THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
Subject of the Right Rev. Bishop Mont
gomery's Sermon
Addresses by Rev. J. S. Thomson. Rev. Burt
Estes Howard. Prof. Bowman. Dr. J. A,
B. Wilson and Others-Notes
Bishop Montgomery delivered a sermon
at the cathedral yesterday evening upon
the subject of the holy saripiure, from
tbe text, "Heaven and earth shall pass
awav.butmy words shall not pass away."
-Luke, xxi, S3. He said in part:
"There are three classes of opponents
of holy scripture, who are very diseir.i
lar, both in their methods and in their
motives. There is tho shallow, seotling
infidel; there is the educated and cul
tured unbeliever, and there is tho consci
entious but roisgui'icd advocate of the
private interpretation of God's word. Of
the first we have a conspicuous example
in our own country, whose name 1 shall
not mention in this pulpit, but whom
everybody knows. He had his prototype
in Voltaire, but ne has not Voltaire's
learning. It is no honor to this country
to have given bim oirth. and it dots still
less honor to our intelligence, our educa
tion and our sense of tbe respect due to
the opinions of others that he can speak
to crowded houses throughout this Und.
He and sucb as ho, are tne worst ene
mies of our country and its institutions,
for they are iounded upon religion,
which he scorns and scoffs at.
"The intelligent and educated unbe
liever does not stoop to ridicule and buff
oonery, and whilst we feci that he, too.
does irreparable harm to faith in God
and religion and helps lo undermine tho
very foundations of society, still, for his
grave and considerate manner, the Chris
tian accords him a certain respect.
"Finally, the conscientious and sincere
advocate of private interpretation of
God's word, a principle that is not ad
mitted even for a municipal ordinance
by a boaid of county supervisors or city
council. He, too, unintentiona'ly, of
course, but most surely, is undermining
the divine character of holy scripture
and furnishing weapons lo Ilie professed
opponents of God's word: and lor him
we can have only a profound sympathy,
and pray to God to show him the harm
he i'» doing.
"These we shall consider in order. The
text chosen, 'Heaven and earth shall
oass away, but my word shall not pass
away,' not only furnishes the theme for
tbe series, but supplies Hie undying con- I
fidence in the Christian heart that noth
ing shall ever be able 10 overthrow the
religion of Christ or thwart tbe overrul
ing providence of God. No other muim
menl on earth is comparable to tbe holy
scripture. If it bad been a human pro
duction it would have long since been
lorgotten. Every species of antagonist
possible to imagine has risen up against
it', and yet it fills the earth. Nothing
else has served as a text for so many
commentaries, some in love, some in
simple admiration, some in solemn hate.
The holy scripture and the literature
tbat has grown out of it makeup half
the libraries ot the world. Here we
might aptly apply the words of the
learned Gamaliel to his follow-doctors of
the sanhedrim, touching the teachings of
tbe apostles: 'If this counsel be of man
it will come to nought; but if it be ot
God you cannot overthrow it.'
"The attempt to overthrow that coun
sel bas been made in every conceivable
fashion, bot still it survives as the sol
ace and hope ol tho world. Heaven and
jarth shall pass away, but my word shall
not pass away.' The very attempts to
overthrow it do but root it all the more
firmly in its place, just as toe attempt lo
falsify the prediction of Christ that he
would rise Irom the dead served only to :
put tbe resurrection beyond reasonable j
doubt. The word of God shall not pass j
away, because it is not only true, but it ,
is truth; and ttutb is eternal. Christ
does not say that men will not reject His I
word; men reject many truths, but their
rejection of truth affects not tbc truth
itself, bat those who leject it. Tbis
thought should furnish matter for the
proud unoeliever to ponder upon. When
Christ teaches a moral law He simply
teaches a truth existing in God and in
nature. And when Mr. Spencer teaches
that the moral law is nothing in itself,
that it is simply a conventional thing, a
thing tbat may"vary according n- men's
ideas vary, he undermines, not only reli
gion as far as in him lies, but he under
mines as well the foundation of tbe so
cial order itself. In such a principle
there is neither right nor wrong, neither
vioe nor virtue; and the la.r tbat pun
lshea so-called crime is tyranny, lor there
can be no such tbing as crime in me log
ical construction of tne Spenserian gos
pel. This very fact will ultimately re
dound to the good of God's word, for we
may always depend upon society s seek
ing its own fundamental good. It some
times suffers an aberration of mind on
tbe subject, but has to come back to first
principles and restore tbe religious prin
ciple. 1 do not mean by this inherent
life in the holy scripture that we can
afford to be indifferent to the evils ol
infidelity. There ia not in tbe range of
parental"duty a more pre-sing burden
tban the neces-ity of shielding the young
fromjthe mlidel literature and;<lie infidel
lecture: .mil no gruuter benefit can be
conferred upon society tban to furnish
antidotes to its subtile and insidious
poison. Mind and heart mast be
strengthened, and a taste must !>u culti
vated for the true and pure literature.
Wben the master of the tield slept an
enemy came anil oversowed ihe held with
cockle. The Christian must be sleepless
and untiring in bis watobfulness over
the great truths vouchsafed him by Al
mighty God.''
Unity Church
The Metropolis of the Universe was the
subject of the sermon by the pastor of
Unity ohurch, J. 8. Thomson, yesterday
morning, taking for tbe text the words,
"The city of the living (iod,the Heavenly
Jerusalem.'--Hebrews, 1-:-"-.-'. In part the
gentleman said:
While ne believe that (iod is in every
world, in every point ol space and in ev
ery atom of matter, yes it is both reason
able and scriptural to believe that he is
mure in the higbe-t heaven tlinn he is
upon our earth, where his will is not
done as it is in heaven. 'J he only attrib
utes of God thst we can conceive ot in
tbe ethereal ocean through which tbe
worlds roll are his power and wisdom.
There is more of Goo i.i the atmosphere
than in the ether, in the cultivated farm
tban in the Sahara, in the city than in
the country, in the glorious place Horn
which Christ came than in Jerusalem, in
the highest heaven than in a grain of
eand. There is mure ot God in a cburch,
tilled with spiiitual worshippers, tban in
the same churcu at midnight, when it is
empty. Every nation bus its capital.
London is now tbe metropolis of the
earth in population, hnanue, commerce,
refinement and civilization. Every star
may have us caiital city. '1 be heaven
of heavens, where God lives in all bis
power and glory, bas its "Heavenly Je
rusalem." This city is described in tho
symbolism ot the ancient mysteries in the
last two chapters ot the Book ol lievela
tion. Paul telle tbo Galatia.ua about "Je
rusalem which is above, is flee, which
Is tbe;mother of 113 all." "Here have we
aasonti"uibg city, but we still have one
to cotes," says tbe Epistle to the He
biews.and in tne iaroe epistle it ii written,
"God hath prepared for them a city." So
from analogy and from the New Testa
merit we have grounds sufficient for be
lieving ihat tbe physical universe! bas a
metropolis.
Sotie questions regarding prayer can
be answered along this line of thought
and belief. We learn in the gospels tbat
Christ prayed to God aa if God were
present about Him t nd in Him. and that
He. about coining from God
and going back to God. God is outside
the spirit of man as well as inside it.
He is outside the earth and the physical
unievrse as well as inside tbem. A
bird breathes the air and is in tbe air.
when it is on the ground: but, Wben it
wants to Hy, it Uses its whips to risu in
tbc same air. A man lives and moves
i and ha- his beine in God wben he sleeps,
i or works, or walks: but in bis prayers he
rises in the tame (iod. ns tbe man who
I climbs ,t tower rises in the air. When a
I lather puis Ins arms around Ins child the
'child may be said to bo in Ins lather:
and vet the child,talks to the lather who
is all around it. The child may put its
arms around t in father's neck, and then
the father may lis -aid to be in the child
snd still tbo cbtld can talk to the lather.
So a human spurt can pray to (iod.
whether it is conscious that Hod is
around it or in it. And » child, although
it knows that its mother lives in ber feet
and anus, yet it locates the headquarters
of its mother's life In her bent, and it
creeps up to her face and prays to her.
looking into her eyes. We know that God
is in these hills about us. In the -billing
stars, in Hie trees and grasses, In every
atom In this church, in our bodies and
bruins. Yet, when we pray, we look
toward "the city of the living; <lod."as
ibe .lews pray with their faces toward
.Irusnluni. and the Mohammedans with
their faces toward Mecca. AYe naturally
sar "glory to God in the highest. " and
turn our 'faces toward the place where
His honor dwelleth.where His power and
giorv manifest themselves in their fullest
light. I he child's instincts teach it that
Ibe capital of its mothers life is in her
head: and. through our spiritual in
stincts, wo feel in our prayers toward tne
metropolis of Ood'a infinite life; ' the
heavenly Jerusalem." All the forces of
the earth are in the tree, and yet tbe
tree stretches out its branches into the
air. seeking for more power and life from
the source of its existence. We stretch
our hands and souls out toward the head
quarters ol God, whence we came,
although Uod I'.ves, moves, and has His
being.' in us.
There is a spiritual nerve in our souls,
connecting ns with the mind and heart
of'iod. and along this nerve track our
prayers reach the holy of holies in the
highest heaven, and the messages of His
love come hack along it to our lives,
making it* feel Ills divine presence, and
then we say that God comes to us, al
though He is i i ns. When we sin, and
sum our souls against His messages, pre
venting the thrill oi His love from start
ing spiritual pulsations in our hearts, we
soy God has left us. although He is still
in ami auout us. When we have a sense
of God's spiritual presence, we interpret
the sensation by saying He uas coma to
us: but when this sense is lost in unbe
lief or doubt or passion, we feel that His
presence has forsaken us.
The city described in Revelation is a
city that "ia niscagid on civil service prin
ciples. No boodler, no unclean person,
no favoritism, no liar, can enter its beau
tiful gates. "My reward is witb me to
give to every man according to his
works." The innocent, unselfish, ,'elf
sacrilii ing souls bave their names in the
Lamb's book of life. If we follow Christ
we shall be prepared to enter in through
the gates into "the city of the living
God." "the ht-avenly Jerusalem," "the
mother of us all."
Church of the New Era
At the Chorcb of the New Kra yester
day Professor Bowman took for his topic:
Some New lira Thoaghts on Thanksgiv
ing, He said that, since passing from
the old to the new way of thinking, he
had often questioned whether liberal
organizations like the Church of the New
Kra sbould take any formal notice of
many of our holiday customs, which have
connected with them so much error and
superstition, lint believing the true way
of reform is not by destroying and aban
doning the old. but by eliminating its
errors and putting truth in tbeir stead.
He thought the proper tbi.ig was to uti
lize alt tbe old customs as o'-asions for
educating the people out of errors into
trutn.
"Our Thanksgiving custom." said tbe
speaker, "is based on the common as
sumption of theology that all events,
great and small,are in some way to be at
tributed to the persona: agency of a per
sonal God, a.d to be interpreter! and
treatetl as a divine providence. If this
divine providence brings good fortune
we are to render praise and thanksgiving.
If it brings bad fortune we must ap
proach its author witb fasting and prayer.
So the world's calendar is full of theolo
gical feast days and fast days.
"While we cannot say tbat these pious
customs bave not serve." a good purpose
under the past regime of error and super
stition, and while we have no word ot
condemnation for the kindly deeds of
Thanksgiving day done in the false name
of 'charity' to the numerous 'paupers'
with which our false millionaire and
pauper system has Idled the world, we
do protest against this business of dragg
ing tied and His special providence into
the domain of politics and mixing them
up with the deviltries "f the political
sobsmeri and shylocks who aro robbing
and plundering the world. For this rea
son I am frank to say that I regard Mr.
Cleveland's Thanksgiving proclamation
ami al! others like it not only as a super
stition belonging to the dark but as
downright political hypocrisy and a
solemn mockery ot the miseries of the
millions of men, women anil children
wbo have been beggared and despoiled by
the plutocratic despotism for which Mr.
Cleveland stands.
J' I lie supreme ruler of tbe universe eov
erns the world by general laws, ami not
by specific In 1 lie affairs of
men tilings 20 well or ill. not by any
special providence of God, but according
to the right or wrong use of the free
moral agency of man. which is one of
the general laws of God. 'Ihe Supreme
Being lias no more to do personally with
Grovcr Cleveland's snbssrviehcy to the
money power ihan with bis lishing tackle
at linzaard's bay. It is well to tevere in
God the nature which expresses itself in
the vise and benevolent system of een
eral laws manifest in all nature, but let
us not dishonor God by a spurious piety
which whiningly submits to the wrongs
of men under the idea th it they came by
the "'permissive providence of God."'
God permits wrong in no sense, any more
than the framers of our constitution bave
permitted its purposes to he ignored by
the gold-worshipers of today who are
trampling ii under foot.
"The spirit ot this Thanksgiving busi
ness is also utterly unworthy of tho pres
ent age. It is narrow, aeiiisb. clannish,
based on comparison of ourselves with
others. We thank God because we are
not 'iiineas bad off as others. I am
nma:ed to read slull like this in the very
editorials of our city dailies. It is but
natcral to feci giad when tbe shadows of
sorrow and misery are not upon us or our
neighbors. But tor God s sake let us not
dishonor Him and snow ourselves bar
barians by attributing the differences be
tween ourselves and others to the divine
providence of Him who is 'no respecter
01 persons.' This kind of thanksgiving
would do for 1 lie times when God was
only tho god ol a clan and heaven a place
lo drink beer from the skulls of our ene
mies. Hut it will not do lor a New Ere
thanksgiving."
First Presbyterian Church
Tho pulpit of ihe l irst Presbyterian
church was occupied yesterday morning
by the Rev. lames M. Thompson of flak
laud, editor of the Occident, which is tbe
leading Presbyterian paper of tbe coast.
Mr, Thompson spoke Irom John xvi. :
lU-W, His sermon was a discussion of

•
the personality and work of the Holy
Spirit, and was characterized by a beauti
ful interpretation of the scripture in its
references to the Lord.
In the evening tbc pastor.Rev. Burt Es
tes Howard, spoke from tbe text,
"Blessed arc tbe meek, tor they ahall
inherit the cartb." — Matt. v-l. "Who
are the meek?" began the speaker.
"There are many s'range notions concern
ing the word many partial and false
idea*. Tbey have taken the backbone
out of it. aiid made it a wabbly, pulpy,
unmanly and undesirable quality. Be
cause \va nave reud the meaning
into the word thai not belong lo it,
we have been slow to ajepet tbe philos
ophy that it teaches. We are not ready
to believe that meekness is any guaran
tee to real estate. We havo more confi
dence in Krnpp guns In acquiring ter
ritory than in meekness. Meekness is
synonymous in our common thought
with Weakness. There is nothing trorn
which it is further separated. It is Inv
possllbe fur a weak character to be meek.
Meekness has. and must have for one of
is aecpnTpaOiment*, a temper which is
not easily provoked. This sign of meek
ness, which may also be tho sign of weak
ness,bas been mistaken for the quality it
self. Luck of ssMliblity, cowardice,
moral deadneas that has lost the capacity
of intlignaiton, may show apparent pa
tience tinner outrage. A jellyfish it
serene and usually innocuous.
"Meekness is Will, strength ot will,
controlled by a profound belief in God
end an unselfish purpose to servo men.
Meekness is also self-repression. It is
-elf-coutiol. It is loving, if is gentle.
It is easy to bo cnticatctl. It is kind.
"Meekness does not tolerate self-asser
tion. On the eide of self it has an open
hand. It will let go of all but God and
principle."
TheosophUal Society
At the meeting held lul night by tlia
fheosopblcal society in Odd Fallows'
hall, A. B. Gibson lectured upon Rein
carnation to a large and attoutivc audi
ence. Ho said, in part: "Reincarna
tion is that grand restorativo process in
natural evolution through which evolv
ing entities get their strength and energy
replenished. Reincarnation Is tae out
come of tlie divine rnonau assuming
form, For all form necessitates change,
caused by the constant friction with sur
roundig elements. Such friction natural
ly resutls in a wear and tear, which tbe
material or, owing *o its coarseness of
substance, can resist only for a limited
time,as the durability of a form is deter
mined by the SUbttlity or refinement of
its substances. Everything valuable and
meritorious gathered during the past
eartnly life, every grain of wisdom ex
tracted by the di»ine lichenV of bard
won mental and moral victories, every
drop of truth distilled from the vortex
of sentient life, are appropriated by the
thinker, the individuality or manas, In
conjunction with Atma-Buddbi. The
glimpse of eternal truth arrived at
through the activity of this principle,
the "thinker," during sn incarnation,
constitute In tbeir totality self-knowledge
proper. Charged with the results of tbc
sifting and analyzing process in Kama
l.oca. the thinker Hosts into Devschane,
to enter a condition of rest and felicity,
corresponding—though oa an infinitely
exalted scale—to the nature of physical
sleep with its accompaniment of rosy
dreams. In Devachan the thinker, freed
front tiie herculean task of eubduing the
convulsive efforts of an enraged animal
nature, carries out the ideas and aspira
tions engendered during eaitii-life. The
grandest Mights of genius and imagina
tion receive in Devachan a perfect free
dom of movement."
With the Spiritualists
Spirituality was the appropriate subject
treated by X. F, Ilavlin at tbe Los An
geles theater yesterday aftenroon. the
speaker holding that the cultivation of
the spiritual nature is of much more con
sequence than a knowledge of the pbe
noena or even the philosophy of spirit
ualism. Tbe tests given by Dr. Scblcsin
ger to bkentics were all acknowleiged as
correct, and come of them admitted to
be extraordinary. In tbe evening there
was a large audience, ihe music was
particularly tine, especially tbe contralto
solo by the noted vocalist, Mrs. Emma
Sherwood. A new featnrc was an improved
song said to be given under control by
a young woman, the subject being sug
gested oy a person in ihe audience.
Mr. Bavlin's disconrsso was based on
tbe text: 'Whatsoever a man sowctii that
also shall he reap." It was an argumer.t
against the dclrine of forgiveness of sin,
and atonomet through Christ. It was
brief, but forcible, and appeared to meet
tho approval of the audience, in it the
speaber alluded to the evil effects of per
nicious literature and various other
means by which the young ure led astray
from the path of rectitude. In conclus
ion he said : "If we live right we will
die right, and it we aie rit,bt we will be
gin life on ho other side; but if we do
not so live that we can start right there
it may taka years, perhaps ages, to re
cover from tiie effects of evil seed sown
nere. God forbid," he added, "that you
sow here In anger, in bate, in malice, In
lust, or in anything evil, for no Christ
will stand between you and the harvest
you must inevitably reap."
Y. .1. C. A. Meeting
Dr. J. A. ii. Wilson, pastor of the First
M. E. cburch, addressed an interested
audience of young men at the Young
Men's Christian association yesterday
afternoon. He took for his text: "Go
out into the highways and hedges and
compel them to come in." In part he
said : "The church is not a club for the
social life of men. nor a hospital for
Christians whose spiriual life is weak,
although it may bave both these func
tions to perform*. Neither is the church
a cemetery for the burial of all zeal and
emotion, nor a refrigerator to chill the
warmth of love for Hod and man. If you
arc in aueli v church turn it into a fur
nace or get out. The business of the
church and of all Christian organizations
is to save men.
"The unsaved were not commissioned
to search out the church, but the church
was commissioned to seek out the un
saved. There should be an adaptability
in seeking the lost. It is a serious thing
for the church to leave bjsiness centers.
A place that is good to catch the trade of
men is usually good to catch them tor the
purpose of saving their souls. The great
humility of Christ sbould lead men to
give up themselves and tbeir petty likes
and dislikes tv sreed on the message of
salvation.'
The address was full of eloqueut pas
sages and left a profound impression.
Latter Day Saints
Klder K. M, Whiteside*, of the Oburch
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
spoke on the subject. Apostacy From
the E'rimiitvs Church, at Foresters ball,
245 S. Spring st. "The position of the
1 alter Day Saints pre auDposes an apos
tacy," said the speaker, "and we are
abundantly borne out by ecclesistical
bistory. and prophesies taken from tbc
Old and New Tesiainents. The outward
ordinances |ii the gos c have been
changed to suit the whims of men, until
now they resemble the scripture of tbe
days of Christ only in name. Pagan
persecution and a desire for place and
power on the part of officers wore instru
mental in bringing about the result. In
Cunstantlne'l time Christianity and
paganism compromised and Christianity
got the name a_d possibly v trace oT aoc

At the morning service of the Cumber

The War Against tbe Superin*
tendent of Parks
REACHING A CRUCIAL TEST
Mescrrc and C. P. Dandy Have an
Interesting Session
The Former Accuses the Secretary of the
Board of Education of ".lobbing" - Car
rytng the War to Africa
Tbe old war between tl>« so peri nlend ■
ent of parks ttld the American I'rniective
assoiiaiion is ajain on harder than ever.
Committees udou ways and m»ans have
been formally appointed by the associa
tion to attempt to bring about Superin
tendent Meserve's removal. The latttt
insists that ho intends neither to join tho
order nor to permit it to control his ap
pointments, both of which conclusions
have always been insisted upon as the
only terms upon wbioh pesos could bo
secured. Tho fact is that both sides to
the contovcrsy have now determined that
it shall be war to the Knife until one tr
tbe other succumbs.
Mesetve was informed a few days ago
tbat Secretary C. P. Handy of the board
of education, was assisting in the work
of bringing about hia downfall. Yesterday
the superintendent of parks hunted up
Handy in l>>c latter's oflice and the two
officials had a merry session between
them. Dandy denied that he was doing
anything to "do" up the park superin
tendent, but that be had suggested to the
reporter for a morning paper that Mes
erva's brother ought to "be burned up,"
because he was ruining the reputation
of some of tne parks by having it pub
lished that some of those who frequent
them aro at times guilty of lewd acts
witbin the city'a pleasure grounds.
Superintendent Meservc now has taken
the bit between his own teeth and is pre
paring to carry the war into the enemy's
camp. He has summarily dropped from
the park rolls some ten employes, pre
sumably for "cause." When the names
of the men discharged are suhniitte 1 to the
park commissioners for appruval of the
superintendent's action, Which is to be
done at a special meeting of the hoard to
bo held one day during the present
week, It will probably be found that
nearly every man dropped nas had sonic
connnection with the attempts being
made upon tbe official life of Superintend
ent Mesetve.
Meserve is very strong with the beard
of pam commissioners, each one of
whom believes him to be one of the best
park masters tbe city has ever had. So
far every member of the board lias stood
by the superintendent and the final test
of strength in the matter will, it is ex
pected, develop wnen *tie Meserve black
