when | received a call from this church
two years ago. 1t truly expressed itself
in these words. A door and ettectual is
opened unto me. and there are many ad-

Yet l believed that to me this was the
open door Ard two years have not
changed my opinion.
Il remember when | came here to

friend who was attending the Pan-Presby-

come here should l receive a call. He
said You will simply BE- burying your

while we have not reached power by

MAN UNIVERSALLY a SINNER.
\ Perfect Community WouId Dis
prove the Bible, snys DIR. Parsons.

"A Man That Is a Sinner" was the
text of the sermon delivered yesterday
morning 10 the congregation of the
Church of the Reformation, Second Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue southeast, by
the Rev Dr. W. E. Parsons, the pastor.
Dr.. Parsons said in part:
a pure minded person can safely go
anywhere on any errand of good The
innocent are clothed with security against
evil, and are free from the force Of
suspicion at the hands Of the captious
and faultfnding.
The man who is sinner is the uni
versal man. 1t means anybody, every
body. Sin is not theological word 1t
is an epithet often. They called Zaehariah
a sinner because they did not like him.
Calling names is never way of reaching
the truth or settling a difference of opin
ion.
This man was a sinner. not because he
had done evil. but because they did not
like him and his associates. They thought
he was putting on too many airs for a
despised publican. There is a good deal
Of human nature in the Bible. In order
to get at the real meaning o. a Sunday
school story one must read the human
nature between the lines.
There IL nothing in all the Bible
which does not become plain by this
treatment. The grotesque things are only
grOtesque because they seemed so at the
time. The harsh things belong to the
rude age The cruel things belong to the
age OF cruelty. when they did not know
any better
THE Bible will not be disproved by
saying that man is not a sinner. | Will
tell you how you can disprove the Bible.
Produce q community in which there is
no evil no poverty, no disease no envy;
perfect community such as men are
trying TO create at times without the help
of religion. Until then We must think
sin reality, and can save ourselves the
lime and trouble necessary to prove the
truth ot history.
The Bible does not represent n sinner
as so totally a sinner that there is no
kind of good in him at all. We have
often made that mistake. We have paint
ed men so black. so bad, that they would
not believe Us. If you went to have your
picture taken and the artist produced a
monstrosity. a caricature, something that
did not look like you at all, you would
reject the work, and justly. You would
say, i am not a professional beauty, |
am willing TO admit; but l do not look
like that. My best friend wouldn't recog
nize me. and my worst enemy would con-
cede that | was not quite so horribly ugly
as you have made me-
So good many people feel about the
doctrine Of sin and depravity-which
books call total depravty. though the
Bible does not so designate it. There are
a good many things laid down on the
Bible which do not belong there. This is
one.
We cannot convert men with a club |
That would be a short and easy way to |
convert a sinner-knock him down. But |
he would only remain converted a few |
seconds. In fact. II he proved to be the |
stronger of the two he would convert you |
by your own method
"A sinner need not be an utterly worth
less person. Indeed, il he had no good |
in him you never could get any into him
In other words. reach sinner by the

THE ALLIANCE COMPLAINS.
Comments on Lack of Interest in
Presbyterian Church Work.

The fourteenth annual report of the
Presbyterian Alliance Of this city was dis
tributed at yesterdays services in the va
rious churches of the denomination.
The authors of the document, it appears.
are not completely satisfied with the work
accomplished during the year. and to a
certain extent. are complaining of a lack
OF interest in the work of the church.
The new suburb, Bloomingdale, in the
opiEion Of the board seems to have been
neglected, and evidently referring to the
new Catholic parish of ST. Martins, the
report says:
In view of the activity OF some Of the
other denominations Of cur city. in NOV
ing to occupy a part OF the rapidly grow
ing field in Bloomingdale. a few squares
north Of the lexington Church, it seems
to your board that the members Of our
denomination should at least make the
slight effort required to enable this
church TO maintain the leading position
it now holds in that section Of our city"
Apparently 10 cOunteract the bad i'm
preston which this statement was liable
TO make upon the reader, the board in an
other part Of the report said
The energies of the board have been
the work already in hand. II has not been
deemed wise to take up any new work
though several inviting fields have been
brought to its attention. as. for instance
Brookland where a free site has been Of
fered"
In conclusion, the report dwells on the
inactivity Of the members of the faith in
the following language:
Your board believes that the alliance
should take a more aggressive. position,
and push forward in the occupation of one
or more OF the unoccupied fields that are
inviting US to plant the Presbyterian ban
ner. And we therefore urge that a Wig
orous effort be made TO lift the compare
lively small obstacle which stands in the
way CT our forward movement"
The receipts OF the alliance during the
past year have amounted to 81 ,2S6 40. and
the disbursements aggregated the sum of
S634.15 leaving a balance en- hand amount

SO far as present conditions will
permit of the decision the leaders
of the State Democracy have
practically settled upon State Son
ator j. &. Sims as their candidate
for governor. Sims is man of
clean record and excellent reputa-
ton in public life. His genial
personality and amiable dignity
win friends for him easily and he
is recognized az possessing much
political strength. AS chairman
of the Democratic State central

party leaders all over the State
and most of them are numbered
among his political friends.
