with sacred songs for some time.

their remarks were attentively listened
to blythe crowd of enthusiastic visitors.
At the conclusion of the concert on the
boardwalk, the crowd dispersed, some
attending the sacred concert at Ocean

ABLE ADDRESSES
 ATPASTORS' UNION
pR. ]. H. HIDEN AND DR. A. R. MOORE GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON HIGHER cRiTlclSM--AN ANUS. ING PARODY ON A TEXT.

The Pastors union held it's regular monthly meeting in the basement of the First Methodist church yesterday morn ing. The special order of the day was set sasfde sAnd tie addresses of-the Rev. pr. ,I.,11. Hiden of the Baptist church and the Rev. Dr. Allen R. Moore, pastor of the First Christian church, occupied the hour
 Both of the ministers read from care fully prepared manuscript their opinions of Higher Criticism. taking it in al most every rhase and showing especially its weak points. pr. Hiden divided his subject into higher or spiritual criticism, and lower or textual criticism. He was especially severe in his arraignment of the Rev. Dr Toy and his views. showing in many ways how they contradcted the Bible and Christs own words.
 In closing Dr. Tliden used most anus ing satircal parody on the sermons which the higher critics might preach. He said that the minister took as his eating his Christmas pie and proceeded b give the critical analysis of the verses, after the fashion of the higher critic. The ministers were convulsed with laughter during the whole of the rendition of the parody
 Dr. Moore also took issue with the high CT critic. Both addresses were considered masterpieces of thought.
