vEsPER SERVICE.
Rev. Charles F. Dole Of Boston Speaks
At Unitarian Church.

The third sermon in the series of
Tesper services at the Unitarian
church was preached Monday evening
by Rev. Charles f. Dole of Jamaica
Plain, Boston, a large congregation be-
ing present.
Previous to the sermon, the quartet
rendered an anthem in a very beauti-
full manner and sang a response to the
prayer.
| 1.-The New Man." was the text and
| theme of the speaker. He began by
saying that the attention of man is
much drawn to the future. The one
| who is pessimst when viewing pres
| ent day conditions is an optimist re-
garding past ages; and the optimist of
today regards with pessimistic eye the
| outcome of tomorrow. The speaker
cited several Instances, illustrating this
point.
when we look at the governments
of the world" said the speaker, out
lining the Iessmistic position. I'VE see
an arrangement of our civilization.
And over against this we have por-
trayed to us the City of Light.
The speaker said that there are sew
eral answers to the question of how
we are to attain to this estate.
Zone is that by virtue of education
you are going to better the conditions
of life. And yet when we see how long
it takes to bring things about by edu-
cation. one wonders how this may be
brought cut by education. Surely to-
day we are not educated to enter the
city of Light very successfully.

tons, that it was / believe, a favorite
thought of Phillips Brooks that there
was tc be a second reincarnaton, as it
We're, of Christ.
and again, there is the answer
which is given by our evangelical
friends, that it is possible to change
the spirit of man by touching his life
with real religion.
And again, there is the idea Of the
coming of the 'super-man.'
"Thc satyrists tell us that the pres
ent man is not fit to govern. That he
must give place to the super-man, the
beyond man. And from this we have
the so-called science of eugenics, which
means that the man shall be better
born"
The speaker summarized the bear
ing of these varied ideas on the main
topic He cited. the cases Of st. Paul,
st. Francis of Assist, Dwight L. Moody,
DIR. Grenfall, Las Casas, Marcus Aure-
Illus and others to prove that loftiness
of ideal and noble living was not con-
fined to any one form of religion. T
ITO many it is the way of mother or
father. To many it is the way of duty
Or again it is the way of truth. 1t Is
