SAYS ATHEISM IS PASSING AWAY
DIR. CARSON DECLARES IT IS POSSIBLE TO
HAVE A SHORTENED CREED AND A
STRENGTHENED FAITH

The Rev. DIR. J. f Carson preached yesterday
morning in the Central Presbyterian Church
Brooklyn, from the text. We know in part and we
prophesy in part" In the course of his sermon DR.
Carson said:
There is less atheism In the world to-day than
mere was NIFTY years ago Atheism is becoming a
thlhg OF the past The people who are atheistcally
inclined to-day are stopping at agnoSticism This is
not a distinction without a difference Atheism is
qlsunct and definite denial; it is stout and stub
and hating unbeef. In our day there arc two
types of agnosticism
ana the. result Of an uncertain tone of morality.
Moral certainty and tness give its to the
mind so that il takes hold of truth with a deter
mind that if il takes hold of truth at all IL Will
be in an rresoiute sort of way.

type that leans toward belief Perhaps it is unfair
to call it agnostcism. 1t is doubt. but it is doubt

of doubt have been abandoned Men are seekers

A FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION.
TWO Mel Killed and n Score Badly
Injured Is the Result of
Thawing Dynamite.

Denver, Col, Nov. FLA special to
the News from Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
George Sanders and Pat McCue were
killed and a number of other men Sc
riously injured by the explosion Of
dynamite at Elmore's grading camp
on the Sherman Hill cutoff of the
Union Pacific yesterday. One of the
injured will die.
Sanders and McCue were thawing
sticks of dynamite around a camp fire,
when the stuff exploded. Sanders
was blown to pieces, and bits of his
flesh were scattered in all directions
McCue's face was torn away, and he
received internal injuries. The explo.
sion tore a big hole in the ground
and flying rocks did great damage. A
narrow gauge engine and seTeral cars
| which were standing on a sidetrack
near the camp fire, were demolished,
and the engineer and fireman slight
ly hurt. A score of laborers were
standing around the camp at the time
of the explosion, and it is a miracle
that all were not killed. Their in
juries consist principally of broker
arms and legs and bruises where thu
flying pieces of rock struck them.
