DEFENDS CHURCH

Pastor Tipple Tells Why
Methodism Is in
Rome.
RESENTS STAND
OF THE VATICAN
Declares That Methodists Are
Urgently Needed and Are
There Under Sanction of
Italian Laws-Says Catho- !.
lie Church Is Playing
With Fire.

Rome. February 27.-The American
Methodist Church was crowded this
morning, the congregation including
many American visitors, who were at
tracted by the subject of Pastor B. NJ.
Tipples sermon, why Methodism Is
in Rome"
1t was in the American Methodist
Church that Charles W. Fairbanks, eX-
Vice President of the United States de-
livered the address which shut him off
from being received in audience by
the Pope. an incident which has Gre
ated much discussion in Rome, as well
as in the United States.
Rev. Mr.. Tipple said the Methodist
Church was meeting with great sue
cess throughout Italy. Such an infer
ence could be drawn from the extraor-
dinary action Of the Vatican with re-
itard to the proposed visit of Ex-Vice-
President Fairbanks to the Pope. and
also from the bitter resentment of the
Catholic clergy. AS Mr.. Fairbanks
spoke in the American Methodist
Church, the pastor said 1t was fitting
that from the same pulpit the charges
preferred against Metnodism in Italy
should be considered.
Have Right in italy.
with reference to the assertion that
Methodists have no right to be in
Italy said the preacher. the answer
is that we are here under the Italian
laws, guaranteeing religious freedom.
Another assertion by the Catholics is
that Methodism is not needed in italy.
But Methodists believe that the need
Is urgent. as the Catholic Church is al
ways more efficient for good when
compelled to compete with aggressive
professionalism as conspicuously evil
denced in America.
The Catholic Clurrh s,iffeFs enfbar-
rassnent when 1t is required to salts
fy the Ideals of a great liberty-lovinE
republic contemporaneously with heed
Ing the demands of the Vatican, which
is still bound by the ideals of the Mid
die Ages. This is proved by the ex-
perience of Archbishop Ireland, when
he was here a year ago, studying the
Methodist propa ganda. A great Lincoln
banquet was arranged by the Ameri-
can colony. Very properly. Archbishop
Ireland was asked to speak. Very
properly, as patriotic American citi-
zen. he accepted the invitation, but
suddenly the good archbishop recalled
his acceptance.
THE Vatican had forbidden him to
speak or attend the banquet because
a toast to President Roosevelt was
followed by toast to the King Of
Italy.
Needs Methodism.
"Italy needs Methodism because 1t is
no longer Catholic, except In name.
"The Issue in ItalY to-day is not
Professionalism versus Catholicism. but
faith versus atheism. Archbishop Ire
land has said that every convert to
Methodism cost $1,000. II that Is true
cannot the American Methodists better
afford to pay 1t than every three
Italian laborers who carry one priest?"
The pastor urged that Archbishop
Ireland specify the dishonorable Meth
odists here, and he added:
TT is playing with fire for the Cath
olic Church to open the subject OF
moral methods in Italy

Especial to The Times Dispatch.1 ]


Macon. Ga. February 27.-Passenger
trains in Georgia are unable to make
their schedules because of the numer-
Gus cars loaded with whiskey which
they carry, according to commercial
travellers who have been investigating
the problem of late trains, which Is
causing much irritation.
Commercial agents who travel out of
Chattanooga and Jacksonville into
Georgia have issued the statement that
every passenger train that leaves those
places carries three express cars
packed to the roof with whiskey AT
every stop time is lost in delivering
the wet packages to the thirsty
Georglans. At every transfer point
where other roads intersect there was
long wait for the express employees
to deliver the whiskey marked for
these points.
"on recent trip from Jacksonville
to Macon said commercial traveller,
my train arrived over an hour late
because of the time lost in waiting on
express men to unload packages of
whiskey at various places along the
line. The same thing is occurring on
every road in Georgia, and explains
why no passenger trains are arriving
on time"

Washington. February 27.-The army
has Just adopted a new type of ma
chine gun, that has some remarkable
points of advantage over the exist
ing guns. The new weapon is so small
that it can be carried by man or two.
While full equipment of stands and
ammunition can be packed upon a
mule. Moreover, it has this advan
tage. that 1t can be fired from the
shoulder and consequently is much
less subject to attack and capture by
the enemy The ammunition is car
ried on steel strips and the new gun
is said to he free from danger of
choking, while the barrels are carried
in duplicate, and can be almost in
stantly changed when they become
heated from rapid firing.
