THAT uNExpENDED BALANCE.

At that tim9 it became the duty of
the Secretary Of the Treasury TO car
ry the nnexpended balance TO the gen
eral fund or apply to Congress for
a appropriation. II was doubtless
in view of this fact that the War De-
partment at that time estimated for
the further appropriation of $1,000,
600, as the report shows OF the Sec
rotary of War for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1902. which estimate
was. however, disaiiowed. Il would
be interesting to know how and why
and by whose authority the unex-
pended balance Of this fund has been
kept available. and for what variety
OF purposes and upon what kind of
vouchers Il has been Illegally Gvawn
upon through all these years.
also call attention 10 the fact
that IL is provided by section 103 of

THE NEW EARTH" AS
NOON DAY SUBJECT

Rev. wyatt II. Brown, assistant rec
tor of the st. Johns Church of this
city. was the speaker again yesterday.
at the MONDAY Lenten services at the
Majestic Theatre. His subject was
'"rhe new earth, which Isiah saw with
his eye of prophesy. and in which we
live ana move and have our being
Rev. Mr.. Brown wildly pictured this
new earth and how II came into the
world when Jesus Christ came into the
world AMI how up to the time OF his
coming, men were trying to solve the
problem OF life. but after his coming.
they tried to in. their daily lives. to
realize the solution. they had found.
He further pointed out that with this
new earth came free government. gen.
eral education and woman's equality
with man.
Rev. Mr.. Brown first disclosed how
free government and democracy began
with Jesus Christ. by his declaration
OF the sonship of God. the brotherhood
Of man. and the creation of all souls
equal for Christ said: Render unto
God the things. that are Gods and unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars
because God appointed Caesar for the
public well, and told him that he. who
would be chief among them, would be
the servant OF ALL Next. the speaker
into this new world by teaching the
doctors of law In the temple and
spending three years OF his life with
the fishermen. Woman's freedom and
equality with man came into the world
at this time also as motherhood was
sanctioned by God in the birth of
Christ Of Mary.
Continuing Rev. Mr.. Brown said:
Christ came and said. 'Ye shall know
81, he 10 ..aNto
free Hence the best institutions and
inspirations of life which we enjoy to-
day began with the coming Of Christ.
and those things which we love In this
world came not from our human nature
but from our Christly nature. The
Greek man was the highest type. intel
iectuaily, the old world knew. yet the
Athenian cared not for the common
people who toiled ami sweated on the
Biraean Way, for they were thought
only fit to labor, suffer and die. The
Roman man was the highest type OF
strength and courage In those oiden
days, yet when Caesar came back in
triumph no pity was bestowed upon
the despairng hordes of wounded men,
ravished women or sobbing children.
The old Jew was the highest type OF
spiritual humanity. yet consider the
treatment of Cisera at the hands of
SoCAs lHc WiA6 Va hiVbcNs kuS fASNnItc
and the Hebrew bard sang Blessed
shall Jael be-
Rev. Mr.. Brown concluded this
magnificent address with:
Mature watts the soul above,
Heaven itself descends In love"
God came down to man In Christ
and God is love. We therefore worship
GOD. the God OF love. and are moulding
ourselves and the world In which we
live into an image of that God, into the
image of love Divine"
