Back Gifts.

The Rev. G. W. Mcpherson last night
opened the summer session Of the Tent
hvangel, 125th Street and Morningside
Avenue, with a fierce broadside against
Union Theological Seminary. He
openly accused the institution of teach
ms inhdelity, designated it as pagan,
and called upon the Evangelical Church
IN America to make it "odious, by
word and kissing in the thoughts Of
all self-respecting Christian men"
Union Theological Seminary stands
for the new theology" Dr. Mcpherson
said. This theology gets rid Of the
supernatural and interprets all life
from the standpoint of the natural As
taught at Union, it rejects the infall-
bility Of the Bible, has no room for
the Virgin birth. the resurrection of
the body and the temperance Of
Christ. The very Bible itself is twisted
and distorted TO suit the new creed of
the evolutionists.
Cannot Dodge Issue
These facts account for the utter
ances Of graduates Of Union Seminary.
The question before the Church to-day
is, Whom shall we beIieve-the teach
ers Of modern evolution or the writer's
of the Bible, Herbert Spencer or Jesus
Christ, the Apostle Paul or Union Sem
mary This is the issue. We cannot
dodge 1t. The fight is on.

 Premier Asquith has informed the British house of commons that it was the intention of the government to in troduce the bill for the erectiol- of the new government of Ireland before the adjournment of parliament for the au- tumn recess. He expressed the hope that the bill would be introduced very soon.
 William O'Brien asked why, if the premier wished ''the thanks of every human being in Ireland" he did not block the project altogether.
 Replying to another question, the premier said permanent settlement of the Irish question would be considered at an imperial conference after the war. Submission of this matter to such a conference, he continued, was a subject in regard to which both par ties to the arrangement in Ireland were in agreement.
 MT. O'Brien suggested that the whole question be held in abeyance until 1t could be taken up by the conference.
 We are dealing with a situation which is urgent" MT. Asquith replied

CHECK PARALYSIS
 AFTER 400 DEATHS
Cooler Weather and Sanita-
 tiOn Curb Epidemic.

Cooler weather, rigid isolation of pa tients and sanitation enforcement are checking the infantile paralysis cpl demic in New York and New Jersey. Only ninety-five new cases have been reported and fourteen deaths. This brings the total number of cases to date in New York city up to 2,O54 and the total number of deaths to 400. In New Jersey there was a big falling off in cases and deaths.
 Acting on Dr. Simon FleXner'S the ory that personal contact is one of the greatest means Of spreading in- fantile paralysis, pr. Alvah H. Doty, former health officer of the port, has begun the work of tracing movements of all families which have been ex- posed to infection. This following up of supposed carriers of the germs of the child plague is made possible by the recent gift of $o0,OOO from the Rockefeller foundation.
 Dr. Leland c. Cofer, health officer of the port of New York, has received the following letter from Governor Whitman:
 It appearing to my satisfaction that a serious condition exists in the city of New York from the disease known as infantile paralysis and under the power conferred upon me by the statutes made and pro- vided in such cases I hereby direct you, as health officer of the port of New York, to take all measures needed to assist in eradicating and preventing the spread of such disease.

HOW TO AID FIGHT ON
 INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

Here is advice by health authori- ties on how parents and others. .can aid in preventing the spread of in- fantile paralysis:
 Keep away from houses placard- ed for infantile paralysis.
 Refrain from kissing or caressing children until complete personal cleanliness has been effected.
 A further routine precaution can be taken bYSusing a simple mouth wash of salt borax or l pAr cent peroxide of hydrogen. Watch the health of your child.
 An, ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 Do not lightly regard in children seeming unimportant complaints of headache, craknps or pains in the limbs.
