M'WHINNEY He Speaks on "The Nazarene Teacher" Extended Abstract of the Address Brief Account of Dr. llcWhlnney's Life and Old and Re- tpected Resident of Franklin and a Man of Many Good Deeds.

This morning at 11: o'clock Dr. T. M. McWhinny delivered his lecture on" The Nazarone Teacher." It was a most thoughtful and carefully prepared address, an abstract of which i Dr. McWhinney closed his introduction -with the proposition that a diTinity set loot upon the earth to touch humanity into manhood.

It is a proposition that can only be proven by well authenticated history. We invite your attention to the first proposition that the divinity of wisdom is seen in the Nazarene's choice of themes of discourse and mids of Egypt which were then, are now and forever shall be one of the seven wonders of the world. The wisdom of the world knew much of science, especially mathematics and astronomy. It is believed that Fythogoras, the great mathematician could calculate the distance to the remotest star. They kuew much of literature.

The Aryan family in Central Asia 4000 years ago began to think and they thought out language, the Sanscrit, the mother of all tongues. The Nazarene teacher said nothing- of art, science, and literature. The world's wisdom knew much of philosophy, oratory, and poetry. In the Helles 3000 years ago the great men of Greece studied mental philosophy, to better purpose than any people have ever studied it since They knew much of oratory. This country bag produced great orators such as Clay, Webster, and John B.

Divinity began where human of necessity left off. Therefore, all the great themes coming within the perview of human thiakrag, such as the science of age, navigation, and political economy, art, science, and literature, philosophy, oratory and poetry, he left to man for the reason that human wisdom had been necessarily teaching these through the centuries, and took hold of the mighty problems, Deity, Duty and Destiny, thSmeswith which the world's wisdom had been grappling lor 4000 years to no purpose save to make "darkness more visible and confusion less confounding." That the world's wisdom has failed to comprehend God as universal father, man and universal brother and the world's immorality will be illustrated further on. The history of commerce gives em- pbasie to the fact that the science of agriculture has been steadily unfolded from the day dawn of civilization unto now, and if we judge the future by the past the time will come when the science will be so- thoroughly understood that the earth will produce seven fold more than it has ever produced before. The world's wisdom kuew much of navigation. Solomon, who lived 2300 years ago, had his ships upon all waters, his flag open to every breeze, as the materials out of which the temple was built were gathered from the four quarters of the globe, it is not improbable that Solomon's ship sailed over the Pacific ocean, came through theGoldenGate and anchored in the Bay of San Francisco.

The mysterious gold of Ophar may have been no other than gold gathered from the mountains of California. England has had her Gladstones, America her Clays, Websters, and Calhouns, but it is doubtful if any ol them were the peer in statesmanship of Aristotle, who lived 600 years before the Nazarene was born. In the light of history this man of God, Aristotle collected constitutions of not less than fifty nations and from these he made laws that governed Europe for 1300 years." The speaker called attention to the the Nazarene said not a word on the science -of navigation, agricultural or political economy. The world know a groat deal ol art, science and literature. The arts especially the mechsaical arts, sculpture, and painting, wore taught in the Athens 8000 yflars Near 4000 years ago wai built, the oldesi city in the needle find the Obelisks sot up the They knew much of poetry.

Blind old Homer who believed no man could study philosophy until his. eyes were put out, has given food for the. musers during all the centuries and Iliad and Odyssey will live as as long as exists. So here again we observe that the Nazarene teacher said nothing on the subjects of philosophy, oratory or poetry. He took hold of the great subject: the mightiest problem of God, of human duty and human destiny.

His divine wisdom is manifest in that he left the world's wisdom to impart secular knowledge, while he took hold of the mighty problems ol human duty, and human destiny. His divine wisdom is thus seen in the choice of his themes, especially when these deep things were so fully revealed asithat all the accumulated wisdom of ages has not been able to reflect one solitary new thought upon any of theee themes. Secondly, his methods w.ere equally unique. He revealed liis truth in word, deed and spirit. He spake as man never spake, lived as man never lived, and died as man never died Infidelity has had much to aay of the mistakes of Moses, and the bad character of the men of the Bible; but when it approaches the spotless that he wii QENEBAL BALLINSTOX BOOTH.

'Do they ever answer back to you from the audience when you talk so savagely," was once asked Sam Jones. 'Yes, often. Every now and then a burnt sinner will squeal! Sometimes they get a good joke on me, day, in St. Louis, continued the preacher, laughing, -'An. awful funny thing happened.

I had been attacking the gamblers and drunkards for an hour, and I said a drunkard is lower than a dog. "Why," said "I've seen a man and a dog go into a saloon, and in an hour, the man would get beastly drunk, and stagger out like a hog, while the dog would come out and walk away like a "Just than a shabby, blear-eyed man arose tremblingly, and started -o leave the church. "Stop," young man," I said, 'stop!" "The young man stood still with a ihousand eyes on him." "If you'd rather go to hell than hear me on! 1 the man, after a pause, "I believe I'd rather." And out he went. The very uext night, continued preacher, I saw the same man in the audience. By and by I saw him standing up.

Well said I do you want, my man. 'I want to know, elder, if you think you can get the devil out of 'Oh I said but don't think it would improve you any. The little left would be worse than the devil."

lecture yesterday afternoon" From Oc cident to Orient, or Going up to Jerusalem." Who of you have not at some time or other, gone np to Jerusalem in presence or in spirit or in mind? The dreams of young and old ascend to this place, the center of the religious heart of man. "It is sacred to three religions, the Mohammedan, Jewish and Christian and each have their special. In January I made my first trip up to Jerusalem, aud my journey first led from the United States with Liverpool on my first stopping place- On board ship are many classes of people.

It was my privilege to be 0119 of twelve gentlemen to sign a petition which in the end prohibited these men from carrying ou their trade on this certain line of vessels.

"The old travelers form another peculiar class on board. These are willing to be very communicative upon all occasions, and as a rule, I have found them to be a set of "falsifiers. more relics ol the culture of Egypt Greece, and many other ancient countries, than the countries themselves." Rev.Sweeuey gave many amusing incidents of the passage of theKnglish channel, and gives as a bit of atl- jvice, "That every ono crossing it, I should be sure and cross bv the shortest way." On this bit of information he bases (he anticipation of a great friendship. "Our journey Ukos us to Paris then to Marseilles, and in three days sailiug on the Mediterranean to Joppa.

Miller. Dr.D. R. Miller made a very thoughtful address Friday afternoon on the subject, "The Delinquent Classes: Causes and Cures." What he said was well worth the earnest thought and careful consideration of every Americnn ia interested iu the great social problems of the day. An abstract of the address follows: "That the race are civil, industrious, and enterprising is a truth full of comfort and hope But that others are uncivil, wayward, indolent and criminal, expensive and dangerous to.tjie society is equally and fearfully-true.

My purpose is to direct your attention toward those termed 1 The were presented to better enable one to appreciate the social "Within the civilized countries the convicted criminals approximate an annual average in persons aa follows: Franca, Spain, In contrast to these are the young travelers, who. can ba well defined as 'interrogation points;" "But the preachers form the "aw- fullest" class on board.

Referring to the cost of crime, Dr. Miller said, "I submit that, according to our official cencus, the annual cost to the United States for a preventive, or police force, is over $15, 000,000. At present the estimate is $20,000,000.

But while I am talking, our great ship has borne us to the (lock of Liverpool. The great moorage pliice occupies some 200 acres of dockage, and 20 miles of stone pierage.

Here in Liverpool find two classes of people, for whom every true American is forced to blush. One of these is the American who is continually boasting of his country, and the other is that soft brained product ol our country which worships English aristocracy. I care not how many American girls lose their fortune and break their hearts in this pursuit of English titles. 'The journey up to as little slice of Paradise.
