In Dr. i Inndenin's opinion, when he states ttiat "the eoiiseuses of tho Church, the citations anil reverent use of the Scriptures In the Knthers. their recognition hy tho early s'audaids these historical evidences have no value In the study of tho holy Scriptures." Di. Clendenin, In his answer to the question, "Why Am 1 n Churchman 'says. In put: "Man's hope for all that Is eternal Is in the Incarnation. The Church Is the continued In i carnation. Christ lovetl the Church and gave Himself for it. The faith of the Church is the faith once for all delivered to the saints To tho trcmondous question. W hat must a man do to he saved Protestantism has 4tx dllTeient answers, but the answer of the Church Is clear and definite. The Holy dhost dwolls In tho Chinch and is received through tho saernmentH of the Church. There Is nothing permanent In the world but the Catholic Cliuich j,very national Church that would keep itself with tin Church of prlmitivo ami upostollc days must, from time to time, free itself from the nccrotlonsof human error and restore what it has lost by eontattwith a despoiling world. This, after centuries of eventful history, tho Anglican Church dldand is now doing. Nootherlargo part of the Church ever darod undertake a return to pure Catholic faith anil practice bo causo of the suffering and conflict such a res toration Is suro to cause. But the Anglican Church the Church pre-eminently of the Anglo-haxon raco having made this public and humiliating acknowledg ment, may well hope to be tho eontrn which, under Clod, Is to bring into peaceful union tho now divided Catholic Church, and In that union find answer to the prayer of our Lord. 'That thoy all may be one; that the world may bel lev o that Thou hast sent Mo.' " Thnt Dr Clcndenln's opposition to Dr. Drlccs's ordination Is heartily Indorsed by High church men and Ixiw Church men, Protes tants and Catholics, Is evident from the lotters and telegrams he receives from all over the country, home of tho letters from clergymen and others In other dioceses were seen by u Suv reporter 5 esterdciy. Dr. Clendenin has re solved many letters from membersof tho priest hood In this diocese. He does not desire to make any of these public now. "I have just read with admiration nnd gratltudo your noble letter to llisliop Po'tor published in The Hut.." writes a New Jorsey rector, "and Iwritefo congratulate you and our ostry on tho stand von have taken As you say, why should ono with Dr. Ilrlggs's avowed views desire to bo In the ministry of a Church which solemnly pro fesses what he scouts? I feel sure your action will do good." From it rector up tha State Dr Clendenin has reeejyed tills letter: iour letter will. I am sure, he a real ser vice to the Church and a holp and encourage ment to thoso who nro trvlng to teach and to prattlco tho Catholic faith. I hope you will not consider It an Intrusion on my part to write this and to ansure you of my remem brance at our altar here on Hunday morning next at tho early celebration." Among the letters from members of other "hurdles Is this one, "I was born and roared In the Protestant I'plscopal Church, and tin error, perhapsl I loft It when 1 was converted, because Its pastois lid not seem to me to stand for the religion ot my Master. our letter In The N'kw York hUM has done more to command my resect for the Fplsoopal Church than any other thing I can think of If I sliould ho sure that I could llnd In the I'plscopal l luirch the doctrines you hold and defend so ably I would roturn to lt B ouiiiiiiuioii tu-dnv J lent, however, reverend B Mi that ton vouielf will hecalled on 'tosufter m mm tilings Lecauso of Him.' now thnt vou 9 h ive taken the siitud you have, and I write to tell vou that my heart rospondsto your heart, and that I shall ask oui dear Lord to givovou llinstroncthyou nied " Dr llrlggs's opponents In thodlocose. led hv Dr ( leinlenln, will prefor tho charge of heresy against Dr liriggs If ho docs not withdraw his application for holy orders His opponents be lieve that, evon If the Standing Committee did pis overDr llrlggs's previous writings, the llisliop will have to consider n charge basod on Dr. Iirlggs's "General Introduction to the study of tho Holy Scripture," pub lished a few weeks ago, Tho Rev Dr, Morgan Dlx, Ircsldent of tho Standing Committee, says that he has not read tho now book He aid to a reporter that ho bolleved that Dr. HrlgBs had become more conservative slnco he left the Presbyterian Church.

MESSAGES M03I nETOSlh Another riergymnn Who RimprcU That the Spiritualists llnvr Got Hold of the Truth, At All Souls' Episcopal Church yesterday morning the Itev, Holier Newton preached on the subject of communication with Mi? unseen iplrltual world. All of the world's great move ments, he said, had been begun hy persons who acted under the Inspiration of spiritual communications, and he cited the visions of 8U Paul, the volcos of .loan of Arc and tho mysterious guidances of Mohammed. If these things happened In the past, he said, why not In this oentury, "My'own mother," said Dr. Newton, "had a curious experience when a young girl. She went South with no Invalid brother, who grow rapidly worse after thoy hnd arrived at their destination. It was soon home In upoA her that ha was about to die. Tar from home, with n dvlng brother In her charge, she was over whelmed with care nnd grief, nnd one day wandered Into the garden to give way to her tears unseen. As nho seated herself under a Iree. a bit of paper blown by the wind rustled to her feet. It wns a scrap from a Philadel phia newspaper, and seeing the name of tho city on it she nicked It up. That slip of paper contained a poem of consolation which was hilm to her soul. Was that accident, chance? Doubtless. If It stood alone.,we should so term It. hut It Is one of n million cases "Peoplo say that theie Is no scientific rroof of communication between this world and the other. How should there have been thus far The possibility of scientific investigation has come onl with the recent advance or science. Already the great minds of science are re pouncing the attitude of skepticism toward this great question, it Is objected, too, that tho conditions of spiritual communication nro hard, even harsh. People ask whv we must seek help to communn.nte .with the loved ones who hnvo passed away. That Is one of the questions we cannot vet understand: but let us not dogmatically'cast out this belief simply bocnuse there are some features of it that are hard ot comprehension. To some minds nothing more puerile than spirit rap pings can be imagined, let in my studies In erimlnolocv I found that prisoners Mmmuied In their solitary oells communicated by just such rapping?. That may suggest a thought. All the movement of communication between mind nnd mind It from tho material toward tho lets miterinl. First, we have aboriginal man talking to his fellow with great gesticula tion and sign language. U lieu comes writing, so that friends when far apart mav communi cate. Next comes the woudorful telegraph and telephone. Who inn sav that telepatlu mind sneaking to mind without extranootin aid Is not merely a further step forward Sweden horg says that the angels do not speak tint with them thought Is enough W hen tho angels wish to communicate with us, then, would It not bo without speech "As men crow In kunwlodge, the Increase of scopo of t'e liumnn mind prepires the way for the possibility of such communication br In creasing our recertivity. 1 could tell jouof many eminent thinkers to-day who believe Implicitly that they receive communications from the other world. Dallv there Is an In creasing consciousness among great minds ot the truth which, aside from uncanny nnd dls respectable surroundings nnd nllegod inter pretations, .underlies this great uuestion " lilt.

If. waa decided to make an effort to Induce the Hev.

Christian teachers would be employed wher ever iracticablu. Those Interested In the proposed scholar ship discovered that Dr. John Hall was some thing o! a poet unknown to ills friends, and distributed In the church jesterdaythe fol lowing verses which the late pastor lot! in the minister's room one dav In 1K4 before the ladles' noon urnver meeting, marked "to be read at the meeting If desired".

It contains a gymnasium, bos' and girls' club rooms, a circulating library, assembly rooms, u swimming tank and a children's playroom. The vlcarago. at the First avenue end of the property, was the next building to be finished. The church Is be tween these two buildings and is loined to them bv cloistered gallsiles. All the buildings are of ltoman brick of a soft, golden-brown color. The architecture It old Gothic. The three Interlocked circles and the other symbols ot the Trinity, the drinking shell of Ht. James and the nalmtree start of St. Christopher are utilized every where that Is possible In the decorations. 'I he striking feature oftlieextetior architecture of the church Is the tower, which, though very large, is saved from the appearance of heavi ness bv its open, light Interior and the d!l cacyof the ornamentation of Its spire.

Here They Don't Think Much of Kllty Ting ley, hut 8he Made Things Livelier A Commonplace Seaalon In I.yrlo Hall Millie Hhn Is Making Iloynl Progresses. That fragment of lonl thcosophy which has abjured Kitty Tlngley nnd all her works and gone Into business on Its own account held a public meeting ntLyrlo Hall last night. Tho public at tho meeting was about ISO strong nnd It took Its theosophy straight In consecu tive doses. Mr. John M. Pryso officiated aa chief Yogi for tho evening. After four young girls named Neldhart had performed some pleasant music on string in struments Mr Pryso aroso nnd announced that unfortunately two of tho expected speak ers were suffering from bad colds and wore too sick to bo ill. n seeming paradox whlsh ap peared to be satisfactory to the thcosophlo mind. As thn first speaker Mr. Pryso Intro duced Mrs. Vera Johnston, a nlecn ot the late Mmo, Illaratsky, founder and patron saint ot modern theosophy. Mrs. Johnston revealed herself as a toll, blond woman, who wore what appeared to ho either a fireman's jacket or a golf coat with a black front, and who spoke In mildly broken English. She Is ono of the most deliberate speakers that over stood on a public stage. When shocot warmed up to hor subject she spoke as rapidly as thirty words a minute, but most of the time she didn't make anything like that time. How ever, she expressed a hopo that sho waa "attaining some meaning," and ns her audi ent.e applauded her, she probably waa. She didn't tell much about her aunt, on the ground that revelations regarding the departed lady would merely servo to gratify an unworthy curiosity Next came a delightfully plump and youthful looking character, who was Introduced as Mr Fred Hint Mr Flint doesn't speak much faster than Mine Blavatsky's niece, blithe has a different method He's n douhlo-harrellod orator He llres off his words In pairs: and nfter each shot he pauses and looks around to sen if he's bagged much gntno Mr. Flint's subject was "Personal Responsibility." To begin with he announced that he belonged to the White l,otus Theosophlcal Society of Houston street, nn Independent or gnnlrntlon. Then, to show how Independ ent heiwns. ho proceeded to let the Chris tian religion and thn trusts have It with both bnrrels. Ho also took a pot-shot nt "vitts Tlnglev's theosophlsts, who. he said, were wasting their time In "ephemeral chari ties" Turning his attention to his own brand oftheosophy.be enunciated some lofty senti ments nbout harma A great many people had found Knrnui dlfllcult of comprehension, and some have advanced the theory that it is tho original proposition put bv the Sphinx. Mr. Ired Mint tlocsn t hold with these. Hu said list night that hnrmn wns easy, nnd then gave a definition of it that caused awan and groping expreshlon to overspread the facial nspect of his audience Perhaps it was their oovlous lallurn to understand which Inspired him to remark with cynical iconoelasm Immediately after. "We must scknow ledge that we ro not much good after nil " Then he fiirthei "got hunk on his hearers hv delivering a few charges on the subject of the "responsibility of collectivity." and whon ho sit down most ot the people looked ns If thev'd be niuili obliged to an body who would lu lng them a map and show them where thoy wore nt Some music by Miss Cecilia Bradford gnvo them a chance to recover, nnd ns soon as thoy recovered they began to escape, pre sumably witli a vlow to giving pro found individual attention to tho ro nponslhlllty of collectivity. Not moro than twenty had reached the door when Miss Anna M. Stabler was Introduced to speak on tho " Wistlom-ltellglon." Miss Stabler, who Is a determined-looking person with a rather handsome face anil grayish hair, stood ellont with a end, reproachful gazowhilo 6even lag gards shamefni edly f-lftetl out Into the hall; then she legunwitli the highly pertinent ob servation that there Is too much hurry in this world lVoplowcrn always in a hurry to get everything, oven religion, she snid: but no re ligious ore miration has got tho real truth. Miss stabler herself belongs to none of them, she said. Whit she chlelly pleaded for was frankness: that everybody should say just what ho or she thought, and sho gave a sample of It bv saving I'm disgusted with those people who are nlnnvs trsing to be good." That audience straightened up a If some body had lntroducednunlvorsal pin In the seat ofltschnirs One focussotl Its thcosophlo dis approval upon 31lss Stabler. "Well," said bile, "I mean the goody-good kind of good " , hhn tlnisht d up by asking with pathetic In tonntion why we couldn't all be good naturally and without trying, n query which is al leged to have been nut by successive generations of tearful children to the Spirit of Justice, embodied in tho mother of tho familv. holding. In lieu ot scales, nn Inverted hairbrush Nobody answered this query or looked as if there was any necessity lor answering it, so Miss Stabler sat down. Then Mr Prvse got up anil said that as the rent of the hull had to be pilii. tlio hat would bo pissed hi omul, and from the nudlence came the gladsome voice of one rejoicing In the solution of a long-pondered problem- "Oh. tint's what ho meant by the responsi bility of collectivity 1" Mi. Frvse then made his speech on the At tainment of Dlvlno Powers." the four young girls pluvod again nnd It was all over.

Dr. Jay llonson Hamilton of tho Do Kalb Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church Introduced nn Innovation Into his Sunday evonlng services recently. Instead of preach ing sermons from Hcrlptural toxts. ho reads stories, written hy htmselt-pulplt romnno.es. he calls them. Ho finds they are very success ful In reaching the olass of people who usually fall to come to church because thoy nro " not Interested." Dr. Hamilton has frequently before this used stories Instead of sermons. On Christ mas ho usually reads a story Instead of preach ing n sermon. Ills Innovation now has taken tho shapo of presontlnga serlos of stories, with a connected running theme two overy 8un day night. Tho first two, preached April 2,'l, were callod "The Sermon In a Saloon'' and "Tho Par son's Free Lunch." Tho first told how a Jleth pdlst minister had entered a tough barroom In a Western mining town and. climbing on a gambling table, had begun losing hvpins and pray during scenes of drunkenness nnd mur der. The minors combined nnd bought the barroom foi a church for him Thn second storv told how the pastor advertised a "love feast,' and the miners gathered in nntlclpMloii of Imvliignlotot good things to eat. When thoy discovered that the lovo foast was spirit ual they called tho prayer meeting "the inr son's free lunch." Last night's stories. "Tho Parson's Wife, the ( .lilef of Police" nnd "A Methodist Halnt,' dwelt on the Influence for law nnd or der anil decency of the parson's wlfo on tho bad men and women of tho town. In the sec ond story it is told that the parson's wife went Into a disorderly house and ministered to a woman who hnd been mortally hurt In a fight, nnd then reformed the six remaining women so effectually thnt one of them became the vv Ife of tho Mayor of the town Next Sunday's stories will be "The Only Bnbv In Town "and "Tho Lost Parson " jtAtssFonn to vsios hies. He Preaches nt Ills Church the Annual I.nbor Mermon of thn V. A. I. I., Tho annual labor sermon Instituted by the Church Association for the Advancement of the Interests of Labor n year ago was delivered last evening in St. Georgo's Protestnnt Lpis copal Church by the Itov. W. 8. Hainsford. The church was well filled, the middle aisle being reserved for tlio representatives of or ganized labor. There were more social le formerstlian labor unionists In the congrega tion, fully one half of which was composed of women. Dr. Italnsfonl did not preach from a text, but tho aim of his sermon was to show tint Individual regeneration Is necessary be fore society can bo regenerated on religious lines "The problem that we havo to solve," he said, "demands all the acumen that wo can sparo. and thorefore we should recognise nil the gain that Ins been made, nnd stimulate each other in thankfulness foi what (lotl has done for us above our fathers If wo aro to accomplish nnvthlng we must set about it in a spirit of thankfulness, for conditions havo greatly improved in the last two generations Moro fairness exists between emplovers und emplovees. nnd there is a better feeling of svmpathy between man and man. Class dis tinction Is giving way. slowly but steadily." As to corruption. Dr. llalnsford slid that many men had told him, under the eoal of con fession, of its existence. It was not tho sin of n class or a corporation, ho said, but of tlio nation. the itEr. dr. wi. limit's rzAxs. Ho Says Ills Friends Will Chip In to Provldo Him a New Church Building. The llev Dr. Daniel W. Wlshor. one tlmo pastor of tho Mount Olivet Baptist Church, de livered himself of a deflanco to his enemies yesterday afternoon in his home at 31 Storm avenue. Jersey City. "I was not expelled from the church le gally." he declared. " Ot all the persons at that meeting thero were not seventy-five bonafldo members of the church. At least three-fourths of the members of the church aro my friends. The rest of those at tho meeting were a set of rascals who would stop at nothing to gain their ends I did not appear at thnt meeting be cause my life would havo been endangered. Men who desecrate a house dedicated to Ood by Bhedalng blood within its walls and who cursoand swear and fight on Laster bunday would hesitate at nothing when tho meeting was held In u public hall. "Butlhave given up the fight. The church owes me $1,000 nnd I don't know what steps I shall tako to recover it. I will never preach at Mount Olivet Church again Next Sunday I will hold services in a hall which I Intend to hire. Fully KOO membersof tho church have pledged sums of money, and If we can't buy a church property already built we will build a new edifice. The Itev. I II.

In mnklnrr those new contracts It hat not been found practlcablo to do other , wlso thnn follow in freneral tho method hitherto observed whon reductions in r.ito havo lieon mndo, vlr., to mako n superseding contrnct under tho no scliedulo only nt tho end of tho current nnnunl tcrin of tho existing contract. No previous reduction of rntc, how ever, hns nffectod so ninny subscribers at ono tlmo as tho presont one. Conse quently a modification of tho former prnctico has seemed proper, f'; order tint all iitbirrihert who make new con trait may practically ventre the benefits of the new riileifinm Mat Ht, 1809. To nceompllsh this tho foi lowing method will bo observed: The now rntes will bo offered to each present wibscrlbor nt tho oxplration of his current contrnct year. If a contract under tho new scliedulo Is mado In ao cordnnco with such offer, nnd tho nd vanep pnymonts required by tho old con tract lmo been made, nnnllowance will bo mndo to tho subscriber of tho dlfTor enco botween tho old nnd tho now rates for tho number of local messages covered by tho old contract for tho period bo tween May 1, 18011, and the ditto of tho now contract. Tho amount allowed undcrthisriiloin any case will boplaced to the subscriber's credit on account of his new contrnct. In all other respects tho adjustment of tho account under the old contract will bo in accordance with tho terms of tho contract and of tho old schedule. If tho subscriber so prefers, a new contract under tho now scliedulo will bo ncceptod to supersede the old contract beforo tho expiration of tho current con tract year, tho superseding contraot to tako effect nt tho end of tho current contrnct qunrtcr, but in this caso no additionnl allowance will bo made) from tho requirements of tho old con tract. . A lint rate contract may bo superseded at tho end of any month by n, contract under tho now schedule. Of tho total number of flat rate subscribers nt $240 a year, it is estimated that about one half, say 1,250, can obtain n reduction of rate by taking service under tho new schedule. Theso subscribers are in vited to investigate the mattor, and tot, arrango for contracts on such basis aa may seem to thoin most advantageous. WHEN ANNUAL TERMS UNDER.
