CIRCUS WRECKED BY
A STORM IN ST. Louis
One Man Killed and a Panic
Narrowly Averted.
Frightened Elephants Gained by a
COOl-Headed Trainer.
The Animals In Single File Follow
Their Leader Until the Hur-
ficane La Over.

St. Louis, Mo-. May 8.-Workmen are
busy today cleaning up the wreck the wind
made of Ringling Bros Circus yesterday.
One man is dead and several injured as a
result Of the work of the storm. Much
damage was done by water flooding cellars.
The tent for yesterdays show was being
erected when the storm came. The five
main poles and several smaller ones had
been raised and were supporting the huge
canvas when all the poles were suddenly
falling crushed the skull of bystander.
There were many persons under the can
vas. but they escaped uninjured. The cir
Gus elephants had already been led from
the train and chained before the storm
began. AS the wind howled and the great
folds Of canvas began to loosen, the big
animals commenced to trumpet and
strain at their chains
Lockhart the trainer, with several as
sistants came running up. Advancing
straight toward the largest elephant Lock-
hart commanded him to stand still.
Standing in front Of the elephant he told
his assistants to loosen the beast which
had become quieter. The chains were
loosened. Then Lockhart ordered the
other animals freed. When this had been
done he ordered the big elephant to follow
him and turned and without once looking
back walked down the lot to the nearest
street into which he turned. The elephants
fell into line behind the leader OF the
heard and tranquility followed. Lockhart
walked them about until the blow was
over.

Nothing of any historical value has
been lost or impaired. The church doc-

church, stands forth more glorious than

which have never received the sanction Of

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AssA11ED.

Rev. DIR. Johnston Says That 1t Il
Neither Christian HOr Scientific.
New York, May 8.-In the second of a
series Of three sermons on Christian Sci
ence the Rev. DR.. Howard Agnew John
ston. In the Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church. last night. declared that II Chris
tion religious teachings were taken as the
standard and Christian Science judged
therefrom. Christian Science was not Chris
tianity, and IL judged with the scientific
world as the standard. 1t was not scien-
tiic.
DR.. Johnston directed attention to the
fact that Mrs. Eddy in her book raises a
doubt as to the personality of God, and he
contended that II the personality of God
was question, then SO was the personal
ity Of each individual soul. On this he
said:
"A most important truth in every true
religion is that OF the personality OF each
individual soul, and to deny this and the
personality of the living God, as the phil
osophy Of Mrs. Eddy does. is to cut out OF
religion all that is most attractive. tempt
ing and consoling''
But Mr. Johnston thought that Christian
Science had done some good in the world
and that there was much that is good in
1t. but that its errors must be thrown
aside. He believed that In time all that
was good in Christian Science would be
appropriated by the world at large as had
been much Of the Universalist creed.

Ethics, morality, honest trade and pure

Views of African MethOdists ON
Southern Lawlessness.
New Haven. Conn. May S.--Unless this
nation guarantees protection to all its
citizens in the South. 1t is fated the
New England Conference of African
Methodists declared in a fiery resolution
yesterday. 1t was as follows:
We commend this great country for the
noble stand it has taken in the interest Of
the Cubans and the Filipinos. but we de-
plore the fendish and lawless course per-
mitted by the State and Federal govern
ments of our land against one portion OF
her citizens. Such barbarous acts as have
been witnessed in the South recently must
result in the final overthrow Of this nation
by just God. The farcical trial in the
late Postmaster Bakers case miscarried
because prejudice prevails to such an ex
tent that conviction and punishment seem
impossible in certain parts of our country.
Resolved. That we concur in the petit
tion of the Afro-American Council held in
Washington recently under the leadership
of Bishop A. Walters and other distin-
guished race leaders. and that We set aside
the first Friday and Sunday in June to ad-
dress the throne of God in prayer as me
mortal days to redress our wrongs as

Hawk stated last night that no wreckage
has come ashore. He said the tapes on
the jacket were tied as they would have
been had it been belted about a medium

wreckage must have come ashore as did
the life preserver. The fact that no other
wreckage has been discovered on the shore

NEW CHRISTIANITY AssAIIED.
President Patton, of Princeton. De

nOunces Latter-Day Doctrines.
Princeton, N. j.. May S.-President Pat
ton, of Princeton University, in Miller
hapel, yesterday morning, delivered his
closing adress to the graduating class of
the Princeton Theological Seminary. The
occasion was the eighty-seven annual
commencement of the theological school,
President Patton spoke on THE New
Christianity" which, he said, was tending
to view the doctrine Of Christianity mere
ly from its ethical, or moral. side. His
text was from Acts xi. 26. "And the disci-
pies were first called Christians in An
tioch." He said:
There is new Christianity, a sort of
ethical Christianity. which has become
popular of late. new method of preach
ing is coming into vogue, containing senti-
mentality and sociology in almost equal
proportions. You hear ministers talk
about expansion and the open door policy,
and not so much about justification by
faith. Churches are called institutional I
don't know why, unless. perhaps, 1t is
because they have as little to do with
Christianity as some other institutions.
1.-THE roots of Christianity lies in the
meaning of Christianity. Our Christianity
must be more than ethical or we have no
ethics to preach.
what then does Christianity mean?
What is it? The answer must be, it is a
revelation. 1t is distinct and finite
piece of information. On that hypothesis
it is that two questions confront u.s.
First, what is its authority? Under
this, what is the seat and the degree OF its
authority? Second, what is its content?
And then, under this, what is the area o;
belief and what the specific thing We have
to believe? Religious discussions used to
be based on belief in the Bible. The >di-
vinity of Christ was affirmed or denied
purely and solely upon the Interpretation
OF the Bible.
Evolution began with biology, and after
turning the scientific world upside down
its advocates are now trying to force il
upon religion also. Preaching has become
ethical simply because under the new
view there is nothing left but ethics and
morality to preach.
"You men about to become ministers of
the faith will have to reckon no more with
men who interpret the Bible differently
from you than with men who disbelieve It,
'If you apply the philosophy Of evolp-
ton to the origin Of the literature of the
Bible you must apply 1t as we'll to its
credibility. II you say that evolution ac-
counts for everything and that there are
and have been no miracles, then you can
not possibly believe the incarnation. the
virgin birth or the resurrection. II you
