MORAL LEADERS OF WORLD.
DR.. J. ]. Muir's Address Before the
Y. M. C. A.

How one man refused promises of
highest honors in the gift of an emperor
and accepted exile from his native city
for the sake Of principle in which he
believed was the story told by DR.. ]. J.
Muir last evening in an address at Y. NJ.
c. A. building on "Athanasius Against the
World" This great thinker Of the fourth
century, who has been called the father
Of Christian orthodoxy" saw many people
and the emperor of his country turn
against his belief in the divinity Of
Christ, and was ordered into exile for his
failure to change his views.
This lecture on Athanasius was the first
of a series on Moral Leaders of the
World" to be given by Dr. Muir; and at
the next lecture he will take up ''Savon
arola." Those who take an interest in
the series of lectures will form a club,
and this organization will entertain some
of the moral leaders of the present day.
"English-a World Language" is the
subject announced for the first of
series Of lectures to be given in the Y. M.
C. A. building Friday evening next by DR..

ground out their lives in piffiing trivial
tiles. The result was that men of real en-
ergy of intellect and brilliant powers of
initiation refused the ministry, and more
and more the greatest function in the

inferior men who performed their tasks
mechanically and were wholly unable to
express the ideas which agitated thought

without a living church. The fortunes of
the republic were bound up with the for

that the decline of religion in a nation

A Hysterical Hero.
1t is scarcely worth while to continue
these quotations. The author puts many
such absurd assertions into the mouth of
his hero, who is hysterical person.
Sometimes the hero talks like William T.
Stead and sometimes like Robert G. In
gersoll, and he seems to have stirred up
tremendous excitement in the city Of New
York. His movement for reform of the
churches and for the redemption & the
people, according to the story, was resisted
not only with determination, but with
violence, and was interrupted by the hand
OF an assassin. But the hero RECEIVERS to
carry on his work successfully.
One can see no reason why this book
should have been published except to ad-
vertise the author. who has evidently
abandoned the pulpit for the lecture plat
form, but 1t is difficult to understand why
he should have made this shameless at
tack upon the members of his profession
when the slightest amount of investigation
would have convinced him that his picture
Is inaccurate, untrue and unjust. His mis-
representations will supply the enemies of
the church with considerable material
and, coming as they do from the pen of
clergyman, will be accepted by those who
wish to believe them the testimony of
an expert. If DIR. Dawson Is an honest
man he will soon regret that this I'M
worthy book was ever written.

that he was "a bit disappointed" add
Ding that nevertheless he meant to

CULINARY NOVELTIES.
WELSH RABBITS THAT SEEM TO
SAVIOR OF INDIGESTION.
: Inventors of Choice Tit-Bits However,
Assert the contrary-Fish Served
with Toasted Cheese Poured
Over 1t.

There is no longer any special nov
city in serving Welsh rabbit on a
piping hot mince pie, as substitute
for toast. For years the cooks at the
old chop houses in New York had
been serving dish that they called
slip on" and this was nothing less
than melted cheese poured over hot
mince pie, and experts who had sys-
tematically tested the effects of this
combination did not hesitate to affirm
that the presence of the cheese aided
rather than deferred the processes
of digestion.
To season this cheese, therefore,
was but short step in the direction
of culinary eccentricity, novel as it
seemed.
A writer in the Bohemian, describ
Ing some of the Welsh rabbits per-
petuated by well-known people, says
that Walter McDougall, the cartoonist,
Is responsible for one which is seem
ingly irrational" Mr.. McDougall takes

bit poured over 1t.
The late John Chamberlin once con-
fided to Miss May Irwin that his sue
cess as a rabbit maker was due to
the fact that after he had grated his
cheese into bowl he added all the
other ingredients-the butter, mus
tard, pepper, paprika and two table
spoonfuls of cream to each person to
be served-rubbing them all smooth,
or to uniform paste, before trans
ferring the mixture to the saucepan in
which it was to be melted.
Morgan Robertson, the novelist, is
the inventor of two methods of max
ing rabbit, but when he makes a

ate he takes the proper quantity of
rich New York state cream cheese and
breaks 1t directly into stale ale, let

The proper proportions are half a
cupful of ale to each half pound of
cheese, and to each half cupful of the
ale tablespoonful of soda is added
before the process of heating is be-
gun. While the cheese is dissolving

proper consistency is reached it is
