DISASTROUS TO THE CHURCH.
A Religious Editors Views of Prof.
De Wits Sermon.


The introduction of the controversy over
what is known as the higher criticism"
which has been going on in the Presbyte-
Ran Church of the United States for sew
eral years past in the Pan-Presbyterian
Alliance, as was done in the opening SER
mon delivered yesterday by Prof De Witt
of Princeton Theological Seminary, Is more
or less discussed By the delegates. One of
the molders of opinion in the Presbyterian
Church is Mr.. w. c. Gray, the veteran ed
itor of the Chicago Interior. the leading
church paper in that denomina ton. Mr..
Gray is a delegate to the alliance, and
when he was asked today by a representa-
tive of The Star what he thought of Prof.
De Wits sermon he said:
1T went over the ground that has been
traversed during the controversy, and pre-
scented in admirable summary what has
been said on the conservative side. There
might be question to the taste and
propriety of introducing at such time
such controversial subject treated IN
such highly controversial style, but Prof.
De Witt is a scholar and gentleman. and
he can SO determine such a matter much
better than l can There are two features
and one was the violent exegesis which
made the text, 1 Peter 1:23, refer to the
Bible instead of to Christ.
THE other point was the declaration
ludl Tie NlSueT CTlllClSlIl leduS 10 TdllOu-
alism. This is a disputed question, and
there are number of people who don't
take such view.
The bringing Of polemic into the coun-
Gil perhaps was thought by Prof. De Witt
a proper thing to do, but if the council is
to represent the united churches divided
questions ought not to be brought into the
proceedings for, if that is done, the council
will no longer represent the churches. The
contest that has been going for five
years in the Presbyterian Church over the
question of the higher criticism has been
very disastrous to the best interests of the
church and the falling off in the increase
in the membership well as in the amount
of contributions has kept pace with the
contest. Those who love the church would
like to end put to this kind of bust
ness and all energies directed to the spread
of the Gospel of Christ. We will never ac-
complish anything by fighting among our
selves. Such questions that of the high
er criticism settle themselves without harm
to the church, providing the scholars fight
it out among themselves without bringing
them before the people. If men like Prof.
De Witt would read the history of such
controversies and note what they have done
to the church they might pause in their
present line Of endeavor.

All of the crew or the olympia bear wit
ness in the dark tan of their faces that
they have seen tropic cline. The officers
are equally as black Of skin. There is one
officer, however. who does not owe his
swarl .liness entirely to a torrid sun. In
deed, one would think him of negro blood
were such a supposition not contradicted
by his straight, clear-cut, Caucasian fea-
lures. His lips, too, are thin, although hid
in part by a snow white mustache. This
man. who attracts so much attention, is G.

however. On this side of the sea this en-

KIT CARSON'S RIFLE.
The Interesting Relic Is Now the
Property of santa Fe
Lodgeroom.

Kit Carson's rifle, which was carried
| by him for more than 40 years, and
which never failed him, is now pre-
cious relic in the possession of the
Montezuma lodge of masons at Santa
| Fe, of which he was n member.
AS an Indian fighter Carson was
matchless, and no one understood bet
| ter than he the habits and the nature
of the savage. He told Col. Inman, of
Kansas, that he was never deceived but
once by Indian tactics. He said that
| he was hunting with six Others after
| buffalo in the summer of 1885; that
] they had been successful and came
| into their little bivouac one night very
| tired, intending to start for the rem
devious at Bent's fort the next morn
ing. They had n number of dogs,
among them some excellent animals.
| These barked good deal and seemed
restless and the men heard wolves.
~ saw" said Kit, two big wolves
sneaking about, one of them quite
close to us. Gordon, one of my men,
wanted TO fire his rifle at it, but l did
not let him, for fear he would hit dog.
| admit that l had sort of idea that
those wolves might be Indians, but
when l noticed one of them turn short
around and heard the clashing of his
| teeth as he rushed at one of the dogs,
| l felt easy then and was certain that
they were wolves sure enough. But the
red devil fooled me after all, for he had
two dried buffalo bones in his hands I'm
der the wolfskin, and he ratified them
together every time he turned to make
a dash at the dogs. Well, by and by
we all dozed off, and it wasn't long be-
fore l was suddenly aroused by noise
and big blaze. l rushed out the first
| thing for our mules and held them. IL
/ the savages had been at all smart they
could have killed us in trice, but they
ran as soon as they fired at us. They
killed one of my men, putting five bull
let's in his body and eight in his buffalo
robe. The Indians were a band of
Sioux on the war trail after band of
Snakes, and found us by sheer accident.
They endeavored to ambush us the next
morning, but we got wind of their little
game and killed three of them, includ-
ing the chief"
Next to Kit Carson the most famous
scout in the southwest was Jim Baker.
a native of Illinois, who was employed
.or many years by the American Fur
company, who married an Indian wife
from the Snake tribe in Idaho and en-
tered the service of the United States
with Gen. Fremont during his first ex-
ploring expedition. During his old age.
after one season of unusually success
full trapping, he realized the handsome
sum of $4,000 from the sale of his furs.
He then determined to spend the re-
mainder of his days in comfort. The
night before his departure from Fort
Bent he went around the camp to bid
the boys good-by. The farewells were
accompanied by a good deal of drink
ing, and before the evening was over
Jim Baker had taken a seat in faro
game, where he lost every cent of his
money. He returned to the mountains
with his Indian wife, established a lit
tie store and spent the rest of his life
trading with the Indians and the min
