aose Oh the same sort Oh medicine
The church in America is still on The
hunt Tor neretics and it is reported that
anotner victim mas been found i'll the per-
son Oh Rev. h. Il. Maddox, pastor OF the
tlrst Presbyterian church OF Texarkana,
ARKANSAS; sad 10 be one of the wealthiesJ
congregations III tnat state, and mis- trial was
10 come oil july IA, before the Ouchita
fresDytery, at Hope.
Heresy may be a troublesome issue with
the church authorities but these hunts, and
these trials, furnish food for intellectual
though, PROVIDED, the masses will stop
and think. Consider the character, the in
teilectual standing OF the men VINO have
been put out OF the church for monochrome
icy with accepted doctrines of faith. These
men were supposedly educated for the ex-
press purpose OF preaching Christ and him
cruclhed. They may be supposed to have
made careful study of the subject. Years
OF experience III the work have led them 20
vastly different conclusions and an open re-
nunciation follows. While preaching ne
faith the congregations accepted his word
but the moment he enters upon lines OF
thought that are heterodox, his spiritual
masters call him off, force him to a trial,
turn him out of the church, and his place
is Immediately filled by one stronger in
the faith TO the end that the people shall
not be led from church teachings.
According TO the published reports it is
simply case between tweedledee and
tweededum. The reports state that Rev.
Maddox told his congregation that saliva
ton is an evolution from within and not an
importation from without" This is charged
10 be heresy. 1t is also reported that while
he admits the bible to be inspired he holds
that the writer's of these so-caled sacred
books were neither omniscent or infallible.
This is also charged to be heresy. And
how near to the actual truth is this sug-
gested heresy? Investigation will speedily
convince his accusers that this heretical
parson is right for once.
What seems TO be stumbling block in
the way of the presbytery is the report
that the congregation is determined to
stand by the accused preacher. IL they
stick TO this resolve the church may lose
the entire congregation and the latter de-
eide to keep him in spite of any trial or
conviction. No sooner had the charges
been made, and a notice served upon him,
and the date Of his trial fixed, than Rev.
Maddox submitted the issues to his con-
gregation and upon a show of hands being
called for one solitary hand was held up
against him. This is a straw i'm the wind
and it plainly shows the direction in which
the wind is blowing. Let the Presbytery
fire him, as ii will, the congregation remains
evidently of the same opinion and the
Presbytery will be working to its own I'M
doing. May the time soon come and the
doy soon dawn when all preachers will be
honest enough TO tell their congregations
more truth.
Blue-grass blade., 1908-07-26


men who run these churches as lot OF
contemplate hypocrites who wrap their
comfortable robes about them and care
nothing for the sufferings of the poor"
This is a terrible arraignment and it is
directed against one of the most powerful
church corporations in the country, namely,
the Trinity corporation, OF New York. IL
is not an accusation from unfriendly lips.
1t is not complaint emanating from some
nnorthodoX individual. 1t is not a charge
made by infidelity. 1t did not originate in
some Freethought paper. 1t came from one
who has been through the mill, one who
has run the whole gamut of superstition and
ought to know the truth. in other words
it is charge made against those who man-
age Trinity church and ITS millions by Mad
ison G. Peters, one OF the best known
preachers OF gay and giddy Gotham.
But the accusation should not fall upon
Trinity alone Innumerable other churches
occupy precisely the same attitude towards
the people as this gigantic creature of
Christ and corruption. The one dominant
idea Of every church organization is to ac-
qnire wealth and the power and influence
that wealth CAN give. They seek not the
power that comes through knowledge. Each
foolish theological goose strives to keep its
head above its fellows in the hope and ex-
pectation of appearing mightier, grander
and better than they. Worldly show and
display constitute the dolce far niente of
every orthodox Christian church. They
boast of the money they can control; the
size Of the bank account; its ability to keep
up appearances; the best and biggest choir;
The highest salared preacher; the most
costly ornamentation; all constituting a
gross superficialness without the slightest
thought of human needs human cares, hui
man suffering. Trinity is not the only
guilty church organization but its sins are
many and large. Drawing wealth from
crime, it has fattened and prospered and
still babbles of humble carpenter who had
not where to lay his head
Trinity, like every other church, is also
a constant beggar The mite of the widow
is still eagerly clutched after, pennies
snatched from the hand of unsuspecting
childhood; dollars extracted from the
pockets of labor, and every church in the
country is expert in the art. In the course
of time, when experience opens the eyes
the discovery that our daily bread comes
not from heaven but must be earned
through the sweat of human endeavor,
preachers will be put on the working list
and church organizations will have to main
tain themselves or perish for lack of sup
port And every church that is content to
struggle on in the wake of human intell-
gence will survive the shock, for time,
while they who hold out and refuse, VIII
go all the sooner.
Rev. Peters will do some good by his at
tack on the methods of Trinity and may
succeed in opening wondering eyes, but If
he only looks little further he will dis
