CHRlSTlRNITY lNSuLTED.

In the midst Of our strenuous efforts
to convey civilization and true Chris
tianity to the barbarian in the Philip
pine archipelago we might do well to
devote a little attention to affairs at
home. The Chicago Tribune is au-
thority for the statement that in the
northern part of Illinois there is an
evangelist going about from church to
church on these terms Forty dol
lars a week. and nn4ty conversions guar
anteed or money refunded"
That is quite the reverse of creditahle
to the northern part of Illinois. Al
though possibly less shameful than the
savagery which has recently dsgracrd
the southern section OF that State, COM
monty called Egypt. it evidences the
existence Of conditions that are quite
Incompatible with a high degree Of
Christian civilization.
One could easily understand that Il
man with an unbalanced mind, a poor
creature who ought to be in santa
rium might conceive Of that plan for
getting cash and notoriety There
are weaklngs cranks ana frauds in
all professions the ministry being no
more exempt than law, medicine, jour
nalism or art. Therefore 1t would not
be in the least surprising If in any well
regulated community some hare
Drained preacher should start oIt
carrying Il banner with the strange de
vice: Forty dollars a week and fifty
conversions guaranteed, or money re-
funded"
But what sort OF people are they
among whom such a sacriligious crea-
ture finds encouragement? To What
denomination do the churches belong
that are open to the PROCLAMATION of
Christianity? If it were possible 70
bring religion ino contempt. that re-
suit would be produced by this per-
formance. 1t is witless and without
excuse.
The Founder of Christianity gaze
His followers an example to be fol-
lowed in a case like this. He drove tn o
traders ont of the temple with VIII p
of small corts-a cat-o'-nine-tails--
and He "overthrew the tables of the
money changers and the seats of them
that sold doves" There ought to be
enough of Christianity in almost any
community to insure duckng or a
ride on a fence rail to any such Of
fender against decency as Is this so
called evangelist. And any preacher
who opens his church and loans his
pulpit to such burlesque on religion
ought to be set to hoeing corn. driving
mules or cutting fodder by hand. Such
a preacher has not intellect enough to
of agricultural labor in which costly
machinery is employed. and the mule
is the only member Of the equine fam
lily to whose management he Is
adapted.
It is not strange that the Mormon
elders are reported to he making
much headway in the northwest, if tha.
section has openings for an evangelist
who offers conversions at so cents a
head, genuineness guaranteed or
money refunded. Did anybody ever
hear of a Mormon preacher who dared
to insult Christianity in that way?

ors is based on the fact. mainly, that he
is the democratic mayor of a republican
town. He has never had any Legislative
experience-probably never will have
but has political aspirations born of the

naturally decided that so long as he
was asking for something he couldn't
possibly get he might as well take a
long shot at big game. Mr.. Clemmons
has at least one qualification that will
endear him to the hearts OF de gang.
