Chris tianity Versus Churchianity

Chris tlanity Versus Churchianity
That is what some people call
the present-day tendency to-
wards broader religious view.
The prophets of today have
visions from which they report
that we are getting further
away from the church and
nearer to Christ every day
Perhaps that news is a shock at
first; but the more thinking pco-
Iple consider it, the more joyous
they become.
The Lyeeum has helped in this
movement more than we usually
give credit. The Lyceum plat
form has been practically the
only free and untrampeled pulpit
in the country. From it priests
of all creeds and no creeds have
eXpounded their doctrines. A
Lyceum course includes lectures
by Catholic priests, Methodist
bishops, agnostics, Christian
Scientists, Jews, Baptists, Pres
byterians and laymen from every
known and unknown sect. Lyc-
cum audiences are JUS rs 9eprG
sentative. The Jews hear the
Catholic priest; the non-religious
hear the Methodist bishop; the
Catholic listens to the Christian
Scientist. For once in the his
tory of the world there is union
between the churches; they are
all meeting on common ground.
Once i'll q while, however, the
convert tells the story. Father
L. J. Vaughan, a Catholic priest,
gave his lecturer on The Power
Of Love, y at a Chautauqua in
Terre Haute. At that time Terre
Haute was a wide-open, mean
river town. The Chautauqua
failed financially; it had a 81, 200
deficit. To the surprise of every
body one of the most notorious
characters of the town, a saloon
keeper of the lowest type, of
fered to make good the deficit.
At first the Association refused
his offer, for the sake of the
looks of the thing; wouldn't
people think he did it because
the Chautauqua had helped his
business that much?"
But the man insisted. He said
they need not be ashamed to
take his money; that he had sold
out and reformed. 81 didn't
realize | was doing wrong" he
said, till | heard Father Vaug-
hans lecture the other day. L
hope you will not only take this
money, but show me how | can
help to make this town what it
ought to be-
The lecture on "The Power of
| Love- is not a temperance
lecture; it is not, in the strict
sense of the word, sermon; it
is not churchy or pious; if it had
been any of the things, that
saloon keeper would never have
heard it, He would have run
away from it as he would from
the smallpox. But as it was, he
heard the call-and answered it.

Poor Train Service

Poor Train Service.
The abominable service that the
Milwaukee railroad has been
giving Sisseton and the towns on
this branch, notwithstanding
the frequent protests of the peo-
pie, has become unbcarable and
patience has ceased to be a vir-
tue. There is a we'll defined dis
elimination in favor of Milbank
and against Sisseton. The
amount of business that Sisseton
gives the road entities this city
to some consideration. When
the second train was put on this
road last year the schedule was
so arranged that the train crew
remained over night in this city
and while the service was not all
that was desired, the people
were disposed to be fair and
were in measure satisfied for
one could leave here in the morn
ing and go to the cities in the
day time or those who desired
could go, as now to the cities on
the night train. But this did not
suit some Milbank parties who it
is asserted succeeded in getting
the schedule changed so that the
train crew remained over night
in Milbank leaving there at 10:45
in the morning. We really have
no day service to St. Paul, one
train leaving in the afternoon
and the other in the evening and
often times the train crew are
kept busy switching in the yards
at Mllbank two or three hours,
delaying the United States mail
so that it often happens that
they do not get into Sisseton un-
til four or five o'clock in the
afternoon instead of one o'clock.
This is not as is erroneaousiy
supposed the fault of the train
crew who are disposed to ac-
comodate the public as far as lay
III their power but rather the
pecunious aud narrow -gauged
policy of the road.
In one instance this week one
of the trains had to be abandon
ed for the reason that the train
crew were completely exhausted
from overwork. On Tuesday the
crew were kept at work at Mil
bank as above stated. The
writer was on the train and
knows whereof he speaks. It
was nearly five O'Clock when the
train got to sisseton, it returned
to Milbank and made a second
round trip after that 50 that it
was after twelve o'clock at night
before the crew were able to re-
tire. The next day the same
thing occurred again, the crew
going to work in the yards at
Milbank with only five hours
rest and the law expressly oro-
hibits this. Conductor Cinclair,
we understand telegraphed to
headquarters to send another
crew to make the second run as
he and his crew We're exhausted
and the officials authorized the
abandonment Of the second train.
With the present heavy freight
traffic the company could afford
to keep a switch crew in Milbank
to do this work so that the
sche dule could be changed and
the train remain in Sisseton at
night as heretofore. A meeting
of the business men of Sisseton
will be held Monday evening at
which time a remonstance will
be sent to the railway company
and the Railroad & Warehouse
commission invoked to make the
company give US decent service.

Building Too Many Fire Traps

The recent school house horror near
Cleveland, Ohio. by which 100 chill
dren we're criminally cremated, is
arousing public men to denounce the
fire traps still in existence and still
being erected in every city of the Tn
ion. Richard L. Humphrey. enain-
eer in charge of the structural mater
ial laboratories Of the United States.
in discussing the Ohio crime. says:
cit is q matter of record. borne
out by statistics. that this country
spends enormous sums of money In
providing equipments for fighting
fires, while foreign countries spend
their money for structures which offer
the greatest resistance to fire. The per
capita loss in this country yearly ex-
ceeds SIS against an annual, loss in 81
of the principal cities of Europe of
33c per capita. Estimating the pop
ulatlon of the country at 80. 600, 600
the loss from fires here is $74O. 00O,-

that prevail in European cities our
loss would be but S26. 400.O q

The Republican state committee, at
its recent meeting in Seattle, sat
down hard upon the earnest recon-
mendation of Ex-Gov. McGraw that
the committee refrain from making
any formal endorsement of any of the
presidential candidates. He had just
returned from Washington, where
he had been working earnestly for
several months in the interest of the
A. Y. P. exposition, and he felt that
a formal endorsement of Secretary
Taft would be regarded as an affront
by other candidates, and especially
by Speaker Cannon, whose support of
the A. Y. P. bill is very much de-
sired. The governors advice seems
sensible, although it is hardly prob
able that "Uncle Joe'' could be per-
suaded to support the A. Y. P. bill
even if the committee had enthuisas-
tically endorsed his own candidacy for
the presidency. He worked and
voted for the Chicago exposition bill,
but he wasn't speaker then and per-
haps his political and economic Wis
ion was bounded by a smaller horizon
than it is now-or was it wider?
