The name of the lata George W.

national notice a year ago. It waa
April. 1918, that Alfred Ruaael Wal
lace sent to hla friend. Professor E.
B. Poulton, a little book, printed In
1849. which he had Just received from
America, and which he said contained
some extraordinary "anticipations of
Darwin." Indeed, it also anticipated
several other famous men. It used
the word "agnostic," which Huxley
thought he invented later. It re
ferred to the -germ theory of disease.
and other modern scientific concep
tions. All was set forth ln a publica
tion yellowed with age, of which the

Recent Lectures
Written and Delivered by
GEO. W. SLEEPER.
Boston:
WM. BENSE. Printer. 184$.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Llnnaean society ln London, this claim
of Sleeper, who died In 1903, to Immor
tality in tha history of scientific
thought, waa made tha subject of an
elaborate report by Professor Poulton.
He had been investigating the matter
for a twelvemonth. Hla first lmprea
aion was that the Sleeper lectures of
1849 were a product of remarkable
sreniua: but his examination or tna avi
dence forced him to tha conclusion
that they were simply a remarkable
Take the matter of typography.
There waa a Boaton printer named
Bense; but none of tha Issuta of hla
press at all corresponaea wna in
alleged lecturea of 1849. Moreover.
tha manager of tna American xiv
founders' company declares that tha
title-page could not have been set at
the date claimed for it. "tho style Of
type used in aome of the lines being
designed at a much later date:" In
fact, he asserts that no such "face"
was In existence before 1870.
There remained, however, an Import
ant bit of documentary evidence. This
was the written contract for printing
the booklet made between Sleeper and
Bense. It had all tha external marka
of authenticity. Several Oxford au
thorities, to whom Profeasor Poulton
submitted It. were satisfied with It.
But Professor C. IL Firth, the his
torian, at once pointed out suspicious
circumstances. Tha paper, which pur
ported to have been signed May 18,
1849, had been artificially discolored to
give it tha appearance of age. The
handwriting of tha body of the docu
ment was the same aa that of the
signature of one of tha attestants. Oth
er deails were brought -to light, some
of them ln connection with a diary
kept by Sleeper and alleged to con
tain contemporaneous reierences to ma
lectures of 1849. with the result of
convincing Professor Poulton that the
lectures were forgery, and that the
lectures were roughly printed by some
amateurish workman at a- date much
later than the one pretended. In this
connection, it la significant Sleeper la
known to have dabbled tn printing.
Tha alleged Benae publication waa not
recorded ln tha Maasachusetta registry
office; no other copy of the work la

"Pupils' Economy League, Garrett
County, Maryland." Is the legend sur
rounding the Maryland coat of arms
on a button worn by the children of
the Garrett county public echoola.
In a bulletin Garrett county"a auper
lntendent of schools has explained tha
economy league Idea. It took form ln
order to stop the waste ot school sup
plies. Its primary object Is to maka
"pupils and teachers, trustees and
commissioners, principals and superin
tendents all realise the accumulated
loss due to continued carelesa destruc
tion of tha email thinga ln a larg-.
system where thousands of Individuals
are directly concerned."
This la an excellent device for bend
ing the twig. To our publlo achools
come the millions of children from
homes in which economy is not usually
taught. If this economy league can
make the children grasp the practical
value of getting the maximum of use
out of every article furnlahed them
they will carry the Idea back home; It
will atay with them aa they go out to
make homes of their own.
In Garrett county the league exerta
Itself dally both Inside and outalde tha
schoolroom. Tha teachers see to that.
Occasionally, too, tha league holds
meetings at which its past efforts are
reviewed and future opportunltlea aug
gested. From Garrett county, this ldsa
ought to spread all over the country.
I cannot Imagine anybody disapprov
ing It, and I can see that It ought to
have enthusiastic backing from every
body connected with our vast educa
tional system. And from the school to
the home. In practically every school
community, tha idea ought to ba
transplanted without much difficulty.
A child who learns that It Is worth
while to consider tha coat and useful
ness of everything put into hla hands
Is not likely to become a burden on a
community. Every waster la a burden.
Extravagance must be paid for. This
Maryland man has evolved a plan
which la perfectly legitimate to im
press on Impressionable minds tha
truth our children need moat to lean.
Regularly as this season rolls round.
Union Theological aemlnary gets Into
tha papers by reason .of the answers -Its
ministerial graduates give , to tha
questions of the examining committee. ;
The committee, be it understood, la not -
mads up of tha profeaaors of tha semi- -nary,
but of members ot tha New York '
preebytery. That la, active ministers
of the Presbyterian church paas on
the orthodoxy and fltneaa of aucb man
as tha church's college presents for
ordination. And there haa been for
soma years past a cry that tha semi
nary. is turning out heretics.
Thia year the examiners asked one-''
young man if be believed that Moses
aaw God on Sinai. The young man,
quoting a more authoritative part ot
the Bible, aald: "No man hath aeen
God at any time.' Asked If ha believed
that Moses received the pattern of the
tabernacle direct from God, the young
man replied that it was Impossible for
him to take so mechanical a view of
Inspiration. To the uninitiated.
these questions may appear extremely
futile, but to tha theologian the first
haa a direct bearing on the finality
of the decalogue, and tha lecnnd on
the whole system of types snd anti
types which has grown up in tha theo
logical attempt ta establish a auccea
slon between tha Jewish and the Chris
tian religion.
Another young man, aaked If ha ac
cepted the doctrine of the virgin birth
of Christ, replied that he would prob
ably find no occasion to preach it, but
that "he waa more than aver inclined
to believe it." If the examiners but
knew it, that was a most significant
answer, and typical of tha progress
to faith through doubt which has char
acterised the psychological history ot
the greatest saints.
But the point is, how do opinions on
tha pointa named contribute to a man's
power ln turning hia generation to
righteousness? A profound belief there
must be behind every achieving course
of action, but there Is a wide and vital
difference between belief "about this
or that, and belief "ln" certain funda
mentals. Many a man who ballevaa
all tha theological statementa made
about" Chrlat has no active, vital
belief "in" Chriat'a law of wealth, of
marriage, of brotherhood, of non-reaiat
anca or any of the other really distinc
tive teachinga of genuine Christianity.
Thesn young men, trained ln Union
seminary, where are gathered together
aome of the moat spiritual minds in
tha country, are going out to perauade
their generation of the reality of tha
spiritual life and laws. They are to
perauade men that
"It's wiser being good than bad;
It's safer being meek than fierce;
It's fitter being sane than mad."
They are anxious to give men their
teatimony that
"My own hope la, a aun will pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
a -
That what began best can't end worst.
Nor what God blessed once prove
accurst."
They arc to teach men the reality
of those' inner resources of strength
which maka for fineness of life. They
are to give the grounds of good hope
to men aorly beset by circumstance.
They are to arouse and nurture In
men such a faith In tha absolute su
premacy of the right that men shall
have courage to face the specious
frauds of wrong, no matter how delu
sively imposing they may appear.
And what haa tha dimensione of
aome ancient temple got to do with
that? What are aome biographical
details of a man named Jonah In
companion wtth such work? What
has a literary question concerning the
first and eecond Isaiahs to do with
moral regeneration? What have ques-
tiona of authorahip and date, of ob
scure vowel aounds and punctuattona
to do with the work of making -men
see th Invisible and maka tha great
adventure of conformity to the moral
laws? It ia hard to see what they
really have to do with tha work ot
the enlrltual leader today. Not that
any truth la to be disregarded, not
that doctrine is unnecessary, out ma
work of moulding the world mora
nearly to tha divine ideal exceeds them
all.
Suppose the young men do not be
lieve certain thinga who expects In
youth tha ripe experience, not to say
the ripe faith or age- faith la a
thing of growth. If these young men
believe sufficiently ln the supremacy
of tha spiritual side of Ufa to preach
it. If their conviction la ao strong and
natural and magnetic aa to weigh wtth
men and help otbera aee It. they are fit
for the pulpit: nay. they are needed
there; and tha cry of heretic has a
strange aound when uttered with re
gard to them.

Says Questions Unanswered.
Lacomb, Or, June IS. To the Edi
tor of Tha Journal Several daya ago
I asaed two queationa ln The Journal,
and a gentleman from Lenta replied
ln a wall written article, but ha never
attempted to answer my queationa.
The drys should realise that they w.ll
need several thousand converts if they
expect to make Oregon dry this fall.
and . they will surely . hava to adopt
different tactlca if they expect to get
them.
Mr. Huntington writes that the coat
of administration of a dry city or a
dry atate ia less than that of a wet
one. I'll prove that ha is wrong, and
I dn't hava to go very far from home.
When Salem went dry, what happened?
Our taxea went up three mills. When
Albany went dry the taxes rose one and
one-half mills. Does that sound ilka
cheaper administration under the drys?
The other day a little incident hap
pened in Los Angelea. which baa open
saloons, and It will no doubt ba of In
terest to our dry brethren: Tha city
dads of Loa Angelea. knowing they
would be short of funds for the pres
ent year, realized tha naceaaity of rata
lng $186,000. Thia la how they raiecd
this sum. Just as many cities have
dene: They raised the saloon license
from $100 to $150; wholesale dealers
license from $75 to $100; raised tha
cafes, restaurants, drug stores and
every other business that handles
liquor.
xsow isn t it a sname tnat when a
city needa money it always falle back
on the saloon man to provide It? And
does tha saloon man raisaythe pric
of drinks? No. Tr.e public wouldn't
stand for that and ln order to help him
out wa drink two now where befo.a
we only took one.
In concluding I would like to ask
