DYKER MEADOW CLUB BEATEN ON ITS OWN LINKS. Smart Work Done on Either Side The Victorious Team Scores Fifteen, While the Local Experts Manage to Gather Six Points. The Dyker Meadow Golf club house and grounds were crowded yesterday with pretty girls and society people, who are votaries of tho comparatively new sport of golf, the occasion being a match game between the home club and the Yale college goiters. Many of the women woro the college colors, and rejoiced heartily when tho Collegians were declared the victors by the score of 15 6. Beside winning the team victory one of old Elis men, Reid, creatod a new ground record, by doing the eighteen holes in HQ, tho former record, held by Chauncey, being S8.

The links were In splendid shape, and the entire absence of wind, made accurate play far less difficult than It ordinarily is on these grounds. The weather, too, was perfect for tho game. Experts consider the grounds even better this year than they were last. Two of the putting Greens have been put back a short distance, which makes the course fuliy as long as in the past, despite the fact that the fifth tee has been moved forward some sixty yards. A number of new bunkers have been built, which add materially to the difficulty of the course.

Rold and Crittenden, the first pair out, halved In six. Reid was three up at the ninth, having wen the sixth and seventh, Crittenden having won the eighth. It took six strokes for Reid first hole, Crittenden doing it in five on the second round. The Yale man played a truo game thereafter, making the round in 36 strokes. Crittenden halved three of them and was seven down at the end.

Terry and Norrls, t.ho second pair out, also played a close game. Terry, the Yale man, would have won had he not fallen off considerably from his previous form in tho second round. Norrls played a very steady game, and winning.

A. Smith. It looked an easy thing for the Dyker man, but the next four holes were halved and Smith won the two following.

This evens things up more, but Smith ran into bad luck at the bunkers and lost on that account.

May 6 There is trouble in the Congregational church of this ordinarily quiet village, simply because the pastor, the Rev. George N. Hertzog has tendered his resignation to the board of trustees of the church and accepted a call to the Presbyterian church at Cedarvllle, N. J. Mr.

Hertzog has been here for the past four years and Ms term of one year expired on Che first day of April last. On the 28th day of March the members ofthe church decided to extend a call to the pastor for another year, and Deacon James A. Seymour and Trustee James M. FusseM were appointed to wait upon the pa3tor and state their terms and conditions. The deacon acted as chairman.

He informed Mr. Hertzog that his salary would be $800 a year, with three weeks' vacation Instead of four, as "was customary "in previous years. After considerable argument the minister finally consented to accept the call for another year. At the conclusion of the evening services on the 18th of April (Easter Sunday), the pastor Invited the hoard of trustees, which Is composed of Thomas B. Seaman, Dr.

William Rhame, James M. Fussell and Deacon James A. Seymour, to call at the parsonage on Thursday, April 29, as he bad some special business to transact with them. When the board called Mr. Hertzog politely read his resignation.

The trustees were amazed and Indignant. They bid the minister good night and got" out. The resignation will be submitted to the members of the church on Sunday evening next for action. Deacon Seymour had this to say of the matter: "I have been a deacon of this church since It was organized, which was about seven years ago, and we never had a pastor act In such a manner before. I do not blame him for advancing himself, as that Is human nature, but I am opposed to the abrupt way he resigned, as I am under the impression that it was his duty to ask the members of the church to release him.

Mr. Hertzog made this statement to the Eagle correspondent: "I am surprised that my resignation has caused so much hard feeling, and I was moro amazed when I learned that a rumor was circulated that I was to receive $2,000 per annum, which is absolutely foundatlonless. I was called to this church four years ago last April as a supply, but was never installed, and this matter is principally between me and the members of the church. Had I been installed it. would be a technical point for the Manhattan council to decide.

My call td the Presbyterian church of.Cedarvi.lle, N. is the Lord's call. It Is not a financial matter, as the members of the Congregational church suppose. My salary there Is to be $800, exactly the same as I am paid here; but the. church has a bona fide membership of 160, located In a village of 1,500 inhabitants, which will widen my field of labor.

Belford. At the regular meeting of tho Fonelon sod ety, held on Tuesday afternoon In the Pouch mansion, the chief feature on the programme was a paper on "The Bible," read by the Rev John L. Belford. Father Belford said: The Bible is essentially the book. To th rest it is what the sun is to our system.

Tha faith of millions depends on Its character. Its Inspiration, integrity and veractiy ara more Important than any other question. It is not strange, however, that no Catholic took part In the recent discussion of Its nature andi its oiaims. The church had no quarrel with the more or less learned exponents of biblical lore. Her position has never changed.

Our belief needs neither comment nor apology. No discovery can alter it. A child can comprehend it. The greater truths possess man. They come to him as soon as he can think.

Such arc the existence of God, His wisdom, power and goodness. Nature tells us that wer belong to Him and are responsible to Him for all we do. But there are things which God haa revealed. As the revealed law determines thaf natural so does the revealed truth explain and confirm the self evident. Every Christian be lioves that Uod has made his will known Human history is woven with the record ot His manifestation.

He spoke to the first man. He rebuked the first murderer. He laid tha foundation of human society in a ctxlo that even the Infidel counted SU" perhumanly wise and superlatively necessaryf We talk about the sufficiency of reason. What" reason has done can be seen in the fate ofthe nations that knew not God. It drew a film of culture over moral stagnation.

It! produced a society in which there was no home, no religion. The homage it demanded for deity was the annihilation of decencyJ The greatest thinkers tried and strove when the world was worst. They could not stem! the tide of evil. Man was deaf to the voice? of man. Yet, there was light.

One nation knew God. In one temple there was reverenco and worship. Around that nation the God) of truth built a wall. He made Its laws. Ha was its guide, Its general, its king.

He actedt however, by human agents. That nation do manded a human king; God granted its request, but the record of his reign was kept with the reverenco due to a record so sacred Moses compiled and wrote the story of th; world down to his day. That story was completed by his successors. Then came tha prophets. Though they were often rejected, their message at length prevailed, for someone was always found wise enough to recoref, and preserve It.

Reason failed to reform man. Divine wisdom manifested itself by human agents and it failed. To save the world there was need of one who would be at the same time divine and human. Such an one coma in the person of Jesus Christ. In time past God spoke from a distance, by prophets.

Last of all, He spoke by His own Son. "He came unto His own, but His own received Him not." He was the Truth. When Juda cried out, "We will not have this man to reign over us," it finally forfeited its mission of keeping the truth. The record of divine revelation passed from it to the church which Christ provided and which He sent with the commission: "Preach the gospel to every creature." He gave to her the inspired writings and traditions. He made the holy spirit her guide and under that guidance He sent her to teach ail truth, to all men.

forever. He Himself trained the first teachers and when He ascended on high He sent the Holy Spirit to teach them all truth and to enlighten then with the spiritual light of His presence. The apostles were essentially preachers. They stood in synagogue or market place 'and showed the Jew that Christ was the one foretold by the prophets or convinced the Greek that Christianity was too wise for a man to invent it. They told their story so well that the world believed them.

Ten years after the death of Christ His name waa known and His church was established in Antioch, Kphesus and Rome. Under this lies the great fact thus far not one word of the New Testament was written. This part of the Bible is admitted to be tho most important for Christianity, yet the church existed twenty five years before ono word of It was written. If for twenty five years men became Christians without the Bible why not for 2r0; why not for The apostles believed that the church would always teach as Christ taught them to teach. They did not dream that a day would come when the church would say to the seeker fcr truth here is a book; read that and you will find it.

However, they began to write about A. 1). fil. One wrote to show that Christ Is tho Messiah foretold by the prophets. Another wrote to show that He is truly God.

A schism is the occasion of one epistle. Another is wrlrten to glorify the Christian sacrifice and priesthood. These writings are founded on the Old Testament, so that the stream of revelation flowi.il into the church unbroken. Christianity, therefore, is not a reformation. It is a development of Judaism.

St. Peter and St Paul were put to death A. D. GS. Their death showed the church that soon no one could say, "What our eyes have seen, what our hand3 have touched, these do we give testimony." As the Jews gathered and kept the revelation of their fathers, so did the early Christiana gather and keep the writings and letters of tha apostles and disciples.

They kept them in their houses. In the catacombs, in tho prisons and vet! on their persons. In tho second century the church began to make the Bible wa know. She collected all the manuscripts she could gather. ICueh was examined, authenticated or rejected.

None was kept unless it could Ix shown come from the hand of an apostle or disciple of tho Lord. We can only conjecture how long it took to complete the work, but we know that tho fourth century came before tho church dared to speak with authority. Even then tiie collection needed revision. This work was done by St. Jerome.

Ho knew Latin. Greek and Hebrew like a native. He gave his life to the work, and. in the vulgato has left us the grandest, monument man ever raised, the richest legacy man ever left. This Is the Bible tho church recognizes.

It was made in the fourth century. For 1.200 years it was studied, revised and corrected before It was finally adopted, at tho council of Trent, in ihe sixteenth century. Every Catholic Bible must conform to this edition, and no Catholic may buy, read or keep a Bible that does not have a certificate that It has been found duly authentic. Thus the church tries to keep tha Bible pure. Her zeal to make it known is shown by tho fact that in all her services she reads it or chants it.

For ages she kept her monks busy copying it. "As soon aa printing was Invented," says Haliam, In his "History of Literature," "tho Bible was tho first book printed, and soon it was published in every known language." It has been said that Luther made the Bible known. Before he published his Bible there had annoared in Germany three diffi reire versions of the Bible. ami one or versions had gone through at least seventeen edkl mis. Hi' owns a thing to whom the owner gave it.

Christ gave the Bible to the church He founded to keep it, to interpret It, to teach It. She collected the re' onls that would otherwise have perished and translated them into every known language; gave them to every known nation. Sho teaches the truth from the liiblo by meana of living teachers. Sho regards it as a toxt boidt useful always, but best when read under guidanoeand care of a teacher. Catholics love Bible because it contains the truth.

They read It because It is Gud's word. They believe in Its inspiration so fully that they count It. blasphemy for any man to deride or deny it. The church has nothing now to say about tile Bible. For her It Is the message from heaven.

From her divine Founder she has its substance. From the Hnly Ghost she has its meaning. All tho world knows aliout the Bible it knows through her Tha rest, is only conjecture. It begins to appear evident at last that she is the only friend tha Bible has. Others deride, reject or deny it She is serenely silent.

She Is unmoved because sho Is certain, others are anxious because they only guess. MR. WADSWORTH'S PICTURES. Fifty Examples ol His Work in a Local Gallery.

Plans Making for a Division of Queens County AS A RESULT OF CONSOLIDATION. Some Residents of the Eastern Seotion Favor a Union With Suffolk Others Advocate Formation of a Separate County Government Discussing the Amalgamation of Huntington and Babylon Mrs. Halsey Takes Carbolic Acid by Mistake With Fatal Result.

(Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. May 6 Now that the Greater New York bill has bee signed by Governor Black, the agitation for a division ot Queens county and for the formation of a new county has begun to take a more definite shiape. A series of local meetings are being aramged, to be held In the various villages of Queens county outside the terltory to be incorporated into the greater metropolis, and at these meetings delegates will be appointed to attend a central mass meeting to be held, at some convenient point, easily reached from all parts of the towns of Oyster Bay, Hempstead and North Hempstead. There are two sets of opinions among the voters of these three towns In regard to the matter. One portion of the people are In fanror of uniting the three towns to Suffolk county, while another portion are in favor of forming a new county by a union with the towns of Huntington and Babylon, of Suffolk county.

The argument used by those who favor a union with Suffolk county is that the expense of erecting new county buildings will be saved, while those who laivor a separate county claim that the three towns of Queens would be entitled to their share In a division ol the county property and that this would go a long way toward providing the necessary funds for county buildings. They also agree with a majority the residents of Huntington and Babylon that the saving of the great, expense for travel and extra time consumed by litigants and witnesses at the courts and those doing business at the county offices, caused by the great distance to the county seat at Rlverhead, would far more than counterbalance any extra expense to the taxpayers caused by the building of a new sot of county buildings. The large property own ers of Long Island City, Flushing, Newtown and Jamaica are in favor of doing away with the extra expense caused by sustaining a separate county government within the territory of New York, and will a6k that their territory be united either to the county of New York or of Kings.

Mr. Quintard was Introduced by the chairman, and in the course of his remarks said: "A tax on incomes so graduated as to check and prevent tho accumulation of Inordinate wealth in tho hands of a few men, I believe to bo not only a truly democratic policy, but indeed ono vital to the life of this notion as a republic in which all citizens shall he equal in the eyes of tho law vital to the prosperity of all its citizens and tielpful to the downfall of tho power of that supercilious and growing cla'ss, who measure merit by wealth alone and to whom such every day virtues going to make up good citizenship, as honesty, capability and faithfulness tho old Jefferscnlan standards are things of no avail unless there arc added thereto a million of dollars and a coat of a rnis. "Tho Democratic party in these later days has come too. much under the dominance of these multi millionaires.

In the hour of its necessity in the last presidential campaign they deserted and gave tholr votes and influence to the Republican party, but wo may now note that as brighter skies for the Democracy are appearing all over the Union, they are now flocking back to their old seats In the upper pow of Democratic leadership as serenely as if nothing had For the men of Democratic faith who lust fail, believing conscientiously that the Democratic ship had been piloted into strange and disastrous waters, voted by way of protest for General Palmer or even direct for McKlnley, I would have no word of reproach. Their return to the Democratic ranks Is welcome and expected, but as they do not want to be re preached or censured for their pdlteal Action, as they do not want to be considered as prodigal sons, so should they not expect the fatted calf to be sacrificed for their benefit, nor the best robes in the Democratic household to be at once brought out for their investment. Reunited, the Democratic party will forget and forgive the past and with a bold front will again face the hosts of plutocracy, uf privilege and of high tariff exactions which are now temporarily dominant in the national councils. So may the twentieth century open under tho enlightened rule of ail the people embodied in a Democratic President and a Democratic congress malting laws for tho Republic under which taxation shall rest In due proportion upon all the people as they are able to bear it, and so adjusted, perhaps, that the millionaire shall find it to his interest to stop where he is and give other people a chance to catch up." At the conclusion of tho address there was a genoral discussion in which a number of those present joined and no two seemed to agree. J.
