METHODISM AND EDUCATION.
An Address on the Subject by Rev. Dr.
Gilbert.
A a part of the celebration of the ct-nten-ary
of -Methodism, ilev. Dr. Gilbert, of the
Division street M. E. Church, delivered a
dl-courxj yesterday murniug on the duty
tind interest of the Mttlodist Ephvcopal
Church in educational work, taking a, a text
1-rovvrU XXIV., 3, 4 and 5. The speaker
naidthat all through thj Scripture knowledge
is made the handmaid of religion. W hen oth
ers had little interest in education, the
church filtered it. If, therefore, th Metho
dist Church is to be a Dible Church it must
encourage education. Methodism owes a
debt which idle cannot pay unless the e-tab-Uih.-s
an institution of high grade to which
lu-r j-ons and daughters may be ?ut. He
who gives his child an education dos the
bet he may. If a man is to 8iend
his life digging in a ditch, it
would not be- bed for hitu to spend
fuiir or rix years in a high school. Uut we
cannot tell always to what sphere of useful
ness a child may be adapted. Hut it would
bo better that a boy should have no learning
beyond that given in the high school than
tluit he should be sent to a college to listen
to the teaching of infidel professors. So the
denomination hould have schools of it. own.
The children of Methodistshould be placed
ia Methodi.-t institution. We owe it to our
country to establish thee institutions. Most
college's are under the control of
home denomination. Methodism has a
membership of 1,000,000, and it should
bear its proportion of educational work.
Uut the welfare of the church itself de
mands the establishment of these -chools.
The fouuder of tho church wa a college
htudent and Methodism was begun in a
college. ThU was necessary. It took men
with large mental endowment. Otherwise
there would have been the wildest fanati
cism. All the plans of the earlier leaders
show that these leaders realized the need of
schools. In like manner if Methodism is to
Micceed in the future, it must foster educjy
tion. An educated laity U desirable, but it
is especially desirable that education should
bo encouraged for the furnishing of the
ministry. The future will 'demand a more
highly educated ministry than tho past.
There is already difficulty in properly sup
plying the Methodist pulpit.- The church in
creases more rapidly than the ministry, and
men are forced into the ministry before
properly educated. Again the missionaries
and the editors demand education. Have
we gifts let ns consecrate them to the church,
that it may prosper.
AT POWERS's' OPERA HOUSE.
An Address by Mrs. Sunderland, of
Ann Arbor.
Quite a large audience assembled at Pow
ers' Opera House last evening, to witness
thf Unitarian services as interpreted by
Mrs. Eliza R. Sunderland, of Ann Arbor.
Tho novelty of a woman in the pulpit proba
bly drew the larcer portion of the aud-
ienc to the theatre. Mrs. Sunderland, in a
quiet, unostentatious manner, conducted
the services, and delivered the address
of the evening. Pretending to no effects of
oratory she gave a plain talk upon the mis
sion of the church, its doctrines and purpos
es. The defense of "women in the pulpit"
may be left to others. Suffice it to say for
Mrs. Sunderland, that while she is undoubt
edly sincere in her work as a liberal mission
ary, it is somewhat doubtful that she could
ever build up and hold a large congregation
of advanced thinkers. The numbers render
ed by the choir, especially the solos, were
particularly pleasing. The pastor, Rev. Mr.
Powers, was in Ann Arbor yesterday.

The Boy; or, Life a School.
The K"v. Chas. Flnhrer opened his series
of live Shakcsperian lectures last evening
with a large audience.
'The Roy: or. Life a School," was the
subject, and the speaker took a latitude in
discusdngit that ranged from the distinctive
marks of a loy kicking the cover in the
cradle, to the point of when he feels himelf
unpresentable in decent society. He gather
nl together incidents of boy-life that show
ed, true to nature, that the loy is the father
of the man, and demonstrated that any
household that musters a loy can pointedly
siy, ''he is our king." for he rules every
thing. The lecture was listened to with
great interest throughout.
Captured a Burglar.
Defective Connelly arretted Frederick De
catur, Saturday, charged with burglarizing
Koby Son's salomon last Thursday night.
Connelly got a cine to the burglar through a
handkerchief and memorandum book which

i.arned that Decatur was in town and
wmt to his roorn on Monro street where he
captured him. Up searched him and found

Practical Fruits of a Sunday School f
Christmas Tree.
The great truth that it is more blej?4 to
give than to receive was practically illustrat
ed at the Park Congregational Church la.-t
evening. The Sunday School tion room
were packed w ith children and members of
the school, several not being able to obtain
elttings. The theme of the evening was
'giving," and especially to the poor. All the
recitations, scripture readings, responsive
readings and much of the muic,bore direct
ly uion this subject. The Sunday
school had brought it offerings to
deposit at the foot of empty Christ
mas trees for the ioor. Little hands and
large arms were laden with all kinds of pre-
seut-s, and as the superintendent called the
roll of the clashes they deposited the same
at the plasdorm. This jortion of the erer
cises was especially interesting, and when
the infant classes bore their treasures, and
Rev. Powell's aged pillars theirs, the little
ones could not longer hold their happine,
and clapi-d their liands joyously. It would
be difficult to estimate the number of lock
ages deiosited at the trees, but it i safe to
say there welfc enough to give the children of
five hundred homes a merry Christmas. A
large sun of money formed part of the gift,
and the members of the school have cause to
remember with rejoicing the time when they
played the part of Santa Clau to brighten
ho many cheerless homes and hearts.
A Complimentary Dinner.
Last evening Peter Doran, Esq., tendered
Hon. Isaac Marston, who i in tho eity as at.
torney for the defense in the Millard trial, a
complimentary supier. There were a few
invited guests present and the menu which
was served at "the Senator's" Morton House
restaurant, was most excellent." It consisted
of chicken broth, blue pointa steamed, lard
ed partridge, quail on toast, chicken salad,
etc. It reflected great credit upon the Sena
tor's reputation as a caterer, to which the
gentlemen present attested inasmuch as they
had a most enjoyable time, noticeable for
quibbles, jokes aud such flashes of merri
ment as are especially characteristic in a
gathering of legal talent,

Piano to be Given Away.
It has been stated by certain competitors I
i rnn f.li nrlvorfuomonta oiul in rtn Truant I
with people that the Sohmer piano is a
"second-class" and an 'inferior" instru- i
ment. In order to give them a chance to
substantiate these statements publicly I will
make the following offer:
If these parties will bring competent au
thority and proof that the Sohmer is not a
"first-class" piano in tone, action, material,
.workmanship and durability in fact in
every respect I will give the finest piano at
my store to a worthy musical society of this
city free of charge.
This offer I will hold open for the next
thirty days.
In the meantime I invite the public to call
at my store to examine the Sohmer, which is
tho standard of excellence.
