RIDICULOUS EXAGGERATIoNS.

Speaking Of the big fortunes that
are reported to have been made in
Wall street and elsewhere during the
boom in stocks, The New York Times
analyses some of the tales that are
told thereof, and reaches the conclu-
sion that. while some of these stories
may be true, the great majority of
them are ridiculous exaggerations. The
big Spectator who makes $4,000 is
credited with having acquired hun
dreds of thousands, and the little
Spectator who realizes $1,000 on a
turn soon finds himself congratulated
on having made $4,000 or S25. 900. The
boom has brought with it a spirit Of
exultation which insists upon gauging
everything on a large scale. and the
Imagination is playing an important
part in the skyrocketing.

REV. |. p. IOHNSON'S LECTURE
Interesting Discourse Mt st. Pnufs
Church on "Whnt is the GIFT of
the Holy Spirit!"

Rev. Irving p Johnson, the talented
young Episcopaian priest OF South Omaha
delivered another of his series of lectures
Friday night at St Paul's church, Thirty
second and California streets. His topic was
what is the Gift OF the Holy Spirit?'
Preliminary to the main issue OF his sub
ject. Rev. Johnson talked Of the personality
Of the Holy Spirit and read several extracts
from the scriptures, notably: Acts /, s;
Timothy II. V, %; st. John, xvi, 7.
The lecture included, incidentally, scrip
tural Interpretation of baptism. The gem
eral trend of the lecture was that the gift
of the Holy Spirit is the foundation OF the
church-a broad foundation, limited to no
particular locality nor race OF people. The
church." declared the speaker, sis more for
the one lost sheep than for the ninety and
nine saved ones; in short, it is not stamped
with human narrowness'
On account OF the bad weather there was

though he had a crowded house.
