INFIDEL AN
IT IMPOSSIBILITY
I Conclusion of Rev. Mr.
Eddy.
I Absolute Infidel Would Be
Faithless and Unfaith
ful Alike.
Agnostic Finds Himself Thwarted by
Human Nature Some Kinds
of Soints.
! "An absolute Infldel is a mornl Impossl-
blllty." said the flV. Frank F. Eddj
i the Unitarian church yesterday. "Infldel,
j Agnostic nnd Christian" was the lit In of
, his sermon.
! In tho course of lib sermon Mr Eddy
made some caustic remarks about the
typo of Christian who imagines himself
to bo "some kind or other of a saint,
sot apart with those of his tribe for the
glory of God."
The general tone of the sermon carried
ths Idea that, admitting all Inherent and
essential differences among: the three
types of nun who ere !.i - - l under it
heads, yet so strong Is our common hu
. man nature, no one Is able to become.
xept In ii partial sense, an infidel, an
II agnostic or a Christian.
"First take the Infidel," said the speak
er. "Taken In its liroad sense and assum
ing nil the imputations the loose usage of
the term admits, nn absolute infidel Is
a moral lntoslhllliy. He would need
to be faithless and unfaithful alike, deny
ing at one every higher sanction and
motive of human prom BBS. Because wo
are human, we cannot become an absolute
Inlidel I would not call my dog an
Infidel so long at In his Imnest eyes 1 can
read trust and fidelity To he an Infidel
usually means to deny what the estab
lished majority of any particular period
hnlH irr,il Tli.. . i ,.--1 II ,. nf llw -ill
I sometimes changes, without changing the
meaning To deny today the divine right
of property gets ..n called an anarchist
or a socialist. That Is to say. they brand
one as a social lntldel.
"It la a fine thing to bo an Infldel for
conscience's sake. There are always op
portunities enough to bo a coward for
policy, for money, or for ease. No one
will ever get a chance to bo an infidel for
any of these thing-. He will got the
cat-O -nine-tails and a handful of salt.
"Suddenly remove from human history
all that the various Infidels have done
for the world In their various epochs and
wo would be rubbing our eves and won
dering why the sun of human progress
was having an ecllpsi
"The agnoFtlc finds himself thwarted by
the old Adam. Before ho realises It he
Is In the thick of the fight It Is Just hu
man nature Herbert Spencer seems of
all mon peculiarly born to bo an agnostic,
accepting only that which could adequati -ly
lie proven,
"if there Is anything that ought to
make one grateful to a divine providence,
I It Is that human nature has prevented
men from being the kind of Christians
they thought they wanted to be. Take
that tyM ol m m who Imagines himself
to be some kind or other of a saint, set
apart with those of his tribe for the
glory of God. Ills whole Interpretation
of things Is partial, not universal He
assumes a chosen people, a holy Bible,
a Christ dying vicariously for human
sins, a divinely Instituted church, all to
save whom" To save tle.se who are not
brave enough to be Infidels, or wise
enough to be agnostics, or simple and
loving enough to n ad the real gospel i,f
Christ. Truly the wheat and tin- chaff
are winnowed In various ways."
The latter part of the siunoii was de
voted to showing th.- glory and promise.
Wrapped up In this humanity of ours, The
final appeal was In behalf of B true tem
ple, of the living God. which temple shall
be humanity, with the spirit of a true
faith t atlng in the holy of holies human
ity's heart ' Qualify for a master work
man In this bull. ling of the temple .,f hn
i inanity, as II Incarnates the divine, an. I
J It matters not what oiir time rails you,
Infldel. agnostic or Christian you shall
have .loin- well ,,n.l wrought nol.lv as Was
befitting one of the sons of God."
I LIFE'S MOTIVE, GOD'S MOTIVE.
Idea That. Great Purpose Is Acquisi
tion Must Die Out.
At Phillips Congregational church, the
I Rev. P. A Slmpkln. preaching at the
I morning service on the subject Of "Clean
ing." said In part.
"The one divine purpose 'that runs
through history and will not be broken.
' degpllt- all the thwarting forces and
heart-breaking deluvs which are Inherent
I In human worthlcsaneaa nnd sin, ever
l toward one end. Is the saving of man In
his highest and best development.
"The emergence of this purpose with
such clearness ami Strength In the teach
ing and message of Jesus, has given to the
world a comprehension of Its own value
nnd God s wonderful love thai has caused
the development of a marvelously active
and devoted spirit, whleh Is akin to the
purpose of God. and In line with its move
ment. The hand of God is gleaning In the
stubble of the centuries more persistently
than ever In his effort to save men at his
high point. The time we know, and are
carried upon. Is more wonderful In Its
manifestation of this spirit and purpose
than any other that men have known
"The uge Is full of talvatory forces A
thousand hands are reaching for the
worth In man. Briareua Is realized hi il .

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Christian View of Adversity Gives
Hope and Work to Do.
At St. Paul s Episcopal church Bishop
Spalding prsacbed a sermon Sunday eve
ning from St Luke xvll . 1-2: "And he
said unto his disciples. It Is Impossible
but I hat occasions ol stumbling should
come, but woe to him through whom they
coma, it wan! well for him if a mju-
Hlnno were hanged about hi neck and
he were thrown Into the sea. rather than
that he should cause one of these lltilo
on.-s to stumble."
"It Is not possible to take the optimis
tic view of life which men of the eigh
teenth centurv took." said the speaker.
Wo oannot (eel that 'what in. Is right;'
nor that this is the best of all possible
worlds ' Our world Is a larger world
than theirs; the study of nature has re
vealed the HXlStl nee of physical Suffering
as a nece.sur part of evolution ana WO
feel a new niC of responsibility. Nor
do we feel tint wa CSS1 be pet-simlsts and
declare that ths onlj mending Is In the
ending. In our perplexity we ask y for
the view of Jesus, and we find that ho
Heats the question In a divinely unex
pected way 'Yes,' he says, 'there will
always be causes of stumbling, but there
is something so much worse than such
troubles that they seem as nothing, name
ly, to become a cause of stumbling your
self, a worthless, polutlvc thing, fit only
to be thrown Into the sea.'
"The moment this view Is presented tho
moral question enters and with It a sense
of personal responsibility to do the right
thing, a feeling that there must be a
power making for righteousness In thc
world which -trengthens the man In his
struggle to nv. ld moral defeat Then the.
depressing feeling or the meanlnglessnesi
of trouble civ. s nla.-e to a sens" of faith
and tTUSl in God, who knOWS best, and I
exp.ots each man to lo his part bravely.
Hope comes bark not the old hope of
having an easy life, but the new hope of
developing atrODg character and with the
feeling of thi difficulty of the struggle,
amid the trials and temptations of life
there comes a new ambition to remove
the stumbling blocks from the lives of
other men. Thus- the Christian view of
adversity gives hop.- and work to do, and
what earnest man wants more""
JUDGE KING AT TABERNACLE.
Deprecates Tendency to Eliminate
Christ From Religion.
Judge William I r. King was the
speaker at the Tabernacle yesterday. He
spoke of the manner In which the Mor
mons were derided and misunderstood,
and a!d that even as eminent a man as
Henry Ward Beacher had considered Mor
monlsm a revival of heathenism with a
touch Of Hebrewism. Some people say
today that Mormonlsm Is narrow, con
tracted and that it tries to promote the
Isolation of Us believers from other peo
ple. This cannot be true.
"It Is -..ni" ! the;j.- same people. ' e..n-
tlnueil the speaker, who arc saying that
the Church of Christ may have been all
right, but that we have advanced since
that day and therefore should have pome
thing different. Truth never changes, no
matter what progression may take place
Truth is always the same In all ages.
"There are too many Christian minis
ters today who are striving to be dra
matic and spectacular. Peoplo will leave
the pews which they have occupied for
years to attend church where there Is
such a minister They f, rget that true
religion la the same yesterday, today and
forever.
"The Mormon religion believes that I he
religion of Christ has not changed. Mor
monlsm believes that marriage Is n sac
rament, Instead of a civil contract, as It
Is fast becoming In the world. Mormonlsm
believes that there can't be a Christianity
without Christ as the son of the true and
living God.
"Mormonlsm Is simply an appeal to re
instate Christ There are other churches,
such as I'nltarlanlsm, which deny the di
vinity of Christ. They speak of Him as a
good man but not as the actual Son of
God. There are ton many ministers
preaching about science nd other sub
jects nnd hot enough about Christ.
"There Is one thing whleh I admire
about the Catholics, and that Is, that
they k. ep Chrisl and make Him a bails
Of human conduct. In spite of criticism.
The Mormon religion Is an effort lo rein
state Christ In the lives of the people."
CHRIST IN LIFE.
Glory of Civilization the Result of
His Teaching.
"Christ in Life; or Our Debt to Christ,"
was the subject of a sermon delivered
by the Rev. Benjamin Young at tho
First M. IS. church Sunday morning, his
text being; "And John, calling unto him
two disciples, sent them to Jesus-, saying.
'Art thou he that should come'. ,,r look
We for anoth.-r. ' " (Luke 19). .Mr.
Young said. In part:
"Men ask today. Is Jesus the Son of
God? Wo say, look at history, study
human experience. You cannot under
stand civilization In any Intelligible v. use
without reference to Jesus of Nasareth
He glv s harmony to history; In him wt
se.. re lie t..l the purpos- of the Father
To see this reflected In any other ia such
B degree la Impossible. The ages are
best Interpi . te.t throiiL.li J : us Christ, and
eternity has no meaning without him. It
Is fruitless In lo.k for another ther. t
none like him He is Incomparable. In
hlui men may see God He ii the reve
lation or Qod. For proof of this ha points
us to things which are manifest In his
tory and In human experience. Christ's
pn si nee In the world Is revealed In nu
meroua ways. Ills Influence in the world
Is set n on . very hand. Some existing
things In life we have accepted as a mat
ter of course, but their origin can be
tniced to ih.- Christ doctrine.
"Take civilization itself; it Is a peculiar
fabric. There are in it many elements
Which mar Its form; there are in It many
things to be condemned; there are in it
some things that must be eliminated or
It will go to pieces. But the binding
elements of civilization, the things which
constitute Its glory, are In a large mea
sure the results of the teaching of the
loasti i .
"No man can stand In the temple of
nature, with its floor carpeted with green
Us beauty heightened by the color and
perfume of tho flowers. Its roof fretted
with stars, which some one has called
the forget-me-nots ol the angels; Its gal
lerles of mountains eharged with a inu-le
almost divine, without catching In his
soul some thought of God "
SALVATION MISUNDERSTOOD.
Dr. Plnkerton Says It Is Confused
With Forgiveness.
Rev. Thomas W. Plnkerton of the Cen
tral Christian church, chose for his text
yesterday. "Whttl shoU ! do to be saved?"
He said in part:
"Thero are, two words here which 1 wish
Qni5!S,ha,IZ(':.th, ;iro 'do' and 'saved"
Salvation Is misunderstood. We speak of
It as being an acceptance In a few mo
ments I prefer the word 'evolullon.' No
body i In the absolutefjuntll tie-
life is perfected. W f , Vtlvatlon'
with 'forgiveness.' Forgiveness means re
stored to a proper relationship with God
The first thing that needs emphasis is
Jll ' h.' pouI must come in relationship
With God, until Mm w .,,d that sin has
made has been healed.
"The next to be emphasised is the WOrd
do I wish you to note that not what
I must feel nor what opinions I may
have, but what I must "do" Is the notnt
Sin has estranged me from God Whni
must I do to m& back and he restored'

Family Disagreement Results in Al
most n If elo -Drama in
Real Life.
"Can't a man lake a look at Ida own
baby?" was the way James Graham put
the proposition to Patrolman Joo Bush
yesterday afternoon; and Grahnm seemed
to have Miime reason on Ida Sldo, at that
So It came nb.mt that the turmoil created
by a supposed kidnaping on Smith Fourth
West was soon nuleted.
But quiet dlil n-.l come until thn pollco
nnd the Sheriff's office had been called
upon by Marguerite GfAham. Her hus
band had seized her child from the baby
carriage and carried It awa ln-fure her
eyes. She lives about a block north of
him, an.l Mm- r. dd. nce is :,t 2l"J South
ETourtb West, she had the baby out for
an airing
Man Grasped the Child.
Wheeling the perambulator, she passed
Graham's home Mrs. Graham says the
man ran out, grasped the child and ran
Into the h"U-Se with It before lur eyes
A minute or two later Mrs. Graham did
a little rapid-tiro telephoning. Thru sho7
hastened to police headquarters, and then
to the county Jail. She said the baby
had benn taken by force, and then she ex
plained that It was the child's father who
did It
Patrolman Patches Up Peace.
Along about this stage of the game
Patrolman Bush reached the scene of
the tragedy. Now, Bush has been on
the fun for sunn- tlni--, and he has
learned well the art of pacifying per
turbed people. He saw- the futher and
asked what he was" doing Then ho got
the rather staggering question that be
gins this story. Bush at once resorted
to dlpl.im icy with the result that the
baby Is now back with Its mother. Tho
lather said be wanted to visit with the
chlbl and that was nil.
Behind II all is tho old tale of disa
greement. Each claims the other Is at
fault and both say unpleasant things
The baby Is apparently the only uncon
cerned member of the family. It cooed
In Its father's arm? And It gurgbd
when It was back with its mother And
when It saw ihe shine of the patrolman's
brass buttons It stretched out a pair of
fat arms and crowed.

Ancient tory.
He was tall and lank and his walk
for some reason made people think of
sago bruh and pitching bronchos. II.
had the beard which ha:; crown old In
song and story and is generally asso
ciated In the mind of the observer with
walnut shells, peas and glided bi b ks.
And his raiment didn't look at outu
with tho rest of him, either. But In
Spite, Of all these things Night Clerk
R. O. Hogue of the Kenyon never
thought for a moment that the
stranger was going to furnish him with
a new and unique variation of the
"blow out the gas" story. At that
Mr. Hogne has seen many strange peo
ple during his r-.ireer.
And so the stranger got his name on
the register und almost fought a single-handed
combat with the bell boy,
whom he accused of trying to steal his
telescope. Reassured by the clerk, to
whom he had already taken a fan' v.
for Mr. Bogus looks honest, he got Into
the Hi'vat'ir and had that funny feel
ing which comes with the first tide up
lour stories He stood still a mrum-m
after the 1 machine" had stopped, and
then gained the hall outside Its open
iloor with a single bound. They didn't
hear from him until the next morn
ing. It was bright and early when the
man from the Lucern meadows made
his reappearance in the lobby in fact,
It was the hour when the- hurd-handed
t'.irmei geis, up to 1 1 the- stuck and
do the milking. It was plain to the
night clerk, nnvj)n the last lap of his
shift, that habit still had hold of his
gne-st. The eyes of the guest were
bloodshot ami he looked like a man
who has been wrestling with thought.
"Say," he said, as he approached the
desk, and his voice made the glasses In
Mulvey's next door Jingle. "Say. what
sort o' gosh blamed lamps you all got
here anyhow 2" He didn't wait for an
swer, but drew near and told It all.
"I got to bed last night." ho said,
an' I was tired. So I didn't waste no
time, but I starteel right In to blow
the lamp out. I might as well o' saved
my wind, f..r there wan't no use tryln"
to blow. Tho caused thing Jest swang
around on that little string it was tied
onto So I give It up an a bad Job.
"Well, sir, I drawed the covers up an'
tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't I
felt that lamp all the time. An when
ever I opened up an eye there It was
shinln' Into my face. I monkeyed
around with the thing fer an hour or
so an' was Jest about to give It up for
a bad Job when I got mad an1 took
down that string an' put the lamp In
one o' the bureau drawers and shot the
drawer, Well, sir. that did the busi
ness. This mornln' I took a look at It
an' sure enough It had went out."
Hogue says he has heard stbrles of
blowing out the gas until he 8 tired,
but this. In his opinion, discounts therri
all. And what Is more he swears It is
true.
Convalescence.
Convalescence Is sometimes merely
apparent, not real, nnd especially Is this
true- after such diseases as pneumonia,
typhoid fever and the grip. To make It
real and rapid, there Is no other tonic
so highly to be recommended as Hood's
Barsaparilla.
This great medicine cleanses and re
news the blood, strengthens all the or
gans and functions, and restores health

Polygamy Legislation
Still Jroublesome
Committco of Three Cannot Agree on
Proper Penalties for Those Who
Aro Offenders.
Special lo The Tribune.
BOISE, Ida., Jan. 15. The fight for
and against tin- administration anti
polyganiy bill continues to form the
basis for discussion among members
of the Idaho Legislature. The Joint
committee to which the subject was re
ferred by the general Republican cau
CUS has named a subcommittee Of K- p
resentatlve Richards and Senators Nu
gent and Steele, the latter a Mormon
of prominence, to present some sug-g.-stioiis
that will harmonize the ex
isting differences. Even this small
committee has found It impossible to
agree, and It la stated, as coming from
a reliable source-, that It will present
two reports to the caucus
Tin- majority report Will be sent In
by Nugent and Steele and will embrace
n bill following the lines of the admin
istration measure excepting that a
minimum penalty will be tlxed and tho
minimum fine increased to 5WJ.
Representative Richards will present
a bill that will be an amplification of
his Illegal-cohabitation measure re
cently published In The Tribune. It Is
understood he will qualify the bill by a
proviso that Its force shall not apply to
marriages prior to the manifesto of
ls'.m. The provisions of this bill are re
garded as drastic, but Its supporters
point out that It will be none too se
vere to meet conditions In this State
when the exception noteel is made and
thtit If enncted, as It Is proposed to
amend It. tho result will be an elimi
nation of the subject from political
controversy.
The opponents of the administration
bill declare It Is meaningless and that
its enactment would merely constitute
a sop to the Mormons while not reach
ing the vitals of the subject and leav
ing It open to form tho basis of con
tinued disputes. They also declare that
the Mormons, as a whole, do not con
sider the measure too drastic. They
state the Mormon people want the
strongest bill possible enacted, asking
only that the old men of the faith be
not subjected to prosecutions for plural
marriages entered Into prior to the Is
suance of the manifesto. Bishop Budgo
dissents from that view, but the antls
declare that he does not represent the
real Mormon sentiment, being here
ni. n iy as a political emissary to aid In
putting through the administration
measure.
Another measure beating on tho
Mormon question that is under consid
eration and which will probably be in
troduced, will provide for change of
venue on a satisfactory showing by the
complaining w itness If the Dlstrb t
Judge refuses to grant the application
the complainant may appeal elln-e-t to
the Supreme court. Other measures
being discussed contemplate removing
polygamy cases out of the hands of
any Mormon Judge or Prosecuting Attorney.

the telegraph business is more or less
e-rowdi-d with Incidents mentioned In
tho latest oflicial report. This speaks
of monkeys u incorrigible. Many of
them have been r.hot ar.d thousands
frightened, but they cannot get over
the Idea that the wires are merely a new
facility for their athletic performances
In midair. They have ceased to pay
much attention to the locomotive, and
even the shrieks of the whistle are not
permitted to Interfere much with the
fun of swinging on the wire. Three
wires are strung on the same line ,,f
poles for 584 miles between the Indian
ocean and Victoria Nyanza. giving an
opportunity for more complicated per
formances. The Klkuyu forest Is men
tioned as a place where monkeys in
their evolutions, sometimes succeed In
twisting the wires together.
The gentle giraffe Is also n source of
annoyance He sometimes applies
enough muscular energy to the bracket
on which tho wire Is fastened to twist
t around, stretching the wire and caus
ing It to foul with other wires The
hippopotamus Is also a nuisance be
cause he rubs up against the poles and
sometimes knocks them over.
These creatures, however, do not
steal the wire. Thievery was th great -evil
with which tht telegraph build
ers had to contend, and the evil has
only recently been suppressed When
tho copper wire was stretched north
east from Victoria Nyanza through the
Neoga country, the natives cut out con
siderable lengths of It; and at one time
about forty miles of wire were carried
away and never recoveted. Passlns
caravans found nlao that they could
help themselves along the way by cut
ting the wire and using it In the bar
ter trade. The temptation was great
and not always resisted, for wire would
buy anything the natives had to soil A
great deal of energy was expended in
stamping out wire stealing and It now
