ent's Relisrious Needs.
ITS MANY GOOD TCORKS
Shows the Advantages of Evangel
ism Over Unitarianism.
AN UNSATISFACTORY DOCTRINE
Joseph Cook lectured in Boston yesterday
on the desire of the Orient for a new and
satisfactory religion. He held that Uni
tarianism and Universalism did not meet
the aspirations of the human heart as did
orthodox evangelism.
renciju. telegram to tub dispatch."
Boston, March 3. Joseph Cook de
livered his filth lecture in Tremont Temple
at noon to-day. The subject of the prelude
was "Unitarian and Universalist Missions
in Japan." He said:
"It may be truly said of all Asia, as Em
erson once incidentally said of New En
gland, that it is out in search of a religion.
Imported unbelief is a greater mischief
among the educated classes of Japan than
inherited misbelief, which has been largely
cast oS. Japan is seeking the best in re
ligion as she is in politics and education.
Prof. Hitchcock, of New York, has said:
'Men will have religion, and they will have
the best religion;' but he might have added
that they make many mistakes in the sift
ing process. There is no sieve for religions
like time.
"It is unpleasant for me to say anything
apparently uncourteous toward religious
bodies tbat have more or less merit in politics
and philanthropy and great prominence in
social life, especially in Eastern Massachu
setts. I revere the name of Channing; I
reverence the ability of Martineau, espe
cially as a writer on natural religion. I am
forced to frankness by no local reasonsbut
by national and international reasons of
the gravest kind.
DEISM AND UNITARIANISM.
"Unitarian and Universalist missions are
now being organized and pushed with a
vigor that is new among those denomina
tions. It is time that the Orient knew all
that the Occident knows about sifting the
unevangelical sets during the centuries.
Unitarianism in Boston has been a local
giant; after 100 years of unparelleled op
portunity it nas become a local cripple.
Both these lacts are notorious in New
England; it is time they should
become notorious in Japan. It is a little
over 100 years since Unitarianism reached as
much strength in New England as to or
ganize a church. English deism was the
grandfather of New England Unitarianism.
Deism was once the fashion in London and
became the father of that English Unitar
ianism which in tnrn became the father of
New England Unitarianism Deism can
not be spoken of with intellectu 1 respect
to-day. Unitarianism would have had very
little intellectual or literary eminence if it
had not been associated from the first with
circles oi politics and social distinction.
There was a time here in Massachusetts
when to succeed in politics one must be a
Unitarian. German transcendentalism
seized upon this new order. Hegel Schleier
xnacher and Strauss were the chief in
structors oi Unitarianism in its youth.
Their's was a pantheistic school which we
have practically outgrown. Unitarianism
began to have power through this new phil
osophy. The chief intellectual power of
Unitarianism was derived, not from English
deism, but from German rationalism. Em
erson and Parker were the trne leaders of
Unitarian thought, but Channing believed
that one Lord and Savior was not a mere
man, that he was unique superhuman.
MERELY HUMANITARIANS.
"But the mass of Unitarians in our time
are mere humanitarians. They assert the
mere humanity of Christ and "yet pray to
Him. It must be asserted that to-day Uni
tarianism shows a tendency to degenerate
into the deism from which it sprung. What
does Unitarianism mean as an organization
of churches? Dr. AV. H. Bellows says: 'A
man may be a pantheist or atheist and yet
join the Unitarian Church if he be of moral
life and call himself a Christian.' Contrast
this statement with that of ex-President Mc
Coosh made on this platform ten years later,
in which he says: 'Unitarianism is dead and
laid out for decent burial.'
"Does Japan want a cripple? Does it want
a corpse? The distinction between Evan
gelical and unevangelical denominations
ought to be made in the Orient for the same
reasons that it lias been made in the Occi
dent. Look at a lew commanding facts:
First Unitarian and Universalists are shut
out from active fellowship in the Young
Men's Christian Association!!. They are
shut out because unevangelical. Coleridge
said, a Unitarian may be a Christian, but
Unitarianism is not Christianity.' Practical
experience has shown in the Occident that
Evangelical and nnevangelical views are so
different that it is clear that in the interests
of peace they should be represented by dif
ferent ecclesiastical organizations. In this
I am quoting not the opinions of an hour,
but of a century.
EVANGELISM'S FRUITFUL 'WORKS.
"The evangelical denominations have been
the great and predominating forces in build
ing up the churches of America and found
ing colleges and schools. They have borne
almost exclusively the burden of missionary
labor. They have promoted great revivals
of religion as the nnevangelical have not:
the .latter have been spiritually unfruitful
as compared with the former. For the past
15 years the Methodist Episcopal denomina
tion alone has bnilt two new churches every
working day. The record of the past 100
years is that in all our feebleness and not
withstanding all our faults, we have ele
vated the Evangelical Church membership
of the land from 1 in 14 to 1 in 5 of the pop
ulation, built schools, promoted revivals,
carried missions to the ends of the
earth, and have maintained unity of doc
trine. The Evangelical Alliance, which
recently met on this platform, is a proof of
this; so is the "Worlds Missionary Confer
ence, which met in London in 1888. From
the various evangelical denominations, as
from so many corners, we wish arches to
spring into the' glorious vault of a cathedral
under which we wish to gather with us the
millions of Japan.
"Very few young men are coming for
ward in unevangelical pulpits to take the
place of fathers and leaders. Since the
death of the lamented James Freeman
Clarke I do not know that we have a
preacher of the Unitarian faith among us
whose distinguishing theological opinions
are worth studying New England Unita
rianism in that last generation
HAS NOT DEVELOPED
a great theologian or church historian I do
not know, that Universalists have produced
such a man within that time. But nn tr
other hand, let it be understand in h Drnt I
and in England that New England ortho
doxy has been sharpened by the controver
sies of the century. If Japan is to have the
best, let it choose New England orthodoxy
of the most exalted type. Unitarianism has
been eminent in literature, rather thin in
theology. It has developed philanthropists,
but not more than orthodoxy. But the
financial sacrifices of the evangelical
churches shows the teriousnessof their faith.
"We xive our money and our lives for the
support of those views which are commonly
called evangelical. I do not think radical
Unitarianism is much above the best forms
of religious instruction of 'the light of Asia.'
"I am not a Unitarian, because I do not
find in Unitarianism any intelligible ac
count of bow man is to be delivered from the
poilt of sin. It knows nothing of a vicarious
SslBtSk.ijhLlc.r. - - - , .is.l.vw -. jf;.t.. 71 4. . - 1
atonement. Deliverance from the guilt of
sin, and the love of it, is the desire of all
nations. "When you probe it to the bottom,
Unitarianism cannot give peace to the soul
that seeks that double deliverance. Evan
gelical Christianity lifts up the cross of
Christ, and teaches as its central doctrine
the necessity of the new birth, and not only
the need, but the reality, of an atonement.
My prayer for the Orient and the Occident
is therefore that God will lift up the cross,
and make it the rising sun of the entire
earth."
IMPORTED UNBELIEF.
Mr. Cook's lecture, which followed, was
upon "Imported Unbelief in the Orient."
The speaker said:
"It is hardly too much to say that if a
student in the Orient confines his attention
to only one regiment of our sceptics and
that regiment persistently driven round and
round the hill of London journalism, he
may mistake the regiment lor an endless
army. It is a trick to make a regiment
look like an army by keening up an ap
pearance of endless marching; apd through
that advice agnesticism has obtained an im
mense bold in Japan, China and India.
"What is agnesticism? I agree with Mr.
Abbot, of this city, when he defines it as
that creed which asserts the unattainahijity
of religious truth by any method. Scien
tific theism, on the other hand is that creed,
which asserts the attainability of religious
trnth by a scientific method. These two are
rivals lor the control of the educated mind
in the Orient as in the Occident Scientific
spiritual theism may almost be said
to be the universal creed of culture, Occi
dental and Oriental. The self-evident
truths of scientific theisms necessitate our
belief in the need of the new birth and of
the atonement We are not pantheists, nor
even what begin to be called Christian pan
theists; for we are not to be called sons of
God and brothers of each other in any em
phatic sense, and as implying that we are to
be received to the bosom of God, unless we
have experienced regeneration; sonship of
God means similarity of character with God.
SCIENTIFIC -'HEISM.
"The revelation which asserts the neces
sity of the new birth and the atonement, and
reveals the atonement as made, is the com
pletion of scientific theism. "What are the
objections of culture to supernatural revela
tion? I will take up two which have the
most force in the Orient:
First That the gospels may be mythical.
Second That if they are historical, they
require us to believe that the founder of
Christianity had no human father.
"I hold in my hand Rothe's famous Ger
man work on theological ethics. His is a
mighty head. I desire to quote from him
largely to show that Mrs. Humphrey Ward
cannot claim him as on her side when she
writes her Robert Elsmere. I translate
roughly as follows: 'The foundation jot all
my thought, I can assure the world, is the
simple Christian faith as for 1,800 years it
has "conquered the world. It is to me the
final certainty, in defense of which I am
willing to enter the lists against any form
of knowledge that opposed it I do not
know any other firm point for my philoso
phy or for my existence except this faith.
I know of no of - firm ground into which
I can cast a r. gious anchor except that
historic appearance which bears the holy
name of Jesus Christ That historic
appearance is to me the holy of holies of hu
manity, the highest that ever has been
reached within the range of human con
sciousness, a sunrise in histo.y, by the light
of which we must study th entire circle of
objects that fall beneath our eyes. This is
the testimony of one of the frees. minds of
German... I wish Japan, China and India
to rise to the level of Eothe, at least, and
when they are there, to discuss the second
objection.
A JAPANESE OBJECTION.
Mr. Carnochie, before returning to Japan,
said that one of th: chief objections of the
Japanese to Christianity is the belief that
Christ had only one parens Now I raise
the question: Why should not Christ's
birth have been supernatural in as high
degree as His character and His life? "Why
not an exceptional origin for a character so
exceptional? A lountain does not rise higher
than its source. Once, and once only, has
there appeared upon the earth a
sinless life. So far above the
human level is sinlessness that we must be
lieve that tbat life originated on a super
natural plane. I give in closing, one or
two tests by which Orient and Occident may
distinguish genuine from counterfeit re
ligious truths:
"First Let them adhere to the self-evident
propositions in ethics. Our Lord, Himself,
appeals to the cans and cannots in the very
nature of ethics. Gladstone says the gospel
itself leans on the self-evident truths. Plant
vour feet there, and you may be bold in life,
in death and beyond death, for self-evident
truth I had almost said is the divine omni
presence, as Lotze says.
"Second Adhere to th'ose religious propo
sitions that come to you from historic sources
and that are in harmony with self-evident
truths. When historical evidence shows
ycu there was one iu the world unlike any
other, and that God was in that one
RECONCILING THE WORLD
to himself, and when you find all harmon
izes with self-evident truths already learned,
then clasp to yourself that revelation. Hold
to the truths that are self-evident and you
are on your way to the propositions that
must eventually rule the world.
"Third Have adequate suspicion of all
fast and loose fantastics who accept and do
not accept self-evident truths. The mis
chief of our time is the mixture of human
and divine in philosophy. Let us have
done with those who make a game of the
ology or ethics.
'Fourth Adhere to evangelical unity.
Believe what the ages have sifted and have
reached harmony concerning through wide
circles of devout and accomplished men.
The greatest minds are the safest minds.
Let us be suspicious of those who cannot
show that they have been with God on the
mount But let us reverence those to whom
God has given great endowments and who
have consecrated them all to God. As the
ages have forgotten the little men and re
membered the great ones, so let us do in this
our time.

HE WAS INTIMIDATE
Why Shidy Talked So Freely to the
Civil service commission.
BDTTERWORTH WANTS TO 00
m
A Peculiar Coincidence in the Hatter ol
Appointments.
CHAEGES OP FAV0KITISM BROUGHT
Dismissal Depended Largely Upon the Politics of Uu
Offender.
Ex-Postmaster Paul, of Milwaukee, in
giving his evidence yesterday before the
committee investigating the Civil Service
Commission, testified that Shidy confessed
that he was intimidated by the commission
and especially by Mr. Eoosevelt Congress
men asks for information regarding a pecu
liar coincidence.
"Washington, March 3. "When the
committee investigating the charges against
the Civil Service Commission met to-day
Mr. Hatton, of the "Washington Post, who
in the absence of Mr. Ewart, conducted the
prosecution, called attention to the remain
ing charges against the commission. These
were: First, that the commission has' since
its organization to the present time, by the
manipulation of the rules and regu
lations, brought about results in vio
lation of the spirit and letter of
the law; second, tbat by the collusion
with the departmental officers, apppoint
ments have been made or brought about in
violation of the merit system, and that fav
orites have secured places with little refer
ence to their qualifications; third, that per
sons, relatives of the officers of the com
mission, have been attached to the com
mission, with the knowledge of the com
mission, a privilege denied Senators and
Bepresentatives without compensation and
in direct violation of law; fourth, that
offenses which resulted in the dismissal of
officers of one political party were condoned
when committed by officers of the othsr po
litical party.
BUTTERWORTH'S PERTINENT INQUIRYt
In regard to the first charge, Mr. Hatton
said that Representative Butterworth
wanted it amended so as to find how it was
h at under the Bepublican administration
nine-tenths of the appointees tor the civil
service were Bepublicans and under a Dem
ocratic: administration the same proportion
were Democrats. The scope of the amend
would bring the matter to the attention of
the committee when it discussed the general
workings of the civil service system. There
was no necessity, therefore, to take up this
charge at the present time.
In regard to the second, Mr. Hatton said
it was embraced in the Mitchell case and
the prosecntion was willing to leave the
matter on testimony already given on that
charge. As to the third charge, he said it
relates to the employment of the wife of one
of the officer! of the commission and the
sister of another, which was not denied.
As to the fourth charge, Mr. Hatton said
the prosecution held that it was sufficiently
established in the case of the promotion of
Campbell, a Bepublican, after a violation
of law, which he confessed, and the dis
missal of Stnrgis, a Democrat, because he
was an indifferent and careless clerk.
SHIDY CAN STAT.
Commissioner Thompson, in reply to a
question by Mr. Hatton, said the Civil Ser
vice Commission had not taken any steps to
secure Shidy's removal from the Census
Office, where he is now employed, and he
(Thompson) did not propose to take any
further steps for or against him.
Ex-Postmaster George H. Paul, of Mil
waukee, was then called. He was ap
pointed postmaster, he said, by President
Cleveland in 1885, and at the time was Vice
President of a Civil Service Association of
that city. There had been, he said, 45 res
ignations in the Milwaukee postoffice dur
ing his term. Of these only one had been
asked for; the rest were voluntarily given.
He said that politics had nothing to do with
the question of these resignations. The
compensation of the clerks was poor and the
labor hard, and the clerks were frequently
anxious to get out Proceeding to the
question of the Civil Service Examining
Board of the postoffice, Mr. Panl said the
duties of the board were discharged en
tirely independent of himself as postmaster.
A QUESTION OP VERACITY.
Mr. Paul said that he never had assisted,
advised or controlled Mr. Shidy in making
false certification or in changing the mark
ing of an examination. He said that he
(Paul) had no interest in remarking the pa
pen. He would make the broad statement
tbat he never, to his knowledge, in any
manner improperly influenced Mr. Shidy in
the discharge of his duties. The commis
sion, he said, was wholly misled by the
cunning and want of veracitv of Shidr. He
had no occasion to suggest to Mr. Shidy any
particular way of making certifications.
He declared that he never dreamed of
discharging Shidy because he testified
before the Civil Service Commission. Shidy
had never told him he (Paul) was violating
the civil service law. The rules made it the
duty of the examiners to report to the Civil
Service Commission monthly. He did know,
he said, that Shidv undertook to cover the
consequences of his laziness and indolence
and dilatory habits by making dates that
were not true. It was bhidy s blundering
records that caused all the trouble, although
he did not tbinK it was done witn criminal
intent on his part, but that his blunders
were innocent
INTIMIDATED BY EOOSEVELT.
Shidy had confessed to him (Paul) that
he was cornered and intimidated by the
commission and especially by Mr. Koose
velt, and Shidy had told him this in the
presence of witnesses. The commission had
never given him a copy of the testimony it
had taken, notwithstanding the fact that he
bad asked for it
To Mr. Hatton, Mr. Panl said he never
had access to the records of the local Exam
ining Board. Between the appearance of
the two reports made on the office by the
commission, Shidy came into his office agi
tated, and expressed regret at what
had occurred. He (Paul) subsequently
told Shidy that he would not
remove or censure him for his testimony he
fore the commission; that he bad done
right Subsequently a letter appeared in a
morning paper from Shidy relating to him
(Paul), false in statements and disrespect-
