Harnack's characteristic utterances
lin his "Wesen des Christenthumsl con-
stitute a complete break with the whole
structure Of Protestant dogmatics. Ii
is formal break with the past, and, in
fact. is subversive of the fundamental
teachings OF the Ropan Catholic the
Greek, the Lutheran, and the Calyinis-
tic systems and the historical develop
ment Of these branches OF the Christian
church. Harnack's position can be
compared only with the auto-da-fe,
with which Luther, on the 10th OF De-
cember, 1920 burned the Corpus Juris

church The only difference is that
Harnack has saved the wood. The fact
that in the conservative and positive
circles of the Protestant Church of Ger
many, and stlll more in England, the
teachings OF Harnack have aroused the

understood by those who see how this
new essence Of Christianity depifves II
OF much that has been regarded as es-
sential to the faith. II is easy to UNI
derstand that so high thinking a man
as Harnack has not found II an easy
matter TO sever the tie that has bound

thing Is remarkable, namely. that this

AFRAID OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

A writer in the London Daily Mail
OF the 18th Of April says Christian Sci
ence Is about to become a fad In
Great Britain. Fashionable society al
ways has some amusement designed to
Ill up the interval between other
amusements. II 1t Is not "psychieal re-
search" with spirit-rappIng attach
ment. II is stunning" and When So
clety is tired of that, It takes to
christian Science" Among its recent
converts are the. Earl of Dunmore, the
Earl Of Tankerville, Mrs. Henry Mon
tague Butler, wife Of the master Of
Trinity College, Cambridge, and Mrs
Charles Smith, wife of the head master
of Sidney Sussex College. And hopes
are entertained Of bringing the new
faith to royal attention, through one
of the ladles-in-waIting of Queen
Alexandra.
In this country, the peculiar creed
has gained many adherents from the
ranks Of sectarian churches and the
leaders Of these have finally decided to
attack It. DR.. Buckley buckles on his
sword against It for a fierce combat, He
says that little movements may safe
ly be left alone to die Of themselves;
but great movements, which are strong
enough TO organize themselves into
powerful bodies, should be publicly
attacked and exposed, christian Sell
ence" he thinks, is not dangerous II
exposed 1t may become SO II Ignored
or II treated as II It were either ra-
tional or Christian. We shall soon place
in the possession OF Methodists the ma
terials for aggressive and defensive
warfare against this insldIous foe to
Christianity science and common
sense he says.
We may, accordingly, before long, eS-
pect to see a regular crusade COM
menced against this latter-day cult
with Methodlsts and Baptists leading
the onslaught.
II seems to US, however that this Is
attaching too much Importance to It..
| Persecution, however mild, will help
It along, rather than stay its progress,
The sectarian churches are, presuma-
bly, most interested In the doctrnal part
OF the system, and this is not any
more divergent from the true standard
than great many doctrines com
monty certified to as orthodox. II the
| Scientists deny the personality Of God
and the divinity OF Jesus, that is but
the logical conclusion from the highly
orthodox theological premises. II there
are decisions. connected with the sys-
TEN, these may safely be left to fade
away, as so many others have done
We can understand the alarm that
has seized some Of the churches, on
account Of the appearance OF this lat
est branch from the common stem, but
we cannot appreciate the spirit Of
bitterness manifested by professed
followers OF the Nazarene. and
that in a country that boasts Of
religious liberty, We can agree with
Mrs. Augusta stetson when she ex-
claims: shame on such bgotry Of
creed and doctrine that will stoop TO
malign and SANDER those who do not
subscribe TO a particular rituallstic
| Journalism" We recommend TO our
Christian friends the careful study OF
the wise words OF GamalieI; also the IN
disputable truth that those who have
been the objects Of persecution some
times have been wrong but the perse-
cutors have always been, and will al
ways be, wrong.

opinion from some OF our leading bust
ness people will be found In the News"
today. We direct attention TO them.
They are worthy of consideration.
AT the same time we ask the en-
ployers OF young men, in this city par
tlcularly to caution them against in
