SUBJECT THAT WAS DISCUSSED ApnoMlclim nnd tho I'tituro Triumphs of the Church Wits Ills Topic nnd Up. Maintained Tltnl Agnosticism Is Mend and Thnt It Was Conquered by the ClitirchIIo I.oolts l'orwnril to n Uny When There Will Ho Universal Itcliu'lotis Unity. Itcv. OcorRp J. Iuenf, H. D., of Hloss burff, In Collt-Be ball Inst night de livered the InHt of the kitIch of lec tures arranged hy llev. D. .T. MacOold rlck, the president ot ft. Thomas col lege. The hall of the college was well filled with an audience that followed with close attention the discussion of Dr. Lucas on "Airnostlclsm and the Future TrlumnliH of the Church." He treated his abstruse subject In a man ner suitable for a popular lecture and succeeded In making It very Instruct ive and entertaining. Dr. Lucas was Introduced by Father MacOoldrlck who referred to the suc cess that had attended t(lie lecture coin so. There ian a kind of progress In the lectures which culminated In last night 'h lecture when he said, the audience was asked with Dr. Lucas to consider the Greatest Issue that now occ'upl-'S the ntiiuls of men. "He will speak to you," said Father MncGoM rlck In conclusion, "of the principles of common sense as contradicted by the principles of not common Fcnsc." DU. LUCAS' ADDHESS. Dr. Lucas was jrfven a warm recep tion as he stepped to the front of the stage and Ithout any preliminary re marks he delved at ence Into his sub- srgfe HBV. GKCiHGi: J. LUCAS, D. D. Ject, beginning by a reference to God, the universe and man. Dr. Lucas said that the asnostlc In one breath tells us that he is Ignorant of the existence of these fountains of knowledge nnd In the next by an odd paradox would have us believe that he Is In advance of the enlightenment of the nineteenth century. "Tho physical scientists of today have made great advances," con tinued the speaker. "They have swept the heavens with their .telescopes and have not found God. They have ex amined the brain under the microscope and have not found a soul and because they have not been able to discover them by human agencies they doubt their existence and say that all Is mat ter. " egetable and animal life nre different kinds of matter but matter nevertheless and nothing else." The agnostic. Dr. Lucas declared, says tho moral law Is only a form of pleasure nnd If this was generally ac cepted morality would soon disappear in the quick sands of agnosticism and In his opinion It would be better that this age should be burled In the dark ness ot the Jungles of Africa than that such a belief should become general. There would be nothing to spur man on to the highest excellence. The speaker next referred briefly to the men whose brilliant minds for a time gave Agnosticism a dignified po ritlon In the world of controversy. Save Spencer they have all passed away and no one hus come forwnrd to take their places. .Agnosticism In Itself, he said, has departed. "WHAT CONQUERED IT. "By what spirit was agnosticism con quered?" asked the speaker and his answer was that the Catholic church had been the conqueror. He then at some length spoke of what the Catholic church has stood for since more than 2,000 years ago the twelve apostles were sent forth to conquer the world. The church had endeavored to make the world truly democratic. It found woman In a lowly position and It en nobled her, magnified the child und wiped out the distinction between the bondman and freeman. A new civiliza tion was ushered In, a civilization that Is never satisfied and for that reason mankind can climb upward and on ward and ever go to higher Ideals. The church of God knows no fear, for It Is quickened by a fearless spirit. Science demands law and order and chance Is the opposite of these, there fore when the agnostic says that chance or unreason were the cause of this universe he says there Is no science, no law and no order. "The church has made mistakes," continued Dr. Lucas, "nnd she will probably make some in tho future, but the mistakes of her human side should not be transferred to her divine side. If the agnostic can point out one single mistake on her divine side may the torch be stricken from her hand and may she be struck down by her adver sary. "The church conquered agnosticism by calmness, patience nnd resignation. She did not need to pay much atten tion to It for she knew their arguments would fall of their own weight. Bril liant minds like Huxley may dazzle men for a time1; but there Is nothing In this w"'ld as p&tent as'truthnnd slow ly, but sur'ely the'rrllst'of thpiunrenl and the fabricated must disappear as truth makes itself apparent. There Is noth ing more certain than that truth will conquer." -- 1 ' .'4 .- ;V UNlT,y:iN RELIGION. The speaker In closing his address said that the tendency In everything Is towards unity and he -looked for ward to the day when -theVhurch will take Iptp its. aris'af o'f tlie children of earth.' - His peroration was 'a' beautiful word picture of the pence and happiness that will overspreud the word In that day of unlvaiBai U'nltji. .

MANY CASES OF MEASLES City May Be Called Upon to Take Ex treme Measures to Prevent the Spread of the Disease. If what Dr. Allen reported last night at the board of health meeting It right and there Is no reason to doubt but what he knows this city will ere long be called upon to take extreme meas ures to allay the measles epidemic. During the month there were B28 cases of the disease reported to the board and, Dr. Allen says, not one In ten of the cases that exist are heard of by the authorities. Some families, when the disease llrst enters their home, call in a physician and in con sequence the house Is placarded. May be the physician will not be called to attend the four or five other members of the family who may contract the disease and these cases as a result do not reach the ears of fne board. The neighbors children take the disease, possibly, but Mrs. Smith tells Mrs. Jones there Is no need of sending for the doctor; that the children have the prevalent measles; that Dr. So and So says there Is no danger and here again there will be a half dozen other cases that will not be reported. In this nnd other ways Dr. Allen ar rives at the figures he gave to the board last night. He Is llrmly of the opinion that there were over 5,000 cases of measles In this city during April; that there Is an even greater number af fected at the present time, and that unless some extreme measures are adopted the epidemic will not abate. He said It would be necessary to close the schools as a first step, but the board thought Inasmuch as the disease was virtually non-fatal this measure would not be adopted, or at least not until It was established that It was Im possible to bring about the result by a strict enforcement of the laws regard ing Isolation of contagious diseases. Renewed efforts will be made along this line and of the returns show that these efforts nre not successful the ex treme measure will be considered. The board was called upon to deal with a rather delicate matter. Con nolly & "Wallace appeared personally with a complaint against Carr's meat boiling establishment, which they say fills their store with such an offensive odor that customers frequently leave, unable to bear It, and clerks oftentimes nre made so sick that they have to go home. The case was referred to. the health officer with instructions to ad- Just the matter as best he could, A communication was received from H. J. Gunster and John Schneider, a committee of the Master Plumbers' association, setting forth that the building Inspector on account of his manifold duties cannot enforce com pliance with the new plumbing code, and urclng that the board of health, out of consideration for the conscien tious plumbers, Insist upon the imme diate appointment of a plumbing In spector. The board directed Secretary Urlggs to transmit the communication to councils with the board's recom mendation that the office be created forthwith. The frightfully unsanitary condition of Luzerne street in the Bellevue dis trict was reported upon by Sanitary Officer Burke and the board resolved ti send to councils a communication urging the Immediate passage of the ordinance for tho sewering of that ter ritory. Secretary Brlggs" report for the month of April showed IBS deaths, which exceeds by 21 any preceding month of this' year. There were 168 birth, 85 males nnd 83 females. The number of contagious diseases reported was 569, of which" measles numbered G28, scarlet fever 9, whooping cough 6. diphtheria 22, typhoid fever 2, membraneous crou 1, chicken-pox 1. There were 13 deaths from measles, 6 from membraneous croup and 2 from diphtheria. Only 1)9 marriages were reported, tho Lenten period having had a depressing effect on the hymenal market.

TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED MEMBERS It Wns Itcnd by C5. W. llcncdlct, Clerk of the Sessions Meeting Wns Opened by n Prayer by Itcv. .tlr. Whnlcvt Former t'nslor, Who 11c fore the Close of tho Uxcrclscs Cnvo Some Personal Itcininlsccuscs of Ills I'nntorntc. The anniversary of the Providence Presbyterian church was further com memorated last evening In the vestry room of the church. The services were opened by the singing of a hymn, fol lowed by prayer by He v. Jlr. Whaley, a former pastor of the church. G. Y Benedict, clerk of the session, then gave an nddreBS, which was as follows: To many this service, devoted to ihe necrologlcal record of the church, may seem to be a sad one. We do not think It Is necessarily to be viewed In that light, for Is not tho fact that Jesus 4H4H a reward of $5.00 for in- the conviction of any per- the owner's consent, muti- I i-H1Hi-H- Christ conquered death and robbed It of Its sting. The most glorious truth or our religion in fact, tho fundamen tal principle of our Christian faith Is that St. Paul could say, and every Christian enn say: "Death Is swal lowed up In victory." "O death, where Is thy sting? O grave, where Is thy victory?" The sting of death Is sin, and the strength of sin Is the law. But thanks be to God, which glveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. And the angel told John to write: "Blessed are the dead who die In the Lord." IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. And so we come to this ssrvlce with the assurance that those whose names we read tonight from our church roll are also written In the Lamb's book ot life, and though not worshipping here with us In this earthly temple, are still julnlng in the song cf Moses and the Lamb In the church of the first-born In heaven. During the fifty years of the church life, eighty-one of out members have gone to their eternal reward. Some of them we have known as prominent citi zens and conspicuous Christians, whlls others, whose names we read, have hardly been known as connected with the Christian church nnd work. Some have been observed by all as bught llowers In the garden of the Lord; and some Christian lives hae been growing In solitude, covered with the leaves of domestic care and the humble duties of life, so that like the lrbutu of early springtime. It requires the lifting of the leaves of time to repeal the beauty and fragrance which has neverthe'Ms been ascending as sweet lncmse to heaven. And these have gone to tbt realiza tion of the assurance that "eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath It entered Into the heart of man theN things that God hath prepared for those who love Him. ' And yot Ihev still belong to the church the church triumphant In heaven. Of the four stated pastors during the fifty years, two are devl, Rev, Joseoh Barlow, who was burned to death not lorg after the beginning of bis uastor ate, and Rev. James B. Fisher, who died a few years ago. Of the fifteen ruling elders, three, Jonathan R. Wlnt, Nathaniel B. Hutchlnsoi- and Elijah Weston, dltd while serving the church faithfully and well. Three others, Ros vell E. Marvlne, Joseph Crane and Da vid T, Morgan, all belovsJ fellow work ers for Christ and ths church, were dismissed to the Green Ridge church before their decease.
