GREAT MYSTERY OF LIFE
First of Series of Lectures by
Rev. Mr.. Tilburn
THE MEANS OF SALVATION
Religion OF Jesus Christ the Only Way,
Object OF the Sermons, Says the
Speaker Is to Make Clear
the Way.

The first of a series of lectures on
-'The Plan of Salvation" was delivered
last night by Rev. Edward Oliver Til
burn in the Christian tabernacle.
! 1.-THE Great Mystery" was the sub
Iject upon which the minister spoke,
and life, he declared, was a greater
mystery than death.
This lecture is based upon propo-
sition,'' said Rev. e. 0. Tilburn at
sthe beginning of his lecture last night.
1.-The proposition will be found in Holy
Writ, Genesis, I'd chapter, 18th verse,
and First Timothy 1:16. Let me read:
.And the Lord God formed man of the
dust of the ground, and breathed into
salis nostris the breath of life, and man
became a living SOUL and without con-
Eroversy great is the mystery of god
illness. God was manifest in the flesh.
Here is given an account of the Gre
alton Of man; and here, also, is pre-
scented the character that God gave to
the f1esh-godliness To the inanimate
was given animation, and it came
rrom God. who created the inanimate
and fitted man ito make use of it by
tgiving him the life that was in God.
1.-The Creator God breathed-dust lived.
This is all very mysterious. The
beginning Of life is a matter shrOuded
lin mystery. This account reveals to,
hbut it fails to satisfy the mind. We
g,vho live, however, find a greater mys-
Gery: How to live. This our original
,possession is not easy to use to our
profit. Life is the great mystery to us
ALL To desire to live is natural. Few
want to die: ito live forever is a con-
summation devoutly to be wished Ow-
ing to natural conditions, the flesh
cannot abide forever, but it is not only
logical but of the deepest philosophy
that the eternal principle of life does
live, and he who is obedient to that
.principle will never die
(, THE object of these Lectures Is to
make this. which seems mysterious
plain. To reveal to man the means Of
salvation from death, and to show The
better way of life, SO that the flesh
shall be of profit, and the end--eternal
life. Both, we claim, are revealed in
the religion of Jesus Christ both can
be made practical by all who accept
this religion. ,.
IF we have any hope of anything
coming through these humble efforts,
it is that they may be the means of
making plain the way of life, and all
that we shall say shall be according
to logic, philosophy and scripture.
''In the religious world there is much
of controversy as to ways and means,
but all agree upon the great moral
principle Without argument or diff

LOOTED MAIL BAG.
The Pouch Is Found Concealed in the
Woods.


Westerly. r. l., Oct 25.-A mail pouch
en- route from New York to Westerly,
and containing between 500 and GOO let
tiers, in many of which were checks and
money, was stolen from the railroad sta
ton here Tuesday morning. 1t was at
first supposed that the pouch had mis-
carried
Superintendent Ryan of the railway
mail service at Boston was notified, and
an investigation was at once set on foot
This morning Joseph Scott notified Post
master Clancy that the pouch had been
stolen by Alfred Fl. Wills of this town,
and the latter was placed under arrest
While Scott and his sister, Julia Scott
were also held.
When confronted with the charge
Wills made a confession and went with
Officer Brown into the woods where the
bag had been concealed. The bag had
been cut open and all the letters torn
open and ritied of their valuable contents
The sum of $24.25 was found upon Wills
person. This had evidently been taken
from the letters, but none of the checks
supposed to be in the envelopes were re-
covered, having probably been burned
Scott was only discharged from the
state prison two weeks ago, having been
there for the theft of boat in which his
sister and Wills took part. the two lat
ter turning states evidence
Wills now says that Scott planned the
theft of the pouch and took it from an
unguarded mail cart at night and that
he (Wills) helped carry it away. 1t is
the general belief that Scott betrayed
Wills to be revenged for the formers ac-
ton in the boat case.
The prisoners Were turned over to
United States Marshal McCabe of Provi-
dence.. sa
The mail matter found in the pouch
was thoroughly soaked by. rain, and it
will be several days. before the letters
can be sorted and put in condition for
delivery.

WHAT HE SAID.
Mr.. Heath Rises to Explain His Recon
Remarks

Mr.. Heath Rises to Explain His Recon
Remarks.
Washington. Oct. 25.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath returned to
his official desk to-day from his trip to
the West. He was somewhat amused,
and yet a little vexed. at some Of the
interpretations placed upon his remarks
before the Republican Editorial associa-
ton of Michigan respecting Aguinaldo.
Mr.. Heath said his remarks referred
altogether and entirely to the condition
of affairs existing prior to the captula-
ton of Manila. Some of the newspapers
have applied his remarks to recent con-
ditions.
Mr.. Heath says that all readers Of
newspapers will recall that when Adj
miral Dewey sailed from Hong Kong to
destroy the fleet in the bay of Manila.
Aguinaldo and his staff were on board
the Olympia; that they We're most cor
daily received by Admiral Dewey, and
given every possible attention: that it
was the understanding that If there was
fighting on land at Manila Aguinaldo
and his soldiers were to be given place
with the American army, and they were
to bear arms against the Spaniards; also
that had there been continued fighting
on the part of the Americans against the
Spanish troops Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers would have been a part of the
American army, as was Garcia at San
tiago
Heath says that he should have more
properly used the word place instead
of commission in speaking of the I'M
derstanding as to what was to be done
with Aguinaldo. He affirms the belief
that had Agu;naldo remained true to the
United States there would have been no
war in the Philippines after the fall of
Manila. and that Aguinaldo to-day would
have a prominent part in the form of
government which would have existed
at present; and he believes that posi-
ton in the ruglar army would have I'LL
timately been the proper place for
Aguinaldo when the native troops, such
as are now enlisted in Porto Rico, We're
enrolled for the investment of the Phil
ippine islands.

rro.psrltr md Education.

From all over the country there are
reports that the enrollments at public
and private schools. from the primary
grades to the universities, are larger
this year than ever before. Some in
crease might have been expected as a
result of the steady growth of popula-
ton, but the marked gain noted this
season Is much more largely due to the
general prosperity of the country. Thus
the good times that have resulted from
wise national policies. from large crops
and from good markets not only bring
employment to all who seek It, not only
afford good investments for all who
have money to invest. not only increase
the earning power OF both labor and
capital and contribute to the comforts
and necessities of daily life, but they
open the way for more liberal educa-
tion. Children who had been forced to
earn something for the family are re-
leased from their employment and sent
to school. Young men and young
women who have had but limited op-
portunities for higher education now
find themselves able to attend the col
leges and universities. The benefits OF
prosperity are incalculable, but among
them one of the greatest is along edu-
cational lines.-Kansas City Journal.
