The Way 1t Works

Chicago has over 1000 regulated, nigh
license saloons. The number of criminals
md paupers and insane and epileptics these
1000 and more grog-shops turn loose upon
society is beyond estimate. Nobody knows.
Every day, however, the newspapers report
ONE tragedy-some heart-rending story-in
which the saloon has prominent place. For
Instance, here is one as told by the Journal
If February 2:
Famshed and ill with tuberculosis, Mrs. Mary
smolarker, % years old, was found lying on
pile of rags on the floor of her home, 1918
sinnott place, early to-day, and was removed to
he county hospital by the West Chicago ave-
lue police who had been notified of her condi-
ion. She had had no food for four days. Ply
,icians believe she will die.
According to DR.. Walin, ambulance surgeon
he womans husband, Stanley Smolarker, was
ying on the floor intoxicated when he reached
he home. DR.. Walin learned from neighbors
hat Smolarker has not worked for two years,
md that his wife has supported him by wash
ng during that period
The Smolarkers occupied one small room in
shack at the rear of 1918 Sinnott place.
There was no bed in the room. 1t contained
only small table and battered stove. There
vas neither food nor fuel in the place.
Smolarker will be arrested on a charge of
ragrancy, according to the police.
And in the meantime the saloonkeepers
who sold the liquor to Smolaker will con-
,inue to do business at the same old stands
n the same old way. These are the regulat-
ID saloons, the kind that are knocking at the
gates of many of our Illinois cities and vii
ages for admission.
Mr.. Voter, it's up to you on April 2. Vote
for the women and children. Vote against
he saloon.

The Abbrevlstion Of Names.

Robert d. Heinl, who writes magazine
articles, and never overlooks a chance to
get a laugh at the expense of somebody
else, went one day to interview Speaker
Champ Clark Heinl knew, as everybody
else knows, that Mr.. Clark dislikes any
aristocratic pomp or affectation of any
kind. He also knew that the speaker,
whose name had originally been Beau
champ, had abbreviated It for popular
reasons.
"Heinl" asked the speaker. '-how on
earth did you ever shorten that name of
yours7 It should be spelled Helmet"

Religion and Medicine

sary as medicine, that the want Of re-
ligion frequently defeats the action Of
the best medicine.
Many chronic Invalid has searched
in vain for a physical remedy simply
because he has lost his grip on vital
religion, the religion that not only pro
vides salvation In the world to come.
but soundness Of body and mind in the
world that is.
Yes, there is most intimate re-
lation between medicine and religion.
Other things being equal, the irrelig-
ious man stands a poor chance Of get
ting well when he is sick. while the re-
ligious man frequently gets well in the
most astonishing way after the doctors
have all given him up to die. With a
firm faith in a rational religion and
an obedient use OF the right remedy
great many hopeless invalids could be
restored to perfect health.
Well, you have made II clear as to
what you mean by religion. But what
is the remedy you would recommend?
OF course I would recommend differ
ent remedies for different conditions.
But the particular remedy that I am
interested in at this time. the remedy
that meets more chronic ailments
than any other remedy I know of, is
Peruna- Peruna is a remedy for that
multitudinous group of ailments that

ments.

over the body. Those who believe
that a loving Father controls the des-
tiny of mankind are a great deal bet
ter prepared TO meet the vicissitudes
of life and to overcome disease than
the one who has no such faith. A
truly religious man makes a better
patient than an irreligious man
In using the word religion am not
referring to any particular kind of re-
ligion. The Jew and the gentle. the
Catholic and the Protestant, each have
a religion in which they believe. They
also agree IN the essentials.
A religious man may believe that 1t
is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get well. He
may believe that It is perfectly proper
for him to employ doctors and take
medicines. But he also believes that
when he has done the best he can
there is a higher power that has
charge of his affairs, that absolute
Justice viii be done him, that no evil
thing can befall a good man. He
goes forward with confidence, sick or
well, rich or poor, and gets a great
deal more comfort out of life than
the man who has no religion.
I have found myself saying many
times to people who have chronic
ailment, You need religion as we'll as
medicine. You need faith IN an over
ruling providence that guides every
thing to wise ends; that the affliction
of disease teaches a lesson that every
one should strive to learn"
This does not mean that sick people
are to sit down and trust that an over
ruling providence will do everything
Nothing of the sort. He Is to use
remedies guided by his best Judgment,
but in the use of them he can believe
that all things are wen and that in
the end all things will come out right
Any medicine has better chance to
cure a man who holds such a faith.
Some men are so faithless and I'M
believing, so restless and desperate
their minds so unsettled, that even
the best of medicine has little chance
to do them any good. Therefore say
that religion is often quite as neces-

WANTS CHURCH
CONDUCTED ON
TRADE METHODS
CHICAGO MINISTERS SAY MOD
ERN METHODS ARE GREATEST
AID TO PIETY-sAY DEBTS AND
POVERTY PREVENT MOST EF-
FECTIvE WORK.

Chicago, Oct 1e.-Poverty either in
the individual or the church is not as
helpful to piety as financial independ-
ence and business efficiency, according
TO the Rev. James Whitcomb Brough-
er, pastor OF the Temple Baptist
church of Los Angeles, who preached
last evening In the Lexington Avenue
Baptist church.
DR.. Brougher was led to describe
his ideas and methods Of church work
in answer to question as to whether
the business methods which had been
adopted by many churches have com
mercialized the church to the destruc-
ton of the spiritual work for which
the church was instituted.
Il am pastor of a church that last
year gave $4,000 to benevolent OBJ
jects, and whose budget for current
support was SIS, 500.' said he. I'VE
closed the year with $50 In the bank
to the credit Of the church. We be-
neve the church can do a better and
more spiritual work, just as a pastor
can, when 1t is not embarrassed in
paying it's debts. know that this is
not the common idea
Says Poverty Limits Evangelism.
Some people think in order to be
humble a pastor and church must be
under constant pressure as to their
support. But we believe the best
spiritual results come when q church
is lifted above the grinding sense of
need and can throw its whole strength
and thought In service for the COM
munity.
THE motto Of our church is, what
ever is Of interest to the community Is
of interest to the church. 1 have an
associate pastor, an assistant pastor
a private secretary, and an executive
secretary. We have also an advertis-
ing committee that Is authorized To
spend money to keep the church be-
fore the public. This brings the
crowds, but we have to deliver the
goods in order to keep them. We have
committees on all phases Of social
business, and church life. No one
pastor could do this work and no com
bination of workers could do 1t with
out business methods, system, card
catalogues, prompt payments, and
every feature that enters into the
work Of the best commercial houses.
Denies Church is ComnrerciaIixed
This Is not commercializtng the
church In the sense of destroying It's
spirituality, but Is treating the things
that are essentially commercial as
commercial, In order to release the
forces that make for spirituality where
they can exert the maximum amount
Of power"
THE minister who does not adopt
system and business methods in his
church work is a defeated man." said
the Rev. M. P. Boynton, pastor Of the
Lexington Avenue church. I'VE do al
of our church financial business
through the bank. and pay all bills
by checks. Instead of its being a hin
drance to spirituality, 1t is the only
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-10-20

Is there any intimate relation be-
tween religion and medicine?
Yes, there Is. The old-tinie healer
was also the priest Theology and
medicine have not maintained a sep
arate existence very long. They used
to be one. Yes, there Is an intimate
relation between religion and medi-
cine.
It h well known Of a person who
eats with unthankfulness and ill-na-
tured spirit, that his food viii not have
the same effect as If he were in q
kindly mood. The same is true Of
medicine. II person swallows a
medicine with suspicion, has no faith
in its action, Is more or less afraid
OF the one who gives him the medi-
cine, It cannot do him as much good
as II he had unwavering faith In 1t.
The mind has a wonderful influence

means for the preservatio non OF our self
respect"
Modern business efficiency in the
church Is the sign that the church is
beginning to take it's task seriously, ("
said the Rev. Henry Cope. general
secretary Of the Religious Education
Association. I'VE are just beginning
to substitute system for slipshod work,
and 1t would be strange If under these
improved methods the spirituality of
the church would decline"
Other ministers who have adopted
business methods in church work are
the Rev. Hugh T. Kerr, Fullerton Ave
nue. Presbyterian church, and the Rev.
T. P. Frost, First Methodist Episcopal
church, Evanston.
