Some Preachers Get a Shock.

| Quite a sensation was sprung at the
Winona Bible conference, at Winona,
| Indiana. Friday last by Rev. c. f.
Aked, pastor of the Fifth Avenue
church, New York, which is supposed
to be John D. RockefeIler's church.
The New York minister is an Eng
| lishman and said to be one of the best
paid ministers in the United States. He
was imported" from Liverpool, Eng
land, only three years ago. Winona was
thronged with the leading Protestant
ministers to hear 1.-The great preacher of
the Fifth Avenue church.
DIR. Aked came out plainly and told
the Bible conference that all the Prot
estant churches were losing ground
None of our churches are able to
hold the gains we made in the past,
he said. 1.-THE people are growing more
and more Indifferent" he continued.
There must be something radically
wrong with our preaching or our system
of work. 1 am not talking without
knowledge and investigation. I have
prepared carefully the statistice on the
subject"
Then DIR. Aked proceeded to quote the
statistics.
my figures show that 995 churches
in Manhattan borough, New York, only
gained 1856 converts in one year-the
statistical year just ended. There are
$500 barren churches in Congregational,
Methodist. Presbyterian and Baptist
denominations"
This last statement appeared to
cause great indignation among some of
the ministers and several speakers took
exception to DR.. Aked's remarks, one
preacher saying that he was surprised
"such a distinguished minister would
give expression to such awful things
even if true, when he must know the
press and public would get hold of the
statemnts and print them, thus doing
the cause of religion great HARM
DR.. Aked replied that nothing was
to be gained by concealing the truth.
He said the ostrich policy would not
do. The fact must be recognized as
they presented themselves.
1T is unnecessary that my hearers
agree with me-" concluded DR.. Aked.
Il have simply addressed you frankly
on a subject in which we are all inter-
ested. Let those who do not agree with
my view get busy with the facts, and
if my contentious are erroneous show
them to be So
But DR.. Aked's facts were mot
budged an inch" by any one at the Wi
mona Bible conference. The Ministerial
associations will make a searching in
vestigation to ascertain II there is any
side to the black picture of
Professionalism that Mr.. Aked has |
painted.
1t is safe to say that nothing in re-
cent years has caused such a sensation |
in Protestant ministerial circles in In |
diana as the bold statistical statement |

LINCoLN'S PRECOCITY.


When the log cabin was taken from
New York to its final resting place in
Kentucky, it aroused a great deal of CON-
ment and curiosity as it passed through
the different cities. Many CURIOUS anec-
dotes were told of the trip. but probably
the best one Is this one. which is told with
keen relish by Captain n c. Bullitt OF
company a. First Kentucky infantry, who
was in charge of the detail of five pri-
Yates that guarded the famous relic on lis
way south.
THE car on which the cabin rested was
standing on a railroad siding in Baltimore.
when a Marylander, who had exhibited
great apparent interest in the cabin, APP
preached me in very timid manner and
asked:

Yes. right within those very walls.

tircment of Frank IT. Hitchcock, first

been actively identified with the postal
service for about 20 years.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hitchcock was
requested by Secy. Taft to undertake.
the management of his campaign. The
secretary desired to enlist his services.
not only because he is widely known
throughout the country and has had
experience valuable In campaign
work. but because he felt the necessity
of having n man in charge of the in
finite variety of details of the campaign
to whom he could refer questions arls-
ing constantly and to which he was
unable TO devote the time they seemed
to demand. 1t is no secret that Secy.
Taft In order to dispose of the great
amount of work incident to the direc-
ton of his department, has been Obliged
for several weeks practically to ex-
ciude himself from visitors IL part of
the time. The work has been exceed
ing trying. as he is under a severe mem
tai and physical strain for from l6 to
20 hours every dry.
When Secy Taft made the proffer OF
the management of his campaign TO
h1r Hitchcock, he desired that he
undertake the work Immediately. As
that In the view of Mr.. Hitchcock,
would have necessitated retirement at
once from the office of first assistant
postmaster general, because he could
not. with propriety conduct political
campaign from the postoffice depart
meut. he told Secy. Taft that he could
not assume the duties of campaign man
hger on the spur of the moment. He
asked for time to consider the subject,
and to confer with friends. The secre-
tary entered no objection, bue desired a
decision as soon as practicable. Mr..
Hitchcock finally informed Secy. Taft
