cRlTicisEs AMERICAN CHURCHES

Rev. Or. Morgan Says Il is Only q So
ciaI Organization.
New York. Aug. PA criticism Of
the American Protestant churches was
voiced by Rev. g. Campbell Morgan.
ID. d.. 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 steamer
Baltic. Dr. Morgan said:
THE American church does not seem
TO be much more than q social organi-
zation now Its members spend more
time developing along social lines than
they do along spiritual lines. The bus
mess men. the influential Christians
and others do not do their duty.
Wrapped up In their own Affairs, or
busy in the pursuit Of pleasure or fri
volity. they lose track Of the way and
forget the pledges they made to their
church.
"The old fire and the old-time spirit
are lacking. and without this what can
be expected by social clubs but lead
ing away from God and the path. How
can business man expect to have an
influence with his employees when they
know his life. his methods and just
how far he practices what he
breaches?
"What the churches want Is more
God and less OF dress and social posi-
ton: more OF the spirit Of the Master
and less Of a strife for place and
money. and more religion by example
and life than by preaching and talk
ing"

decision on her claim and the
final proofs which had been offer

The young ladies are very much
elated over their success in clear

have recently built new houses
with porches on and single

their good luck by coming up
from Minneapolis, where they
were employed as stenographers
to spend several weeks on their
little homesteads :
The trials Of the Misses Porter
in securing this land were great
indeed. Some three years ago,
the ladies came up, bringing their
supplies with them and walking
from Blackjack. The team which
brought their supplies could get
no further at that time than a
few miles east Of this place, where
they were left, the two women
carrying them in, distance Of
several miles to their claims.
