Indifference to the Church.

1T seems to me that this indiffer-
ence is more pronounced in America
than in England, just as orthodoxy is
more strictly denied and more UNI
yielding over here. And where there
is indifference to the church | can
form no other conclusion than that the
church itself is to blame Yet the
need of religion never has been great
er in any age or country than in this
country and in the day we live in.

ance-bGt can also give you valuable

The Atlanta Journal is daily skin

tinctly remembered that the Journal
was very careful not to attempt this
while the last gubernatorial campaign
was on. The Journal and its master
were profoundly subserYient in their
politeness toward Thomas. They
really didn't want to riIe the gentle
man from Thomson just about that
time.

Didn't Want to Do 1t.

Il didn't want to do it, said Dr.
Aked when asked as to his reasons for
attacking the methods of existing or
CARNATIONS for religious work and
thus laying himself open to the charge
of muck raking" the churches. i
have been more or less a storm cen
ter ever since l entered the ministry
and I had planned for quiet and rest.
Besides it o ccurred TO me that it
might be felt that my Americanism
was of too recent an origin to entitle
me to the role of critic, but the word
had to be spoken and the opportunity
to speak it in way that would reach
a host of thinking men and women
throughout the country came to me,
and so l am trying to perform the task
that seems to me absolutely necessary
to the salvation of Christianity"

Smaller Membership and Waning
Influence.

"The question of the decreasing
membership and waning influence of
religion-the churches-is not a de-
nominational question" continued DR..
Aked. 1T is not a national question.
1t is a question as wide as Christian
ity itself. Conditions in America are.
broadely speaking, the same as in
England and in England as in the rest
Of Europe. can see the difference in
this country since l first visited the
United States, fifteen years ago. The
danger is not from direct attack on
religion. The denial of belief that is,
atheism, has spent its force What
the churches have to fear is a more
insidious Indifference. The
man in the street says the church is
a back number He feels that he can
do without it. If you ask him whether
he believes in God, in the existence of
an infinite power superior to man, the
chances are that he will say yes. But
question of dogma, distinctions of
creed, do not interest him and he re-
fuses to concern himself about them.
He has made up his mind that he can
get along without religion-that is, re-
ligion as it has been expounded to
him. But that does not mean neces-
sarily that he is irreligious.

New York, June 15.-The racing sit

when Assistant District Attorney I'll
der Of Brooklyn came out with an
open threat to close the tracks and
toros the discontinuance of racing I'M
less efforts to place bets at the tracks
are Immediately discontinued. Mr..
elder said that despite the assurances
made to him by the race track officials
and the special policemen at the
track he is confident there was no
sincerity in those assurances. IF the
law is not lived up to both in letter
and spirit" said he, the police will
raid the track and close it up just
as they would any common gambling
place. We have authority to do this
and for precedent can refer to the
case of Delaney VS.. Flood, which
was passed upon by the court OF APP
