HIS CRITICISM
CAUSES A STIR
Liberal Member of Parlia-
ment Scores Minister of
the City Temple in London

LONDON. March 24.-Consternation
has been caused in British NoncOn-
formist circles by a speech of Robert
w. Perks, Liberal member of Parlia-
ment for the Louth division of Lincoln
shire, delivered yesterday at the open
ing of a Methodist bazaar at Louth, in
which he vigorously criticized Rev
Reginald John Campbell. minister Of
the City Temple here. Both men are
pillars of nonconformity, one of them
being practically the head of the min
istry and the other one of the most
prominent laymen. The two main
points of Perks attack were Rev. Mr..
Campbells recent presentation at court
by the Bishop of London and the pro-
iected surplicing of DIR. Campbell's s
choir of the City Temple
ssI was sorry" said Perks, Ito see
a few days ago, when Mr. Campbell
wished TO go to court, that he asked
the Bishop of London to present him
to the King. What would have been
said in the days gone by If Puritan
preachers, prosecuted not by Parlia-
Tnent. as they are now, but by a feeble
Stuart King, had asked Archbishop
Iaud to present them to King Charles? :?
Mr.. Campbell would have been far bet
ter advised If he had asked the vet
eran' leader of nOnconfOrmity, Rev.
James Guinness Rogers. to introduce
him to King Edward instead of going
TO a levee hanging to the apron strings
of an Anglican Bishop"
Referring to the surplicing Of the
men and women of the choir in gowns
and velvet caps Perks said:
'Ritualism is a steep and slippery
slope. Possibly the next thing we shall
see is Mr.. Campbell marching around
the aisles of the City Temple, followed
by his surpliced choir. chanting pro-
cessional hymn. with the reluctant dea-
cons behind. These are days when
ncnconfofmity is confronted with a
severe struggle We expect our preach
ers to march with fearless. buoyant
steps and not become camp-followers
in the Anglican army"

Author

The Press 9-year newsboy author
writes another story for this paper
1t is entitled LEAD Good Life
The story is reproduced here just as
it left Georges pen:
Once upon time a horse who did
not like his master ran away. As he
went along he came to a haystack
from which he was chased away by a
farmer and dog. Going on along the
road he came in contact with small
band OF horses who were going home
from pasture. Following them he soon
came into large barnyard. But upon
being discovered by boy he was
put out and panel of bars put up
instead of the sign mo admtance."
Going into the woods with the in
tention of staying for the night, he
soon came to a path which he follow
ed and soon was deep in the forest.
Suddenly he was confronted by a
large WOLF another, another and an
other. They soon dispatched the poor
horse and then quietly withdrew into
the darkness.
Moral: Boys and girls don't leave
the fold of the Master and associate
with evil companions or you will be
like the horse. Instead of wolves
your companions will be them and in
stead of their eating you they are slow
but sure putting You in the clutches
of Satan. GEORGE MLAREN,

An Alum
Mountain

BERLIN, Jan. 2l.-German scientists
have recently reported on the en-
istence of an "alum mountain in
China, which they say is one of the
wonders of the world. 1t is a source
of wealth to the residents of the
vicinity, who spend their time mining
alum.
The mountain is said to be 10 miles
in circumference at the base and ut
least 1000 feet high. The alum is
quarried in immense blocks and then
heated in ovens and afterwards dis
solved in boiling water. From this
liquid the alum crystallizes in layers
about half a foot thick. 1t is then cut
up in blocks of 10 pounds each. The
Chinese use it chiefly for purifying
water.
