Topeka Daily Press.
1t is an old story and the time is
wasted when newspaper advocates
tolerance. The Rev. Botkin at Belle
Plaine took occasion In a lecture TO
condemn certain things which seemed
to him oppressive.
His listeners In several cases be-
came yexed and left the house.
When an audience goes to hear a
lecture or speech, it is to be expected
that some things will be said which
do not meet the views of all. Because
a man sits quietly and hears the
speaker out, no one can accuse him
of accepting all that he hears as the
truth because he does not protest
then and there.
As well might a reader throw his
newspaper or book into the fire be-
cause he reads something contrary to
his preconceiyed notions. Differences
Of opinions are necessary. II every
one thought alike there would be no
room for investigation. The race
would die mentally for lack Of fuel to
sustain the intellectual growth.
A liberal education consists in the
ability to hear and reason without
prejudice. Tolerance is the nearest
synonym which can be expressed for
liberal education. The man who
cannot sit and listen to a new
thought, or false reasoning or even
false statements without losing his
temper Is an object Of ridicule.
No wonder the church was filed
with smothered laughter, where
grown men interrupted the speaker
and urged the audience to leave the
building while Rev. BOtkin was pro-
claiming a few Of his harmless hob
bies.

The editor of the VOICE seems to
have been drawn into the Belle
Plaine church muddle, growing out
OF Bro. BOtkin's lecture. For the
benefit of those who think we had any
sinister motives toward the peace and
quietude of the good people of that
city by our attendance at the NJ. E.
church on that eventful evening, we
have but this to say. We had fire.
quently heard Of the excellent lect.
ure given by Bro. Botkin on "Our
Country's Perils. bnt had never had
opportunity to hear it. We learned
only couple Of days before its deliy-
cry at Belle Plaine Of the appoint
ment there and determined that if
nothing prevented we would 90 down
and hear it. Accordingly we drove
down to Belle'Plaine Monday evening
for that purpose. Col. ]. W. Forney
seemed to be very much surprised to
see us there,.a he'stated in the Belle
Plaine News last week. Well. we
were there by the merest accident.
and as we try to doat all public meet
ings we behaved ourselves as best we
knew how, and we are of the opinion
that if Col. Forney had done the same
there'would have been no excitement
there on shat occasion. We we're
very much pleased with the lecture
and glad that there are men that
have the scOurage to pattern after
their blessed Master in condemning
evil in high places and in dissenting
from the righteousness of things as
they exist simply because they do
exist.

Since the occurrence OF the Belle

has been deluged with letters, com.

nent district Judge Of this state wrote
him the following letter:
Rev. J. D. Botkin, wellington, Kan
sas.
Dear Strand Brother: | have Just
read In the morning papers that you
have been lecturing In a church at
Belle Plaine, and that you said some
thing that savored OF politics. Ny
brOtherl l am afraid that 1.-The gos.
pei" has been bestowed upon you in
vain. Are you not one OF the "Ec-
clesia"? and have you not been cruel.
fed TO the world? II called out from
the world and cruclfed to IL, why in
the deuce" don't you let the world
alones When and where by either
precept or example did your Lord and
Master say or do anything contrary
to the course Of this world? Are you
trying TO cruelty Him afresh and put
him 10 an open shame? Was not His
mission on earth TO have the world to
form and prescribe the conduct OF the
church? And did He not at all times,
without a single exception, hobno6
with the rich and green carpet gentry,
pat them on the head and call them
bully boys? Did He not at all
times coquette with the opprcssors OF
the world like street harlOt plying
her trade for the geld there was In
1t? As a minister OF the gospel you
certainly know that the Lord never
rebuked the world or any person in It?
Did He not always proclaim that the
world was exactly right. and that He
simply came to continue its Fighter
ness? DOn'tyou know that our loving
and merclful Lord never exercised any
person? In fact, when He saw the
perfect righteousness OF the world
"dident' He say that he was surprised
that his father had sent him to it?
And did He not tell his disciples not
to pray "Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done on earth as 1t Is In heaven"
for the simple reason that Gods will
was being executed on earth perfect
ly? In our words did He not tell his
disciples not to worry even little bit
about Gods will on earth, but simply
try and get out Of the world, into
some ''happy hunting ground" or
some Elysian field, or indescribable
heaven, and that the highway OF
starvation was very pleasant road of
egress? | am sOrely afraid that you are
getting as cranky as the Apostle Paul
when be said that he was always
"fr0ward" to remember the Door.
and will soon like him be exclaiming,
that after the way they call heresy
SO worship | the God of my fathers"
| have taken this special interest In
you, Brother Botkin, because the
Book" says that ''he that turns a
sinner from from the error Of his way
will hide a multitude Of sins and
thereby save a soul from :" | be.
seech God not to let you fall from
grace, or stand in the way of sinners,
or sit In the seats OF che scOrnful. or
walk in the way OF the ungodly, but
may He give you the Spirit OF our
Lord to speak and spare not.
Yours for the Kingdom of Heaven
on Earth. #++
