BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

It was expected that the case of John Henderson and the city over the extension of Clark street would be heard last week, but there was so much other business the court did not get to it. It will now be some months before the matter will be aired in the courts and the extension of the street will hang on indefinitely.
 Frank Thompson of 136 Green mount terrace, janitor of the Town Plot school, was painfully injured Saturday while carrying a bod of coal up stairs at his home. Thomp- son in some manner lost his balance and tumbled to the bottom, AL though he was badly shaken up at the time, he did not think he was se- rously hurt and did not cal phy- sician until yesterday. In fact he worked around the school after the accident but yesterday Dr John F. Farrell was called and upon eXamin- ation found that two ribs had been badly fractured.
 It has been rumored on Town Plot the past couple days that the Rev DeHart Gulick, former pastor of the Third Congregational church was about to intitute suit against the corporation for back salary. s. w. Chapman, clerk of the association, could not be found to-day but John Henderson, a deacon of the church, said he had heard nothing of suit by MT Gulick. Mir Gulick officiated at the church previous to the arrival of the Rev c. D. Chunn. the present pastor. He took the position at a salary of $12 week on condition, so he says, that the congregation would pay him more when the treas ury warranted it. But MT Gulick's s salary did not increase. In fact after a time many of the deacons were clamoring for a change so the minis ter was finally asked to resign. He at length did so. He expected to receive upon his departure sum of money which would compensate him for working at such low sal ary, but no money was forthcoming.

DYNAMITE ON STREET.
Police Patrol Wagon Used to Cart It
 to City Yard.

Reserve Officer John Sullivan took a ride yesterday that he will long remember. John has been patrol man for a number of years but nev- CT before did he find himself in such a touchy position. It was in the morning that Superintendent Beach received word that 200 pounds or dynamite had been found in the woods between Cooke street and the boulevard. A youth by the name ot John Keaveney of Bishop street came upon the explosive while roaming through the woods. Detective Will liam Keegan was sent out on the mat ter and later Officer Sullivan went along with the patrol wagon. The dynamite was brought to the station in the wagon with John as guardian. The dynamite was taken to the city yard.

Sister Xavier, superioresS Of St Mary's hospital, and four assistants came here to-day from Hartford and commenced their labors at the insti- tuition. They will reside in the frame building north of the hospital, which has been thoroughly renovated and equipped with all modern improve ments.
 Two men accompanied by three children called at the police station Saturday to ask Superintendent of Police Beach for permit to sing on the streets The children were to do the singing and furnish the music while the men presumably were to collect the money But Superinten- dent Beach knocked the plan in the head by refusing to give them per- mission, so they went away much dis appointed.
 There was big crowd on the ice at Hamilton park yesterday after noon Owing to the open weather the surface was not frozen very hard and enough of it was torn off to rem der fine work with the skates out of the question, but nobody minded that. They were there to have good time and they had it. Some brought the babies and it was a eau tion to see people rushing this way and that on the ice, all the time push ing baby carriage ahead of them. The little occupants enjoyed it. too, so that in addition to being able to take care of the boys and girls and grown people the park committee is also in a position to give the babies q show.

STOKES'S FORTUNE.
He Is Using It to Educate People in
 Socialism.

New Haven, Dec 2S.-After a lec- ture given by J. G. Phelps Stokes be- fore a socialist gathering here last night, he was asked why he didn't give the millions he inherited to the people. MT Stokes said that he had not inherited millions, only thou sands, and that he was trying to re- turn those thousands to the people by spending it in educating them in the doctrines of socialism.
 He said he was earning his living and that of his wife by acting as di- rector in the corporations, stocks of which he had inherited. He was then asked why he didn't give the money to the church. Replying. MT Stokes said that churches had done just as much evil as good, that the capitalists were found in the pews of the churches and were it's officers and that the ministers were afraid of offending them.
 When asked if his brother, Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale uni versity, was not a member of the church, he said: Yes, and I think he will do the church good"

and solemn truth, but upon further peru
sal of his screed, we perceive that his mo-
tive is to secure the enactment of a law
to prohibit magistrates and others from
performing the marriage ceremony, and to
confer upon the parsons an exclusive
monopoly. The fact that magistrates and
others are now authorized to perform the
marriage ceremony not peculiar to this
country alone, but existing also in other
nations, is recognition that marriage is but
civil contract and minus any of the
sacred tomfooleries with which the gnrtle-
men OF the cloth would bind it. Being a
civil contract 1t is a matter with which the
preacher, as such, can have little to do
sentimental and hysterical women will still
continue to patronze the parson more for
the show and display of the thing, than for
any regard for the religious features attach
ing.
In the course of his argument this preach
er furnishes hypothetical marriage by
some Justice of the peace, and says:
"Salle, do you take Bill here to be your
husband? Yes? Join hands-no your right.
That's better Bill you take Sallie? Did
you say Yes?' All right. But the authority
In me vested by he law I pronounce you
man and wife. Two dollars. Thank you
and wish you luck"
Grant all that he would urge to be true
how does the preacher differ from the mag
Sarah Jane, do you take William Henry
to be your lawful welded husband" and
and concludes, II pronounce you man and
wife, Those whom god has joined together
you say Yes? All right BY the authority
vice versa, with all the obey attachments,
let no man put asunder" and instantly the
parsons eye falls upon the hand of the
groom, watching it to see If it is ever going
to reach his pocket for any old tip he may
bestow.
Now, then, Mr.. Pool, where's the differ
ence? In the name of common humanity.
by what right should you have the priv
lege of performing a marriage ceremony
and getting pay FOR it, and another man.
authorized by the law of the land, be de-
prived of that right? Have you holier or
better blood in your veins? Have you a
stronger pull with the almighty? Can you
tie stronger knot than a magistrate? II
judge should take a two dollar William
for his trouble, would not you pull the
grooms arm off grabbing at a bill of half
that denomination? Why should you and
your class be given perpetual monopoly?
Have you rights superior to your fellows?
Down upon your knees, little man, and
pray that some sure enough American cit.
izen may not sit down on you and crush
YOU.

Pray, Plan, Push.

Pray Plan, Push.
This is the working motto Of Rev. G.. r.
Robbins, pastor of the Lincoln Park Baptist
church, of Cincinnati.
Inasmuch as we have been taught that
the prayers of the righteous availeth much,
we now have it upon expert authority that
prayer Is lacking virtue unless accom-
panied with planning and pushing.
No sane man will doubt for one moment
that to succeed men must plan and push
but they can do it without praying Thou
sands could i'll afford to waste valuable
time in prayer when planning and pushing
becomes necessary. 1t would also follow
that II planning and pushing are equally
necessary to the success of the church as
praying the church is not now a success
and we are strongly inclined to agree with
such a view of the present church situa-
ton.
Rev. Robbins also believes in going fur
ther According to his published state
ments he entertains the notion that to be
successful the parson must mingle with
the crowd, in other words, mix with the
people," and to "elbow them" This means
that when the parson makes the discovery
that the people will not come to him he
must go to the people. And why? To
enable the church to attain success. Then
we are led to the conclusion that the
church and the parsons are to pass out
VI tHdI spiritual Sldte III WHICH IHey nave
so long professed to be, and assume more
material aspect. Be of the world worldly
Be less of a preacher and more man.
Plan for SUCCESS and then push to win it,
If you think it necessary, cut out the prayer
but go after success and win it. Although
a preacher, IL you like red neckties, wear
one, and wear it in the pulpit. Don't try
to make yourself appear better than other
men. Come down step or two. Don't
try to be exalted in the sight of the lord.
Get next to the people.
According to the account of the Cincin-
natl Post concerning Rev. Robbins, the
foregoing appears to be fair resume of
his notions regarding the church and its
work. But what does 1t suggest? Simply
that, In line with other preachers, this
preacher preceives the drift of the modern
world and it BODIES no good for the future
of the church. 1t also means that If the
church Is to save itself from imminent
destruction 1t has got to change its policies
and this change must be made by the
preachers first. Had the preachers taken
notice of these facts many years ago the
church might have been spared few years
longer, but the day is dawning when it must
lose both caste and standing in human
society and when IL shall reach its zenith
1t will be a bright day for mankind.
But on this point the Blade realizes that
1t takes plan and push to win. In this we
can agree with Rev. Robbins. We are will
ing that he should pray all he desires, but
we will plan some and then encourage our
friends to push some for the case we repre-
sent.

BLUE GRASS BLADE
Current Comment on Public Events

Open the parks, museums and theaters
and give suffering humanity chance.
Legislative intent has been used with good
effect my many judges in an effort to ex-
plain and continue given law, but it comes
now in the nature of boomerang and legis-
lative intent may be the means of throwing
open the prison doors of orthodox gloom on
Sunday in this land of the free.
Through the New York World we learn
that Justice Gaynor has rendered quite
an important decision affecting the Sunday
closing question which may be the means of
restoring portion of our personal liberties
swiped by Blue Laws enacted at the in
stance Of churchites.
The justice, writing the majority opinion
of the appellate division in Brooklyn, con-
sidered the idea of a legislative intent so
to stop what is called dissertation of the
Christian Sabbath" as to prevent the courts
from setting bounds to the statute. Said
he:
when it Is considered that nowhere out
side of the British Isles has the Old Tesla
ment notion of still Sabbath ever existed
in the Christian world, it is impossible to
attribute to the aggregate Christian mind
as rather fairly represented in our legisla-
ture, with such varied national lineage in
its membership, any such purpose.
Christians of no nation, church or sect
ever entertained the Old Testament notion
of still Sabbath, but favored and practiced
innocent and healthy exercises and amuse
ments after church on Sunday. John Knox
visited John Calvin on Sunday afternoon
at Geneva and found him out back at
game of bowls on the green"
The case involves the arrest of a moving
picture show proprietor who opened and
operated his show on Sunday in Brooklyn.
The principle, which seems to be approved
by the court, or majority of its members,
is that of Sunday, which like all other
days, is made for all men and not for
few sanctimonious hypocrites. Sunday Is
not for part of the community or for a
minority, in fact, to enforce upon the whole
community its strictest and narrowest con-
ception OF how far the conduct deemed
orderly on six-sevenths of the week shall
be deemed disorderly on the other seventh.
The World, discussing this point, insists
and urges that there is much need of legis-
lative intent to make this point perfectly
plain in law. And Freethinkers may find
enjoyment in the fact that at last court
has been found that does not agree with
the Puritanical notions of the Sabbatarians
and large and influential daily newspaper
that has the courage to voice such SEN
timent.
Marriage is not Joke"
So spake Rev. Thomas G. Pool, of Macon,
Ca. as he is reported by the newspapers.
Ii Rev. Pool is speaking from experience,
personally, he may be right, but as we have
no means at hand Of know whether he be
benedict or bachelor, We refrain from i'm
putting to him either alternative II he Is
