A PREACHERS Def.
Rev. Clark Braden Challenges
the Liberals.
DARED TO MEET HIM IN DEBATE.
Christian Science Touched Up by Rev.
\. +. Keever-A Missionary From
Liberia-Church Notes.

The Rev. Clark Braden delivered a tell
ing sermon, or rather address, at the First
Methodist Episcopal church yesterday
afternoon. He started in by q statement
that he would then and there throw down
the gauntlet OF Christianity against all
forms of infideiity.
He began his address by stating the
fundamental differences that exist be-
tween true religion and liberalism, and
pleaded that in the discussion of all mat
tiers of such vast importance to the human
race that fairness, intelligence and reason
DO used. He argued that the master
minds of this and other generations had
been men who bowed in submission to
Christ He said that he could prove that
Ingerso!l had stolen bodily several pages
of his article on the Mistakes of Moses"
from Heckel, an author who lived nearly
Q century before his day and time.
The speaker then branched off to show
that the liberal could attempt to destroy,
but never had the power to build up. He
said fool could light a match that would
burn down Seattle, and yet did not have
the power to earn loaf of bread for him.
SELF He then addressed himself to the
Secular Union of this city, and said that
he challenged any of them to argument.
He would treat them fairly. but if they
attempted abuse he could play at that
game, too, and would give them perhaps
just little better than they sent.
The speaker had evidently encountered
in his debates B. F. Underwood, a noted
free thinker, and in the various encounters
with that orator Rev. Mr.. Braden had
held his own. He referred to the authen-
ITCHY of the Bible and showed that it was
. revelation. In a most vigorous manner
he fought the theory Of evolution and
said that by going back to primordial
elements nothing could be made out OF
nothing therefore behind all pas: stood a
creative and superior intelligence, which
was God, and therefore evolution had no
pegs to stand upon.
The speaker closed with the statement
that tonight he would lecture again In the
came place on What Christianity Has
Done for the World" He threw down the
glove OF battle to the liberals and dared
them to come forth into the arena.
