HI methods Jack and Jim were the pall bearers oreated a stir In metropolitan congre gational circles, and through Rev. N. D. Hlllls. D. Dm chairman of the na tional council, the. Congregational church as a denomination has succeed ed In securing the services of Dr. Daw son, who resigns his pastorship of a church In London to come to tho Unit ed Sales. Dr. Dawson represents what Is b coming known In Protestant circles In some section of the east as "the new evangelism." Hi method are new but simple. Refusing to attempt to refute the higher critic or even to or rue on Inspiration of the Bible, he would erect upon the foundation put down by the scholar anj constructive critics a better understanding of th scriptures and the nature of man. Knowing that preaching which Is to reach the maas of the people, no mat ter of what class, cannot In Itself con stitute a battle with the "higher critics," he answers their doubts by the reply that nothing they hav ad vanced concerning ' inaccuracies. In consistencies or contradictions In th Bible concerns the welfare of the amil of inan either here or hereafter. ' Still maintaining that successful Christian ity depends largely upon culture, h denies that it Is necessary to mastei the Bible in history, literature, econ omics and ethic to get the highest good out of the Christian religion. H' will not meddle with,, abstruse points which he i not Intellectually developed to grapple with, yet he believes he meanest mind may garner from the scripture as much as the greatest, al though the better . the understanding of the book the simpler Is the life and the less difficult sincere Imitation of Jesus. "There may have been two Isaiahs or there may have been twenty," say Dr. Dawson to the critics; "what ha thit to do with me, so long as I have the profound spiritual message contained In the book which bears the name of Isaiah? I am indifferent as to whather iJacon or Shakespeare wrote Hamlet so long as I have Hamlet; and who would 11)8111 that .a certain critical view of the authorship of 'Hamlet' 1k Imperative before one could b allowel to expound the teachinss of th drama? I hold to the old evangelical mepsiiee. although for me the shibboleth of ut terance may differ. I find myself at home in a Salvation Army meeting because I And there the vital knowl edge of Cod's dealings with the sou!, and the expression of a religious ex perience which I as old as the cross My mind concentrates Itself more nnJ more on positive truth, and my effort as a minister of Ciirlst. on the effi ciency of the accomplished purpose. I am much more concerned to save one harlot from shame, one drunkard from his folly, one prodigal son from his de filement of the far country, than t discuss those speculations about truth which after all interest but a few and are not helpful even to them." Dr. Dawson's view Is that of a very large percent of Christians, Protest ant and Catholic. The view of the aver age communicant Is that the proof of the pudding lies In the eating. The beneficial effect upon the world, np fal sa we know it, of Jesus of Nazareth is almost universally ' acknowledged; philosophers, historians and savants who do not accept his divinity praise his ethical system and Jay waa the mourner. It Is wonderful what Influence a small Astoria newspaper has In mould ing legislation after the legislature has adjourned.
