OLD FIRE Is LACKING
Protestant Churches Mere Social Or
CARNATIONS, According to Mr.
Moody's Successor.

New York, Aug. pa criticism Of
the American Protestant churches was
voiced today by Rev. DR.. @. Campbell
Morgan, who has been working in the
late Dwight L. Moody's place at East
Mortified, Mass. When on the point
of sailing for Europe on the Baltic,
Morgan said:
The American church does not seem
TO be much more than a social or
ganization now. Its members spend
II ore time developing along social lines
than they do along spiritual lines The
business men, the Influential Christians
and others do not do their duty. Wrap
ped up in their own affairs or busy in
the pursuit of friVOlity they lose track
of the way and forget the pledge they
made 10 their church organization The
old fire and old time spirit are lack
ing. without which what can be eX-
pected but social clubs and a leading
away from God and the path.
What the churches want is more
God and less of dress and social 20
sition; more spirit OF the master and
less of d strife for place and money
and more religion by example and life
than by tSlking and preaching
