Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-16
SECULAR SHOTS AT II ruirir,

s.. Louis Republic: Humorist Burdettt
has not only married a rich widow, but he
has been called to fill a Presbyterian pulpit.
II he can manage to extract any humor out
OF the situation, his congregation Will never
find 1t out.
Nashville American: There's No Room
In Hell" was the subject of a sermon
preached the other night by a Jackson
minister, Millions of trembling souls viii
be glad to hear this latest bit OF news from
that region Of terror. We hope it is Off
cial.
Cincinnati Tribune: Most Of the London
clergymen are preaching and praying for
the failure OF the experiment Of Sunday
papers in London. But it's vanity. The
papers will do good, and in the end the
ministers will recognize the fact.
Springfield Republican: THE question
confronting the Christian people Of the
United States" said Rev. Or. j. Lansing
Burroughs of Augusta, Ga, the other day,
lis shall we so in and possess these lands2'
He referred to the Philippines, and declared
that we should go in If 1t took the sword to
open the way. In other words, shoot the
gospel into them, If the church can stand
this sort of talk the world can.
Baltimore American: A church in Ohio
has adopted a rule requiring women to re-
move their hats during services. OF course,
there is opposition. The organizers of this
movement have not taken advantage of the
palpable way to enforce compliance, which
is not to issue orders, but merely to remind
the fair sex that originally women were re-
CURED to wear head covering to indicate
their subsection to man. This would cause
all hats to come off with n~eatness and dis
patch.
Chicago Chronicle: If Rev. DR.. G.. H.
Curren of haywood is ousted from the Chi
cago presbytery because he does not believe
in oyster stew socials and extorted contriou-
tions as a means OF church building he will
not be the first victim to misplaced con-
tdence in the efficacy of coercion as a means
Of grace. The average parishioner who pur-
Chases an alleged oyster stew at a church
social, on pain OF being blacklisted, has often
meditated open rebellion, but lacked the
nerve to assert his independence. Heresy in
any form may be dangerous, but in DR.. Cur
ren's case 1t partakes of heroism.
Rochester Democrat: Bishop Fowler of
the Methodist Episcopal church is not only a
great thinker and orator, but a man VINO
understands human nature, and speaks his
views plainly. Addressing some young
ministers at Newark he advised them to
marry, but not to marry any young woman
simply because the latter was pious. OF a
wife he said: Get one with good blood and
common sense, and she will get religious
quick enough. If she has only got religion
and no common sense she may backslide.'
Religion without common sense is not so
as common sense without re-
ligion.

having made notable progress during
the last fifty years. This Is largely due,
indeed. to the influence of western civ
ilization, but that does not furnish a
valid reason for schemes looking TO the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and partitioning of the
empire.
Commercialism and the spirit of pros
elytism are the important questions with
which the Chinese government now has
to deal. Most of the troubles in China
have been caused by the latter. En-
IRENE missionary zeal has often aroused
popular resentment and will doubtless
continue TO do so. But for this the gov
eminent is not at fault, for in every
treaty with western powers there is Il
liberation clause providing for the pro-
lection of missionaries. No government,
however, is at all times able to prevent
mob lawlessness. As to the spirit of
cOmmercialism, it is easy to understand
the temptation for exploiting so great a
market as that of China, with its popu-
latiOn of 3%JO,OOO,OOO to 4~OO,OOO.00O. but
the temptation should not be allowed TO
Wv flllNt every COllNlltIdllbu anu pun
ciple of Justice and right. 1t has al
ways been the policy of China, said her
minister. to treat all foreign nations
alike. They are all most favored ma
tons in n literal sense. The maintc-
nance of an open door" is exactly in
the line of her policy. But commercial
greed is not satisfied with this and is
scheming to benefit itself regardless of
the rights of others. Happily this can
not yet be said of the American people
so far as China is concerned, but we
cannot be sure that the spirit of COM
mercialism here, which is being vigor-
ously stimulated and developed, will not
sooner or later manifest itself toward
China as it has in Germany and Russia.
With an authentic history of forty cen
turtles, during which other great empires
rose and fell, China has an %unQucstion-
able claim to just treatment at the hands
of the civilized world.
