The hot mid-summer convention of the International Dibit Students at Glen Kcho I'ark, Wash ington, I). C, In passing their now fa mous resolution, mude bo big a nol.se ahout "Hell-Fire ami Brimstone" that the old ecclesiastical line-Up was thoroughly routed and put to flight, and an entirely now formutlon of forces Is now in the making, it sure ly wan u big gun that was fired from Glen Kcho Into the cump of the stund phttcrs, ami the nolHe will echo and re-echo throughout the ccceslastlcal heavens for some time to come. On. Win. P. Hall. U. S A., a brave Indian fighter of the past, il calling for the public repudiation of the hell fire theory, claimed that to do so would create a situation In America that would enable thousands cf min isters to publicly declare what they freely admit privately. The 'desired repudiation was made and the gener al spontaneous response from mln iMeis of all denominations vindicates the general as an excellent tactician. Canon Henson of Westminster Ab bey. In confirming repudiation of the eternal torment doctrine of the "dark apes," said: "I think the American religious public Is generations behind us. although I don't say that indi vidual American divines aren't the tenuis ol ours." The famous H. J. Campbell, of Lon don, representing the Xon-Conform-Ist view,, said: "This seems to me to be a very belated pronouncement I don't know any clergyman here who believes in eternal punishment; nor tlo I think any educated clergyman has done sj for many years." Itev. Arthur L. Odell, a St. Louis pastor, said: "I do not know of any Presbyterian minister who believes or preaches this Idea. Of course, this literal hell was an Idea widely held In earlier years, but the church is breaking away from many of the con ceptions of past ages." Archbishop Ulennon, although evad ing the direct questions, leaves the Impression that the Catholic clergy no longer believes In literal hell. He said. "It's too hot to talk about such a subject today. As to wether Cath olic clergymen preach hell-fire, I will say that we preach the faith, and our faith is the faith of the church." Itev. David S. Phelan, editor "West ern Watchman," stated: "Catholic priests do not preach a hell of fire. The church has not taken a definite position on the subject " Kev. Dr. James W. Lee. of the Methodist Episcopal church South, stated: "I do not believe In a flre-and-brlmstone hell, and I think I have never heard but one sermon In whlth that belief was expressed, and that was down in Georgia years ago." Kahbt Adolph Hosentretes is quot ed as saying with emphasis: "The resolution passed by the Bible Stu dents at Washington ought to have been passed 150n years ago. I do not believe in a literal hell of fire, of course, orthodox Jews do not hold that Idea." The 'Christian Leader and Way" prints the following: "The "American Association of Bible Study has solem nly stated that there Is no hell. A conference of English ministers has adopted the same view. A few days ago the Ministerial Association of Marietta solemnly promulgated or in dorsed a like doctrine. In other words, the authorities of the Chris tian churches seem to-agree-that the old Biblical conception of a "hell of unending torment, of fire and brim stone, is illogical and untruthful." Pastor Mussel of London and Brook lyn Tabernacles says: "If the Bible does teach that eternal torture Is the, fate of all except the saints. It should le preached, yes, thundered, weely, i daily, hourly. If It does not so teach. the fact should be made known and j the foul stain dishonoring God's holy: name removed " Until the passing of the Washington i resolution few ministers could safely I publicly repudiate the hell-fire error, j lest they be charged by other minis-I tors with seeking personal noterlety, as a sort of unwritten code of ethics In ministerial associations forbids In- dividual action on this and kindred j matters. Now that the theological at mosphere has been cleared of a dis crediting and deterring fallacy the by many that strained Christians, and by many that strained hristlans. and possibly some skeptics, may be re gained to denominational activities. The resolution as adopted in Wash ington follows: Kesolved: That It Is the sense of the International Bible Students del egates here assembled, that we do not . find the Bible to tni;h the doctrine of a literal "hell-fir" ' or place of "fire, and' brimstone" for the punish- nient of the wicked; but that secular! h 1st iVy.'nf tiiii'ormatfoii. of ,'tyie-V re'il j cif'he' mit1enges rvets-' th?- facll that 'for various reasons, either wisely j Hrr'lmwtsVlyC .thaWtrltiV.'fif torment. ln--Vhell-fle" was added to the Gos- w&s&t! ,i,;ti,;r!vi Apostles, necessitating; manf J'ldlcui 1 lou.s..ijU;tiiiitatioils..clif JLhe 1Loi'.(sp-(Sf?'4e-.''Thcrrfo're?tntow-.tin4VseW edly repudiate as thoroughly unscrip- tUf.al t4F,'tfcuchlnV bf.n place, state orj con litlon of a literal "lake of f're and briniHtoneKTor ' the- tnrmont - of the wicked; anil'.' furt'h'rr. we Relieve EIITCSA SPECIALS FOR WEDNESDAY BUYERS Turkish Towels, 18x30in., each lie Fringed cnd cut 'corner" Bed Spreads, $2.00 values for . $1.48 Flaxon Lawns, 36-in. wide, in pin stripe and white, 30 and 35c values . . . . 19c Medium Welt Pique, 30 -inch wide, 65c value . . . 48c Ladies' and Children's high-grade Parasols 1-2 Price WE SAVE YOU 3I0SEY OX EVERY PURCHASE 1!

We believe that In this one act. they can Just now serve their readers better than in any other way; and be it further Resolved: That the secretary of this convention be Instructed and author ized to mall a printed copy of this resolution to every minister and edi tor in the fnited States. After a general and full discussion, the matter was put to a vote, and un animously adopted by the association.

The only Chi nese aviator in the world, Tom Gunn, made an aeroplane flight at Alameda with General Lan Tien Wei, former ly In command of the Manchurian army of the Chinese republic and now in thls country to inspect the Ameri can army. It was the proudest moment of Tom Gunn's life. American born, speak ing perfect English nnd thoroughly occidental in his viewpoint, it has been his ambition for the last two years to, sail the air for the cause of free dom. The general was taken one thous and feet up and carried through turns and dips in fearless fashion. When he set foot on earth he announced un qualifldely that aviation would be in troduced into the Chinese republican army Tom Gunn wishes to be aviator in chief. Only 19 years old. he Is re- i markably cautious for his years and began his apprenticeship in an aero plane factory, believing, as he said soberly, that "it is better to learn the business from the ground up than any other wav around." , Their Effect on the Digestive Organs Rexiisible for Many of the Season's Ills. Summer should be the period of perfect health, but impure water and milk, unripe fruit, and the tendency to indulge in acid foods and Iced drinks, produces a contrary condition In many people. The effect of the average summer diet is to constipate even normally regular bowels, and this results In disarranging the entire digestive sys tem. When the bowels are choked with the stomach's refuse, indiges tion is almost sure to follow, and the waste matter that should pass out through the bowels, not finding pas sage, ferments in the stomach and the poisons are forced into the blood, causing much distress and often se rious illness. To keep the bowels free, there Is no more effective remedy than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a pleasant-tasting bowel stimulant and laxative tonic that Is very gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner, and without discom fort. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin wl',1 quickly check summer diarrhoea by cleansing the bowels and remov ing the foreign matter that irritates and inflames the tissue. It Is sold In drug stores for fifty cents a bottle; a large family size, considerable more than twice the quantity, costs a dol lar. If you have never used Syrup Pepsin and would like a free trial bot tle, postpaid, write to Dr. W. P.. Caldwell. 406 Washington street. Monticello. Illinois. CATAKK1I CANNOT RE CLTiKU lih l.ot'AI.
