REV. WILLIAM RAIDER TALKED
ON FlLlAL INGRATITUDF

Rev William RAIDER OF the Third Con-
gregational Church last night delivered
another Of his interesting sermons on the
tragedies Of Shakespeare. His subject wa :
king Lear-Filial Ingratitude." He took
for his text Deut. WIG: Honor thy father
and thy mother. as the Lord thy God
hath commanded thee" After telling the
main facts of the tragedy; how he tested
the affection of his three daughters. two
OF whom proved false and drove him in
sane, ending their own lives in shame.
while Cordelia. his beautiful child, was
sacrificed. the speaker said:
This story is as old as the English
language. IL is one OF the sarcasms OF
criticisms 20 show the sources from which
The San Francisco call., 1899-12-04

Shakespeare drew his materials. As well
ask where the eagle received its eye wing
and the power OF flight. There is as much
dinerence between the sources and the trag-
edies as there is between the crude clay and
the costly vase. The tragedy OF king Lear
Illustrates an old precept announced by
Moses Honor thy father and thy mother"
The great tragedy is a commentary on this
text He causes the ingratitude OF two
daughters 10 conflict with this law OF the
family and the result resembles the con-
fuence OF the ocean currents. Women who
are untrue TO their fathers are not 20 be
trusted by their husbands. This is the
other truth OF the tragedy. Cordelia Is one
OF Shakespeare's beautiful creations. Lear
is the most violent OF Shakespeare's char
acters. He has been lkened 10 a ship
driven before the storm or TO the churning
waves around the rocks.

Plan to Refund NATIONAL Debt,

Washington, December 2.-The Re-

mittee on finance met to-day in accord
ance with the call of the chairman Sem
ator Aldrich, to consider a financial bill
to be presented at the approaching ses-
sion of congress. Secretary Gage was
in consultation with the members until
after l O'Clock. One of his suggestions
was the advisalbihty of a general re-
funding of the bonded debt of the coun-
try at lower rate of interest than is
now prevailing. The indications are
that a feature of this kind will be in
corporated in the senate bill. The SEN
ate measure will make provision for
maintenance of the gold standard, but
will be entirely a different measure
from THAT prepared by the house Re-
publican caucus committee.
