UTTER LACK OF UNITY AMONG PEOHE
Relates Conditions of Womin h end and
Appeals to Women of This Conn
try Appreciate Their
Blessings.
iv. J. T' txha. D. D., of Evanston, 111.,
who recently spent nix months In India a
ihe agent of the American Congregational
Vorelgn Mission aorlety, spoke during the
morning In the First Cnngregntlnnal church
on the subject of mission work. At 4
o'clock In .the afternoon he addressed a
, union gathering In. St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregational church and In the evening re
turned to the First church, where his ad
dress was Illustrated with stereopticon
lews. Thl evening he speaka at the an
nual supper of the church and Friday
afternooh at i o'clock In Plymouth church.
Mrs. Lob will speak to the united women'a
societies of the denomination.
"From my tour 'of India I waa allowed
to bring back one dominating: Impression:
How great Is humanity; how great It la
.to belong to humanity this great atrug
gllng, mixed, triumphant, beaten human
race," said Rev. Mr. Loba. 'The one
great characteristic which distinguishes the
nearly 300.000,000 souls of India Is that
they have no unity, no one characteristic.
They are a people which has tested every
trial and every triumph; they are seekers
after God In the highest manner, they are
abject grovellers In the darkest fetishism;
the country reveals the highest types of
men and women, and human, beings sunk
to the lowest degree of beastliness; they
reveal the greatest philosophy and grovel
In tha darkest of heathenism;, we have
here a people Illustrating tire utter lack
of unity." ' 1
!fo Sense of Racial Idea.
The speaker showed that the peninsula
lacked all sense of racial Idea; the people
biding of ail aorta the original substratum
of dark people, and another, the Arlan race,
which had Invaded the land before the
time of Abraham. These had brought In
eiclal distinction and forced It upon the
older race. So. there waa no social unity.
The Arians had brought the casta system
which affected bloAd, occupation, family
everything; and made Impossible all union
among people of different castes. Then,
there waa no language unit. The varloua
governments were full of hatred and often
at war with one another. There' waa no
religious unit the Hindoos and Mohamme
dans heJng utterly opposed. The people
worshiped 83,000,000 gods. The Rrahmins
had absorbed Buddhism and would absorb
also Christianity If the Christiana
would permit It. The religion of India la
a religion of fear, and constant piacatlon
of gods.
He then told of the condition of woman
hood In India and appealed to the American
women to appreciate their blessings. Ho
fcrww very enthusiastic lr. tolling of the
work don already by tha mission workers
and paid them the highest tribute. Ceylon
had 10.000 children In Its Christian schools
and In southern India were 17,000 Christiana
worshiping In tholf own churches. The
medical missions were another branch of
the work which he described. -He referred
to the hospital made by an American
where 19,000 patients were yearly treated.
He ended with a strong appeal for the
wark. ,
BOOKS OP - VARIOl'B RELIGIONS.
Others Besides Bible ' for Which In
spiration Is Claimed.
Kev. Newton M. Mann at Unity church
yesterday delivered tha sixth lecture In his
winter course. Tha subject waa "Publica
tion to tha Westerij World of the 8acred
Hooks of tha Eaat." Ha discussed tha
nature of these scriptures; estimation In
which they are held, and aald that their
appearance waa fatal to tha pretenae that
the moral law wa communicted exclusively
to the Hebrewa.
, "One thousand years after the establish
ment of the Christian church In Europe,"
aald, Rev. Mr. Mann, "the Bible waa the
only known book for which Inspiration was
claimed. About the time of the rise of
Moslem power a book waa heard of which
was claimed to be. tha work of Ood. For
hundreds of yeara it waa hardly known by
tnore than Ita name In Europe. Thla book
waa tha Koran. There are two facta con
nected with tha Koran which make It a
remarkable book. One la that It la the
most wldoly read of any work In tha
world today, and tha other la that Moham
medans believe the book haa exlated
through all eternity In heaven, and that It
waa aent down section by section to tha
prophet and that tha sections were brought
to earth by tha angel Gabriel.
"An examination of the Koran will dis
close the fact that It draws freely upon
tha Hebrew scriptures as well aa upon
other holy, works.
"In great astonishment the people of
Europe finally learned of Chlneaa classics
as old aa the Grecian and venerated twice
aa much, Tha works of Cdqfuclua were
finally translated and found to compare
favorably with the Bible. In fact soma
portions of them were found to be almost
Identical with that book. For Instance, tha
passage where it says, 'What you do not
like dona unto yourself, do not unto
others.' This la only a negative form of
tha golden rule. , It haa been proven be
yond doubt that the classical booka of
China Vave come down from at leaat a
century before tha Christian era aa we
have' them Joday.
' "In 1766 the Zend-Avesta was first known
In Europe, and the A vesta was translated
. into European Ungues In 1771. It waa at
first received aa a joke, no one believing
the booka could have been due to Zoro
after. But the authorship of these clas
sics la now aa well established aa that of
tha new testament. The Iranian fancy of
tha creation la older than the book of
Genesis, and la along tha same lines. Tha
"Bottled Goodnejy?

Areata la written upon the assumption of
a future I'fe. aa tha new testament Is.
No religion haa ao clearly grasped tha Idea
of right and wrong aa thla religion of tha
eaat.
"The most Important booka opened up to
the western world, howeverV are tha sacred
booka of India. The Vedaa collection la
four ot five times the alae of our Bible.
The bulk of all of theme books taken to
gether Is simply appalling to the Christian
mind. It has been ascertained by counting
that the Bible contains J.OOO.omO letters,
while the Vedaa contains 29,000,000, and this
Is only the aew testament of the religion
It represents, and ahould be compared for
bulk with out new testament, which con
talna about ftno.OQO letters. One single book
of the Indian religion contains the ten
commandmenta In much the same form aa
they were given to Moaes. They probably
were fixed at that number for the reason
that man haa ten dlgita on which to count
them off.
"The effect of the publication of the re
llgloua books of the world by Max Mueller
In thirty-nine volumes waa wonderful on
Christians, who had believed the Bible the
only Inspired book In existence. After
reading these works It cannot be believed
but that God haa made aa one every nation
of the world and that Ha haa left Himself
nowhere without witness."
LABORERS TOGETHER WITH GOD.
Relationship of Christiana nnd the
i Lord Described hy Rev, Wilson.
Rev. A. D. Wilson" spoke yesterday
morning to a large audience at Kountxe
Memorial church, on "Partnership , with
the Lord." Mr. Wilson took his theme
from Paul, saying:
"We are laborera together with the Lord
and even In Paul'a time there waa dissen
sion In the church, many breaking away
from the Corinthian church to espouse
dogmas and religious beliefs contrary to
the recognised faith. Even the Apoatolic
authority of Paul waa questioned by these
deserters. It waa then Paul referred to
the partnership he had with Christ, telling
them he waa God'a partner and saying
unto them, 'Wa are laborera together with
the Lord.'
"It la blessed to think of a partnership
between God and man and auch a partner
ship exists today, even aa in the days of
the great apostle Paul. What an honor It
la for man to say he la a partner of the
Lord; that we 'are working side by side,
together for happiness and contentment in
this life and a soul'a reward in that haven
of rest where all mankind, be he good or
bad, longa to go finally.
"God la the silent partner of mankind;
He la" the power behind the throne, the one
who furnishes the capital to carry on the
business of saving precious aoula. God la
eminently practical In Ills business rela
tion with man. He aka from each a strict
accounting, a rendering of all the things
that are Ills ' and due unto Him. Ills
subtle, blessed Influence is hidden from
many men; but to those who seek a part
nership with Him He may be found to
comprehend the real character of God
as a silent partner enter Into His fold,
draw up a contract with Him; stick
to It and you will find He la the
real power of the world of the universe
of tha starry realm, even though it con
tain a thousand worlds."

A. Rial.
In the absence of the pastor, Rev. 'A. 8.
C, Clarke, the sermon at the Lowe avenue
Presbyterian church yesterday morning
waa delivered by Rev. A. Rial. Rev. Mr.
Clarke ia suffering from throat trouble.
The text waa 'chosen from John, 1114:
"Jesus said unto him (NIcodemua), 'Verily
verily, I aay unto thee, except a man ba
born again ho canno see the kingdom of
Ood.' " Rev. Mr. Rial aaid, In part:
"NIcodemua waa one of the leaders of tha
Hebrewa In his day and time and waa In
telligent a'nd cultured. The text preaup
poaoa tha fact that he and Christ had been
conversing about religious affairs and that
tha new doctrine which, Christ had come to
promulgate waa new in soma of lta details,
and NIcodemua having an Inquisitive and
Inqulsltory 1 nature, wanted that Christ
ahould explain to him something about the
new life of which "Christ made so much
and upon which stress waa laid.
"In explaining what the new life la Christ
said it waa hard to ba explained ao i that
one could understand It. Many things in
Ufa are mysterious, yet their potency is
none tha leaa true. The wind cornea and
goea, yet no one can tell from whence it
cornea or whither It goeth. So it Is with the
new Ufa. Christ aald It waa not a phyalcal
life, but that it pertained to man'a spir
itual nature and la one of the easentlal
stepa which must be taken to fit lta pos
sessor for a more glorious future and pres
ent happiness. Tha living of tha new life,
as exemplified by Chrlat, brings to the
human aoul tha highest development of
character and happiness and all ahould
atrlva earnestly to acquire It."
HOLD CHURCH FREE FROM BLAME
Father Gannon Bays it. Bartholomew
Massacre Was Political.
' Father Peter Gannon of St. Peter's church
waa the speaker at a well-attended meeting
of the Mount St Mary Reading circle at
St. Mary's seminary avesterday afternoon.
His subject waa tha .famous maaaacre of
St. Bartholomew.
"It Is Important that historical oventa
ahould ba judged by tha standards of tha
times In which they occurred," ha aald.
"Secondly, It la accessary that tha event
be estimated . In- connection with other
eventa that surrounded It and may have
caused It
''Applying these rules to Bt. Bartholo
mew'a , massacre, while rightfully con
demned .unreservedly both then and today,
there were circumstances which aeem al
most extenuating at least make the affair
seem almost Inevitable. It waa not In any
sense a religious occurrence, but waa al
together political, and auch features of re
ligion aa entered Into It were purely ac
cidental. Tha Huguenots were rebels and
had been carrying on a revolution in France
for thirty years and always fought against
the royalists. Charles" waa very auspicious,
very jealous of his own life and easily in
fluenced by hie mother. Every one knows
what mob spirit is anywhere. Tha church
had absolutely nothing to do with tha hor
rible massacre at all."

EVERY ONE HAS A SCAR Of SOME KINO
Ono la Minna na Arm Which Ho Drop,
ped at Frnnklln, Where Hood's
Army Was Annihilated.
A half doien old veterans were seated In
the Drexel hotel lobbly last evening and
the popular question of how It felt to be
wounded waa being discussed. Each of
theni Wore scars of the "lata unpleasant
ness," one of them being mlnua an arm.
Bald the armless one:
"I lost my arm at the battle of Franklin
(Tenn.). And right here I want to call
your attention to the fact that the battle
of Franklin was one of the moat notable
battles of all history. It waa the only
battle on record where the opposing army
waa completely blotted out of existence.
'Pap' Thomaa commanded the union forces
and Hood was In command of the Johnnies.
After the battle Hood's army vanished from
tha face of the earth. Not that they all
were killed, but it wna forever wiped out
aa an organisation. You never heard of it
after that.
"Well, it waa about the middle of the
afternoon of the first day's fight that I got
my medicine. We had just been brought
up from the reserve and were put' Into
action. We must have been shooting In a
promiscuous way for half an hour when I
thought someone behind me gave a sudden
jerk at my left arm. I had 'just fired my
gun and started to load again. I went
to raise my left arm and saw that my
hand waa gone. The stump was bleeding
like sixty, but for the moment I didn't feel
the slightest pain. Then my whole left
side began to feel numbllke. I gathered
up what was left of my sleeve on that
arm and started for the regr. Then I
guess I fainted, for I do not remember
anything more until I wake up In the field
hospital with a sister of charity bandag
ing the stump of my arm, which had been
cut off Just below the elbow. I was sent
to the Washington hospital at Cincinnati
for a while and then discharged and sent
homo. I suffer some pain from it now, but
not much. The chief trouble la that aome
tlmea that missing ' hand itchea Just aa
natural like and I can hardly keep from
scratching at it. No the stump doesn't
Itch much, but It la the missing hand that
Itches." ... v
"I got a lunger," said a member of the
Fourth , of Ohio. "It happened at Burn
alde'a bridge at Antletam. We were trying
to force the bridge and General' Hancock
came dow'n where we were and ordered us
t& ford the creek below the bridge. The
Johnnies Just then opened on us from a
masked battery and It waa a holy terror,
I tell you. We were a little ahy about
piling down' into the creek, aa the, banks
were steep on the other aide, but we had
to obey orders, ao down we went with a
yell. We got some of the Johnnies' guns,
but they were stubborn about It One little
fellow, not twenty feet from us, turned
square around and biased away at me. I
tried to raise my gun to give it back to
him, but my arms seemed paralysed. Juat
then I felt aa if aomeono waa pushing an
Icicle right through my breast. I got awful
cold and my -head began to awlm and I
couldn't get my breath. Then I remember
of starting to fall and the next thing I
knew I waa lying on some hay In a field
hospital, up near the Myers house. I waa
taken to Washington afterwards and put
into the hospital there. I remember one
day a tall, kindly looking man, wearing a
scattered growth of beard, came to my cot
and asked kindly how I waa getting along.
I couldn't speak, aa my breast hurt me' so
much. Ha placed hla hand on my fore
head and asked God to bless me. It waa
President Lincoln.-" ' 1 v '
"Feel that' dent In my head, there, right
above the ear," aaid a Michigan man. "Got
that at Gettysburg. Piece of a ahell atruck
me there. When I waa hit I thought for
an Instant that the moon had fallen down
on me. It waa the day of Plckett'a charge
and we were supporting ,a Connecticut bat
tery. Next thing I remembered -was two
or three doctors atandlng about ma. One
of them said, 'I guess ha will live through
It; ha is a strong young fellow.' Then they
put a sponge to my noae and I went to,
Bleep. I atlll dreamed that (he moon waa
on top of ma and waa atlll pounding me
on the head. Well, the reault ' waa that
they had to cut out a piece of my skull
and put a' sliver plate In ita place. Thia
waa a month after tha battle. I waa deliri
ous for two or three weeks afterwards, and
was finally sent home. Don't hurt me a
bit now, but I am aa deaf aa a post in that
ear, and lost all my teeth on that aide
of my head. I only get a pension of tie
a month." ,
"I waa wounded at tha fight at Fay
ettevllle, N. C March 10, 1866," aaid a
member of the Fifth Ohio cavalry. "My
wound waa In the thigh. It waa only a
flesh wound. I It waa at tha surprise on
Kllpatrlck'a headquarters, early In tha
morning, and wa hadn't time to get any
thing but our underclothes on, us. I man
aged to get a big pair of - boota on and
hiked out for the swamp. I got stuck In
the mud at about tha second jump. A John
nie came tearing up on a corduroy road
a few feet from ua and hollered to mo to
surrender and give him my boots. I told
him I'd aea him in h Brit. Then to h
you go,' ha aaid, and ha emptied his whole
six shooter at me. Guess ha didn't want
to kill me, but I got It lnthe leg, two ahota.
They felt aa If someone waa puahfng a red
hot Iron Into my leg. He helped me out and
as I fell on tha road ha went to work and
pulled my boota off me, and I thought he
would pull my leg out by tha roots. It hurt
ma ao bad. After ha got-tbs boota ba aaid,
'I gueaa I don't need you,' and he went oft.
I managed to drag myself into our lines
and waa taken to the field hospital and
waa later aent Up to Washington. I do
not get any pension, alUiougb.one of the
bulleta la atlll in my leg."' '

Eight girl who play n different wind
Instruments, with, more or less skill and
effect, and who are labelled "Eight Vassnr
Glrla" on the bills, form tha headline fea
ture at the vattdevllle house thla week.
The wood wind quartet la probably the
best of the numbers theyi offer musically;
a saxophone sextet afforda a novelty, but
hardly an attraction, and the octet, four
corneta and four trombones. Is not devoid
of volume, whatever may be said of It In
other regards. The "turn" conclude with
an electrlo ballet. In which aome very novel
effecta In lighting costumes are Introduced.
Harry Thompson, "the mayor of the Bow
ery," Is the real hit of the bill, with his
humftrous impersonations and quiet little
stories. Rapoll easily holds his title as
foremost juggler, accomplishing his many
difficult feats with esse and grace. Morris
and Bowen are a clever pair of bar per
formers and know how to make a smt e
quiet fun aa they go along.- It Is the skill
they show aa acrobats that wins them ap
plause, however. Green and Werner alng
couple of "coon" songs In "white face,"
and then give a Zulit love song, transported
tb the latitude of the Congo, In Jungle cos
tume, and won- a rapturous recall by doing
It. Allce Lyndon Doll la a little girl with
an uncommonly pweet and pure voice,
which, though not strong, la used with ex
cellent effect In the two or three songs she
sings. She will be better Uked during the
week than she was by the Sunday audi
ences. Chrlstlna'a monkeya are a featura
that will appeal to the little folks.
The Lilliputians at the Boyd. '
A big company of little people worked
very hard and auccceded In entertaining a
large audience at tha Boyd last night. The
mldgeta are assisted by several persons
more than normal In slxe and the piece
la a spectacular affair called "Gulllver'a
Travele." The scheme Is not very definite,
buth there are many bright lines and many
songs by the chorus of pretty girls and
some 'of the principals.' James E. Rosen
as Blubherly proved himself a finished lit
tle comedian. He and Selma Goerner easily
lead the tiny actors in ability. About the
cleverest hit of the performance la the
business Introduced with the song. "Too
Many Miles From Old Broadway." Martha
Wels, - Prince Glovanl and Louis Merkel
are exceptionally handsome dwarfs. It Is
a ahow that pleases children and persona
with a keen eye for the humorous and
ridiculous and will be seen again tonight.
