convention was reported to have
declared, In effect, that the In
ternatioral Sunday School Lessons
were unjust to the Baptist churches.
AS a matter OF fact the OBJ
lection made by some OF the delegates
to the international Sunday School
Lessons related to only one phase OF
the lessons. Some years ago, 1t APP
pears, tho committee which outlines
the Lessons was prevailed on to adopt
a series of graded lessons for use in
the Junior classes OF Sunday schools.
IN these lessons, according to a NUM-
Der of authorities, the redcmptive char
acter OF Christs ministry was not
sufficiently emphasized. some of the
attendants Upon the convention in Bal
timorc were among those who held this
view, and they asked the convention
to appeal to the international Commit
tee to emphasize this side OF the les
sons. This naturally no more con-
cerned the Baptists than the Methodtsts
or Presbyterians or any other denomi-
nation, and was, in reality. part OF a
general movement which is to be taken
up among several denominations.
Viewed in this light, there was nothing
startling or in anywiso alarming about
the action of the Southern BAPTIST
Convention. 1t was simply a matter
of Judgment or a matter which was
in no sense dogmatic or dcnomina-
tional.
The Panama question was eXagger-
ated to a degree. 1t appears tina the
Southern Baptists maintain a number
of missionaries in the Panama. Zone,
who are doing their best under diff
culties to uphold the Church among
the thousands engaged in digging the
canal. Heretofore the Y. NJ. c. a. has
been the chief force In Christian work
in the canal and has advocated more
or less of a union between the various
missionaries OF the Zone. The Zap
lists at Baltimore decided that such a
union was not all that might be done,
and they put themselves on record as
favoring the erection of churches in
Panama to carry on Chrlstian work.
This was not a slap at the Y. NJ. C. a.
n was no more than many churches
have done in many missionary fields.
We are glad that this is the real
situation, because the reports which
came from Baltimore could hardly be
credited by those vino knew the real
sentiment Of the great BAPTIST Church
and appreciated the effort being made
by wise men within that Church TO in
crease love among all brothers and
to strengthen the bond OF Christian
unity. AS the matter turns out. this is
precisely what the Baptists did, Their
meeting was unusually cordial, end
the sentiments expressed by many of
the delegates indicated a degree of
Christian fellowship that appealed
very strongly to all who look for the
advancement of the Kingdom upon
Earth.

MINISTER AGAINST PROHIBITION.

announced that he will so on the lee

his retirement, VIC are told. will cause
| sincere regret in his parish. Many OF
the men and women to whom he has
ministercd in distress and want are
open in their expression of regret at
his removal. and feel thai q power for
righteousness will be gone when he
has left his community,
In the country at large. however,
among those governed by prejudice
and not by reason, Mr.. Wasson's de-
cision to speak against prohibition will
bring down anatlemas on his head.
He will be held up as an enemy Of
ri righteousness, an apostle of darkness.
and he will be cited in a thousand pull
lilo - q wa bA'o - go
ter of the Church speaking as the
champion OF high license and as the
avowed opponent of prohibition! The
very thought will be repulsive TO many
and will make many of his brothers
thank God that they are not as other
men. even as this Publican.
We do not know Mr.. Mason, and
consequently have only the opinion of
his parish on which TO form an csti-
mate of his character and sincerity; but
we know that he has the courage of
his convictions and has not hesitated,
at any time, to express his contempt
for statutory prohibition. lie believes
that high license is the best solution
of the liquor problem, and he has en-
pressed this belief in a hundred
speeches. Undaunted by opposition and
fearless in the face of abuse, he has
stood consistently against what he be-
lieves to be a shame and a deceit, He
has been reviled in a hundred pulpits
and condemned at a hundred meetings,
but he has kept on his way and has
not yielded a point.
This does not mean that Mr.. Mason
is a saint or a martyr, any more than
it means he is a hereto and an apostle
of evil, 1t merely means that il he be
sincere he deserves respect, and that il
he be honestly opposed TO prohibition
he has as much right to preach against
it as any minister has to preach for it,
If federation is more than a name, it
gives 10 every mar the right to his
opinion and the right to express that
opinion.
The time is coming when all but

OF this principle and will cease to de-

that prohibition is not the best solution,
or even a fair solution, of a problem
