This question can be answered affirmatiyely
The poignant signs of the times point to
the inevitable conclusion that Christianity is
out OF joint with the age, the times and the
people. Following the universal law theology
is passing away ana yielding place to new
ideas. period of disintegration has set upon
all forms of religious faith and in the segre-
CATION that must follow the old theologies
will be forgotten
Most important of all is the admitted rapid
spread of Atheism in Germany. The refined
and educated classes have CT: loose fro,n e
orthodox faith. To such an extent is this
recognized that the pious scholastics are pour
ing out torrents of protests. Above it all
comes the welcome admission that SPECIAL
propaganda is being undertaken in Germany
on behalf of Atheism, which is being prose
cuted with intense enthusiasm and ability
Atheistical literature is being widely dissent
mated among German college students and the
information is given that on every hand the
people are firing of he old religions and that
orthodox theories unable to cope with the
advancing intelligence.
In America, the signs of the times, appear
ing through the recent discharge of Prof. H.
H. 3awden, from the Cincinnati University
because of his advanced perso nal views, points
to an arrant hypocrisy embodied in modern
Christian methods of instruction. Prof. Baw.
den, in published interview, says, the
average college professors have not "the cour-
age to stand up and say what they think"
This denunciation extends not alone to their
thoughts concerning sociological problems, but
strikes all religious concepts and practices.
Upon the latter subject Prof. Bawden de-
clarad:-
~ think I am reflcciing the opinion of the
hes, education Sh,r ] say that university
is the one place above all others where the
spirit of free inquiry should prevail, and
where any question and any problem of a
kind including human nature should be open
to untrammecl II yestigato"
''Thcre -ns n time when it was damnalle
heresy to doubt the geocentric theory of the
solar system. There was time when Protest
ansm was what the world originally sgni
fied-a protest against the established church.
There was time when it was blasphemous
to sui stitute evolution for creati'n There
was a time when the higher criticism was re-
garded as endangering the authority OF tho
Christian scriptures All these subjects have
successfully come under the scrutiny of sci
ence, and the heresies of yesterday have be-
come creeds of today"
But little reference need to be made to the
situation in France. The separation OF church
and state has there been made absolute and
the Republic still maintains defiant attitude

land, they came and settled upon it, obtain.
ing all the rights of self governing corpora
ton.
Although fleeing from persecution in the
old country, their first act was to establish
a theOcracy in the new. Laws were made
and promulgated giving the right of suffrage
TO none but church members. The ministers
welded terrible power in politics. They
were its spiritual and temporal masters. In
the course of a few months the colony grew
to be rabid theocracy in which the build
ing of churches and the preaching of the gos-
pei were of the first importance.
In 1886 Roger Williams led revolt. He
demanded that all religious beliefs should be
tolerated and that the affairs of church and
state should be kept entirely separate. For
this he was ordered to leave the colony and
return to England, by the Puritan clergymen,
on the ground that his views were danger
Gus. In this they were aided b.. the magis-
trates who were the servile tools of the
church. Williams left the colony, but he did
not return to England. He plunged alone into
the wilderness and into the country of the
Naragansetts. Their chief, Canonicus,
granted him tract of land upon which he
established a settlement and named it prov
dence" in the hope that it would prove
shelter for all who were prosecuted for opin
ions sake. Here, all citizens, whether church
members or not, were to have equal rights
before the law
Following the Punishment of Roger Will
liams, and in the same year, Mrs. Anne
Hutchinson was also compelled to leave Mas
sachusetts because of her religious opinions
She settled upon Aquidneck Island, and the
colony she founded was named Portsmouth.
Newport was founded little later by other
exiles.
Back in Massachusetts, religion was enjoy.
ing wild orgy The law was active in en-
forcing the performance of religious duties.
The people were summoned to church by the
beating of drums and were marched up to it
in military order. The bible, printed sermons
and almanacs were the most popular litera-
ture. Witch trials were had in abundance.
The malice and envy engendered by religious
hate and despotism caused thousands of in
offensive and aged women 10 fall victims to
the dread superstition. And so things con-
tinued until 1853 when Patrick Henry, then
a young and obscure lawyer, fought the par
sons right to claim tithes of tobacco and by
his boldness and eloquence succeeded in put
ting the parsons to route. This was the first
serious break from the church in America,
upon its own territory
Step by step the breach grew and widened
The intervening gulf became impossible The
clergy were determined to stand their ground.
The liberal element refused to surrender.

.SUREST WAY TO GET
PROTECTION IS BY
LOW DUTIES
ANDREW CARNEGIE SAYS GER
TAIN TARIFFS SHOULD BE
A6oLlsHED-Is STILL FOR NEG.
EssARY PROTECTION.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Chair-
man Payne, OF the ways and means
committee, has made public Andrew
Carnegie's letter in which he declines
to appear before the committee 10
supplement the statement made by
him in magazine.
In his letter Mr.. Carnegie says:
Thanks for your kind invitation TO
appear before your committee upon
the pending tariff changes.
81 have served my full term In
Washington upon tariff matters and
beg TO be excused from further SER
vice In that direction.
81 am no longer In business and in
my Century article, companion to that
Of my experience with railway rates
and rebates, have said all that have
10 say upon the subject. Manufacture
ers will appear before you from whom
you can obtain required details.
Realizing the comments upon my
article bv various distinguished gen
tlemen in Washington as published In
yesterdays Tribune, | see they have
not yet read the article itself. but only
a few stringing extracts separated
from the context
When you read it you will discover
that my faith in protection wherever
II proves TO be necessary Is as strong
as ever and that | continue 90 believe
that the surest way to secure needed
protection is TO reduce protective du-
ties from time to time and finally
abolish them when no longer needed
Pursuing this policy our party has
already reduced duty upon steel rails
from $2S to 81 and other duties In
greater or less degree. The Mckinley
tariff which made great deductions is
case in point. II would prove false
to its history and its pledges II it fail
ed now.
I'm the most critical times the pro-
tective policy has received indispensa-
BILE aid from patriotic Democrats In
congress as | have shown.
This Is as II should be. Duties on
imports should cease to be party
question. Only what is best for our
common cause should be thought Of
Il attach supreme Importance to the
maintenance of present duties upon
Injuries used chiefly by the rich, not
from the protective but from the rev.
enue point of view. Special attention
is required to the revenue needs Of the
country these days to meet Increased
expenditure and as far as know none
can be obtained with so little pressure
upon the people as the two hundred
and odd millions now coming into the
treasury from such articles.
Yours as true protectionist,
(SignedD
ANDREW CARNEGIE"
Chairman Payne has replied TO Mr..
Carnegie's letter expressing regret
that the ironmaster feels unable to
appear before the committee.
Willis l.. King. of Pittsburg. a steel
man. who testified before the ways
and means committee yesterday. said
he disagreed with Andrew Carnegies
recommendation that the tariff be
abolished on steel. Mr.. King said
Carnegie had been out OF the steel
business for nine years and is not
entirely familiar with conditions.
