PREACHER URGES
JOINING CHURCH
Rev. J. J. Muir Says Public Comics,
sion of Faith Was Demanded
BY Peter,

Application of the political slogan,
Turn the Rascal Out" to the churches
was discussed last night by Rev. J. J.
Muir, D. D., pastor of Temple Baptist
Church, in a sermon on why Church
Membership
Mr.. Muir said, in part:
Church membership began on the day
OF Pentecost, 1900 years ago. Those
affected by the preaching Of Peter be-
came confessors OF Christ, were baptized
and cast in their lot with the little com
pany of disciples who formed the nucleus
of the church life Of Christendom.
This earliest constituency Of Christians
is an object lesson for those inclined to
ask, Why church membership
TT is objected that a man can be a
Christian without formal church rela-
ton. Grant that he can. The thief on
the cross was saved, notwithstanding he
had no fellowship with the disciples.
Imagine the question raised at Pente-
cost. We can be sure that Peter and
his fellow apostles would have declared
that belief in Jesus Christ involved pub
lie profession and Identification with the
fraternity OF primitive believers. 1t
would not be surprising If some misgiv-
ings were had respecting the genuineness
Of that mans religion who raised such a
question.
There is another objection which
some take pleasure in urging. There are
so many hypocrits in the churches. Yes,
there was a Judas among the original
twelve. There are still found those who
use the livery Of heaven to serve the
devil in. But there are far more hypo-
crits outside the church. In every voca-
ton and profession. in all the walks Of
life, there are those false to every trust,
who disgrace their manhood continually
Because counterfeit coin gets into cir
culation no one refuses good money. The
fact that there may be hypocrits in the
churches should berevolently incline these
DIRECTORS to enter the churches in order
to improve the situation.
Turn the rascals out is a political
slogan. Your serious and prayerful CO.
operation is invited to do this in church
life. By precept and practice help to
tone up present day religion.
Be 1t known that the noblest people,
the most dtsinterested, the most self
denying, and self-sacrifcing. the best
friends of humanity. and who are most
loyal to God and duty are found in our
churches.

WOODWARD & LOTHROP.

Christ was to be executed without trial.
These assertions were made yesterday
by DR.. Syngman Rhee, a native Korean,
in the course of an address delivered
before the Sunday afternoon assembly OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. The lecture, which was
illustrated by more than 100 stereopticon
slides, was given under the auspices of
the TRANSFORMATIONS Club OF
this city, an organization of about 800
business and professional men interested
in extending the work of the Y. NJ. c.
A. in the foreign field.
DR.. Rhee said that the native Koreans
were rapidly taking up Western civili-
zatiOn, in large part as a result of the
work of Fletcher S. Brockman. national
Y. NJ. c. A. secretary for Korea, who is
supported in the field by the Twenty
four-Hour-a-Day Club of this city. He
described the work of the Seoul Y. NJ.
c. A. in teaching the natives the re-
ligion, customs, and trades of the Occi-
dent.

RAILROAD WASHED OUT;
ONE MAN DROWNED
Worst Freshet Since 1869 Experienced
Along the West River Railroad
Operations at Standstill.

/ Brattleboro, Oct. 25.--The West river
valley had the greatest freshet Wednes
day night that it has experienced since
the food in 1869, and all service over
| the West river railroad was at a stand.
still yesterday on account of several
washouts on the line.
Jedd ID. Bell, farmer about 20 years
of age, was drowned while returning
home from Peru village with his son,
Edward A bridge across Sawyer brook
about 90 rods from their home being out
as result of previous high water, they
had to ford the stream. Their horse was
quickly swept down stream and the ami
NAL was found drowned, short distance
below, yesterday morning. The young
man succeeded in getting ashore but a
large party of neighbors searched all day
in vain TO find the body of the elder
Bell.
The West river railroad, upon which
the entire West river valley. consisting of
a dozen or more towns, depends for mall
express, freight and passenger service,
was out of commission all day but ii is
expected that the washouts will be re-
paired so that light trains can pass to-
day.
There were four places between Towns
hend and Jamaica where the track was
washed away, some gaps being 70 feet
in length. The shoulder of the road was
torn out in dozen places on the road
between Jamaica and South Londonderry
One of these places was 80 feet in length
and others were just as badly washed
away by mountain streams. Two repair
trains with timbers, ties and rails were
sent up the line from Brattleboro.
