explanation Is verv simple. All mlvocnte
or anarchy, from Protidhnn to those of our
own t mrs, have been atheists-rent or pre-ended-and
their aiiarehlstlc nrlnclples nre
he logical result of their nthelsm. If there
be no (iod, there con be no lnw tint nnv
man would be bound to obev, f.ir then tn
man nnd no number of men would have
any authority over their fellow men except
such iih superior physical strength mlcht

to derive from It all the enjoyment poslble,
without nny regard to bin fellow men 'o
whom lit Is In no wnv bound This ronaon
Insr of the nthelst Is. from hN point of view,
unanswerable. Kor him private property Ik

Due (at Atheism,
This Is anarchy, puro nnd simple. It li
the anarchy which Is beRlnnlnn tn confront
us hero -In the I'nlted States. It is tho
anarchy which has bec.omo a serious men
nee to social order In franco, Italy mil
other count rl.s of Kurope. Now, anarch v
exists In all theso places because many ef
the people are tainted more or les with
n theism, of .which anarchy Is. as I have
said, the .logical outcome. I,arK. numbers
of persons In fhosfl countries have been led

An uneducated but religion people tiny

educated nnd atheistic peoplo will be
neither contented nor happy and can never
be governed except by force
The mistake of our modern educational
theorists Is easily explained They ronMder
the pleasant lot of the well-to-do. They
nnd these people living in comfortable
homes, well fed nnd well clothed, lending
comparatively pleasant and easy lives anil
observing a correct outward decorum. They
may havo little or no religion, but thv
have n fair education, which gets the credit
for their being a law nbldlng people. It Is
too often forgotton that they havo good
reason to bo law abiding, for the law se
cures them in the possession of the gnol
things which they enloy, and very naturally
they nre In favor of law and order
Hut what about the great masses of peo
ple who are not rich and who aro not con

have a class that will have nothing to
sell but their labor. If no one was nhlUed
to sell his labor no one could buy labor. In
which case nil would be equally poor, for
wealth would have no value.
Now, our educatlonnl theorists propose
to niako these tollers law nbldlng clt'zens

Pulpit Thoughts
Must Kxerelse .More Cure,
Rev. Newton M. Mnnn discussed the prob
lems suggested by tho assassination of
President McKlnlcy nt Unity church yester
day morning and paid trlhuto to tha
achievements of tho lamented chief execu
tive. "Tho nsrassinatlon of three presldonta
must bring tho nation to a realization of tho
folly of allowing our public men to np
peor ostentatiously at pnbllo meetings.
Public receptions nnd speeches from tho
renr ends of trains should bo dono awny
with. Tho nation has come to be so great
nnd Its peolo so varied that It Is not ad
visable to ndhcro to tho customs which
provalled when the republic, was first or
ganized. It Is maintained that tho seclu
sion of tho p-csldcnt would excite criticism
nnd would cnuso peoplo to say thnt demo
rrntlc customs aro on the wane," said Rev.
Mnnn. "Lit such clrltlclsm ho made. It
would ho folly to allow other men to be
killed In the hopo of trying to ndhero to
practices which woro Instituted when tho
untlnn was In its Infancy. Restrictions
should nlso bo plncod upon froo speech.
A government should not allow the ad
vocacy of doctrines which tend to ovor
throw law and government. It Is suicidal to
permit surh utterances.
"President McKtnley's career was a bril
liant ono. His achievements were wonder
ful. This will bo ndmltted by persons of
all political beliefs. Ho brought tho nation
from obscurity to tho dignity of a world
power. Ho was the apostle of expansion
nnd his namo will always bo associated In
history with the adoption of this new policy
by tho United Stntra. We stand bo near
tho life of tho lamented McKlnlcy that It
W impossible to pass Judgment upon his
work. Somo mnlntntn that tho changes In
stituted In tho government's foreign policy
by tho McKinley administration woro not
wlso. Even If they wero not wlso they
were popular. They pleased the mnjorlty of
Americans nnd thoro Is no reason to bellevo
that tho policy of expansion will ever bo
abatitloned by the United States."
LlKht III the Clouds.
At St. Mary' Avenuo Congregational
church Sunday morning the pastor. Dr. C.
S. Sargent, preached from Job xxwll, 21:
"Tho bright light which Is In tho clouds."
"McKlnlcy triumphed In his denth oven
more than In his life," he said. "Ho
brought together men of nil creeda and nil
convictions; tho shot of tho assassin roado
him something moro than tho leader of a
victorious party; it marts him nn Inspira
tion for nil thnt Is highest find best, a
symbol of tho work of civilization.
'When Lincoln was ass.islnated thoro
wero thousands of men who exulted over
the event, but nnto tho chnngo that has
been wrought slnco that time. To mourn
tho taking off of President McKlnlcy mon
of all parties united, All party nnd sec
tional strlfo was forgotten and democrat
and republican voiced his praises from
tho snmo platform. And here In this
church, on tho occasion of tho memorial
meeting tho other night, wns witnessed a
gnthering even moro remarkable, made up
of peoplo who could not have been assem
bled a quarter of a century ago. Horo tho
denn of tho cnthedrat touched elbows with
tho representative of that wandering
church, tho Salvation Army. They sang
'Load, Kindly Light.' written by the car
dinal of the Roman Catholic church, nnd
'Nearer. My Ood. to Thee.' the composition
of a minister of tho Unitarian Congrega
tional church, and thus wero brought to
gether In harmonious unity the very ex
tremes of Christian fnlth.
"I think the tlmo In not far off when
denominational lines will ho wiped nut and
tho churches will be distinguished from
each other by geographical differences
only, when they will bo known as tho
'Church of Now York, the 'Church of Chi
cngo,' tho 'Church of Omaha,' and so on
throughout tho republic nnd the world."

Ileliulon mill Society',
Illshop-Coadjutor Williams delivered tho
sermon of the dny at St. Mnthlas rhurch
yesterday morning and Incidentally paid his
respects to mombers of, tho clergy who
wander away from the text.
nishop Williams' sermon- followed tho
formal ceremonies of Installation of the
Rov. Philip O. Davidson ns rector of the
church ond parish. Many members had
gathered to greet their new pnstor upon
his Incumbency and scores o' Interested vis
itors added to the number.
Special music was rendered for tho occa
sion nnd tho Impressive "Offlco of tho In
stallation of Ministers" carried out In full,
nishop Williams officiating. Tho latter
then preached the sermon of the morning,
which was a discussion of tho functions of
nn Episcopal clorgymnn, the elemonts both
In himself nnd his (lock Incident to his
success and that of his ehurch nnd thu
spirit In which he should bo met and re
ceived by the congregation.
Tha text was tho last verso of the fifth
chapter of Apostles, peculiarly nppllcablo
nt tho time, reading. "I ask, therefore,
with what Intent yo havo sent for me."
Tho functions of a clergyman, unld Illshop
Williams, were three thoso of preacher,
pastor and priest; an exponent of tho truo
faith of the gospel, a leader of his flock and
an ndmlnlstrntor of tho sacrament. Under
tho second head tho bishop said;
"Too many priests aro thought well of
by their congregations nnd valued by them
because of their social attainments. Thoy
aro valued because of their abundanco of
small talk nnd tholr superiority nt reparteo,
becauso of their cleverness at making after
dinner speeches, because of their powers
as conversationalists In discussion In which
any thought or phnso of religion Is never
allowed to Intrude.
"Hut this Is wrong, all wrong. I tell you
that n prleBt eannot bo n society man nnd
n clergyman. Loving sympathy nnd wisu
counsel, constant patience, kindliness and
virtue should he the traits for which first
of all his people should hold him dear, not
thoso of a soclnl light or an athlete."
Tho cosmopolitan clergy In genornl wis
tho target for another of Olshop Williams'
shafts. In discussing a clergyman's duties
ns a preacher ho bemoaned thu fact that
utterances from tho pulpit wero becoming
so generally foreign to tho gospel Itself.
"Look nt tho Chicago papers on any Sun
day morning." ho said. "Turn to tho pages
of church announcements. Much of the time
not 2 per cent of tho subjects there an
nounced deal in nny particular with tho
essential truths and facts of tho gospel.
They nro Instead a referenco to somo sub
ject of the world's llfo with which peoplo
nro already sickened from hearing It dis
cussed nil the week through on every side.
They wish no rcvlow of It from the pulpit.
Let tho Sabbath bo for tho gospel."
Snlvntlon for All.
Uev. Merton Smith, who has been con
ducting revival meetings In different parts

first ten verses of the nineteenth chapter
of Luke.
Hov. Mr. Smith' said In part:
"God cnn save to tho uttermost. People
know how to live right; bow to live hon
setly. Tho question Is do they want to live
right? Jesus camo to savo and not to con
demn, Anyone who wants to lhe right
nnd be saved can do so. Thero Is no magic
In getting religion."
At tho close of his discourse Hev. Mr
Smith paid a trlbuto to the lato president,
"Although opposed politically to many
of my dearest convictions," said tho
speaker, "President McKinley was one man
who bad absolutely won my love and re
spect, by his upright nnd Christian life."

could be expected. He said:
"She went out for two hours' driving
today nnd still seems to be holding her

dent had sent on from Washington for uso
during the summer vacation. l)r Hlxey
and Mrs. C. llarbcr accompanied Mrs. Mc
Kinley. The first trip wna to the ceme
tery this morning nnd It wau taken nt the
request of Mrs McKinley.
A much longer drive was taken during
the afternoon at tho suggestion of the doc
tor, who feels that his patient Is bene
fited by nil tho outdoor llfo she can stand
and can bo Induced to take. These out
ings have always had a tendency to pro
duco sleep nnd rest nnd to Increase tho
appetite for her and now they havo that
effect to a degree, at least. It is under
stood that Mrs. McKlnlcy Is securing fairly
good rest In tho midst of hor sorrow nnd
grief.
