Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-10-14

even the fact that the same were used by the
dreaded Roman Church would prevent the
adoption OF them. The opposition comes
from the conviction that salvation Of souls
en- be secured without them.
This view makes the question
one of mere eXpediency. But
Judging from other utterances
from equally intelligent sources,
the question is far more serious
one on the part of the opposition.
Some of them refer to the Ian
guage of Jesus, Sin vain do you
worship me, teaching for doc
trines the commandments of
men," and of Moses, "What
thing soever | command you,
observe to do it; thou shalt not
add thereto or diminish there
from;'' and they contend that
the use of incense and the carry
ing of lights in procession in
connection with the worship, are
without authority either in the
Prayer Book or in the Bible, and
such things must be offensive to
the head of the church. OF
course, so long as there are
thousands of Christians within
and without the Church of Eng
land who hold that principles of
loyalty to Christ are violated by
these innovations, the contention
will of necessity continue, unless
those with whom these forms are
mere eXpedients shall, for
Christ's sake, graciously yield in
the interest of peace.

The following item of thrilling
interest is from The Church
Fan1iIy Newspaper:
A very remarkable development or result
of the Dreyfus affair is reported from Russia,
where, it must be remembered, the majority
of the Jewish race are still domciled
meeting Of Jews was held at Odessa some
time ago to congratulate themselves upon the
revision of the Dreyfus trial. A young Jew
rose and in an eloquent speech said revision
of the Dreyfus Sc put the obligation upon
all the Jews of the world to revise another
unjust trial which ended in an unjust sen.
tence of death and the execution of the vic
tim-namely, of Jesus of Nazareth. The
Orthodox Jews present protested vehemently,
but number of young men declared the idea
to be worthy of consideration, and they have
formed society who call themselves the
"Revisonists' This is not the only Chris.
tianizing movement that is in progress among
the Jews of Russia. A large sect accept
Christ as the Messiah, but not as God, and
follow His teaching while conforming to the
law of Moses.
This incident recalls the pre-
diction of the prophet Daniel,
which many interpreters time to
fall due of fultillment within this
decade: " And at that time shall
Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the
children of the people: and there
shall be time of trouble such as
never was since there was ma
ton even to that same time; and
at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the book: and
many of them that sleep shall
awake, some to everlasting life
and some to everlasting shame

The Notices of the Opposition.

The 14ngllcan Church Chyoui-
Gle, in a note on the controversy
about ritual, suggests that if the
use of incense and the carrying
of lights in procession could be
shown plainly to the world to be
conducive to moral worthiness,
objections would cease, preju-
dice would be overcome and men
would be won over to their use,
the conviction that these forms
are needless being the chief
source of opposition. We quote:
No doubt the world wishes to see plainly
that persons become worthier earthly citizens
for their religious forms, before there is a
chlnce of its conversion to their us. N t

Prof. Henry E. Dosker, DID,,
of the Western Theological Sem
mary of the Reformed Church
of America, writing on ODE
nominational Diversities - in the
Homi1eiic Rcviczv, says:
The denominatonal diversity is one of
Gods ideas which He has transformed into
historic reality. 1t is fruit of the process
of organic development in the history of doc.
trines in the Church; of evolution, if one
pleases.
There are many honest and in
telligent people who think and
teach that denominationalism is
useful, affording everyone a
church of his own faith and or
der, giving occasion for proper
emulation, and avoiding strife
within the local congregations.
But we may we'll ask Is it

many other sayings like these
from Christ and his apostles from
which it appears clearly that it is

people divided into waring sects,
but rather that they should be a

THE ALBATROSS.

A Eird Of Majestic Aerial Velocity
and Unsuitable Appetite.
Out Of the blue void the albatross
comes unhasting Oh inotionless pinions,
yet at such speed that one moment a
speck hardly discernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
round he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing iu nature conveys to the
mind go wonderful an idea of effortless
velocity as does his calm appearance
from vacancy. Like most of the true
pel,gic birds, he is devourer Of offal,
the successful pursuit of fish being i'm
possible to his majestic evolutions. His
appetite is enormous, but bis powers OF
abstinence are equally great, and often
for days he goes without other nourish'
ment than drink of the bitter sea. At
the Gargantuan banquet provided by a
carcass of a dead whale he will gorge
himself until incapable Of rising from
the Hea, yet still bis angry scream may
be heard as if protesting against his IN
ability to find room fer more provision
against hungry days soon to follow.
Despite his Incompatible grace OF
flight when gliding through midair
with his mighty wings outspread, when
ashore or on deck he is clumsy and i'll
at ease. Even seated upon the sea. his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while his huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to be- upheld. On land he can
hardly balance himself, and the broad
silky webs of his feet soon become LAGER
ated. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally inaccessible rocks which are
his breeding places are as brief as may
be, since even conjugal delights are
dearly purchased with hunger and pain
full restraint. A true child of the air,
land is hateful to him, and only on the
wing does he appear to be really al
home and easeful. Spectator.

Ii The Ladies' Home Journal Edward
Bok, with much satisfaction, notes thu
afreng tendency to country living and
believes that IT is one Of the best signs
Of the times. Nothing in the world can
keep man or woman 30 young and
fresh as to be able to be in touch each
day with the perpetual freshness and
youth Of nature. Suburban life means
more out of door living, and that 10
what we Americans all need. We-want
more exercise, and suburban living
makes that easier. We want our inter-
est in things kept fresh, and that nature
does for us as nothing else can.
",rhe more our busy men ses OF ma
ture's restful ways the more restful
will they become. The closer we keep
our children to the soil the healthier
will they be physically and the stronger
will they develop mentally. The more
our girls breathe in the pure air which
God intended for all, but which man in
the cities pollutes, the better women We
shall have, the fewer worried mothers
we shall zee. The more our young men
zee Of out Of door sports the more clear.
Iy will they realize the greatness OF
splendid physical health.
"The more the tired housewife sees Of
flowers and plants and trees the closer
will become her interest in all things
natural and simple, and, as she sees the
simplicity with which nature works un-
consciously, will the lesson be forced up.
OIL her and enter into her own methods
We all agree that there is no teacher
like nature herself Let US all, then, get
as close to her as possible. Whatever
she teaches is wholesome to the mind
and uplifting to the soul and strength
ening to the body. In the very act OF
studying her wonderful ways there is
health"
