OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The condemnation of L,r. Crapsey on
fifteen counts for having violated his
ordination vows by teaching exactly
the opposite of what he swore at his
ordination he would teach, has created
some stir in the religious press. The
Churchman New York; regards with
disfavor this condemnation of a minis
ter whose denomination it represents,
and thinks that as DR.. Crapsey pro-
fesses to interpret, not deny, tn ;
creeds. and as he has the reputation
of a cody and earnest man, he ought
never to have been prosecuted. The
Homiletic Review, which is an undo
tominational magazine, thinks that
what DR.. Crapsey does openly, nine
out of ten clergymen do in secret. This
magazine declares that pledges as to
belief ought never to be demanded Of
clergymen before ordination, and holds
that the maturing of the worlds re-
ligious sense will result in the abol-
ition of any such tests. Thus:
What DR.. Crapsey does in an ex
IRENE degree. without question nine
out of every ten ministers in every
church requiring creed subscription
also do in some degree. The principle
on which DIR. Crapsey is to be UNI
frocked, impartially applied by those
churches which require creed sub
scription. would undo and unsettl.
their whole ministry. Nearly all of
the creeds subscribed are of ancient
date. They We're framed as metaphy-
steal and logical statements, frequent
ly to meet the heresies eff the age that
produced them. 1t would be quite gen.
orally regarded as proof of intellectual
disease if a man living today should
affirm his belief verbatim ct literatim
in the ancient symbols. Yet they are
subscribed by very great number of
ministers. In view of this fact it is
matter of Importance to ascertain in
what sense and to what extent creed
subscription is binding.
"The path of progress; lies, we have
no doubt. in the direction of abandon
ing creed subscription. 1t will not be
long before we shall see clearly what
is already apparent to many-that
creed subscription is not process that
conveys reliable information as to
preachers theology. He, may be per-
fectly sincere in asserting to creed,
because he expects and intends to in
terpret' it. Again, he may i'll his youth
believe, or think he believes, articles
that later he outgroWs: so that his
original subscription nc longer means
what it did. A far surer method of
regulating the theology of church.
if it is to be regulated, is to invite
and encourage every minister to form
and express his beliefs at all times
with absolute freedom; holding the
statements of the creed as general his
toric symbols of the church, and trust
ing to the great progressive consen-
sus of Christian opinion that in the
long run will always make it certain
that every man shall go to his own
place. The churches that have fol-
lowed this course, notably the Baptist
and Congregational churches, have
prospered and have largely escaped
descriptive disturbances They have
found out that theology does not, after
all, require custodian"

FACTS ABOUT DENATuRED ALCOHOL.

Denatured alcohol is simply common
| alcohol doctored so as to make it UNI
| fit to be take as beverage.
1t is made from potatoes. corn. sugar
beets, sugar cane or overripe fruit. II
is unlimited In supply while gasolene
is so limited now that at times it can
not be obtained.
With corn at so cents per bushel, de-
natured alcohol would cost 14.2 cents
per gallon to manufacture. In Cuba
1t is being manufactured from low
per gallon. The same moasses could
be dumped at eastern cities and alcohol
manufactured therefrom for less than
10 cents per gallon.
One gallon of alcohol is equal to two
gallons of kerosene for lighting pur-
poses, when burned in common house
lamp. 1t will also burn in specially
constructed Welsbach burner.
For use as fuel for engines gallon
of denatured alcohol is equal to two
gallons of high grade gasoene. 1t is q
cleaner fuel for engines than gasolene
and has no odor.
Alcohol used in farm engines is less
dangerous than gasolene because water
will not quench a gasolene fire while
it will put out an alcohol fire.
The tax on alcohol which has just
been abolished. by congress has been in
existence since 1861 and has greatly
crippled American industry. Prior to
that time more than thirty million gall
Ions were used annually while now the
annual consumption in the arts at
home is only FIVE million gallons, when
the growth of population would justify
from eighty to 100 millions being used.
Germany uses 20 million gallons of
alcohol and France 100 million gallons
bouth countries using potatoes mostly
in its manufacture.
The manufacture of smokeless pow
der, aniline dyes, high-grade shellac
and photographic supplies has hereto
fore been done in Europe much more
cheaply than in this country with de-
natured alcohol-taxed as it has been.
When coal has disappeared potato
alcohol can heat our stoves, warm our
houses. light our rooms. and run our
engines, and railway trains. When the
growth of population has brought this
country to the cabbage patch stage our
railroads can grow potatoes enough on
the waste land along their rights of
way to furnish alcohol fuel for all their
engines.

ABOUT CLUB WOMEN.
Mitchell County Pressl

| DIT is the real thing nowadays for
the women to organize clubs, literary
In their nature and guaranteed to
furnish culture While you wait and
the way the club woman digs into
ancient happenings is liable to send
cold chills along the column of a
| coarse he man. whose literary long
ings are satiated by squirt at poll
tics and the batting averages of the
Cubs These club women are most
ly women who are too heavy for light
amusements and not old enough to
stay at home. They are always dead
set on harmony with large III" but
where there are two or three of them
gathered, out come the meat axes
and they hack a few monograms just
for fun. The average club woman
could not give a correct list of the
present county officers to save her
life, but you ask her who Beowulf
was or how Mary Queen Of Scots wore
her back hair and she will heave u
fast one over the plate before you can
get the bat off your shoulder. About
ever so often the women hold a sort
of a Brain Barbecue, to which the
men are invited and expected to go,
whether they want to or not The
men always go. but they go with their
ears laid back and pulling on the hall
ter to beat the band, for fear some
stout matron will crowd them against
the ropes and ask them to differentiate
between Merlin and Vivien, the de-
funct Stanford White and Mrs Harry

women will do these things, but the
reason is plain. For once she is neith-
er wife, mother. sister, or daughter.
but just plain herself, with an indi-
viduality all her own, and she enjoys
it to the uttermost. Especially when
she thinks how she is getting some
thing on her associate, whose coarse
fibre never scars above business cares,
and who while she is posting up on
Shakespeare. sits by the kitchen fire
smoking a pipe and using language
unbecoming am officer and gentle
man, when he reads that another coun-
ty adjacent to the c.. b. & @. railroad
has declared for Perkins.
Culture is a very nice thing for
those who like that sort of a thing,
but the average man is too busy
keeping track of what is going on
nowadays to care much what happen
ed four hundred years ago. Women's
clubs differ largely in their nature
from the strictly literary to the ones
formed to convert the heather and pay
UP a thousand dollar church debt by
giving lucent luches for quarter.
The churches would languish and many
a pastor would get thin over the ribs
We're it not for women's clubs. After
all. to take philosophical view of the
matter we fail to see any women's
cub. whatever it's aim, hasn't got
something on a club formed by men
whose sole purpose is to afford an
opportunity for the unlimited swiling
of beer. The women's clubs are re-
fining in their nature and afford many
"a woman an opportunity to develop
and exercise her individuality that is
too often denied her at home. Besides
they afford the men something to
laugh at and secretly admire.

Socialism in the PULPIT.

Altho Charles Kingsley and Freder-
lex William Robertson were never dis
ciplined or even reprimanded for their
alleged leaning toward socialism, the
opinion is abroad in some quarters that
no preacher of the gospel should adj
vocate or even indirectly favor the
doctrine or influence of socialists. This
we learn in the first place from an
article in Die Nation (Berlin, which
relates and comments upon the case
of Pastor Korell the liberal candidate
for the representation of Darmstadt,
in the reichstag. According to the
journal cited, this Protestant pastor
was mistakenly accused of supporting
the social democrat Berthold in a Ger
tain contest for seat in the reichstag,
by opposing his antagonist in the cleo
tion-the Reactionary Stein. For this
the church authorities. as represented
by the Central Consistory of Hesse,
passed vote of censure upon him.
