Chicago congregations who criticises

raised by the Chicago pastor were that

THE ISSUE MADE PLAIN.

The speakers at the Republican
ratification meeting Monday night
made it plain that there is but one
issue in the present campaign. The
Republican candidates went on record
squarely as advocating an end to the
wide open town" by the enforcement
of the laws. 1t was made plain that
there is no such thing as a reason
able" enforcement of the laws. One
law cannot be picked out and enforced
and another skipped and ignored. A
full enforcement of the laws is de-
manded by the representative citizens
of Ottumwa, and to this the Repub-
lican candidates have pledged them
selves The words of Captain d. A.
Emery, the Republican candidate for
mayor. in this regard set the matter
clearly before the voter without
equivocation. Captain Emery after
going fully into every question af-
fecting the government Of the city
made this statement:
The enforcement of law. not in an
offensive or puritanical manner but
with Justice and. equality is what is
demanded by all good citizens.
A law abiding community does not
mean a law prosecuted community. II
simply means that the general require,
ments of morality and decency will
and must prevail in that community
1t means that one interest as well as
another must conform to the statutes
and are not asked to do any more
That does not work a hardship on any
one and no community is right that is
not willing to abide by the law and
make an effort to live up to them.
That in my Judgment is the cor
rect view to take of law enforcement
Therefore, as far as | am concerned
"the enforcement of law" will be the
key note both of this campaign and
Of my administration.
There are only two sides in this
fight. There Is no middle ground. Or
the one hand the "open town" as we
| have had it for the past two years, fol
l presume the present incumbent, aft
err six years of experience is giving us
the best he has to give.
On the other hand "the enforcement
of law" which will clean up our city
improve our reputation aboard, ant
make Ottumwa a safe and desirable
place in which to live.
The line Is drawn straight in thi:
campaign. Does Ottumwa want the
wide open town" with the standing in
vitation it gives to the criminals ant
the thugs to make their home anon.
us, or does Ottunwa want to be legal,
governed by men whose first though
is to safeguard the homes and thu
! business interests of the people ant
make in every way cleaner, bette
and more progressive Ottumwa

vulgar in speech and action and tell
stories displeasing to a refined taste.
g. They take all the money out of the
parish and leave the regular minister
all the work to do. 4. Nobody was
converted by them in all the Engle-
wood district
1t seems strange to find a well read
preacher Directing to the appeal to
curiosity. Paul frankly appealed to 1t,
notably in his speech to the Athenians
on Mars hill The report in Acts VII.
shows that he seized upon curiosity
and stimulated it. AS a historic
method of evangelism 1t seems fully
justified. Of course the effective evan
gelist must do more than merely eX-
cite and crafty curiosity. He must
bring it to pass that at least some
who come to wonder remain to pray.
The remark about money seems to
be based on the assumption that the
regular" ministry is sort OF union
and that any one who gets any part
of the material rewards that the reg
ular" minister might otherwise receive
should be put on the unfair list. Of
course Mr.. Hopkins did not mean thae.
But his words as reported are most
easily subject to that construction.
The fact is that nothing revives
church more, spiritually and material
ly. than the results supposed to flow
from a real revival Of religion.
All the charge Of ''vulgarity' means
is that the discourses of the evangcl-
lists referred to are not pleasing to tne
taste of Mr.. Hopkins, as they are not
pleasing to the personal tastes OF q
great many others. And If it be lit
orally true-which we take leave to
doubt-that nobody" in the Engle-
wood district was Influenced by such
preaching to take more Christian
thought of his ways of living, than ali
we can say is that there must eX-
ist in that district a uniformity. OF
taste most extraordinary, otherwise
invisible and hitherto unsupported.
When he thinks it over again we
believe that Mr.. Hopkins will admit
that in a matter so individual and per-
sonal as the relations of human soul
to God and what may move soul 10
seek to change or readjust those rela'
lions, we should beware Of setting UP
as a standard for others our personal
tastes Or those of the social group In
which we happen to move.
Probably Mr.. Hopkin is absolutely
unmoved by the average Salvation
army eXhorter, for that is the case
with many man. When he has learn
ed to recognize the sincerity of tht
exhorter he may admire it, and still
be unmoved by the appeal, Yet such
appeals do move others. They reacl
and save men and women who are no
reached at all by the highly educated
preacher, with all his zeal and sin
cerity.
After all, it is results that count ant
nothing else. The evangelist, in
way, is justified by his works Hi
methods may displease us, and WI
may not understand why or how tn,
results can come. Yet when the.
come, as they undoubtedly have COM
with both Mr.. Sunday and Mr.. Smltl
in many places, we can but bow Z
them.

so fully and so well that comment /

however, that in every city wher
