An eastern Kansas preacher launch
ed himself into temporary notoriety
this week by renouncing the Bible
and his religion--then a day or two
later denying the remuneration. The
chances are that he Is a scoundrel and
a fraud and flittle value to Christian
ity. The weight OF the greatest
minds Of the age is in favor of the
religion Of Christ. The church is to-
day stronger, mightier and more
prosperous than at any time in tho
history Of the world. The vapid
mutterings Of an lngersoll lat $1,000
a Lecturer or the occasional rantings
OF a notoriety-seeker make no head
way against the forces Of the gospel.
