THft ARGUS, .FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 15, 1907. WAS DISCOVERER Dr. E. F. Bartholomew Holds that Christ Showed Solution of Social Problems BY RAISING INDIVIDUAL Protests Against the Tendency of PCil ; pit in Present Day. in a Lec ture on Sociology. In a sociology lecture yesterday on the subject, "Christ, the Discoverer of the Individual." Dr. K. P. Bartholo mew of Augustana college took occa sion to criticise the puipit in failing to make more practical applications of the-teachings of Christ. Dr. Bartholo mew held that Christ expounded the greatest sociological truths, that have ever been, uttered, and that He showed the true way by solvmg the social problems of the age by raising the in dividual, v- "The. tendency of the pulpit," said Dr, Bartholomew, "has been and is to seek a distant and vague ideal instead of applying the teachings of Christ to the social problems of the day. The few ministers " who do apply these Christian truths are looked upon as promulgators of new ideas, since this phase of Christianity .has been rele gated to the background. The danger of placing the mass above the individ ual is as great within the church as it is within the state. - Muni Knolilf Individual. "The average minister does not feel justified in putting forth the sVme ef fort in preaching to a few as he does to a large gathering. He does not re alize that the best results are attained by applying the truths of Christianity to the individual. How many minis ters know the members of their flock even by name? They fail to impress upon their members' the great inipoY tance of the individual in the social structure. To elevate the mass, the individual must be enobled, his feeling of obligation to fellow-men deepened, and his efforts so directed as to be subservient to true fellowship. "It was Christ who discovered the individual, in that He gave the world a new conception of man and a new estimate of the worth of the individual. He loved man, because He saw in him (lod's handiwork, the image of the Creator, and the object of God's Jove. Christ received Into His kingdom all ; classes of men, high and low; in all lie 4ei:iiuieu nil .wut'reui.nuiiu ami nossihilifv. Keither the- rnrrs of the beggar nor the black skin of tfio' sav 'age co Tiid coflceaT his OTrfrbri? 'CtirisF; The more debased it was, the more did He desire to purify it and place it where it would shine. "Thus did Christ teach a world-embracing philanthropy, a doctrine never before known. These teachings are the root of modern individualism, the direct result of which is 'our modern democracy, which in turn is almost a synonyni"of modem civilization. Til km Vp Whole .Man. "Christianity takes up the whole man and the whole sphere of his action. The' individual is the organizing unit, and, as such, all our efforts to reform society must center In human person ality. Every man has an essential dignity and worth, no matter how hid den it may be. All our social institu tions, the family, the church, and the state., are but 'instruments for the de velopment of the individual. They d not exist for their own sake, but for the elevation of the individual. Christ's conception of sticiety was.a communion of free and responsible persons. Thus, every individual becomes an end with in himself, and with a mission to per form. On every individual, therefore, depends the structure or society. "livery institution built among men must have its roots in the moral order of things if it shall be permanent." Cut Off With a Shilling. "Here," said a lawyer, taking down n calf bound book, "is the will from which originated the famous phrase, Cut off with a shilling.' "It is the will of Stephen Godfrey. Hp died in Lamlieth in 170(5. Now, I'll read, yon the paragraph in Godfrey's will that gave the world the phrase. A misty paragraph it is too: "Whereas. It was my misfortune to Ik? made very uneasy by Elizabeth God frey, my wife, for many, years, from our marriage, by her turbulent beha vior, for she was not content with de spising my admonitions, but she con trived every method to make me un happy; she was so perverse in her na ture that she woul not be reclaimed, but seemed only to lie born to lie a plague to ine. The strongth of Samson, the knowledge of Homer, the prudence of Augustus, the cunning of Pyrrhus. the patience of Job, the subtlety of Hannibal and the watchfulness of Homogenes could not have lieen suffi cient to subdue her, for no skill or force in the world could make her good, and ns we have lived separate and apart from each other eight. vears, and she having perverted her sou to leaye and Totally abandoh me there fore I give her one shilling only.'

William McEniry, representing t3 owiiers of the property it is desired to cross for the sewer outlet right of way, F. J. Lewis and J. L. Hagerman, pre sented a new proposition in a com munication from the owners of thi land. It stated that it was found th-j property owners adjoining the portion of Sixth avenue which Mr. Lewis an.i Mr. Hagerman, desired the city to va cate, would not consent to this part of the proposed transaction. They proposed that as a consideration for giving the city the right of way from Seventh avenue throtvgh their prop erty' to the storm drain on Sixth ave nue .near the car barn, the city sha 1 use the dirt which is not necessary to the grading of Seventh avenn when that thoroughfare is improve'., to fill the deep hole on the property owned by Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hager man. The city engineer estimated that 13.000 yards of dirt would havo to be hituled away and this amount the property owners want given them, for the grading of Thirty-sixth streer. which will then be dedicated to tV city as a street. All parties intercste 1 in the matter are to be notified to bo present at Tuesday's meeting and the matter may be disposed of at .that time. Arsue Water Kent C'liiim.

Every night the villagers listen for the owl. which roosts in .the forests ok John Taylor's farm. If the owl gives a series of long, mournful hoots rain is expected the next day. If sharp and clear are the hoots the weather will be clear. The owl's forecast has never failed yet. The owl Is called Big Ben. Its mate was shot fifteen years ago and now adorns the show window of Frank Had well's stoce. Robert J. Gillespie of New York, touring through Hancock the other night, listened to the owl for half an hour. He says all Washington weather forecasts have been thrust aside in Hancock.
