SLUR AROUSES RECTOR
REV. DR.. SMITH REPLIES TO
INNUENDO IN LETTER.
Declares the Church Is Doing What
She Can Against Saloons and
Its Victims.

Some days ago Rev. DR.. c. Ernest
Smith, rector of ST. Thomas Pc. Church.
received a message calling attention To
certain measures to be taken against sa-
looms. closing with the declaration THE
church is SILENT
The sentence aroused the clergyman.
and in his sermon yesterday morning he
sneer,' said DR.. Smith, was this innuendo
that the church is so wrapped up in it
self as to have no care for the victims of
the saloons and the disorderly houses, the
sweating shops and the loan sharks. But
is this true?
Criticism of Jesus.
ut is terrible to think it is. Yet there
are men who believe it. Men have been
known to hiss the minister of the church
while applaudfng the name of Jesus.
These and such men believe it true. Well,
there is nothing new about the charge.
John the Baptist thought Jesus did not
care, and said SO when he lay bound in
Herod's dungeon. The disciples thought
Jesus did not care when they were storm
tossed on the lake and their boat was
ready to founder.
DOUBTLESS. when ST. Paul sent back
the runaway slave to his master men
thought the apostle did not care what
happened to Philemon, and that st. Paul
was silent about the great wrongs Of the
nounced slavery.
"A wise physician deals not with symp-
toms. but with causes. He does not pre-
scribe for the rash on the skin. but for
the fever which has caused the RASH So
the church.
Gospel Panacea of All Evils.
"She is preaching the Gospel not only
because this is her duty, but because it is
the panacea Of all evils. Doing that she
is best of all showing her love and care
for the suffering children of men. No.
she is not silent. To the ends of the
earth she is sending her missionaries, as
well as to all parts of our own land. to
tell the story of what Christ has done.
Noble clergy, like William Hobart
Hare, late Bishop of South Dakota, who
made a Christian nation of the Sioux, and
devout laymen like Mahlon N. Kline. late
ly gone to his rest, who gave magnificent
ly Of time and money, are at work every
where. If. indeed. there be some criticat
Christian men and women who stand
aloof and do not help her in her war
fare, blame. not the church.
"She is doing what she can. Her mar
shaled battalions are not at ease In
Zion"

MOODY RETIREMENT
MAY COME QUICKLY
Senate and House Act on
Resignation Bill.
SUCCESSOR AT THIS SESSION
Senate Committee Reduces Option
Period to Five Months as Hint for
speedy OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO
Recess NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BAH
Probably VIII Pass Tomorrow.

Congress is now ready TO put through
the Lodge-Gillett bills authorizing the
retirement of Associate Justice William
II Moody. Of Massachusetts, on full pay.
The bills were reported yesterday from
both the Senate and House committees
on judiciary. The Senate bin was called
up Immediately in that body by Senator
Clark. bat objection 10 its consideration,
except by full membership. being raised
by Senator Bacon, 1t went over until
to-day. when Il viii again be called up
and passed. The Gillett bill was unani-
mously agreed upon by committee and
reported by Representative Clayton, Of
Alabama, a Democrat, It Is planned to
pass it Monday under suspension of the
rules.
The Lodge bill wac amended by the
Senate committee 50 as 10 reduce the
period OF option granted Justice Moody
from six 10 five months. This is re-
garded as a delicate hint 10 the Justice
that an immediate resignation, under
the permission contained in the act. is
regarded as advisable by the Senate. II
Is probable that the House bill VIII be
amended TO conform with that Of the
Senate.
At the meeting Of the Senate judiciary
y
but informal discussion OF the principle
involved in the retirement of Justice
Moody, and Of the important question Of
the appointment OF his successor.
Senate Position slated.
It was the consensus Of opinion that II
would be far better. if Mr. Moody should
retire Immediately. The opinion was ex-
pressed that no man appointed TO the
vacancy on the Supreme bench should
take his seat in advance Of confirmation,
and a very decided. although informal
opinion registered, that II a recess ap-
pointment We're made, and the appointee
should take his seat before Congress as
sembles in December, he would not be
confirmed by the Senate.
It was made clear by members OF the
committee however, that no criticism OF
any possible appointment Of President
Taft was intended The Presidents views
have always been that he would not make
a recess appointment TO the Supreme
Court
In view then OF the necessity fer a ful
bench in October. In order that the cor
porati0n cases may be reargued at ar
early date as possible, Il was thought
that, all things considered, 1t would be
better for Mr. Moody Immediately TO avail
himself OF the privilege contained IN The
act and tender his resignation at once.
This would permit the President TO ap-
point his successor, and the Senate 4
confirm him before the adjournment OF
the present session Of Congress mex
week. It IS believed that this VIII b'
done. IT is understood that Mr.. AiOOd1
is willing TO follow the advice OF hi
friends here who have provided the pres
ent means for his retirement from tn,
court, because Of III health. without sac
Tihcing the salary which attaches 20 tn
Office and TO which he would be entitIet
for life could he serve out ten years.
