Another Lecture In Which the Sub- Ject 18 Viewed From a New Standpoint, Avother of the Sunday evening lec- tures was given last night at the Baptist church, by Rev. J. . Lemen. These lectures seem to be not merely drawing large audiences, but exciting thoucht and talk, the entertaining manner ' in which the subjects, ordinarily uninterest- ing to many, serving to excite the inter- est and attract the attention of those who #have almost ignored these lines of thought before. It appears that communications, some of them anonymous, are now being sent to the lecturer, and some of these he handled fo his own advantage last even- ing His main effort in this last lecture was to show the fallacy of so-called Christian evolution, There are some who reject the materialistic idea that all life was evolved from mat- tor, but while they place God as the author of all life, they claim that, though the germ was God-given, yet it was only a germ, and that the various forms had been evolved from this. The speaker, while acknowledging that this was a hiFlwr thuor{. yet considered it as being fallacious. He claimed that nowhere had there been found any facts to show that one species was ever changed into another species, and citing from the statements of ovolutionists themselves, showed thatthey acknowledged therewere such facts in nature. t amounted, then, to a mere guess of what might be. He held that Christian evolutionists w ere no forced to hold that God gave a special That he is innocent; that he was con- victed through tho false testimony of an alleged accomplico who has since con- tradicted herself on many of the mate- rial points of her testimony; that undue influences were brought to bear on his oti Much interest is manifested here in regard to the petition, and it is believed that a romonstrance against the irculated, signed and cony ——— Seaman keeps suitable Christmas Gifts for everyone. e — Toilet sets of various kinds at Bush- Larson’s laundry, was yesterday married | nell & Bracket - —— P ds wish you to get their ifts at Seaman's.

In all the illustrations used by Dr. McCosh it was evident he confounded growth with evolution. A very interesting and instructive ar- gument was based on a narration of the habits of the honey-bee, the description of which. was full of entertaining scientific facts, clinched with strong arguments against the evolution theory. . Next Sunday night he proposes to lec- ture on ““The Formation of Man,” which will be still more interesting, doubtless, as it brings the discussion closer home to everyone.

There have been sev- eral aspirants for the circuit court bench, but Major Joseph Lyman, of the law firm of Sapp & Lyman, though not a known aspirant, is the one who is to take the place. It has been understood that Governor Sherman desired to appoint © | him, but Mayor Lyman was not disposed to take it, and on this being known a number of others appeared as aspirants, and their names and chances have been pretty thoroughly discussed. 1t appears that Mayor Lyman has concluded to ac- cept the proffered honor, and hence the appointment. This will cause a revision of some of the political slates which have been made up for the coming campaign, RUBB Our speech is short, but to the point. ERS!
