‘THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, MARCH 24 1879—TWELVE PAGES fn India they would have belleved ina God with three heads, Whereas now they believe fu turee Gods with one head. | | Laughter.) Some wight say, “Well, the retizfon of m: father avd mother is good enough tor me's pit if everybody took tmt position, where wold have been the progreas of the world? In fts place thero would bu the rudest and most burbarle stato of suclety posstble to concelyo, Every good fathor and mother wished thelr children to find out more than they knew—to. overcome some obatncla Uney couldu't grapple. [Applanse.] Every natton, continued the lecturer, had {ts eacredl booka—the more sacred, and the more contradictory, the moro inspired. [Lauyghter.] ie would admit, in Una beeinning, that Moses never Wroto one word of the Pentateuch, Not one word was wellten till ho had been dust nnd ashes for fituidtreds of years. But, as the general opinion was that. Moses did write these bouks, be had entitled the lecture the MIs. takes of Moses.” But ho didutt. wonder the ignorant barbarians of old belleved the Bible in- splred. Nuno of them could write a book, or unierataned anything that was written, aml con- sequently who they saw the “book thoy wora dumab-atrickon with awe, and rascals took ad- vantage of that awe. Gionlatise,) Now, It was sald the Bibte was inapired. Was fttrue? If true, tt didn't need to be inspired, [Anplause) A He would not ft anything ex- cept another Ite made for the expre irpose. Finally, somebody got tired of ly- ng, and the Tast He must fit the next fact. Then there wasn chance for inspiration, Richt then and there a miracle was needed, Laughter.) So the reat question was, wns t! tok true? The gentlemen who wrote it com- mouced by telling the God made the universe out of nothing, ‘Lhat that speaker could not concelva. It might ve no, but ha couldn't con- celvo tt. Tle could not imagine nothing belng made into something, any more than he could think of something being changed back into nothing. Ho couldu't comprehend {ty -couktw't Delleve it. “I may roast, you know," he added, “for this, but ft I¢ my honest opinion.” [Laughter] The next thing that Moses pro- ceeded to tell was that God divided darkness from Ueht. In epeaking of God, the lecturer meant the God of Jesus. ‘There might be in the Ammetialty some being whose every thought was a gilttering star, but lo knew nothing about him, TUB GOD IR MHANT } was the boing described by the Jewish people. At the time spoken of, it would seam that Nght and darknoss were mixed,—aud of course any one would perceive how this contd be, {Lauch- ter} Darkness was evidently belicyed to be an entity, It was said to have spread over Egypt ro thick that it could be felt, and some of It was afterwards exhibited at Rone in a bottle. [Laughter.] Inthe next place, Moses proceeded to say that God divided the waters above tho frma- ment from the waters below, as If tho firmament werca solid affalr, ‘That was where the Gods Uyed. Then, according to the same book, peo- Re afterwards bullta tower to reach Heaven. »Now, the man that wrote all theso things know nothing at all ahout the laws of evaporation. But the next thing ho told us was that the crass “grew and the trees were Inughed into blossom. Co). Ingersoll couldn't bolicve that grass would ,grow to burt any without o Iittle sunshine; . dere must have been a mistake there. The writer was not there, of course, and is excusable fo acertain degres. ° Thenext day “they'? made tho sun and moon,—the sun to rule by day, the moon by night,—and sot them for alzus and for seasons, ‘The man who wrote thut muathaye thought the aun was about threa feet in diameter, for, ac cording to the same book, that sun was stopped. awhole day to givo a General by the name of Joshua timo to kill a fow more Aimnlokites, and another timo ft was turned ten deorees back- word to convince Herokiah that he was not going to dic of a boll. How much enaier it would haye been to cure the boll! (Laughtor.) [lt had been calcutated by ono of the best mathematicians and as- tronomers that to stop the world would cause as much heat ae it would take to burn a Inmp of sollil coal threo times ae big os the earth, Col, Ingeraali said be supposed he would bo damned if he didn't belfeve it [laughtor|, and bedite aes if bo did belleve it, [Renewed laughter. : Ju this way he continued to speak of the Mosate account of the creation, showing ft to be inconsistent with the discoverioa of modern selence, ‘Tho Bible, hho snid, was oriz- inolly written im Webrew, ond ft would fake’ twico ss much inspiration to read the old Biblo oa it did to, write {t, owlng to the arrangement and the lack of division, The div.sions wero made afterwards, uid wero not always correct, as ho proceeded to explain, ‘The accounts of the MAKING OF MAN AND WOMAN wero contradictory, for thts reason. In ono lace man was spoken of os the Inst thing mado; ju another, a3 made before the bensta; In the former, a8 being made mole and fetnato; and tn the latter, only the man was mnde, and there was no intention of making a woman whatover, In fact, according to the second chapter, Adan was offered a beast as o helpmeot, but Adam dido't sce anything he fancied. [iaughter.| Col, Tngorsoll was glad he didn’t, {Renewed tnngh- ter.} If he bad, there nover would have been a a frce-thinker in tho world, and we sheuld have all died orthodox. [Laughter.] The lecturer imagined a God with a bone in his hand about to start a woman,—trving to make up his mind whether he would make era blonde or a bru- nette, {Laughtor.] But all these stories must be believed, or aman could not go to Heaven, no matter how vood a Ifo he had ved. And just here the lecturer drew a word-pieture of the = Day of Judgment. One finan was called up und asked) where ho came from. “Yes; what kind of a man aro ee was the noxt question. ‘+ Woll, { don’t. like to talk about myself. ‘But you have to doit. “Well, sir, I was a goud follow.’ 1 loved my wife and my children; my home was uy heaven, my fireside was my paradise, [ never gave ono of them a solitary moment of pain, Idou't owe a dollar in the world, and L eft cnough to pay my funcral expenses and Keep the wolf of want from tho door. ‘That is the Kind ofa man Lam.

(Great laughter. At this tle, however, Noab bad been murrie fornething HWke 100 yeara. ‘The speaker went Ou to describe THS BUILDING OF THE ANK, Which had one door, which shut on the outelda, jad ono window twenty-two inches square.

Thera were also avimals in this hemlaphere, How did ve cet them across? It must be remembered that there aro some ant: mals which would bo very unpleasant in an ark, unless the vontilation were perfect, (Renewer teuushersy After he sot the animals In, God shut othe door, and = Noah puted down tho window. ‘Then it began to rain. It kept on raining until the water went over the highest mountalna whose penks were covcred, with snow nnd ice. ‘The water was five and ‘one-hal€ imfies deep, avd it muat have rained 800 feet a day. Low waa that for dampness? Finally they came down upon Mount Ararnt, 17,000 feot nbovo the level of the ava. ‘Then Noah opetied the window nad got a breath of fresh slr, and they Jet out the aniinnls, and Noah got a drink. ~ Then God mado bargain with him that He wouldn't drown any more, aml put the ralnbow on the clouds as attesting: what He sald, Here the lecturer explained the natural causo of the rainbow, and ridiculed the [dea that ite orlgin vas tniraculous, Why, he sald, did God want to drown the animals? What crime had they committed? It was very hard to answer these questlons,—that Is, for s* man who had been born only once, [Laughter.] He then went onto speak of tho building of the Tower of Babel, ridiculing the story of tho confusion of tongues, ‘Then the world begun to divide, and THM IEWISIC NATION WAS STARTED. ‘They were in Cannan then, and they numbered soventy souls, counting Joseph und bis chil- dren, who were alreadyin Exyot. hoy lived in Canaun 215 yenrs, and ‘then they went inte Ei where they = also” Hyed 2 yours, at te oxniration = of h time thoy numbered. 8,000,000 soula.

Tor overy honest voter in the State of [Minots there were five oiler people, and averybody knew that there were more votors, a8 8 rule, thau_thero wera met of war. [Langhter.| 11’ tho devs had 600,000 men of War, they must have had, at the lowest possl- ble estimate, 3,000,000 people, Was that truo? Was there a minister in Chicago who would certify to his own idiocy by clalming tht 70 neaple iu 315 years inercased to 8,000,- 0007 If there was, Ict him say so, and don't let him begin to talk-about the ciyilizing toflucuce ofalic, When they got Into the desert they took aconsus, und found they had 22,273 flrat- born males, It was reasonabletu suppose there Was about the same number of first-born girls, or 45,000 first-born children. Thero must bu about as many mothers os frst-born children. Disiaing 8,000,000 by 45,000 mothers, {1 was fonnd thut the women in Israel had to have ou the average 6S children aplece, [Lnughter.) Saine stories weru too thin. This was too thick. (Renowed laughter.) ‘Chere must have been about 800 birtha per day, und according to the Old ‘Testament, te mother had to make a sacri Uce for the erimo of haying been a mother! If there was anything in the universe that was in- Hnitely pure, it was a mother with a child in her arms (applause), und yet a Jewish woman had to sacrifice a couple of doves or pigeons, and the pricats bad to eat the pizcous in the most holy place. At the rate of 809 births 9 day, and with only three priests, each of the latter would have had to eat 200 plgcons apiece per duy. Col, Tngersoll looked upon those pricats aa ‘THE OMAMPION BIND-EATERS of this world. [Lauchter.] ‘Then, to increase the difficulty of gecounting’ for this increase in population, there was the Desert of Binal, where the Jews wandered, compared with which the Sahara wos a garden, ‘The fond of the whole elvilized world could not maintain 3,000,000 peo- nie there for forty years, It would cost $100,- 000,000, and that would bankrupt Christendom. ‘The lecturer continucd piling up the figures, eapental iy runt a enormous amount of masti- cation those three priests had to do, and then he got down to the Lund of Canaan. There wasn’t a land agent in Ghiteago he sald, who would have'dared to describe tat land as one flowing with milk and honey. [Loughter.} Reridiculed the hornet story by asking if anybody belfeved God ever went Into pareuerahtn with those insects, and by inquiriny ow theso hornets wero to know o Canaanite when they saw him. Was it possible that God inspired them, that he granted letters of mari and reprisal to the hornets? | Ho was willing to adinit that nothing in the wofld would bo better, calculated to make man leave lila native coun- try than a fow hornets attending strictly to business. [Lauchter.] But here were 3,000,002 people golug to a country of 12,000 square miles —about one-fifth as large as Ilinols—with 21, 000,000 natives already there. By the saine pre portion fhe population of Itinois would be 120,- 000. that the beasts of the fleld shall not Jncreaso upon vou.” Did anybody believe that! If no mee dilly why did he teach It to his little chil- ren: In much the samo way Col. Ingersoll went through the story of tho manna,—ao very per cultar sort of stuff, which would mejt in the aun, but could be cooked by bolllng or balstnys, which shrunk to sn omer, no matter how much they gathered, ind swelled up to an omer, no matter how Itttle they gathered. What a mag- uificent thing manna WOULD BE FOR THE CUNRENCY, shrinking and swelling according to thu yolume of business! [Laughter.) The Jews had this nianna for forty years,—no change in the bitlfol furey—when they might just as well huve had three squure meals a day. [Laughter.] No wonder they remeuibered the eneumbers, the leaks, the onlons, aud the garlics of Egypt, and gaid, Our soul abhorreth this Mut’ bread.?

Io denied that the Blblu was inspired by morality, any more than it was by geology, ustronainy, or natural history, and. claimed that the leading principles of the Tun Commundments were known before the com: mndinent wore formally proclaimed, All Ula lows aogulust tarceny had’ been made by industry to protect the truits of {ts Jubor. “People fh every age had objected to being murdered. Laughter.) Inshort, all these Juwa had been enforced thousands of years befora that time, ‘The commandinent agulnst making eraven Images was tho death of art In Palestine, and no cominandment of thit sort wus a good one, [Apvlause.] If there was no civilization with- out the Bible, no hope for mankind, why did God put |e tn the bands of wfow? The speaker was willing to stake lis salvation or dumnation upon the question whether thu Biblu was true or not. Ho clatied’ it was not, and upon that ho was willing to wager lis soul, {Aoplause.] ‘Talk of its moral inspiration! What woman BELIBVED IN THE INSTITUTION OF YOLTGAMY? What man bellavod in that infamy? If they did not, they wero better than their God 4,000) years ago, who believed in it, taught it,” and upheld it, ‘The speaker danounced it as the fufumy of infutnies, and made an eloquent plea for the eanctlty of the faintly hearth. Hoe then went onto claim that the Biblo was not fnaptred by relizious Mherty or by love. He denounced the doctring of the Atoncment, and the underlylig idea that ong man could dia for the sinuf auather, | ‘The trou- big about the Atoncmont was thatit saved tho wrong man—the murderer, for Instance, on bls repentance, while the unsuspecting vietiin, cut off In the bloseom of sine, with uo opportunity to repent, was damnod to Hell. ‘The lecturer dwolt for a long time whan the {n> justico of this to hfs mind, and denounced it in tho strangest possible language, He comment- ed sarcastically on the selian desire of somo people to get to Heaven when thelr whole yes better Utted them for a residence in the other pli Would one member of a family, again, be bauppy in Meuven, with the other Joved ones in Helll But some would say ‘Hell—we don't belicve in tire, [Laughter.)

Hoechster has no par- ticular star, but, lke the Unton Square or Fifth Avente Companies, cach mamber Ia capable of doing fll justico to tia part. Every character, no matter how small, le taken ,by n competent actor, and those who play one woek leading parts will have to be satistled with minor ones the next, and the consequence f° the perlorm- ances are a pleasure to witness. The play pre- sented Inst evenlig was Paul Lindan'scelebrated drama “Maria and Magdalena. itis a well written and finely constructed society drama after the stylo of inost. of Sardou’s plays of this nature, With an {nferior compatiy {t will in- variably prove a failure. but if performed by such competent people as those who appeared in itinat eventing It must trecessarily prove o success. The leading and muost diitivult part— thatol Maria Verrina—was in the hands of Miss Kuhn, and she portrayed ina manner that eatabtished her still mare tn the good opinion of the theatre-zoing Germans, At the end of the second act she was presented with a magnificent basket of flowers. Miss Veluuth, a8 Maydatena, cave a well-balanced performance, though some of the most emotional bassnies she spoke in too low atone, Of tho male char- acters Mr. Rayene had the lending ong, that of Professor Facurenting, and again he carrted the audicnee with him by his faithful conception of the character. Mr. Moyer’s represcotation of Contnerclal Councilor Verren, the voneeited father of Marfa, was one thntcould not ecaeily be excelled, and he was particularly strong ta the last act, whon he recognizes hia dauchter in Maria Verrina, Credit is alev due to those who were intrusted with the minor parts, all of which gave entire satisfaction. ‘The stage man- ager deserves a word of praise for the fino set- ting and the complete arrangements which acloed to make this verfurmace oue of thy beat of the scuson, SUE DIDN'T HORSEWNIP TIM, 'To the Feditor of The Tribune.

Of It nothing in known but his history since ho arrived in this country is somewhat more tangible. "The frat that was heard of him was along tn the fall of 1874, when he turned up at Rochester, delivering bec. tures fu Presbyterian and other pulplts, He fell {nto disfavor there, however, because te drifted into a housu of Ml-fame. , its own atatement Was that be was lured into it by 9 friend; that o gentleman whom hs knew fnyited him to go and call on xume frignds of lis, and be had gone, but, npon dise?.o "pg the character of the house, had tmmedintely'feft.

So with thelr educatiuual system. = The object of both was. to show men haw to live happily and ccouumically, And the China- man did that. They were at peace with one an- other. Unless they were econoinical, how vould 100,000,000 live fn the Empire? If the popula- tion of America iucreased og rapidly as it bad in the Jast 109 years, Ina century or two, {f the present oxtravayance was kept up, huw would the people be mafutained? te then adyerted to the auclentness of China, and the doctrines of Cunfuclus, contrasting them with those ‘of Christianity, to the detriment of the latter, as he put them; aud, alter eharacterizing the Chi- nese o8 the (nest raco under the sun, he spuke in a jocular way of American women,—ol thelr — public “demonstrations of — love, und subsequent appltertions for sepuration from their husbands.

China was densely populated. He had traveled through fourteen of the, eluhtcen provinces, and for hundreds of miles didn’t see o house. He de- wied Uhut there was danger of a fluod of China- men to America, Why dian’t they come whon millions were starving! They would not leave their country fn any numbers. dle claimed that those hire had not ruined the leo of labor, Waves wero higher fn San runelsco than any other city, ‘The lowest sal- ary pald toa Chinaman wos $15 a month.

But the missionaries could po wherever they Jeted without molestation. ‘The people were no worse In thelr morals than those of any other nation, Ho next apoke ot the transgresstons of the Americaus in China, and thelr not Hela up to the Burlingame Treaty. In conclusion, he matntalticd thut, whut tvas sulted for Chinamen was not sulted for Americans. = What benellted the ong wouldu’t beneilt the other,—the natures and waits of the two peoptes were different. Tewitl Le noticed that very little Hzht waa thrown on the Chinese «question, as Amerleuns understand the meunling of the term; but, xg Wong Ching Foo bad only half ay hour at bis daposal, he couldn't say Vory much,—not as much, perhaps, a6 he desired, .

CHAN PAK KWAT, M13 LECTULR ON THE CHINEGR QURSTION. ‘The First Methodist Church was filed with a Jarge assemblage of persons of both sexes Inst evonlny, including quite a number of leading eluizene and a few Chinamen, the occasion belny the lecture of the Rev. Unan Pak Kwal, a Christian—not o heathen—Chinaman, of San Franeireo, and a gentleman from the Celestial Empire who ts not altogether unknown to fame, ;and who hag been advertised by some “Melican man” as an impostor, ‘The lecturer laa good typo of the Chinaman, Hespeaks the President's American quite fluently, though with some oc- castonal hiealtation in the utterance of words, nud, so far na the reporter was ablo to judge, spuke the Chinese language correctly. Is voito {§ a pleasant one fu {ts tone, and free from any objectiunable avecnt; but he did not follow Shakespeare's advice in suting the action to the word and the word to the action, seeming to profer-to do his gesturing by cun- stantly polnting the Index floger of bis rigut hand toward the auditors. After tlic customary devotional exercises, the Koy. Dr. Parkhurst, pastor of the church, pre- faced the introduction of the lecturer by denv- (ng that the latter wos o fraud und thot bls specchics were written by some one fn Call- fornta. Chan Pak Kiwal made bia bow to the atdionce, and sald that he felt somewhat embarrassed in appearing befora so large an assemblage of la- dics and gentlemen. He, like many of hie countryinen, came to California to dig gold anid make a fortune. Hedi not cone before lls hvarera tu extol the virtues vor the vices of lis people, but to set before them the Chinese ques- tiou from o Chinaman's stundpolnt. He was nothing buta poor Chinaman, and was but puorly educatea, even In the Jangunie of fis own countgy. Every Chinatnan, he sald, was proud of bls ‘own country aud of ite fustitutions, and proud to feel that lic was one of its 400,000,000 of people. Chinn stood to-day oun of the most promising nations of the earth so far as her roapucts were concerned. ‘She was far from wing a nation of oarbarians; she had books and scholars, farmers and) mechanics, und all the other couromitants of civilized countries, Although her peuple were fdolators, the writings ut Confuclus were the text-kooks of all the schools. Tudaatty was respected, and education rewarded by ollicial promotion. China had nut deatred to open hier doors to forelenerd; she de- sired to live by herself und mind her own busl- nees, The Chinese, fie continued, bad gomu pretty good diplomats, and he mentioned the Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States from China und the Con- sul-General = as = xood specimens. To exclude the Chinese from America now, siace the United States has held out such fndice- ments for tle men of all the nations of the earth to emigrate to its shores, aud missionaries bad sought to convert the heathen Chines to the Christin faith, would be more ike fighting against God than against the Chinese. The speaker referred tothe Burlingame Treaty to show how the. Governments of both the United States and Chinahnd acreed to the right of the citizens of both countries to change thelr residence and enjoy the fruits of Mverty. Our Government had subsidized a Hue of stcam- ers to bring Une Chinese over to this Jand, while, on the other hand, China had done nothing. At first the Chinese were well recelyed in Call- fornia, but they soon developed a competttion in labor and business, and objections lad been — raisud to them. The European fimnigrant was given the right of suifrage, and it was sald, to votcearly, often, and late,” ‘The Chinese laborer was determined to get off the wages he could from hfs employ- ers, and when European Inborers had osked wages that the eniplovers would not pay, and a difticulty thua arose between them, the China- man stepped inimd got the Joh. The speaker showed some of the advantages of Americans tn having Chinese laborers in California. Not withatuuding the competition of the Chinese, the white men cotld get better wases In California tian in ony other State, aud . some of the Chinese — received better pay than the Eurupeans. — But fu the mad, unreasonable persecution of the Chinese all sorts of objections lad been offered, and the press bad been too willing to ald tn the imoyencut, The idea of a vast emigration to this country was absurd; the Chinamen was always looking = to eet back to his hone, ‘Lhe emlerattion of Chinese to thls country bad been gotug on for thirty years, aud J in all had come, or about 8,000 annually, il-treatinent by the whites had. caused a decrease. Severat millions of people in the northern provinces of China had been deatroved by famine within a few yeara, nnd yct there was vo emigration from tlt part of the Empire to this country, He facotionsly re- marked that the 40,000,000 of people tn the . United States might go over to China and hava much the best of ft in soll, climate, and produc- tlous. ¢ ‘The attack on the Chinese, he said, came from the frreligious class and from party politicians; itdld not come from the relizious press, but. from the mercenary press. How abaurd for this great people to think that ite lostitutions would be overthrown by 200,000 Chinese with- out the aid of the batlot! Was idolatry 60 much stronger than Christianity? He spoke about the curses and complaints heaped upon his peo- le, and said thet the Chinese of San Francisco pald $40,000 o year into the Treasury of that clty for the support of the public achools, and yet not achild of one of them was allowed to attend them, A multi tude of* filppant objections lad been urged agatuet the Chinese, and one of them was that they caine ta America to make money, course, he supposed thut all the white people went to Callfornin to make moneys, and he made another witty point on that head by saying that they (the whites) did not cone to better thelr condition, Ot, no. He alluded to the restrictions placed upon the Chinecsa by the new Conatitution of Catltornia, and pald his respects to Mr, Hiluine, who bad been wrongly intormed in regard to the emigrants from Ching, The Chinese beltoved that China tutiilled the coniitiuns of the Ercole better than America bad. He denied that the Chinese wore sluves, and had been hired out to the Companies that ngslsted them over to this country; the China- man made his own bargain and spent.dis own money as he plead. To be plain, he said “that amy man who - uttered such a Mbel on the Chinese people wos —, ‘The gepeaker sald something In Chinesa whieh the reporter did not exactly catch. It might be after all that the Chincas system of keuplug close was better than our own open-door sys tem.
