The Church is Unable to ReCtifY
Injustice.

Rev. George C. Lorimer, of Chi
cago preached on "The Religious
Problem of the City"
"The world has never yet been
blessed with real Christian city,"
said Dr.. Lorimer. "The disregard
of the Sabbath, the tricks, frauds
and schemes in business, and the
ebb in public conscience all demon
strate clearly that our centres of
population are far from being Chris
tian in deed and in thought.

money nor the authority to inter
pose in an autocratic fashion for
the compulsory regulation of socie-
ty according to her ideals.

not sufficient to rescue the thou
sands vino are on the verge of starry
alton from scant pay resulting from
the new industrial system, whose
watchword is economy.
"a few are reaping the fruits of
industry at the expense of the pub
lie, and sometimes returning to the
public in charity that which is in
justice due.
at is declared that the theatre
has a greaterinhuence over the peo-
pie than the Church has.
"This very disposition has
grown until people want the church
to supply them with amusement or
they will not attend.
THE third question, which seri-
ously complexities the problem, is
the immigrant. Never was immi
grafton so marked, an never was
there such an influx of the low
est types of humanity from some
of the worst quarters in Europe.
THE foreign element in New

1t almost seems like we are dying
out or becoming Europeanized.
Cannot che Church afford TO look
into this rotten problem, which
threatens to swallow her upp In
stead of building magnificent
churches to keep open a few hours
in the week some action should
be taken to keep them open every
day."

thinks he is on the road to the dis
covery of the source of life, and
that the time will come when men
will not grow old. Healey and the
fewexperimenters along the line of

nevertheless is steadily bringing
its social life under safe and livable

buked him strongly, rebuked him
frequently. And in these rebukes
it was joined by all Northern news
papers which believe that it is
moreimportantthatthe long-suffer-
ing South should have peace than
that any man should be President.
Hence it was that Mr.. Roosevelt
in his letter to Mr. Howell turned
angrily upon the american" and
said:

what panied at what seems to me

South about my actions-an cutlery

With these examples of his versa
tility before us it may we'll be an
ticipated that when the President
again utters himself on negro APP
pointments he will supply fresh rea-
sons for his policy.
But no matter what President
Roosevelt may say or do, the "Amer-

tice for the South. From the be-
ginning we have understood and ex-
pressed the true Democratic atti-

sequently, while it gives us pro-

hating now ranging themselves on
the right side.
1t is the civilized side, the Amer
lean side, the side of patriotism
that knows no sectional lines but
embraces the Union.
In taking this side there is no un-
kindness to the negro. The people
of the South understand him best
and are his best frieds. Nowhere

is the negro afforded so many ave-

are his relations with the whites so
kindly.
But the South, in whose memory
live wildly the horrors of the Re-
construction saturnalia, is resolved
that never again shall it suffer un-
der negro domination.
In that resolve it has the sympa.
