CANT OF CRITICISM
Mr.. Albert Benjamin West was the first
speaker and delivered an Grafton entitled,

True criticism Is rational and is there

won for Mr. West the CASTOR medal for
excellence in oratory.
MR.. BROWNS GRAFTON.
Following Mr. West. Mr.. Morris Brown
delivered an Grafton on the Development
OF the Conception OF God on Prophetic
Writings"
In substance the address was as follows:
THE most prominent contribution of
modern thought is undoubtedly the .6n-
ception that our universe is the result
Of progressive Development This is a
law not only of the physical world. but
also OF philosophy. literature and the
social Organization.
Only i'm religion Is the principle unem-
ployed. This is natural and vet the dis
tinction is unwarranted. In religion also,
there are traces OF an evolutionary pro-
cess. There Is no other field that offers
so good a field for the testing OF this la w.
because here nothing entered but the re-
ligious experiences. The religion of the
Bible is not the result of abstract phil
osophic reflection, nor of poetic imagi-
nation. nor of any political system. 1t
was the fruit OF special genius for relig-
ion aspirations, the special gift OF the
Hebrew race. Hence the value Of the
Bible is immense I'm opportunity for the
study OF religion i'm isolation from all
else.
The great religious teaching OF the
Prophet Isaiah is that God is one univer-
sal. and an ethical and spiritual being.
All these thoughts are certainly contained
IN the Old Testament. Not IN each and
every book thereof In the earlier writ
ngs there is no more spirituality than
there Is in the heathan divinities I'm the
intercourse with Adam and Noah. God Is
no less anthropomorphic than are the
mythical gods of the classic races
In the patriarchal and in the later mar
ratives we find the same primitive ideas
Here he traces the relationship between
God and man i'm the early history. shar-
ing In intimate relations. favors and as
sistance, and the belief in the guiding
hand OF Jehovah. showing that here also
he Is tribal deity. and anthropomor
phic.
Continuing he said Amos was the first
one to contend against the tribal notion
and the imperfect ethical conception OF
God AMOS said Gods relation to man

with environment This proves the evo-
lutionary theory OF the religious as well
Of the physical world
We have not attained to the final and
absolute truth yet i'm other fields and so
also i'm religion We must keep our minds
and hearts open to receive still higher
and nobler conceptions Of God
A short intermission followed with the
rendering OF several musical selections.

With tears in her eyes a pretty little
girl who has found a home with friends
on Washington street, called upon
Sergeant Bickford yesterday afternoon
and told him that a family on Jackson
avenue had made her life so uncomfort-
able that she had come to him to take
her part. This Mr.. Bickford was only
too willingly and ready to do.
The girl told her story which was that
some time ago her father and mother
had practically left her alone I'm the
world. and when but little more than
a baby she had been sent to the school at
Oakland ON one occasion the man at
the head OF the Jackson avenue family
where she was sent on an errand made
advances that were not to her liking.
Since then when she has been Obliged
TO pass the house OF this family she has
been subjected to all sorts OF abuse.

the home OF the Jackson avenue family
and left orders that will. no doubt. he
obeyed. II II is not there will be trouble
