CHRISTIAN DUMMIES.
Bishop Vincent Condemns Pagans In
"Our Best Society,""

CHAUTAUQUA, August 1.-The utter
lack OF religious principles among many
business men and society women was
denounced by Bishop John II. Vincent in
his baccalaureate sermon at Chautauqua
Assembly yesterday. Ritualistic conven-
tionality was also described as an at
tempted substitute for religion. while re-
revivals were termed ''spasmodic rapture"
"Of all the public advertising devices
of our times" he said. perhaps the most
pitiful Is the milliner's dummy, with its
expressionless features and corpse-like
pose. an utterly deaf, dumb and dead
tnIng. wearing the fashionable garb of the
living society Of the day, having that
modern feature and nothing else. Pro-
Tossing Christians may be such dummies.
Especially is 1t important that tho
cultivated and really best society people
who make any profession OF Christianity
at all should conform to a religious pro-
gram of life. to avoid being accounted
polished pagans.
..One may feel sort OF religious rap
ture or have spaSm OF emotional eX-
citement under the spell of ritualistc
Influences and yet be as barren of every
thing essential to a genuine. practical,
spiritual life as the pigeons that rest
among the caves Of the church.
THE modern literary and critical study
of the Bible Is Of Gods ways Of
yitalizing Christianity"

BELT A FATAL BED.
Firemen Flattened Out by a Huge
Ely Wheel

MOUNT HOLLY. N. J.. August II
Justus Sutlifre. an assistant fireman at
the plant of the Burlington County Flee
trio Railway Company. was crushed 10
death yesterday between the big belt
and the fly wheel
1t appears that early yesterday morning,
when the power was shut Off after the
last car had reached the terminal he lay
down to sleep in the hang of the big
belt. The engine was started by Engineer
Elbertson at o'clock yesterday morning.
AS he turned the steam into his engine Ell
bertson heard Il groan and instantly shut
OF the power. but there had been enough
momentum given to cause the fly wheel
to turn over once. Sutlire had been
crushed between the belt ana the pulley
Of the wheel. and his death must have
come almost at the instant OF the Sroan.
1t is proposed TO hold an inquest into
the death on Tuesday at Transport. The
body of Sutliffe will probably be taken to
Plymouth. Pa, for burial
