THE MINISTERIAL SITTING
PROCESS.n


In his sermon in the Madison Square
Presbyterian church DR.. Parkhurst
made caustic reference to what he
termed "the sitting process" in bring
ing men into the ministry. and said that
while this process had it been used by
the Master In the selection of His apos-
ties would probably have excluded Ju-
das, 1t would also have caused thei'e-
lection of Peter and John and most Of
the twelve.
no many in the congregation it
seemed that DR.. Parkhurst had in mind
the recent reflections of candidates for
the ministry who had avowed a disbe-
lief in the existence of Adam as his
torical person. Many men, barred be-
cause of their inability to answer
Small conundrunas," DIR. Parkhurst de-
clared, might, If once in the pulpit, de-
velop into some of it's most brilliant
lights.
This difference of opinion about
Adam threatens to cause Il split in the
Presbyterian church. On the one side
are the strict constructionists, mostly
old ministers, who insist that Adam
was an historical character. Opposed
to them are the young men who have
come under the influence of the higher
criticism and believe that Father Adam
was a myth, a legend that may serve
to convey moral lesson, but still a
legend. These two classes of Presby-
terians came into collision in two east
ern presbyteries last week, and the
points at issue are being gravely con-
s!dered by the church authorities.
whose decision may bring harmony or
discord into the Presbyterian ranks.
The sitting process to which DR..
Parkhurst referred was brought to the
attention of the public by the New
York presbytery In temporarily barring
Vincent Noll from the ministry because
he was honest enough to declare his be-
lief that the story of Adam and Eve
and the Garden of Paradise was pref
ty romance. nothing more. The old
school ministers were shocked by
declaration that to them seemed to be
rank heresy, but they had not recovered
from their surprise before they re-
ceived another rude shock. For similar
reasons Gilbert Lowell. graduate of
YALE and Harrison *. Wright, of Union
College, were prevented from getting
into the pulpit by the action Of the
presbytery at Elizabeth. N. j.
The final decision of these three
cases will determine whether hundreds
of other young men who have recently
entered the ministry and those whose
applications are pending will also de-
clare that they do not believe in the
first chapters of the Bible. This Is the
most serious church question the Pres
byterians have had to face for long
time, for on it will depend whether to
accept or to refuse the doctrine that the
Bible was, inspired.
Here are the views that caused the
old ministers to refuse degree to Vim

idly-So there must be Something
IN Merit After All.

Fair minded people always admit it
when they find an article Of merit. Ii
it has done them good they want it to
help others, too. Thousands bear
witness to the wonderful curative
qualities of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
is the only preparation which pos
itively and completely digests any
good food you may eat. No one dis
putes the fact that some other digest
ants partially accomplish this result.
Peps!n, for instance, is found in the
healthy stomach. When 1t is lacking,
the patient takes pepsin and it helps
him. Butpepsin digests only album
inous foods, like meat and eggs. May
be there's plenty Of pepsin and lack
of the other digestants. Then it
does no good. That IS the trouble with
the other preparations. They don't
contain all the digestants. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure contains them all. 1t
digests any good food you want. You
don't have to diet. The feeling Of
fulness after eating is Immediately
relieved by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

DOUGLASS, WOODEN LEG.

The late D. De Forest Douglass of Springfield Mass, who originated the manufacture of wooden legs just before the civil war, twas particular about his dress" says the Republican" and It Is said that he wrought his artificial legs wearing as neat and careful raiment as he wore in public. His was a most cordial and genius nature, and he was an inter- esting talker. Naturally he had pride III his own special invention, which has been of so great importance.
 One of his favorite stories was or the tramp tree" This was a red willow which sprung from the staff Of tramp to whom the Shakers of Somers gave a meal. He stuck his willow stick at the edge of a brook, and there 1t took root and grew to a lusty tree, whlch MT Douglass bought and used in his making of legs. He had been curious to follow the fortunes of this tree. and used to say that 1t had the genius of the tramp nim- self for 1t was now walking over great part of the earth-in Australia, in Inoia, and as we'll over much of the Uniteo States.

Miss Alice Roosevelt.

The Associated Press brought the news last night that Miss Alice Roosevelt had cancelled her engagement to attend the coronation of King Edward in June or rather, that her father had cancelled 1t for her.
 In discussing the White House bulletin a number of prominent citizens In the lobby came to the conclusion that the President had taken adverse comment on his daughters announced plans 10 go to London far too seriously.
 "If the young woman were to be drawn into court circles on par with royalty' what of it?" remarked a lawyer.
 "It might have lost MT. Roosevelt half dozen votes in 1904. not more. If the President called of the plans of his daughter because of the demagogic talk about fiunkeyism. he Is not as much or a President as I took him to be.
 Imagine Grover Cleveland, the ideal Democrat, caring a snap for demagogues' While Cleveland was President. from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 and 1897. he was bold and buli-headed; but when 1t came to conforming to the customs or etiquette of foreign countries. no old world mon arch could have been more gracious or could have paid more attention to pune tilio. He wrote and sent gifts to kings and queens and to the Pope, and his let ters were always phrased In warm II suited diplomatic English. And what cared he for the criticism of block heads and kickers? Nothing at all. He just went ahead his way.
 Perhaps President Roosevelt may have had good reason for holding his daugh- ter back, but without knowing the par ticulars the public will naturally think 1t is a case of scare"

Nineteen hundred was a year of un- common prosperity. Nineteen hundred and one was even a better year; and this year of 1902 promises to be d 1fSesssqPrd-breaker, 1SssP
 If there is any line of industry or commerce in the Birmingham district that is not flourishing now it has not been reported. The furnace com panies find it clfficut to keep up with the demand for iron. The steel mill at Ensley is taxed to its utmost ca pacity. The manufacturers of finished products are all busy. The lumber dealers, the brick dealers and the dealers in all sorts of builders sup plies are pressed with orders. And every man who has anything to sell can sell it at profit.
 The best of all this era of prosperity is that it comes unaccompanied by what used to be known as a boom. There is business enough and work enough for everybody, but there is no imitation of values.
 A notable and encouraging fact in Birmingham's prosperity is the steady increase in the jobbing trade. A few years ago it was said by many per sons that Birmingham could never es- tablish a wholesale mercantile busi. ness. It was said that the transporta. ton companies, in fostering heavy traffic, such as coal and iron, would be compelled to ignore the merchants But 1t seems that the jobber has got . footing here, and very firm foot ing. all the same. There is not a wholesale grocer, druggist, drygoods firm, or hardware firm, that admits doing other than a profitable business; and the fact is well known that all the jobbers here are increasing the volume of their trade right along and that the outlook for this year is better than ever.

Cablegrams.

"The cable is a great institution when one has important business to push, said Musical Director Guckenberger yesterday.
 ''On Tuesday a cable correspondence was opened with Miss Edna Gockel in Der lin, making her a proposition to succeed me as director of the Conservatory of Music and also to be the plano soloist on the second night of the music festival in April Several cablegrams passed and she finally wired her acceptance of both propositions. I sent a cable message to- day asking Miss Gockel to bring the score and orchestral parts of Scharwenkas c sharp minor concerto, which she is to play with the Thomas orchestra. If MT. Thomas conducts for Miss Gockel he will want the score for his personal study several days in advance of the rehearsal with her here in Birmingham. But 1t is necessary for her to bring the score and orchestra parts. because this concerto Is a new work and the music Gan not be bought In this country.
 But the point I was making was the value of the cable. It cost over $60 to arrange this business with Miss Gockel, but what was that when Birmingham was to get the benefit of this fair young artists performance of a great work?''
