town q few weeks ago, the writer had
pointed out to him, "a giddy youns

What Dr.. crapsey Said.

In February. 1905, DR.. Crapsey began
preaching a series of sermons on the
general topic Religion and Politics.
in which he directly denied the mira
| cles and the divinity of Christ, and it
Is these sermons, afterward printed in
| book form, that resulted in his being
called to task and that are made the
basis of the heresy charges. In the
preface to the book DR.. Crapsey made
the following statement:
IF we are told of a certain being in
human form. born of human mother
expressing consciousness in human
| speech, living a human life and dying
a human death, we naturally predicate
of such a one q human fatherhood as
we'll as human motherhood, for uni
versal experience bears witness to the
fact that every one who is the child
of a human mother is also the child
of human father. To overcome this
decomposition, which is established by
universal experience, would require tes-
timony of overwhelming force. The
burden of proof lies with those who
deny, not with those who assert, the
validity of universal experience to es-
tablish a given fact.
'"It was in the sermon entitled The
Present State of the Churches" that
DR.. Crapsey gave utterance to most
of the statements which have stirred
churchmen since, and may cause him
to be unfrocked. Some paragraphs
of the sermon were as follows
| OF course, belief in the inerrancy
of the Bible is no longer possible to an
educated man, or to any one, in fact,
who reads his Bible with reasonable
| Intelligence and attention. 1t does not
need profound scholarship 1T only re-
| quires ordinary common sense, to see

The clerical order is losing influence,
not because the world is growing less
religious, but because it is more rellgl-
Gus than it was sixty years ago. he
ligion has today a wider scope, and
farther reach than the clerical inter-
probation permits it to have. The
churches and denominations which
now claim to represent the religious
interests of mankind are the real guard
of the powers that make for religious
progress.
Industrial commercialism is wiser in

"Cummins is about as near to being

The talk Of contesting delegations
from Emmett and Dickinson counties
has stirred up more bad blood than
anything in this campaign so far, that
is in northwest Iowa. Some of the
Cummins men up this way say if this
contesting delegation business is
started, they'll have a contesting dele
cation from every county carried by
Perkins to offset every contesting del
egation from Cummins county In
other words they'll make the
convention of August a
a roaring farce, If the Blythe Perkins
crowd persist in such outrageous tao
tics. These men are onto the fact that
with the state central committee com
posed of a majority of Perkins SYM
parhizers, the convention, if called to

counties like Dnlnet and Dickinson re-
fused recognition in the organization,

"Expert testimony has become a pos

isble to get any sort of expert opinion
npon any subject. All that is neces-
sary is the price, 1t makes no differ
ence what is at stake. Even the life
of a fellow creature is not considered
for moment by certain mercenary ex-
perts," says the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.
"The attempt to discredit the use OF
a candidates record in war in the fur
therance Of his political ambition, is
ALI folderol," says the Burlington
Hawkeye, defending Perkins appeal to
veterans. III. S. Grant was elected to
the presidency practically on that is

Into the presidency almost solely

True blue republican ism with a res
eryation standpatter is thus expressed
by the editor of the Shenandoah Sen
tinel: "Billy wants to know what |
will do when Cummins is nominated.
He is not nominated yet and he will
not be nominated unless the demo crats
nominate him. II the democrats sue
coed in forcing him onto the republican
ticket l shall consider him their cam

The Times-Herald, at Mason City,
believes that the Fourth district re-
publicans now know they have the
right kind of a congressman. He has
earned the opposition of the railroads
and other corporations. Their oppose

who claim to be with the people and
occasionally make grand stand plays

count. Bradstreet for last July does
not give Cun1rnins any rating, but the
general understanding about Des
Moines is that his means are exceed
ingly limited. This, of itself, is not to
