MEN AND RELIGION.
Challenge Of the Church to the Men
and Religion Forward Movement
BY JOHN MCDOWELL,

BY JOHN MCDOWELL.
The challenge of the Church to the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
is inspired by the responsibilities and
possibilities of the hour-the RESPONSE
bilities relate to the church, the posi-
bilities to the movement. Were the
church to allow this opportunity to go
by without direct challenge in behalf
of Jesus Christ and His kingdom here
on earth, it would be guilty of unpar-
donable neglect and recreant to a most
sacred duty. What then is the chal-
lenge the church has to make to the
Men and Religion Forward Movements
The church's challenge is fivefold.
First The church challenges the
movement to affirm that religion is the
fundamental necessity of life.
Second The church challenges the
movement to maintain the reliabilities
of the scriptures as revelation of God g
will for man and all of his obligations.
This is call to stand for the suprem-
acy of the bible, not as a book of sci
ence, though it contains science, philo-
sophy, literature, ethics, character. etc.
The bible men Luther, Knox, Glad.
stone, great statesman and our i'm
mortal Lincoln. The church calls us
to stand for the supremacy of the bible
as an organization builder.
Third. The church challenges the
movement to assert unqualifiedly the
sufficiency of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
to fill the needs of the twentieth GEN.
tury. Certain critics are telling us that
Christ and His Gospel are not equal to
the problems of the twentieth century.
They teach that the gospel is played
out. They write and talk as if Jesus
Christ was still in Joseph's tomb. He is
here and His gospel is not played out.
It is just beginning to be played in. All
sorts of substitutes and supplements
are offered today for the gospel.
Fourth. The church challenges the
movement to maintain the adaptability
OF the church as an agency Tor apply
ing the gospel of Christ to the needs of
the world Men inside and outside Of
the church are given to criticising the
church frequently and freely in these
days.
Fifth. The church challen ges the
movement to make religion attractive
and effective. First, they must cham
pion the cause of justice. What the
world is discussing today is not justifi-
cation, but justice. The things which
are burning In the hearts of men today
are the things which pertain to the
questions of right, and the questions Of
justice. Our business is to build socie-
ty on the mind of Christ, and to do this
we must champion the cause Of justice.
II religion is to be made attractive and

Life Crushed Out.

BY the caving in of one of the banks
of the sewer being laid on Hickory
street north about noon Saturday, Peter
Deik, a Roumanian laborer lost his life.
Although warned by his fellow-laborers
that the sides of the trench were soft
and in dangerous condition, Deik evil
IDENTIFY thought it was safe to proceed
with his work of placing the tile with
out bracing the sides and had just lean
ed oyer to place the first tile when one
bank slid in and caught him in such a
manner as to crush his side, break his
collar bone and tear several ribs loose
Other employees dug him out as quick.
ly as possible but the man breathed his
last in q moment or two after being
lifted to the ground. Coroner Cole and
DIR. w. E. Ward were called and after
an examination was made by the latter
MIR. Cole decided an inquest was unnec-
essary. Mr.. Deik was about 30 years
of age, had been in the emplov Of Z. Nd.
Schefiow, the contractor, for several
years and was regarded as good work
man. He resided with his brother at
the corner Of Shiawassee and Cass
streets. Funeral services were held at
the Catholic church Monday morning
and the ipterment made in the Catholic
cemetery. No blame can attach to the
contractor or any of the employees for
the accident.

The Registry Stamp.

The new ten cent registry stamp will
be issued by the Postoffice Department
for use within a short time. 1t is light
blue with the design of spread eagle.
For registry purposes it is possible to
use the regular stamps. but it will be
advisable to affix the special stamp in
stead as there is less likelihood of its
being overlooked, and with the letter
or packages marked registered" this
will call double attention to the fact.
This also applies to special delivery
letters for which the regular stamps
may be used, but it is better to have
the special delivery stamp instead.
