State Products at Exposition.
The Maryland exhibit in the States
Exhibit Palace at the jamestown ex
position, which Marylanders will see
on Maryland day, Sept. II, will long
be remembered as one of the finest and
most carefully selected horticultural
displays ever shown in this country,
not for the number of specimens, but
for the actual quality of the exhibits
themselves.
Decorated profusely with the Mary
land colors, old gold and black, the
booth occupies just a thousand square
feet of floor space. The ceiling and the
pillars supporting the ceiling are like
wise gold and black, while near the
center of the booth are two large col
ored paintings of the oriOle, the en-
blematic bird of the city of Baltimore.
But the most pleasing and striking
features of the decorations are the
flowers. There are flowers everywhere.
Roses, crotons and peonies in tall green
vases adorn the tables and exhibit

The Day of the Lord.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The metaphorical language of the Bible
is very different from the ''up-his-sleeve"
variety used by Mr.. George c. Tanner
in referring to my letter Of July %. He
says he has a vague idea" about Bible
characters. and. from what he says. 7

These names occupy a place in the con-

AVA ice Cream Suggestion.

Editor The Washington Herald:
It really seems 20 me that the fce cream
dealers IN Washington have lost an op-
portunity this summer 20 make an extra
reasonable profit on their goods, or they
lack the business enterprise Of some other
places in not taking advantage of a
good opportunity which they might have
availed themselves of, and still might
avail themselves of, for that matter.
1 have recently returned from a three
weeks visit to a prosperous little town
in Western Pennsylvania. While there
Noticed several neat looking. white
wagons with daily or semi-daily routes
all over the town. each with a bell at
tachment The occupants had for sale
ice cream in cones, or cornucopias, OF
about six inches in length. at the price
of cents per cone. These wagons were
supplied by the highest class OF ice
cream Dealers and the ice cream was
excellent. The cone was filed by the
wagon occupant while you waited. These
wagons seldom stopped before a residence
without dispOsing of several cones. and il
wass and is, by no means unusual sight
10 see the members OF the household
while seated on their front porches or
stoops each partaking Of ice cream from
ii cone. The cone itself is made Of a
fine quality OF thin pastry. and goes well
with ice cream.
/ attended a baseball game while in
the little town referred 20, and il was
interesting to see ice-cream cones being
sold 10 and devOured by the patrons In
the grand stand with evident relish.
! am aware OF the fact that itinerant
venders in Washington sell cone ice
cream, but these cones are small, the
quality Of the cream questionable. and
small children-for cent per eone-are
the chief purchasers.
/ am somewhat surprised that the better
class OF ice cream makers here have not
made cone ice cream a matter Of business,
for there is money in il for them. as well
as great satisfaction TO the consumer.

Religion VS.. Science.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Your editorial OF the 7th instant. enti
tied Religion VS.. Science" will come
as a far greater surprise to Catholic read
ers than the late DEGREES Of the "Hol,
Office" and as a Catholic layman. I bea
leave to call your attention to some seri.
Gus errors and misstatements in the edi.
torial in question.
There IS IN the church to-day a growing
body Of liberalizing Catholics-of whom
FogSzzarro. of Italy. and Tyrrell, Of Eng
land. are the best known-who are en-
deavOTing to reconcile the dogmatic teach
ing Of the church with the rationalistic
movement without In doing this. they
have fallen into grave errors. the greatest
Of which has been the confusing of the
spiritual life Of the church with her pure
ly social organism. Following Harnack
and others, they have ignored her divine
mission TO keep pure the doetrinaI de-
crees of Christ. which she has power and
authority TO eXpound, but not to change
add 10. or subtract from. Rather thew
have considered her only as a disciplinary
government, which must change to suit
varying conditions. and which. at most. is
the Christian inheritor Of the dominion OF
the Roman Caesars. These Christians
would rob religion. Scripture. and tradi-
tion Of all objective reality, and it is
against these the syllabus is directed.
Again. you have misunderstood the de-
crees as they relate to Scripture criticism.
You viii remember that a Biblical con-
gress, called together years ago by Leo
XIII. has just lately been brought TO a
close. This commission feft the Mosaic
authorship OF the entire Pentateuch still
an open question. Moreover, the question
or the revision of the accepted Vulgate is
now under consideration. The position of
the church is, and has always been. that
the Holy Scriptures are divinely inspired
throughout, and contain the Word of God.
She knows and allows that there are
chronological difficulties. that there are
a number Of interpretations and much
poetic matter included within their COW
ersi but she must forever declare the
Bible divine in whole and part, and. as
she interprets II. law forever or questions
Of faith and morals.
Again. neither the Bible nor the church
are teachers of scientific truth. Their
mission ends when they have shown the
relationship Of God and man, and have
Instructed man in his God-ordained duty

fact only is revealed which we must be-
heVe concerning nature-the proper field
or scientific investigation and .ilscoverv-
that IS, that God is its creator and sug-
talner- And this is what Genesis teaches.
AS 10 the manner of creation, the church
has nothing to say. That is speculation.

some people so much. can cause no anx-
iety to the theologian. They form

Dives and lazarus.
Washington, D. c.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In a recent issue OF your paper, NJ. G..
Ellis calls upon me TO explain the par
able Of Dives and Lazarus. which Is
generally understood TO be the plainest
statement in the Scriptures Of the doc
tTine Of eternal torment. I take pleas
ure in giving my understanding of the
parable. but disclaim any originality
While this is admitted 70 be a parable.
Il is generally treated as If it were a lit
eral statement This involves several ab-
.surdities; for instance, that the rich man
went to he'll (hades1 because he had en-
joyed many earthly blessings. and gave
nothing but crumbs 10 Lazarus. Not a
word is said about his wickedness. Again.
Lazarus is blessed. not because he was
good, or full of faith in God, but simply
because he was poor and sick. If this
be interpreted literally, the only lesson TO
be logically drawn from it is. that unless
we are poor beggars, full of sores, we
Will never enter future bliss; and. that If
we now wear fine linen and purple, and
have plenty TO eat, we are sure Of eter-
nal torment
Again, the coveted place Of favor is
Abraham's bosom: and, if the whole
statement IS literal, the bosom must be
literal. and 1t SURELY would hold very
few Of earth's millions of poor and sick
AS q parable however. It is easy Of
Interpretation, for in a parable the thing
said is never the thing meant, For in
stance. in the parable of the wheat and
tares, the Lord explained that wheat meant
children of the Kingdorl'' and tares
meant children of the devil" and in an
other parable. similar classes were repre-
sented by sheep and goats. SO in this
parable, the rich man must represent a
class, and Lazarus another class; and the
parable as lesson applies to these
classes.
The rich man (Dives) represented the
Jewish people. which up to, and at the
time Of the parable, 'fared sumptuousIy," 8"
as the special recipients Of Gods favor
and promises. The promises to Abraham
and David invested that people with roy
atty. as represented in the rich mans
purple" The typical sacrifices of the
law constituted them, in a typical sense.
a holy nation, represented by the rich
mans "fine linen"-symbolic of right
eoUsness. (See Rev, Xx:S)
The poor man Qazarusl represented
the God-fearing people of other nations.
debarrsd, until after Christ's death, from
those blessings conferred upon Israel
specially AS the linen represented Israel's
justification, so the sores represented the
moral defilement of this class for whose
justification no sin offering had at that
time been made They were not even
typically cleansed, and had as yet no
share in the rich promises Of the King
dom-the purple" They were, on the
contrary, outcasts, strangers from Israels
favors. (Epse, ii:1f-1S)
The Lords conversation with the SyrO-
Phenician woman explains how this class,
of whom she was one ate Of ihe
crumbs OF divine favor which feE from
