CHURCH AND THE BROTHER.
HOOD OF MAN,

Rev. Washington Gladden. IN a
magazine article takes the churches
to task for the essential lack Of
brotherhood manifested in the ranks
of the membership. He says:
we have churches FOR the rich
and cultured classes and churches for
the poor and humble classes. Tho
social qualification is quite as mark.
8ed here as in any portion of society
"A man who has lived long in our
/ great metropolis and knows intimate.
sly the religious life of that city,
said to me not long ago: No man
would stand much chance OF being
chosen to an office In any of these
large churches unless he had con
siderable bank account or strong
social position And the entire adj.
I Manifestation OF these great churches
in the cities proceeds upon plane
and scale which makes the presence
In them or connection with them
simply impossible to self-respecting
working people"
ANY one at all conversant with con
sditions as they exist In the various
ecclesiastical organizations must rec
ognize the truth of Dr. Gladden's
STRUCTURES. Who is to blame for this
unfortunate perversipn of gospel doc
4trlne; for that it is a pervcrsion a
most superficial reading of the scrip,
lures will show? This question should
.Gbe investigated and the trouble rene
