Or. EIiAt on He'll.

In speaking OF hell DR.. Eliot says:
In the present day no educated per-
son believes in a he'll. This declara-
ton will no doubt be publicly disap-
proved by some rather archaic minis
ters and also by some editors OF re-
lig:ous papers.
"A new religion. the twentieth CEN
tury religion. is bound to come
whether it will prove as efficient to de-
ter men from doing wrong and encour-
age them to do right as the prevailing
religions have been Is a question which
experience alone can answer. In these
two respects neither the threats nor
the promises Of the older religions have
been remarkably successful in society
at large.
The fear of hell has not proved
effective to deter men from wrong
doing and heaven has never yet been
described in terms very attractive to
the average man or woman. Both are
indeed unimaginable. The great geni-
uses, like Dante and Swedenborg
have produced only fantastic and in
credible pictures of either state.
"The modern man would hardly feel
any appreciable loss Of motive power
toward good or away from evil if heav-
en- were burned and hell quenched.
1.-The prevailing Christian concep-
tions OF heaven and hell have hardly
any more influence with thinking peo-
pie in the present day than have Olym-
pus and Hades. The modern mind
Graves an immediate motive or leading
good for today. On this earth.
The new religion will builds on the
actual experiences of men and women
of human society as whole. The mo-
tive power it relies on has been and is
at work in innumerable human lives
and its beatiflc visions and its hopes
are better grounded than are those OF
traditional religion. and finer. because
free from all selfshness and from the
imagery Of governments, courts, social
distinctions and wars.
among the masses OF protestants
some belief in the infallibility Of the
bible still survives, but the. opening
century will doubtless see the gradua
surrender Of this transitional belief
thruout the protestant world.
The nineteenth century has seen the
foundation OF the structure OF the
Christian system OF theology under
mined: the twentieth century Will see
it given over to the bats and to the

Ill Sort, Of Opinion,
LineoIn's RsIiaion.

Lineoin's Religion.
The religion Of Lincoln was extolled
as Of the highest type by Preston
Bradley. pastor Of the Peoples church,
| in his sermon.
"Lincolns religion was one Of hu-
manity and SERVICE" said the minister.
ION one occasion, when asked why
he had never Joined church, Lincoln
replied: Whenever any church will
inscribe over its alter as q qualification
for membership the ,Savior's statement
OF the substance of the law and the
gospel. Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart and with all thy
soul and with all thy mind and thy
neighbor as thyself."' that church will
join with all my heart and SOUL
Lincoln had no sympathy with tho
theologians. He repeatedly declared
that 1t was blasphemy for preacher
to twist the words of Christ around 80
as to sustain his own doctrine and
he often remarked that the more a
man knew Of theology the farther away
he got from the spirit Of Christ
John G. Nicolay, who knew the
great emancipator probably better than
did any other man. said: Lincoln. did
not believe in anything that did not
appeal to his reason. He did not be-
lieve in the atonement as 1t Is gen.
orally taught. nor did he believe In
miracles But he did recognize the
hand of Providence in his own life and
in the events of his country. He felt
the need OF seeking out a lonely place
where he could pour forth the longings
of his soul to the great universal good.
"Lincoln's religion was his unswerv-
ing honesty, his moral standards. his
efforts in behalf Of the despised and
rejected men. his faithfulness to his
cause, and his noble service to his
country.
His life had running through it
deeply religious current. 1t tempered
and vitalized his every act. To me the
crystallization of his religion Is in the
words he used to his best friend, Mr..
Speed, when he said: Die when
may, I want it said of me by those
who knew me best that l always
plucked thistle and planted a flower
where 1 thought flower would grow.
Here is religion enough for any man.
Deeply Religious Life.
What a wonderful life and how
deeply and sincerely religious. With
heavy burdens resting upon him, with
friends proving untrue and disloyal,
with a great grief ghawing at ihs
heart. still he went on.- Now he be-
longs to the ages. More and more in
the light Of present events are we
beginning to realize what his life
meant to this country. He made mis-,
takes. he faltered more than once, but
in the midst Of his failures no man
could question his sincerity. This is
the most satisfactory test OF a mans
religion. That is why that. to me,
Lincoln was the highest type OF
truly religious man." 2rjfr

FEED THE BIRDS.
Il efBurlfnRton HaWkeye.1


Some years ago there was consid'
erable agitation about feeding the birds
In winter. A heavy snow had fallen and
1t was said Thousands Of quail and otn-
er feathered creatures were starving as
a result Of their being unable to get
food. A plea was made that tho farm
ars donate quantities Of grain for these
hungry birds. Since then there have
been winters and lots of snow, but The
Hawk-Eye has not noted general cal!
for anyone to feed the birds.
Does this sort OF humanity go IN
streaks? Or is 1t possible our people
have forgotten that we have any ltv-
ing things that need feed these bleak
days?
WpAe this has been a rather open
winter, the ground is now pretty eff
fectually covered with snow and all
source Ct food supply has BEEN cut of
for the time being. The Hawk-E! !e
fears. as consequence, that there Is
just as much need for humane aid now
as several years ago, and that the
birds will appreciate generous sprink-
ling OF grain in the barnyarda thruout
the country.
Householders can also do much good
by scattering the crumbs from their
tables about the back yaris. The sight
OF many birds picking up these frag-
mcnts will repay any gooI hearted
person for the little trouble involved.

MRS, CARMAN INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
viii be Released Under Ball
Pending Trial

Freeport, L. l., July 17.-Mrs. Flor
ence Carman was indicted for man
slaughter in the first degree by the
Nassau county grand jury sitting at
Mineola. The jury reached decision
after two hours deliberation.
Mrs. Carman will be arraigned at
once and will plead not guilty. Her
trial will be fixed for the September
sitting of the supreme court at Min
cola. Her counsel will straightway Ask
for her liberty under bail, and unless
present indications miscarry the re-
quest will be granted and bill Will be
fixed at something not exceeding $p5,-
900.
Manslaughter in the first degree Is
punishable by imprisonment for a
term of not exceeding twenty years.
1t will be possible, however, for the
Jury that tries her to bring in YER
dict of manslaughter in the second
degree. Such a crime is punishable by
IMPRISONMENT for a term not exceed
ing fifteen years or a fine not exceed
ing $1,000.
So it is pretty certain that Mrs. Car
man will be back in her home by this
evening and to all intents and pur-
noses a free woman. The indictment
has not ruffled her composure any
more than did teh ordeal OF testltying
at the coroner's inquest.

purces at their hands.

Speaking of the canal proposition,
he said it is just as simple as A,
B., C. Nature has cut the expense
in connection with the canal in
half; at other places we have dug
canals where it would cost four
or five times as much as this one,
and where the benefits to be OBJ
tanned were not half so great as
yours. This canal of yours bene-
fits both ends; the people at the
other end find a market for their
fish, oysters, crabs, and will be en-
abled to buiG up a large bust
ness in growing early truck, ber-
ries, fruits, etc. They will be brou-
ght in closer touch with the mar
kets and will grow very rapidly
Cambridge will get these fish, oys-
ters and crabs, and will be able to
sell the people of that section
many of the goods which they are
purchasing elsewhere. The farm
ers along the line will be benefit
ted, for they will be able to put
their corn, wheat, tomatoes, fruits,
ETC., in a boat and bring it TO
the station, or wharf, or canning
houses, for one-half of what it
now costs them. So that every
one will be benefited.

Frank Furst, the well-knoWn Bal
timore business man, who is identi-
fled with many Of the largest bust
ness interests in that city ,and who,
as the head of the dredging COM
panies that are doing almost all of
the large dredging operations in
this country, is recognized as prob
ably the leading authority ON this
class of work, was in Cambridge
yesterday, having come here at the
request of the Town Commission
ers, to look into the matter of some
dredging in the harbor, and while
here, was taken over the route of
the proposed canal.
After carefully examining the
route, Mr.. Furst stated that it was
one of the simplest canal PROPOSE
tions that had ever been brought
to his attention. Nature seemed to
have intended this canal, and had
done a great deal of the work her
self, as IS shown by the depression
that extends from the creek

tance. There are absolutely mo diff
ficult engineering feats in connec-
ton with the work, and when ask
ed if he would send an engineer to
make an estimate of the cost, Mr..
Furst stated that he would be glad
to cooperate in any way at all,
and that he would get in touch
with Col. Beach, the Government
Err ineer, and ask him to have the
nate made
Really" he said, "there is no
necessity for doing this; you have
county engineer here, and he
can do the work just as well as
anyone else And he added,
There's another thing; if I were
you folks, I would simply buy
cheap dredge and go ahead and do
this work yourselves, instead of
paying some contractor profit for
doing it. 1t is just as simple as
can be, and there is no reason why
you should not do it,
Mr.. Furst was enthusiastic over
the prospects of this section, and
stated that as he rode along the
roads and saw the fields covered
with unthreshed wheat. the splen-
did prospects for corn, the large
acreage of tomatoes, and the orr
