The older Christian churches urge
! as an objection against what they con-
| ceiVe Christian science to be, that 1t is
sheer impiety for any person to assert
I that he is clothed with the power of
God to heal the sick. The striking
weakness of this objection is that
Christian scientists do not profess any
such thing. AS it was in the time OF
Jesus, so now the power that heals this
SICK is the power of God. Christian
scientists assert that the bencficent
! COO of 1900 years ago, who so loved the
world that he gave his son to suffel
Whatever might be necessary for him
to suffer to reconcile man to God, to
enable man to know God is our God
today, with all the power, ell the ten
derness, all the love, all the Sympathy
for man that he manifested 1900 years
ago, and that it is the exercise of that
same power and love that now makes
the lame to walk and the blind to see.
You believe with Christian scientists
in divine healing, yet do you act upon
II as they do? Perhaps it is only after
the doctors and patent nostrums nave
left you helpless and hopeless that YOU
go to God with your sick loved ones
and then not quite assured that he viii
give you relief, for do you not pray
with medicines in your pockets and
consulting physicians in the adjoining
room? You may believe that in Cod
you live, move and have your being.
yet do you trust your life and health
entirely in Gods keeping?
our fathers believed, and taught us
TO believe, that God makes us sick. that
God makes us blind and deaf and lame
and therefore we can easily understand
now reluctantly and doubtingly one
VINO believes that God is the fruitful
source of all his sorrow and heartache
would go to him with a confiding peti
ton for relief from the very sorrows he
mas wrought. And here is the marked
distinction between the old churches
thought of God and our thought of him.
Christian scientists do not believe that
God makes you sick or blind or deaf
or halt, but we do believe that God is
infinite love, the great physician who
heals all our diseases
Christian scientists accept the car

COL. WILLIAM BREWER.
The Salvation Army Leader Addresses
LARGE Audience at the Y.M.C.A.


a Large Audience atthe Y.M.C.A.
Col. William Brewer of the Salvation
Army, spoke at the Y. M. c. A. yester-
day afternoon.
There was an unusually large attend
ance, and a number of the Salvation
Army were present. There was the
usual singing by the mems choir, and
several solos were given by A. L. Far
we'll. Col. Brewer was briefly intro
duced by Secretary Halsey Hammond,
and spoke for about half an hour. He
is a stalwart appearing man and his
smooth face makes him look younger
than his real age. He has been in the
Salvation Army work for more than Is
years, and is now past 30 years of
age. He spoke in straightforward
manner, keeping both hands in his
pockets all the time, except when he
wished to emphasize a remark with a
gesture. He has a winning way about
him and speaks in a forceful, terse
way, that holds the attention of every
one.
In his introduction, Col. Brewer spoke
of the pleasure he felt in coming back
to Worcester, where he was first di-
rected into the Salvation Army work,
and he spoke of the many happy mem
cries suggested Dy the IdUlllldT SIIHGIS
and homes of this city.
His subject for the afternoon was
Life and DEATH
He said, one sometimes wonders why
people die. Why should there be an
end to glory, position and work. But
death is something that comes to
everyone sooner or later. But death is
not the end. There is an eternal life.
Some doubt that there is an eternal
Ittf oysf %xaa
Bible. there are many reasons for be-
lief in the future life We come from
somewhere; we go somewhere, in Gods
great universe. Like the flowers that
fade and wither, yet are replaced by
new growth so the body decays but
the new life begins.
Sin is death. There is no real salts
faction in it. Sin seems to offer many
pleasures, but there is nothing in them.
Sin gives no satisfaction. Rather it
makes men miserable, wretched, sick.
Col. Brewer spoke of the influence of
the theatre. He thought that many
good people might attend a play, but
that any one sincerely following in the
footsteps Of Jesus, would not go. The
theatre is the church of the drunkard,
the ibertine and the gambler. ex-
gesture. A good man is known by the
company he keeps, and the inference
was if he went to the theatre he would
be associated with many disreputable
persons. But even the bad man is
good in spots, and may give a nickel
to the beggar on the streets The uues-
tior is. how to be altogether good. Col.
Brewer spoke of salvation and what it
meant for the sinner AS the scrip
lures saith, ITO be carnally minded is
death, but to be spiritually minded is
life"
Salvation means to be born again
Colleges may educate the mind but in
tellectual power cannot save the soul
Col. Brewer told of some of his per-
sonal experiences and used many tell
ing Illustrations in his address.

the case of Washington and Jefferson
Grant and Lincoln, Farragut and For-
ter, is not dead and America has not
lost it's capacity for admiration. Such
! a welcome as the people have given &c
Admiral Dewey manifests a spirit when
constitutes the hope of the nation.
! George Dewey sailed away from Am
erica to ASA, with his fleet, commo-
dore in the routine line of duty. lie
came back to the headship of the Am
erican navy, a full admiral, the third
naval hero in American history, to bear
this high honor.
We are led to ask an explanation OF
all this demonstration to Dewey, and
inquire as to the meaning of this sta
in the east" This Unprecedented up
rising Of the people, we believe, has
been due chiefly to three reasons. The
first is the boldness and decisiNeness
of the victory won at Manila In the
next place, this great popular demon
stration has been due to the tact and
diplomacy shown by Admiral Dewey,
under the trying circumstances Which
followed the victory in Manila bay.
Again this outburst of enthusiasm -
due, we believe, in no small degree to
the dignified bearing, humble spiri. and
Christian courtesy Of the man. He has
not been a seeker after fame or hon
orS. They have come to him IN the
doing Of his simple, plain and ordered
duty.
The opportunity was there for him
in Manila bay. The hour came, and he
proved himself to be the men for the
hour. The hero and conqueror of that
glorious first of May has justified his
title by his conduct since; for he has
been as modest and wise as he was
previously brave and efficient, 1t means
much to win honor; it means more to
bear it,
Then, too the American people love
to honor the man to whom honor is
due, if the man recognizes his allegiance
to the king of kings.
Admiral Dewey is a communicate o.
the Episcopal church, and when .jres-
ent at a service on a recent Sunday, the
following prayer, at his request was
offered: Almighty God, the sovereign
commander of all the world, in whose
hand is power and might, which none
is able to Withstand, for all the victor
les and deliverances of the last two
years, ana for conducting through the
perils of the great deep, this thy SER
want deslreth to return his thanks, In
this, thy church" a
However the people of America may
differ as to their churches and their
creeds, when they come to bow a. the
altar of a national hero, they honor him
the more II ne nave DOth chuGcn ana
a creed.
In answer to the question, What
shall we dc with our hero?" we venture
to second the motion of the London
Spectator, which is that he be appoint
ed governor general of the archipelago,
with such authority as will enable him
to do what seems best and wisest.
1t is too late to discuss whether we
should be in the Philippines; we are
he &c 10
bloodshed the riot, the waste, to an
end, and establish in its place peace
and law and equality of rights. That
is the task, and Dewey is the man.
This should be done to the man whom
the people delight to honor.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

A very favorable increase is report
ed in the earnings of the railroads of
New England during the past 10
months. The gross earnings of 80
roads for the second week in October
was 81, 625,901, against $6,9SO,O0O for the
second week of October, 1898, an in
crease of $725,S71. Thirty-four roads
show an increase and five a decrease.
Since Jan. 1 the roads referred to
earned $251, 3S1, 227, an increase of $24,-
172, 124 over 1921, 2191OS, reported for the
corresponding period of 1898. For the
longer period "a show an increase and
five a decrease.

The reappointment of Gen. Fred
Funston to serve again in the Philip
pines is q move in the right direction.
1t is further indication of the admin
istration's determination to end the re-
bellion at the very earliest moment.
The Tagalog knows the little red-head-
ed Kansan as man who would rather
fight than eat. Unlike Dewey he viii
not even stop for breakfast when there
is fighting to be done. His reappear-
ance in the jungle will have greater
effect upon the Filipino than the sight
of the Brooklyn and the other naval
reinforcements.

THE IRON MARKET.

The iron market has been fairly ac-
tive during the past week and there has
been a considerable placing of contracts
for next years business. There has
been scarcely a quotable change in
prices for the last fortnight, Prices
are exceedingly firm and the undertone
is very strong. AS to the delivery con-
ditions. they are about the same as
they have been all the time during the
past two or three months. 1t is impos-
sible to get material for immediate de-
livery and even on large time contracts
there is a serious delay to bother the
business men.

THIS YEARS FOOT BALL.

The foot bail season of 1900 is now
well on. The ordinary riffraff of mi
nor practice games is over, and the
contests now being played are for the
most part games of interest. Rather
more than the usual number of sur
prises have been sprung. Teams con-
sidered strong have been Vanquished
by teams deemed weak, and 1t looks as
though that element of uncertainty
which makes base ball interesting, is
becoming a feature of foot ball A
few years ago there was q wide gulf
between the university and the college.
The only interest attaching to matches
between large and small institutions
was the size of the score the former
would roll up 1t was considered i'm
possible that the latter could win or
even score. For years Yale allowed
no small college to score on her and
it was only in the fall of 95 that she
suffered one of her lesser rivals to
make a touchdown. But today all this
is changed. Scores no longer mount into
the "forties" or "fifties." while only
last Saturday Yale had to work her
hardest to so much as score on Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
University of Pennsylvania, a men,
Der Of the muoh-vaunted big four,
has been beaten twice and tied once
by rivals supposedly inferior. Cornell
is another instance of a university that
has taken a slump in foot ball This
growing equality between big and small
institutions is bound to increase as bet
ter coaching systems are established
and the game becomes more generally
understood. 1t is to the best interests
of the sport, although the universities
naturally regret a pre-eminence nc
longer theirs.
Another surprise of the present sys-
tenn is the advance Of foot ball in the
west. The University of Chicago near
ly beat Pennsylvania last year This
year they are confident of victory Cor
nell did not even give them a hard
game. Wisconsin. which so nearly
tied Yale is probably superior to Chi
cago. Last fall she beat Chicago and
expects to do it again. Michigan is
almost as strong as the other two. while
the prowess of the Pacific coast uni
versities is well known. 1t looks as
if the time were not far distant when
the west would send east a team ca
pable of carrying off the highest honors
of the gridiron
In the east, Harvard promises to
maintain last years record, although
some of Cambridge's recent victories
have been by an uncomfortably small
margin. Princeton rather than Yale
will be her chief rival for first honors
it is thought. Brown is trife stronger
than usual, and will end the season with
a long list of wins. Dartmouth is
strong, but has lost much prestige by
being defeated by Williams for the first
time in six years. Both teams were
out for blood Dartmouth especially be-
ing DESTROYS TO win at all hazards the
first year after her election from the
triangular league. The outcome of the
game is no surprise to Worcester PEG,
pie, in view of the defeat administered
by the Berkshire college to the strong
Holy Cross aggregation of this city
which is recognized to be the best team
Worcester has ever produced.

1t is pleasing to learn that this swing
of President Mckinley around the cir
Gle did not injure his health. Journeys
Of this kind are good for the presiden-

a jaunt was extremely different from
that of William Mckinley. wher Gro

There seems to be no possible doubt
now as to the retirement of Charles P.
Clark from the active control of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, but there is no fear that it will
precipitate any complicated conditions.
The promotion of Judge John NJ Hall
from the presidency to the presi-
dency will settle all that. The clincher
comes in making Mr.. Clark president
emeritus. This gives the railroad the
benefit of Mr.. Clark's advice. while
shifting the brunt of the labors of the
presidency upon other shoulders.
Judge Hall, although he has had prac-
tically no railroad experience, has done
much to bring the road up to its pres
ent standard and has the full confidence
of the directors.
