Rev. Jao. C Kilgo. D. D.. President
ol Trioltv College, aad oa of the
champtoaa of Chrlatiao edacatloo
(retted a large aadleoce at 8.15 o'clock
laat eight from the roe tram of Grace
M E. charch. Hia bear ere were ia the
maia each aa coincided with him ia hie
view, bat there were eomt not vert
aaaav apoa whom the artillerr of the
worth v Doctor'a logic aad the firea of
hia eloquence were qaite aaeleaa. Thev
held opioioaa altogether tbe reverae ot
hia. and while ther granted hia eloquence
tbey were aare that if hia logic waa good
hia prtmiaea were wrong.
The coagregatloa aaag "All Hall tba
Power o( Jeiaa' Name." and Rev. G. L
Flach led la praver. Tbe Rev. R A.
Willie iauodtced Dr. Kilgo ai a recog
a'aed leader la the movement for Cbria
Uaa education.
Dr. Kilgo aaid thit he waa gratified
to be able to apeak to the aadience
apoa a eabject tbat of "Cbriatiaa Edu
cation" which moat occupy and will
occupy the minda of many people until
ibev come to a proper ealutioa of tbe
qaettioa involved.
Chnitiaaity ia not an ordinary reli
gion, aad Cbrietlao faith ia cot aa ordi
nary Impulse It ia tbe final religion.
aad carries ia it every iesue of life. Thia
makea it the awiulleat body of truth
known to men, aad givea it tbe absolute
claim apoa human thought. If Cbria
tiaalty failt. the world ia doomed.
Education ahould aim to elevate the
human ract and fit It for all the rela
tione poaalble toil. On tbia poaltion I
thiak I will find aaiveraai agreement.
But when it ia attempted to analyse tbe
proposition. It ia apparent at once that
it ia not a fundamental truth. By what
meana ia the race to ba elevated ? What
are tbe poaiible relatione ol man. and
how ia he beat fitted for them ?
Tbere ara thoee who claim that educa
tion ia all important tbe primary fac
tor in human development. It ia not.
There ia always a doctrine of lile that ia
mora (uodamental and which givea shape
to all ed jcat:oaal aims and metboda. Be
yond tbia idea no educition can go. and
for it will all education exiau In Sparta
tbe State was tbe eupreme idea; in
Athene, art. in Rome, government; in
America, cit xjnihip. in Scotland, reli
gion.
Tbere ia aomc.hing of truth in the
idea that educatioa ie tbe primary factor
in human development, but it ia a dan-
geroua half truth. It faila to aettle any.
thing. If education ia to elevate tbe
race, wbat fundamental doctrine of the
race la to determine ita method?
Thia it and hat been thequeetion at
iuae la the educational hiatory of the
centuriee: it haa been, and la- atin. a
atruggle between religion and human
philosophic to fix thia primary doctrine
of life.
But to-night we are concerned about
Cbriatiaa educatioa. or an educa
tion tbat ia limited to tbe doc
trine taught by Cbriet. Cartatlaa edu
cation i etientiatly aad radically da
tmct. If it i not ao. if tbere ia not
ucb a thing aa Christian educatioa
tbea there ia no Cbriitlan charch, no
Cbrittiaa Sunday achool. no Chriatian
Bible, and you might as well take your
boy out of the Sunday achool and come
out tbe church yourielf.
It ia aecesairy to call attention to aome
of tbe falae notion of Cbrutiaa educa
tion. Tbere ia a clan of men who have
little aympatby with it. but at the aame
time are forced to patronixe It. and it ta
not carprialng that they ahould interpret
it aa a meaningless farce.
Cbnetian educatioa ia not to be con-
foanded with moral education. Morality
movea on aa entirely different bails.
Cbriatiaa education I not being edu
cated ia tha neighborhood of piety or
under Cbriatiaa icflaeoce.
Nor mutt it be confounded with an
occaaional compaaioaahip with members
of tbe church. Companlonahip with
Ptbagoraa or Newton would never
have made a mathematician of a rain.
The dooation ot a B.ble oa graduation
day la not enough to meet the claims of
Christ. There ia ao much of downright
religioaa atupldity.
For bow much are we indebted to
Christianity t It baa redeemed tbe home
ttd rtvealed tbe child life. Search
Sbakeapeare for a trace of the child and
yoa will look la vain, out loot into me
Book ol hooka for tbe be it portrait of
childhood. Wbat a calamity if tbia
traaiurv of troth aad parity la snatched
by the ratbleaa band of tbe acheming
politician.
Womaa owea all abe ia to Chriatiaaity.
Compare the aituation of woman io
Cbriatiaa couotiiee with her eituatioa in
ladia. China. Persia: and what waa her
itaatloa ia Sparta? Nine hundred and
ninety-nine of tbe women of our land
wbo hold college dlplomaa hold them
from Cbriatiaa tchoola aad collegea.
Tbe speaker had recently seen figures
showing bow groaaly illiterate the peo
ple ot North Caroiiaa are. Aad io
they are. bat illiteracy ia not tbe aole or
taa maia caa is ot crime. A negro is
never ta Anarchist. It Is lb shrewd.
weli-edncAted maa that wreck a bank
or plota agamat hia government. Illit
eracy ia aot the cauae ol crime nor edu
cation ita care.
Shall tha doctrlata of Christ ba tbe
fundamental aim of aa educallot?
Every period of oar hiatory tbat baa
ruled revealed rellgloa oat ot educatioa
haa beta deluged with Infidelity aad
vice. Tha raaalaaaac had Ita birth la
Italy. With tha revival of the etoryof
the deeiica came a discouatof rellgioo
aad aa aspalaioa of It from edacatloo.
Italy waa dlagd ia aa tafidelity aad
vice from which It his eever recovered.
Ia Gtrmaav tht reaaltaiece was con
trolled for religious tads, and oat of it
grew tht Rtformatloa.
Roaeteaa aad Voltaire waged war oa
relictoaa tdocauoa ta Franca netil tbey
bad datbroatd Christ, and ea throned
raaaoa aad csitar st tba aim of adaca-
tioav aad throagh tht cam tba filest
Influences that have ever cursed a oa-
tioa. Ara too ready to take Jesus Cbriit
out of educatioa after yoa owe him for
everything that elevates, ennoble and
purifies ia education?
People Ulk of a Chriatian State. If
tbey mean a State ia which we are al
lowed to pray without being bong, then
China is ss good as America. If they
mean a btate whoae ethica are the ethic
of Chriat, then bar-rooma. Sabbath trains
tad divorce laws diapata tbe profei-
ion.
Cbriatiaa educatioa la the inculcation
of tbe doctrine of Chriat aa tbe final
doctrine of life. A college that doea
aot teach the Bible aa tbe aopremeat
text bock does not give Chriation edu
cation any more than a Sunday school
tbal teacbea Hosteller's almanac gives
Christian education.
Tba foregoing aynopaia ia only a very
feeble effjrt to ahow the line of thought
puraued. Like all aynopaes. it doe tbe
apeaker an injustice. Dr. Kilgo Is an
elcquent speaker, bat the charm of his
eloquence ia beat felt by thoae who ait
under tbe aound of hia voice.
Toere wai not quite so much of tbe
humoroui in the addreas aa one might
have expected from the Doc tor 'a well
known ability a a mirth producer.bat tbe
addreaa was enlivened here and tbere
with flithesof humor and drollery that
ere very delightful. Hia enncciatlon
ia perfect and while hia voice is not pene
trating except in highly wrought periods,
it haa a volume that carnea it to every
part of an auditorium.
He received a moat cordial welcome
here. The Methodiata here aa elaewhere
in the State are very proud of him and
the work he ia doing for Trinity College,
and very many, though not all of them,
endorie hia viewa on Chriatian educa
tion. And he ia a fond of Methodiata
aa they are of him. Towards the cloae
of hia remarks he paid a moil glowing
tribute to Methodiim. "If I hadn't
been well grounded in the Methodist
belief," be aaid. "I ahouldn't have mar
ried a Biptiat wife."
I a conversatioa with a STAR repre-
aentative yesterday. Dr. Kilgo aaid that
tbe proapecia before Trinity College and

BASE BALL AT HILTON.
An Kxaltlnc Oama Betwesn the A. O. L
8Jand4 O. A. H. Teame Soore Nine to
Bight In Favor of tbe Atlantis
Coiat Line Boya.
The battle ia o'er and a victory gained
One tide acknowledge defeat, and the
other revela in the thought of victory
It was tbe Atlantic Coast Line and the
O. A. N. bill teams that met. and with
nine men pitted against nine battled as
only the American youth can, until the
end. when tbe former cluo manly and
proudly bowed in submiislon before the
nine of the latter, upon which victory
hsd seen fit to cast ber lot.
It was a hotly contested nine innings,
and one that kept the "fan" on the
verge of inianity all during the game.
How the small boy did "root," and wbat
a voice he haa wnn propelled by his
entire lung power and then aent forth
on its journey of inteoded destruction
with a Yellow Kid vernacular twitt of
tbe tongue completely unnerving tbe
antithetic youth and his Summer girl, and
putting tbe prosaic old gentleman into a
aeries of spaamodic fuisy moods. The
ladiea, too, the representation of both
sides being a. p., cheered the boys and
gayly waved the red and bine or the
purple and orange. Another conspicu
ous figure was the dead-game sport, with
his stereotype expression "may the best
club win," and yet be calmly sits and in
a patriotic manner views things philoso
phically. AS SIKK FROM THE GRAND STAND.
Promptly at 4 80 o'clock Umpire
Fred Pearaall ahouta "play ball," and tbe
Coast Line boya take the field, leaving,
the O. A. N. crew in, to have a try at
(coring. Bagg, tbe invincible, ia atrut
ting arouod in the box, coolly awaiting
the aignal to commence to work hia
puzzle, while Oldham la in hia uaual
place, bedecked with all tbe instrument
of war. Sweeney, the first man up.
goes out, likewise Zsllers and Jackson,
but Tate, afttr making a two bag hit
scores.
The Coast Line boys how come in and
the O. A. N. take their places. Zel
lers. he of the 95 95 fame, grabs Old
ham's toys and gentlyjwaltze behind the
pan, to await those deadly balls thrown
by Johnnie Tate, the cool 'un. Schutte,
Oldham and Gtllowav retire the side,
while Sterenson. Bellamy and Myers
do likewue for the opposing
team, but Latta, Bagg and Motto
fare no better. Sinclair scores
n tbe third inning for the Coast Line,
and Zsllers, of the O. A. N., tallies tn the
fourth. I a tbe fifth Taylor tallica for
tbe Coast Line, and O.-rell and Moore for
tbe O. A. N. Things now look pretty
gloomy for the Coait Line boys, but
Oldham in the sixth manages to reach
first, and then Galloway, with a deter
mined look, walks calmly up to the pan
and makea a long drive over left-field
feace, thereby making the score even
The O A. N. failed to score in tbe
seventh, and upon taking the field aenda
Sweeney to the box to relieve Tate. On
Sweeney, after two men have been put
out, Schulken, Schutte and Oldham gain
and cover first, second and third base,
respectively. Galloway strolls gently up
to the plate and tbe most critical mo
ment during the entire game arrives, as
tbe hitting power of this "Sockalexis
Jennings" is well known. Once, twice
Sweeney shoots the ball over the plate
and Galloway fans at wind, and
tbe (upporters of tbe O. A. N. wish
deep down in their hearts that this
might be a repetition of the story told
in DeWolf Hopper's famous recitation
"Catey at the Bat." But for the third
time Sweeney shoots tbe ball, and tbere
follows a crash, and tbe ball goes on its
merciless journey tar out in left field;
actually hitting tbe fence in its anxiety
to go over. Two men score on the hit,
and aa a mighty roar goes up from the
grand stand tbe O. A. N. team goes
wild and permits Oidbam and Galloway
to crots tbe pan on errors.
In tbe eighth, tbe O. A. N.'s recover
and then aa the Coat Line boys go to
pieces score three runs, Jackson, Steven
son and Bellamy. The O. A. N.'s again
score in the ninth and the score is once
more even. Bit in this same inning
costly errors permit Lttta to score, and
the story is told. Score, 9 to 8 in favor
of Coast Line.

hitting; Jackson's strong third bag play
ing, and Sweeney' snappy abort stop

AS OTHERS SAW.
Ruiie" Bagg is having charts printed
giving the fall particulars, with drawings.
how to solve his pitching puzzles. He
has already received several orders for
copies.
Tate was to the bat five times during
tha game, and made four hits. Well.
Johania should do better, but then he
couldn't have done much better.
Scotcby Sinclair give forth tha state
ment that he will hereafter give vocal
lesson to every maa who reaches tint.
His first selection will be "He never
cares to wander." etc., which will impoie
upon the minds of the itinerant visitor
at first that it is dangerous to wander
too layoff that bag, when Bagg is look
ing, and he generally is.
Zellers suffers from ball kleptomania,
as he keeps on stealing base.
Manager Davis yesterday gave an ex
act impersonation of Sandow. Ia hi
glory he picked Manager Black up and
proudly strutted everywhere.
DROWNED
IN THE RIVER.
W.
A.
Hendrickr, a Faralytlo Vender
of
Teas and Slttohei.
W. A. Hendricks, the paralytic vendor
of tea and matches, who has been on
the streets for several weeks, was drowned
at the foot of Princess street yesterday
between 2 and 3 o'clock. He waa seen
sitting on the steps of the National
Bank of Wilmington at 8 o'clock. A
half hour afterward he was stretched
out on a wood flat, drowned.
It is very strange, but no one could be
found who saw Hendricks fall in tbe
river. There are usually teveral dray
men collected about the foot of Princeia
street, and how a man could have fallen
into the river without being seen by any
of them is a mystery.
George Smith, a colored boy aged
about ten years, was standing on a flat
and saw a man's head come up out of
tbe water, and gave the alarm. Help
was soon at hand and tbe body drawn
up on the flit. Efforts were made,
though several minutes afterward, to
bring the man to, ' but they were in
vain.
Coroner Jacobs viewed the body, but
did not deem an Inquest necessary. The
body was taken to Evans' undertaking
establishment, and Coroner Jacobs tele
graphed for information to Florence
and Sumter, S. C. at which towns the
deceased had been before coming to
Wilmington. He received no reply to
either telegram.
Hendricks will be remembered as the
almost helpless paralytic who earned bis
living by selling tea and matches. He
bought mainly of Mr. John L. Boat
wright, who sold him goods at very low
figures on account ot hissffl ction. He
bad been in the city about tbree weeks.
and came here from Sumter, it Is
thoueht, as the entries in the book which
he carried with him, just before those
made in Wilmington, were made in
Sumter. He boarded at different places,
but was last boarding at the Sutton
Home, getting lodging only. He had
not been there since Sunday night.
MAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE.
It was thought by some that Hen
dricks committed suicide. This fay
potbesis would explain partly tbe fact
tbat no one saw him fall ia, as he could
have let himself down from a point
where he could not be seen. His ac
tion, too, would favor the belief that be
drowned himself. For a good while he
was seen loitering around Princess and
Water streets and at d.ffsrent times was
seen sitting on the steps of stores
near by.
He had found it hard to dispose of
his wares, and was no doubt very much
discouraged. He usually bought his
goods in the morning, went out and sold
them and cime back in the afternoon
to pay for them, but for the last week
he had been getting behind until he
owed $1.50 or more.
He may have fallen in the river while
under the influence of a fit, though he
was not known to be subject to fits.
Store Bobbsd.
Burglars effected an entrance into tbe
store of tbe B, F. King Grocery Com
pany some time Thursday night. When
Mr. W. H. Sbolar, one ot the salesmen,
opened the store yesterday morning, he
saw tbe back door wide open. Further
investigation showed that the burglar or
burglars had taken a slat from one of
the window blinds large enough to al
low him to put his hand through and
unfasten tbe blind. After he was inside
it was an easy matter to open the door
and let his companion or companions in.
Candy, cigarettes and tobacco were
stolen to tbe amount of about ten
dollars. The burglars also enjoyed a
watermelon feast, as the rinds of sev
eral were found in tbe middle of the
floor. But the worst loss was from tbe
damage they lofi cted upon Mr. King's
cash register. Tbey evidently thought
that'tbe money was secreted somewhere
in tbe interior of the instrument, and they
almost completely dissected it in tbeir
efforts to get at tbe money.
CAPE FEAR F. E. CO. NO. 1.

tance prize in the engine contest of the
