THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

From time time have made mention in these col
uns of the decadence of church and theology brought
about by intellectual conflict and the eternal struggle OF
thought toward more enlightened and more perfect
freedom Innumerable evidences at hand concerning
the rapid decnaon of the orthodox religion and many
different are being assigned.
No thinker expects anticipates any sudden change
in the worlds religious notions All religions die hard
The transformation from religious thought to another
gradual process All religions refuse to change until
the pressure of public opinion compels it, and the step
deemed by in charge be advisable in order to pro-
long life, sort of desperate remedy much as physician
will find it necessary to take chances in extreme case
The drift towards heresy is marked among the
Protestant secs than in any other branch of tie Christian

quite read of startling utterace made by
Protestant preacher, indication that they in
cned break through theological restraints and the time
be far distant when ratonaism will have thor

their enlightened brethren fogeys and fossils
incapable of progress, and fitted for barbarc

According a issue of the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph, two preachers, smarng under the whip OF
theological authority have dared deliver singing
plies orthodox criticism and have joined in Wig
declaration that the church is in need of reform 1t
may have taken these gentlemen long time to find out
that fact but they realize it, and do not hesitate to
speak out These gentlemen Rev. A. c. Diefenbach,
pastor of the Church of the Ascension and Rev. j. H.
Dietrich pastor of ST. Marks church, both in Pittsburg
Rev. Diefenbach is quoted as saying:
81 am little interested in Christianity. The
behavior of some of the brethren is simply that of
who have taken, parrot-like, the dogmas distrb-
uted in their days at school, They do not think for
themselves; they do not study they do not grow So
they retailing lot of rubbish that the people
are sick of hearing"
Rev. Dietrich is also quoted as saying:
81 have reached period in religious development
when / no longer feel constrained by an external
authority. / refuse to have the church dictate to
what shall be preached who shall preach it
from my pulpit The minister who thinks is bound
to outgrow the standards of his church.
These are the most encouraging signs that have APP
peared upon the theological horizon in America for some
years past The words quoted signify desire,

limitations that have been set for the purpose of preserving

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
Tho Leading Stocks.

New York, Sept 1.-The almost stag
nant condition of the trading today threw
some mystery over the turbulent stock
markets of the last two weeks and made
it difficult to explain the sudden with
drawal of the operators whose congested
dealings in few stocks were response
shares daily totals which succeeded each
other day after day. Conditions bearning
on values have undergone no chance to
correspond with the sudden cessation of
the speculative activity. The feverish-
ness of the interest manifested in the
health of e. H. Hartman has abated
and this seems the only explanation to of
fer of the change in the complexion of
the market. The withdrawal of orders
on the large scale recently prevailing sug-
gested more than anything else that the
capitalists responsible for them had con-
cluded to let the market rest for a time.
The punishment administered to the
bears on Monday served to admonish
them that the bull party was able still to
exercise control of the market. This is
timidity of the bear party since that
time. The renewed ebulition from Bos-
ton through the medium of the adver-
Using columns and the telegraph had its
effect in the latter part of the day and
impaired some new courage to the bear
party, but they re-bought hastily. The
lethargic demand manifest throughout
the day was calculated to invite attack
from the bear party in the speculation.
The less favorable crop aspect was dwelt
upon. to some extent to warrant the con-
tenton for lower prices. Further de-
tailed accounts of the condition of cotton
emphasized the expectation of showing
of serious deterioration in that crop in
the government estimates to be published
tomorrow.
The cotton stocks, both amongst the
railroads and the industrials, were among
the few to show some strength today
But the large part played by cotton eX-
ports in our foreign trade makes the
prospect of that crop of peculiar interest
at this time, owing to the Importance
of the exchange situation on the future
of the money market. Last years de-
| cline in exports of merchandise and the
very heavy imports threw the exchange
situation out of normal. In order to tide
over the situation American borrowings
| in Europe have been very large estimat
| ed by some authorities at as high as

| ness against this country. Reliance has
| been placed on a subsistence of the exces
SiVe import movement and upon the plac
| ing of some forthcoming issues of rail
road securities abroad as well as upor
the exports of domestic products to af
| ford resources for meeting this indebted
| ness as it natures. A serious shortag,
| of eXportable cotton would upset one fac
tor in these calculations. Time rates

IF king plays baseball next year,
