I. L. Leucht lectured before the Thorn well Society yesterday evening at Grunewald Hall. A large audience greeted the speaker and demonstrated the popularity of the movement the Thornwells have Inaugurated. Mr.

A. A. Woods, the President of the society, introduced Dr. Leucht. and announced that tuc subject selected was the Mysteries of the Book of Esther." Dr.

Leucht first referred to the fact of a Jewish Rabbi appearing to lecture among Presbyterians, lie said "he was present to rpeak in defense of a sacred inheritance dear to every one whom the waves of materialism or atheism have not strangled in their poisonous embrace in defense of a book of Holy Writ that has been looked upon for centuries as a stepchild in that sacred family, because in it the Father's name is not mentioned. The singular fact that in the Book of Esther the name of Jehovah was entirely omitted has caused equal reverence and respect to be denied it, and it was even maintained that it should not have been received into the canon of Scripture. The lecturer said that it was his object to show that this very omisaion proved its truth as a liistorieal document. He first examined into the historical accuracy and value of tlie Book of Esther. There is but one king, Xerxes, the cruel, whom Ahasuerus can 1m recoimizcd.

He was a cowardly, cruel and self indulgent tyrant and was capable in moments of drr.ukcu revel to command the murder aud of his own subjects. One objection to identifying Xerxes with Ahasuerus was that the Bible says that Mordecai had been carried nway from Jerusalem into exile with those whom Nebuchadnezar, the Kins of Babylon, had carried into exile. In Xerxes' reign therefore Mordecai would have been 120 years oll, and Esther a virgin 70 years of age, not well adapted to ma.ke a lasting impression on a heathen tyrant. This can be met by saying that he did not leave In the immediate company of the king but belonged to those exHes who came after for many had left Palestine long before the destruction of Jerusalem. A more serious objection is that none of the exiled prophets mention Esther or Mordecai.

The very name of the lovely Queen "Hadassa," myrtle, should have inspired the lyre of many a Hebrew poet. On account of this silence on one of the grandest episodes of Jewish history, many critics are or the opinion that the book is a mere ro insnce. At' that time the larger portion of the nation had given up the hope of ever returning to Zion they were convinced of their physical weakness, nor had they the moral strength to break with their sinful past. But there was a minority who could not bear the idea of living outside of Jerusalem they were convinced that the Messiah would coui, and never doubted the regeneration of Judah and the fultillnient of their sole prayer Jerusalem. When the Jewish people were exiled this idea traveled with them.

aud those who lost faith in Judah's regeneration sought an alliance with the nations among whom they dwelt. Some ef Iheiu went even so far as to adopt foreign religious systems, and when the second Temple was built not oue tenth of the Jews returned to their country. They had become honored anil respected citizens in other countries, and thought it better to live in pence in exile than in strife at home. Among these can be classed Mordecai. He was certainly a man of high consequence, or Hainan would not have honored him with his hatred.

His bringing Esther to the King proved that he did not consider intermarriage with a heathen as a crime, if some great end was to be attained for his people, and his catint: of the King's table shows that the dietary laws of Moses had no value in his eyes when Israel's interests were concerned. The prophets looked with inexpressible disdain upon those who had given up all hope of ever seeing Zion, and they could not glorify a man or woman who held the very opposite convictions. Their inspired harps sang only immortal lays to their great ideal, and in their great souls there was no room for any doubt as to Israel's future. The speaker then turned his attention to the omission of Providence from the book. He said that the wonderful traces of the unseen hand could be perceived in every line.

The very existence of the Jew is due to Providence, and the Jew is God's greatest miracle, in spite of thousands of years of persecutions, walking upon the highways of the world a gigantic argument of God's endless goodness. In the very year that Torquemada, through Isabella of Spain, decreed the expulsion of the Jews, Columbus discovered America, which has since become the haven of liberty of all the op Sressed in the world. These, like the events i the Book of Esther, were not due to chance. Mordecai and his cousin had full confidence in God. He said to her: "Enlargement and deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place." This place could mean nought else but Providence.

Mordecai was obliged to speak to God in an enigmatic way, but it was to Him that hat tributed Esther's selection. No reference is made to prayer in the book. In the time when a great calamity threatened Israel, Mordecai and Esther did not appeal to God. They had not forsaken Him. If they bad the fate of their brethren would have been of little consequence to them, as Esther, at Mordecai's command, had concealed her nationality.

When the edict against the Jews was issued Mordecai cried aloud in the streets, but not to God. When the deliverance was complete there was merriment, but no prayer. These are strange facts in a book that has been accepted as inspired. After quoting the opinions of numerous Jewish and Christian writers, Dr. Leucht said that they were only ingenious apologies.

Had the name of God appeared in the book of Esther it would simply prove that it is apocryphal, and therefore not entitled to its place in the cauon of Holy Writ. The conquerors of Judea knew but too well that as long as the Hebrew were permitted to adore and to worship their Jehovah they would embrace every opportunity to rebel against their oppressor. Mordecai did not think it prudent to antagonize the Persians, and believed in a Judaism outside of Judea, therefore permitting his cousin Esther to become the wife of Ahasuerua and bring the empire under Jewish influence. There was a powerful know nothing party then that begrudged the exile the honor to serve the King as high officials. It can well be supposed that Haman had Mordecai closely watched and only sought a pretext like that which his praying to his God would have afforded.

He could not through Persian servants send word to Esther to pray to Jehovah, and hertold her that help would come from another place. She knew what that meant and found strength. Had he asked the Jews to pray publicly to God on one day it would have been high treason. And when Mordecai inscribed the great deliverance of the Jews upon the pages of the Court Chronicle he could not dare to ascribe their wonderful escape to anything else but to the kind Influence of the brutal King, for had he written God he would not have believed nor understood that the hearts of kings are in the hands of God. Dr.

Leucht concluded by thanking the Thornwell Society for its invitation, and hoped that its efforts to rai the literary taste of the city would be eminently successful, and that the spirit of tolerance and mutual esteem would grow and ripen until every one can find the name of God inscribed upon bis neighbor's brow. The speaker was warmly received and rewarded by close attention and hearty applause. The next lecture will probably be delivered by H. N. Ogden, In the latter part of January.

When the order had been completed, the tailor sent the suit to the boat, but the vessel was just backing out and the messenger left them at the office of Mr. Tremoulet, the agent of the boat, where Mr. Seovell could obtain them when he returned. A sneak thief, however, visited the store, and made off with the suit, subsequently disposing of them to Williams.

The barrel housekeeper in turn sold them to Mr. Weaver, a steamboat mate, and when the detectives traced the clothing and found that Williams had sold them, the latter denied ever having had them in his possession.
