Dr. Abbott commended [©rton for his veto of the single- Charities bill, saying it' was the an honest, fearless man. poor, the sick, and the criminals county." said Dr. Abbott, in con- jlating his large congregation on Meat of the bill, "are under the 1 of a Board of Commissioners of ies and Correction, three in num- gainst whose administration, so 1 know, no complaint has been it. There was introduced and in the Legislature a bill giving to a board of three officeholders >int a single-headed Commission jar!ties and Correction., It was a (enabling certain men to get as a rd for past political services the con- rtain offices. These politicians secret of their designs on the rtment of Charities and Correction, told exactly what they were after. |lr position was: We helped to noml- , Gov. Morton, therefore Gov. Morton it to give us charge of the poor, the and the Insane, so that we may see l we can make out ot It." I do not Iterate. That was ,<teeir position, as ed time and agalA in the news- »rs. « Per my part, I think it-~would be bet- to found an asylum for those who t get public offices, rather than to this department to be managed Incompetent men. whose only plan |to see what they can make out of It decayed politicians. |>The final defeat of this iniquitous bill 5>uld not have been accomplished but three men. One of these was James •Keen. Chairman of the Committee ' One Hundred; another was Dr. Brush, a om we all in Plymouth like to call Dr. Brush'; the third was Gov. iorton. who had to resist a great ount of political pressure, and proved himself a strong, as well as an honest van in the course he has taken." Dr. Abbott also congratulated his con- gregation on the refusal of the Excise entrd to grant a liquor license to Ilchael Murphy for his proposed saloon It the chief entrance Jo the new terminal the bridge. He said all who took part the fight against grating the license ved a debt of gratitude to Edward M. Shepard for his argument before the txcise Commissioners. The text of Dr. Abbott's sermon was the 56th verse of the Sixth Chapter of pohn: "He that eateth my flesh and Irinketh my blood abideth in me, and 1 (in him." The theme of the sermon was the >urely symbolic character of the sacra- |Blent of the eucharist. "Whatever we may think of this meta- ! phor of John's." said Dr. Abbott, "it 1» evident that it was a favorite one with Christ, and had deep significance In His mind, for later He embodied it In a farewell supper with His disciples, and so commended it to them that when- ever they met to pray.particularly at the Paschal Supper, or. if you prefer, when- ever they ate together, they broke bread 1 and drank wine. "Certainly we are not to take thi» me- taphor literally. If we are to do this, we might as well say the Bible teaches Idolatry, because it says God Is a rock. Jesus Christ used the phraseology of the Paschal Supper, saying: "This Is the lamb that was sacrificed for you' in /Egypt." . If this before us was the blood and flesh «# Christ we could hardly eat and drink ttv and it certainly would not help us if we were to do so. "What does the language of the text mean? We eat his body and drink his Wood most because It is different from our own, but because His spirit and life were different from ours. "A man might be surrounded by food and yet starved to death. A man must eat food; he must assimilate it if he Is to derive benefit therefrom. Out of what he eats his brain, his nerves, his tissues are nourished. A man Uvea on what he eats. "So it is in education. What is edu- cation? We take the thoughts of the writer and they become our thoughts; merely memorized learning Is no learn- ing. It is simply the development of the memory. When you have digested, assunilat- d the thoughts of a writer, then and only then has he exercised an edu- cational Influence on you. There are men who are so saturated with Browning that they can hardly talk anything except Browning. "There are preachers who are dupli- cates In a small way of the late Henry Wird Beecher and Phillips Brooks. I do not mean these duplicates arc imitators. I do not mean that a man who has a limp Bible is a duplicate of Mr. Moody, or that s man who talks at the rate of fifty mUU« an hour Is like Phillips Brooks. No; I mean the men who have imbibed the spirit and teachings of Mr. Beecher andi Mr. Moody and Mr. Brooks. The idea It lyratted In our common vernacular. We say a man devours a book. lie ab- sorbs a lecture. And so in the higher life. Why should not a man study home, and then go up to college once twice a year for his examinations cause if a man*did not live at the col lege, among the students and professors of the college, he would not get anything foy the assimilative process. A man breathes in at the universities a great deal more than he takes In deliberately. "This Is true in the spiritual realm. We grow spiritually as we take the spiritual nature of another into our system. It is because men do not do this that men are skeptical, loubtful. irreltgious. Not long ago I received a pathetic letter from a man who had devoted his life entirely to business. He said he had been so absorbed in business that he had not had time to study the Bible or cultivate the religious side of his nature. He asked me to give him a book that would teach him Immortality. I couldn't do it! The nature in that man that be- lieves in immortality, has been starved to death. He's got to begin all over again. He must start afresh. "To have faith in Christ is to take Christ into ourselvea It's no use, ab- solutely no use, if you do not attempt to follow His example, if you do not attempt to take in His preaching. It is not the mere fact of Christ's cruci- fixion that saves us. It is not what he does for us out there. It's what he does In us. It's what He is to us in the personal relation. Some men think it enough that they come into church and say, 'Yes, I know Christ died for the world. I believe in His teachings. Now Vm a Christian.' Not at all! You must feed on Christ. "I don't know whether to me it is most thankful or regretful that we are not logical. The measure of our Christian experience Is not what we think about Christ, but how much* we take Him into us. Many a man comes Into church and says, 'I agree to all that Christ said,' but goes out of church and leads a selfish life. Another man comis into church and says, T don't believe in miracles, but I know a colony of poor people on the east side of New York who need to be looked after.' So he goes out of church and over to the east side and teaches and looks after these poor people. Now, this iman had been eating of Christ and didn't know it. "Sir, that's what it is to be a Chris- tian. It is to feed on Christ, to digest Him, to take Him into your heart. It is to be made as one with Him. First of all, it is to get acquainted with Him. "It is astonishing how few men are acquainted with Christ. There are more people in this congregation to-day who have read the life of Abraham Lincoln than have read the life of Jesus Christ. Oh, you've read fragments of His life, I know; verses here and there; but you have not read from (first to last the story of His life. And then you wonder that you don't love Him. How can you? You don't know him. "Read Mark, which is the briefest and most pictorial life of Christ. Read Mark in one sitting, if possible. Then take a brief life of Christ, written by one of our modern Christian scholars. Read the life through in one sitting, if possib'e. Then read Matthew, Luke and John, and compare the four gospels, one with the other. Then take up the 'teachings of the Apostles. Then read the gospels with relation to yourself. When Christ says, 'Beware of the Pharisees'—well, consider if there is any leaven of the Pharisee In you. Take the words of Christ, and* see what meaning they have bearing upon you. Then put the words of Christ in practice; practice makes per- fect. A man is not a piano player merely because he reads music by note. "This is what it means to feed on Christ. You can't do it merely by tak- ing up bread and wine. These are but the symbols. You can do It by assimilat- ing the spirit of Christ, by imitating His example by Incorporating His nature in your own. Christ is a garment. Put Him on. Don't hang the robe up in a church, and come once a week and put it on. "Christ is a robe. You are to walk In i t Don't merely take the robe out and look at it. You can't get across the Brooklyn Bridge, merely by star, ling and looking at the Bridge. Christ is the soil. The root is in Him. "Feed on Christ. Assimilate Christ. Live in Christ. That is what this com- munion service means—He in us, and we in Him." *HA FOR THE NEGRO. Piiblio Meeting In Aid of Atlanta University. GEN.

DexwUr. 4-JB-C-l A public meeting', attended by many women and exceedingly few men, was held yesterday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church, on Henry street, near Clark street, in the Interest of At- lanta University, of Atlanta, Ga., and its work among the Southern negroes. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, the pastor of th3 church, presided. In his introductory remarks, T>r. Hall Bald, t h a t in the three decades which have now passed since the death of Lin- coln, great progress has been made In our love for a race which had long been treated with utter injustice. To bring about this change, no institution has been a more powerful agent than Atlanta Uni- versity, which dares to believe, and has staked its very existence on this belief, that men of the colored race, with proper cultivation, can become broadly cultured members of society. Dr. Horace Bumsteadi, the president of the university, then spoke at length upon the work of his institution. He said Atlanta University was not duplicating any work now being done for the black man. because no other institution in the country devoted itself entirely and ex- clusively to the higher education of the colored race. Atlanta University has a regular college course of four years, in which the students were prepared for teachers. • Dr. Bumstead said, that he knew, this higher work amongst the negroes was not at aK popular, because there are still very many people who labor under the mistaken notion, that there can be no such a pfrson as a thoroughly edu- cated negrot. This idea Is as erroneous as the popular apprehension of the word "higher education." By that, we do not exclude industrial traHiing, In fact, we include it in our course of training, so as to make our students competent teachers of their fellow men in every walk of life. This is no luxury which we are offer- ing to the b'.ack man, but it is a very practical thing, and urgently needed. The education of the negro masses of the South is peramount with the peace, happiness and advancement of our country. "White people, however, are not willing t> teach the negro themselves, and so we must find teachers in the racej Itself, who will gain Influence in indus^l trial matters amongst them, develop the home and social lite of their brethren,in- crease their political influence, and bring about a moral and religious advance- ment. The solution of the great negro problem is to bring the highest culture into contact with the lowest condition and lowest needs. Butler R. Wilson, a member of the Massachusetts Bar, and a graiuat? of Atlanta University, was the next speak- er. He said that the negro problem was at present of far greater importance than any other question. One thousand negro babies are born each day, and al- ready the negro population of this coun- try is equal to that of all the New Eng- land States, with the exception of little Rhode Island. Deportation of the race to Africa or some other i continent is clearly impossible, for the combined mer- chant, marines and navies of the world were Inadequate to accomplish it. The claim of some Southerners that a white population of thirte3n millions must for its own protection keep the colored population of only seven millions in Ig- norance is absurd on Its face, and the 200 lynchings of each of the ten Ja3*_ years are only so many instances of crimes added to a record already In- famous. Crime will never cure crime, because it removes none of the causes of crime; on tip contrary, it engenders pas- sion and thoughts of revenge.. What right has society to expect the colored man to be a gentleman when It closes its doors upon him? Not that it was absolutely necessary, that the ne- gro should be received in the family cir- cle of the white man, but he ought at least be given an opportunity to acquire that education and culture which is nec- essary to make one a gentleman. The negro of the South needs first of all broad-minded political leaders, then preachers, whose pulpit is clean and pure and sweet, and lastly, but most, competent teachers. The latter are the most important, because they come Into daily and hourly contact with their fel- low men. and are thus In a position to shape and mojliJ their ideas and as- pirations. Dr. Bradford, of Montclair, a trustee of Atlanta University, was then intro- duced. He said that he had learned in the house of his father, an old-time Abolitionist, the great lesson, that all men are birn brethren, and <that it Is not the color of their skin which now divides' them, but the nature of their hearts. He knew something of the teaching of Atlanta University, and he j could truthfully say, that in his lectures before the students of that institution, he had met with more courtesy, and was listened to with a more respectful silence, than at any similar Institution in the ^orth or East. "Send back to Africa," Dr. Bradford said, "the descendants of those who gathered around the flag, and shed their blood on many a battlefield, in order to help save this Union! No, send back, whomever you choose, but hot the, negro —he has come to stay, for good or evil!" Gen. Ste-wart L. Woodford was the last speaker. He was introd-uced by Dr. Hall, as "one of the .most loving and generous of men. whose life has been devoted, from every view, to his coun- jjrj^anS his fellow men." Gen. Wood- ford sua. that no matter how broad our ChrisvoMnv. or how deep our human interest, we alw*inhelp most readily others, when our oinNtateresta are served by such help. We frm^. the slaves in order to save ourselves, a*||) we put muskets in their hands, only Iter other means of recruiting failed. W% will never help the negro, until we hav* fec- ognized the absolute necessity of doing so. ""We must rather lift him up, or be dragged down by him. To this alterna- tive the negro has reduced itself at pres- ent. Speaking as a politician, who is not ashamed to say that he is a politi- cian. Gen.. Woodfordi said' that the white vote of the South Is now pretty evenly divided! between the two great parties, and that for this reason the negro wi 1 hereafter be an important factor in the government of the Southern States, be- cause it correctly. We must educate the negro, so as to prevent him from following the demagogues of either party. This can easily be done, for the black man is not bad by nature. During the civil war the Southern white men, going to the front, left their families in the charge of their negro slaves, and not an outrage has been reported. They have not changed In freedom. "If you measure all that this land has taken from the blacks," Gen. Woodford continued, "if you think of the years of unrequited service, of the blood that flciwed from black bacRs under an over- seer's lash, and' if you no\# ! fcbnsider what the negro needs most, you will give as generously as you can." Dr. Bumstead then explained that h's university needed some $7,000 to cover the deficit of this year. A collection was taken up -which netted a goodly sum. GERMAN SCENES. THE SURROGATE COURT.

I., May C—The new Presbyterian Church of this place, erected under the supervision of the widow of the late John G. Payntar.who bequeathed the necessary 375,000 for its construction, was forma'.ly dedicated yesterday. The first service was heid at 10:30 in the morning, at which the dedicatory sermon was preached by the itev. Dr. John D. Wells, of Brooklyn. Dr. 'Wells was followed by the Ttev. Mr. Mailman, the pastor, in a short historical ad- dress. In the afternoon a fellowship meeting was held, in which the pastors of the Dutch Reformed. Episcopal, Meth- odist and German churches of the vil- lage, the Corona Union Evangelical and the First Presbyterian Church of Ja- maica, participated. This meeting was followed in the evening by the principal services of the day. The rest of the local churches closed their doors, and trfSif congregations united with the Presby- terians and filled the c-hurch to the doors, nearly a thousand persons being present. A special musical programme had been prepared, and was rendered by a choir of thirty voices. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn. Dr. 'i'uyler paid a high tribute to the pastor of the church, who was formerly assistant pastor of his church in Brook'.yn. The church dedicated is a richly deco- rated and beautiful stone structure, seating about eight hundred. SUCCESSOR TO OFFICER GUISE. Policeman Alexander Guise, who has been some time on duty at the Mayor's office, retired on Saturday. He is suc- ceeded by John Klffel, a policeman from the Fifth precinct. DUELING AS CARRIED ONt-BY THE STUDESMTS OF HEIDELBERG— QUALUFJCATiIONa OF A POLICE- IMAN—AN AMERICAN DWELLING NEAR AN OLD CABTLE. Prof. Henry E. Northrop of the Poly- technic Institute, took a large number of the members of the Brooklyn Institute on a Journey to Berlin and the cities of the Rhine in an illustrated lecture in the Art Building of the Brooklyn Institute last Saturday evening. As Mr. Northrop was a foreign correspondent and lived in German for an extended period, his ac- quaintance with the fatherland is Inti- mate, and' his remark* well worth hear- ing. The lecturer snowed the public places of interest in the Prussian capital, Intro- duced the audience to the Unter den L'n- den, the Brandenburger Thor, and the Berlin Thiergarten. He exhibited one or two of the vast army garraeks on which the taxes of Germany are expended, showed the Uhlans, or German cavalry, riding down the streets, and explained the system on which the army is organ- ized. The police are a picked class of men from the army rosters. No one is eligible for police duty, according to Mr. Northrop, who has not served in the reg- ular army twelve years, and as a non- commissioned officer at least three years. The look of the street* is quite different from those of America.. Everything is scrupulously clean. *Phe pavements are well-kept, and one majr walk indifferently on the sidewalk or the road. The4pleas- ure places of the ctly ghow' municipal ad- vancement, equally with the business and residential quarters. . The Thiergarten, or zoological garden, is of large area, and instead of having the animals cooped up in some corner of ft, as we would do here, the cages and enclosures are scat- tered all through the park, forming a most delightful and Instructive ramble for the visitor. After a few moments' look at Pots- dam and the suburb* of Berlin, Prof. Northrop passed to the Rhine country, visiting Cologne, Mainz, Coblentz, Frankfort-on-Main, Strasbourg, Stutt- gart and other famous cities, and not forgetting the great university centres, Bonn and Heidelberg, the former the^ resort of nobleman's ions and the great home of studens' dueling clubs. The present emperor received his education at Bonn, and here, too, formed his Inti- mate acquaintance with Poultney Bige- low, the American. JUr. Northrop de- voted a few minutes, to sketching the dueling customs of undergraduates. Al- though dueling is now forbidden by law. It was connived at m Bismarck, him- self a great duelist wfce in college, and is not frowned on ovlfcmuch by William II. Mr. Northrop sa^tf he thought the casualties caused bya student dueling were rather less than! those of football, and certainly a higfc degree of pluck and skill is required. The antagonists face each other witjj their left hands placed behind their packs, their right grasping swords and elevated high above their heads, and their eyes protected by iron spectacles.

The New York City Association of AIDED THE FREE LODGING HOUSE. A fine concert, followed by a big re- ception, was held on Saturday evening in Saengerbund Hall, for the benefit of the Free Lodging House. NEWS IN BRIEF. According to advices received at Washington yesterday, the evacuation of Corinto by the British' fleet was quietly accomplished, and the port restored to Nicaraguan authority. Nicaragua will pay the indemnity demanded in London within two weeks. The London May Day celebration, which was held yesterday, took the form of a series at trades union demonstrations In Hyde Park. John Burns and other labor agitators made speeches. The firm of N. P. Clarke & Co., millers and bankesj. at St. Cloud, Minn., filed an assign- ment oY Saturday, with liabilities of *1,000,000. The value of the assets is problematical. It Is reported that Russia has notified Ger- many that she will declare war In case Japan insists up on the Shimoneoseki treaty. Another dispatch states that Japan has concluded to accede to Russia's demands. The threatened uprising of the Indians In North Dakota is epded. The half breeds sur- rendered yesterday. Chief Red Thunder being the only one who resisted arrest. Four persons lost their lives yti'terday In the river off Detroit, Mich. Two were drowned while boating, and the others while swimming. A wild engine collided with a passenger train on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad near Clarksville, Ark., on Saturday, and In the wreck that followed, thirteen per- sons were injured. Dr. Julius H. Seelye, ex-president of Amherst College, is dying at hl» heme at Amherst, Mass. His condition last night was very critical. A fire which started early yes'terday morning in the three-story iron building at 71 Pulton street, New York, caused a loss of $40,000 toi the building and the stoefci of the Nason Manufac- turing Company. ,1 "t Rosa Whltefaee, a 17-year-old Indian girl, a pupil of the Caddo Indian school at El Reno, Kan., has been sold by her father to her sister's husband for fifteen ponies. He Is 70 years pld, and already has other wives. Three prisoners named Waddle, Hill and Hef- fen. escaped from the jail at Woodward, Okla- *«ma, on Saturday. A posse went In pursuit, and came up with the men yesterday. Hill and Heffw. were killed, and Waddle was recap- tured atvS taken back to Jail. Mrs. Delia Dooley was instantly killed and* tljree other persons were seriously Injured yes- terday as the resulY of a race and collision be- tween an electric car sprinkler and an electric car In Pittsburg yesterday. Mrs. Dooley and the injured persons Jumped from the car. Dr. S. P. Swain shot and killed Dr. Emlie Hirart, of Plaquamhie, La., whon% he found In which those that bearjplt are very proud. Prof. Morthrop-illustrjfced the exculsive- ness of these affairs my saying that his efforts to see one of than proved fruitless for a year and a half, ft the end of which time he was formalist waited upon and driven away in a carriage to the scene of combat. It is a mistake to suppose, he said, that the students! clubs involve hos- tility between the participants. Quite often there is the bjpt of feeling; the champion fighter of q»e dueling club is simply pitted against the champion of a rival organization. Mr. Northrop also showed many of the old castles along the Rhine, stopping to tell the curious mediieval legends that cluster about them. He said the ride down the Rhine was an excellent spin for the bicycler, the hl|ft road being good and the scenery surpassingly beautiful. Of late years it has b#en the custom for wealthy Germans and foreigners to build villas on the Rhine heights near the old castle ruins. One of these modern dwell- ings, standing high on the brow of a bluff, floated from its flagstaff the Ameri- can flag, and Mr. Jflathrop found the owner was a wealthy New Yorker. His party waved the Star* and Stripes from their steamboat, and the salute was an- swered by dipping the ensign from, the castle.

PlainttfTa Attorney, M Na». kau street, tfew York City. i K T-H "The Way Called Heresy," formed "the theme of a homoletic discourse toy the Rev. John W. Chad wick, at the Sec- ond Unitarian Church. Clinton and Con- gress streets, yesterday morning. Mr. Chadwlck said that it was not his prac- tice to take a text from the Scriptures upon which to 'found his discussion, but in the present instance he woud refer his hearers to Acts 24:14, which had ref- erence to the title of his address. The Rev. Heber Newton, he said, has been preaching upon the subject of Christ's resurrection, one of the most in- tensely interesting subjects that the pulpit has ever been called upon to dis- cuss. The speaker, himself, had read thousands of pages of higher criticism upon the subject during the past thirty years of his ministry, but he did not pro- pose to appear as an apologist for Dr. Newton, who was perfectly competent to fight his own battles in defense of his views upon the subject. There were no specious apologies for traditional opin- ions. Newton maintained that the resur- rection of Jesus meant the resurrection of a spiritual Jesus, and not that of a corporal body. Newton also^ Contended that his position was not denied by Paul or the Nieean Creed, and Newton him- self has not departed from the creed. But there can toe no trial for heresy on this score, for the reason that the creed creates a wonderful opinion of unanim- ity, while, at the same time, it does not offer a protestation against the personal liberty of thought. A traveler from some other planet might draw from some of our preachers a perfect physical, statement of Christ's resurrection from the dead, said Mr. Chadwick. but the five documents bear- ing upon the subject—the four Gospels and the Acts—written at different times, are widely divergent in the matter of details. The speaker maintained ;_that no two of them corresponded as to time or circumstances with regard to the resurrection. It was conclusive that no humari being had witnessed the resur- rection, and in the story of the appear- ance of Christ before His disciples, It seemed to be impossible to determine whether it was in a spiritual or cor- poreal form that he presented himself, notwithstanding the incident in connec- tion with "doubting Thomas." After pointing out the discrepencies in the New Testament as to the actual time of Christ's resurrection from the dead, Mr. Chadwick insisted that New- ton's views were not presumptious. One thing was certain, the passage referred to suggested something spiritual and of a visionary character, while Paul, ac- cording to his testimony, was the only witness of Christ's spiritual resurrection. COCHRAN AGAIN. The Major Resigns From the House Committee. A DKPrCTT OF $550 IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THAT . MAT HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED— AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED. Major George G. Cochran of the Thir- teenth Regiment, who would seem to possess the unhappy faculty of constant- ly being involved in trouble, broug'U him- self prominently before the regiment again, on Saturaay night, by tendering" his resignation as chairman of the House Committee of the Regimental Athletic Association. The resignation, which was presented to Col. Watson, reads as fol- lows: The Board of Governors. Thirteenth Reg- iment Athletic Association: Gentlemen,—Feeling that owing to the many calls upon my time it is impossible for me to devote the requisite attentlo- to the duties of the position, I hereby ten- der to you my resignation as chairman of the House Committee." GEORGE G. COCHRAN. The resignation was presented at a special meeting of the Biard of Officers, and was promptlf accepted by the Colonel, and Capt, F. R. Wiswall, of Company A, was chosen to succeed the Major as chairman. Dissatisfaction with his methods of conducting the financial affairs of the as- sociation was the reason for Cochran's re- fusing to serve longer as chairman of the House Committee. The latter committee isj-esponsible, it is said, for a debt of $550, an expenditure that Col. Watspn absolutely refused to have saddled upon the regimental treasury. The trouble originated on March 26, when a reception took place at the arm- ory. For this purpose $100 had been vo- ted for the House Committee, but the committee boosted the expenditures up to $331. of which $154 was spent for en- graved invitation cards. The reception was not the success that It was expected to be. and finally the debts began to mul- tiply for one reason and another, until on Saiurday night Treasurer Klar reported that the receipts amounted to $1,202.02, and the expenditures and outstanding bills to $1,752.39. The House Committee, composed of five enlisted men. Major Cochran and Assis- tant Surgeon Jarrett, had the hiring of all employees, fifteen in all, and it was the intention of the Board of Governors to call the committee to account when the Major's resignation put an en"d to the proceedings. At the next meeting of the Council of Officers an investigation of the affairs of the association will be made. LEGAL, XQTICES. LEGAL, XOTIQES. TAX SALE NOTICE. WITH AFFIDAVIT — Law of 1SSS—To I.

three men. One of these was James • K e e n . Chairman of the Committee ' One Hundred; another was Dr. Brush, a om we all in Plymouth like to call

Dr. Brush ' ; the third was Gov. iorton. who had to resist a grea t

ount of political pressure, and proved himself a strong, as well as an honest van in the course he has taken." Dr. Abbott also congratulated his con­

gregation on the refusal of the Excise entrd to g ran t a liquor license to

Ilchael Murphy for his proposed saloon It the chief entrance Jo the new terminal

the bridge. He said all who took par t the fight against gra t ing the license

ved a debt of grat i tude to Edward M. Shepard for his a rgument before the t x c i s e Commissioners.

The text of Dr. Abbott ' s sermon was the 56th verse of the Sixth Chapter of

p o h n : "He t h a t eate th my flesh and Irinketh my blood abideth in me, and 1

(in him." The theme of the sermon was the

>urely symbolic character of the sacra-|Blent of the eucharist .

"Whatever we may think of this meta-! phor of John 's ." said Dr. Abbott, " i t 1» evident tha t it was a favorite one wi th Christ, and had deep significance In His mind, for later He embodied it In a farewell supper with His disciples, and so commended it to them tha t when­ever they met to pray.part icularly a t the Paschal Supper, or. if you prefer, when­ever they a t e together, they broke bread1

and drank wine. "Certainly we are not to take thi» me­

t aphor literally. If we a re to do this, we might as well say the Bible teaches Idolatry, because it says God Is a rock. Jesus Christ used the phraseology of the Paschal Supper, saying: "This Is the lamb t h a t was sacrificed for y o u ' in /Egypt."

. If th is before us was the blood and flesh «# Christ we could hard ly ea t and drink ttv and it cer tainly would not help us if w e were to do so.

" W h a t does the language of the text m e a n ? We eat his body and drink his Wood most because It is different from our own, but because His spirit and life were different from ours.

"A man might be surrounded by food and yet s t a rved to dea th . A man must ea t food; he must assimilate it if he Is to derive benefit therefrom. Out of what he ea ts his brain, his nerves, his tissues a re nourished. A man Uvea on w h a t he ea t s .

"So it is in education. Wha t is edu­ca t ion? We take the thoughts of the wr i t e r and they become our thoughts ; merely memorized learning Is no learn­ing. I t is simply the development of t h e memory. When you have digested, assuni la t - d the thoughts of a writer, then and only then has h e exercised a n edu­cational Influence on you. There a re men who a r e so sa tu ra ted with Browning t h a t they can hardly ta lk anyth ing except Browning.

"There a re preachers who a r e dupli­ca tes In a small way of the late Henry W i r d Beecher and Phillips Brooks. I do no t mean these duplicates arc imitators. I do not mean tha t a m a n who h a s a limp Bible is a duplicate of Mr. Moody, or t h a t s man who ta lks at the r a t e of fifty mUU« a n hour Is like Phillips Brooks. No; I mean the men who have imbibed t h e spirit and teachings of Mr. Beecher andi Mr. Moody and Mr. Brooks. The idea I t l y r a t t e d In our common vernacular .

We say a man devours a book. l i e ab­sorbs a lecture. And so in the higher life. W h y should not a man study home, and then go up to college once twice a year for his examinations cause if a man*did not live a t the col lege, among the students and professors of the college, he would not get anything foy the assimilative process. A man breathes in a t the universities a great deal more than he takes In deliberately.

"This Is t rue in the spiritual realm. We grow spiritually as we take the spiritual na tu re of another into our system. I t is because men do not do this tha t men are skeptical, loubtful. irreltgious. Not long ago I received a pathetic letter from a man who had devoted his life entirely to business. He said he had been so absorbed in business tha t he had not had time to study the Bible or cult ivate the religious side of his nature . He asked me to give him a book tha t would teach him Immortality. I couldn't do it! The na tu re in tha t man that be­lieves in immortali ty, has been starved to death. He's got to begin all over again. He must s t a r t afresh.

"To have faith in Christ is to take Christ into ourselvea I t ' s no use, ab­solutely no use, if you do not at tempt to follow His example, if you do not a t t empt to take in His preaching. It is not the mere fact of Chris t ' s cruci­fixion t h a t saves us. It is not what he does for us out there. I t ' s what he does In us . I t ' s w h a t He is to us in the personal relation. Some men think it enough tha t they come into church and say, 'Yes, I know Christ died for the world. I believe in His teachings. Now Vm a Christ ian. ' Not a t all! You must feed on Christ.

"I don't know whether to me it is most thankful or regretful tha t we are not logical. The measure of our Christian experience Is not what we think about Christ, but how much* we take Him into us. Many a m a n comes Into church and says, 'I agree to all tha t Chris t said,' but goes out of church and leads a selfish life. Another man comis into church and says, T don' t believe in miracles, but I know a colony of poor people on the east side of New York who need to be looked after.' So he goes out of church and over to the east side and teaches and looks after these poor people. Now, this iman had been eat ing of Christ and didn ' t know it.

" S i r , t ha t ' s w h a t it is to be a Chris­tian. It is to feed on Christ, to digest Him, to take Him into your heart . I t is to be made as one with Him. Firs t of all, it is to get acquainted wi th Him.

"I t is astonishing how few men are acquainted with Christ. There are more people in this congregation to-day who have read the life of Abraham Lincoln than have read the life of Jesus Christ. Oh, you've read f ragments of His life, I know; verses here and there; but you have not read from (first to last the story of His life. And then you wonder tha t you don't love Him. How can you? You don't know him.

"Read Mark, which is the briefest and most pictorial life of Christ. Read Mark in one sitting, if possible. Then take a brief life of Christ, wri t ten by one of our modern Christ ian scholars. Read the life through in one sitt ing, if possib'e. Then read Matthew, Luke and John, and compare the four gospels, one with the other. Then take up the ' teachings of the Apostles. Then read the gospels with relation to yourself. When Christ says, 'Beware of the Pharisees'—well, consider if there is any leaven of the Pharisee In you. Take the words of Christ, and* see what meaning they have bearing upon you. Then put the words of Christ in practice; practice makes per­fect. A man is not a piano player merely because he reads music by note.

"This is what it means to feed on Christ. You can' t do it merely by tak­ing up bread and wine. These a re but the symbols. You can do It by assimilat­ing the spirit of Christ, by imitat ing His example by Incorporating His na ture in your own. Christ is a garment . P u t Him on. Don' t hang the robe up in a church, and come once a week and put it on.

"Christ is a robe. You are to walk In i t Don't merely take the robe out and look a t it. You can ' t get across the Brooklyn Bridge, merely by star, ling and looking a t the Bridge. Christ is the soil. The root is in Him.

"Feed on Christ. Assimilate Christ. Live in Christ. Tha t is wha t this com­munion service means—He in us, and we in Him."

A public meeting', at tended by many women and exceedingly few men, was held yesterday afternoon a t t h e F i r s t Presbyterian Church, on Henry street, near Clark street, in the Interest of At­l an ta University, of Atlanta, Ga., and its work among the Southern negroes. Dr. Charles Cuthber t Hall, the pastor of th3 church, presided.

In his introductory remarks , T>r. Hall Bald, t ha t in the three decades which have now passed since the death of Lin­coln, great progress has been made In our love for a race which had long been treated with u t t e r injustice. To bring about this change, no institution h a s been a more powerful agent than At lan ta Uni­versity, which dares to believe, and has staked i ts very existence on this belief, t ha t men of the colored race, with proper cultivation, can become broadly cultured members of society.

Dr. Horace Bumsteadi, the president of the university, then spoke a t length upon the work of his institution. H e said Atlanta University was not duplicating any work now being done for the black man. because no o ther institution in the country devoted itself entirely and ex­clusively to the higher education of the colored race. At lan ta Universi ty has a regular college course of four years, in which the s tudents were prepared for teachers. •

Dr. Bumstead said, t ha t he knew, this higher work amongst the negroes was not a t aK popular, because there are still very many people who labor under the mistaken notion, t ha t there can be no such a pfrson a s a thoroughly edu­cated negrot. This idea Is a s erroneous as the popular apprehension of the word "higher education." By that , we do not exclude industrial traHiing, In fact, we include it in our course of training, so a s to make our s tudents competent teachers of their fellow men in every walk of life.

This is no luxury which we are offer­ing to the b'.ack man, but it is a very practical thing, and urgently needed. The education of the negro masses of the South is peramount with the peace, happiness and advancement of our country. "White people, however, a re not willing t> teach the negro themselves, and so we must find teachers in the r a c e j Itself, who will gain Influence in indus^l trial mat ters amongst them, develop the home and social lite of their brethren,in­crease their political influence, and bring about a moral and religious advance­ment. The solution of the great negro problem is to bring the highest culture into contact with the lowest condition and lowest needs.

Butler R. Wilson, a member of the Massachusetts Bar, and a g r a i u a t ? of Atlanta University, was the next speak­er. He said t ha t the negro problem was a t present of far greater importance than any other question. One thousand negro babies are born each day, and al­ready the negro population of this coun­try is equal to tha t of all the New Eng­land States, with the exception of little Rhode Island. Deportation of the race to Africa or some other i continent is clearly impossible, for the combined mer­chant, marines and navies of the world were Inadequate to accomplish it.

The claim of some Southerners tha t a white population of thirte3n millions must for its own protection keep the colored population of only seven millions in Ig­norance is absurd on Its face, and the 200 lynchings of each of the ten Ja3*_ years are only so many instances of crimes added to a record already In­famous. Crime will never cure crime, because it removes none of the causes of crime; on t i p contrary, i t engenders pas­sion and thoughts of revenge..

What right has society to expect the colored man to be a gentleman when It closes its doors upon him? Not t ha t it was absolutely necessary, tha t the ne­gro should be received in the family cir­cle of the white man, bu t he ought a t least be given an opportunity to acquire that education and culture which is nec­essary to make one a gentleman.

The negro of the South needs first of all broad-minded political leaders, then preachers, whose pulpit is clean and pure and sweet, and lastly, bu t most, competent teachers. The la t ter are the most important, because they come Into daily and hourly contact with their fel­low men. and are thus In a position to shape and mojliJ their ideas and as ­pirations.

Dr. Bradford, of Montclair, a trustee of Atlanta University, was then intro­duced. He said tha t he had learned in the house of his father, an old-time Abolitionist, the g rea t lesson, tha t all men are b i r n brethren, and <that i t Is not the color of their skin which now divides' them, but the na ture of their hearts . He knew something of the teaching of At lanta University, and he

j could truthfully say, t ha t in his lectures before the students of tha t insti tution, he had met with more courtesy, and was listened to with a more respectful silence, than at any similar Institution in the ^ o r t h or East .

"Send back to Africa," Dr. Bradford said, "the descendants of those who gathered around the flag, and shed their blood on many a battlefield, in order to help save this Union! No, send back, whomever you choose, but hot the, negro —he has come to s tay, for good or evil!"

Gen. Ste-wart L. Woodford was the last speaker. He was introd-uced by Dr . Hall, as "one of the .most loving and generous of men. whose life has been devoted, from every view, to his coun-jjrj^anS his fellow men." Gen. Wood­ford s u a . that no ma t t e r how broad our ChrisvoMnv. or how deep our human interest, we a l w * i n h e l p most readily others, when our oinNtateresta are served by such help. We frm^. the slaves in order to save ourselves, a*||) we put muskets in their hands, only I t e r other means of recruiting failed. W% will never help the negro, unti l we h a v * fec-ognized the absolute necessity of doing so.

""We must ra ther lift him up, or be dragged down by him. To this al terna­tive the negro has reduced itself a t pres­ent. Speaking as a politician, who is not ashamed to say t h a t he is a politi­cian. Gen.. Woodfordi said' t ha t the white vote of the South Is now pret ty evenly divided! between the two grea t parties, and t ha t for this reason the negro wi 1 hereafter be an important factor in the government of the Southern States, be­cause it

correctly. We mus t educate the negro, so as to prevent him from following the demagogues of either par ty . This can easily be done, for the black man is not bad by na ture . During the civil war the Southern white men, going to the front, left their families in the charge of their negro slaves, a n d not a n outrage has been reported. They have not changed In freedom.

"If you measure all t ha t this land has taken from the blacks," Gen. Woodford continued, "if you think of the years of unrequited service, of the blood t ha t flciwed from black bacRs under an over­seer's lash, and' if you no\#!fcbnsider what the negro needs most, you will give as generously as you can."

Dr. Bumstead then explained t h a t h ' s university needed some $7,000 to cover the deficit of this year. A collection was taken up -which netted a goodly sum.

DUELING AS CARRIED ONt-BY T H E

STUDESMTS OF HEIDELBERG—

QUALUFJCATiIONa OF A POLICE-

IMAN—AN AMERICAN DWELLING

NEAR AN OLD CABTLE.

Prof. Henry E. Northrop of the Poly­technic Inst i tute, took a large number of the members of the Brooklyn Inst i tute on a Journey to Berlin and the cities of the Rhine in an illustrated lecture in the Art Building of the Brooklyn Ins t i tu te last Saturday evening. As Mr. Northrop was a foreign correspondent and lived in German for an extended period, his ac ­quaintance with the f a t h e r l a n d is Inti­mate, and' his remark* well worth hear­ing.

The lecturer snowed the public places of interest in the Prussian capital, Intro­duced the audience to the Unter den L'n-den, the Brandenburger Thor, and the Berlin Thiergarten. He exhibited one or two of the vas t a rmy garraeks on which the taxes of Germany are expended, showed the Uhlans, or German cavalry, riding down the streets, and explained the system on which the army is organ­ized. The police are a picked class of men from the army rosters. No one is eligible for police duty, according to Mr. Northrop, who has not served in the reg­ular a rmy twelve years, and as a non­commissioned officer a t least three years. The look of the street* is quite different from those of America.. Everything is scrupulously clean. *Phe pavements are well-kept, and one majr walk indifferently on the sidewalk or the road. The4pleas-ure places of the ctly ghow' municipal ad­vancement, equally with the business and residential quarters . . The Thiergarten, or zoological garden, is of large area, and instead of having the animals cooped up in some corner of ft, as we would do here, the cages and enclosures are scat­tered all through the park, forming a most delightful and Instructive ramble for the visitor.

After a few moments' look a t Pots­dam and the suburb* of Berlin, Prof. Northrop passed to the Rhine country, visiting Cologne, Mainz, Coblentz, Frankfort-on-Main, Strasbourg, Stut t ­gar t and other famous cities, and not forgetting the great university centres, Bonn and Heidelberg, the former the^ resort of nobleman's ions and the great home of studens' dueling clubs. The present emperor received his education at Bonn, and here, too, formed his Inti­mate acquaintance with Poultney Bige-low, the American. JUr. Northrop de­voted a few minutes, to sketching the dueling customs of undergraduates. Al­though dueling is now forbidden by law. It was connived a t m Bismarck, him­self a great duelist wfce in college, and is not frowned on ovlfcmuch by William II. Mr. Northrop sa^tf he thought the casualties caused bya student dueling were ra ther less than! those of football, and certainly a higfc degree of pluck and skill is required. The antagonists face each other wi t j j their left hands placed behind their packs, their right grasping swords and elevated high above their heads, and their eyes protected by iron spectacles.

AIDED T H E F R E E LODGING HOUSE. A fine concert, followed by a big re­

ception, was held on Saturday evening in Saengerbund Hall, for the benefit of the Free Lodging House.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

The firm of N. P. Clarke & Co., millers and bankesj. at St. Cloud, Minn., filed an assign­ment oY Saturday, with liabilities of *1,000,000. The value of the assets is problematical.

It Is reported that Russia has notified Ger­many that she will declare war In case Japan insists up on the Shimoneoseki treaty. Another dispatch states that Japan has concluded to accede to Russia's demands.

The threatened uprising of the Indians In North Dakota is epded. The half breeds sur­rendered yesterday. Chief Red Thunder being the only one who resisted arrest.

Four persons lost their lives yti'terday In the river off Detroit, Mich. Two were drowned while boating, and the others while swimming.

A wild engine collided with a passenger train on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad near Clarksville, Ark., on Saturday, and In the wreck that followed, thirteen per­sons were injured.

Dr. Julius H. Seelye, ex-president of Amherst College, is dying at hl» heme at Amherst, Mass. His condition last night was very critical.

A fire which started early yes'terday morning in the three-story iron building at 71 Pulton street, New York, caused a loss of $40,000 toi the building and the stoefci of the Nason Manufac­turing Company. ,1 "t

Rosa Whltefaee, a 17-year-old Indian girl, a pupil of the Caddo Indian school at El Reno, Kan., has been sold by her father to her sister's husband for fifteen ponies. He Is 70 years pld, and already has other wives.

Dr. S. P. Swain shot and killed Dr. Emlie Hirart, of Plaquamhie, La., whon% he found In

which those that bearjplt are very proud. Prof. Morthrop-illustrjfced the exculsive-ness of these affairs my saying that his efforts to see one of t h a n proved fruitless for a year and a half, f t the end of which time he was formalist waited upon and driven away in a carriage to the scene of combat. It is a mistake to suppose, he said, tha t the s tuden ts ! clubs involve hos­tility between the part icipants. Quite often there is the bjpt of feeling; the champion fighter of q»e dueling club is simply pitted against the champion of a rival organization.

Mr. Northrop also showed many of the old castles along the Rhine, stopping to tell the curious medi ieval legends that cluster about them. He said the ride down the Rhine was an excellent spin for the bicycler, the hl|ft road being good and the scenery surpassingly beautiful. Of late years it has b#en the custom for wealthy Germans and foreigners to build villas on the Rhine heights near the old castle ruins. One of these modern dwell­ings, s tanding high on the brow of a bluff, floated from its flagstaff the Ameri­can flag, and Mr. Jflathrop found the owner was a wealthy New Yorker. His party waved the Star* and Stripes from their steamboat, and the salute was an­swered by dipping the ensign from, the castle.

"The Way Called Heresy," formed "the theme of a homoletic discourse toy the Rev. John W. Chad wick, a t the Sec­ond Uni tar ian Church. Clinton and Con­gress streets, yesterday morning. Mr. Chadwlck said that it was not his prac­tice to take a text from the Scriptures upon which to 'found his discussion, but in the present instance he woud refer his hearers to Acts 24:14, which had ref­erence to the title of his address.

The Rev. Heber Newton, he said, has been preaching upon the subject of Christ 's resurrection, one of the most in­tensely interest ing subjects tha t the pulpit has ever been called upon to dis­cuss. The speaker, himself, had read thousands of pages of higher criticism upon the subject during the past thirty years of his ministry, but he did not pro­pose to appear as an apologist for Dr. Newton, who was perfectly competent to fight his own bat t les in defense of his views upon the subject. There were no specious apologies for traditional opin­ions. Newton maintained that the resur­rection of Jesus meant the resurrection of a spiritual Jesus, and not tha t of a corporal body. Newton also^ Contended that his position was not denied by Paul or the Nieean Creed, and Newton him­self has not departed from the creed. But there can toe no trial for heresy on this score, for the reason that the creed creates a wonderful opinion of unanim­ity, while, a t the same time, it does not offer a protestation against the personal liberty of thought.

A traveler from some other planet might draw from some of our preachers a perfect physical, s tatement of Christ 's resurrection from the dead, said Mr. Chadwick. but the five documents bear­ing upon the subject—the four Gospels and the Acts—written a t different times, are widely divergent in the mat ter of details. The speaker maintained ;_that no two of them corresponded as to time or circumstances with regard to the resurrection. It was conclusive that no humari being had witnessed the resur­rection, and in the story of the appear­ance of Christ before His disciples, It seemed to be impossible to determine whether it was in a spiritual or cor­poreal form tha t he presented himself, notwithstanding the incident in connec­tion with "doubting Thomas."

After pointing out the discrepencies in the New Testament as to the actual time of Christ 's resurrection from the dead, Mr. Chadwick insisted tha t New­ton's views were not presumptious. One thing was certain, the passage referred to suggested something spiritual and of a visionary character, while Paul, ac­cording to his testimony, was the only witness of Christ 's spiritual resurrection.

AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED.

Major George G. Cochran of the Thir­teenth Regiment, who would seem to possess the unhappy faculty of constant­ly being involved in trouble, broug'U him­self prominently before the regiment again, on S a t u r a a y night, by tendering" his resignation as chairman of the House Committee of the Regimental Athletic Association. The resignation, which was presented to Col. Watson, reads as fol­lows:

The Board of Governors. Thirteenth Reg­iment Athletic Association: Gentlemen,—Feeling that owing to the

many calls upon my time it is impossible for me to devote the requisite a t ten t lo- to the duties of the position, I hereby ten­der to you my resignation as chai rman of the House Committee."

GEORGE G. COCHRAN. The resignation was presented a t a

special meeting of the Biard of Officers, and was promptlf accepted by the Colonel, and Capt, F. R. Wiswall, of Company A, was chosen to succeed the Major as chairman.

Dissatisfaction with his methods of conducting the financial affairs of the as­sociation was the reason for Cochran's re­fusing to serve longer as chairman of the House Committee. The lat ter committee isj-esponsible, it is said, for a debt of $550, an expenditure that Col. Watspn absolutely refused to have saddled upon the regimental treasury.

The trouble originated on March 26, when a reception took place at the arm­ory. For this purpose $100 had been vo­ted for the House Committee, but the committee boosted the expenditures up to $331. of which $154 was spent for en­graved invitation cards. The reception was not the success that It was expected to be. and finally the debts began to mul­tiply for one reason and another, until on Saiurday night Treasurer Klar reported that the receipts amounted to $1,202.02, and the expenditures and outstanding bills to $1,752.39.

The House Committee, composed of five enlisted men. Major Cochran and Assis­tant Surgeon Jarre t t , had the hiring of all employees, fifteen in all, and it was the intention of the Board of Governors to call the committee to account when the Major's resignation put an en"d to the proceedings.

At the next meeting of the Council of Officers an investigation of the affairs of the association will be made.
