Two of his relatives passed through

Tuesday morning he passed unnotic-

TO Msusdale. Mrs. j. H. Shultz of
that place had driven to this city, and
on her way home passed him. Some
time after her arrival he presented
himself at her door and asked for some.
thing to eat. AS it was about dinner
time and he was invited to remain for
the meal. The family noticed his pecu-
liar actions and appearance. He gave
no name, and entered into no conversa-
tion. From some blood spots Oh his
clothes. he appeared to have had n
fall. After dinner he thanked Mrs.
Shultz and started toward Washing.

the day when the Morning News coh.

lily discovered who the man was. He
tailed with the description in every
respect, the most prominent features
being the missing tooth. the red hair

Toward evening he arrived in Wash

mate; Ten Commandments Had
Gradual Growth"

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 49,
Leaning far out over the pulpit in
Appleton Chapel, his long white beard
and flowing gown making him look
like veritable patriarch, DR.. Lyman
Abbott, in a sermon to Harvard stu
dents tonight broke away from the
theology which to-day forms the basis
of the faith of millions of orthodox
Christians and sounded the keynote of
a new religion founded, not on the
Bible, but on science and the out
reachings of the human heart.
81 wonder" he said, eff you stu.
dents in Harvard will understand me
when I say that 1 no longer believe in
a great first cause. Tomorrow the
newspapers will get hold of this and
brand me as hereto. My God is a
great and ever-present force, which is
manifest in all the activities of man
and all the workings of nature.
81 believe in God who is in and
through and of everything-not an
absentee God, whom we have to reach
through Bible or priest or some
other outside aid, but God who is
closer to us than hands or feet. Sci
ence, literature and history tell us
that there is one eternal energy, that
the Bible no longer can be accepted
as ultimate, that many of its laws
were copied from other religions, that
the Ten Commandments did not
spring spontaneously from Moses, but
were, like all laws, gradual growth,
and that man is a creature, not Il
creation.
"No thinking man will say there
are many energies. The days of poly
theism are past. There is only one
energy. That energy has always
been working. 1t is an intelligent
energy. No scientist can deny it.
1t was working before Christ's time,
even as it is now. For three years
the clouds broke and the light flashed
through. Then they closed again.
yet God has personality. We
recognize it as we recognize the per-
sonaIity of a Titan or an Angel.
Only God is always working, always
creating, whereas their work is done.
God stands near us. The mother of
a deaf, dumb and blind child gives
her daughter one, two, three gifts
without being recognized. Finally
there breaks through the child's in
telligence the fact that these gifts, so
kind, so loving, spring from the same
source. 1t feels the mothers hands
and face, then throws its arms around
her neck and kisses her. Even so
we, ever in the presence of God, come
to realize His proximity and love.
God makes for good, mans progress
is progress upward, each day is
better than the first -

Official Warning.

DR.. Benjamin LeN, secretary OF the
State Board of Health, has sont copies
of resolution recently adopted by
the board broadcast through the State,
warning persons against the use of i'm
pure water during the present drought.
The resolution states that during
the drought and for three weeks fol-
lowing the next heavy rainfall disease
germs will lurk in all water that has
not been thoroughly filtered or boiled,
or both.
1t is hoped By members of the board
that the publicity which is being Civ
Ell the resolutions will lead all persons
to exercise great care in the use of
water and thus prevent an outbreak OF
disease. Many water companies
through the State are compelled to
pump water direct. giving no oppor-
tunity for publication by sedimenta,
tiou, and this affords opportunity for
germs to hold high carnival.
