LECTURE ON sWEDENBoRG.
Rev. DR.. Frank Sewall Inaugurates
Series at the New Church.

series of four lectures on ''Swedenborg
and Modern Culture" the first of which was
a paper on "Swedenborg's Influence on
Goethe" read before the recent meeting of
the American Philosophical Association at
Harvard University, was inaugurated last
evening at the New Church by Rev. DR..
Frank Sewall DR.. Sewall said he desired
to correct any erroneous impression that a
Christian congregation is to be considered
as an assembly of philosophers or scientists.
Neither are philosophy nor science re-
ligion," he said, nor all Christians-we
may be thankful to say it-trained scientists
or philosophers That would be sad day
for mankind when a religious faith could
only be taught in the laboratory of science
and from the philosophers chair 1t would
be like a world whose sunshine came only
dimly difused through certain narrow
lenses placed here and there in a dark
vault The truths of faith forming the
basis Of practical religion should have all
the worldwdeness and all the simplicity
and all the warmth of the genial suns rays
as it shines on the mass OF human minds,
learned and unlearned alike.
For this reason trust it may serve the
purpose of true religious culture to point
out in these lectures how the inspired ser
want of the Lord, Emanuel Swedenborg,
was, under the Divine Providence in his
preparation for the office of prophet and
apostle of the Christian Church OF the fu-
ture-a church to be based upon reason and
faith combined-enabled not only to enter
and explore the widest fields of human
knowledge and so to grasp the known uni
verse spiritual and natural, In the en-
brace of his theological system, but how
this universal world-view, scientific ra-
tional and spiritual has had the effect of
bringing him into vital relation and touch
with the great world controlling minds
since his day; such Kant and Goethe and
Carlyle and Balzac and Emerson. Tenny-

The Stand Together Policy.

They have a way down in Kansas
City Of securing fair treatment from
the transportation companies which
seems to work. The Kansas City Star
relates recent instance where some of
the railroads were making low rates
to a few favored shippers: by giving
rebates or thru other devices of favor
itism, and the general trade, becoming
dissatisfied with this discrimination,
banded together to break it up. There
was cohesiveness enough among the
trade people to stand together-some-
thing which they know how to do in
Kansas City-and the business of
freighting for the merchants in the
combination was offered to one par.
+ ticular line that was not conceding
secret rates. About the time the deal
was ready to be closed the line to be
dealt withdrew, for some reason. A
proposition was then made to another
road, which accepted the terms and is
now favored with guaranteed tonnage
of the same kind for term Of years
This traffic is particularly in heavy
dry goods. 49, 49,.
