BAPTIST ATTACK.
Faculty Of Chicago University
Under Lash Of Dean Henson.

Chicago. Jan. es-The University OF
Chicago is now denounced by a thcolo-
gian high i'm the denomination which con-
trolls IL as a place where scepucism is
manufactured and where orthodoxy is
overthrown.
The attack. which Is made by Dr. r..
s. Henson Dean OF the Baptist minis
try. was caused by an attempt by Presi-
dent Harper and his professors to har-
monize religion and science. Said DR..
Henson today:
prof Barnes Is quoted as saying a
student must be a sceptic-must doubt In
order TO learn something. This is the
same kind OF argument Satan made in
the Garden Of Eden in regard 20 the tree
OF good and evil
"Dr. Harper emphasizes the fact that
the literature of twenty nations contains
the story OF the deluge, that many of
these accounts are older than that Of the
Bible, and that this fact is likely 10 dis
credit the bible whereas Il Is a positive
confirmation.
when Dr. Harper says that the day
mentioned I'm Genesis was only twenty
four hours long he goes beyond the rec
ord. He says we find that ont by study
ing what goes before and what follows.
but many Of the foremost Hebraists OF
the world dispute Dir. Harpers contention
in this regard.
Prof. Goodspeed makes = remarkable
statement when ne saws God did not in
splrc Bible writer's to make their scien-
tihc statements. but only inspired them
I'm their religious declarations. How lac
discovered that fact IL = question.
Prof Barnes says that 10 primitive
man the working OF natural law was di-
vine because he supposed Il was brought
about nv the hand Of God Science. how

SOCIALISM
SUBJECT OF
ENCYCLICAL
Pope Leo XIII. Explains Differ.
encs Between That Theory
and Christian Democracy.

Rome, Jan 2S-The following is a sum-
mary of the Pope's encyclical on social
ism. dated January is;
The Pope begins with recalling HIS two
previous encyclicals on social questions
"Quod Apostolic Numers" and 'Rerum
Noyarum," and says the sequel of these
encyclicals was that the Catholics de-
voted all their activity TO social works,
in order TO help the working classes.
Here the Pontif reviews all that has
been done I'm this direction--the founda-
tion OF labor bureaus, funds established
for the benefit OF the rural classes and
worlingmens associations OF all kinds
lie considers tho appeIlstion Christian
socialism Incorrect. and says Catholics
who occupy themselves with social ques-
tions are sometimes also called Chris
tian democrats" But even this qualifi-
cation is attacked by some people ar be-
ing astounding. Divergences having arisen
therefrom, the Pope srdently desires 10
eliminate them.
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY DEFINED.
Careful distinction must be drawn be-
tween socialism and Christian democracy.
The first concerns itself solely with ma
terial possession, always seeking TO es-
tablish perfect equality and common
holding OF goods. Christian democracy,
on the contrary, respects the principles
of divine law, and while seeking mate
rial amelioration has i'm view the spiritual
welfare OF the people.
Christian democracy, moreover. must
not be COMPOUNDED with political de-
mocracy, for the first can and ought 10
subsist as does the church herself, un-
der the most varied political regimes.
Christian democracy ought also To re-
spect the laws OF legitimate civil author
ity. Tho sppellation ''Christian demo-
cracy' therefore contains nothing which
might offend anyone.
These divergences having now been dis
PEELED. Catholics should continue TO de-
vote their cares 10 social questions and
the amelioration of the lot OF the work
ing elasses- The Pope encourages the
zeal and action OF those Catholics who
consecrate themselves TO this eminently
useful work.
GIVING OF AIMS EULoGIZED.
The encyclical euiogizes the giving Of
aims which the socialists wrongly re-
gard as insulting TO the poor. Aims, on
the contrary. serve 10 tighten the ties OF
social charity. IL matters little whether
this action of Catholics in favor OF the
working classes is called the social ac-
tion of Catholics or Christian democracy.
The essential point is that Catholics
should act together to preserve the COM
munity of effort and sentiment. Idle,
useless questions ought. therefore, never
To be brought up In the press or public
assemblies Catholics must act so as
not TO engage in disputes.
In conclusion, the Pontif exhorts Catho-
lies TO inspire themselves with these
principles and TO inculcate them. They
must urge the people and workmen 10
shun everything invested with sedi-
tious or revolutionary character. respect
the rights of others, be respectful 10 their
masters and observe sobriety and religious
practices. Thus will social peace sgain
become fourlshing throughout the world

''OPENED DOORS" +"
Eloquent Address by Rev. G.
4 ConlbsaT Last Evening.

Rev. c.. A. Conibear pastor OF the
ing spoke on Opened Doors of the New
Century" and the doors upon which he
spoke most emphatically were those of
knowledge, learning, acquaintance with
men and nations. knowledge of the mar
velous powers OF nature, and lastly, the
opened door of the library of the word
of God.
lie said i'm part: To-day the door of
the great university of the world Ia
opened 10 all men, sour morning papers
inform us daily of current events the
world over, books of travel and travellers
themselves acauaint US with the customs
and life Of all nations. The Isolation OF
the past can no longer be.
This past century has also witnessed
the door of nature opened, 80 as TO let
man enter and take possession. Fully rs
per cent. of the great inventions by
which the forces of nature have come un-
der mans subjection, have been made
during the past century.
This marvellous acquaintance OF men
with men and with the forces of nature
has accrued naturally to the development
of civilization.
"But in addition to the opened doors
OF learning. OF the forces OF nature. etc.
there If also the great opened door OF the
library or the Word OF God. ] mean the
SO books OF the Bible.
I'm measure these books have been
opened in past centuries. but never so
much as now. Today we rejoice I'm the
open Bible. but till the opening Of the
past century II was n sealed book.
Lastly there is the opened door OF
service i'm the church, which was un-
known till the past century,
NOW we witness II in manifold ways,
IN philanthropy. I'm missionary work, i'm
Sunday schools, and I'm different forms of
instruction for the youth. All these are
our heritage from the centuries Of the
past"

his injuries.
The Hunters live one mile below River

noise which he supposed was made by his
dog scratching at the front door to be
let in.
Mr.. Hunter opened the door and was
instantly attacked by two men. one OF
them had a large chisel, the other big
file. with which they severely cut his
arms and breast. A blow from the chiscl
almost severed his right hand.
Mr.. Hunter who had grappled hercely
with the intruders. was forced to loosen
his hold. whereupon one OF the men
struck him with shovel, Telling him.
THIRD BURGLAR OUTSIDE.

Mrs. Hunter who had followed her hus-
band and watched the struggle. almost

tunity to get him 10 the bedroom. Fear
lent her strength and she carried her hus-
band 10 the bed.
Then the aged woman ran to the kit
chen and brought two large table knives.
which she laid beside her husband on the
bed. Next she got his revolver from the
bureau drawer. propped him up i'm bed
and put the pistol in his right hand. The
bed was so placed that the old man could
cover the door OF the room with the wea-
