BAPTIST MINISTERS IN
DEBATE ON SOCIALISM
No man that follows the teachings of
Jeaua Cbrlat can b a wealthy roan.
' Jeaua Christ and Paul were revolu-
. tlonlsta.
mma Goldman 'was a socialist when
he started, though stie may now be
an anarchist, but she is not so bad as
painted.
-The world is as bad today as in the
tttn' of Jesus Christ, and the same
problems are to be met only In a differ
ent guise.
Religion tnnst'be opposed to the state;
It must be- revolutionary.
.These were - some of the thoughts
evolved at the meeting of the Baptist
ministers yesterday which aroused a
warm dlseusr Ion. . Rev. E. A. Smith
or Arleta-read the paper on "The New
Testament's - Relation to the Social
Movement of History." The paper
brought out mucn ainerenee or opinion
NEGLECTED COLDS VRY DANGEROUS
: Jastructlve lecture mt X others' Con
- clan. Prescription CHven.
At the recent . mothers' convention
the meeting was addressed by a physl
flan of national renntatinn. The nrln
clpaj topicof his lecture was the neces
sity of prompt .attention to common
colds. . He staled that three fourths of
the dread diseases-of the present day
have their orlcln la colds.
A prescription i Is : given that Is
said to be tne most enecuve Known to
science for the quick; cure of coughs and
colds frequently completely curing the
severest cold in a day's time. This
is the prescription:; Two ounces of
alycerlne. one nair ounce concentrated
-ptn rompound, half pint of Ilrst class
, whlfkey; these to be mixed and used
In dowis of a tea spoonful to a table
sponnful every four hours, shaking the
bottle well each time. The ingredients
sre ohtalnani at any good prescription
drugs lot and -- easily mixed at home.
The t'onrentrated pine is a pine prod
uct refined for medical use and comes
mlr In half ounce bottles, each . en
closed in a tin crw top case which Is
air t'Eht. I sure that It is labeled
X"o?i entrated." there are othnr pine
rrratlons which are to be avoided. I
and the time was extendea ty motion
to accommodate those who wished to
state these differences.
Mr. Smith brought out several Inter
esting points, hinging his paper on the
historical fact that every social move
ment has been actuated by the teach
ings of the new testament; that every
revolutionary movement has been ac
tuated by religious principles. He called
Christ and Paul revolutionists, and Mr.
Scherstrom objected that they were not
revolutionary or devllutionary, but evo
lutionary. Mr. Smith held that their
ainerenee or opinion on trie matter was
merely a matter of definition of terms.
Christ as a Beformer.
The paper also contended that Christ's
socialistic teachings had merely to do
with man's relation to man and God and
Degan neyona tne temporary social con
ditions; that Christ did not In any way
condemn or try to remedy the immedi
ate social evils class distinction, Ro
man imperialism, women a degraded po
sition, or the tax question, because Ilia
thoughts were beyond these temporary
junii, uim no aisregaraea tnese ana
tried to bring about the remedy within
the heart of man. Mr.. Scherstrom sai.l
that Christ and Paul both treated of the
immediate conditions, but that Paul had
enough faith In the spirit of the gospel
to believe that the future would remedy
these evils, although they could not be
exterminated then.
Again Mr. Smith contended that re
ligion is revolutionary and must be op
posed to the state; that it could not unite
In harmony with the state, and must
always demand a change; that the local
ministers must always be opposed td
the city council and must constantly de
mand readjustment Mr. Scherstrom ob
jected that the council seldom enough
deserves praise but that when it does a
pat on the back should be given them
just as well as they should oe opposed
when In the wrong. . . .
Mr. Lapham also objected to placing
the social questions as secondary In
Christ's teachings and said they were
preeminent. He held that today's con
ditions are not far removed from those
of that day; that though we have no
chattel slaves we have the wage slaves
of today,- who may be even worse off;
thst the power of the sword has given
way to the power i of avarice which is
Just as cruel; and that the problems of
today must be met in the same way as
those of that time by dealing; with the
uean prooiema oi man..
World Growing Better.
Dr. Jordan asserted indignantly that
If he believed the conditions of todav
as bad as when Christianity came into
tne world he would be verv much dis
couraged for the efficacy of Christian
ity. He said the conditions 6f those
days had never since been equaled in
their darkness. He also disagreed with
Mr. Leonard's unauallfled statement
that no rich man could be a follower of
ooa, and some one suggested that this
wouia aepena on tne aennltlon of
rich man.
He held that what Socialism needs
PULLMAN
EPISODES
To show how oeoole are talking nn
the cars, as well as in the homes, let
us cite two Instances;
A Mrs. Moon of Cleveland was on a
train going from Denver to Colorado
springs. A not box caused delay. Va
rious topics were discussed. Finally
the conductor said, "I wish every one
knew of my recovery. I was given up
with Brlght's Disease. Look at me
now. -
Mrs. Moon asked him what hs had
tacen. Upon his reply she put the
name down and on her return to Den
ver put ner mother, who was in the
last stages of Brlght's Disease, n the
treatment. She- recovered.
And now another instance along the
same line. A director of the Cltisena'
Bavin its Bank of Detroit was traveling
in . juicnigan. in a conversation with
an acquaintance he told him he had
Brlght's Disease. The conductor over
heard htm -as he Was passing through
the car -, and , said, 'Excuse me, but I
had Brlght's Disease, and badly, too,
and got well." On being asked what
be had taken, he replied, "It Is made
out in California and is called Fulton's
Renal Compound."
t This decided the banker and. at last
reports, he was : on his fourth bottle
and getting such favorable results that
upon hearing that a friend of his by
the name of Vaughn, also a prominent
man In Detroit business circles, had
Brlght's Disease, he nt him word
about the Fulton treatment and ad
vised Mm to put himself on it with
out delay. And the latter is now on
the t:omrouno.
. e kldmore Drug Co., Third street I
now Is proper ' leaders and said that
Emma Goldman did harm to the cause
because she had not properly controlled
herself. Several cried out ' excitedly
that she ' was not a Socialist but - an
anarchist, but Dr. Jordan stuck to It
that she was originally a Socialist,
whose energies were misdirected into
Improper channels.
Mr. Smith finished the discussion by
pronouncing the .question to ' stand
where it was before .and he said that
the speakers had merely been ' airing
Individual views, and the fact stltl re
mained that the New - Testament was
at the bottom of all evolutionary or
revolutionary movements
Sympathy was extended to Rev. Mr.
Mlnaker on the loss of his church by
fire and promises of aid were made.
