Rev. Savage breaches About Wall Street
and Announces Unusual
Views.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Rev.
Minot J. Savage Sunday at the
Church of the Messiah gave his
views of Wall street, and they
were not of the kind usually
heard when the street is referred
to in the pulpit.
Il wish, for the sake of the
difinition as to what constitutes
gambling, to venture to talk a
little about Wall street. | hear
Wall street referred to constantly
as place of indiscrlminate and
universal gambling, and the dan
ger is that young men will cite
Wall street as an example and
excuse their gambling.
What is Wall street? 1t is an
absolutely essential thing in a
great commercial civilization.
The work of the modern world
could not go on without a Wall
street; it is the great measurer
of values; properties all over the
world are listed in a center like
that, and are measured against
each other and their actual value
ascertained. Then it is a great
market, an essential market that
the worlds work may be carried
on. Property in Oregon, prop
erty in Central America, property
in South America that could fird
no market in Oregon, Central
America or South America may
find a market in Wall street: and
so the world becomes open to the
great beneficent transactions and
exchanges which make up the
commerce of the civilized world.
Through the great combina-
tioDs of capital, which are pcs
slble in Wall street, enterprises
al e entered upon and carried out
that it would be impossible to
put through in any other way;
and the brokers that carry on
these enterprises are inestimable
public servants. The great things
for which Wall street exists are
not gambling; they are legiti-
mate, and in every way neces
sary to carry on the processes of
modern civilization"

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 15-The
curse of gambling is alleged to
be running the homes Of scores
of ell-to-do citizens of Beaver
Falls, Pa.
Euchre parties are said to be
the subject of discourse to the
exclusion of every other subject,
and number of merchants and
professional men revolted.
They first went to Justice
William Piper and asked that
warrants be issued for the arrest
of the leading society women of
the town; Some of them being
Sp artans enough to include the
names of their own wives.
They said that euchre parties
were dragged into the church to
such an extent that one-half the
congregation was at loggerheads
with the other, and all kinds of
charges were being made OF
cheating at cards to gain mis-
cradle prize.
They also said they were be-
ing impoverished by their wives
to buy prizes.
They got no more cooked din.

FIGURATIvE
Language Of Christ Not To Be
Taken Literally.
What the Higher Criticism of the Bible
Has TO Say About the Teachings of
Jesus as Expressed in the New TeS-
lament Doctrine of NOn-ReSiStunCc.

CHICAGO, Jan. ia man is
not required to turn his left cheek
to be smitten by an adversary
who has struck him on the right
in order to obey the Bible teach
ing on the subject, according to
University of Chicago profes-
sors. These professors, who
have been applying the methods
of higher criticism to their study
of the Bible, have joined with
President W. R. Harper in an
article which has just been pub
lished, to the effect that Christ
did not intend all his statements
recorded ir the New Testament
to be taken literally.
1--WE are confronted with the
fact" says the article, "that some
of Christ's teachings are inter
preted in different and contra
dictory ways.
Take for instance the follow
ing: " Resist not him that is
evil; but whosoever smiteth thee
on the right cheek turn to him
the other, also." We are not to
suppose that the passage, s. But
thou, when thou prayest, enter
into thy closet and when thou
hast shut thy door pray to thy
Father which is in secret. means
to forbid public worship. Nor
are we to think that plans and
provisions for the future are for
hidden by the passage. There
fore, | say unto you, take no
thought tor your lie, what We
shall eat or what ye shall
drink: nor yet for your body,
what We shall put on" Nothing
but an absurdity results from an
attempt to take these teachings
literally. Christianity so inter
preted makes unreasonable de-
nands on men.
''The difficulty in understand
ing these passages arises from a
failure to take account the style
in which Jesus gave his teaching.
He chose style popular and
Oriental, and preferred to deal
with the masses in language they
could understand. Figurative
language, SMILES, metaphor and
hyperbolical expressions were
constantly on his lips.
I" Hence it becomes evident
that. when an act enjoined by
Christ is inconsistent with his
plain teaching or is in itself un-
reasonable or inefficient, one
should look to see whether his
language is to be understood fig
uratively. In his non resistance
doctrine Jesus means to inculcate
a principle that men should not
act from motives of revenge or
hatred"

EMPRESS NOW RULES CHINA
She Courts The Legations and Says She
Prayed for Their Safety.

PEKIN, Jan. 1.-The empress
dowager has assumed the reins
of government and there is in
disputable evidence that the en-
peror has absolutely no voice in
the administration. The empress
is making strenuous advances to
win the approval of the legations
and has sent them word that dur
ing the siege she was helpless
and in Prince Tuan's power, but
prayed daily for their safety,
burning incense She now longs
to see them.
Mrs. Conger is greatly pleased
because she thinks the empress
recognized her as the imperial
procession was entering the city.
The ladies of the legation are all
excited over the prospect of the
coming audience.
Orders have been given for the
reopening of the Imperial uni
versity, which will now absorb

for the suspicious raised by his
conduct in the Orient.
1t is now the move of the Unit
&c States and consultations are
being held as to the proper re-
ception to be given Prince Hen
ry. He will be dined and feted
at the White House and 1T is
probable that ball will be given
there in his honor. Whether he
will be the guest of the nation,
at the expense of the state de-
partment contingent fund, or
whether he will be the guest of
the German ambassador, has not
yet been decided.
When he arrives at New York
on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm or
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
ne will be greeted by ships of
the United States navy and be
escorted with great ceremony
into the harbor. Undoubtedly
some of the most powerful YES
sells of the United States navy
will be collected for the inspec-
tion of the prince, who is himself
an admiral in the German navy.
These vessels will also give the
Hohenzollern a cordial reception.
Altogether the impression that
the prince will receive is that
the United States is a naval more
than a military power, because
it will not be possible to mass
army troops here to give him an
idea of the strength of the United
States in that particular. He
will. however, have an opportu-
nifty to Sc the extent of the coun-
try by being feted in different
cities. Altogether it Is expected
that the visit of Prince Henry
will have the effect intended, of
promoting good feeling between
the two countries, and, what is
more important, of preserving
the peace.
