Dr. Eaton says he has read many thousands
of pages of the writings of the advocates of the
new theology and higher criticism, and has
never yet seen a single argument worthy of
respect in favor of those results. He discusses
their view of sin, which they regard as malady;
and the sinner as unfortunate but not guilty
He shows that the denial of guilt of course in
wolves the denial of salvation from guilt and
the necessary conditions thereto. The errors of
the critics are most clearly pointed out, and
most triumphantly refuted. 1t is shown that
there theories are not new but revival of old
forms of infdelity. He relates DR. Osgood's
master-stroke before the Detroit Assembly. DR.
Osgood read from slip of paper what he
claimed were the latest conclusions of the high
er criticism. In TIE Assembly were many men
familiar with this criticism and in sympathy
with it. Dr. Osgood asked to be corrected if
in any respect the statements read were incor-
rect. No one offered an objection He then
announced that all he had read was taken from
the writings of nfdels of the eighteenth cen
fury. Every minister and theological student
should have Gath and The Faith"

cRUcIEIx IN BRAzrL,s COURTS.

On the first proclamation of the re-

in the direction of the secularization
of everything. There was to be lay
neutrality in the schools, civil mar
riages, civil burials, and on. the same
principal the crucifx was removed from

crucifx to it's time honored place over
the judicial bench in the law courts.
This movement quickly spread from

Rio de Janeiro was the scene of a
splendid demonstration of enthusiastic
faith.
A procession of some 10000 persons
representing all classes of society
marched from the cathedral to the mu-
sic of two military bands through the
principal streets of the city. Crowds of
people were massed one each side Of the
way, and every window and balcony
was filled with respectful sightseers.
In the middle of the long line of the
procession, under a rich canopy, the
cords of which we're held by six mag
istrates and officers, walked the parish
priest carrying the crucifix, and at the
end came bevy of young girls repre-
senting the swenty-one Brazilian
States and decked with ribbons of the
national colors. The priest bearing the
crucifc entered the great hall of the
court, where he was received by the
presiding Judge, who took the image
into his arms, and after devoutly kiss
ing the feet, restored it to it's old place
above the bench.-The Tablet.

OAKLAND, Oct. 1S.-Five hundred
gallons of gasoline on the deck of the

fire at an early hour this morning,

IS At AN END.

OAKLAND, Oct. 1S.--All of the plan
ing mills in Alameda County reopened
today as a result of the decision last
night OF the Employers and Contrac-
tors Association calling off the tie
men, who have been on strike to en-
force an Increase IN wages. returned
to work In twenty-seven mills The
raise is 81 day
In most of the other lines of in
dustry connected with the building
trades work was resumed, though some
OF the contractors found difficulty in
getting men. Since the tie-up many
craftsmen obtained employment in San
Francisco, where the demand caused
speedy absorption of the Oakland con-
tingent. Contractors believe the re-
adjustment will cause delay in building
for while, until men can be OBJ
tanned
The building Trades Council has
made no change in its attitude toward
the Employers Association, which is
that the association did not represent
a sufficient number of the contractors
to warrant the making of an agree
ment In view of the aassociation's s
resolution directing It's members to
make individual terms with the men,
it is not probable that a strike of car
penters, scheduled for October %. will
be called to enforce the demand for an
increase from 81 TO So in the minimum
wage. This and other demands pend
ing will probably be met as the in
dividual employers shall decide.
