Kicked by mule? Well, even If
that were so, it wouldn't delay you for
more than an hour. You'll have to.

Policy on Existing Problems.
Troy, N. Y, July 9.--Rev. LOOMS o.
Black, pastor of the First Universalist
church and one of the most popular
clergymen of Troy, has surprised his
congregation by his announcement
that he will retire from the ministry
Aug. to devote his time to socialistic
work. An offer of double his salary
failed to swerve him from his purpose.
He says he never again will occupy
a pulpit as pastor.
II have been brought to take this
step by the fact that the church has
no definite policy" said Mr.. Black,
NOR does it desire to have any on the
problems before the country today.
"The church has absolutely no de-
sire to WELD any influence to help the
common people get fair play. It is
not back of any organization of men
to get their rights. The moneyed
classes control the attitude OF the
church toward any problem"
