SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Chicago Tribune: 1t is not marvellous
that in this day of light and knowledge
any sane person can swallow the bias
phemous assertion of hypnotizing
Messiah" that he holds Il power from
God to perform miracles in curing sick
persorsI But there does not seem to be
any limit to human credulity.
New York Tribune: The story of an
old man building Pennsylvania church
with his own hands and willing his nm
paid wages to the congregation suggests
Middle Age romance more than nine
tcenth century commercialism. There
are many generous men now, hut when
they want To build church they gen
orally draw a check for the amount and
let others do the work. The old mans
devotion recalls the stone carving Of
monks and he did not even have IA re-
igious community to encourage him in
his work.
New York Advertiser: The church un-
mistnkabiy needs more of the spirit of
it, founder. 1t needs 10 think less of lis
own merits and Of its antiquity rs an
organization, and TO fix its attention
more strcnuousy on the one great object
for which IL was instituted upon this
earth-thc emancipation of mankind from
the enslavcment of inluity and the deg
radntion of sin. DIR. Rainsford is right
when he says: Build your most beaut-
full churches where the poor I've and

But the good people of the vicinity are
