" Dr. Brougher stated thst he had been requested a number of times to apeak on tha subject, and he had carefully read and reread everything he oould get hold of, both for and again the ayatem.

''The eleemosynary tnatltutlona of to day havs sprung from the teachings of Christ. Before the Christian dispensa tion, there were no such Institutions as hospitals for tha relief of suffering.

Mr. Rader takes the stand that ths church which Is crowded by people gathered- together out of . curiosity will not succeed. People should sttend church from conviction and earnestness, not from a desire to be smused. That church which haa an earnest congrega tion behind It will be the on that will last rather than tha one that baa a vast congregation coma to be Interested or amused. r . ...

"I waa recently approached by a gen tleman who asked ma to slan a petition favoring high license. I told him that no man who claimed to bo a follower of Christ oould favor any kind of li cense.

C A. , yesterday afternoon, toM his audience that men who look for comfort - in, other ' teachings . besides Christianity are not only of no ass to themselves, but are a curse to others. Said he: 'Many scholars ara switching off to some destructive criticism of the word of Ood. They have discovered soms great -teaching In -India or soma phlloa- ophy from soma other country and set that up as tha standard of living. Bib lical criticism Is all right If It Is car ried on properly, but I refer now to the destructive criticism of the Bible. There seems to be somebody always standing on tha street corner with bis teaching ready to turn tha feet out of the path ofrtght to follow soma Joseph Smith, soma Mrs. Eddy, or soma slate-writer. These people who have gone off on a tangent, on a sidetrack ao to speak, ara of no. use to themselves and ara a positive curse to others. Tha fraternal order la another of the departures which Is likely- to lead -away--from right,- -I am not against the secret order, but I am opposed to H In tha place of a man's church home. There ara boats of man today who substitute tha. fraternal or der for tha church." . MOVE 1 THIRD AND OAK MOTIVES THAT DOMINATE Tier. H. A. Johnston Tells of Ruling Passlona of Mankind.
