The Elephants Revenae.

In the autobiography of Mr.. Lindley
Murray a passage occurs from which
it appears that one of the clearest
heads that ever engaged IN the bus-
ness of analysis was well nigh cracked
by simple agent for II snIall onensp.
In the year l1Tl he visited The ele-
plants at the queens palace and, from
whatever motive. venturcd TO with
draw Il portion of the hay which one
of them had been collecting with his
probUscis on the floor. The little af-
front offended the sagaCiuus animal
highly. The keeper remarked that he
would never forget, aud it was obvious
from the rapid convoluiions of his
trunk that he only wanted an oppor
tunity TO avengc the misHpproprution
of his property on the spot. The gram
marian, however, kept out of his way,
probably thinking no more of the mat
ter. until he Glanced to revisit the
same place after an interval of several
weeks. on this occasion Il number of
other persons were present. but of the
whole the elephant singled out his en-
emy and aimed desperate blow at his
head, which, fortunately, neither prov
ed fatal nor took effect.

Rev. Il. l.. WeatherwaX took as his
text yesterday morning And God
said" and spoke of the significance
of these words which are found so
frequently in the Bible.
"ln the study of the great literary
passages of poetry" said the speaker,
prose and story and history of thiS
great Book, we are almost startled as
there flashes upon our consciousness,
the thought that we are standing i'm
the immediate presence of the Infinite
with unquestioning authority and un-
limited knowledge and power when we
read the short but tremendously sig
niticant words which form the text
And God said unto the elements ana
then unto man, he said unto Adam,
to Abraham, to Elijah to Paul, to in
dividuals and to nations.
at would be very interesting and
profitable If we were to study the will
and command of God and His prom
ises to the people in different ages of
the past, but rather we shall speak
of the attitude of Gods people toward
His commands and promises"
Rev. WeatherwaX spoke to some
length of these commands and of the
inclination Of so many to turn away
that they might not be heard or hard
en- their hearts as the pharoahs Of
old and refuse to obey. He stated
that some failed to hear the call, that
many are perhaps listening for a
greater word, or expect the voice to
be different; or the hearts may be
inclined toward something vain and
selfish and they cannot heed the COM
mand. There are mpediments in our
paths, as the wealth of the rich young
man forbade him to follow the call.
In conclusion the speaker said: 81
have studied these commands ana
their answers and | am constrained
to think how much like those ancient
people we, Of 1910, are. God spoke
to Israel from Sinai To you and |
dear friends. God has spoken from
CalVery. / sometimes think that In
these days of rush and noise of busl-
ness and much hearing of the voice
of man, with the comparatively brief
time given to the reading and study
of the Bible, that we are In danger
of becoming deafened to Gods voice.
But my friends, God Is not far away
from this busy world and Its people.
And God said has said to you dur
ing this past year and viii say to
you this year" ...a

Mrs Mary Woodruff, the daughter
of Bishop A. p. Leonard, and one of
the best known women interested in
the Home missionary work spoke
yesterday morning on her work at
the Epworth NJ Il. church and at
Wesley in the evening.
In her talk yesterday morning,
Mrs. Woodruff developed some ex-
cellent points relative to the progress
of this work She first discussed the
negro problem and the opportunity
and necessity of doing missiouarv
work among a people that are citi-
zens and equals I'm his country. She
stated that the negro was not brou-
ght here of his own volition, but AS
Il slave carried into the country. that
he was and is practically at the
mercy of the white people, and as we
nave taken the burden upon our
selves, it behooves us to at least give
as much religious training as posi-
Die to him. She stated that the ne
gro IN the south, especially, needed
our missionary work. Much of this
Is done through the schools that are
Delng established there i'm increasing
numbers, but much more remains To
be done.
Mrs. Woodruff sympa thized with
the Indian. she stated that there
were hundreds of thousands of Ind
ians i'm this country, an dof that
number only a very few are reached
fact that greater effort was not nut
iorth to reach these eXilcd savages
in their own land.
In touching on the subject of the
Mormans, the speaker stated they
were continually breaking our laws.
Our constitution and laws permit
freedom of worship. we do not OBJ
jcct to the crecds and doctrines of
these people, or their beliefs in them.
but when the practices of their re-
ligion conflict with our laws of gov
ernmcnt and state, the government
| should take u hand i'm them. The
speaker sitcd number of incidents
In which the Norman has a law
breaker and threatened the founda-
tion of our laws.
Thousands of immigrants visit
| our lapds yearly. said Mrs. Wood
| run. They pour onto our shores
| from every country, bringing with

"Rolalind at Red Gate" is the first
really good legitimate attraction seen
at the Atheneum this season 1t was
PLAYED yesterday afternoon and again
last evening, both times to audiences
that frequently manifested their ap-
proval of the piece and the work of
the players. Jean Ward the prn-
cipal character in the cast, playing
the double role Of Rosalind and Hell
en- Holbrook, is an actress of no small
amount of real merit, and the play
itself is an excellent vehicle for her
ability. 1t also serves William Mar
BILE, jr,, well in portraying the char
acter of an Irish adventurer, which
Is certainly we'll adapted to his style
of acting. The individuality of his
work attracts. He does things in
his own way, in fact 1t is an alto
gether different character than Is
generally allotted to an Irish role In
this play the Irishman Is not joke
but n serious prooosition. He puts
his wits to good use in ferreting out
a mystery which involves the settle
ment of an estate. 1t is after falling
i'm love with Rosalind however that
he applies himself to the task, and
in the end he wins.
Miss Ward and Mr., Marble are as
sisted by competent troupe. Gui-
seppe, an italian, is we'll played by
Dick Tracy AS Arthur Holbrook,
James Nelson was fully equal to the
requirements of the role and Frank
Curtis. Ethel Ramsdell and II. j.

The play was intensely interesting
