Cast Iron Theology.

LRev. Frederick E. HOpkins.1
It il not strange that the theology Of
some people is a cast iron thing and
that their religion is disagreeable and
repulsive. They think it Is dangerous
or q waste Of time to read novel, and
that the road to perdition is thru the
doors Of a theater. They even call an
eloquent preacher a flower pot and their
ideal OF art is three women In flowing
robes standing under a stone arch and
called Faith. Hope and Charity. Now
the fact is that the four most powerful
instruments with which God awakens
the conscience are the tongue Of the
orator. the brush Of the painter, the
pen of the ready writer, and the art OF
the actor.
When man like Peter can compel
5000 men by one speech to confess their
faith in the same Jesus they .crucified

AR Sort, of Obini sns
Women Who Drink.

The drink habit among women il
treated in vein of strong reprobation
by the Christian Work and Evangelist
The practice is of recent growth, but
Its prevalence in the circles OF society
In our cities calling themselves re-
spectacle and even christian is gaining
a wider and wider hold women not
only drink cocktails before dinner now
in New York, but they drink strong
wines and much champagne, and It is
no uncommon thing to see them SO
flushed with drink that they lose all
sense Of modesty and say loose things
that. bad enough in men, sound horri-
Bile in women" This journal gives
some specific instances:
AT one dinner party given not many
miles from here. the company being
made up Of members Of society whose
names many would recognize, and who
go to church on Sunday, one Of the
women drank so indulgently that she
ran from the table and. in the pres
ence of a dozen men, attempted to
climb pillar in the room, amid the
clappings and cheering Of the drunken
guests. Another woman had to be put
in her carriage at the close Of this
dinner, and before the company had
broken up they attempted to sing q
christian hymn, about which gathered
the tenderest association OF years, to
comic-opera tune. These were peo-
pie who are received into our so-called
best society. and such actions do not
bar them from social recognition. A
woman who is connected with some Of
the most prominent families in New
York. and who. according to the papers,
has just taken a suite at one of our
best hotels. gave stag party once. a
party for women only, and at the close
while half-intoxicated and smoking a
big cigar, hurled plate at the buffers
head. an act which nearly cost her very
serious consequences"

THE POOR AND THE RICH.

Over 10000 people have signed pc
tition for the pardon Of Banker Morse
OF New York. Nevertheless Banker
Morse should serve his term TO the las,
day. He committed a crime that rob
bed poor people of their savings and
the fact that he is rich man should
not save him. If h.. was poor. a petit
ton to pardon him would not receive
fifty signers.

Buddhism in Japan.

O00oneom ~ Japan.
DR.. Kato. one OF Japan's foremost
philosophers and students. according
to Mr.. Hamblen, speaks his convictions
In these words:
I'm recent times Buddhism has done
nothing but 60 from bad to worse and
1t is today in a pitiable condition. It
Is just living on the small amount OF
more than half-spent energy that re-
mains to It, It still succeeds in giving
a certain amount Of comfort to ignorant
old men and old women on whom fits
priests manage to impose. 1t Is not the
Buddhist religion that is bad. but its
professors. AS a religion Buddhism is
superior to Christianity. but Christian
pastors are greatly superior to Budd-
hist priests. What the sect should aim
to do is to effect q practical reform in
the Buddhist ranks, to turn out q new
class OF Buddhist teachers, to save
Buddhism from extinction. Atho there
are among the Buddhists a small num-
Der Of highly respected and highly vir-
tuous priests, they are known more Is
scholars and men of refinement than
as teachers Of religion. Tho influence
they exercise on the millions Of pro-
Tossing Buddhists is Enthusiastically
small. Speaking Of the religion gen.
orally, we may say that 1t has descend
ed to the level Of a sale Of prayers and
ceremonies for such paymest as people
can be induced to make"
From the above. says Mr.. Hamblen.
lit will be seen that there are some, tho
friendly critics Of Buddhism in Japan
among the japanese themselves:
1.-THE picture they draw IL one OF dire
need. We. who know Christ. have the
means Of supplying this need is the
salvation which he has provided for
all men, and which we are commits.
stoned to proclaim to all the world.
Moreover It is required in a steward
that he be found faithful Japan needs
our help now. Shall we see that she
gets it?"

RECALLS THE BINDER SCANDAL


+. A. Smith, Of the Scranton Journal,
died at his home on Christmas day.
His passing calls to mind some things
which confirm our views of political
conditions in Iowa. Smith was men,
Der Of the legislature during the twen-
ty-sixth and twentyseventh general
assemblies. He was newspaper man
and chairman of the committee that
investigated the printing scandals
which were brought out during the
work Of the twenty-sixth when the code
was revised and an effort made to Sc
cure equitable rates. We have heard
from his lips some of the history of
that investigation. We know that his
associates on the committee and in the
legislature gave him credit for earnest
conscientious work: that he was not
anxious to punish any one. but he did
wish to protect the state from unjust
charges; that if he made mistakes they
were upon the side of mercy and that
he was more than charitable to the
printer and binder. notwithstanding
this, Lafe Young. who was then state
binder, has pursued Smith ever since
with a vindictiveness which should
shame any man with heart These
and similar reasons make us hope
that Iowa shall not long have Mr..
Young in the senate. We believe Mr.
Young man Of ability but we do not
believe him man that we can trust.
Mr.. Smith was appointed on the board
Of parole. and it was his expense ac-
count that was cut. because he had
put in the price of bath while he
was out on state business

Miracles Of 1910.

A reunion Of persons who have been

Hotel Condo in Paris few days ago.

ed upon them, and this year was no
exception to the rule. Woman after
woman arose and told the story OF her
sufferings and final cure, but only one
solitary man narrated his experiences.
He was little more than a boy. He
spoke fluently Of his ailment, which
was acuthe heart trouble and articular
rheumatism. and Of the change which
three baths at Lourdes had effected.
Among the women were four who
said they had suffered from cancer and
had been given up by their doctors be-
fore they were taken to Lourdes. In
one case single bath was all that was
number Of dimensions gave the suffer.
ers back their health and strength.
There were several tuberculosis pa.
spinal trouble and one young woman
who had five separate and distinct
complaints, all healed after two baths.
In many cases doctors testified as to
the genuineness OF the cures. All thru
the telling Of the so-called miracles
there were murmurs OF sympathy and
surprise from the hundred Of people
gathered in the rooms.

The Bible and the Stage.

nc Os0bO 0V0 yOO Stage.
We American people have a way OF
doing things backward" DR.. Boynton
said
We have thrown the bible out of the
public schools and allowed the holy
book to be exploited by the theatrical
stage. II there were such a thing as
art for arts sake and reverential
presentation OF scripture themes there
are certain portions Of the bible that
could be healthfully staged. but when
a commercialized theatrical world
takes the sordid and the bloody Of the
biblical themes ard stages the oriental
vices and lifts into the limelight OF the
modern world those practice. and sins
OF decayed nation. the stage commits
q profanation.
'The recent staging Of 'Salome' in
so-called grand opera is an example
OF the ruin that comes from the dam
gerous liberty given the American
stage today.
"Ch!ef Of Police Steward is to be
heartily congratulated upon the sensi :
BILE and timely criticism he made of
that production, when he said that the
acrtess reminded him OF cat wal}ow-
ing in a bed Of catnip. He struck off
rs to grip the imagination OF the city
and turn the laugh on that silly busi-
ness of the 'salome' dance.
In this time. when the United Chari-
ties are appealing for 100000 with
which to feed the poor, and nearly ev-
cry charity Of every sort in the City Of
Chicago is heavily in debt. 1t is a telling
comment upon the character Of our
wealthy classes that they should have
paid $14,500 to see the wicked 'Salome'
dance.
I'VE must protest against the pollut-
ing hand of the stage using biblical
themes to entertain the thoughtless and
wasteful prodigals of the day.
