When we came to this new buflding we brought a debt of $10,000 with us and we have reduced this to $4200, which we shall soon be able to pay off. Unlike some clubs, we have never sacrificed the standing of the membership of the Reliance when we were in a tight place. I mean t we have never reduced our fees so that hundreds could ffock in when we were in need of filling the treasury. We have gone deep Into our pockets to meet just such contingencies. The Re- liance Club, whether viewed from its athletic or socfal features, is fitted out completely, and although our dues are somewhat higher than are those of the Acme, we shall not reduce them. The Acme men, who have joined the Re- llance have all come voluntarily, there having been no coalition of the two clubs. UNEASIRESS AT THE HOME FO - DEAF MO DUMB Board Is Doing Some Quiet Work.

Despite the heavy downpour last night | there was a large attendance at the Tem- | ple Emanu-El to listen to Dr. Voorsang | er’s lecture on “Robert Ingersoll and the | Bible.” At the outset of the discourse the ddctor commented on the sympathy | displayed by the public for the loss of the | famous agnostic. He called attention to | the old Roman custom of speaking well of the dead and forgiving and forgetting all mistakes made by a public servant. He cited the suicide of Nero and said he supposed that at his death Nero was given credit for being a benefactor, a dis- penser of gratuity and who assisted in developing the great architectural beauty of Rome, whereas the student of history will only know of his debauchery and im- morality. The speaker declared that he had no idea of classing Ingersoll with Nero. He sald Ingersoll was a very remarkable man, whose life was clean and pure, and that' he had many admirable _qualities. That he should be commended for not believing that a public office was a pri- vate trust or that it an ir ation to the spoll; that he believed in the equality of woman—the mutual responsibility of man and woman—and that he appreciated the strength of family ties. So far as a consideration of moral life was concerned there was nothing to object to in Ingersoll. The doctor said he once thought that Ingersoll was merely a bust man who translated his uncanny questions for profit, but he safd it would not be fair to {hink’ 0 If one reviews his remarkable e, “The question is, then, Where did offend?” " continued the Rabbl. *“Ingersoll was a type and embodiment of a cros examiner, who preached the Scripture like a lawyer. But you cannot approach God by thé methods that prevail in a Po- lice Court; neither can you approach re- liglon by the methods of the chemist or by the operations and theories of a math- ematician. Religion is a fleld of its own, has a vocabulary all its own and must be proved by men specially schooled. Mr. Ingersoll had a constitutional right to ask uestions, but he did not ask them with the reverence of a plous interrogator; but like a man who throws a bomb of dyna- e mite before the eyes of his mother. If he was right in asking qu ns he exer- clsed that right like a spiritual an- archist.” In concluding the doctor remarked that Ingersoll was a_great lawyer but a very poor Blble student; that the man who could charge juries and fascinate thou- sands of people was a very poor the glan; that he unwis thought 3 that by ridicule he could throw discredit on the old Hebrew literature. The doctor said Ingersoll defeated himself because he did | not prepare himself. P D U S TALKS OF THE ORIENT. Dr. W. F. Southard Illustrates Man- ners and Customs of Con- stantinople.
