What Father Waters said.

There are in the world today many
Christian churches teaching contra
dieting doctrines, and yet all claim to
teach the divine truth. II is self-evfs
dent that all these conflicting and an
tagonistic doctrines cannot be true. II
a certain doctrine Is true in one
church its contradiction In other
churches must be wrong, Amid. so
much confusion Il Is important to
know how to proceed In order to dis.
cover the true doctrine OF Christ
Some people depend on their pri-
vate Judgment and their personal
faith TO lead them right. But this
only produces greater diversity of
opinion, more confusion of thought,
and renders still more uncertain
what Christ actually taught. 1t Is no
doubt true that God gives us faith
and without faith II Is impossible to
please God. But this faith given to
the individual Is not revelation nor
an inspiration such as that given to
the prophets. 1t is a divine virtue or
an habitual inclination of the mind,
moving us TO accept and firmly believe
the revealed truth or that body OF
doctrine taught by Jesus Christ.
"This deposit of faith or doctrine we
must learn as we learn other things
4 but to be profitable TO us II must be
accepted by our mind and heart I'M
Z der the influence Of grace. What
teacher have we 10 instruct us IN this
! important matter? We need teach

I er OF science or philosophy. Other
wise we shall fall into serious errors

WEATHER BUREAU PLEASED
Delighted Because Sunshine Verifes
Predictions Of Friday.
FOrecasters Declare Backbone of
Winter Has Been Broken and
Summer Is Truly Here.

Chief Moore and his corps Of forecasters
at the Weather Bureau. with smiles that
extend from ear to ear. declared last night
that every vertebrae in winters backbone
is broken into little splnters.
The iubilation arises from the fact that
for the first time in many weeks the tenn
perature has given evidences Of resuming
a seasonable character They say that to-
day the thermometer may go 10 % in the
shade They admit that there will be
little cool weather now and then. but
Prof GarriOtt, a wiser old owl i'm weather
foreCastinE than the records would seem
to indicate, ventures the prediction that
skating on the river and taffy pUlliugs are
over for this season.
The Weather Bureau. from the heavy
mail which it has received for several
months. is convinced that hundreds of
people seriously blame it for the unsea-
s0nable weather, but the officials point
with pride to the fact that in 1915 icicles
were 20 be found every month Of the year
In this locality. They admit. however.
that since the government entered into
the business of making weather thirty
five years ago. there has not been
such cold weather through both April and
May as this year The only April colder
than the last one was i'm 1874 The May
OF 1852 was colder than last May. but
there wasn't nearly so much moisture.
The Weather Bureau says that if Amer
leans insist upon invading the arctic cir

LEAVES DISARMAMENT ALONE
United States Will Not Seek to
Force Discussion of Subject.
Delegates Instructed that Question Is
One for Europe-Americans Can
turing IA Subsecretaryship.

II was officially declared at the state
Department yesterday that the United
States, through its delegates to The
Hague. VIII not seek to have the question
of limitation Of armament discussed N
the conference. This government regards
the matter as one entirely Of European
politics.
Attention is called to the fact that Prof
Martens some months ago made the
round Of the European capitals for the
purpose of learning the attitude Of the
principal governments upon the issue Of
limitation OF armament, and returned 10
Russia with the firm conviction that it
was not the desire Of the majority Of
them to have the subject brought up be
fore the conference.
As "A matter Of fact, the government Of
Germany, Russia. Austrla-Hungary. and
Italy are opposed to it.
The Hague, June 15.-The United States
scored the nTSt point Of any nation az the
second Hague congress to-day. u was
only a minor point, but the fact that the
American delegates were able TO achieve
the victory has made the representatives
of othr nations regard them with greater
attention.

blanchard. second secretary of the Amer
lean Embassy at Paris. as one Of the

gates arrived here they at once went to

FORAKER STILL SKEPTICAL.
BelittIes Evidence Adduced In the
Brownsville Inquiry.

Senator Foraker, who conducted the ex-
animation of witnesses in behalf of the
colored soldiers Of the Twenty-ffth In
fantry before the Senate committee in
vestigating the Brownsville affair, yester-
day, in response to a request for his
views on the subject, said:
There is no question except one of
identity The testimony Of Brownsville
citizens was TO the effect that distances
varying from twenty-five feet up 10 $50
feet they looked out in the dark alleys
and dark streets and saw and recognized
the shooting party as soldiers. This testi-
mony is shown TO be utterly unreliable
by the testimony Of the officers OF the bat
TALON. For instance. Mai. Penrose testi-
fed that the night was so dark that at
distance from him Of ten feet he could
not tell one Of his white officers from one
of his colored soldiers
We have not been able to find out who
did the shooting, but the soldiers have
had a chance to be heard IN their own
defense, and with the result. in ny
opinion. of showing that they had moth
ing whatever to 30 with the shooting"
