IN RELIGIONS REALM.
EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought of the Day
as Expressed in the Sec
tartan Press.

THE present condition Of theology, !"
says the interior Pres.) of Chicago,
is tnat OF a great number and variety
OF paiuallsms. We have had no great
tneologian since the Reformation who
was not a partialist confining himself
to one truth with it's immediate foot
hills, and antagonizing other partial
lists Who were exalting some other
truth. Perhaps the most striking ex-
ample is seen in Arminius and Calvin
botn OF them extreme partialists; the
one carrying human freedom to the
extent or absolute Self-Sufficiency, and
the other carrying the divine sovereign
ty to the extent of fatalism. Every
denomination stands upon a partial
ism, some of their specialties so small
| and insignificant that to divide the
disciples of Christ into warning sects
over them can have no other source or
motive than human obstinacy, egotism
and perversity. 1t is argued that these
partialistic sects are necessary in order
that each separate constituent of the
whole body of theological truth may be
maiI,tained and emphasized. We agree
with this view in the present conditions

fifty years has been tremendous The

How Pythons Settle Quarrels.

It was in October, 1894, that the big
python at the Zoo fell into the de-
plorable error of swallowing his COM

shorter than himself A similar dis
aster is reported from Bombay, where
for some years past two large Indian
pythons had occupied cage in the
Museum of the Bombay Natural His

day there was only one very stout
python visible. These large reptiles

crowd from the city. Against the pro-

crowd stoned Big Consolidated car.

crowd with a revolver. Nobody was
hit, but the shooting had the effect OF
dispensing the mob in short order.
James Ackman, a Big Consolidated

throw the conductor from the car and
the latter drew his revolver and sent
bullet through Linkenberger's arm.

hearty cheers which greeted Governor

With Tammany supporting him there
will be but very little opposition in

mentary OF Mr.. Bryan was not In
tended as an endorsement OF his candi-

be that Mr.. Croker sincerely thinks

him, and locked the girl up.
Last Saturday she escaped and came
