Professor Franklin Steiner Speaks on the Subject, “Morality Without Superstition.” Professor Franklin Steiner gave a lec- ture to quite a large attendance of free- | thinkers at Scottish Hall last night. The subject of his lecture was “Morality With- out Supesstition, or What Will You Give in Piace oi Christianity?"” Professor Steiner dweit on the ethics of | morality apart from Christianity. “Free- | thought 1deas of morality,” he said, “should be based upon this and not upon the future life, as taught by the modern minister. We do not deny the existence of God, but we do, claim that God has done nothing for humanity, man having to fina out everything for himseif, while the gods in the heavens have been deaf, dumb and blind when it came to helping him. Reading, thinking and investigat- ing for yourself will do far more to assis<t you than all your study of tue Bible.

The cadets being purtof the National Guard and going into camp for & week or more, during which time they were in chargs of arms and propariy be- longing to the Stnte, it certainly was the Guty ofeither the State inspector or of some supe- ror officer to be present and see that the cadets took proper care of that property.

LIKE THE NEW PASTOR, Dr. Wilson Preaches His Initial Ser- mons at the Howard-Street Church. The Rev. Dr. John A. B. Wilson has begun his pastorate of the Howard-stree Methodist Church in an earnest and energetic way, which has greatly pleaced his new congregation. They were enthusiastic in praising him last night, poth for his two first sermons and for the iorceiul manner in which he has <taried 1nto his general duties of serving his flock. “He bas taken right hold,” is the way some of nis people exvressed it The new pastor’s sermon yesterday morning was on the subject of “I'he Care of Oare,” and he toot hie text from Phil. iv:6-7: ‘‘Be careful tor nothing, but in everything by prayer and supnplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be ma ‘e known unto God, and the peac of God which pas-eth understanding shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.’ He announced as propositions for dis- cussion the care prohibited; anxety and distractions of mind; the course com- mended and the blessings promised. He said in part: The course commended covers all one’s iils and misfortunes. Instead of repining over them, in everything by prayer and supplica- tion and thank-giving let your uests be made known uunto God. “In” everything’ is a very broad siatement.

The text for the evening sermon was from Gal. vi:14: “God Forbtid Thnat I Sbould Glory Save in the Cross of Je us Chris The speaker opened with an ex- planation of the congregation whom Paul was addressing in this letter. They were seeking to engross into their Cnristianity enoush of the Jewish ritual to enable them to escape the Roman persecution. Let us consider this doctrine of the cross. Doctrine simyply means “teaching.” By the figure of specch called metonymy the cross stands jor tihe whoie s:stem of Chrisiianity. The ruct that Christdicd the death of a male- factor was the most difficult thing with which the disciples had to contend. Paul decided that if this couid not be vindicated then let the system inii. The sacrifice on the cross fiudsits ju tification in the reasonableness ot expiatio’, in the vindication of God’s truih- fuiness by the fulfillment of the prophesies, in i1s proof in God’s {aithfulness to law and in its comple ‘e demonstration of the exceeding sinfulness of sin.

It has been the custom for the past fifteen years for the Howard-street congregation ta provide their pastor with a residence in the more desirabie residence portion of tue ciiy, but as the bulk of his flock is closerio the church Dr. Wilson has de- cided to liave the o'd par-onage renovated and .ive in the midst of his people. -———— SATAN IN TH loY PISTOL. A Minister Says It Makes Boys Think Murder. At the West Side Christian Church last evening the nvastor, W. A. Gardner, preached from the subject, “The Devil's Snares,” He said in substance: All the woes, wretchedness, anguish and pain with waich mackind is cuTsed ure caused by sin. sin is hideous and revolting, and would not be countensnced by intel.igent be- ings were it not for the atiractive and decep- tive gurmcents it wears. The devil is harmless when he *goes about like & rosring lion,” but in the garb of “an angel of lignt” he ensnares the multitude. There is no more effectual covering to tne net of sin than the scoffing laugh of the skept He iaughs at what he calls the cred end sisvery of the Christian and boasts of his unbelie! and liberty. With a nutural desire for freedom the young are led into the s are of skepticism, where they find freedom to throw away the Bible, the only book which tells of their origin and destiny; freedom 10 deny God the only answer to the problem of the universe, and freedom to walk in the broad road of sin which ieads to moral degeneracy and eteruni ruin. A muititude of little snares are effectually used by the devil in the imagination. He has covered them with the thought, “Sin begins only in the overi act. Toink as you please, but no sin until you act.” That is one of Sntan’s most damnable lies. Sinful thinking affccts only the sinuer, but makes of him a rotien-hearted hypocrite ana effectually pre- pares him for all the crimes known in ihe moral law. No man falls suddenly. Before the bank wrecker uses the money intrusted to his care ie has, in his imagination, carried on exten- sive speculstion with other people’s money, having no iden ol committing the crime. Every murderer has become such by years of ihinking murder. It began when he was a boy and was furnished with & toy pistol, wlhicn, in sport, he pointed in a hreatening manneér at his p'aymate. Every parent should know that the devil lurks in the toy pistol. The who carries a gun in his p.cket or pinces it under his piilow at night is thinking murder and being led into one of Satan’s snares, where he miay soon commit the awiul ———— THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS” Rev. F. V. Jones “ays It Is Found In Uuselfishness. Rev. F. V. Jones of San Mateo occupied the pulpit of the Plymouth Congrega- tional Church last evening and spoke from the subject, “The Secret of Happiness.” In part hesaid: Happiness is the ore longing of the entire human race, ana since this is true it is well to irquire into the secret and ascertain how it may be obtained. It cannot be secured by wishing for it. The fime Las passed when we could “sing onr souls awey to realms of end- less bliss.”” Neither can happiuess be earned, mes 10 us as & rewsard and not a3 wag! possession of wealth or worldly houor does not of itself bring uappiness. It | cannot be sought and obtained, for happiness i~ not tue end, but it is a means to the ena. »d does not send down upon us happiness as he does the sunshiue, but he hes put in our euds 3he means to obtain it. “Happy is ne who has the God of Jacob f his help, whose hope isin the Lord his God.” The joy of Christ’s life was that he became poor that we might hocome rich. When we come into full iellowship with God, have his love and reflect that love back on to others then will we be truiy, happy. Therefore, the irue secret of bappiness is unselfishness, The only way to have the best things of lile is to give them away. If we love aud care for onr fellow-men, do the best we can when we have anything to do and always remember that God is on the throne and piace our trust fn Him, then, nad then alone, will we have real joy ia our hearts. .- FARMERS’ INSTITUTE, It Will Be Held in This City During the Present Week.

Y., Oct. 10.—Henry George and Seib Low were the two May- oralty candidutes most talked about to- day. Unkind things were said about each. The deal between the Citizens’ Union and the Thomas Jefferson Democ- racy seems to have peased only Tom L. Johnson, the trolley raiiroad man! who made it.
