THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY.
DR.. Mcleod Gives Interesting Sta
tistics of the Bibles Distribution.

AT the First Presbyterian church YES
terday morning Rev. Dr. James Nc
Leod preached upon THE Book of the
Century One hundred and twenty
years ago Voltaire had said that in 100
years the Bible would be a forgotten
book. In 1904 the British and FOREIGN
Bible society was organized: in 1876,
the American Bible society: today 73
Bible societies exist and they have.
within the century. distributed $50 OOO,-
900 copies of the Scriptures in Whole or
part, which does not include the millions
of copies of OXfords and special editions
sold in the regular channels of trade.
In Christian England in the thirteenth
century working mans average wage
was 4 cents a day and the cheapest
Bible cost $50. SO that he might toll for
lifetime and not save enough TO buy
copy of the Word Today we'll
printed Bibles sell for 10 cents apiece,
and the most ordinary workingman can
from days savings afford one copy
for himself and one for a friend.
incidentally DR.. Mcleod paid his re-
spects to those critics of predestina-
ton who misinterpret the Westminster
confession. All that that doctrine
means, he said, is that the omnlscient
God knows in advance the number of
mortals who shall be saved. To deny
this is to dispute Gods omniscience.

THE WORD GOSPEL.
Rev. James Hughes Told the Mean
ing Of It in the Second Presby-
terian Church Last Night.

Rev. James Hughes. who is in charge
OF the Adams avenue chapel of the
Second Presbyterian church, spoke in
the latter temple of worship last night,
having exchanged pulpits with the pas
tor, Rev. Charles f. Robinson, D. d.
Rev. Hughes took as his text Mark,
Ills, THE beginning of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God" and
Il indeed have baptized you with
water: but he shall baptize you with
the Holy Spirit" Among other things,
he said:
What is the meaning of the word Cos
pei? 1t means good news. 1t is both good
and new. 1t is the newest thing in the
world. In these modern times of ours
there is a deal of novel reading done by
all classes of people, both young and old
But the best of these novels become in
few years old, dry, unintcresting and sap
less. The gospel, however, never grove
old. 1t is one of the oldest of all books
and is yet the newest. There is a percn-
NAL newness about it that makes its
study delightful and instructive to even
the greatest minds.
When we speak of the Gospel we mean
the New Testament This is divided into
four Gospels each of which, however, is
the Gospel and contains in itself enough
of the truo word to save any many
These four Gospels each possess different
characteristics.
Taking the Gospel of Matthew we have
the Gospel of the King. In this Gospel
jesus is presented as the king OF men
and angels, the glorious monarch of the
world. This might be termed the royal
gospel. Taking next the Gospel of Luke
We have the Gospel of Jesus the man.
Jesus the human, Jesus the universal. In
one of the chapters of this Gospel Christ
Is referred to as the Son of man. man
meaning, of course, in this instance, the
human family.
Taking next the Gospel of st. John we
find its leading characteristic or keynote
to be the eternal Sonship of Christ. In
the beginning was the word and the word
was God, We read The fourth and last
Gospel, that of Mark might be called
the Gospel of Jesus the servant. In this
Gospel we are told that Jesus worked in
the carpenter shop of His foster father
Joseph, thus stamping the mark of dig
nifty for all time upon labor. In this
Gospel we are shown clearly that Jesus
came not to be ministercd unto to TO
minister unto us. instead.
IT we weave together the different and
varying characteristics of these four Cos
pels and place ii in our heart and before
our intellect we have a splcndor, rich
ness and glory existing in no other
work.

daughter of a minister and lived on
River street, on the South Side. When
O'Boyle married her she was known
as Mrs. James Chester and was the
mother of a little girl. Chester. ac-
cording to the wife's story, was killed
in Washington by a falling tree and
his remains inferred at his former
home in Richmond, Ind.
THE SEPARATION.
After a brief married life the
O'Boyles became estranged and she
had him arrested for desertion. At
the hearing before Judge Edwards last
January the husband put in a defense
that she was not his legal wife, and
in support of this allegation produced
a letter from Chester's sister in which
in was stated that Chester's remains
had not been inferred in Richmond,
and, as far as the relatives knew, he
was still living
A few weeks ago Judge Edwards
made an order directing that O'Boyle
pay his wife $40 a month, saying that
the question of the legitimacy of their
marriage must be determined in pro-
ceedings other than a prosecution for
desertion. Divorce proceedings insti-
tuted by O'Boyle were pending at the
time.
Letters and affidavits tending to sup
port the charge of bigamy and other
offenses against his wife were found
in O'Boyle's pocket.
The remains of O'Boyle were taken
in charge by Undertaken Patrick Cusicll
and removed to his former home, iO1
Pittston avenue, from where the funeral
took place yesterday afternoon. At
o'clock the casket was closed and the
funeral procession moved to the Cathe-
dral cemetery, where interment was
made
