zion church,
preached in the afternoon, and Rev.
Hiram Conway conducted the evening
service. Collections were taken at
each service, and the sum of 5000 was
raised by voluntary contributions.

the work OF the society, and the effort
to raise the amount necessary to clear
the church, debt will be continued
throughout the week.

FOLLOWED lNGERsoLL
Rev. R. a. Nichols on the Cure Of lnfI-
deity.

Rev. r. A. Nichols of the Church of
Christ preached a sermon last night on
"The causes and cure of infidelity"
The death of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
and the criticisms, adverse and other
wise that have followed, furnished thu
theme of Mr.. Nichols discourse.
He viewed scepticism from a broad
and liberal standpoint, and was charit-
able in his estimate of Col IngersoIl' S
character and preaching. He consid-
cred the various causes that lead to
lnf1delity. In many cases, he said, the
environment of youth is responsible
for scepticism. Views take possession
of the mind at the formative period,
that, later, teaching and influence of
the church cannot always eradicate.
Sceptics of this kind are antagonistlc
to Christianity and they form an hon
est type of the infidel.
Ingersoll, said Mr. Nichols, made
very little reference, in an antagonistic
spirit, to the Christ of the New Tesla
ment His quarrel was with the man
made creeds. This led him to extremes
and caused him to say things that the
average Christian regards as blasphem-
GUS. He reached these conclusions
largely through distorted views of God
He came to look upon God as a wrath
full and revengeful deity. This is not
the God of the New Testament, which
says that God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son for its
salvation. God does not damn man
man damns himself. 1t is the province
and work of Christ to reconcile man
with his maker Ingersoll came honest
ly to this belief, for his early training
was amid the gloomiest Calvinism.
Mr.. Nichols said that at one time he
was skeptic himself, largely through
the reading of Ingersolps works, but he
came to see that the great infideps con-
ception of God was wrong and dis
torted one, and that the way to sal
walton was open to all who sought it
through Christ
Mr. Nichols will begin next Sunday a
series of gospel tent meetings There
will be services every night in the week
save Saturday at 7.45 o'clock. The mu-
steal program will be in charge of AL
bert Bellingham, musical director at
the Church of Christ.

1t is rather curious that Edward Lau-
terbach, the New York lawyer and re-
publican leader, should have been the
one to deal knock-down blow to the
500 customs baggage law. If IL is
to be accepted as good law, that this
act restricting the amount of wearing
apparel and articles of personal adorn-
ment of transatlantic passengers may
bring in free of duty, is applicable only
to purchases made by the passenger
personally, travellers will make a prac-
tice Of exchanging presents in Europe,
and thus be able to bring in whatever
they desire. That is the argument in
the case OF Mrs. Phyllis Moore, soma
Of whose jewels that were seized were
purchased abroad.

CHRISTIAN PROGRESS.

Rev. Nehemiah Boynton Of Detroit.
Mich, delivered an interesting discourse
at the evening services at Piedmont
church last evening, The subject was
Christianity, its power, point and pro-
gressive life" In his addpess, he
brought out the contrast of the two
men, the known and the unknown man.
The latter was Christ, and the unno-
ticed the sick man whom Christ had
the power to grant strength to and to
uplift. The point was the definiteness
OF Christianity. Lastly, progressive
life Is religious life, and as Emerson
said, Il do not want to live to wear
out my old boots" it shows that relig-
ious life means to be progressive, as il
is necessary that to attain the latter.
you must first be the former.

Jules Verne's Fileas Fogg had some
reputation in his day as the top-notcb
globe-trotter, but that fantastic crea-

a loiterer and sluggard by the resist

The trans-siberian line is completed it

The committee of management of the
Quinsigamond International regatta
has worked hard for the success of the
enterprise. It finds itself in an am
Darrassing position on the eve of what
should have been the first days races,
through the failure of oarsmen who
had entered, to put in an appearance.
The committee is thus forced to revise
its program, and hold all the races
tomorrow afternoon, instead of spread
ing them over today and tomorrow as
the entry list warranted. 1t is dis
appointment which the public will
share with the committee.

1t has just been decided by naval
court martial that love-making while
on guard is not neglect of duty. A
naval official at the League Island navy
yard, who was as unsentimental as a
wooden Indian, preferred charges of
unsoldierly conduct and neglect of duty
against Corporal Scanlon, whom he
saw making love to a maid employed
in his household, while on guard duty,
one afternoon. 1t has been the pop
ular belief since wars were invented,
that love-making was soldiers duty,
and women have ever been prone to
encourage the warrior in that belief.
AS the court martial which tried Cor
poral Scanlon has decided that love-
making is not neglect of duty. soldiers
can interpret the verdict conversely to
mean that not to make love is neglect
of duty as well as of opportunity

The consumption of pig iron in this
country now averages about million
tons a month, which is double the ac-
tual production of five years ago. These
figures tell a story of industrial actlv-

at the beginning of the present decade,
except perhaps to Abram S. Hewitt.

Omaha is receiving praise because its
board of education has decided to dis
rense in part with annual elections of
seacners' and place on the list as per-
manent all who have served five sue
cessiye years. Hereafter the teachers
on this list viii be removed only for
specified cause, and after a hearing.
There is no question of the wisdom of
this measure, providing an appropriate
limit is fixed for retirement, so that
the corps of teachers need not become
superannuated and therefore enfeebled.
There is no department of civil gov
eminent to which the merit system of
appointment is more obviously and
even imperatively applicable than to
the public schools.

The raising of a 100000 fund for the
support of Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Ca
madam premier shows that Americans
are not the only ones who find the de-
mands OF high Office altogether dispro-
portionate to the size of their private
purse and the munificence of their Off
cial salary The premier gets about
$4,000 q year, which is but meagre al
lowance considering the entertainments
and public fetes expected OF him. The
proposition to raise his salary to S2o.-
600 may not be eXorbitant, but the Ca
nadians have not got their courage up
to making the appropriation.
