President of Yile University.
i
! | Seven years ago when England was celebrating
y I the fiftieth anniversay of the accession of her queen,
and when everv part of the British empire united in
i/raE® offerings of patr otic pride, the chorus of congratula-
I X sMjiv '' on was broken hy a sharp note of warning from that
k '"lf, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the law—
I Lord God of Hosts, be with lis yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget."
If wealth and dominion follow as a result of faith and enthusiasm,
chey are good. But if wealth and dominion are made a primary object
and are trusted as a source of national strength instead of its conse
quence or evidence, they prove a false reliance. And it is an unfortunate
fact that very few nations have achieved wealth or dominion without
suffering loss of faith and enthusiasm and remaining with the empty
husk of greatness at the very moment when they deemed themselves
most powerful.
Our chief danger comes from the other quarter —from trusting to
the work of reason in places where we are imperfectly prepared for its
operation. Most of us are so constituted and trained that the relaxation
of discipline will not leave us at the mercy of blind passion, but it may
teave us at the mercy of an almost equally blind spirit of selfish calcula
tion.
To make human unselfishness the fundamental standard of right
conduct is as disastrous as the attempt to make our unchecked animal
instincts the standard of right conduct.
Almost every evil—political, social or commercial—which consti
tutes a serious menace to the permanent prosperity of our country can
be traced directi} to our tolerant acceptance of selfishness as a basis of
morality.
Do not be blind to this truth: That if you have no higher motive
than your own personal interest it means that your soul is for sale if
the price be made sufficiently high. It i< for you to show in your lives
that honor of a gentleman is not for sale, the faith of a Christian some
thing more than an empty fonji of speech.
The really fundamental thing in a man's life is his choice of a
religion. Two religions are to-day struggling for the mastery. There
is the religion of mammon, whose dominant purpose is selfishness and
whose creed is indifference to moral considerations, except so far as they
may be regarded as instruments of individual advancement. There is
the religion of God, whose purpose is service and whose creed is loyalty
to something larger than yourselves.

justifiable in the pulpit
By DR. WILLIAM M. LAWRENCE. because spiritual truths
i— must be driven home to
the hearts of the modern churchgoer b) arguments that will appeal to
the imagination as well as the reason.
Exaggeration in the pulpit is entirely allowable. If the modern
minister stated things as they actually are people would not listen to him.
! do not give this as an apology for lying, but it is a fact that the
audiences of to-day demand sensationalism. They want to be impressed
by big and extraordinary things, and the preacher must supply this
demand. '1 his necessitates exaggerated statements. The audience is
attracted to them, discounts them, and accepts them at their real worth,
while without the exaggeration they would never have noticed them.
The minister who understands the psychology of the crowd can
easily see how exaggeration governs a multitude. The swaying of a
crowd in different ways illustrates the power of unionism and clubs.
The congregation succumbs to this government and really loves to be
mastered.
A congregation's attention falls off if the sermon is on its own level.
It does not like to debate or reason, and objects to being compelled to
reason. The members of a congregation are never able to appreciate
tlte truth when placed in doctrinal relations. So the popularitv of a min
ister depends on his power to impress his hearers with such language that
ihey will spread his message of their own accord.
The tearful preacher has no pface in the pulpit nowadays. People
despise him. They would rather have frowns and scowls than over
worked tenderness or sloppy sentimentalism.

President of the Chicaflo Thcoioflical Seminary. l, *Ctlve characteristic of
the American of to-day
is his deep interest in
education, as demonstrated in our public school system, and in the devel
opmtnt of our colleges and universities. As a result, America is a nation
of educated men and women. Hence it is necessary that we have a thor
oughly educated ministry to serve t*iem.
The minister's education must be exact, scientific, and philosophical.
As a foundation there should be the primaray college degree, to which
should be added a close intimacy with Biblical literature, church history,
the progress of civilization, and a thorough knowledge of the conditions
of life as they are to-day.
For this knowledge of social conditions and the problems of life
there is demanded an extensive actual experience which shall bring him
m contact with all sorts and conditions of men. To my mind there is no
better way of acquiring this experience than by doing regular reporting
in a great city. The news gatherer comes in contact with real life in all
its phases. His knowledge of people does not come from books but from
a study of their actual relations and attitudes. He deals with human
nature and its puzzles constantly.
The theological graduate who for a year or two does newspaper
work and studies the men with whom he comes in contact has an almost
inexpressible advantage over the bookworm who has acquired all his
knowledege of men from theses on the subject ot "Man 1"

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST,
HAPPENINGS IN THE RUSSO-JAP
ANESE STRUGGLE.
Short Telegrams Telling of Battle*
and Skirmishes Between the
Armies and Navies of the
Two Nations.
A RUSSIAN VICTORY.
St. Petersburg, July 13.—A dispatch
froin a Russian correspondent at
Mukden, dated July 12, says:
"According to intelligence received
here the Japanese on Monday night
attacked positions near Port Arthur
and were repulsed with enormous
losses, not less than 30,000, it is said,
being killed or wounded by our
mines."
New Chwang, July 13.—Chinese
coming in from the country report the
Russians everywhere retiring before
the Japanese, who are soon expected
here. Active preparations ar* being
made for defense at Ta Tche ICiao.
ARE ONLY 15 MILES APART.
Che Foo, July 11. —Private ad
vices just received from New Chwang
indicate that the long expected battle
between Kai-Chou and Ta Tche Kiao
is now in progress.
St. Petersburg, July 14. —A special
dispatch from Mukden last night,
dated July 12, repeats the story of a
Japanese repulse at Port Arthur, with
th« loss of 30,000. The dispatch says:
"News has been received from re
liable sources that the Japanese third
ariny on the night of July 11 attacked
Port Arthur and was heavily de
feated, an immense number being
killed by Russian mines. The total
loss is reported at about 30,000."
Steadily and cautiously Gen. Oku's
army from the south and Gen. Nod
zu's army from the east are closing in
upon Ta Tche Kiao, where Gen. Kuro
patkin is reported to be entrenched.
One hundred and thirty thousand men
are involved in the movement. The
next few days will determine whether
and to what extent Kuropatkin in
tends to make a stand at Ta Tche
Kiao, the possession of which by the
Japanese would compel the immediate
evacuation of New Chwang.
London, July 14.—The Yin Kow
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
asserts that a battle occurred north
of Kai-Chou on July 12, when the
Japanese were repulsed with great
loss.
Ta Tche Kiao, July 14. —The Japa
nese attacked Ta Tche Kiao on Sun
day, but the attack was not seriously
pressed, the Japanese retiring even
tually toward Kai-Chou.
JAPS OCCUPIED YIN KOW.
Hai Cheng, July 15. —A detachment
of Gen. Mistchenko's army fought a
brilliant engagement Tuesday near
the lilack Mountains. Some prisoners
were taken.
Tokio, July 15. —It is reported that
Yin Kow has been occupied by the
Japanese without any resistance upon
the part of the Russian troops.
Che Foo, July 15. —The steamer Hai
Plug, from Shanghai, was captured
yesterday by the Japanese, ten miles
north of Che Foo, loaded with contra
band of war.
Ta Tche Kiao, July 15.—The Rus
sian retreat from Kai-Chou with the
loss of only a hundred men and the in
llictlon of heavy losses on the Japa
nese was a brilliant feat, of which
Gen. Kuropatkin marked his appreci
ation by conferring decorations on
every officer present.
The following was received from
Port Arthur on Wednesday:
"There is no change in the position
of affairs. Fresh provisions arrive
daily. There are constant skirmishes
in which the enemy suffer the most
losses. We have no wounded or seri
ously ill. On the surrounding hills
the Chinese are constantly helio
graphing. The Japanese have issued
orders that instead ot' attempting to
make prisoners of the Russians they
are to be shot."
JAPS FLED IN DISORDER.
St. Petersburg, July 10. —An Associ
ated Press correspondent in the field
repeats the story of a Japanese disas
ter at Port Arthur, July 10, hut does
not add any details, except the state
ment that after the repulse the Japa
nese fled in great disorder, pursued by
the Russians.
The Japanese are still entrenching
south ot Tatchekiao. No further ad.
vance has been reported.
Liao Yang, .l»ly 10. —Gen. Samson
off seriously checked the Japanese ad
vance in the direction of Yin Kow,
July 11. His Cossacks ambushed the
Japanese column and put 1,000 out of
action.
The Japanese attempted to advance
to Yin Kow along the coast, but they
were hindered by the marshy country,
which also increased their difficulties
in carrying off their dead and wound
ed during the retreat.
Te Tche Kiao, July 16. —The latest
reports regarding the storming of fori
Arthur on July 10 place the Japanese
losses in killed or wounded at 25,000
and those ot' the Russians at 5,500
The Japanese have now changec;
their frontal position and a big battli
is expected at the eastern portion ot
the defences, owing to the Japanese
turning movement.
The Boio was Poisoned.
Sterling, 111., July 15. —A poisoned
Filipino boio with which Mel Donichy,
of Sterling, accidentally wounded
himself as lie was giving an exhibition
in an amateur minstrel performance,
has caused blood poison in a virulent
form. The young man cut his hand
slightly with the boio and the wound
was dressed by a physician. Donichy
began to lose flesh and to suffer from
eruptions on his body. The boio was
taken to a chemist and was found to
be covered with a poison, the exact
nature of which has not been deteraa-.
