Sunday Morning Talk.
Religious Delusions-Their Cause and
Cure.

The odd, the fantastic and the outre
forms of religious faith are bound TO
emerge at more or less regular intervals.
They amuse the thoughtless onlooker, but
they raise some grave questions for serious
people to ponder. Why should there De such
oueer deviations from the conventional
tynes of religion and why in this most
enlightened ofNall the centuries should THESE
fads flourish in different parts of the word
and secure thousands of devotees?
This is an age of general intelligence TO
he sure but the spread OF knowledge mas
driven many persons from their old moor
ings. They hardly know where they stand
theologicauy. They have grown weary OF
the sameness and juicelessness Of the re-
ligious conceptions and customs in the
midst of which they have been reared
Along comes powerful personality, who
appeals to them in their restlessness and
dissatisfaction. He Is not over modest In
his personal claims. He gives out that he
himself is some great one. He encourages
1attery and even sycophancy He intimates
that he possesses remarkable and even SUI
pernatural gifts. In a short time he has
carried a host OF impressionable women
captive-the Scriptures employ another adj
jecttye when speaking of such women, but
I refrain The loud-voiced, self-constituted
leader gets hold on certain class of
men also. Call it hypnotism or what you
will, soon the devotees of both sexes are
like clay In the hands of the potter. "A
spiritual monarchy is set UP and the man
or woman on the throne is looked upon as
a viceregent of the Almighty.
1t is worth noting also that temporary
benefits and blessings constitute a large
part of the charm Of such movements.
Their adherents are encouraged to believe
that they will get we'll or get wealth or
get power or position. 1t is the form of
goodness that Is most profitable for the
life that now Is and consequently 1t appeals
to this commercially minded age.
And what are we going to do about It
we people who regard these sporadic move
ments as nine parts humbug to one part
sincerity? Well, in some cases we need not
do anything at all. The house of cards
often tumbles down of Itself. Internal dis
sensions arise and as. contending factions
strive for supremacy the movement Itself
gets body blow. Then there is always
the likelihood of the return of sanity. The
victims of religious Authorizations do not
always stay crazy When the novelty OF
the fad has worn off the foolishness or
the whole business is brought home to sober
second thought.
Moreover 1t is too late in the worlds
history for any man to build up sect
around his own person. That is why suen
movements as Dowseism and Sanfordism
are. bound to collapse sooner or later. Crys-
tallfzed about one name and one person
atty they become subject to all the muta-
tons and fluctuations of fortune that anect

Medicine and Theology.

From the New York Tribune.
The following story was told by John L.

when he was pastor of Central Church,
Chicago:
DR. Hills had number Of doctors in his
Chicago congregation. It was fashionable

didn't go to church at all. but had the
reputation of making good in his practice

came so very sick that her husband didn't
want to take any chances, so he sent for
DR. Webster. He came. took care or Mrs.
Hills and she recovered.

clan: Doctor, owe you a great deal.

and his characteristic reply showed his APP

Strange Injuries by Rails.

From the Railway and Engineering Review.
It is well known that the tendency for
rails to creep on trestles issfrequently very
strong. A section crew of the Terminal
railroad of st. Louis recently had an I'M
fortunate experience in removing a rail
from one of the elevated tracks of that
company.
The rails had been creeping and were I'M
der heavy stress. One of them had buck
led sidewise, and as the spikes were with
drawn it suddenly flew out Of place, break
ing the limbs of three of the workmen,
one Of whom had both legs broken just
above the ankles Still two~other men,
bers of the crew were injured so seriously
that they had to be taken to hospital.
similar accident occurred on the Union
Pacific railroad some years ago. In that
case the rail sprang out OF place, STRIKING
the foreman and breaking his legs.

Ancient Coins Found in Afghanistan.

from the Gunuee AdNeFtlseF.
The Ameer OF Afghanistan is said to have
received a letter from his son, Prince Ina
yatulla Khan. announcing that, while con-
structing a road in the Kohistan ulaqua,
treasure was found at the village OF Zana.
consisting of gold and silver coins OF an
Client kings. Two companies of sappers and
miners had been dispatched, under the
command OF Col. Mohammed Nabi Khan, TO
guard the treasure On reading this news,
the ameer said. In durbar at Jeilalabad,
that Il was to him a God-send help In the
performance of his duties toward his sub
iects. Subsequently another letter was re-
ceived from Sirdar Abdulla Tekhi, COVER
nor of Balakh. stating that while some
peasants were preparing their land for cul-
tivation they came upon some ruins. which,
on further examination, proved to be wall
Enclosures of ruined city. The governor
himself visited the spot and found the ruins
OF large city, with some gold coins, the
inscriptions on which nobody could read.
The gray-bearded Afghan Turks said they
had heard from their ancestors that a large
kaffir city existed in the vicinity. which
had been destroyed long since, and that in
the ruins were buried treasure of the Kafiir
kings. Some of the coins were sent to the
ameer for inspection. This discovery was
also regarded as a good omen by the
aineer. and he has written to the governor

the Importance of q. definite, positive mes
sage. The vague assertions of some mod
ern pulpits have not weight or point
enough to reach the masses who like TO
have truth presented to them in form
which they can grasp and understand. 1t
is equally desirable that the plain people
be made also to understand that religion
is a good thing for this world as well as
for the world to come and that the church
is deeply interested In their happiness and
welfare even though 1t does not lure them
into the kingdom through the offer of ma
terial rewards.
And all these oddities in religion prove
anew that man Is incurably religious, that
no motives appeal so strongly to him as
the religious motives and that though he
may mistake the path at times he must
journey on until he finds the satisfaction
of his spiritual longings. THE PARSON.

lations. The natives, better educated than
they formerly were. and with their social
position improved by wealth, resent the
extra-territorial rights granted to people
many of whom are morally and socially
inferior to themselves. Europeans Of the
better class are not unwilling to change
system which favors only the criminal COM
munlty. No one was more strongly than
myself opposed to interference with the
capitulaions In the past. Now I am pro-
foundly convinced that they are a source
of real danger, and that their abolition by
delegation to the Egyptian government
under British responsibility Is necessary IL
Egypt's moral advance is to keep pace with
her material progress.
The third change Is the moral tone OF
the officials. In 1865 corruption was the
dive Ismail to ~the lowest official. In 1890
/. had disappeared from those administra-
tons under direct British control. In 1906
/ will not say that 1t Is non-existent, but 1t
is limited. and. to pay. vices tribute to
virtue, Is at least regarded as disgraceful,
except In one quarter, where 1t is an en-
tirely new growth. Even in Ismail's time
honors were given. II not by merit, at least
by favor unauthorized by cash payment
Today titles Of pashas and beys might al
most be quoted on the stock exchange. The
brokers are editors of rival native papers,
the purchasers are any one who for So
cial or business purposes will pay the price
and the seller Is the khedive. The matter
Is too openly discussed. commented upon
and admitted to be ignored, and creates
the worst impression. I quote without
comment the words of an Egyptian whose
title was honorably acquired Have we
not the right to ask that the Egyptian
fountain of honor, under British control,
should be as absolutely above suspicion as
your own that the titles of pasha and hey
should imply, as a peerage or knighthood
implies in England, merit recognized by the
sovereign without money or without price?"
The only remedy Is the obvious one, which
the authorities are unwilling to employ,
except in extremis.
Some anxiety exists on account of the
presence of Turkish troops seven miles
west of Egypts eastern frontier, which is
defined as a line from Raffah to Akabah,
but which has never been delimitated
There is natural tendency to see behind
the porte the influence of western power
but nothing at present appears to justify
the suspicion. 1t Is hoped that the Incl
dent is due to ignorance of the frontier
and that it will be automatically arranged
shortly in Constantinople.
