America.Afraid Russia Calls for the Concerted Action of All Countries\u2014A Parsees\u2019 Burial.Luffalo, N.¥., Jan.22\u2014Dr.Joseph C.Creene, one of Buffalo\u2019s most distinguished physicians, and ex-presdient of the lsrie County Medical Society, who recently made a tour of the world and incidentally |, inspected India very closely, is afraid the \u201cLubonic fever\u201d new devastating that benighted country may spread to this country.\u201cT would not be surprised to see it appear in this country, just as cholera and the grip spread around the world.There are so many deaths from the fever in Bombay that the vultures are not able to dispose of the bodies, and a pestilence is feared on that account.\u201d \u201cWhat have vultures got to do with the disposal of dead bodies?\u201d asked the reporter.\u201cWhy, the Parsces, you know, give their dead 1o the vultures.The Parsees are the sleekest of the natives; they ave the bankers and merchants of Bombay, and they believe in the sacredness of the earth, fire and water, so they do not throw their dead into the water, neither do they cremate or bury the dead.They erect tall towers, place the dead at the top, and the vultures and crows do the rest.1 wit- nested a Parsee burial in Bombay.The tower was about 30 feet in height.When the corpse was being carried to the tower I could see the vultures gathering from near and far.They appeared to know that a horrid feast was being prepared for them.The.body was taken to the top of the tower, and was nude, except for a sort of shroud-like garment placed over it very loosely.When the body was placed in the position designed for it the vultures were onjy a few feet away, perched on the edge of the tower.When the bearers departed the great birds began their dreadful work and within fifteen minutes the bones were comparatively clear.Then waiting érows finished the scavenger work, the bones were dropped into a pit beneath the tower, and the horrible affair was over.\u201d Calcutta, Jan.22.\u2014The Government has ordered the stoppage in February of all pilgrim traffic from Bombay and Karach: on account of the plague.There are now over 1,750,000 persons on the relief works and about 170,000 are receiving gratuitous relief.\u201d The principal increase in the number of persons relieved is in Bengal and on the North-West, New York, Jan.22.\u2014A despatch to the Herald from St.Petersburg says two cases of the bubonic plague, which is raging in Dombay, are reported from Kamaran.Kamaran is an island off the West Coast of Arabia in the Red Sea.It is a British possession, and one of the leading stations near the city of Mecca.A severe quarantine has been established by the Russian authorities.New York, Jan.22\u2014The Herald publishes the following despatch from St.Petersburg :\u20147The fear of the Indian plague reaching here grows rapidly.The Novoe Vremya says :\u2014 \u201cWith England\u2019s present methods in permitting the population of the stricken districts to emigrate the plague will very scon be rife all over the country.\u201d The Mivovie Otgloski says :\u2014\u201cItaly, Trance and Austria have taken precautions.History has shown that Russia is always the country that suffers most from the pest.\u201cRussian doctors should at once go to the plague-stricken districts and find out the truth and study the disease.as we cannot rely on the reports of the English, whese commercial interests have eaten into the humanitarian instincts of all nations.\u201cThe world should unite to form a cor- dou around the devastated plague dis- riets,\u201d , Here all preparations for maritime and land quarantine are under consideration.Dcetors have been sent to keep a proper guard on the Persian and Afghan frontiers.ANTIDOTE FOR THE PLAGUE.Bombay.Jan.21,\u2014It is announced that Professor Haffkine, who has been conducting a series of experiments in the treatment of the bubonic plague which has been ravaging this city for some time past, has proved the efficacy of attenuated plague virus as am antidote for the disease.Dr.Yersin, a French physician, claims also to have discovered an antidote for the bubonic plague.In the course of an interview with a writer of the Monde 11- lustre Dr.Yersin said :\u2014 This plague 1s really the cleanest of all diseases.The patient has a little fever, feels a slight fatigue, a boil makes its appearance and after a few hours of suffering he dies without any of those repugnant complications peculiar to other epidemic diseases.\u201d The doctor has also studied the bacilli of the plague.\u201cThe pulp of the bubos.\u201d e said, \u201cis in every case filled with a veritable mass of short and stout bacilli, With rounded heads.Sometimes the bacil- } appear as if surrounded by a capsule.hey are found in large quantitiés in the bihos and granglions of the patients.\u201d Dr Yersin concluded that inoculation of & more virulent variety of the specitic bacillus would give immunity against the Plague.and after first experimenting on auinals he was equally sucesssful later With human beings.These experiments bars in the same direction as those made by i Professor Haffkine.OTTAWA WILL ASSIST.Ottawa, Jan.22.\u2014(Special-;\u2014Mayor Bingham yesterday recaived a letter from Mr.Charles Magee, president of the Tank of Ottawa stating that at a 1ineeting cf the directors of the bank to-day $570 had been subscribed towards the indan Relief Fund.Mr.Magzze encivsed a ciieque for the amount also $200 additional from the individual directors

Their Nationality.New York Worid Washingt on Corres pondent Holds Out Hopes That the Trouble is About Over.New York, Jan.22.\u2014At the office of the (uban Junta the names of 12 persons murdered by the Spanish at Guanabacoa during a single week were given out.It it claimed that the persons killed were all honest and without reproach, their only crime being that they were Cubans by birth.They were not connected with the Cuban cause in any way.New York, Jan.22\u2014A World special from Washington says: The Spanish Government proposes to pnblish next Saturday, the 23rd, not only the amensty proclamation releasing all political offenders from Cuban prisons, but also the amended reform law to be applied to Cuba.Two State Department clerks have been busy some days in anticipation of this preparing the correspondence between this Government and that of Madrid for transmission to Congress, probably on Monday next.With the promulgation of these icon- cessions by Spain may possibly come a declaration from Gen.Weyler that the rebellion is at an end.1le has again taken the field that he may assert more emphatically that the insurgent armies have practically been disbanded, and that diligent search reveals no rebels in arms, This action vy Gen.Weyler must precede any proffer of grace, thus placing Spain in the attitude of having subdued the rebellion before instituting reforms and granting pardon.Secretary Olney is said to have great confidence that the proposed reforms will be accepted by the insurgents.Mr.Houghton\u2019s despatch from Madrid, printed in The World to-day, indicating a postponement of the Cuban question until the next Administration, is believed here to refer only to the negotiation of the proposed new commercial treaty and the settlement of American claims arising out of the Cuban insurrection.These matters will go over for disposition by MecKinley, as was stated in these despatches of Jan.16.WAR EAGLE MINE \u2014\u2014e Likelihood of a Legal Fight Over the Property.Was Purchased by Canadians for $800,000, but Londoners Claim to Hold an Option.Toronto, Jan.22.\u2014(Special).\u2014There is every likelihood of a big legal fight for the possession of the War Eagle mine in Ross.land.The mine is supposed to be immensely wealthy and to-day the announcement is made officially that the negotiations between Messrs.G.H.Gooderham.T.G.Blackstock, and Hon.George A.Cox, and the War Eagle Company of Spokane, have been completed, and that the mine has been transferred to the Canadian syndicate for a sum approaching $800,000.Now, however, the London War Eagle Company, of London, England, appears ou the scene and claims to have an unexpired option on the mine.The «London company state that in March, 1896, they were organized with a capital of $2,500,000, and were given an option to purchase the property which has not expired.On Tuesday last the London company cabled Messrs.Kilmer & Irving, barristers, of Toronto, asking for particulars of the deal with the Gooderham, Blackstock syndicate, and on learning what was going on here, at once served notices upon the syndicate, stating that they woulda insist upon their prior claim to purchase the mine.Mr.Iilackstock, when seen, acknowledged that he had received the notice, but thought it was merely a bluff on the part of the London company.\u201cWe have possession of the property,\u201d he said, \u201cand intend to keep it.\u201d MARTIN WILL NOT RUN.Winnipeg, Jan.2\u2014Mr.Joseph Martin left yesterday for Toronto and Mont- veal, ard will be absent in the east a mcnth, Before he left he stated definitely that if Winnipeg were opened he would not again contest the seat.He declared that after considering the matter, fully, he had determined to remain out of politics.McKINLEY'S CABINET.Washington, Jan.22.\u2014Four \u2018cabinet positions seem to be definitely settled: \"viz.Sherman for State; McKenna, Interior; Goff, for Justice; and Wilson for Agriculture.Four remain to be filled, the Treasury, War, Navy and Post-Office Departments.INGERSOLL WILL LECTURE.New York, Jan.22.\u2014Robert C.Inger- soll has given up the

Subject, Chairman Parsons\u2019 Financial Reforms and Peace With All Nations the Great Present Requirements.New York, Jan.22.\u2014More than 200 members of the Board of Trade and Transportation attended the annual banquet of that dignified body at the Waldorf last night.; The dinner had an especial significance for it celebrated the beginning of the revival of trade, so long prostrated.The burden of all the speeches was peace, for the Board of Trade is composed of men who cultivate the arts of peace and abhor the stern alarms of war.Lven the fiery Col.Watterson, who once upon a time was ready to lead 100,000 Democrats on to Washington, confessed that if war should show its grim visage again he hoped he would be found in the thrifty ranks of the commissariat.There were many good things said at the dinner, particularly by Mr.Wat- terson and Chairman Parsons, who developed a fine tact as toastmaster.About arbitration he said: \u201cWhen we assembled a year ago, we, in common with the people of this country, were disturbed by the effect of the President\u2019s Venezuela message, and it looked as though a war between the mother country and ourselves would be inevitable.Public sentiment was aroused and war was averted.When, for one moment we reflect what the result of war with England would be to this country, 1 am sure that each one of us will experience a thrill of horror at the bare contemplation of such a catastrophe.\u201cThe past year has been a disastrous one to the mercantile interests of this country.We.have passed through an 1exciting Presidential election.Thanks to the intelligence and patriotism of the men who 1 see around and about ma, and their constitutents, the honor and integrity of this country have been preserved and we can to-day rejoice and take courage that we have not been forced to repudiate our honest obligations.\u201d The chairman concluded as follows: \u201cWe are to reconcile capital and labor; and to this end we must purify ourselves.We are to teach the lesson that the citizen exists for the Government, and not the Government for the citizen.We may not be able to bring back the intense individuality of the days when Uncle Sam was young, but we can inculcate individual character and personal accountability.\u201d \u201cOurs is to protect the rights of prop- erty\u2014not less sacred in the form of aggregations of capital than in that of private ownership\u2014and, to do this effectively, we must not leave the prosecution and punishment of dishonest and unlawful combinations to the indiscriminate outery of irresponsible agitation, but ourselves lead such movements towards redress and reform as the pub lie interest and credit may require.Just policies, directed by wise men, never yet failed, of their mark.Tt is for this noble city to lead the way; it is for you, gentlemen, who represent so great a part of its wealth and worth, to say the word; and as surely as the night the day, the vest of us will follow after.\u201d At this juncture a bald-heade mem- her jumped upon a chair \u2018and, snatching his napkin from his neck, waved it furi oulv, and cried: \u201cI propose that the Board of Trade signify its approval by a standing vote of the treaty of arbitration between Great Britain and the United States now before the Senate.\u201d very man in the room stood up and | gave three cheers for the sentiment.Then came speeches bv Gen.Buckner, Lieut.-Governor Woodruff,Postmaster Dav- ton and the Rev.Madison C.Peters, all along similar lines.WHEELMEN ARE WRATHY.They Will Force the Railways to Carry Bicycles as Baggage if Possible.Toronto, Jan.22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The C.W.A.has got its knife out for the railway people on account of the baggage charge, and intends to ask for legislation compelling the railroads to carry bicycles as baggage.There was a meeting of the executive in the office of E.B.Ryckman yesterday afternoon and the case was discussed in all its bearings.President R.A.Robinson of Hamilton, Secretary H.B.Donly of Sim- coe and all the members of the Rights and Privileges Committee, Chairman E.B.Ryckman, George A.Kingston and W.N.Irwin were present.The managers of the G.T.R.and C.P.R.were interviewed some time ago and asked {o grant certain concessions, which the railway people refused.At yesterday's meeting it was decided to carry the matter to Parliament for redress.APPOINTMENTS FROM OTTAWA.Ottawa, Jan.22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Dr.A.T.Watt has been appointed Superintendent of Quarantine at Williams\u2019 Head, Vieto- ria, B.C, and Dr.R.L.Fraser, port quarantine officer in place of Dr.G.M.Duncan who held both offices and who was dismissed.A FULL FACE OF ORE.The Big Three Mining Company Seems to be in Luck\u2014Development is Advancing.It now looks as though the Big Three \u2018Company would soon have a shipping mine | in the Snow-shoe and Southern Belle.Ke- fernce has already been made in the Miner | to the favorable showing in the tunnel now being run in these claims, close to the dividing line between them.The tunnel was started on the Southern Belle and may now be In the Snow-shoe ground, Doth i claims being the property of the Dig | Three Company.The first ore found was in the form of {a streak running diagonally across we face of the tunnel.The assavs on this ore showed copper, goid and silver to the value of about §15 a ton.the chief value being in copper, which made it a desirable ore for smclting purposes.The ore body ! bas now greatly increased in size.it! pretty well filis the face of the tunnel, though it is somowlbat broken up.The values, however, are improving.Ï Two assays of the ore were made yesterday.One of these showed $2 in gold, 16 ounces in silver and 12 per cent.in copper, equal to about $23.The other showed $1.60 in gold, 8 ounces in silver and 13 per cent.copper.equal to about $29.This shows a marked improvement over the assays first made, and as the ore body is areater in-extent the condition of tlie mine is highly favorable.The face of the tunnel is now at a depth of 123 feet and Is gaining depth at the rate of foot per foot, the mountain being pretty steep here.The tunnel is got ting into the east side of Red Mountain rapidly, and it ought to be beyond the point of disturbance very soon.The finding of good ore in the neighborhood 1s of the highest importance, as it tends to prove that the upper section of Red Mountain is all right \u2014Rossland Min- HELD UP THE TRA Sensational Train Robbery Near Birmingham, Ala, Last Night.Messenger Forced to Hand Over His Keys at the Point of a Revolver.Birmingham, Ala, Jan.22.\u2014For the gecond time in a month unknown masked men last night held up a train of the Southern Railway near Berry station, nearly seventy miles west of Birmingham, and robbed the Southern express car.The scenes of the robberies were within a mile of each other and they were almost identically alike in every detail.As the train pulled out from Berry, which is a small place in the wildest section of Alabama, a masked man climbed into the engine cab and presenting pistols at the engineer and fireman ordered them to obey his commands at the peril ot their lives.At the same time two other masked robbers boarded the forward platform of the express car.When the train reached a secluded spot near North River, three miles from Barry, it was halted.Express Messenger Ward was commanded to open the door.He did not obey.The robbers then began cursing and firing their pistols to intimidate the trainmen and passengers, none of whom dared to interfere.Under the direction of the outlaws the express car doors were broken open by the engineer and firemen, and pistols thrust into Messenger Ward\u2019s face.His safe keys were secured, and the local safe quickly opened and rifled of its contents, which the express officials say amounted: 49 8150.The robbers then backed out of the car, and disappeared in the darkness.The entire time of the robbery was twelve minutes.A posse left here on a special train for the scene of the robberv.There is no doubt in the minds of the express and railroad officials that both this robbery and that of a month ago were committed by the same parties, and that the robbers reside in the mountains near the scene, which is the old stamping-ground of the once famous Burrows gang of train-robbers, UR.GUERIN ENDORSED, Again Offered the Nomination for St.Ann's, Liberals Pledge Their Support\u2014The Present Member Accepts the Honor.supplement published evry afternoon.Its À very

P.Kenney, M! McGoldrick, W.McDonnell, W.D.Burns, E.Power, A.J.O'Neill and L.MeMullin.Dr.Guerin was called upon to speak of the work done by the Local Government, After thanking the electors for hav- ig invited him he explained how the Government when in a moribund state.did uot hesitate to convert the debt of the Province\u2014an amount of 32 ndilions\u2014 without even vouchsafing any explanation to Parliament as to how they intended to operate this gigantic scheme.The railway subsidies were also explained; how the Government Was making a clean gift of 14 millions to railwey companies, and getting nothing in return except the good will of those railways and of course on the eve of a general election this counted for much to a party which on account of extravagance aud mismanagement had forfeited the confidence of the people.Dr.Guerin also explained other legislation carried on during the late session.The assembly then unanimously tendered the Liberal nomination to Doctor Gue- rin for the coming struggle in St.Ann's Division.Dr.Guerin thanked the electors for their confidence in him and promised to act in the future as he had done in the past\u2014in the best interest of the city, and St.Ann\u2019g Division in particular.WOMEN WANTING HUSBANDS.San Francisco, Jan.22.\u2014A story published recently in a local paper to the effect that the Island of St.John, in the South Sea.was inhabited solely by women who were pining for husbands,has borne fruit in the incorporation of the United Brotherhood of the South Sea Islands.The capital stock is placed at £20,000 and already over thirty men have subscribed.A NOVEL LAW SUIT.Milwaukee, Jan.22.\u2014Father Helistern, a deposcd priest of St.Mary's Catholic Church.at Barton.Wis., has filed suit for $30.000 for alleged slander against Archbishop Katzer, of the diocese of Mil: waukee.cedent and if a compromise is effected The proceeding is without .g-e- ! i ITS SESSION CLOSED Anglican Synod is Through Its Business.MANY MATTERS DISCUSSED.Education and Temperance Each Receive Attention.Many Reports are Received From the Different Branches of the Church Work.At yesteraay afternoon's session of the Anglican Synod, the question of making a thorough knowledge of French compulsory for the clergy was discussed at length.A great many members of Synod gave thair views on the question.The common opinion was that though it was neccessary to have some of the clergy able to speak , French, yct it was not essential to make proficiency in this language compulsory for all.Canon Anderson presented a report on the better observance of the Lord's Day.It hailed the formation of a Lord's Day Alliance in Montreal as a forerunner of better things, and pointed out other signs that the old system of things was about to pass away.On motion of Mr.}¥.L.Bond, seconded by Mr.Richard White, a committee was appointed to draw up an address of congratulation to Her Majesty on the occasion of her Diamond jubilee.The motion named Dean Carmichael, the mover and seconder as the committee.A resolution was then passed urging the members of Synod to \u2018give all possible support to prohibition in the approaching ple biscite.In the event of its resulting favorably;

the creed is a statement of what certain men think about religion.Worship Is not religion; worship is à method of expressing religion.\u2018fhe Church is not religion; the Church is an organization of men and women, formed for the purpose of promoting religion.tten- gion precedes creeds, worship, Church; that is, the life precedes men's thoughts about the life, men's expression of the lite, men\u2019s organizations formed to promote the life.Religion may be personal or social; that is, it way be the consciousness of (Goa in the Individual soul, or it may \u2018be the concurrent consciousness of God In a great number of individuals, producing a social or communal life.In either case it Is lite, not an opinion about life.It Is not a definition of God, it is a fellowship witu Him; not a definition of sin; not a definition of forgiveness, but relief from rcmorse; not a definition of redemption, but a new and ât- vine life.Theology is the sclence of religion.It is the result of an attempt made by men to state in an orderly and systematic manner the facts respecting the life of God in the soul of man.It involves intellectual defi nition of the various forms of conscioua- ness which constitute the religious lite.Its relation to religion is the relation of other sciences to the vital phenomena which they endeavor to explain.growth of the human intellect there comes a wiser study of life, a better understanding of it, a new definition of its terms, and a new classification of its phenomeua.The life does not change, but man's auder- standing of It changes.There is a now astronomny, though the stars are old; a new botany, though vegetable life ts unchanged; à new chemistry, though tbe constituent elements of the universe are the saute.So there is a new theology, though not a new religion.God, sin, repentance, forgiveness, love, remain essentially unchanged, \u2018but the definitions of God, sin, repentance, forgiveness and love are changed froin generation to generation.There is as little danger of undermining religion by new detinitions of theology as there is of blotting out the stars from the heavens by new astronomy.But, as religion is the life of God in the soul of man, dcfinitions which give to man a clearer and more intelligibie trderstaud- ing of that life, will promote it, aad detini- tions which are, or seem to be, irrationai; will tend to impede or impair it.To this extent theology affects the religious life as other sciences do not affect the life with which they have to deal.Evolution ig described by Jom Fiske as \u201cGod's way of doing things.\u201d Theology is also an attempt to describe God's way ok doing things.Thus to a certain extent science and theology have the sume ultimate end.Both attempt to furnish an orderly, rational and self-consistent account of phenomena.The supposed inconsistency between science and religion is really au inconsistency between science and theoivgy\u2014 that is, between two sciences.The theo- logiun and the scientist have given -iifier- ent, and, to some extent, inconsistent accounts of God's way of doing things, 1t is Amportant for us to know which account fs correct.It is even religlously desirable that we should know, since our understand: Ing of God's influence upon the human soul affects that influence, The current thcology is Roman in its ort- gin.It assumes as an axiom a God apart from the universe and ruling over it, as the Roman Emperor was apart from the Rome tr Empire and ruled over it.It conceives of His government as a series of successive Interventions.He creates the world out of nothing in the space of six days, aud then rests.hecome immortal and so independent of sin, God Intervenes and drives him trom the garden.His sin grows greater; Goa Intervenes, sweeps the human race from the globe, and makes a new beg uning.Man has no natural capacity to know God.God compassionately intervenes once more, and makes man special revelations, outside the race to which these revelations are made there is no possibility of the knowledge of God\u2014that is, no possibility of true religion.To attest this revelation, which God has made of Himself, iuterven- tions in the laws of nature which lle has ordained are necessary.These iuterven- tious; called miracles.are essential 10 revelation, and revelation is essential to Lue Knowledge of God\u2014that is, to true religion.Thus, theology assumes that God's way or doing things ih the material world .s the way of a mechanic operating upon a machine:His way of doing things in the spiritual world is the way of a King ruling over au empire.God is someone outside of nature and outside of ian, ojciating upen uature and upon man, The evolutionist's conception of God's way of doing things is radica.ly different.\u2018Evolution,\u2019 says Le Conte, \u201cis (1) continuous, progressive change, (2) according fo certain laws, (3) and by means of resident forces.\u201d Evolution, therefore, the reacer wil perceive, disbelieves In interventions, while theology believes in a series of interventions.as the necessary condition of life.It should be distinctly understood that evolution makes no attempt to explain the cause of thät continuous.progressive change which constitutes the essential Manifestr tion of what we call ife.Svolution is simply a history of the process by and through which that cause, whatever it is, produces results, It is the history of the way in which the world has come to be what it is.Thus evolution differs from theology in two respects.Theology attempts to account for the cause of life.That cause, according to theology, is the personal will of a personal Creator.Evolution makes no attempt to account lor the cause.It may be either theistic or agnostic; that is, it may assume that God is the one infinite and: eternal energy which pre.duces all phenoniena, or it may assume that we know nothit:z respecting hat cnergy.except that it exists.Again, theo- With the | Man sins, and, lest he should | logy believes that there are two clements, distinguishable from one another.1a the provess of life\u2014the natural aud the super.uatural, or the progress of nature and ihe luterventions in that process by special | acts of the Creator.Evolution Involves the belief that there is but one pro ess, which Is continuous, progressive, orderly, accord.Ing to invariable laws, and due to reslden: force or forces.All forms of sclence and of philosopay, except theology, accept evoiution as above uefilued.\u201cThe words evolutionism and evolutionist,\u201d says Le Conte, \u201ccannot any longer be used, any more than gravitatiun- ism and gravitationist, for tbe law of Pvo- lution Is as certaln as the law of gravitn- tion.\u201d Evolution is not only accepted In the natural sciences, it is the basis où ah gcademic teaching in all departments of knowledge.Not only biology, zcology, phy- tlology, astronumy, and tue vaturai sc'en- ces are taught as accounts of processes of development from a lower to a higher, from a simpler to a more complex «tder; but sociology, polltical ecogomy, history, literature and philosophy are all taught in the same way.It Is theology alone which still holds to the theory of special interven tions; to the notion that there are gaps in the process of life to be filled up with God.\u201cAs if,\u201d says Professor Drummond, \"Gad lived in gaps\u2019; or, again: \u2018If God is only to be left to the gaps in our kKuowledge, where shall we be when these gups are filled up\" I acknowledge myself to be a radical evo- lutionist\u2014it is hardly necessary to say a theistic evolutionist.1 reverentiy and heartily accept the axiom of theology that a personal God is the foundation of all life; but 1 heartily and confidently believe that God has but one way of doing things; that His way may be described in one word as the way of growth, or dcvelop- ment, or evolution, terms which are substantially synonymous; that He resides In the world of nature and in the world of men; that there are no laws of nature which are not the laws of God's own being; that there are no forces of nature except the one Divine, Infinite Force, the will of God; that there are no occasional or exceptional theophanies, but that all nature and ali life is one great theophuay; that there are not occasional interventions in the order of life which bear witness to the presence of God, but that life is Itselt a perpetual witness to His presence; that IIe transcends all phenomena, and- yet is the creatlve, controlling, directing force in all phenomena.In so far as the theologian and the evolutionist differ in their inter pretation of the history of life\u2014that is, upon the question whether God's way of doing things Is a way of successive later ventions or a continuous and unbroken pro- gress\u20141 agree with the evolutionist, uot with the theologian.My object in this series of articles is to show that religion \u2014that is, the life of God in the soul of man\u2014is better comprehended, and will bet ter be promoted by the phllosophy wkich regards all life as Divine, and God's way of doing things as the way of a continuous, progressive change, laws and by means of one resident force, -than by the philosophy which supposes that some things are done by natural forces and according to natural laws, and others by special interventions of a Divine Wil, acting from without, for the purpuse ot correcting errors or filling gaps.LECTURE ON EDUCATION.Mr.J.O.Lamert\u2019s Plea for National Schools Before the Club Letellier Last Night, An important meeting of the Club Letcl- lier took place last night at 1476 St.Cath- crine street.There was a large gathering to hear a lecture on education by Mr.J.O.Lamert.About thirty new names were added to the list of members of the club, after which the chairman introduced to the audience the speaker, who was received with cheers.\u201cMy \u2018delenda est Carthago,\u2019\u2019\u201d said the speaker, \u201cis education, a subject of great importance, especially at the present tire.\u201d He quoted the words of Leibnitz: \u201cIf%ve could reform education we would reform mankind.\u201d So would it be with the Province of Quebec, still at the tail of Confederation.According to Jules Simon, education necessary at all times, is still more necesary in our age: First, because men are all equal before the law; second, because of the progress of industry, which more and more ceases to employ men's pbysical strength and utilizes their intellectual power; third, because of the right of voting given to every citizen.As far as it concerns education we are not very niuch more advanced than under the old regime in France.According to some edicts under Henry IV.and Louis XIV.the poor ignorant schoolmaster was to be under the absolute control of the country priest, still more ignorant.Have we not the same thing to-day, and with what results?The speaker spoke at length on the condition of the working classes at that time.Seventy-five millions of inhabitants of continental Europe have actually free and obligatory schools.The last words of George Washington were: \u201cInstruct the people.\u201d America remembered them, and this explains the daily increasing influence ori modern civilization.The orator produced many statistics and shcwed all the good that would result from a system of public schools, superior, free and obligatory.As it was said in 1789, in the declaration of man\u2019s rights, \u201cInstruction is the need of all, and society must i favor it with all its power and place it at + the reach of every citizen.X M.Lamert i expressed the desire that before long not only in Manitoba shall we have national schools, but on all the shores of the St.Lawrence and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and then, and then only, will we be a prosperous and properly developed t nation, not remaining behind the age,which i 1s one of light, progress and liberty.The discourse lasted two hours and was greatly appreciated.! i i | ! 8 THEY FIRED THE BARN.Jack Busby Explains the Cause of Mysterious Fires at Guelph \u2014 Guilty Parties Arrested.| Guelph, Jan.22.\u2014(Special).\u2014The origin ;oË several mysterious fires that have oc- l curred here recently has been cleared up t by the arrest and confession of a young j man named Jack Busby, who has admitted that the tire that last night destroyed ihe stable of Mr.Robert Hadden was started by one James Quinn.Before the Police : Magistrate, Busby testified that Quinn \u2018was responsible for starting two recent Tres.Busby and Quinn went together to lladden\u2019s barn, and while the former ;

of the self-styled labor leaders into buying up the labor vote for the coming elections, or contributing to wards benevolent funds, fake labor bu rcaus, soup kitchen, advertising schemes, etc, for which, I understand, the public is being, if it has not actually been workeil, by some person or persons all, by the way, for the unemployed and distressed.As these donations varely, if ever, reach the people they are intended fov, it was deemed advisable that the Central Trades and Labor Council, which is composed of delegates from the various local labor organizations, and is the only organization that can speak for organized labor in this city, showld place itself on record as repudiating all knowledge or connection with any such schemes, that may be used by unscrupulous persons, to extort money, under the pretence that it is to benefit labor organizations.When the Central Trades and Labor Council, the only representative labor organization, is in need of funds to aid the unemployed or distressed, or to fight the battle for right and justice, as it did in the case of the abolition of the water tax and the bringing of the case of the Widow Flynn to the Privyv Couneil in order to secure justice, it will, as it has in the past, furnish its representatives with properly sealed and signed credentials, in order to cetablish their reliability, and will further aftord every facility to any and ail concerned to learn for themselves that the aid solicited is turned over to the proper persons.It is, therefore, to be hoped that this ote of warning to a generous bublic wiil À vent in future any more complaints about being made dupes of by any of the self-styled labor leaders.P.J.RYAN, President Central Trades and Labor Council, Montreal, January 20, 1897.JUDGMENT IN
