SPAIN SEEKS TO AID F1L1p1Nos.


Washington, March 2O.-Evidence has
been received here which seems to init
mate that Spain is plotting to aid the
Filipinos and to engage other powers
SO as to embarrass the United States
in settling the Philippine question
Spain wishes, it is believed, to recognize
the belligerency of the Filipinos, and
with this motive is now using all haste
to conclude her treaty of peace with the
United States. There is already evil
dence at the state department that
Spain is seeking to make the release of
the Spanish prisoners her justification
for friendly relations with the Filipinos
as an independent government
Spain and the powers unfrendly to
American domination in the Philippines,
acting through Spain. are endeavorng
to produce the impression that the Unit
ed States is unable to control those ISL
ands. The object of this agitation is
that Spain. and ultimately her friends,
shall recognize the belligerent rights of
the Filipinos with the view of produc-
ing state of affairs in the Philippines
which will justify interference if not
partition Of the territory

PAYING VERSUS PRAYING
Dr.. Chambers Rebukes the Tenden.
cie8 OF His Chnreh'

New York, June 26-Rev DR.. Charles
Chambers. who has just resigned the pas
torate of Calvary Presbyterian church,
said in his farewell sermon that Presby-
terianism was on the verge of a serious
question in the city of New York-the
church was beginning to be looked on In
the light Of paying Investment. The
paying church was getting more popular
than the praying church. The people were
too much inclined TO subordinate the real
aim. In order to provide for the districts
that could not support a church ne
thought the presbytery ought to raise a
fund Of at least $500 900 to endow parishes.
He believed something ought to be done
to elevate the real purpose of the church
and that the spiritual end should dictate
its policy. ''We have gone through our
experience here because there has not been
a sufficient constituency to maintain a
Presbyterian organization" said DR.. Cham
bers. THE churches must go where the
people are and stay there and save the
poole. I stated that this locality was in
habited almost entirely by people of an
other race. l want 70 say now that a
certain rabbi told me he could buy for his
people fifteen or twenty churches II salts
factory terms were arranged. At least
five offers have been made for this prop
erty. When we send missionaries among
the Jews we must put up the money. We
cannot work among them any other way.
There Is another element that has a wide
influence in this church. The discussions
of the Bib'e have had mighty influence
on the people. Their faith has been under
mined until it has reached a state Of in
difference. Doubt has been raised as 70
the very substructure OF the Christian
faith. This has made the work Of the
minister tenfoid create"
DR.. Chambes said II was with deep re-
greet that he relinquished his passionate.
The church will be sold for 10000 for
synagogue and the proceeds devoted TO
missionary work
II the blood Is impure. II cannot do its !
duty, Hoods Sarsaparilla purifes the |
blood.
