member.
CINCINNATI, July 24.-'I heartily
agree with Dr. Eliots expressed ideas.
I believe such views are in accord with
those entertained by theologians of the
leading educational institutions.
DIR. Eliots reference to the work of
a surgeon being part of the duties
growing out of the new religion, 1
take an illustration of practical bet
terment to be sought. which we include
in the blessings to be derived by the
employment Of medical skill"
Rev. DR.. Robert Watson, pastor of
the Church of the Covenant (Presby
terian) said: When we eliminate
the supernatural from religion we are
simply going back to an old form
of paganism, heathenism, ethical or
otherwise. What we want to do is still
more closely unite the supernatural and
the general betterment in this life,
which DR.. Eliot emphasizes as the
great object of the new religion, and is
what all religious people are supposed
to be devoting themselves to-"

A Sensible Prediction
By DIR. j. X. MCLEAN, president Pacific
Theological Seminary, Berkeley

cit is a very sensible prediction. The
trend of modern religion is undoubted-
ly moving in the direction pointed out
by Doctor Eliot and his prediction coin
cides exactly with my opinion. AS Doc
tor Eliot said, man must be led, not
driven, and God must DE loved, not
feared. in order to be properly wor-
SHIPPED. AS can be seen from Doctor
Eliot's remarks, no hell will be recog-
nized except that which dwells In a
mans conscience Doctor Eliot may,
perhaps, have stated his case rather
strongly, but in view of the trend of
modern religion the state outlined by
him is sure to come"

Must Be Authority

BY REV. L. j. SAWYER, Hamilton
Square baptist church.
There can be no religion without
authority, and if DR.. Eliot has been
correctly quoted to the contrary eff
feet, 1 must disagree with him. A man
must have authority on which to base
his religious beliefs and experience.
If he finds that authority in himself,

Must Accept Revelation
By REV. G. A. BERNTHAL. pastor st.
Paulus Evangelical Lutheran church.

Every religion which deserves the
name as such must acknowledge the
revelation of God. There must be
behind it the firm conviction that the
only revelation we have is from the
true God, given to us in holy scrip
ture- This revelation of holy scripture
is highly elevated over any change of
time and any religion which is not
in full conformity with such revela-
ton of holy scripture would never
find my approval or acknowledge

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
TRENTON. N. J.. July 24.-Dr. Eliot.
I am Informed, is a Unitarian, and there
fore denies the trinity and the divinity
of Jesus Christ. Consequently he is not
a Christian. 1t is easy, therefore, to
draw the conclusion that our ideas upon
religion must be very different.
1t would be ludicrous, were it not so
pitiable, to hear a man of DR.. Eliot's re-
puted learning and character outlining
the church of the future" God help
humanity when it has to deal with the
so called religion of the future"
The doctor says that the religion of
the future will be bound by no dogma
or creed. In that case it will be a sort
of nondescript, jellyfsh religion-it
will be hard to find. not easily caught
and difficult to retain.
am anna zed when I hear of presumed
learning talking of religion without
dogma or creed. 1t is like talking of
building a house without a foundation.

Sacraments and Justice
BY REV. DIR. f. X. STRONG, pastor
Trinity Presbyterian church.

By REV. DIR. E. X. STRONG, pastor
Trinity Presbyterian church.
II do not believe that there can be
church which may exist without
the sacraments. DR.. Eliot would have
the church of the future so existing,
but there is primary fault in his
conception.
IT believe that the idea of justice is
fundamental with God. We can not
have a religion without justice and God
is justice. The propositions advanced
by DR.. Eliot require study before they
can be discussed properly in full, but
those criticisms 1 have made are based
on fundamental and enduring precepts
of religion"

The Saloon Code.

The Illinois liquor dealers at their state convention, held last week, ap- proved the following "cOde of ethics:"
 ITO prohibit the serving of drinks to any female to be drunk at a public bar.
 ITO prevent gambling for money in any and all forms upon the premises.
 ITO conduct place of business so ty instead of hindrance, and to re- spect the wishes of neighbors in every possible way.
 gro discontinue the promiscuous giving of Christmas presents in any form whatever.
 ITO stop the sale of five-cent growlers and limit the sale of beer in buckets to residents of the immediate neighborhood.
 "To exclude from all saloons and public bars all indecent pictures and cards, and discourage the use of in- decent pictures or labels for advertis- ing purposes by the makers or dealers in liquors, cigars and cigarettes" This is ''code of ethics" that Is in line with the endeavors of the trade as given expression at practically all the liquor dealers conventions throughout the country. and is follow ing out the expressed determination of the dealers to make the 1iouor busi- ness respectable" A general adoption of such a "code" will have its effect without a doubt, in giving respectable ity to the traffic-and, incidentally, in cutting down its profts.-Hartford POsf

NOT OBLIGED TO ACT AS CAR
 RiER,

While the people are becoming more and more surprised by the conduct of Commander Peary, it must be admit ted that he was not obliged to bring the records and instruments left at Etah by Dr. Cook in the custody of Harry Whitney. It would have been extremely courteous for him to have done SO, and were they on board the Roosevelt now instead of cached in the arctic regions it would have been well for Peary and prompted the people to have overlooked much of the ema- nations of jealousy which have come from Peary and cost him the respect of the people.
 Commander Peary talks glibly about the settlement of the controversy, but since Dr. Cook refuses to get into a quarrel with him or to talk otherwise than respectfully of him, he is having a hard time making tine issue.
 It is apparent now that Peary had been informed for some time that Dr.. Cook had returned from the north and on his way hack to civilization, and was aware of what was in the air, and this accounts for his sensa- tional haste which prevented him from cabling first the loss of Professor Mar win and the customary praise and ex- precision of regrets which mark such loss to an expedition.
 Commander Peary is playing the part of mad man and he is in dam ger of reaping mad mans reward.

Prosperity and Gold Imitation.

Those who are not old enough to re- member the economic circumstances of the world in general between the middle of the '70s and the beginning of the sos will have clear recollection of the serious distress caused by the shrinkage of the gold production all over the earth. Prices fell disastrous ly. Trade shrank. The poorer nations eyre overwhelmed by the burden of their debts. Many of them had to re- pudiate those debts. Others entered into compromises with their creditors. Turning from that picture of distress, it will be fresh in the memory of ev- cry reader what relief has been given by the constantly increasing gold pro- duction of South Africa. Prices have risen very generally. Trade has been stimuli ated in every direction. The burden of debt has ceased to press overpoweringly upon the poorer na- tions. One after another these nations have been resuming payment of inter- est, and generally speaking. the pros- perity of the world has enormously in- creased.-London Statist.

HOW GEORGIA HAS THRivEN.

Georgia is getting now where she attracts attention as a manufacturing state as well as an agricultural. and the total value of her manufactures are half again as much as the total volume of her cotton crops, or $780, ooo,00o against s100.o0000o The re- suit of forty years progress shows that Georgia's per capita wealth has increased more than 100 per cent dur ing the last forty years along with an attendant increase in the popula- ton of fully 125 per cent. The as- seseed value of the taxable property in Georgia reached the impressive to- tai of s7oo,oo0,o0O for the year 1908, although the assessments represent only about SO per cent. of The proper ties actual value. Today the actual wealth of the state, including taxed and untaxed property is undoubtedly around s1.50o, 900. .ooo.
 Georgia is not only growing agri- culturaliy, but has natural resources of great value. and her marbles, granites and clxys, her coal and iron. her kao- lin, beauxite and magnesium, her gold and other metals, promise to contrib ute mere and more to the revenues of the people.

CORN IS KING.

Notwithstanding the constant yell from the south that Cotton is kinkin it is claimed in other parts of the country and has to be admitted that Corn is king" Down in New ter- sey they have not yet learned that Connecticut holds the record as the producer of the greatest number of bushels of corn per acre in the world; and the Newark News is claiming that Jersey Is the state of big corn, if not a big state, and then 1t tells this story:
 The prize-winning cornstalk this year. so far as heard from to date, Is one grown by Farmer Layer of Ber- hn. in Camden county near the Bur- iingtor line. It Is sixteen feet high. apd Is tho center of much interest and admiration at the Gibbsboro fair. How many ears are on it and what their size is not stated. New Jersey has long been recognized as one of the best corn states in the union. Every agricultural fair is adorned with ex- hiolts of enormous stalks, and practi- ,cally every man who was brought up on a Jersey farm recalls more than one field of corn in which the ears were so far from the ground that a man could just reach them. At the Buffalo exposition, Secretary Franklin Dye exhibited New Jersey corn that made the western growers look with amazement, it so far surpassed their own exhibits If they ever get to making paper out of cornstalks on a successful commercial basis, New Jer- sey will be able to furnish a good sup ply of the raw material"

WORRIED ABOUT THE PREsi.
 DENT,

Some of our democratic contempo- rayies are showing signs of hysteria over the conduct of the president, and are protesting against a use of the public moneys for the purpose of un- dsrmining Tafts health, just as If they really cared whether he did so or not. Hear this from the Boston Post:
 How has the country profited? Let us take a typical day in President Taft's western trip. He shook hands with the mayor and reception commit tee of a Colorado town. Received a platter of mountain trout and basket of raspberries offered for his break fast. Was driven to some hot springs, and regretted his inability to bathe in them Lunched with a friend; took an auto ride in the mountains; moved on to tell tho people of two other towns that they lived in a region as beautiful as any he had ever visited. Got some sleep but was reused at 2 a. m. to receive the salutations of cowboys.
 'Is this public business of import ance? Is 1t not, on the contrary, abuse or the president TOT the gratihcatlon of idle curiosity and municipal van ity7 The duties of the presidential ofice tax the strongest mind, the stoutest body. Should we saddle the incumbent with the added burden of travel for exhibition purposes? Why spend the public's money to under mine the presidents health?"
 The president knows what he can endure, and he knows how to win the support of the people for himself and his party and is doing it. Our demo- cratic friends should not make them selves sick worrying over his meth ods and success.

SCHOOL TEACHERS PROVIDED
 FOR.

It will interest and encourage the members of the Teachers Guild of Connecticut to know that United States Senator Oliver has given a quarter of million dollars as a pen sion fund for the public school teach CTS of the city of Pittsburg, Pa, which will yield an income of $10,00O a year or more for this worthy object. With reference to the acceptance of this princely gift, the Springfield Republi- can says: Tt is very obvious that the city should accept it only on con- dition that the fund be placed abso- lutely in it's possession and under it's regulation and control. Only by mak- in git public instead of a private pension fund could Pittsburg accept such a gift consistently with the prin- ciple that public servants must be wholly under the direction and con trol of public authorities"
 Let us hope that differences of opin- ion along these lines will not result in hoId-up of such a deserved reward.
