A HARP, STERN CHASE.
M'DONALD PROVED THE FAST
EST SPRINTER.
Read tho Subpoena to Coyne na Ho
Pursued Him Down Washing
ton Avenue on a Run.
Another effort will ho made this
morning to conduct tho adjourned
hearing in tho Mlnooka election con-
teat brought by the anti-Coyne fac
tion of tho Democratic party. An at
tempt was mudo to hold tho huarinK
on Saturday, but not enough sub
poenas had been served to warrant a
beginning. A week ago tho hearing
had to bo postponed because tthe
necessary subpoenas had not been
served. '
Deputy Constable McDonald, of Al
derman Howe's court, was given a
subpoena to servo on John Joyce, who
was the nominee of the Coyne ele
ment for school director. McDonald
searched for his man high and low,
but failed to locate him. Ho waited
around his home, waiting for him to
return from his dally toll, but he re
turned not. Tho constable reported
tho matter to court, and the sheriff
was directed to servo tho subpoena
upon Joyce if it took his wholo office
forco to do it.
Constable McDonald had quite a
lively tlmo in serving a subpoena
upon John J. Coyne, tho leader of tho
Coyne faction, but lie succeeded fi
nally. Ho saw Coyne enter the Menrs
building and tried to follow him into '
the elevator, but the boy slammed
the iloor in bin face. Ho realized that
his man would have to come out and
ro ho waited. Considerably over two
hours had elapsed when Coyno passed
by the constable, who was waiting In
the doorway.
Coyno turned and seeing McDonald
with the subpoena In his hand be
darted back through the hall way into
tlto elevator. McDonald followed him
Into the cage and bog.in to toad tbo
subpoena.
The gentleman from Mlnooka be
came irlrtnted and statteil for the
street again on tho run. Ho weighs
.".00, but is not bad us n, sprinter. Mc
Donald is lighter and managed to
keep up with him, reading as he ran.
Coyno turned down Washington ave
nue on a trot and MeDontld followed
at his side, reading the Mimmuns.
Coyne espied a South Side car, when
Lackawanna avenue was reached, and
started for It, with, tho constable still
after him and still reading. Just as
the portly politician swung himself
onto the rear step, McDonald finished
reading the last sentence of the sub
poena and had won the day.

SERMON BY
DR. M'LEOD
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ANCIENT
AND MODERN.
It Was the Flr3t of n Scries of Dis
courses Which Ho Proposes to De
liverScience of Christianity Is
Highest and Holiest of All the
Sciences It Is Opposed to All tho
Fnlso Systems of Religion for the
Reason That It Is Truth A High
ly Interesting Discourse.
Rev. James McLeod, 1). D., In tho
First Presbyterian church last night
preacnoa the first of a series of ser
mons on "Christian Science, Ancient
and Modern." Ho took for his text tho
words found In I Thess. C: 21: "Prove
all things; hold fast that which is
good." The doctor spoke as follows:
Tlil Is wise counel. No Chrlntlan teacher cun
afford to Ignore it. In attempting to unfold
tome of the doctrines ef Christian Science. I
hall endeaor to keep it constantly In mind.
And Ju.t here at the outlet allow mo to say that
I am a firm bellercr in Christian Science. It Is
the hlgh.st and holiest of all the science. It
cm claim for It. doctrine, the hlghet and holi
est authority, even that of Jesus Christ. Any
doctrine tint oan Uy claim to His authority
mint be Christian doctrine: and any doctrine
that denies or subverts 111 authority must be
un-Christlan. Christian Science, therefore, Is
Christianity, Hence to call something tint Is
net Christianity by the name of Christian Science
Is to call eril good.
It Is obvious to remark that Christian Science
Is not physical science. Thc-o tuo sciences
differ both In respect of their subjiets and ob
jects. They occupy entirely different He Ids. Phy
sical scl.nce deals exclusively with inatrri.il
things; Christian Science deals exclusively with
spiritual things. Ilie Ulble is the text hook of
Christian Science: the book of nature is the text
book of physical science.
Christian Science Is not mental philosophy.
It is not tho product of human thought or
genlm. It is not the result of human reason.
II was not evolved from man's Inner consolouv
ness, nor from a desire to satisfy the cravings
of the soul. On th contrary, Its origin Is Di
vine. It has Its source In Cod. Us doctrines
ore embodied in a Divine revelation, find tills
Divine revelation is contained in the Holy
Scriptures.
Agnln, Christian Science is not simply a theolo
i". All religions have their theologies: but the
gy
theologies of the Drahmln and the Duddhlst dif
fer as widely from Chrlstology as their abom
inable idolatries differ from true Christian wor
ship.
OPPOSED TO FALSI! SYSTEMS.
hristlnn Science is opposed to all false sv stems
of icllgion. for the reason that truth Is evermore
opposed to falsehood. There can be no commun
ion between light and darkness. There can be
no concoid between Christ and llcll.il. Hence
to baptise a false theology with the holy name
of Christian Science is a flagrant oiTcme. If It
does not espose the offender to the severe
charge of Moiling heaven's llver.v for a wicked
purpose, it does, at least, expose such an of
fender to tho charge of inexcusable presumption.
Christian Science then Is not a svnonyin for
any kind of theologj. Its meaning Is limited.
It repudiates all false theology, but It welcomes
and embraces all true theology. Its special
province is to nnange and set In order and un
fold the doctrines of the Christian religion.
The words of Aquinas, the Ingciio Doctor, may,
with gieat propriety, be applied to the text book
i'f Christian Science-a Deo doeetur, Ileum docct,
et ad Deum ducit it is taught by fiod, it
teaches Cod, and it lejds to Cod.
It is needles to saj that between true science
and tnie religion there never has been any con
flict. No conflict between thun is possible, be
cause truth can never be brought Into conllht
with truth. Apparent ronll'cts have been due to
lack of Knowledge, ltellgion Ins sometimes
looked at science with a Jealous e.ve, and science
has too often looked at religion "through a
glass, duUy." Hut when the mists were cleared
awaj-, and when opportunities were afforded
for a clearer and fuller vision, religion honored
science, and science became the hand-maid of
religion; and as it Ins been In the past so will
it be in the future, liur, in the end, all other
sciences will pay their homage to Christian sci
ence. OT A NEW DISCOVERY.

With these preliminary remarks let us note
ome truths tint the Hlbl.-the tet book of

a "tool" will dare to deny flod'.s existence and
ay: "There Is no tiod."
EXIGENCE OF tiOll.
'. The Ilihle leaches us the pre-exlstcnce and,
therefore, the Independent existence of fiod. Its
doctrine Is tint there was a time when the
eternal God lived all alone, and that He must
have lived alone a whole eternity. The llible
teaches us tint before theie was onv sun or

there was any llovvcr to bloom, or bird to sing,
or angel to admire Clod's glory or to celebrate

BAMi:
Ills prale, Ood was. I have ventured to give
expression to the truth in the following line.:
Ten million times ten million years
I If lore creation, morn:
Ten million times ten million years
lleforc tho Christ was born,
The Triune Clod was all alone,
Ills glory Oiled tho eternal throne.
Ten million time, ten million sear.
fleforo the birth of lime,
lhc bord of glory lived alone.
In majesty sublime, (
Eternal ages rolled along,
lleforc He heard a creature's song.
Ten million times ten million years
lleforc God was adored;
lleforc an angel spread his wings
Or seraph cvijr soared:
Throughout all space God was unknown,
All life and love wcro III. alone.
Impelled by love while yet unloved,
And while vet unrcvered,
The great Creator spoke the word,
And worlds on worlds appeared:
They circled round Ills glorious throne,
And then the Lord was not alone.
The doctrine of God's prc-exlstencc, whllo a
prominent truth of Christian Science, Is also In
harmony with right reason. It Is entirely reason
able to believe and to teach that the great First
Cau must, Himself, be uncaused, and that the
great Creator must, Himself, be uncreated.
ru'CKS up molt iioois.
This truth of both scripture and reason touch
ing Cod's pro-existence plucks up from the root,
the doctrine of pantheism. If God existed before
.11 worldi, He must have an existence that is
separate from and independent of all worlds.
It Is most irrational to suppose that the Creator
and Ills creature are Identical. It Is irra
tional to afllarm that there 1. no difference be
tween the Aiehlteet and the building, or be
tween the King and his subjects, rantholsm has
had Us advocates, and It still has them; but
Christian Science utterly repudiate, it. Our
reason assures us that the Creator mast have
an existence that is separate from and Independ
ent of Ills creatures.
It is true that the thought of God's pre
existence and of Ills living .lone a whole eternity
Is enough to make one's reason reel. But, nev
ertheless, this Is a doctrine of Christian Science.
Hie llible speaks of God as "the eternal God."
and as "the high and lofty One that Inhablteth
eternity, whose name Is Holy," and It speak,
of Jesus Christ as "the King eternal"; and it
speaks of the Holy Ghost as "the eternal Spirit."
Ihe Ilihle thus characterises the Triune God.
The doctrine, of God's existence, and of III.
eternity, and of Ills omnipotence are not bevond
the range of human reason, that is to saj, the
light of Nature is sufficient to force one to
arrive at such conclusions. "The heaven, de
clare the glory of Cod, and the firmament show
cth his handiwork"; and "His etsrnat powers and
God-head arc clearly seen" In Ills worlc. ol
creation. Hut for the doctrine of the Trinity
we must go to the Bible. Theie, and there
only, can it be found. We mut consult the
Divine oracles for a clearer and fuller revelation
ot the natuie and the attributes of Jehovah.
3. The llible teaches us that God is our
heavenly Father, and that He in a person as
distinguished fiom principle. Chemistry, and
gravitation, and astionomv are principles, but
they have no personality. To worship them, or
to ak their pinion, or to call any of thim
father w.ould be absurd. If, therefore, there be
any who arc to foolish as to believe and to teach
that God is "not a peison, but a principle,"
wc have no hesitation In saving that they have
not learned the alphabet of true Christian Science,
TEACHING IS PLAIN.
The tcirhing of Jesus Christ on this point Is so
plain that one wonders how anjbody can mis
understand It. All true Christians regard
C'hrK's decision as final. He tells us that God
Is Spirit, and that He is to he worshipped in
spirit and in truth; that He is pure and rerfect
and that all men should aim to reach that pel -lection;
that He governs the world with such
care, and with such watchfulness tint nothing
escapes His notice: that He notes the fall of a
spairow, and tint He counts the hairs of our
heads; that He Is Just in nil His vvai, and holy
In all Ills works ami that Ills love is infinite; and
that withal he permits and Invites us to call
Him our father, and, moreover, he takes de
light in calling us slnncis His sons and daugh
ter. II this teaching of Jesus be true, then
God, Ills Father and our Father, is a person and
not simply a principle. He is a person, more
over, who speaks to us and to whom we can
ppc.il,; who commands iu, and whos" commands
v,e arc bound to oUy; who is not far from auv
one of us, for in Him we live and move and hue
our being; who calls upon all men cverjwhere
to repent, and to whom all are responsible for
every thought and word and deed. To call this
God of whom Christ und Ills apostles have
spoken so plalnh, a principle but not a person
1 not only most absuid, but most presumptuous.
It Is not Christian Science, but a science falsely
so called that teaches that this is the Christian
(.oil.
Hut, nevcilhele-s, theie ire those who call
ihcnelvcs ( hrlstlans who seem to regard God
as a great liw, en- force, or power, a principle
rather than as a living, loving and most gracious
and meicifiil Father. We need to be leminded
now- and t lit n that tho God and Father ot our
Lord and Savior Jesus ChrUt is not an abstract
principle, but a living pfii-on and full of love;
and that He speak, to lis and tint we may speak
to Him and tell Him all out sorious and all our
jovs, and our heirt's deepest and most tender
secrets, 1 eannot pray to a principle, for that
would be absurd, but 1 cut pray to a pci-on,
especially when that poison is Almighty God,
my heavenly I'athei.

I Ian science cannot deal with any grander or
holier truth. All the attributes of God aic

The Bible gives to the love of God the most
conspicuous plaie, It Is a revelation concerning
Jesus On 1st, the Son of His love. Jesus UlinscK
proclaimed tho love of God In tcn.ii of great
simplicity and tenderness. He sajs: "God so
loved the woild," etc. "I lie llible, the church,
the history of Christianity and all tho ages of

ward to the Jovs of everlasting life becumo we
believe In God'is everlasting love.
Jesus Christ is the levealer ot God, and He
has expressed most clearly the wish of tiod
for a sinful world. Jcus Christ has Hlni'elf
told us the value of a human soul, and He hat
made known to us the way In which sinners,
whoso hearts are fountains ot evil, may beiomo
pine and holy, and reach the blessed Immor
tality. This Is the best of all knowledge, for it
i caches sinners not only how to live but how
to die, and how they may reach the heaven of
the holy. For this knowledge vve are Indebted to
the llible. Its doctrine of God Is the doctrine
of true Christian Science. Those who misread
and misinterpret, ami misapply tho llible doc
trine of God tho Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Ghost aro not Christian Scientists.
They miy call themselves bv tint name, but
thai does not make their delusion an approved
crlty, nor their iienlnico silence, nor tlieir erior
even though It be most sincere, sober truth.
Their sincerity Is something, for It saves their
character, but It does not ictlect much honor
upon their intellect nor much credit upon their
wisdom,
I have only touched upon a tivv points that the
Bible teaches coinciding God, but, although
few, they are most Impuitant, For, if wo fall
to giasp the llible idea of God, w.-7e liable
to be tossed to and fro and to be carried about
bv every wind of doctrine,
'in another discourse it is my purpose to call
attention to what tho llible leaches concerning
sin and Its remedy. Meanwhile, I am glad to
say that I am a (Irm believer In true Christian
Science.
