church in Cerro Gordo county has been
forced to resign because he talked right
out in meeting. The Times Herald IS
authority for the statement and says
that such thing as this is a disgrace
upon the county. All preachers cam
not be commended for all they say, bat
when a level-headed, able, fonorabla
preacher stands in his pulpit and
breaches the gospel as he believes it,
and as the people generally believe it,
the man who does not like it served
that way had better keep silent or keep
out himself. The churches ARE contin-
ualy holding up a higher standard Of
Christian living. They are demanding
that a Christian give outside evidence
of an inward change of heart. If they
do not do this they can hardly come up
to the Bible demands. This certain
preacher made some forcihle discourses
against dancing, and card playing. he
was driven to ii because the young peo-
pie of his church We're making it
dancing and card playing church, and i
was noticed that the spiritual vitality
of the church was dead OF dying. The
Young people who patroniZe the dane
ing hall and the card tables We're not
at prayer meeting and the Endeavor
societies and for the protection OF the
church he raised his voice and talked
plainly along these lines. He believes
that the people who did these things
should step out of the church, II for
nothing more than the influence they
had This is not new question with
churches 1t is met with in nearly eN-
cry locality The preacher had right
to preach against them and hold up the
church The worldly man points with
pride to the chuch that is free from
even the faint of wrong. The men In
our neighboring town who have sought
to destroy the holy influences of good
man have made the mistake of their
lives"
What will these people do now!
What will they insist upon when they
engage a new minister? VIII he over
look their smart doings and maintain
an irnominous silence? He had bet
ter not. If he does he will simply b..
the spiritual adviser" of another So
cial club and too many of them exist
now under the name of being churches.
They neither have souls nor have they
the respect of the communities in which
they exist.
The sturdy old-fashioned Christian
ity is the kind that does good and the
kind that commands respect.
