The United State 3Iay lie Drawn Intoa Long War The Iter. W. S.

Jenckes's Sermon

Rev. J. Cumming Smith, pastor of Tab-

ernacle Church, preached to a large con-

gregation yesterday morning on the themeof "The Inwoiklng and Outworking God."He said in part:

"Paul like all luminous seers Is great, notalone for what he utters, but for what hecannot utter because it is unutterable. Andin this entire chapter his inspired geniusburrows down to subterranean depths ofthought only, however, to be tempted toI lerce down still deeper. Just as the noblehunting hound burrows down until almostlost in the hole of the hiding game,but by its eager bark shows the game Isstill farther underground. It is the unfail-ing tribute to the mightiness of the world'sfiuggestlve life and. therefore, of the Godwho dwells in the background that all ourirofoundest thought only opens to viewtome more abysmal realms of possibleknowledge. No book equals the Bible inbold pioneering quality and in the powerof suggesting for vistas and perspectives.

"In this chapter Paul aTgues a little likaa rabbi, but his thought Is clear as crystal.It is God working in the soul and thismeans the triumph of the upper sphere of aman over the under part. Man is as it werebivalve, two-shelle- d, two-tiere- d, and whena man grows In righteousness and loveand holiness of reason and other divineQualities he is walking in companionshipwith God. This is the conception of Paul,although the course of argument smacksof Jerusalem rather than modern phras-olog- y.

"One urtId suppose such a chapter toolofty and supernal for the coarse notes ofcontroversy. Where we climb to high cragswe expect to sec the eyries of eagles andnot the kennels of ugly-jawe- d bull dogs.But this chapter is scarred and smoky withcredal wars. The Bible, although the voiceof eternal quietude, has been provocativeof interminable discussions and even sotar has been helpful as discussion rescues usfrom stagnacy. Still we affirm that prog-ress comes not nearly so much from thef.wordplay and thunder of contentions asfrom the men of deep serenity of soulwho see the deep truth, who catch the re-mote visiion, who hear the exquisite anrmelodic rhythms of life and are too fullof divine dream for the vulgarity of an en-counter. The men who carry warpaint andhaunt the prize ring in theology are innine cases out of ten dwarfs struttingaround as giants. The unostentatious be-lievers who relish their faith and force itinto all the phases of life are the leavenand leverage of our progress.

THE BLACK CROWS."The black crows caw on the outer

fringes of the wood, but the better birdsare at their work in the heart of the woodmating and building nests and watchingbroods. The stream makes much noise rush-ing along over the stones and teems tocourt our notice. 'See how I can leap anddane along. But the silent waters.of thedam, with every bird in its flight and everycloud mirrored In its tranquil depths, fur-nishes the power that propels the millwheels.

"The apostle affirms that ultimate victorycelongs to the divine element in the world.If God b for us who can be against us?There can be no truce. The forces thatcrag down allow no armistice. It is warto the death. But after centuries oi tumultan bitterness the outcome is the uncon-tested supremacy of good and the primacyof God.

This, in the-- last analysis, is the philoso-phy of history. In the long run it Is not astruggle for existence so much as a strug-gle for character. Moral Issues have al-ways lain at the heart of violent collisionsamong classes or races. Take Waterloo.To the schoolboy it is a fight between Na-poleon and Wellington. To the statisticianit is but a muster of so many troops andthe display of so much military maneuvers.But to a philosophical historian it is therupture between two civilizations. Napo-leon represents dash and dazzle and hol-low treachery and atheism poisoning allthe sources of life. That was and Is toomuch the leprous condition of France. Wel-lington symbolizes strength and firmnessand faith in God and austerity of govern-ment and the pricelessness of liberty thatspurns the chains. And Wellington wonbecause the inflexible civilization he repre-sented must inevitably win. God was withhim in this great sense. There was nomiracle, but the necessary evolution of di-vine principles of rectitude and freedomThe British war with the Boers was some-thing more than a local disturbance: itwas planetary; it was the meeting of astagnant form of Christianity and a virileform of Christianity, and. despite all theinjustices on both sides, there could onlybe one conclusion to it. Bancroft has onlyrevoiced every great historian when hesaid that every war involves stinging in-iquities and shameful excesses, but thatnotwithstanding, the forces of educationand character and progress were success-ful. The war with China la the inevitableHash between Anglo-Saxo- n developmentand Asiatic, conservatism. It affects theentire planet. No man doubts the outcome.or my own part I believe that the worldis plunging into an enormous conflict thatmay last a century. My reason for thisstatement is that it has taken a dozen cen-turies for the Anglo-Saxo- n race to risefrom the slow, slimy levels of barbarismand slaughter and brute force in everygalling form to the high modern plane; andif it has taken such a length of time forSaxon to rise' even thus far in the scale,must we not allow considerable time to400,000,000 of crabbed, brainy human natureto reach the same altitude? I am noprophet or pessimist.

PROLONGED STRIFE.T am an optimist. But I face the facts

of history, and I argue from these that aprolonged programme of strife awaits usin China. - The present broil may bequelled by patching a brief truce, but theaggressiveness of trade will penetrate thatempire and inflame fresh animosities, andoceans of blood must flow yet. Empireconverting is an enterprise requiring cen-turies, and it is madness to go Hon huntingI. Jungles under the placid Impression thatie are going squirrel shooting. The Boxers,half patriots and half Anarchist, are Justdoing to-da- y what our loud-vaunt- ed fore-fathers did some aes ago. and with ahalo of .glory, too! Race lifting is a toll-som- e

task. Iron-ribbe- d prejudice must beconquered, long-settle- d superstitions mustbe uprooted. But God marches on, and themission of elevated races is to elevate, orthey lose their own elevation. And so therecan be but one conclusion to the presentcrisis. Asia must learn to wheel into linewith God's march through the world; andAsia will. Some argue from the outrageousduplicity of Chinese officials and the butch-erou- sfrenzy of Chinese soldiery to stopmissions: Why try to convert such brutes?We argue the very opposite. The soonerChina rises to our faith and liberty andculture the less blood will it cost us in thelong run. At all events, if the other logicis worth a twist, it would have been theduty of cultured Rome to have left severe-ly alone our naked, sensuous, brutish an-cestors prowling in British swamps and of-fering quivering human beings upon theiraltars as sacrifices to cruel gods! Yes, butmany ieople can argue correctly about thepast who cannot, even if you applied thethumbscrews, argue correctly about thelurid future on the same lines. Such isone of the incongruities of human nature.But all bigotries must go down. God I inleague with the races at the front, andnothing can block His path, even thoughit may require a hundred years to pry upAsia and sheathe the dripping sword."

REV. XV. S. JEXCKES'S SERMOX.

He In In I.lne with the Country'sPhilippine Poller.

Rev. W. S. Jenckes, former pastor ofSt. Paul's Church, but now engaged in es-tablishing a college for girls in SantaCruise de Yajoa, Spanish Honduras,preached In Meridian-stre- et MethodistChurch yesterduy morning. He took forhis subject the ninth verse of the fourthchapter of Genesis, using the sentence, "AmI my brother's keeper?" He said: "Thisverse teaches a lesson hat I of much pur-port this morning. It teaches us that weare our brother' at keeper. The lesson taughtcan be applied to all mankind; it teaches

us that we should assist the hungry, theunelothed, the destitute. It illustrates theaffection and brotherly love that shouldexist between man and man, coming downto the present time as an appeal to ourpersonality and impersonating a lesson thatwe are responsible for each other's keep-ing. Not only is it applicable to individuals,but also to larger bodies, to corporations,societies and nations. A nation no morethan an individual should refuse to assumethe responsibility as a protector to itsweaker brother, and should Impart its hap-piness, education and enlightenment andprosperity to the weaker one."

Continuing, the speaker said there hadbeen no special demonstration of this dutyby the United States since the countryfreed itself from England and Washing-ton declared a policy in conformity with thetext that later became known as the Mon-roe doctrine, until recently. He said itwas properly applied by President Cleve-land when England tried to take a part ofthe Venezuelan republic, and again in thefreeing of Cuba from Spanish rule. In re-iterating the outrages of the Spanish gov-ernment in the island of Cuba and thecontinually increasing tyranny exercisedunder the despotic rule, he said: "Then itwas our duty to interfere, and a sense ofjustice rose up in this country which re-sulted in this government taking up armsand throwing off from the island of Cubathe atrocious Spanish rule. It was rightthat we should, and with the freeing ofthat Island we acquired the Philippines,which we held, which we now hold and Ithink by all means we ought to hold inthe future, beyond any doubt."

The minister then referred to the coun-try where he now lives, and said it is timefor the United States to turn its attentionthere, with its institutions of learning andenlightenment. He said the helping handshould go farther into South America anddefined the importance of building an isth-mian railroad and constructing a Nlcarag-ua- n

canal by saying that the pending prob-lem in China will be solved in a mannerthat will make the Atlantic the back en-trance to the United States and the Pacificthe front.

Realizing the importance of educatingthe people of this southern country, hesaid he started about a year ago to teacha class of girls a course in English litera-ture. Then he was selected to organizea college, and he is now in this country topurchase supplies for the institution, whichopens Sept. 13, with an enrollment of fiftyyoung women. He said the education ofthese people is essential from a religiousas well as moral and commercial stand-point, as their manner of worship deviatesbut little from the idolatrous method oftheir ancestors. He said the Roman Catho-lics had missions, but their mode of wor-ship had become so contaminated with thepa Kan religion that prayers ascend to falsegods, instead of to the truly Supreme Be-ing.

TRAVEL ON A HOT DAY

PUOl'Li: CAHRJED 11V OVTfJOlXC AXDIXC03IIXG EXCURSIONS.

The Strect-Ilalltra- y Company Hud Oneof the nig; I)aa of Its History-Comf- ort

Hnrd to Locate.

Incoming excursion trains brought thou-sands of visitors to Indianapolis yesterday,but the outgoing trains carried more thou-sands away to other cities. The passengertraffic, as a whole, however, was not asheavy as usual. There were four out-bound excursions and only three that cameto Indianapolis.

The heaviest outgoing train was the ex-

cursion over the Big Four to Cincinnati,which carried twelve coaches, all of whichwere pretty well filled. The excursion toLouisville over the Panhandle was also wellparonlzed, the train consisting of ten well-fille- d

coaches. The excursions over theRig Four to Union City and over the L.E. & W. to Michigan City were but fairlywell patronized.

In addition to the above outgoing ex-

cursion trains were the regular Sundaytrains to Acton and Bethany, all of whichCarried away hundreds of Indianapolltansfrom their native city. But tho crowd thatcame in on the C, H. & D. excursion fromCincinnati was equally as large as the onethat left for that city by way of the BigFour. Twelve coaches were crowded totheir utmost capacity, and when the pas-sengers alighted at the Union Depot itlooked like a small army had arrived inIndianapolis. The Pennsylvania brought inan excursion from Xenia. O., Richmondand way points, the coaches being fairlywell tilled. The excursion over the BigFour from Terre Haute also brought anumber of visitors to the city.

HEAVY, STREET CAR TRAFFIC.The Indianapolis-stree- t Railway had one

of the heaviest traffic days of the year.Every car owned by the company , waspressed into service, and each car carriedtil the passengers it would hold and onemoje. Most of the crowd was bound forFalrvlew Park, but many went to River-side, Brooksldc and Garfield Parks. Thosewho felt inclined to disport themselves inand on tho water went to Broad Ripple andthe cars to that resort were crowded totheir utmost capacity. Owing to the in-tense heat those who went to the parkin the morning did not return until late inthe afternoon and evening and for that rea-bo- n

there was a time in the middle of theafternoon when the street car traffic wascomparatively light. The service of thecompany was excellent, and greatcrowds which would Bather at the cornersalong Illinois and Washington streets inhe morning would melt away as though

they were being transported by some in-visible carry-al- l. The crowd for the mostpart was a good humored one and smilesend perspiration were the order of theday. There were no serious accidents re-ported, and the hottest day in the yearpassed as any other.

I.MMEXSC CROWDS SHELTERED ATBETH AX Y AM) ACTOX.

People Enjoyed Themselves, Despitethe Interne Ilent Character of

Services at Both Places.

Yesterday was a banner day at BethanyPark and all day there was a constant in-pour-

of visitors, who came on trains, bi-

cycles and drove to the park. The groundswere crowded with old folks and youngpeople wearing gowns of every, hue andcolor, but universal in seeming to enjoythemselves in spite of the extremely warmweather. Almost every cottager on thagrounds entertained guests all day, and thegreat Bethany " family spent a Sundaywhich will live in their minds as a pleasantmemory. The day was purely a social forevery one and there were only two ser-

mons during the day, one In the morningand another in the evening.

The Bible school in the morning was con-

ducted by John Q. Thomas, of Rushville,and the morning sermon was preached byJ. A. Lord, editor of the Christian Stand-ard, of Cincinnati. He spoke on "Life'sRelationships" from the text, "No manlives unto himself." Mr. Lord said we arelargely creatures of our time and inherit-ance, and that nothing was isolated in theuniverse, but everything is related and theknowledge of the relationship of things isscientific education. The relationship ofpersons is the realm of religion. Each mindIs related to other minds as certainly ascne atom to all other atoms in the uni-verse. The tendency of the present age isto recognize the unity of relationship ofthings and persons. The old civilizationsbuilt castles and the new build bridges.The old cities' had walls to protect themfrom the outside enemies. The new citiesby railroads and telegraphs and othermeans of communication are Inviting theoutside worlds to come and dwell withintheir borders. The enemies of the new cityare all within. The church is conditionedon human soelety, and while usually bet-ter than its society is at the name time af-fected by It. It is impossible to have aperfect church In an imperfect society, sothe preachers and church must be inter-ested in all the forces that go to purifyand elevate the society in which they live.

In the afternoon a number of cottagersand visitors attended the communion serv-ice, and in the evening an address was de-livered by W. J. Russell, of Rushville. Hissubject was "Christ, the Divine Magnet,the Center of Attraction," from the text"And I, if 1 be lifted up from the earth,will draw all men unto myself." He saidIn part:

"These words are no empty boast. Theyhave stood the test of time for more than1.800 years, and have never stood so promi-nent and dominant aa at the present time.He is making His bold claims goods. Fromthe beginning great tides of thought andstirring . inquiry and mighty revolutionshave been radiating from that system ofwhich Christ is the center, so that Christi-anity is recognized to-da- y as the greatestforce in the world. Follow the bright andshining rays of the sun of righteousn?ssalong the pathway of human development.Other agencies have been at work, butChristianity Is the dominant force in theworld's history. And the world can nevercease to be distinctly Christian as long asthere is a gradual approximation to theChristian Founder. For the accomplish-ment of His world-wid- e mission He or-dained the preaching of the gospel. Forthe regeneration of mankind, for the set-tlement of tho unholy fires between laborfnd capital, there is no substitute forChrist and His blessed truth. What isneeded to-da- y is to see the uplifted Christ.Hold Him up in. the classroom, in thehome, on the streets, everywhere, and asmen shall see Him they will be changedfrom glory' to glory from character tocharacter."

IHCaCaKST CROWD FOR YEARS.

It In Estimated That Six ThonsandPeople "Were nt Acton.

The first Sunday of holiness camp meet-ing attracted thousands of people to ActonI'ark yesterday. Old cottagers on thegrounds said the crowd yesterday was thelargest in many years. Every train un-

loaded all its passengers at the campgrounds and at the gate it is estimatedthat there were at least five thousand tick-ets taken in. The manager of the hotel,who has compunctions about selling gro-ceries on Sunday, did a rushing ice creamand soda business all day and the diningloom at the hotel was crowded at everymeal. The rousing meetings at the pavil-ion attracted most of the visitors, conse-quently it was crowded both inside andaround the sides. People stood at the win-dows and in the aisles, notwithstanding theIntense heat. Rev. C. W. Ruth conductedthe morning services. An amusing incidentoccurred during the service. Mr. Ruth, aft-er an impressive sermon, took up a col-lection and before he was quite finishedsomeone in the audience began the hymn."He Touched Me," ' all unconsciously ofthe low ripple of laughter that sweptthrough the audience.

Many of the cottagers who go to Actonfor quiet were provoked yesterday morn-ing at the ringing of the pavilion bell,which began at 5:30 for the early prayermeeting. The cottagers on the square suf-fered most and were unable to secure anyrest through the day on account of themany services.

Last night the services were conducted byRev. Mr. McLauglln. Dr. Fowler will havecharge of the services to-da- y.

The late arrivals at the hotel are Mr. andMrs. James W. Tyner, of Morrlstown; Mrs.Henry C. Wiese and daughter, of Cumber-land; Mr. and Mrs. John M. Buchanan, ofCumberland; Leslie Clancy, Will Lower,of Indianapolis: Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Rog-ers, of Greensburg: Mrs. J. W. Dashiell, ofMadison.

The only three banks in Manila haveformed a ring to reduce arbitrarily andwithout justification the rate of exchangefor American gold. This has cajsed wide-spread indignation and many difficulties forcommerce and minor business. The banks,however, are obdurate.

There has been an Increase of insurgentactivity during the last three weeks, espe-cially in the way of ambushes and attackson small parties. First Lieutenant Alstat-ter, of the engineer corps, with an escortof fifteen men. was taken In ambush in theprovince; of Neuva Ecija, Luzon, by a largeforce.

or Gambling at Other Times.

NEWPORT. R. I.. Aug. 5.-Su- nday golfand bridge whist for stakes, a favorite di-

version among the summer colony, werediscussed, and the fashionable folk whoplay them were severely arraigned by Rev.Dr. Braddin Hamilton, of New York, inhis sermon at All Saints Chapel this morn-ing. The congregation represented themost" exclusive social circle of the coun-

try. In part Dr. Hamilton said, after tell-ing how the whole country looks upon itssociety people as the leaders:

"Show the people of this country' thatthe boastful, vulgar, brainless spendthriftis not the Ideal citizen of this country.There are a good many people who mightbe excused If they spend Sunday in recrea-

tion and amusements, but the people ofNewport have no such excuse, and theyoung men or young women who will de-

sert church on Sunday morning and goand play golf, have very little respectfor themselves and far less for the com-munity which they are leading In thwrong. Another example, the last andprobably the moat important. U the intro-duction of petty gambling. We have rea-son to believe, with great regret, that sucha custom has been practiced and is beingpracticed in many of the cottages at New-port this season. It Is safe to say if ram-bling is established here as an amuse-ment in respectable homes, that inline ofa year this country will have ten millionmore gamblers than it has to-d- ay and themajority of them will start in their humbltfiats, surrounded by bare walls. Just atInnocently as you started here on youipiazzas, eurrounded by plants and flow-

mission merchant In this city, and his wife,Annie E.. aged thirty-tw- o years, were bothfound dead last night with a bullet holeIn each of their heads la the garden infront of their summer home at Green TreeStation, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,near this city. Whether it was a case of

mutual suicide or murder and suicide willprobably never be known.

The couple had frequently quarreled anisome time ngo separated. Last week thiwife returned to her husband's house, Sin-

clair and his . wife each carried a pistol.For what reason no one could ever findout. Last night as the husband reachedhome and was entering the gate, neighbor!heard him exclaim: "Don't shoot!" anda few seconds later two shots in quicksuccession were heard. Several of thneighbors rushed into the jrarden and intha darkness found Mrs. Sinclair lyingdead. Close by her head was her husband'srevolver. The busband was lying a fewfeet away, and died in a few minutes with-out regaining consciousness. The wifepistol, a smail weaion was found aboutthree feet from his body.

The police authorities of Chester countymade every effort to-d- ay to unravel themystery. There are three theories as tohow the tragedy occurred.

The police areUicllned to the belief that the last theoryis the correct one.
