Two Burglaries

Tue-da morning the curtains OF the
Leader office were found pulled down
and on opening up the office in the
morning the safe was found opened
and rified dozen burnt matches were
on the floor in front Of the safe and
also ia front OF M. Walsh's safe,
showing that an ate mpt had been
made 10 open the latter also. Sus picion
was al once aroused towards Brooke,
the Leaders printer for the last 3 Or 4
months, especially as he did not show
no that morning. He was very
capable man, had been trusted inn
plicilly, but for the past few days had
been b6ozing badly.
Three or four drafts and about $40
in money were missing. 1t was soon
found That one of the drafts was
cashed to Brooks late the night before
in Jensen's saloon. Brooks took
the early morning freight for Sioux
City. Mr.. Jerry Ryan followed on
the passenger, but no clue to
Brooks has BEEN discovered. Bi ooks
also left several unsatistied creditor
about town. Altogether the affair
has about as much of folly and dis
grace bound up in 1T as could be
crowded into one act.

Modern Christianity can be nothing I'M
less it runs to the sensational In the old
days it sought to border upon the spiritual
to such extremites that the religion actually
made men and women appear miserable.
True religion is true misery for no thought
full person, man or woman can believe in
all its doctrines and teachings anent future
rewards and punishments without expert
encing deep concern and frequent agony
of mind. Not one bright thought can 1t
produce.
For a generation, or more, the Christian
propaganda in America found its desire for
sensationalism gratified in the personality
of Sam Jones but with his passing the par
ticular form and methods used by him
seemed to disappear. OF course his meth
DDS were the means of reaping consider
able coin and his disappearance has ere,
ated void which several have sought in
vain to fill. None succeeded until Billy Sun
day made his advent upon the orthodox
vaudeville stage and we venture the pre-
diction that Sunday will soon fzzle out and
pass from public view.
1t is reported that the ball-player-preach
er-for-cash has endeavored to instruct the
ministers of an eastern city upon the
reasons or causes Of their failure in win
ming souls to Christ" and that among
other things he very frankly, and much to
their chagrin and discontinue, informed
about them, and denounced them as mol
lycoddles and grafters." Heavens! Won't
somebody call the police? Fancy an ortho
doX minister in these days of progress and
political prosperity being denounced as
such, And by what right does Billy Sun
day appropriate Roosevelts epigrams, no.
menclatures and descriptions to give en-
phasis to his remarks? Roosevelt ought to
have had the bunch of jokes copyrighted and
thus prevented infringement even by a
preacher. But what would the preacher
care so long as the coin was abundantly in
sight? AS a ball-player Sunday seriously
strove for the plaudits of the crowd and as
a preacher he is simply at the same old
game
We have often heard it said that fools
and children sometimes tell the truth AS
Sunday is not a child, and as he has GER
tainly given utterance to some truths de-
cidedly unpalatable to the orthodox preach
ers our readers are left to infer his proper
classification. The reports say that he told
the congregation of preachers some of the
following sentiments
MANY of you ministers are fudge-eating
molycoddes and you are continually
springing bum bull-con to your congrega-
tons Few Of you are not stiffs, salary
quacks, willing to accept social distinction
and most of you are qualified candidates
for the funny-house."
"One of the reasons why you fail is that
so many of you are full of leomade and
buttermilk instead of being filled with to-
basco sauce and mustard"
Your churches of today have degenera-
ted into third and fourth rate amusement
houses. The congregations are made up

BLUE GRASS BLADE
Current Comment on Public Events

largely of champagne -guzzling, beer-drink-
ing, wine-sizzling, Sunday-golf playing,
novelreading persons, who lie back and
sing. Throw Out the Life Line" when
they couldn't throw out clothes line"
Some of you ministers are controlled
by riches, and not by the Bible. Many of
you are grafters, pure and simple. You
preaching today that should be carrying
the hod."
How sadly and how solemnly true Just
what the Blade has been saying for, 10,
these many years. The Blade is, at last,
indicated, and its vndcation is none the
worse coming from such q source. But
one mistake did Billy Sunday make, and
that was that he failed to include himself
in the mollycoddles and grafters. Ten
thousand dollars for one revival may not
be grating in an orthodox sense, as view,
ed by Billy Sunday, but the time will come
when the people will have no other cog
nomen to bestow upon it. In any event we
are inclined to say with Gratiano I'VE
thank thee, Sunday, for teaching us these
words"
Two essential elements belong to every
miracle in order to gain credence for it
and induce a belief in it. These essential
elements are age and distance. Age gen.
orally puts unbelief at a discount while
distance may readily lend enchantment to
the view. Modern society does not quickly
fall to believing miracles unless their nat
ural trend is already in that direction. II
a person Is anxious TO believe in miracles
as a test of evidence of great faith any
sort of miracle will do. Incredulity de-
mands proof. Credulity accepts without
question.
Numerous miracles are reported in the
bible and without them the bible would be
of little consequence even in the orthodox
world. Miracles are essential to orthodox
Christianity. 1t required a miracle to
bring it into existence, miracles to propa-
gate it, but it will die without any supposed
miraculous event. Among the bible mira
cles there is none more unsupported less
believed in than the one reported by Dan
iel where he tells us that Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego successfully walked
about in fiery furnace without HARM not
even a hair singed or a blister raised. OF
course the orthodox insist that this saliva
ton from injury was all on account of their
great faith in Jehovah who is supposed to
have interfered with the picnic in order to
prove his existence and power and to
further confound his enemies. AS a gen.
eral rule Bible miracles are unsurpassed in
ferocity and criminal surroundings.
Word now comes from India, by way of
Madras, that during recent festival of re-
ligious import, non-Christian, by the way,
forty devotees of the faith walked through
a pit seventeen feet by twelve dressed
only in light, saffron colored clothes, in
which forty carloads of fuel has been set
on fire producing a bed of burning Goals
injured. The strangest part OF this re-
