CHRISTIANITY FOR THE WORLD.
Il. f. spcer Addresses the Y. VI. c. A.
Meeting at Chase's Theatre.

The feature of the public meeting Of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
held at Chase's Theatre yesterday after
noon at O'Clock. was the address of Mr..
Robert E. Speer Secretary of the Board
of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church.
In his remarks, Mr. speer said there
are two views which men may take of the
Christian world and their relation to it.
The first. he said, is the view that Chris
tianity does not concern them, and that
they have no use for religion. The see
end is the responsible view, the view
which embodies sympathy. brotherhood.
and human care He said in part:
I'VE live In world of great physical.
social, and moral need. When Christ
came into this world, the first thing he
did was to clean up the rotten morals of
the people. The same thing needs to be
done today to an even greater degree. The
Eastern peoples, such. for instance, as
the inha bitants of Persia and some parts
of India, are living in the vilest and most
degrading ferns OF sin, surrounded by
the most degrading circumstances.
The world cannot be redeemed by pO-
liticaI institutions. There is no redeem
ing power in our political organza lions
J.
peoDIes in their own political institutions
or in their own faith. What Christ came
TO do nearly 2,000 years ago should be
done today.
If the SepOy rebellion should break
out in India today. it would be the same
as the former one. MOI one heart would
heat true TO the British Government or
the Western ideas.
1t is our duty 10 bring together Christ
and his offers. on the one hand. and the
world and its needs on the other"

ITEM NOT IN CONTRACT.
Carpenter Not Required to Lay
Flooring In School Building.


The long controversy over flooring in
the carpenter shop in the basement of tho
new Manual Training School building has
been settled In favor of the contractor.
Colonel Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, has forwarded the papers in the
case TO his associates, with the recon-
mendation that Mr.. Speir be not required
to place flooring in the basement without
further compensation.
Colonel Biddle states in his rocommen-
dation that it must be distinctly under
stood that the action of the Commission
ers is based on the plea of the contractor
that as the item was not mentioned in
both the specifications and the drawings
II was not part of the contract. Colonel
Biddle states that the board is of the
opinion that the manner in which it was
indicated on the drawings was not suf-
ficiently clear, so that there was a possi-
bility of the item not being taken into
account when the bids were submitted.
Colonel Biddle says that it is not in
tended by this action to alter in any re-
spect the practice of the department in
holding that when so specified the plans
and the specifications must be read to-
gether and that all work mentioned in
the one and not referred to in the other
must be considered as called for by both

PROGRESS IN RELIGION.
Rev. Joseph Dawson Addresses the
Congregation of ST. Paurs.

Rev. Joseph Dawson Addresses the
Congregation of ST. PnuI's.
Progress is the normal condition o.
life is the view enunciated by Rev Jo-
seph Dawson, of Boston University, who
preached at st. Paul's Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Fifteenth and Streets
northwest, yesterday morning Rev. Daw-
son selected his text from Deuteronomy:
ii:2:
''Ye have compassed this mountain long
enough, turn northward."
Rev. Dawson's sermon was a plea for
greater progress in spiritual as well as
material things. He said:
"One great distinction of the modern
period is the great number of scientists
who are always making progress along
their various lines. They never rest;
they are always expecting and working
for new things.
What is true in the material realm
should be more SO in the spiritual realm
We should not be satisfied with what we
have attained. but should be always ex-
pecting something new"
Mr.. Dawson referred to Remains saying
that religions always needed something
pilgrimage. new revelation" He said
that this was true not as Renan meant it,
but in the highest sense.
Religions do need something new
They need new interpreters of old truths,
! and new viewpoints from which TO look
at things.
We need new knowledge TO keen
abreast of the new revelations and great
convictions that God is always forcing
on his church.
We need new hope that our lives may
become strong, serene, and beautiful, as
| If the hope that dwelt in the apostles
/ heart was ours. We need the divine en-
| thusiasm of the apostle
we need new experiences. Experience
| is life, and we cannot develop and grow
| spiritually any more than We can physi-
! cally without new experiences"
Mr.. Dawson told Of the Italian MOSAIC
| workers, whose eyes are so trained that
| they can perceive 80 C0O colors, and of the
musicians, who can distinguish the six
| tieth part of note. Referring TO the
possibilities before the coming man. when
! the heart and conscience shall have be-
/ one so developed as the eyes and ears
! of these artists, he said
What shall we not expect when the
! conscience ard the heart become so de-
| veloped, enlarged and expanded as TO
| discover thousand Things that are not
now dreamed Of? And what will he the
| ultimate effects of this Development on
| the human character
Referring again to the lesson taught

We must not live in the past. There is

of the problem this side of making the
collection and disposal of ashes a mu-
nicipal service. That has been the end of
complaint and controversy in many of the
large cities of the country, and it is no
ticeable that when once they have adopt
ed that plan they seldom GO back to doing
the work by private contract.
Mr.. Warner Stutler. the Superintendent
of Street Cleaning, who has supervision
over the ash service, holds to this opin
ion. In speaking of the matter recently,
he said that If the force of collectors was
directly under him the greater part of
the causes of complaint he could control.
He sa W the most important thing was
that the ashes should be collected and
gotten out of the way with as little
trouble to the householder as possible
and with as little cost to the municipal
ity as practicable.
Tendencies Under Contract.
Mr.. Stutler admits that the tendency
all the while is for the private contrac-
tor to do only the work that he is Obliged
to do under his contract. 1t is not to be
expected, Mr.. Stutler says, that the con-
tractor will be very largely inspired by
public spirit
Mr. Stutler points with pride to the en-
tire success of the hand sweeping of the
S'isS'" oy hiuhiclpdt eInplOseS, anu lie
belleves that the collection of ashes and
miscellaneous refuse could be better done
by the municipality than by private con-
tract.
Mr. Stutler says that, Of course, moth
ing can be done along this line until the
present contract expires, about three
years hence, but when the time comes to
make new contract he thinks that the
District would do well to organize it's
own ash and refuse collection force and
conduct the business thereafter as mu-
nicipal enterprise

Supervision of the work.
The Metal Receptacle.

The reason which actuated the De
partment in requiring the use OF metal
receptacles for ashes was the danger from
fire when ashes are put in wooden boxes.
There were also the other ideas of
cleanliness and uniformity OF the re-
ceptacles to he handled by the collectors.
This requirement has aroused great
opposition on the part of the people. and
has given rise TO endless ridicule in let
tors written 10 the Commissioners. The
average man does not readily see the diff
ference to the collector between Il wooden
box filled with ashes weighing forty
pounds, and "A tin can OF the same weight
The safety from fire and the matter OF
cleanliness do not appeal 10 the house
keeper for she knows from long expert
ence that there is little danger from fire
by putting ashes in hox, and she fur
ther knows that an ash can is just about
as dirty after 1t has been used month
as a wooden box is.
The average resident of the District
does not believe that the ash service will
admit Of the wearing of a Tuxedo coat
and z white tie while ON his rounds. how
ever esthetic the regulations of the de
partment may be. The hard headed
American citizen who has no right OF

collection of ashes too nice.
