BISHOP GRAVATT AT ST. PAUL'S.
Powerful Sermon Delivered Yesterday
By West Virginia Bishop.

At the morning service at St. Paul's
Yesterday, Bishop Gravatt, of West,
Va, propounded to the congregation a
very clear and powerful sermon upon
tbs text: "To Him That Hath, Shall
be Given Abundantly,. and TO Him
That Hath Not, Shall be Taken Away
Even That That He HATH"
Everyone familiar with the parable
Of the talents from the gospel of st.
Matthew has paused to consider why
this seeming injustice should be an ex-
ample in our religious training. Those
fortunate enough to have listened to
Bishop Gravatt's eloquence and fol-
lowed his reasoning felt no doubt
why this law, which has surely beAn
proven the first great law in the fl
nancial world which certainly exists
in the moral world, should be the ma
tural law in the religious world, also.
Bishop Gravat pointed out the fact
that the kind Donor had passed no
ore by that we, each and all. were
given our five, two or single talent,
and the case of the buried talent, was
always one of inertia. Therefore
not using our capabilities. the natural
result to follow would be the di-
minishing of them. The old but ever
new cry of "1f / only had his chance!"
will not serve as an excuse to offer
up to the Donor of our gifts, for not
,using the opportunities that are pre-
sInted to us in the surrounding condi-
tions of our lives. The burying of
our talent resulting from the sin of
laziness, which so easily besets US,
and criticising our opportunities, by
comparison with those of others, caus-
ing our consciences to grow less die
tative.
The yearning of each heart is to
hear "Well done thou good and faith
full servant, enter thou into the joy Of
thy Lord" Yet the lack of will to be
using our talent to the best of our
ability, while sojourning in our earth
ly home-being rather forgetful of
the accountantship of our talents will
not win such praise from the Master.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The accession of DR.. Alfonso Costa
to powe ris responsible for desperate
political riot at Cezimbra, 1S miles
south of Lisbon. A fight started be-
tween Democratic and conservative
clubs, but soon the rest of the popu-
lation took sides. Revolver shots
were freely exchanged Detachments
of Republican guards hastily turned
out but failed to quell the combatants
until they fired several volleys into
the struggling mass. Then momen-
tarily the warning factions sunk their
differences and together turned on the
guard forces. Discipline, however,
prevailed, and finally the mob scatter
behind three men killed and
20 wounded. Many of the rioters

entire Turkish cabinet today decided
to resign. This, following the report
that the Turkish ministry contempled
calling general council, like that of
1879, for the purpose of shifting to
the people the responsibility of de-
Gliding whether to carry on war or
submit to humiliating peace, convin-
ced diplomats here that the Turkish
government was in an almost chaotic
state of mind
D.. Daneff the Bulgarian plenipo-
tentiary, who spent Sunday at Ok

was said, would exact from the Balkan
allies international Turkish territory
to make up for that granted Rou-
mana.

while music, Gods best gift to man,
has been stolen by Satan for our ruin.
Why, today ribald rhymes and dirty
ditto hes make decency vulgar and man
and woman openly sing what they
dare not say. '''' '' '-
at the expense of time; money and
energy we teach our children to sing
and play good music and then take
them to theaters and cafes where they
listen to suggestive and salacious
songs which pander to lust and seduce
to crime. Next day we buy music and
brig it home" - - =.
: At times. some members Of the con-
gregation joined in singing the rags.
especially when the preacher began 70

MYSTERIE SOF THE SPHINX.
Finds Temple of Sun and Ancient City
Gold.

That he has discovered the secrets
of the Sphinx was made known by the
authorities af Harvard Semitic Mu-
scum and the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts by Professor G. A. Reisner, Har-
ward Psychologist.
Inside the Sphinx he found temple
dedicated to the sun. The structure is
older than any fthe pyramids, and
the date is somewhere around 5000 3.
c., the most ancient in Egyptian his
tory. The tomb of Mena, the king
who made himself a god and who
fashioned the sphinx,is also within it.
There are tunnels leading off into the
caverns which have not yet been pene-
trated, for the work has only been 60
ing on six months.
The sphinx is carved out of the
natural rock, but within are the caves
and building of a city of gold which
was, perhaps open to the air.
At present the excavations are con-
fined to the chamber in the head. This
chamber is 80 feet long and IA wide.
It is connected by tunnels with the
temple of the sun, which rests with
in the paws of the sphinx.
Such relics as the "crux anSatia' the
looped cross, symbols of the sun. are
found by the hundreds: Several Of
these are gold and have wires fer the
tiny bells which, when sounded by the
priests, summoned up ghosts
Inside the Sphinx are also tiny
pyramids, although the sphinx was
built long before the great pyramids.
A pyramid in those times was g
god. The Pyramids of Cheops is ar
absolutely accurate timekeeper.
According to Professor Reisner
Egypt of today is one vast city. the
edge of which has been scratched and
the interior of which probably nevel
will be disclosed.
Professor Reisner hopes to discov,
er among the relics of the Sphinx
the secrets of the Egyptian priests
whose magic is believed to have beer
marvellous.
Pictures of the inside Of the heae
are being made and, will be- shown al

courses next winter. -r.
