a Connecticut Baptist minister de-
livered vehement attack the other
day upon the Newton theological
seminary and the Chicago university
declaring that they were "hotbeds of
heresy. Their instructors lead the pu-
pills from the solid foundation of the
old theology to the shifting quicksand
of the new so-called scientific reli-
gion." Pres. Harper was asked his opin
ion of the outbreak. and he replied:
Such an outburst as this is abso-
lutely unwarranted. There is no her
esy in the university teachings. We
are not taking the young student and
filing his mind with scientific teach
ings which shake the solid foundations
of the old theology as is charged by
Mr.. Hanna. We do not ask or endeav-
or To influence students to give up the
old orthodox ideas. and whoever says
we do is irrational. 1t is quite true
that we teach students the scientific
as well as orthodox principles. We
teach them ali well-educated man
ought to know. but we leave them to
form their own opinions upon religion
as well as other subjects.
1t will be a sorry day when the
Christian church is ready to confess
that il cannot stand the light of mod
ern scientific knowledge and historic
investigation. Such "bothersome ia
natics" are only hurting their own
cause

a meaning that can only be consider
ed contemptuous?

What does the man mean, when he
speaks of the people who are made
to serve? Does the doctor mean TO
insinuate that none are to be work
ers. but all employers? Does he mean
To- bark back to the early days of the
world. when every man was supposed
to produce all he needed to sustain
existence. and does he mean to dis
card all that the world has learned
in the way of economic organization of
industry? What does the man mean?
His vehemence obscures the sense, if
indeed there is any sense to be OBJ
scured.
The American workingman today is
the most independent being on earth.
He is the greatest capitalist. and his
capital is the most secure. He is the
only economic factor that can dictate
terms. All economic organization is
founded on the wage scale. That comes
first of all in the calculations of cap
ital.
DIR. Fisk characterizes the organizers
as the enemies of the poor" The
worst enemy of the poor is the brawl-
ing demagogue. Jesus. the greatest
democrat. who is quoted to sustain
the spurious religion of the anarchist
commanded his followers to love"
DIR. Fisk and men like him cry unto
their followers, Hate. hate-you have
a grievance. although you do not know
it-warm it-let your prejudice dis
till to bitterness and your malice
rankle-you are oppressed-you are
despised-prepare your venom-you
shall he masters-you will not have to
toil-those who have trodden you I'M
der foot shall be your slaves-rise.
and crush your tormentors,"
The appeal is not to reason, not to
the truth that is in men. but to the
brute in them. Such men as these
are the honest laboring mans most
dangerous. because most insidious, en-
envy. 1t is to be regretted that any
Christian minister should lend himself
to aid in the propaganda of one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS and self serving
demagogues that ever sought high Of
flee in the American republic.

What is the truth? Far from being
'despised. - ''ostracised," ''stigmatized

day is king. The man that works

his mercy.

strain. the preacher says:
All despising of labor roots itself

The groundwork of all public in
struction should be training in the use
of the English language. Yet the def

respect is indicated by the failure of

country. No schooling is efficient un-
less it enables the pupils to speak and
write correctly the dominant language

What is the truth of all this? In
the first place labor and the laboring
man are not despised. and the man
who endeayors to create antagonism
between the workingman and the en-
ployer on such grounds is either dis
honest or ignorant. The real assault
upon the much talked of dignity of
labor is made by the demagogue who
thus degrades his audience. not by the
man who pays the workingman's wage
each Saturday night at a rate never
before equalled in the history of the
world.

characterize as whim-wham the twad-
