DEFENDS REV. MR.. SHELDON.
A FORMER TOPEKA CLERGYMAN SAYS
HE THINKS A NATIONAL RELIGIOUS
DAILY WILL BE ESTABLISHED.

The Rev. NJ. e. Harlan, who for several years
was pastor OF the First Church Of Christ (Dscples)
In Topeka, Kan, and was Intimately acquainted
with the Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon. author OF I'm
His Steps," spoke last night In the First Church
Of Christ Disciples). Sterling Place Seventh
ave. Mr.. Harlan has been pastor of the Brooklyn
church since October. His subject I'm His
Steps: How Jesus Would Run Great Daily In
cidentaly, Mr.. Harlan answered the question. Can
an Editor Be Saved?' as follows:
1 believe that editor be saved; can
man who is a lawyer be a Christian A mans pro-
sion which is not sacred. Even the business of the
clerk is sacred. His figures are telling for right
eousness, and in that measure he is accomplishing
what Jesus would do
In answer to the assertion that Mr.. Sheldon's at
tempt to paper failure because people
went elsewhere, Mr.. Harlan replied: Preachers go
outside of the Bible for texts, but that does not
prove that the Sermon the Mount a fail
ure." Continuing the speaker sad
1t was very difficult for Mr.. Sheldon to run
paper a week as Jesus would just as 1t would be
very difficult for preacher to run church as
Jesus would and just it would be difficult for
you to yourself week as Jesus would
Mr.. Sheldon has been offered what seem to me
year to give lectures. He has refused because
he believes that he was, working out a problem
The condition of Mr.. Sheldons trip to Europe this
summer is that one shall be charged a cent to
get in to hear h his let td When he ,s on the
platform he is stagestruck Were he speaking 10
he vtn ns s o the psto4m %hen thn NIX
Sheldon goes to Europe this summer hope to have
him here SO that you may see him face to face
that he is most profoundly respected in his home.
Mr. Sheldon may have ideals beyond his time. but
One of the results of the issuing of that paper is
that It Tad h is or
have not the like since the Christian En-
deavorers went through the country singing. be
lieve that IL will lead to the establishment of
great National religious daily.

DIR. HILLS on HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
OWN PICTURE OF THEM OUT OF HIS
OWN EXPERIENCE

The Rev. DIR. Newell Dwight Hills in his morn
Ing at Plymouth Church yesterday
preached 1.-The Automatic Judgment Seat In
Man: An Outlook Upon the Problem Whether
Evolution Throws Amy Light Upon Christ's Views
of Future Punishment" He said in part:
Now, the very outset OF study 1t will be
of service for that the Bible, a hand
book of human life makes those general express
sons, heaven hell to stand Tor indefinite
variety either of Joy unhappiness. In the realm
OF science Ice Is definite term. and SO is fire. but
in the realm OF the soul happiness and misery are
terms indefinite and elastic What vast distances
lie between the happiness of child at play and
the happiness of a mother dreaming in peace?
In general, 1t may be said that the future life Is
taught through pictures and symbols. and the poet
John, forecasting the heavenly state, asks all cool
fountains to report themselves there. bring in all
that is sweetest in music. all that is most alur-
ing in tropic fruits and flowers with trees that
bear fruit every month. He who would under
stand this overword and would draw hope and in
spiration theIefrom must approach II through the
imagination that creative angel that out OF the
richest symbols in this life constructs thousand
fold richer forms of happiness in the life that is to
come But he who approaches this unknown city
Of God must fling away his scalpel and microscope
Half of the revelation of the life to come Is In
Chrsts teaching; and the other half is in the dis
cple's apprecative sense and admfrtng faculty.
Out of his experience every man must con-
struct his own picture of hell and heaven with
their penalties and rewards.
