LETTER FROM GUATEMALA.
Details Of the Disastrous Central
American Earthquakes.

Sal, Lake, May ll.-In a letter dated
April 23d. Paul Henning. elder and rep
resentative OF the church in Guate-
mala, gives the following details OF
the disastrous earthquakes in that
country:
The whole northwestern region"
says Mr.. Hennine, "one OF the richest
In Central America. is In ruins. On
the evening OF the 18th OF April. about
$50. the first shock was felt. This
lasted from thirty TO forty seconds and
caused the widest panic. There was
no loss OF life In Guatemala City. and
the property damage was less than at
first feared. though walls We're cracked
all over the city, and many old houses
We're tumbled in ruins. Ever since
then the shocks have continued with
more or less violence.
The worst damage was done in the
city OF Quezaltenango. the second larg-

e,i from 5000 TO 6.ooo people were
killed. AT the time OF the firs, shock

raging. The electric lighting plant OF
the city had been disabled. and when
the people. panic-stricken by the rum
bling and shaking of the earthquake.
rushed from their houses. II was only TO
meet death. stumbling and falling in
the narrow winding streets. In total
darkness save when the lightning lii
up the stumbling city with an unearth-
ly glare. the people died by thousands
under the falling walls, while other
thousands We're caught like rats only
TO die OF suffocation or drowning. The
quaking and rain kept up continually
for three days. This made II almost
impossible TO do any effective relief
work, and as n consequence, now that
the hot weather again prevails, the
stencil from the thousands OF bodies
buried In the ruins is unbearnhle and
fears are entertained OF an epidemic.
Hundreds OF bodies probably never

been heard. These Were echoed from
st. Thomas on the north TO Barba-

ceased on Wednesday night. and fine
ashes fell like rain on St Pierre. The
inhabitants Were alarmed. but Cover

According to reports. there is a scan
DIAL connected with the coronation ba-
zaar which was held In London last
July. II was charity affair. 1t was
opened by the Queen, and a number OF
English ladies OF the highest social
standing, as well as American ladies'.
We're among the ministering spirits
that presided over the booths. The en-
trance fee was one pound sterling. but
the bazaar was well patronized, since
It Is not often that the public has such
chance 10 see high society at close
range. Now the accusation Is made
that the titled ladies who were suppos-
ed TO be working for charity put In
enormous expense bills which absorbed
the profits. and that they even annexed
many OF the valuable articles on exhi-
bltion without paying for them. That Is
a shocking charge. But the ruling pas
sion OF the age is the love of money,
and II Is not strange II that passion
should prove Itself domineering the
'robility," as well as the common"
people, Even some Of the princes OF
the churches aIe clearly In bondage in
the temple of Mammon.

long as he can gain a hearing In the
pulpit a Sunday morning, he is but too
much in evidence.
II will not be denied that modern the
clogy has Incorporated IN Its doctrine
Of evil, much error that needs cor
rectlon, But II must not be overlooked
that the New Testament clearly recog-
nizes the existence Of person In whom
is vested supreme evil power He 10
1.-The tempter," ''Beelzebub," THE
strong one" "the enemy" Satan
the old serpent" etc. The Scripture
idea Is, that this evil parsonage, though
a mighty ruler who is at war with God,
yet is In every respect inferior TO God,
both In power In knowledge and inilu-
ence, and that his destiny Is to become
conquered and cast out for ever, The
Scripture idea Of this evil power Is
therefore essentially different from that
OF pagan mythology, from which It
sometimes Is said to have been bor-
rowed. The Zoroastrlan devil was an
evil power equal with God in power
Man had to chose between the two. The
scrlptural system is not duallstlc, as Is
this. II recognizes evil onl, as some
thing transient, something accidental,
God Is the supreme Ruler. lie alone Is
everlasting. Good shall finally prevail
| But as yet, the devil is not dead.
