Topeka March 25.-The initial number
of the Kansas Knocker, a magazine pub
lished here by J. F. farrell and Myron
A Waterman, local newspaper men, con-
tains an article by John J. ingalls, on
The Jesus Business. a 1T follows:
Il knock on this Jesus business, and
knock hard. l belong to no church and
subscribe to no creed but | believe in
God and Immortality and that we shall
reap what we sow here and hereafter
Il recognize religion as a prodigious
force in human affairs and Christianity
as one of its most impressive manifesto
tons. While other religions are older and
have endured longer and have more fol-
lowers; none has exerted such immense
influence upon government, society and
civilization Its sanction rests entirely
upon the example and teachings of Jesus,
for whom theologians claim much more
than he ever claimed for himself
He was poor. He had no education. His
life to the age Of thirty was passed in
manual labor. His associates, male and
female, were ignorant and obscure. His
public career was less than three years
He wrote nothing He wandered about in
the fields, among the mountains and by
the sea talking Familiarity to his compan-
ions, TO chance acquaintance and at pic
mics and camp meetings. His recorded acts
and words would not fill five newspaper
columns and were not collected till many
years after his death.
Whatever opinion may be held as to
his divinity, he is one OF the colossal fig
ures of history. Plate and Herod and
Caesar, the kings and heroes and philoso-
pliers of that time are nothing. No one
cares that they lived or died, but mil
lions now would die rather than sur
| render their faith in Jesus.
What Jesus would do were He in Kan
sas to-day can best be determined by
considering what He did when He was
| in Nazareth and Capernaum 1870 years
| ago. He attended strictly to His own bus
! mess. He did not NEEDLE in other peoples
affairs. He only sought to establish a
| spiritual kingdom, and his empire was in
| the hearts of men.
"He told his followers to render unto
| Caesar the things that were Caesars. He
neither bought nor sold nor interfered in
politics. He said that all men were broth
ers, that God was their Father, and that
they should do as they would be done by
Ecclesiastical mountebanks who are
directly responsible for the blasphemous
buffoonery of asking how Jesus would
shave if he were a barber; what he would
do if he had a headache; how he would
run a daily newspaper; how he would act
if he were in Gen. Buffers place in South
Africa, are in1ictug irreparable injury
| upon the cause of religion. They make a
joke of the passion of the Garden of
Gethsemane and cast contempt upon the
agony of Calvary.

ask what God would do. 1t is Decorating
