DIVINE CHRIST A NECESSITY.



y divine Christ is not only the gra-
tuitous gift Of the love OF God; He
is alSa the necessity of the human in
tel.ect ard the dire necessity of the
human heart Man has always known
this. and through all history we ind
him looking not within himself. but
looking without himself, and above
himself. fer his Redeemer. He has al
ways believed in a divine humanity,
in Savior who should be the perfect
fusion of the human and divine. The
Jews looked forward to a Messiah;
Greek poetry. Greek myth, Greek
philosophy is full to the brim with the
conception % Son of God. And to-
day. with all our science. with all our
practical philosophy of life, with all
our hard and prosaic materialism, the
spirit Of man demands something more
than the natural Bestow upon man
the whole world of things al wealth,
all power. all .honors all fame; be-
stow upon him the whole Garth and
the fullness thereof. yet he is not sat
isfied He reaches out toward a
higher good. There is divinity with
in him that claims the greater divinity
about HIM.
Now. why does a man look for a
Savior outside of himself: 1t is for
this reason. that man must have an
objective confirmation of the great
faith In the world eternal that he finds
In himself He believes in God, but
what witness has he that this belief
is Il reality He believes that there
is a providence that WiSely orders and
regulates and determines his life to-
ward rational and noble issues. But
what witness has he that this belief
IN divine providence is true? He be
lleves in celestial world; he believes
that beyond the world visible and ma
terai, the matter world that he can
see with his eyes and touch with his
hands. there is an invisible world,
the world our Lord had in mind when
lie told His disciples that in His ia
Tiers house there are many man
sions" But what evidence have we
that this faith of ours in an invisible
world Of ever-ascending and ever-in-
creasing glorles has any foundation in
reality?
Man cannot. no matter with what
vigor aud penetration he may think,
transcend the limits of the temporal.
And if his faith is TO pass out of the
domain of glorious Imagination, out
OF the domain of pure subiectivity; if
1t is to ,mpinge upon a fact-in other
words, IL il is 10 terminate upon an
objective reality-then it is quite clear,
at least quite necessary, that the eter
nal must emerge from the silence and
the secrecy of his own infnity. and
manifest himself. And the only way
In which lie can manifest himself 10
man-to the deepest intellect, to the
highest reason of MANS through
man. through the perfect man. And
when the divine speaks through the
perfect man we have the higher Christ,
the Jesus of history.

PLEADS HONESTY IN TRADE.
BY Rev. Or. T. q. Soar,

1t is often felt that it is difficult
to live a consistent Christian life, but
the difficulty chiefly arises from an at
tempt to half live the Christian life.
II is not hard to love the Lord with
all thy heart, but il is hard 10 love
the Lord and self at the same time. 1t
is not hard TO be true, honest end
pure But it is impossible TO he half
true or half pure.
There il v. such thing as compro-
mise in [ m.ral sphere \ half truth
is lie = Ialf patriot is a traitor
You canno . an adul;erated Chris
tianity. Not an you have an occa-
sional Christianity If a man seems
to conduct his business in the spirit
Of the highwayman and his religion
in the spirit of the saint he IS at
tempting an impossible compromise.

Canvass for Funds for
Union Mission Taken Up

Added obligations have been assum-
ed by the Union Mission in the decis-
ion to retain the Silvis home on Aiken
street occupied through the summer
by the institution, To be the winter
home also. The step was found neces-
sary when time came to consider re-
moval back to the old home on Eighth
street or else a number of the chill
dren that the mission had in charge
would have to be thrown back upon
those from whom they were taken.
The latter was a very difficult thing
to do in view of the fact that the lit
tie Gnes without exception had no one
who would care for them in the man
ner they shoHld be cared for. So it
was decided to renew the lease on the
Silvis home and the property of the
mission in the city was leased to Il
tenant.
During. the summer the mission has
cared for IS children, ana the num-
Der now on hand is larger than ever
before at this season. Some of the
children are orphans, or have been left
without any means of support what
ever, and others belong to mothers
who have to work and are not able
either to care for them themselves or
contribute to the entire cost of their
keep at the mission. So it happens
that the expenses of the institution
are heavier than usual, and Steps
must soon be taken to raise funds to
keep up the good work.

When Nesta Tilley, 1.-The best dress
ell man in London" is at the Garrick
theatre. Chicago. for her six weeks
engagement in the comedy, "Algy."
beginning Sunday evening. Oct. 4,
lovers of the play in this vicinity will
have their one and only opportunity
to see one of the most famous and ac-
complished of English artists. Miss
Tilley, who has not been in this
country since the season of 1S96-97,
can not return for at least s years
longer, for she has contracts which
will keep her in the London music
halls for that length of time. Miss
Tilley is unique in the amusement
world. While her fame rests primarily
on her ability as a male impersOnatOr.
she is scarcely less known as Il comedi-
enne. She has set fashions for Lon
don clubdom for a dozen years, even
EdYard VII, when he was Prince of
Wales, copying her garments. No man
on the stage or in society has ever
worn the garments of his sex with
the grace and distinction with which
Nesta Tilley does. Possessed of a
neat. pretty figure, just enough sug-
gestive of a mans, though not rugged,
she is the acme of refinement i'm the
foreign garb-something quite re-
freshing when the vulgarity of some
women who try to impersonate men is
considered. For purposes of "Algy"
Miss Tilley brought from England
with her. some brand new styles of
her own design. Men who like perfec-
ton in dress cannot afford to miss
seeing them. and they will all be on
review in the second act of the
sprightly comedy. Miss Tilley brings
attractions for her sisters. also. Al
though she never has appeared on
the stage in skirts. she is going to be-
gin doing SO in "'Algy." dividing her
time between them and trousers. In
the first and last acts she will show
some of the latest CONNECTIONS" from
the milliners and dressmakers of
Paris. ''Algy" would be well worth
seeing even without the presence of
Miss Tilley and her clothes. 1t is a
lively play, full of quaint. clean, unc-
tious humor. Written by one of the
foremost American playwrights, it
was designed TO afford an evening of
care-free, wholesome entertainment.

4 great deal of money is being spent
to make ready George Klmt's newest
PLAY which William l.. Roberts re-
Gently finished called "On the Bridge
at Midnight" As the scenic artists,
carpenters, property men, etc. are
now working on the production. it can
readily be seen that extensive ar
rangements are progressing for an
exceptional presentation of this play.
There are several very heavy scenic
novelties being built-the most diff
ticult to build and successfully operat-
ed being the big "Jack-knife" bridge,
which will be practical in every re-
spect and work just like those now
operating across the Chicago river. BY
the way. Chicago is the city Mr..
Roberts selected to write his story
around. The .'Jack-Knife" bridge OPP
is so different from anv
other kind that it cannot fail to at
tract great interest outside of the i'm
portance in the play and the sensa-
tional situation which is presented in
conjunction with it. There is genuine
comedy of the most wholesome kind
in every act, and every situation, eli
max, etc. is worked out in an original
and new Robertsonian manner. Klimt
has the most pleasing character OF
his career confronting the footlights,
