One of our prominent criminal

The sIIent Son of a Gun.

Editor The Washington Herald:
I see an article copied into The
Washington Herald from the Kansas

says that 1t is the fashion for up-to-

are.
Now let me remark TO the Kansas
City editor that his women are behind
the times. With progressive econo-
mists pistols are obsolete, or ought to
be. They are not the correct weapon
at all. They do not often frighten
footpads. and if used they seldom dis

RELIGION MADE SECONDARY
Christianity Coming to Be Under

j. ID. \. Berry Replies to Recent Adj
dress of Rev. DIR. A, s. Crapsey
in New York.

Editor The Washington Herald;
In a recent address in New York CITY
DR.. A s. Crapsey said; The trouble in
all walks of life is the tendency to sac
rihce truth to expediency. Ciergymen
holding individual and liberal views go
into their pulpits. and bee Use of expedi-
ency advocate things which they do not
themselves believe"
This is simply an awful truth Men

but treated as a means to an end, in
the pulpits as well as in the market
places Of the worlds enterprise.
DIT. Crapsey further said: Prejudice
against the church has grown and is
growing. Unfortunate though it is, It is
undeniably true"
Because Of this state Of affairs in the
church, Christianity is coming to be
understood as meaning churchianity, and
churchianity as utilizing the religion of
Christ for its aggrandizement the true
religion Of Christ being made secondary
to the ecclesiastic requirements, until
there is lacking the essentials of Christ's
doctrines. and the comforting influence
the pure religion Of Christ creetes in the
souls and minds of poor humanity The
service Of worship in the churches of to-
day takes on a perfunetoriness, a business
character. that is to the true purpose of
worship as mechanical music is to the
souls sublimest melodies.
In such atmosphere of a-means-to-
an-end-religion the worldly dominates
the spiritual until atrophy has become
so chronic the true and higher rever-
ance for and devotion to Christ the
Saviour is not the prime requisite. but
Incidental and ulterior ends. II Is be-
cause Of this condition of things ap-
pertaining to the domain spiritual that
we have the Crapseys of to-day.
Think of the Crapseys preaching the
doctrines of the Christ, and keeping
their true opinion Of Him subdued; /;
preaching according to the creeds OF
their churches. Christ az the Saviour of

contrGdicting the emphatic statements Of
the "One having power over death"-to
the effect that Christ was not miracu-

and buried did not arise from death.
Preachers OF this cIass-and they are far
too numerOus-are not concerned ABOUT
Christ's mission on earth-that the souls
Of men may have life eternal-but that
the organization over which they preside
may 50 flourish that the revenues may be
ample for the support of ecclesiasticism-
Either an itching desire for undue no

lish something may be one excuse for the

vlous to the ordinary intelligence that &c
clesiastic commercialism, rather than the
proclamation Of the Christ, is their dCmi-
nant motive.
The peculiar views OF men like Crapsey
and Dowie could excite nothing but ridi-
cule, were it not for the fact that the
veneer of Christianity is worn so thin
and patched that most Churchgoers regard
the service In the churches as but part
of an outward display Of propriety the
world has learned to consider as but an
adjunct to responsibility, and true love for
GCd and devotion to the Christ not a
prerequisite OF churchianity.
Perhaps Crapsey, because Of his noto-
riety. and being the latest, seizes upon
this state Of spiritual deterioration to
