first thought to be due to malignant
diphtheria. Is now : believed to hav

mainder. It waa learned that several
chickens that had eaten th corn which
had been thrown away bad died. This
circumstance, together with th fact
that Mra Daggett and her son exhibited
some symptoms of ptomain poisoning,
has convinced th Lebanon physicians
that th corn caused -th deaths.

He spoke partly as follows:
"Ther are four , great points In' th
unconscious theology of Homer, God,
sln.a tonement and future Ufa Every
body has a theology ofsome kind. It
may be an unconscious theology, but
it is ther. I hav spent five years
andt housands in money, trying to find
a face, or nation, or a tribe, a family
or an individual without a religion. I
have not been abl to find one. v
Th whol human race, to say th
least, possesses an unconscious the
ology. Even the 150 Island of Fiji
sll together acknowledge one supreme
God. The theology of th human race,
uncensclous or conscious, believes in
God and believes In on God. Th whol
human race has for Its foundation In
all pagan teachings and all Idolatries,
th on supreme idea -of on God of
last resort. We also find In all nu-.
man races an Idea concerning human'
sin Bin 1 acknowledged, In one form
or another.
Then among th races of savagery
ther Is an unconscious theology ss to
on - forgiveness for -In.--1- It 4s a
Strang thing also, but I hav yet to
find a race or a trlba on th surface at
the earth but believes in some kind of
a futur Ufa ..-
"W all hav this, and In th case of
most, of us, th unconscious theology
suddenly declares Itself In tlm of great
danger. When th vessel Is about to
sink, then unconsciously th Infidel
orles unto God for-help. - This Is what
