Many Misunderstood.

Surely we should not conclude of such a man, with such career, except upon clear and overwhelming evidence, that in the gray maturity of his days he has professed "infidelty'' and taken his stand with the enemies of the cross of Christ! And have we such evidence? Has any body such evidence? If so, I have not seen 1t, nor heard of it. Let us remem- Der that it has been. the fate of all the greatest preachers and teachers of the generations to be misunderstood. Not one of the greatest has escaped. from the present time back to Isaih, Elijah, Moses. And the reason for this is quick ly told. No man can be truly great teacher without teaching something that the mass of his fellow-men are not quite prepared for-something that they have to be prepared for by the great teacher
 Of all who undertake to Tighten and lead, the theologian Is, perhaps, most ike ly to be misunderstood and excite grave fears and apprehensions on the part of his contemporaries. So obvious are the reasons that I need not pause to specify them here
 The Rev. Dr. Abbott is not the only eminent theologian who has been misun- derstood. as I think, in this generation and branded with the charge of infidelty or heresy. He is but one among a num- Der. Less than five years ago the Rev. Dr. Rainsford, who ministers to over five thousand communicants In New York City, was read outside the pale of Chris tian faith by more than a hundred cler- pymen of the diocese of Pennsylvania.

He kissed the book and replaced it
reverently. In week it would no

So much the better for that other

But on the west side of the church,

She was standing by the large, white

greatness as master Of Drelling. 1t

OF course, she lay in the old church
yard.
She looked up, and at once moved
toward him, and there was that in her
face which constrained him to wait
for her. The impulse TO steal away in
the other direction was instantaneous
on seeing her; but so, also, was her
movement toward him.
He waited for her and smiled.
Yes, he would give her the key, if
she would take it.
But she spoke first, offering him her
hand.

rapidly; ''and l want you to believe

ty detectives made a sensational de-
scent upon five Offices on fremont
street, where it is alleged illegal OPP
erations have been performed on an
extensive scale, and, although the
raid did not result in any arrests, the
police found considerable material
which they think will aid them In
the future.
In each place photograph was
taken of the rooms and of the In
-struments found. Hundreds of people
blocked traffic on fremont street dur:
ing the raids, and for hours after
wards the impression was general that
another girl had met death in one
of the hospitals, and that the police
had caught the criminals.
The action Of the police was the re-
suit of the disclosures which have
come to light recently in connection
with the death of Susanna Geary, the
victim of the suit case tragedy, whose
death followed an illegal operation al
legged to have been performed In the
Office of Mrs. DR.. Jane Bishop. and
the more recent operation performed
on Jola Reed, a 15-yearoId girl OF
West Newfield, Maine. =,
Although five places were entered
by the police during the day, the
work will be continued next week, the
