to the state. Though the church and state
are separate there is a sense in which they
are indiSsolubly united The state pro-
tects religion in .he exercise of the freedom

state by cultivating national morals. Where
should the flag of our country float If not
from every steeple in the land over Prot

this, our symbol of civil and religious lib

religious freedom. We do err when we bind

Let it float there where our fathers placed

over religion which purities the state and
let both state and church stand together

A TALK ON WAGNER.
Special Exercises Last Night at Rev.
ME- DeMhurst,s Church.

Mr.. DeVvhurst's Church.
The exercises at the Plymouth Church
last night were devoted TO the rendition of
Wagnerian music and a talk on the great
composer by the pastor, Rev. Frederic E.
Dewhurst. The audience was very large.
Most of the anthems given were adapta-
tions from the Wagner creations and the
solos were selected from the composers
best known music. One OF the special
features of the evening was violin solo
by Master Thad Rich. The selection was
the prize song from the "Mestersinger."
Mr.. Edward NelPs fine baritone was heard
to advantage in "Oh, Thou Sublime, Sweet
Evening STAR from "Tannhauser."
Mr. DeWhurst in his remarks on the life
and work of the great composer spoke of
his own appreciation of the Wagnerian
music. He believed it was becoming more
and more appreciated by all classes of
people There was a time when the press
of this sublime work, but it is not 50 in
this day. Wagner realized that the day
would not only come when the notes of the
orchestra and the human voice would
blend together but that all the arts would
blend together in one great art. The peo-
pie are impressed the pastor said, with the
greatness of the idea wrought from Wag
ner's work. He referred particularly to the
great drama of "Lohengrin" and spoke of
the ''MeiStersinger, created by Wagner
in his resting time, after he had turned
aside from the more serious work of life.
The pastor urged that when one has
good motive whether it comes from Wag
translated that moment into some good
deed.

himself and the bench by accepting bribe
money to show favors to the accused in

his correct understanding of the law, and
has the honor and courage to enforce
them regardless of favor to friend or foe

To smash the Heavenly Trust.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
For a number of years the lay members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church have
been vigorously protesting against the ty-
ranny of the preachers combine" that
runs everything, ignoring the laity upon all
occasions, except when the dear breth-
rem will please take UP a collection" but
have been met by that fine 'shrewdness of
ministerial diplomacy, mingled with prayers
and amens, but not much success. The aim
of the laity has been for equal representa-
ton in the conferences of the church, and
such a move was voted on and carried by
an overwhelming majority of the members.
BY juggling of the bishops and preachers
the will of the members has been defeated
and their rights ignored. The laity must not
presume to want voice in the control of
the church; they must just pay the bill
the ministry piles upon them, "be good
and go to heaven when they die" But
even this does not seem to satisfy the mem
bers any longer. They want some rights
while on earth. To this end a large num-
ber of prominent members of the Methodist
Church have united in a call for a great
mass convention of the priest-ridden laity
to meet in Masonic Hall, Indianapolis, Sept.
Is, for the purpose of organizing the Meth
odsts throughout the United States for
grand fight for their rights. The indica
tions at this time are that the convention
will be the greatest affair of the kind this
country has ever had. Every condition is
ripe for this upheaval, The preachers have
turned a deaf ear to the just demands OF
long-suffering and wronged laity. The
church is losing caste and power in Amer
lea. Debts are growing and mortgages
flourishing on the churches as a result of
the preachers unbusinesslike management;
Millions of dollars are worse than wasted
on that expensive failure, the foreign mis-
sionary work while every dollar is needed

and cry for more. more" TO an already
overbufdened membership 1t has become
so that the way to heaven is like the way
to hell--it is so expensive that only mil.
lonaires can afford it. The forthcoming con-
vention is destined to smash the heavenly
trust and make the grand old Methodist
Episcopal Church free.

icaI Reader.
The study of geography as ordinarily pur
sued is rather uninteresting to the average
child. After he has found the places on the
map and committed to memory few dry
statistics concerning each--facts that he
forgets with the greatest OF ease-little re-
mains on the young students mind but
vague outline of the countries of the earth
and jumbled record of the.r Characters
tics. 1t is to put life into these dry bones
of study that Mr.. Frank c.. Carpenter, the
well-lknown traveller and newspaper corre-
spondent, has prepared geographical
reader, the first of a series, to be used in
connection with the ordinary textbook. the
volume relates to Asia, and he takes the
pupils across the Pacific from Vancouver
Siberia back TO China, south TO Siam, then
to India, Persia, Palestine and Turkey. 1t
is not a mere record of travel, although Mr..
Carpenter has been over this ground him.
self and invests his story with the life that
only one who has seen what is described
can give. In addition to mere description
of places he pictures the Asiatic peoples as
farms and in their factories. He surveys
the customs, commerce, government and re-
ligionS of the oldest races of the earth and
notes the changes that are going on in their
social and political life, with their possible
results. In short, he undertakes to give
direct human interest to a study that is
usually only one of places, and succeeds
admirably. The book is profusely illus
trated and is well adapted 10 its purpose,
that of Supplementing the work of the reg
lIlar textbooks. Published by the American
Book Company, New York and Chicago.
