'Washington time (7 p. m. St. Paul time).
A Washington dispatch announces
that the secretary of agriculture is
preparing a call for bids for furnishing
the usual (juantity of seeds for garden
sass, to he sent out by our statesmen
to their bucolic constituents as re- ■
minders that, however elevated their
position, they have not forgotten their
humble friends in the rural districts.
The secretary will be free from one
complication that beset him last year.
Mr. Haniia is not now a candidate for
1 --flection to the senate, and it will
not "mean much to me" if some other
than that Toledo seed house is award
ed the contract this year.
So Aimer McKlnley, Brother McKin-
Ipy, is in Cuba, is he? There being
nothing more 1 to t>e made out of war
contracts, Abner is going down to the
Pearl to see what rich pickings there
may lie there Cor a man who stands
close to "the administration. "If you
will permit me to hold the same rela
tions to you that Alexander Butler did
to Ben," wrote one of the Civil war'
patriots to Gen. Banks, after he sup
planted Butler, "I will guarantee you
an Independent fortune in six months."
Between Rusk Alger and Brother Ab
ner this administration stands a mighty
fine chance of getting smirched.
One Sanguilly, a Havana dispa'teh
states, one of the so-callod Cuban
assembly, or congress, or legislature, or
hoonta, or whatever the band of fel
lows thrown out of the freedom busi
ness may be called, was one of the vo- !
ciferous members who demanded the
expulsion of old Gomez. Sanguilly?
Tlu- name has a familiar ring. Wasn't |
he the fellow who was imprisoned by I
Weyler and released and permitted to
come to this country on the interces- !
Mon of tliis government and on its and
his pledge that he would keep out of
Cuba, and who broke his word and
sneaked hark at his first opportunity?
He was and is styled "General," but
neither bis title nor his valor ever car
ried him where Mausers were mousing
for patriots.
ECONOMICAL, 1\ SPOTS.
This session of tho legislature is pur
suing the penny wise, pound foolish
course of Its predecessors. It is lavish
ms a rule, with economy in spots. It is
lopping off a few little jobs and letting
big <>nes go through. It is spending
money where it will do no public good
and refusing it where spending would
1 f real value. It will undoubtedly,
unless a gubernatorial veto is interpos
ed, invest a few more hundred thou
sands in insane asylums, while its com
mittee on appropriations, the other
day, denied a small increase in an ap
propriation that would enable one de
railment of the state to perform du
ties laid upon it. but not heretofore
performed adequately because of insuf
ficient means, duties which, if per
f« rmed, would tend to diminish the
insanity that is now outpacing popula
tion in the rate of increase.
We refer to the refusal of the com
mittee to recommend the increase of
the appropriation for the food and
dairy commission from $G,OOO to $5 000
this year and $7,000 thereafter, to' be
used in the inspection of foods and the
prevention of adulterations, injurious
to health, which are now practiced in
almost all lines of food preparations.
Aside from vinegar, baking powder |
and one or two other articles, the ford
branch of the commission has be?n
and will be unable to enforce the laws
simply because there h\s not been a
sufficient amount of money at Us com
mand to employ experts or inspectors.
And still this legislature appropriated
nearly $20,000 to be raid to a firm that
claimed to have produced a couple of j
jmillion pounds of beet sugar. Society
! 'owes to its members no more impor- 1
duty than to provide that its food ]
•shall not be made unhealthful by adul- !
teration with substances deleterious to j
health. So great has been the advance '
in food preparations, so resourceful j
have been the chemists in discovering
new food products or preparations of
them, and so fierce has been the com
petition, that there is hardly an article
of human food that now escapes the
arts of the- chemist and the unscrupu
lous manufacturer. It has become ut
terly impossible for any one, outside
the laboratory of the chemist, to de
tect these adulterations, 30 dexterously
are they made up.
Surely, if society owes to its mem
bers the duty of either preventing the
making and sale of compounds that
affect health injuriously, or requiring
other compounds, not unhealthful, to
be sold for what they are, then there
should be no parsimony that would
defeat the duty by preventing Its per
formance. Not only is the bodily
hi alth injured by the use of these adul
terations, but, so dependent is mental
upon bodily condition, insanity may be
a result of their use as well as bodily
disease and death. So important does
at least one institution for the cure of
the insane deem this matter of pure,
good, nourishing food that as much
attention is given to its supply as to
any other branch of therapeutics.
It was stated, with what authority
we cannot affirm, that the reason given
for refusing to the present commission
the increase of money for the execu
tion of the pure food laws was that
the state administration should not,
in any department controlled by it,
have any increase of funds at its dis- |
posal. It was even said that any in
crease would be used to build up a
machine for work In the next cam
paign. Possibly these gentlemen, if
Correctly reported, measured this ad
ministration by what they knew of the
methods of its predecessors, but it is 1
hardly credible that men would thus I
trifle with so serious a matter and
subordinate public health to partisan
considerations.
Ql AY SI'AKItI.VG FOR TIME.
The Quay Republicans in the Perm- I
sylvania legislature are .pulling hard '
against the stream. There are, however,
indications that a new plan of campaign
baa been mapped out. The aggressive j
is to be abandoned, and from now until 1
adjournment, March 19, all efforts will |
be directed by Mr. Quay's supporters !
to prevent the election of any other j
candidate. Quay still lacks seventeen i
votes, and, under existing conditions,
there appears no way of securing the
necessary majority on Joint ballot to j
enable the senator to retain his seat. \
It is currently reported that Quay will j
be satisfied to trust his chances to the
next legislature. As the Pennsylvania I
sessions are biennial, this will not con- I
vene until 1901. But the election of I
its members will occur during a presi- j
dential year, and it is reasoned by the I
Quay men that a sufficient number of I
"straight out" machine Republicans |
will be elected then to insure his return \
to the senate.
Meanwhile the great state of Penn
sylvania will be compelled to get along
with but one representative in the
United States senate. If Quay cannot
be "it," he will not play himself nor
allow any other one to do so. It is
true that Senator Penrose, who will j
hold over, will have the dispensation !
of a double amount of federal patron- j
age, but as he owes his election to '
Senator Quay, it is shrewdly reasoned I
that he will not prove ungrateful, but
will permit Mr. Quay to shape a por
tion of this patronage for ultimate
good of himself, it is manifest that j
such a programme is satisfactory to
the erstwhile Pennsylvania boss from |
the fact that he has gone off on a ten i
days' fishing excursion on the tarpon
banks. Should this scheme eventuate
Quay can go back to the senate in 1901, j
from which it will be difficult to dis- I
lodge him, and from this vantage !
ground teach his present opponents a i
political lesson that they will not soon i
forget.
If Quay is to be beaten, it looks very !
much as though it could only be ac
complished now, at the present session, |
and that, too, by the election of an
other man. A failure to elect any one
would be hailed as a partial victory j
by the Quay contingent.
THEY SEE VISIONS.
In the absence of official intelligence,
confirmed and authenticated by state I
departments, it is natural that our peo- j
pie should attach significance to the j
actions of foreign powers. When the '
German fleet sailed away from Manila !
it was at once proclaimed that the j
tension hitherto existing between the !
United States and Germany was bro-« j
ken, and that most cordial relations |
were to be immediately resumed. Pos- i
sil.ly this is true. Yet more pessimistic I
journals have gone so far as to sug
gest that the fleet was ordered away j
for the express purpose of holding thig j
government financially responsible for
all damage inflicted to German life and
property at Manila. In the absence of
any official utterances at Washington
the people are left to take their choice
of these two comflicting theories.
But a day or two since Emperor Wil- |
liam sent to Mrs. Rudyard Kipling a ■
message expressing a wish for her hus- j
band's speedy recovery, and alluding j
to his world-wide fame as a singer and !
writer in the highest terms. At once i
the press of this country and Europe !
attach to this friendly message a deep j
political significance. Kipling Is an ■
Englishman, and, of course, "it's great- '
ly to his credit," considered from the ;
English point of view. Therefore, of i
course, voice those editors who note
significance in every uttered word j
from loyalty, the German emperor has j
expressed "a sentiment which might !
not wisely have been formally express- I
ed through diplomatic channels." It is '
thought that this message was a direct
overture for better relations between
Germany and England.
Correct or not. the surmise dr>es not
reflect credit on the humanitarian in
stincts of the kaiser. It would be sim
ple justice to him to accord a higher
feeling than one based on mere political
intrigue. An emperor is but a man — a j
human being. Rudyard Kipling has
written for the whole world, and the
whole world reads him. He is an in
ternational author, as much as Shake- ]
speare, and it woul§ be no awe-inspir- j
ing honor to him to be congratulated :
on his recovery by every crowned head
in Europe. Our people and the press ,
of all nations are too hasty in jumping i
at conclusions. They see too many
visions. They are prone to dark im
aginings.
The city hall clock can break records i
too. It marked 7:45 early Saturday j
evening and kept it up until Monday I
n.orning. But nobody expects much of
anybody or anything at the city hall.
The "post-visual reflector," with
which one can see behind him, isn't I
such a tremendous gain after all. Not
hindsight, but foresight, is what most !
people need.
American gold is at a discount in !
Uruguay. That is a plain case of 1

EPISTLES JTO_ST. PAUL.
The war with Spain, uniting as it has in
the military service of the United States men
who fought against each other thirty-five
years ago in the Civil war, has brought to
light some curious incidents. For Instance,
it may not be generally known that Col. Wll
lard Glazier, of New York, who was recently
elected commander-ln-chlef of the Blue and
Gray Legion, a new military older now
forming in the North, was once captured 'by
Fitzhugh Lee In Virginia, and after an in
carceration of fourteen months in various
Southern prisons escaped and was recaptured
by Fighting Joe Wheeler in Georgia. Having
buried the hatchet mauy years ago in com
mon with nearly a!l veterans of the Rebel
lion, Col. Glazier caKed to see Gen. Wheeler
in Washington the other day on his way to
the West Indies, and was very cordially greet
ed by Gen!" Lee in Havana during the recent
Gomez banquet.
Among the headlong fighters in the Con
federate cavalry from 1861 to 1865 was Gen.
Thomas L. Rosser, who, with Stuart, Lea
and Hampton, was in. almost daily conflict
with the Union cavalry, In which Glazier saw
service under Custer, Kilpatrick and Pleason
ton. Now Gen. Rosser and Col. Glazier sit
opposite each other at table in Havana and
are often seen discussing incidents of raids
and battles in which they had a mutual in
terest.

"Yes, quite pretty," said the visitor.
"Not good at all," continued the disgusted
Solon. "Look at this, result of trying to open

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL
METROPOLITAN.
Frank Pantels, one of the funniest operatic
comedians on the American stage, with his
big opera company, will begin an engagement
of one week at the Metropolitan opera house
tonight. For the opening performance he will
present, for the first time in this city, his
latest comic opera success, "The Idol's Eye,"
by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith. In
this opera Danie'.s appears as "Abel Conn,"
an aeronaut, and makes his first entrance in
a balloon. In regard to musical, scenic and
comedy effects it is said to be the best medium
the popular comedian has found to amuse
the public. Mr. Daniels is supported by a
splendid operatic organization, including such
well known names as Helen Redmond, Norma
Kopp, Kate Uart, Alf C. Wheelan, Will Dan
forth and John B. Park. The chorus is claimed
to be the finest carried by any comic opera
company in the country, and is one of the
strongest features of the productions of this
organization. "The Idol's Eye" will be pre
sented Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Saturday matinee; Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings Mr. Daniels
will present "The Wizard of the Nile," his
great success of last season.
The sale of seats for Daniel Frohman'a
"The Prisoner of Zenda," which will be the
attraction at the Metropolitan next week,
opens Thursday morning.
GRAND.
Besides ths big "Black Beauty Show,"
which Cole & Johnson will present this sea
son, with "The Trip to Coontown," these up
to-date managers have secured a number of
the high-salaried and most prominent specialty
performers In the colored ranks. Among
them are Lloyd G. Gibbs, who ranks as the
greatest living black tenor; Julia Roan, the
California soprano; Tom Brown, the charac
ter change artist and vocalist; the Freeman
sisters, contortionists and dancing specialists,
and a number of others whose names are not
quite so familiar to the public, but are equally
satisfactory in the work they are called upon
to do.
DELIRIUM OF PNEUMONIA.
Seeing: Hob^oblina, Palling Moun
tain* and Fifteen Puzzles.
(Written for The Globe.)
Physicians mn tell you all about If. They
know just what is the cause and the resultant
effect. But the man whose brain has battled
with the illusions that accompany the disease
from which Rudyard Kipling is Just now re
covering is the better authority on various
stages of the peculiar hallucinations that" rack
the mind and sap the vitality of the victim.
Fever— an unquenchable thirst— wasting of
the tissues— sleeplessness— and then the hob
goblins and falling mountains and fifteen
puzzles that terminate, in the majority of
cases, in death.
For six days— and nights included— l sought
to solve a puzzle that robbed me of sleep. I
seemed to realize that my life depended upon
the correct solution of the problem, and in
my delirium I knew that there was but \
one method of accomplishment. I worked ;
faithfully. On the eve of solving the enigma
something would occur to upset all I had ac
complished, and I was compelled to go back to
the beginning. My reward was to be sleep.
I imagined that when my task was completed
I could sleep without "seeing things" and
having to dodge falling mountains.
The cunning of the maniac would assert it
self at times, and I would cautiously close
my eyes to steal that for which I was labor
ing—a few minutes' sleep. But the inexorable
delirium would say nay. So soon as my
eyes were closed fantastic shapes and falling
boulders warnr-d me that I must resume my
"fifteen-puzzle." For hours I held my heavy
eyelids apart with . wearied, weakened fin
gers. In order to escape the horrifying vi
sions of my delirium. And all this time I
was working industriously to solve the puzzle
that was to give me the longed-for reward
sleep.
On the ninth night of my illness the cur
tains were closely drawn. Visitors were ex
cluded. The nurse moved about as noiseless
ly as a spirit. I learned after that it was
the crisis.
I watched all that was done as a hawk
hovers over its prey. I imagined some spell
was being wrought to prevent the accomplish
ment of my "fifteen-puzzle." But I was
desperately determined that it should be done
—for I must sleep — or die. My strength was
about exhausted. Finally the nurse stepped
out of the room. Then, while alone, I re
doubled my efforts. Fourteen of the little
blocks were in their proper places— the fif
teenth—
♦ • •
Ohimlng of the church bells awakened me
at the hour when children were wending their
way to the little brick church at the head of I
the avenue upon which the house in which ;
I lay was located. It was a beautiful spring
morning— the most exo.uisitely perfect day I
had ever seen. My brain was perfectly clear
now. I was strong as a lion — in my mind.
I tried to arise. Physical weakness alone pre
vented me. I had conquered. And I firmly
believe that had I fai'ed to accomplish that
"flftean-puzzle" I would have died. Such is
the delirium of pneumonia, by actual expe
rience.

Plaiyliiß- Power. >
The amount of power expended on play
ing on a piano has recently been figured out
in a way which, if not altogether accurate,
is at least interesting. Commenting on the
statement that it really requires more force
to sound a note ge>ntly on this instrument
than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says
Woman's Life, It is easy to verify it, If one
takes a small handful of coins and pile 3 them
on a key of a piano.
When a sufficient quantity Is piled on to
make a note siound they may be weighed,
and the figures will be found to be true. If
the pianist Is playing a fortissimo, a much
greater force is needed. At times the force
of six pounds is thrown upon a single key
to produce a solitary effect.
With chords the force is generally spread
over the various notes sounded simultane
ously, though a greater output of force is un
doubtedly expeuded. This is what give* pian
ists the wonderful strength in their fingers
that is often commented on.
A story used to be told of Paderewski that
he could crack a pane of French plate glass,
half an inch thick, merely by placing cne hand
upon it as If upon a piano keyboard and
striking it sharply with his middle finger.
One of Chopin's compositions has a pas
sage which takes two minutes and five sec
onds to play. The total pressure brought to
bear on this, it i» estimated, is equal to three
full tons. The average "tonnage" of an hour's
playing of Chopin's music varies from twelve
to twenty-four tons.— Cleveland Plain Dea:«r.

The Mormons are. not succumbing, it .seems,
to the civilization of the non-Mormon ele

1,396 In California, 1.G40 in Michigan, 1,762

14,972 In Idaho. In Utah the iMormons are
about three-fifth of the entire population
which ia about 280,000. The church has 1,700
missionaries out, and last year reported
63,000 converts. It controls Utah and exerts
a strong political influence in Idaho, Wyo
ming and Arizona. A minority cf the church
opposes polygajny,^ but this peculiar institu
tion Is said to be still maintained by the
majority.— Baltimore Sun.

Sugar North and South.
People up in Vermont, where the maple
sap Is now beginning to run, can appreciate
the feelings of the folks down in Santiago,
who have just welcomed the first carload
of sugar to reach that city since long be

since the spring of 1897. Imagine the de

making maple sugar for two years.— Boston

NOTED FRENCHMAN DEAD.
M. Secretan, Who Engineered the
Great Copper Deal in 1888.
PARIS, March 12. —M. Secretan,
founder of the Society de .Moux and
chief agent ifi the great copper ring of
ISBS, died today.
The late M. Secretan, in February,
1888, formed a Trench syndicate to
raise the price of copper, then very low,
by a monopoly: The syndicate had ev
erything its own way until March of
the following year, when it came to
grief through M. Secretan's wild spec
ulation in copper, its collapse being fol
lowed by a widespread panic. M. Sec
retan's tapestries/ china and articles of
vertu, with some important pictures,
were sold at public auctions, realizing
enormous profits. Shortly afterwards
seventeen pictures were taken to Lon
don, where they were sold by Messrs.
Christie for nearly £30,000. He contriv
ed, however, to save enough from the
wreck to live comfortably.

Episcopalianism had its inning In the
Lenten series of sectarian discourses
which is being given at the People's
church, and the ritualistic church and
its doctrines and polity were edifying
ly discussed by no less worthy an ex
ponen-t of the faith than Bishop Coad
jutor Mahlon N. Gilbert, of the diocese
of Minnesota.
Rev. S. G. Smith, in introducing
Bishop Gilbert as the speaker of the
evening, said that last Sunday night
•we were delightfully baptised, and
I suppose that tonight it is proper that
we shall be received into 'the church, 1 "
and that if the church were going to
have anyone other than its present
bishop there would be none that he
would rather have than his friend.
Bishop Gilbert.
Bishop Gilbert then spoke in sub
stance as follows:
My friends, I avail myself very
cheerfully o f the invitation that was
so courteously extended to me by the
pastor of this church to deliver one of
the lectures in the course which he had
prepared, and more especially because
it gives me an opportunity of explain
ing some positions which I have oc
cupied all my life, and perhaps to re
move some prejudices, and to affirm
some positions which may be held by
others who are listening to me tonight.
I would far rather always try to dis
cover the points of contact between
the dissevered hosts of the church than
to dwell upon the differences, and I
don't think I shall dwell upon the dif
ferences ' very much tonight. As my.
eye ranges itself over the audience
this evening I feel that there are fewer
points of difference than there are
points of contact, and I will therefore
dwell upon the things that we hold in
common. I am very glad to speak of
these things wherein we enjoy what
might be called a common purpose and
a common ambition.
WHY A CHURCHMAN.
I have been asked tonight to speak
on the subject of "Why Am I an Epis
copalian?" Of course, if I were to
state the subject from my own stand
pointy and a little more satisfactorily
to myself, I should probably state it
as "Why Am I a Churchman," but
nevertheless as names are necessary
in order to distinguish bodies from one
another I am perfectly willing to ac
cept this definition and to give my. rea
sons for the position I occupy. Some
years ago I was preaching in a little
town in the western part of the starte.
and preaching a sermon which seemed
perfectly natural for me to preach — a
sermon which was the natural result
of my teachings — and there was sitting 1
before me in the congregation a very
excellent woman, and a very devout,
earnest Christian woman I am sure —
the wife of the Baptist minister at that
place, and after the sermon she came
to me and said that she was exceed
ingly pleased with my sermon, but
she couldn't see how it was that a man
of my liberal ide^s should not stand on
the broad platform with the Bap
tists. I answered as pleasantly as pos
sible and told her that perhaps, with
further enlightenment, I might be able
to satisfy her ambition, but neverthe
less I felt somewhat hurt by It, be
cause it seemed to me to express that
general misunderstanding of our
church's position which was so perfect
ly apparent to me myself. In the at
mosphere in which I have always been
reared, I could not Dreach any less of
a liberal sermon: it would not hay*
been possible: it was simoly becau?e I
was preaching that which had errown
out of the teaching's of my whole life,
and which had been cot 1 firmed by my
experience, that led. perhaps, to this
compliment. I shall try tonight to
make clear to you some of the reasons
that lead me to believe as I do.
BECAUSE I WAS BORN ONE.
I have had for several generations
back Episcopalian ancestors. One of
my great grandfathers was a Congre
ea.tionalist, but on my maternal side
I have never baen able to discover any
break in the line of my Episcopalian
ancestors. Tt was undoubtedly because
I was born in the Episcooal church
that I am there today. Why should I
remain there? Why should I not come
out on some other platform?
My studies have led me to look into
the platforms of other religious bodies
and I have tried to make as fair and
careful study of them as possible, and
yet I am in the Episcopal church to
day, and may I say so, I have never
been a stronger Episcopalian than 1 I
am today, and largely because I havo
been able to discover no other
platform that seemed broader than
mine. I have been able to discover no
other foundation that seemed to be
more firmly rooted, I have not been
able yet to discover any other church
that seemed to fulfill the conditions I
craved better than the church in which
I was born. I am an Episcopalian for
other reasons.
IT IS SIMPLE GOSPEL.
Now, I am not going to try to enter
into any of the details or specifications
in my talk tonight; I have not the
time, even if I had the disposition. The
church always tries to present the sim
ple gospel of Christ. It has never re
moved one word from the gospel de
livered among the mountains of Gall
lee. Sunday after Sunday, year after
year, the old gospel which was read
by the disciplas has been the gospel
of this church of God. Never has the
church endeavored to so dissect it as
to dissever one member of it from an
other. It has always tried to read the
whole law of God to its people and
leave it there in order that it might
assist, them in the way of eternal sal
vation, and so follows in the footsteps
of the Master, and no church clings
more tenaciously or loyally to the
teachings of the living God than the
Episcopalian church. It is the simple
gospel.
We don't take a te-xt from one por
tion" of it and ask the peopla to baso
their faith entirely on that, but we
take the law as a whole. We don't
s.iy: "Here is the consideration upon
•which we stand;"' we take it as a
whole-, and I simply challenge anyone
herft or elsewhere to point U> a single
Instance where we have ever detracted
a single word from this budy of the
Holy Writ, but we try to make it clear
er and stronger to the salvation-srek
in^r man. It is because we present this
simple gospel in its entirety that I dm
an Episcopalian. We do not a3k any
man to accept our theories when he
seeks to enter into the fellowship of
the church of Jesus Christ as we pre
sent it.
ASKS BUT ONE QUESTION.
The only question that is asked is: Do
you believe all the articles of the
Christian faith, as contained in the
Apostles' creed. That is all, but that is
everything. We do not ask him what
his theories are as to the methods or
effects cf baptism; we do not ask his
theory regaiding apostolic succession;
we do not ask him regarding predesti
nation; we do net a3k him what his
theories are in regard to the methods
of eternal salvation; we don't ask him
to divide up the geography of heaven
and tell where the wicked or lig-hteous
go. We don't lay down th-36 require
ments, because God and the Bible
never laid them down. We simply ask
that he believe the three great facts in ,
the Bible around which all other things
gather. The first fact, I believe In God,
the Father Almighty; I believe in Jesus
Christ; I believe in the Holy Ghost.
There are the. simple 'acts around
which are grouped all the teulr.nps of
the Scripture. It was to muL:; these
plainer that Christ came to earth.
My friends, I am an Episcopalian be
cause of that simple faith, and, may
I say It, with all frankness and candor,
that the reason why there are so many
divisions in Christendom is because
men have departed, as it wore, from
this simple expression of the faith of
the Redeemer ard have insisted upon
basing fa.ith upon portions of the gos
pel; some have one opinion, mime an
other; it may be the opinion of a man
wiser than myself; it may be a theory
which has warrant in the Scripture,
but nevertheless it is an opinion of
man und no church of the living God
has any right to dismember His law,
which is the embodiment of the truth.
So I stand upon ihls simple, yet broad
foundation.
NOT A NARROW CHURCH.
It seems strange that any man
should talk about the Episcopal church
being narrow. What could be broad
er than the fatherhood of God, the
brothership of Christ and the fellow
ship of the Holy Spirit? And that is
the position and teaching of the Epis
copal church.
Then, I am an Episcopalian because '
I believe that God founded a church.
I do not believe that he simply found
ed scattered sections here and there
as the embodiment of His incarnate
life. The holy Catholic church stanas
as the successor of the old Jewish
church. The Jewish church was not
absolutely destroyed, but It found its
fulfillment in the Christian church.
You read of its unbroken lineage and
simple historic continuity, the continu
ity of organism born on the day of
Pentecost, never ceasing, never bro
ken, undergoing many changes which
any organism must undergo. Yet, after
1,800 years, it is still the same church,
the same organism, though divided to
day.
I simply ask you to point to a single
instance where the organization waa
broken." If there is any man in this
audience that can point to a single time
in all the history of this 1,800 years,
when there has been a break in the
succession of bishops, I will give up
my belief in it.
IT IS CONTINUOUS.
Therefore, it is because of the his
toric continuity of this church, kept
clear, kept distinct, kept unbroken for
all these 1,800 years, that I stand an
Episcopalian today. I believe that
when orders are transmitted to us they
should be continued, and when I be
lieve that from above the order has
been handed down to us, I receive them
simply as a precious heritage and will
strive to hand them on to others. The
unbroken continuity ot the holy Cath
olic church has remained from the be
ginning. I do not enter into the his
toric argument regarding the position
of the church as we receive it from
England, for that is simply a part of
the general statement which I have
made. The Church of England, es
tablished by law, going through the
terrible fire of the Reformation, retain
ing its laws and orders and constitu
tional character, retaining all that
made it an organic church of the Eng
lish-speaking people, was transmitted
afterwards across the aeaß to this
American land, and became the
church of our American heritage, and
one of which we can well be proud.
CHURCH IS CONSERVATIVE.
I have nothing to say tonight, my
friends, in regard to our controversy
with the Church of Rome. I only say
this, that we hold to the church in its
essential features; we did not give up
everything at the Reformation that the
Catholic church asked for; we did not
give up our creed or our prayer book,
nor the .seemly vestments of the clergy;
we did not give up these things simply
because the. Church of Rome demanded
thorn. They were ours by right long
before the Roman Catholic church
claimed them. It was the conserva
tism of the English reformation that
saved us from losing the things which
we consider precious today.
Then, my friends, I am an Episcopal
ian because of our liturgy, our prayer
book. This prayer book we hold a
precious legacy next to the Bible. Let
no one mistake our position. The Bi
ble first, the Bible for the home, the
Bible for the church and her services,
first and always, but the prayer book
is the best commentary on the Bible
that was ever written. The prayer
book is the embodiment of devo
tions; the prayer book has the expres
sion of more reverential feelings; the
prayer book has the breathing of de
votions of all the years. The prayer
book, standing next to the Bible, is
the one thing that holds the church
close to the reality of her faith. Why
is it that we are not disturbed in our
church by the constant controversies
regarding faith?
ITS LITURGY BEAUTIFUL.
It is because every time the congre
gations of our churches meet together
every member of the congregation
stands up and repeats the belief of the
apostles. We fear little as long as we
know that wherever the English tongue
is spoken our people are standing on
their feet, reading the lessons of the
apostles and the saints of old, repeat
ing that beautiful expression of the
love of God and of church. We con
sider this prayer book a sacred book —
not sacred in the sense the Bible is sa
cred, but sacred as having the devo
tions of the Bible crystallized. Born in
the fires of the Reformation, formu
lated and adopted by the strong minds
of the learned men in the years that
have gone, breathing the prayers that
fell from the lips of the Savior and
the saints of the church, we receive It
and hold it fast and offer It to the
world as an expression of religious
devotion and religious faith.
Xow. my friends. the.=e are my rea
sons. First, because of Its simple Goa
pel: second, because of Its simple faith;
third, because of its historic continuity
as a part of the Holy Catholic church,
and fourth, because of its perfection of
liturgy.
ALL TREND UPWARD.
T am holding what has been handed
down to me, loyally and respectfully,
because It is a precious legacy; not In
the spirit of discord, but in the spirit
of the Master, as far as I can, in order
that the. good things, which I believe
are within the treasury of the church,
may be given to others, that they, Eeek
lng, may take life again. So onward,
upward, homeward, heavenward may
I travel. Baptists and Methodists and
Presbyterians and Roman Catholics
and Lutherans and others are all trav
eling heavenward. I know, thank God
that I know, that if we are faithful to
the old faith, faithful to the word
which is Christ's, If we build our foun
dations on Him alone, that the things
that divide us shall pass away and we
shall be united in the Eternal King
dom. Amen. _
