WHAT THE GREAT RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT MEANS AND Is

Inns Is a time OF conventions and

'neighbors. = 'And"snow, March 11-1e
comes the long looked for and much
talked Of Men and Religion Forward
Movement. We have read much. but
what is it9 From city to city men have
gone proclaiming o message. Crowds
have gathered, committees have met
and meetings have passed.
These men are men trained to re-
ligious work, to study tho methods Of
success, Of presentation to men Of the
world today. They are men who have
succeeded and who now. after formu.
lating the principles that unde.Ee their
success, 60 about to tell others Of their
plans and works. Even religious work
proceeds along common sense lines. The
apostle did not simply follow. his nose:
He chose the great Roman highways
he selected the great centres Of life.
'government; education, trade and trav.
.el. He chose the synagogues ahead be
as son Of Abraham had a right. to ap.
pear and speak to his fellows So tie
preacher Of today weighs, counsels and
proceeds in tactful manner on his
great mission. Here are men who have
worked in ways that have succeeded
and they are abroad to counsel and to
help others, and, if need be, to be help.
ed.
They are not sentimentalists. :, They
have the enthusiasm of success and
they 60 with confidence. If they did
not they would better stay at home.
But they are not neurotics, nor mea
without virility. 1t is mans Job. and
every effort has been made TO choose
the best men.
The movement Is not, as some think.
Y. NJ. G. A. movement. Many as
sociation men are promoting IL, but
besides this the large brotherheods Of
several denominations are equally be-
hind the movement. Indeed, the move
ment did not originate in tho associa-
tion. In q conversation between lead.
ers Of several such organizations com.
mon conviction led to a common reso.
luton and ultimately to organization
and to action.
The movement is not a pet scheme
of any multi-millionaire nor a job put
up by the trusts to soothe the public
feeling and thereby allay agitation.
Rich and poor alike support and equally
are invited to do so.
Finally, it is not the song Of dying
cause. Liberal and conservative are in
it. The purpose sought is a renewing
of interest in religion-not theology.
It is probing into the working efac.
iency Of the church and an attempt
to discriminate and select out and build
up effective units into a larger and bet
ter force.

Your report Of the hearing states
that, or in effect gives the impression,
that the case was tried on its merits

on such testimony it was found that

the fact is that no testimony was in.

Nobody knows if the charge
landed, but anyhow, it didn't
draw blood-just lot of laughs.
Thomas H. Devine of Colorado,

mittee, followed Morris.
When Devine got on his feet
the real fun started. Roosevelt
men began booing, jeering, yell
ing an dhissing at.the top of their
voices.
Devine talked about the situa-
ton in Texas, coming a. few
more names for Cecil Lyon, the
national committeeman and
Roosevelt leader from that state.
Devine could hardly speak two
words without facing yells of
Liar! LiarK Liarp' from the
Roosevelt men.
And every yell from the Roose-
welt camp was answered by a
cheer from Taft men. 1t was pan
demonium.
Root blew down to the edge of
the platform and said he would
have order if he had to clear the
hall of every delegate.
H. M. Moore, of Texas, who
seemed to be. making most of the
noise, caught Roots attention.

AS the afternoon wore on, the
speeches dragged out. The dele
gates were tired. No one was
very interested, and everybody
thought it was much more fun to
yell, or jeer, or boo than to listen.
Congressman Watson, of In
diana, closed the near-debate for
the Taft people. Roosevelt men
greeted him as ''the man who
made Indiana Democratic"
The widest, ctaziest demon
stration of the day occurred when
Watson said that Hadley was
willing to have the contests go to
the credentials committee.
Delegates climbed on chairs
and yelled their heads off. New

and started a parade around the

Chauncey Depew to Vim. Berri,
