John F. Carson Points Out Some of Them. The Rev. J. F.

Carson spoke last evening in the Central Presbyterian church on the sub ject: "Stumbling Blocks," his text being the words: "Offenses will come." Mr. Carson explained that the word translated "offenses" was the Greek word skandalon, which literal ly means a stumbling block. "It is the word," he said, "ttuu Jesus used when he said to Peter: "Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense unto me, a stumbling block in my 1 way." In a man' way to the kingdom of God the warld puts up many stumbling blocks. I False maxims and methods of business; principles of life, as when a brilliant infidel discusses the question whether life is worth living and Justifies suicide under certain conditions we are not surprised at the epi demic of suicides that follows. His teaching is a stumbling block to manhood.

The false teaching, the teaching against tho Bible, the teaching that denies the supernatural In religion, the teaching that repudiates the atonement of Christ all these are stumbling blocks in men's way heavenward. The indulgence r.t self in pleasure when men need our help, as the giving of a ball that costs half a million when within ten minutes' walk of the house of feasting are men and women starving and crying out for a crust of bread. It is an immoral teaching that a man has the rlsht to do what he pleases with bis money. No man has the 1 right to do what he pleases except when he plcasos to do what Is right. The church often puts stumbling blocks in men's way heaven ward, when the church lowers her standard and comos down to the world's level she becomes a hindrance rather than a help to men.

The weakness of the church to day is her spirit of compromise with the world. If she would have power over men she must come out from the world and be separate. The church does not need the social prestige of the financial backinc of men of corrupt lives and her power ln her unworldliness. A worldly church is an offense, a stumbling block. Christian people often become hindrances to men in their quest of heavenly life.

Ihey become this sometimes by misrepresenting the spirit of Christianity. They Interpret its spirit as being sad and somber and solemn. This Is a misinterpretation. There is as much crown wearing as there is cross bearing in the Christian life. The duty of delight is as much emphasrized as Is the duty of denial.

The most delightsome thing in all this world is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. At his right hand are pleasures forevermore. There are tasks in the Christian life and weighty responsibilities, but His "yoke is easy and his burden is light." It is a wrong conception of the Christian life to regard it as a matter of solemnity and somberness and interpreting it as such is to throw a stumbling block In men's way to the higher life. The Inconsistencies of church members are stumbling blocks. The church member who does not pay his honest debts, who is tricky in his business, who is unreliable in his life and impure in his conversation is a mighty obstacle in men's way to God.

I am not justifying the men who stumble over these obstacles, for they ought to look for their ideal life to Christ and not to the Christian. John Raskin used to warn students 'in art against copying inferior paintings. He told them to go "to tlio galleries and sit down before the masterpieces of the great artists and copy them. The great masterpiece of Christian living is the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Copy that.

Look away from the imperfect Christian to the perfect Christ. He hath loft us an example that we should follow ln his steps. When Agesilaus was asked to go and hear a man who mimicked the nightingale he answered, "Why should I when I have heard the nightingale myself?" Christ is before men as their model. Why should they follow another? HOUSE AND HOME EXPOSITION. Leading Eusiness Men and Divines Unite to Aid the Home for Falien Women.

its well and contributing in no Inconsiderable extent to the purity and greatness of greater New Ycrk. and how lots were drawn to see who was respon slble for the storm. How' Jonah got the short; straw and confessed that he was fleeing from his God and was tossed Into the briny deep. "Then," said the doctor, "the great fish which was created by God for the occasion was there and swallowed him. There is no reason to call it a whale, only because whales are great fishes." The doctor described minutely how the fish swallowed Jonah and then he told how Jonah composed a psalm ln the belly of the whale.

There was mirth In Dr. Abbott's voice as he said this, which brought up visions of typewriters and pen and Ink. There was a ripple in the audience which burst into a loud laugh. The doctor then read at length the psalm and the congregation kept laughing as he proceeded. Then he told how Jonah was tdssed out upon a sandy beach and then went to where he was sent and preached repentance to the people of Nineveh and predicted Its downfall in forty days.

The doctor said that God disappointed Jonah and made him out a false prophet by 'falling to destroy Nineveh. He told how Jonah went to sleep under a gourd which had grown up ln a single night and how God cut it down and left Jonah asleep ln the sun; how Jonah got angry with God and quarreled with Him and how God pointed out Jonah's Intercession for the gourd which had been destroyed and declared that He was as merciful as Jonah in sparing the great city of Nineveh. Then the doctor pointed out the lesson. He said: "I am sorry to have said anything which should cause a laugh. at God's word.

The lesson it shows is one of mercy, pity and kindness." It not possible iba: Dr. Abbott can, on re flection, feel otherwise than grieved by the merrimen which hie remarks elicited. If he 'jaa not been convinced by his critics that the purely lUemry metfaod in dealing with the Bible prcvokes irreverence, he must, as an observant man be deeply impressed by the exhibition of irreverence which came under his own vision losri night. Was it his intention to excite laughter by narrating a. story which tie says Is intended lo show "the kindness, the pity and mercy of God7'' His tardy rebuke jn the guffawing congregation may be his answieo to the query.

Then if 'ae did not to ridicule one of the books of A10 Bible; if he did not intend to create hilarity at tho expense of a sinner represented as praying to God, either he or his literary method sadly needs overhauling. While pastor of Plymouth churcti continues his lectures, the ministers of Brooklyn who are bringing men and women into the church by the scores, in ttie old fashioned way, by preaching tdo eld fashioned gospel of Chriat, wiil dcubt; ei5s reid with renewed interest Paul's charge to Tlmcthy: "I charge ttiee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Co rise, who Etiall judge the quick and the dead at HLs appearing, and His kingdom: "Preach the word; be instant In season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhert with all long suffering and doctrine. "For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their cwn lusts stall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. "And they shall turn away ttieir ear3 from the truth, and i'aall be turned unto fables." Dr. Abbott's ears should be burning, not itching, thiia day.

MUL. RECITING DIALOGUES. How Some Western Amateurs Played a Melodrama. Some young persons living In the neighborhood of Grange.vllle, a cross roads hamlet in Tularo county, had. learned by heart a melodrama that they played with such eclat and all that in the Good Templars' hall at Grangeville that they decided to go to Vlsalla, the county town, a place of about 4,000 people, and play there.

In that company every individual was not only dead letter perfect In his or her part, but everyone had memorized the entire play. On the evening, of the production the house filled, except one bench at the extreme rear, which had been left to me, as the town editor, and critic, of course. Those people came on the stage and went through their lines with much the same movement that one would have expected of wooden figures that could walk. In a love scene the lovers stood as If they were children reciting their lessons at school, and to illustrate the manner of reading, the young lady said: "Although there Is a smiie upon my face there Is sadness ln my heart yes andrl can laugh hay hay." In tho young man's speech occurred the savage expression, "S'death," and he yelled: death!" I sat up on that bench for a time and then reclined upon it, and finally rolled off to the floor, then escaped. The next morning it seemed as if I would have to be "prized" out of bed, I was so sore.

If someone could get a company like that and play It through the country, just as that company played, vast excursions would go to tho performances. It would earn money by crates full. It was the funniest play "that ever has beon seen, and yet it was a melodrama. Chicago Times Herald. ST.

AUGUSTINE'S FINE SHOWING. Father McCarty Gives Out a Fiuancial Statement. Tho Rev. B. W.

McCarty, the rector of St. Augustine's church, at Sixth avenue and Sterling place, gave out a statement yesterday of the financial condition of the church up to January 1. It showed the receipts amounted to and the expenditures, including the payment of 553,000 on account of tho bond and mortgage, to $72,000. The salaries of the rector and his two assistants were placed at only $1,670, and the cost of the organist and choir at $1,957. When the congregation took possession of the church In 1892, the indebtedness was $100,000, but this has been steadily decreased and now amcunts to only $57,000, which means a reduction of over a year! At this rate tho church will bo freo of debt in threo and years and ready for consecration Father McCarty also announces that three new marble altars which are being erected would probably be ready for consecration in four months timo.

Father McCarty is considered one cf the best financiers among the clergy of the city and the fine showing he has made is an evidence cf his untiring labor. He has decided to defer the construction of the new windows for a year or more. MAY FIGHT IN NEVADA.

Price, cent DR. CHAPMAN SUCCEEDS IN MAKING MANY CONVERTS. A Busy Sunday for the Philadelphia Evangelist Remarkable Scene in the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church. Close of the Meetings. The Rev.

Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, who is leading the union services of the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church, the Hanson place Methodist and Baptist churches and the Baptist temple, was a busy man yesterday. He spoko five times in as many different, churches. In the morning he preached at the Central Presbyterian church, Tompkins and Wllloughby avenues.

The church was crowded and many were unable to get in. The vestibule was full and so were the rooms back I of the church. Chairs were placed on lhe platform and in all the aisles. Tho congrega lion was greatly moved by the sermon. Pres ton Smith, a young boy, who has a remark able soprano voice and who came from Wash ington, N.

sang. In the afternoon at 2:30 Dr. Chapman ad dressed the Sunday school of the Hanson place M. E. church.

He took as his text! Isaiah 1:18: "Come now and let us reason to 1 gether." Justice Charles B. Teale had charge of the school, assisted by William Harkness. i On the platform sat John French, the superin tendent. Dr. Chapman made a practical application of the text and then asked all those who desired to lead a Christian life to come! forward and kneel and a great number of young people responded, as many as thirty one expressing their wish to Dr.

Banks, the pastor to Join tho church. Justice Teale encouraged the young persons by remarking that on Jan uary 28, 1858, when 14 years of age, he had been converted and he could say that no one could have a better guide, counselor or frleud than Christ. At 4 o'clock tho four Sunday schools gathered in the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church. The galleries and main auditorium were crowded. Preston Smith S3ng again, his selection being "The Church Across the Way," and the Rev.

J. F. Car'jon of the Central Presbyterian church, offered prayer before tho sermon. Drs. Gregg and Hanks, the Rev.

Cortland Myers and W. I. Somhorton were present. Dr. Chapman took his text from Ecclcsiastes "A threefold cord Is not quickly broken." He pointed out in strong terms that the threefold cord which made up his subject was the love of God, the Father, the sacrifice and death of Jesus.

Christ and the coming and work of the Holy Spirit. It was possible to be forgiven, and yet disobey Ood; to be unmindful of love. These two strands of the cord might be broken, but lo snap the last card, to resist the Holy Spirit, was for a man to leave himself without hope. The Father is revealed in tho Oal Testament, the at tho cradle in Bethlehem, and the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost. "This Is especially the dispensation of the Holy Ghost." said Dr.

Chapman, "and He is now seeking men everywhere. From His infant step to His dying breath on Calvary, Christ went seeking anyone who was a sinner, and the Holy Ghost has been on the same mission from the day of Pentecost down to the present time." An after mooting was held in the Sunday school rooms and many young peo ple again asked for prayers, and came forward and kneeled down. As at tho Hanson place, Sun day school, the scene was an impressive one. Dr. Chapman talked to a large audience of women only at the Hanson placo Baptist church at 7 o'clock in the evening.

His short sermon was intended especially for mothers. Dr. Cbapman 'toak his text from Proverbs xxxi 28: "Her children ariso up and called her blessed; her husband, alio, and he praiseth her." Like the two meetings of the afrer noon there was much interest manifested. Tho invitation to raise tho hand for prayers found responses all over tho house. Mrs.

E. M. Whlttemore conducted a meeting at 7:30 o'clock for women only, at the La fayetet avenue Presbyterian church. At the Baptist temple in the evening at 8 o'clock Dr. Chapman conducted a meeting for men only.

On tho platform sat tho Rev. E. F. See. secretary of tho Young Men's Christian association; A.

D. Matthew. Carman E. Hotfleld, D. W.

McWilliams, tho Rev. William Halligan, the Rev. Dr. David Gregg and tho Rev. Cortland Myers.

The Rev. W. I. Southerton led the singing, and he und the boy soprano, Preston Smith, sang solos. Ther was a large chorus choir of men.

Dr. M. Bowman was at tho organ, which was reinforced by' two comets. Every scat on the main floor and in the galleries was filled, there being more than two thousand men present. A song service preceded tho sermon.

Dr. Gregg made tho opening prayer. Dr. Chapman's subject was "Some Things About Dissipation, Infidelity and Moralitv." He took his text from Jeremiah xii: "How wilt thou do in the swelling 0 the Jordan?" Dr. Chapman touched upon the sin of Intemperance, saying that drinking was not a man's worst sin, saying ho would rather take a man to his homo whom he found reeling intoxicated in the streets than the Im pure man who stood condemned before God.

but whose exterior was smooth and polished. There is danger ahead in moderate drinking and it drags men down and others with them. "A fallen man," said Dr. Chapman, "is just as bad as a fallen woman. I have patience with an honest infidel, who tells me he cannot believe as I do.

but none with the man who would try to laugh me out of my religion and give me nothing in return, out of tho hope of meeting my sainted mother and my boy yonder." Dr. Chapman described the rising of tho Jordan, the filling of the three eaves in the mountain, and likened these caves to dissipation, infidelity and morality calling upon tho audience to beware of jheni all. He then Invited all to the after meeting in tho lower temple. After several prayers and testimonies more than a hundred mn went forward and knelt down. Mr f.r.., I and Mr.

McWilliams said that Brooklvn had never witnessed such a sight. Hundreds of i inquirers' cards were signed.

Dr. N'icoll, who came to this countrv v. i Mr. Barrle. read the American newspapers I while he was here, and audaciously admits that he likes them.

He has confessed to the Westminster Budget that, in his opinion, do American Institution is more misunderstood abroad than the press. He thinks our newspapers less sensational than thev st em to be and says very truly that you may look In vaiii in them for such matter as the divorce reports which the most proper English publish.

The members, who arc in alphabetical order 'Mirth Was Rampant in Plymouth Church Last Night" onah's Praise of God Provokes Laughter The Good Work of Inspiring Reverence for the Bible Progresses Merrily A Tardy Rebuke. In his arduous efforts to "make the reading of the Bible more intelligent, and, therefore, the reverence for it more intelligent and deeper," the' Rev. Dr.

Lyman Abbott has made a discovery which will doubtless confer unique distinction upon him. Dr. Abbott has discovered that the book of Jonah is a humorous work, a fit companion piece to the "Pickwick Papers." And It appears, from the reports of the lecture delivered last night, as printed in two morning papers, that the doctor is something of a humorist himself, for plainly humor of a high order is required to transform a Bible story into a subject for laughter, and no ordinary humorist would undertake to provoke merriment by the recital of penitent Jonah's prayer to God. Yet tho two morning papers agree that Dr. Abbott succeeded where less courageous and able humorists would have failed.

The Herald says: "The doctor himself contributed most to the hilarity of the occasion, and was especially humorous ln his reference to the composition of a sonnet by Jonah while within the whale." Andthe World says: "The doctor described minutely how the fish swallowed Jonah, and then ha told how Jonah composed a psalm in the belly of the whale. There was mirth in Dr. Abbott's voice as he said this, which brought up visions of typewriters and pen and ink. There was a ripple in the audience, which burst into a loud laugh." For the benefit of those who may not have their Bibles at hand, the prayer ot Jonah, the delicious humor of which was so humorously pointed out by Dr. Abbott, Is herewith annexed: "Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly.

"And said. I cried by reason of affliction unto the Lord and he heard me: out of the belly ot hell cried and thou heardest my voice. "For thou hadst cast me Into the deep, ln the midst of the seas: and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. "Then I said I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again to thy holy temple. "The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the depth closed me round about; thy weeds were wrapped about my head.

"I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever; yet hast thou brought up my Ufa from corruption, Lord, my God. "When my soul falnteth within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came ln unto thee, into thine holy temple. "They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. "But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord." Excruciatingly humorous, is it not, this declaration that oven from the depths of the sea the cry of the penitent is, by Jehovah? Funny beyond measure the mirth provoking cry of the penitent: "Out of the belly of hell cried I and Thou heardest my voice." It must have sounded immensely funny to the Plymouth church congregation as interpreted by Dr.

Abbott, for bhe World report of the performance says: "The doctor then read at length the psalm and the congregation kept laughing as he pro ceeded." The lecture delivered last night by Dr. Ab bott is entitled "A ijrama ot (jourt Liie. The title was probably selected, before the delicious humor of Jonah was revealed to the doctor, for his remarks last evening were more ln the line of comedy than drama. Dr. Abbott's lectures are to be printed in pamphlet form when they are completed.

The purely short hand reports of the lecture do not convey any information as to tho impressions produced on the minds of his auditors. That the readers of this column may form some sort of an estimate as to the progress Dr. Abbott is making in his professed intention to inspire a deeper feeling of reverence for the Bible, extracts from morning paper reports of his latest lecture are annexed: The Herald says: Jonah and the whale furnished an hour's mirth to Plymouth church last evening and the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the preacher, dissected the Hebrew prophet with a skill and a humor that delighted his auditors.

Indeed the audience became so hilarious at the close that Dr. Abbott obliged to call attention to the fact that the Bible Is accepted by all Christians as God's word and that its utterances are not fit subject for ridicule. But the doctor himself contributed most to the hilarity of the occasion and was especially humorous in his reference to the composition of a sonnet by Jonah while within the whale. "It makes no difference," the preacher said, "whether a irreat fish swallowed Jonah or not. No man Is better for believing the story and no man Is worse for not bellevlns It.

Christ usod fiction In parables in his discourses. Some people may be disturbed because they cannot bring themselves to believe the whale etory They should not go on their knees and asked to be coerced into believing It The foolishness Is in believing un bellev aDle things." He said that the adventures of Jonah had been called the "Pickwick Papers" of tho Bible. With great gusto he deEcNbeil Jonah's adventures in the 111 fated vefsel up to the moment when he was thrown overboard. "And a great fish came up," Dr. Abbott went on, "which God had ready there." and the para phrase of tho scriptural story was received with poorly suppressed laughter from the benches in front.

Tills grew In volume and intensity as Dr. Abbott pictured Jonah composing and probably inditing a sonnet In the whale's belly. But the most mirth provoking was tho picture of the relations between Jonah and God after the prophet had found that Nineveh would not be destroyed at the time he indicated. Then the picture of the peppery prophet angry at the Lord because He allowed the gourd under which he rested to fall away so that the sun struck him caused loud laughter to ring through the church. "The whole story Is a parablo or fiction tending to show the kindliness, the pity and the mercy of God," he said.

The doctor found It necessary to rebuke his audience before dts departure. "I'm very sorry." he said, "to have said anything In this pulpit that caused laughter or ridicule for God's word." It will bo observed, in reading this account, that the reverend doctor did not deem it necessary to rebuke his auditors until they had their laugh out. The World's report of Dr. Abbott's alleged sido splitting dissection of Jonah reads like the familiar reports of an Ingersoll lecture. For Instance, the report in question says of the doctor: "His remarks caused great laughter and he was frequently interrupted by loud guffaws." The hilarity of the occasion cannot be appreciated without reading all that the faithful reporter has to say.

His storv read3 as follows: Mirth was ramoant In Plymouth church last night. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, who has been preachlnt sermons on thp literature of the Bible, preached about Jonah and the whale. His remarks caused great laughter and he was frequently Interrupted by loud guffaws.

The doctor talked in all seriousness and when he had concluded he rebuked the people for lauchlng called their attention to the lesson of the fiction, as he called it. He paid it taught the loving kindness and mercy of God. The preacher first referred to Jonah and the whale incidentally. He saldi It was a parable or fiction. He declared that It mode no man worse for disbelieving' it or no man better for believing it.

He said some people referred to the story as the "Pickwick Papers" of the Bible. No man who did not believe the story, the doctor said, should get down on his knees and pray to be made to believe. The creat sin was not in disbelieving ridiculous things, but In coercing oneself to believe Then tha preacher described at great length how Jonah boarded tha ship to flee from God, The new Catholic Home Missionary society, which was recently Incorporated under the laws ot the state of New York, held its first meeting yesterday afternoon in the archi eplscopal residence in New York.

IN THE GLACIAL AGE Appearance of Long Island and the Surrounding Land and Waterways The Hudson's Old Channel. After an illness of two weeks Professor Frauklln W. Hooper, director of the Brooklyn institute, last night resumed his Sunday evening lectures at tho Maxwell house. 245 Concord street. The aim of these lectures is to acquaint the young men and women of the vicinity with the natural features and geologic history of their own and other countries.

Last evening Professor Hooper's theme was the formation of Long Island. The subject was introduced by a series of pictures of th ice age ln North America, including tho Yosemlte valley, once the abode of a vast glacial stream; the rounded and scored surface of tho Rocky mountains, the clay beda of Illinois, the striatiotiH and smooth rocks of the Adirondacks end the glacial boulders scattered all over New England and New York. Nearer home evidence of glacial action: may be found in the plateau like hurfaces of the Palisades, the outcropping strata of Central park and the drift hills of Long Island. Every pebble used for a paving stone in Brooklyn has been shaped by a glacier. When viewing the bowlders in a railroad cutting or an excavation for a new building, we are likely to find some that have come from this Palisades, others that are sojourners from New Jersey, and some that traveled from points still farther distant.

It is not probable that Long Island existed forany length of time prior to the glacial epoch. At tin beginning of that period there was a rise in the land surface of Eastern North America, involving many changes in the contour of the Atlantic coast. The Hudson flowed to the sea at a point seventy miles out from its present mouth; the Cedney channel being its old river bed. The glacial ice along the southern New England coast pushed forward and upward tint clay beds at its terminus till they rose into low hills and bluffs on tho north shore of what is now Long Island. On top of these were piled masses of glacial drift from the terminal moraine.

Glacial streams flowing southerly to the ocean left deposits of silt and sand, thus gradually forming the south shore. As the glacier receded it left Long Island sound, a fresh water lake, and it would have been possible at this time, had railroads been known, to have gone by train from Brooklyn to Boston without change of cars. The Eaet river received the entire drainage both of Long Island lake and the Hudson: river valley. At Hell Gate there was a tremendous difference in altitude and a cataract as great as that of Niagara poured over precipice and deafened tho ears of the greator New Yorkers. By and by, there was another depression of the land nut face; the seventy mile Hudson valley beyond Sandy Hook was submerged, Long Island lake became a sound and things assumed something like their pre' ont shape.

ETHICS OF THE HEBREWS. Rabbi Joseph Silverman and the Rev John W. Chadwick Discuss This Topic. The lecture of yesterday evening before the Ethical association was delivered at tho Pouch mansion by the Rev. Joseph Silverman of the Temple Emanu El, New York city, before a large and interested audience.

Referring to an advertisement for a "New Religion," which lately appeared, he stated that how religions and new ethical ideals had demanded through ail the centuries, but that the ages ago, had announced tho 0:10 satisfactory body of ethical truth, sufficient for all It Is without mlraclo or super na turalisin; appeals directly to tho present, and the duties of the life here, and li.lds out no promisor of roward, or threats of purishment in a future life, for actions done here. Man is endowed at the very outset, with supremacy over nature, and with freedom of ethical choice. He stands or falls by his own merit alone. Justice and mercy are tho two pillars of Hebrew morality. Justice without mercy Is hopeless for the offender.

Mercy without justice would be tho downfall of the state. Hebrew ethics, are wholly unset tar Association with an ecclesiastical order, or definite creed debases tho pure ethical sentiment. I.sreal teaches the common brotherhood of man. Its revelations wore from the beginning, not to a trlbo, but to humanity at large. "Have wo not all cue Father? has aot one God created us all? Why shall we deal treacherously, one man against the other? All the later Jewish writings emphasize these views.

Tho Jewish doctrine of salvation by conduct is for the whole world. ethics are not formalism, or legaiism. they are inspired throughout by the belief that perfect love leads perfect obedience. Whereas, with the Greeks anil Romans the principles of morality v. re purely philosophical and barren.

He brew othi. are vivified with the spirit of love ami worship These. is said In Deuteronomy, are the laws which ye shall keep, in onlor to live through them. Personal purity, the sweetness of the domeptic relations, are all important fa' rs in Je wi.sh morals. Kes pec: to parents, sacredness of life, of marriage and of property, and regard for truth all those were promi'ient features ln the He brow morality.

The aloguo Is universal in Its principles and applicable for all time." Mr. Chadwick said that he should havs been pleased to have had the topic discussed upon a broader basis of charity to other beliefs. He thought the emphasis had been placed too strongly on the superiority of the Hebrew to all other ethics, whereas, in fact, moral sentiments, of an equally advanced order, could be found in all forms of faith. He Mieved that excessive ritualism had, with the Hebrews, frequently obscured tho weightier matter of conduct. Such was its inevitable tendency.

Rewards and punishments Ln a future life were not held out by Judaism simply because they had no belief In a future life. The study of comparative religion was the most certain means of arriving at a Just estimate of the truth in all. TRIBUTE FROM ASSOCIATES.
