Chicago. Nov. 2l.--A disratch 10 the
Tribune from Stamford Conn. says;
III Christ had come to Stamford and
had been elected delegate 10 the in.
terchurch conference at New York,
would he be admitted"
The answer given by the Rev, A. Eu-
gene Bartlett. pastor Of the Universal
list church here last night, caused a
great deal Of comment.
IT is not probable that a movement
which ought to mean as much as an
interchurch conference would be over
looked by Christ" said Mr.. Bartlett
1T may be that his superior intellect,
his spotless character, his unseldsh SER
vice for humanity would cleo, him TO
that conference.
III the wise and conscientious men
among the delegates insisted Chrlsts
case might come UP for hearing and
be handed over to a committee 10 de-
termne whether or not he should be
admitted The ordinary evangelical
tests probably would be applied to
him, for among many II has come to
be not what Christ believed but what
the churches believe that determines
the Christian. And now hear the YER
diet OF the conferences:
We are sorry to say that you can-
not be admitted. You are not a Chris
tian, You are a good man-you have
fed the hungry, you have clothed the
naked, you have been a brother TO
those in distress, but you are not evan
gelical, you are not Christian
