MORALITY AND RELIGION.
DR.. Crapsey Calls the Dogma False in
His Lecture

ROCHESTER, January 1.-THE subject
of DR.. A S. Crapseys lecture last evening
was THE Moral Breakdown in the
Churches. 1t was not the intention of the
speaker to dwell upon the fact that very
great numbers of people who profess the
religion of Christ did not practice that re-
ligion, but rather to call attention to the
more important fact that many of the
moral conceptions found in the dogma of
the churches We're in conflict with the en-
lightened conscience of the present age.
He began his lecture with reference to
a certain scene in Athens in the DAYS of
Acbiades. When the bright politician and
equally brilliant debauchee of q certain
banquet were discussing the religious con-
dtions of his country certain young men
who were present were deploring the decay
of religion in Greece, but Alcibiades said
not So
Having just returned from Corinth he
said never before have there been many
| women consecrated to the services of the
| Goddess of Love. The writer who records
| this event was, if the speaker was not mis-
| taken, the immortal Plato himself. and he
| saw nothing startling in the words of
| Alcibiades.
| ligion and what we call morality are not al
ways in accord.
1T is true that at the time of Alcibiades
| these religious observances expressed the
| was then outgrowing that phase of religious
| observance and from that time on there
was an increasing antagonism to the reli-
| gion of the people. The antagonism began
| to grow, until at last we hear the prophetic
! saying: God hath not called us to unclean-
illness, but to holiness.
| DR.. Crapsey said that it a very COM
mon occurrence which held that religion
was guardian of morality.
We readily acknowledge the immortality
of the ancient forms of religion which
were supplanted by Christianity, but we
| fail to that even in our own religion
| there are conceptions which the enlight-
| ened conscience of today condemns The
| underlying thought of God in the Christian
| dogma is immoral in It's nature.
| Cruelty is also attribute of God as He
| is reported to man in the dogma of the
| church. st. Augustine devotes two books
| of the "Cfty of Cod to prove that God
1 can keep by His immortal power body OF
| flesh In eternal existence in order to tor
| ment that body in the everlasting flames.
| Dr. Crapsey then went on to say that not
! only were there immoral conceptions in re-
! gard to the Deity contained in the dogma
| churches in their teachings, held a false
| degrading and in a measure an immora.
| conception of man.
! Another immoral conception which is i'm.
| bedded In our dogma is the doctrine of ex
| elusive salvation.
| The saying that out of church there is
| mo salvation is arrogant and false.
| DR.. Crapsey then went to speak al
| length of the immortality which is exhibited
| in the methods of salvation as they are
! taught in the churches.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, January 14.-Dan-
ger Of the spread of typhoid fever from
Scranton, where it is epidemic, to this
city was diminished this morning, when
physicians reported that the Lackawanna
river, which carries off Scranton's sewage
and empies into the Susquehanna, which
flows past this city, is SO heavily charged
with sulphuric acid that the germs cannot
live in it. This sulphuric acid comes from
the mine water emptied into the Lack
awanna from the many collieries along its
banks.

PITTSBURG. January 14.-Yee Chung.
prominent Chinese tea merchant in this
city, viii leave here lay for San fran
cisco. from where he will sail to China on
remarkable mission concerning the great
Yee family of China. zee Chung appeared
yesterday before Rev. +. E. Donahoo,
retired physician, missionary and adviser OF
the Chinese in western Pennsylvan for
the purpose of having the necessary papers
signed admitting him to this country fol-
lowing his mission in China. According to
Rev. Donahoo, Yee Chung has been sum-
moned to China hurriedy by the zee fam
lily, and a representative of the same
family in the United States
"A few days ago." said Mr. Donahoo last
night, 1.-The clan of Chinese known IS the
Hams are said to have blown up the great
stone bridge across the Pearl river near
Hongkong. which was erected by the zee
clan. This alleged outrage has greatly eX
cited the zee family in all parts of the
world and prominent men of the family are
rushing to China for a conference.
Two Great Clans.
"In China about one hundred miles from
Hongkong is domiciled the great clan of
the Yees in hundreds of villages On each
| side of them is a river, one the Pearl river,
| the other small stream. The Yees live be-
tween the two streams, while the Hams live
on the opposite shore.
MANY centuries ago the Hams sent to
the Emperor of China the most beautiful
| member of their tribe for wife. The EN-
| peror fell madly in love with his new wife,
| and she exerted considerable power. About
| this time the Yees made application to the
| emperor for ferry across the Pearl river.
| The rights were given to the Hams, who
| built the ferry, exacting heavy tolls from
| the YeeS.
Tired of Paying Tribute.
| For centuries the Yees paid tribute to
J the Hams. until recently, when the Yees
| all over the world. in Asia, India, Singa-
! pore, the Philippines, cities Of New York
and Chicago and other large American
cities contributed to the erection of a
| bridge across the Pearl river. There are
| over 200 Cinnamon in the Pittsburg as
| trict who have 500 each in the bridge.
| THE bridge a work of art. 1t was
| mile long and had eighteen arches in the
| river alone. Two weeks ago it was opened
| for traffic. The Yees used the bridge ex-
! clusively, and the Hams were compelled to
/ abandon their ferry system. Several days
| ago every arch in the bridge was blown
! up"
| The Rev. Mr.. Donaho further states
| that the government at Picking was noti-
| fed. and troops are now stationed in the
vicinity of the bridge, bloodshed being
| feared among the two factions.

my guess. --
Judge Lands is certainly a DAN
ici come to Judgment! Yea a Dam
icl, in the way his opinion meets the
technical equivocations of the defend
ant argument. Yet when Judge Lam
dis likens legal interference with the
right OF private contract to the ex-
crcise OF the right Of eminent do
main he seems to me to be likcning
two things that are entirely different.
the people to the earth has been
ovcrgrown with the technicaiitics OF
the law, il still remains true as
Blackstone wrote that the right of
the individual to the use of the earth
has never been more than that Of
tenancy in fee" In other words pri-
vstc ownership OF the earth's surface
has only the color OF law. II is never
absolute. The right Of eminent do
main has always modified il. But the
right OF private contract as to service
between man and man is one of tho
highest individual rights. II lies at
the base of all our human struggle
for life. liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. which is simply the sirug-
gle for individuality. How the afscr-
ton of tho right eminent domain jus.
tifics the abrogation Of the right OF
private contract. which the Standard
Oil Co. has been exercising. IS not
clear to me.
II Judge Lands would say clearly
that we have practically surrendered
the right Of eminent domain into the
hands Of the railway companies and
tho oil well and pipe line owners. and
we. the people. sec no other way Of
righting that mistake but by passing
arbitrary laws that violate the right
Of private contract-and VIC propose
