Jathos offense, however, does not lie
merely in his heterodoxy. 1t lies in his
perilous success. While the orthodox Ger
man preachers are often dry and unin-
spring. the parson Of Cologne displays in
his hereSeS an apostolic fervor which
recalls the zeal of the early Christians.
With all his unattractive exterior and
little learning Jatho is a remarkable
man. He is simple. plain-living. dsin-
tereSted, void of ambition and without
the desire to lead. and ne is beneficially
absorbed in useful local work. His con
gregatiGn Is large, cultured and entirely
under his sway He has been a success.
If he has driven some conservatives out
OF his particular fold by his startling doc
trines he has admittedly held within the
sphere of Christian morals thousands OF
doubters and indiferentiSts who without
him would have swollen the increasing
army OF uncompromiSing secuarists. But
this kind of success is naturally distaste-
full to Prussian orthodoxy, and for sew
eral years past the leaders OF the state
church have been waiting to give Pastor
Jatho a fall.

The anti-Jatho party had some rea-

that Jatho be prosecuted. or forbidden to
preach what he likes, but merely de-
clared that he should no longer be al
lowed to use a Christian pulpit to under
mine the doctrines, .tenats and spiritual
conceptions of Christianity. They were
frightened by the fact that Jatlo does
not stand alone Hundreds of German
liberal clergymen think with him, but
are content to say by implication what he
says explicitly
How to deal with Jatho, however, has
been hitherto beyond the resources Of the
Prussian state. The expulsion of Protes-
tant clergymen for heresy is unknown in
modern Germany. The supreme church
council has nominally the right Of ey-

to use 1t. Until lately any pastor who

On warm summer mornings when
it is too hot to enjoy violent plays
and you are looking for something
new to do, try putting out lot of pa.
per clothes to dry. The clothes are
cut from stiff. white, brown or striped
paper, or any sort of paper which
would look like clothes that are being
washed. You may cut out any sort of
garment that you like, but remember
that it must be cut out so that it
looks as if the arms were hung up to
the line. The clothesline is made OF
a cord and hung from one small up
right post to another. Any thing
which will stand up will do for the
posts which are to hold the lines,
