THE FINAL STANDARD OF APPEM POWER MAKES AN ABLE AD DKESS LAST EVENING. The Bible, no Says, la the Only Trne Standard In Kellslous Thought The Insufficiency ot Human Reason Is Ably Shown. In his address at the First Baptist choreh last evening Rev. F. D. Power, D. D., pastor of the Garbeld Memorial Christian church, Washington, D. C, poke on "The Bible, the Standard of Appeal in Religious Thought." -The one final standard of appeal m religious thought, said the speaker, is Christ and His teaching. The teacher rent from God, in whom d welleth all the fulness of God, is the last arbiter whose decision we mav invoke in all things pertaining to his kingdom. Christum ppello, "I appeal unto Christ," briDgs very question touching the feelings and actions of men in their relation to God to the fiual proof. There can be no other standard. To the Pope of Rome has been ascribed this distinction, that speaking ex cathedra he is "endowed with the infallibility with which onr Divine Redeemer willed that the chnrch should be furnished in defininff the doc trine of faith and morals." It is fair to say Rome herseif dos not accept this dogma literally and the consensus of mankind could never accede to it. The claims of the cbu.-ch as an organization to this authority do not rest upon any octter grounds, the cbnrch is the body of which Christ is the Head. She is but the creature. No power is delegated to her to set forth e tegula dci, a criterion ol doctrine. Much less can tradition be taken as a test of religious thought. Tradition has ever been used to give currency to human opinions and regulations, and its toun dations arc sandy and unsafe. Least of all can conscience, reason, or the inner light be regarded as a final arbiter by which to pass judgment upon all re' ligious teaching. Conscience is universal Whose conscience, whose reason shall be the supreme rule ? The one last appeal is to Christ and his teaching. First, uc belief bears testi mony that, as far as any criterion exists in matters beyond the decision of sense, to Christ and his doctrine must be granted the crowning place. See Goethe, Kousean, John Stuart Mill, Kenan, even Ur. Martinean. Secondly, history and human experience declare the truth of this position. Who has been the upli.t mg force ot the centuries ? Where is the universal solvent of oursocial problems What has done most to raise the stand ard of morals and exalt the race of man Christianity in action i its own defense Again conscience approves this test Conscience with universal voice testifies to the tact of sin, to the insufficiency ol the light of nature for our guidance, to the excellency of the Holy Scriptures, to the claims of Christ as a Teacher sent from God, to the necessity of an atone ment, to the need of a divine Savior, and to the fact that Christ pacifies, and His gospel rectifies, sanctifies and sustains, the soul. Finally revelation bears this testimony. Moses., the prophets, Christ himself, the apostles, all bear this wi ness that Christ is Counsellor, King Judge, Legislator, Wisdom, alone having the words of eternal life. What is un derstood by Christ and his teaching ? Not the Sermon on the Mount only, but the four gospels. Not the four biogra phies only, but the teachings of the apos tles who spoke for Christ as moved by the Holy Spirit. Not the epistles only, but the Scriptures which onr Lord en dorsed as the Word ofGod. Moses, the prophets, the f salms. "Believe in me," said Christ, and believing in Him we ust accept h;s witness concerning the rtters ot the Old Testament. What now must be the result of a practical recognition of this standard ? recasting ol theology. Lhnstocracy, )r all other forms of divine government; hnstology, for all other systems of di ne knowledge; Christologtsts, Chnst- ocrats, for all other schools of divine ser- ice. In theology proper, tbe knowledge and views of God, there has been an es sential change. The age is disposed to leave the questions tnat disturbed the tlomoonsions and Homoiousions to tbe realm of undefined tiuth. It accepts the simple statements of Holy Scripture with respect to God and the infinite relations of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Theol ogy wilt not be theology at all, bnt Chnstology. Christ will explain Christ ianity. The Cbristocentric tendency will determine the whole religions system. Accepting Christ and Christ simply, and requiring of those seeking her fellowship, faith in Christ and obedience to His commands and nothing more, the chnrch will be a united church, a simple church of Christ. And men, asking tbe way of life, will be given the simple Scriptural answers. So, coming to Christ and His teaching as the last test we come again to the undying truth of tbe ages, tbe un changing trnth of the Bible the Bible, the whole Bible and notning but the Bi ble. Iast Lectnre of Dr. Davis. At the Bible class this morning Prof. Davis said : After the tn iracle of raising Lazarus from the dead a council of the Sanhe drists was immediately" summoned to ask and answer the question, 'What sballwedo?' And Caiaphas tbe high priest spake: 'Ye know nothing, nor do ye consider that it is expedient that one man sbonld die for the people' an un conscious prophecy ot this wicked man It was fitting that the high priesthood. about to be superseded shonld thus speak with its expiring breath. So soon as our Lord heard of tbe death sentence pronounced by the Sanhedrin, be with drew to Bphraim, bis work as an Evan gelist is done; it remains to him to offer himself as the Messianic King to the nations. Alter a short farewell visit to his old home and friends, He, with his disciples, joins a caravan on its way to Jerusalem; on his journey He is asked the question about tbe kingdom of Heaven, and answers: 1 be kingdom of heaven is within you,' a reply that is the keynote of the events that follow, a note of royalty, tbe King is coming and presenting him. self to ton. Tbe heroic return ot Rega ins to Carthage is dimmed by this return to Jerusalem. Sunday spent at Btthany within tbe home of Martha and Mary is usually accepted as the Passion week. With some timidity and hoping yon will look into it before yon accept my view. I say to yon this is all wrong. The Pas sion week begins on Wednesday and lasts only tour days.

He Is the Legatee ef the Present Ad ministration and Favored by Mr. Cleveland All That Is Necessary Is a Word From Whitney. New York, Ang. 7. The Herald says that in the opinion of many prominent Democrats a formidable movement is likelr to take shape in a short time in favor of the nomination of W illiam C. Whitney for the presidency. 'At this moment," says the Herald, 'the eye of nearly every aspirant for the Whits Howseia auAa i taint J Mr. Whitney. Mr. Cleveland has made up his mind that if Mr. Whitney desires the nomina tion next year he will bare the qniet sup port of the national administration. Mr. Cleveland, it has repeatedly been said. does not desire a fourth nomination or a third term, but he desires the party to take. up the strongest candidate and one who will be of service to the party on lines which he can approve. He thinks no man would be so strong as Mr. Whitney. Mr. Whitney is not a seeker after the nomination, bnt be will, it is said, accept it. 'In view of Mr. Whitney's probable Cleve-1 candidacy as the legatee of Mr, land the situation in this State becomes most interesting. The Democracy of the Empire State is in a period of reorgani zation. Hugh J. Grant and Richard Croker favor Whitney, and in the opin ion ot Mr. Whitney's admirers the only thing needed to start the Whitney boom rolling through the country is a word from Mr. Whitney himself that he would accept the nomination. His friends will try to do the rest." TUB WORST CONFIRMED Arch-Deacon Wolfe Accuses Chinese Soldiers of Plundering. London, Ang. 7. The Church Mission ary society has received a dispatch from Arch-Deacon Wolfe, sent from Foo Chow today. The dispatch confirms the re port of the burning at midnight, of the charred bones ot the victims of the Chi nese mob, and adds that soldiers sent to protect the mission at Kucheng broke into the building and plundered it. Chinese authority cannot be relied upon to afford protection. Ladies at other missions have been called in. A dispatch has been sent from the for eign office to Mr. O'Connor, British min ister at Pekin instructing him to demand of the government of China that it secure the safety of British subjects residing in that country. Mr. O'Connor has also been instructed to demand a full inquiry into the recent massacres at Kucheng and the punishment of those found to be guilty of the crime. Washington. Aug. 7. The State de partment has received a dispatch from Consul General JerniganL reporting further missionary outrages In China. The dispatch follows: "Hixon (consul) writes that American mission property at Ynngsnh has been burned. Details of the Kucheng massa cre are horrible. Houses were stealthily surrounded and sleeping ladies and chil dren speared to death. Situation unset tled." 14 ON THE JURY. Durrant to Be Tried Under a New Sys tem t n California. r- San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 7 Four teen jurors will be impanelled to try Durrant. Tbe authority for impanelling 14 jurymen comes from an act passed by the legislature at tts last session provid ing for alternate jurors in cases that are likely to be protracted. As soon as tbe regular 12 jurors are impanelled District Attorney Barnes will request . Judge Murphy to allow tbe impanelling of two alternates. The matter has been all arranged and dnring the trial 14 men will sit in tbejury box. Alternate jurors are what may be termed as emergency men. Tbey will have all the privileges of rcgularjurymen witb exception ot casting a vote or de liberating upon tbe verdict.

Argument Before Comptroller Bowler to Pay Ont the Bounty on Warrants Drawn by the Commissioner of In ternal Revenue Bhj Money at Stake. Washington, Aug. 7. An extraordi nary argument, which began in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury today, was brought about by Comp troller Bowler's refusal to issue a war rant for about $12,500 in favor of the Leonard Beet Sugar company of Nebras ka, certified to the auditor by thcjcom- J" '" T a i a tntsstoner of internal revenue, and by the auditor -sent to the comptroller for bis action. Bowler was in doubt, upon looking into the case, of the constitution ality of the appropriation to pay the bounty on the crop of 1894, coatained in the new tariff law, inasmuch as the court of appeals of the District of Colum bia had decided that the bounties them selves were unconstitutional, and he noti fied claimants that until he was satisfied of the propriety and legality of it he would decline to issue a warrant. Today was fixed for hearing argument on the question. This determination of conJPro"er interested the cane sngar uicu ui 1ouiBiuou iar mure man it am the beet sngar men of Nebraska, as they had $5,000,000 at stake to about $250, 000 by Nebraska. So Senators Caffrev and Blanchard and Judge Semmes of Louisiana, joined ex Senator Manderson of Nebraska in the effort to satisfy the comptroller that the proper thing to do was to Issue the warrants. They failed to inonce eitner secretary anisic or President Cleveland to interfere in behalf of their clients, both those officials as serting that the comptroller was supreme in his sphere and beyond any icnueuce or direction from them. Among those present in the stuffy little ! omce ot the comptroller were varions I gentlemen who were to take part in the argument: Representatives Meyer and Price ot Louisiana: several department officials and ontside attorneys two Louisiana sugar planters, representa tives of the press, and Senator Mander son. Senator Mandersan, in opening the case for the sugar men, said that he approached the matter ia qnestion with a great aegree oi reluctance. 1 ne que: - tion involved momentous interests, lote: ests of great promise in the State of Nebraska. He was satisfied that the matter would have a fair hearing bv Mr. Bowler. No case had ever been pre sented to any tribunal baying more equity. He reviewed the history ot legislation regarding tbe bounti and referring to the McKinley law said that under it the government solemly pledged that if the people would embark in tbe industry ot sugar pro ducing, it tbey would invest their capital in it. tbev would be paid a bounty. The Leonard company, for whom be sptciallv appeared, embarked, after careful stud) and in good faith. D.d they have tbe right to rely upon this legislation ap proved by the President. If not what could they rely upon? The company had lost money, which he did not believe would have been the ense, had the Mc Kinley law been kept upon the 6tatute books. THE COUNTERFEITERS HELD.
