FOUNDED UPON TRUTH.
Father DoIaB DiTcrcntiates Faith
and scientiHc Investigation.

At st. Patrick Catholic Church yester-
day morning Rev. Father Dolan celebrated
mass and preached sermon from Romans
viii:2l-23 Father Dolan expressed his sur
prise that so many people v 40 believe that
the Catholic Church offers satisfaction and
salvation remain without the fold
There are many men said Father Do
Ian. who look upon faith as they look upon
science, and there are many who retain
their own Interpretation of the Scriptures
But we are commanded to believe the
teachings OF Christ, not because you have
analyzcd them and found them true, but
because they were promulgated by God
We must have faith and believe Christ's
word without scientific Investigation.
The scientific proposition and principle
OF science is to gather information. TO in
vestigate. to analyze and to establish the
truth upon the findings Of this lnvestiga-
ton. Ii is different with faith. We do not
have 40 collect data nor investigate, nor
analyze. as faith is founded on truth--it is
truth itself. II we de not believe supernat-
uraIly. we must believe naturally. and you
cannot get away from It. No matter how
scientifically a philosopher may argue. he
cannot get away from the force of creation
itself. from the overwhelming argument
OF his own birth. his life, and his death"

have suspended business and gone
10 their assistance. a United Breth-
rem Church was recently organized there
by the women, who undertook to erect
a house of worship. They exhausted all
their resources and had just enough money
to buy the material. After debating for
several weeks. they resolved TO do the
work themselves. and on Thursday they
put on old dresses and went to the site
with picks and shovels and worked In a
cold north wind throwing out dirt.
All day they continued their labor. oniy
stopping to get dinner for their families.
Yesterday morning when they arrived they
found a large company Of men OF the town

dered. and the women announce that they
will complete the building without the
further aid Of men il necessary.

THE CREATION OF MAN.
Rev. George +. Dudlcy's Definition of
Gods Image.

The Rev. George F. Dudley, OF St
Stephens Church, Columbia Heights.
preached yesterday morning to a large and
attentive congregation a sermon from the
text, God created man in his own image"
Genesis i:27.
In the introduction to his sermon Mr..
Dudley drew a comparison between the
lives OF beasts and of men. Continuing,
he stated what he considered the defini-
tion OF Gods image was. mot only the
mere perfection of moral lie. but in a
great measure all that side OF his nature
which ,transcends the mere animal attrib-
utaS; Whatever we call distinctively man
IL; Whatever marks fundamental difference
between man and the brute. comes upon
him not by reason of higher surroundings
and habits or the result of long develop
ment, but from a distinct act OF God when
he made man in his own image"
He further stated that every sin COM
mitted by man was a sin in the soul and
its effects were fan reaching. The same
was true Of every good deed. and that tae
gentle disposition. the charitable heart.
and unselish nature make themselves
known through the outward gesture, ap-
pearance and act.

THE INFLUENCE OF CHRIST.
An Interesting Discourse by the Rev
Samuel II. Greene

The influence which the presence CT Je-
sus Christ has upon our lives was the
subject of an Interesting discourse yester-
day morning at Calvary Baptist Church iy
the Rev Samuel II. Greene, the pas or.
The Bible story of the appearance Of
Christ to Simon and Andrew while iishir s
in the Sea of Galillee vas the basis OF
the sermon. the argument of which was
that whenever we feel the inspiration OF
the divine presence Ee cease what we are
doing and follow him. The text was taken
from Mark I:is-l7: Now as he walked
by the Sea of Galillee he saw Simon and
Andrew bis brother casting a net into
the sea. for they were fishermen. And.
straightway, they forsook their nets and
followed him
Before entering upon the discussion OF
his text, DR.. Greene in prayer appeaie
to his congregation not TO estimate them
selves according TO their own littleness.
but by the standard OF goodness and great
ness which God has set upon us. and that
we may not be satisfied with anything less
than the great possibilities for which
God has fitted us. He also besousht his
hearers to be guided by the star CT hope
and faith in order that We may finally
become part OF his life. through the ex-
Christ.
In developing his text, DIR. sGreene said
that humanity is generally inspired by the
lives Of some CT those whom we see around
US. No life. he said. has so inspired the
world as that of the NaZarene; his ve.y
presence seems TO inspire all. and chal-
lenge them to strive to win back the lost
to God. His presence is the light and
life of the world and when he passes
among us We all look up; his passing is
like to US IS the dawn of the morning
and his presence a rebuke TO sin. There
arc times in our lives when we are more
liable to the influence ard touch OF our
friends. and at such times it makes i
world of difference TO us who passes into
cur lives. This was true of the lives o.
Simon and Andrew. who. when Christ APP
pearei TO them, forsook their nets and
thenceforth became fishers for mems s3u 5
instead of fish.
at is the vision Of the divine DIR.
Greene continued. which sets the seal en-
our lives and makes them what they may
be and makes sin recoil. 1t is not enough
that We are honest sons OF toll. or that
we may have a feeling or religion in cur
hearts. We must be followers OF Christ
in the manner in which he spoke to 81
mon and Andrew. Come We after me ard
ye will become fishers of men,

An Attack of Hcnrt Disease n Mat.
ter of Serious Concern.

Mrs Thomas c. Plat. wife OF the senior
Senator from New York is i'll with heart
trouble at the Arlington Hotel. and her
condition rs regarded as serious. Mem
bers OF her family and the attending
physician are constantly at her bedside.
Mrs. Platt's illness is but one OF a
series Of attacks from which she has SUI
fered for number of years. The physi-
clans fear that the fatty degeneration of
the heart has become chronic. The mem
bers OF Mrs. Platt's family are hopeful
that this is not true. but there Is great un-
casiness because of her condition. 1t was
reported Saturday that Mrs. Plat was not
expected to live. and that her two sons,
Frank II. Plat and Harry Il. Plat. had
been sent for TO New York.
Harry h. Plat stated Saturday night
that this report was entirely unfounded
and that his moher was not regarded TO be
in critical condition. He said that he
had received word from his father that his
mother was not at all dangerously i'll. AS
to the nature OF her illness, ! cannot state
exactly. but think it is nothing worse than
an attack of the grip. Had / thought my
mothers Illness serious. | should certsinly
have gone to Washington today he said
when seen at his residence on West Sew
enty-sixth Street. New York. Saturday
night.
Mrs. Platt's condition was reported last
night as slightly improved.

through his helping hand only can redemp-
ton be attained. THE touch of Christ was
the touch of purity. the touch of sympathy.
the touch of power said the speaker. 1T
is the only touch that can reach the human
Eeart. for it is the touch of sympathy that
the human only can be susceptible to, and
through il only can he be healed OF sin"
He argued that the bad in man was not
always the most apparent to the divine eye
for the good was always looked for, and of
this he said:
Christ. the incarnate God. always sees
the best there is in man" Troubles taken
to the Saviour in the confidence of holy
sympathy will never be east aside, but. like
unto the lepers. the sin will BIC taken away
and salvation reached through the only
MediaiOr OF mankind.

ans election would result in disaster

ultimately must refuse to aid or lend
comfort in any way to doctrines which
