PASTOR QUITS; SAYS
CHURCH IS INSIGNIFICANT
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., Juno till.
Rev. F. C. Km not, pastor of the Second
Fnitniian church hero, , is toiluy mak
ing arrangements to go on the lecture
platform, and the congregation of the
church is prepariug to sell the property
nid disband.
Nmoot preached his last sermon yes
terday," uud his scathing ariiirgnmeut of
present-day-theology is the talk of the
ity today. He said that the chnrch of
today is far behind the times and. is
laily becoming more insignificant in
the )ife of nations. It was Smoot 's
loft lines that led to his rupture with
his congregation.
'There is little room in the church
for original thinking," said Rev. Smoot
in his sermon. "Xo matter how much
they may disehiim it, the different de
noin inn t inns are founded upon certain
sets of religious doctrines. In the na
ture of the case, absoluie liberalitv is
:t figment of the iinnginat ion. The
hurehes are doing some good, but they
ire filling a diminishing place in the
life of communities. The church has
ilways followed in the wake of eeouom
and scientific discovery and has
ticwr, to any great extent, led in moral
or economic reform.'

Until a few days ago the commission
