A CHRISTIAN BETTER
THAN A MILLIONAIRE
REV. kNICkERBoCkIR DEFINES
CllRISTIANITN-SOME VIEWS
on MOHtMMED.

After asking what is Christianity,
Rev, Percy kniokerbocker, at the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
Sunday evening, followed the query by
the following answers;
"Chrlstianity in the home means
kindness, in business, II means homes
ty; I'm society, courtesy In work, thor
oughness, In play, fairness; to the
fortunate 1t means congratulation and
not envy; 10 the unfortunate, pity; TO
the weak, help; to the wicked, re-
sstence; to the strong, trust; to the
penitent, forgiviness. and 10 God, rev
crence and love"
Rev. Knickerbocker portrayed
some of the striking differences be-
tween the Christian religion and tIe
religion of Mohammed. He character
lied the latter az a faith which had
as chief asset the proposition OF q
free pass to- heaven and no ques-
tions asked" Mohammed was an
epileptic, said the preacher who
married a rich woman. He was given
were the source OF his teachings which
his followers readily accepted, be-
cause the things which Mohammed
cleaned to reveal were the things
which his people desired to embrace.
Heaven was pictured as great harem
by Mohammed, in which place every
believer could have change OF wlie
,.1
ing one of the gorgeous peaches
which grew in profusion there. The
peach would be transformed into a
beautiful woman. Rev. Knicker-
booker had no doubt that the origin
of calling a woman a peach .orlgi-
mated with the Mohammedans and in
that manner.
Any Christian is better than "A mil
lionaire, he declared for all good
things belong to the Christian, and he
has good cause to be proud lie fa-
vored the activities of the church in
many lines and said that sick per-
sons should be taken care of in a hos
potal radiating with Christianity. In
stead Of going TO the theater for
amusements, Rev. Knickerbocker said
that the church should furnish amuse-
ment for the people, AS a worker
for the Saviour in the church, he de-
clared he was willing TO compare
wages with any other person.
That the environments surrounding
the youth Of Jesus Christ were Of the
most humble, and for proof Of his
statement, Rev. Knickerbocker recit-
ed that Palestine is still a thousand
years behind Arkansas. This state
ment was made in reviewing the sur
roundings under which the teachings
of Jesus and Mohammed were given
to the world.
The church rightfully should lead
in the dispensing of benevolence, said
he. and not leave this work to lodges
and societies. Such activity is pri-
marily the work of the church. Es-
pecially at this time, he said, should
this work be carried on, citing the
strngency which is felt on account Of
the low prce Of cotton and other
things which have to do with the
prosperity of the people.
He iollied his congregation with the
thought that he was thankful he had
never been the pastor of a ''stingy"
people, and following an earnest ap-
peal, a goodly collection resulted for
the immediate use of the church in
relieving want in Tulsa. A similar
collection was taken at the Sunday
morning service.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE current mum
Der of Harper's Weekly contains the

"We make the following reply to many
inquiries from readers Of Harper's Week
lyi
THE name of Woodrow Wilson as our
candidate for president was taken down
from the head of these columns in re-
sponse to statement made to US direct
" by Governor Wilson to the effect that
our support was affecting his candidacy
iniuriously.
"The only course left open to us, in
simple fairness to Mr.. Wilson no less
than in consideration of our own self
respect was to cease to advocate his
nomination.

reluctance and the deepest regret But
We cannot escape the conclusion that the

the treaty and after a careful study of
the obligations imposed it was conclud-
ed that the time had come to serve
warning that for the second "and per-
haps the last" time the United States
was prepared TO intervene in Cuba il
necessary.
The officials here entertained no doubt
whatever over the result of this note
of warning. President Gomez viii en-
force his decree against the participa-
tion of the military in politics and it
is expected there will be a decided
abatement of the raid of wouldbe Of
ficeholders upon the places now filled by
members of the conservative element. II
these results are not obtained, then it
may reasonably be expected that with
in short time the American flag again
will be hoisted over the government
house in Havana.
The general staff long has had plans
prepared for just such a manpuvre as
this. Major General Wood asked to be
excused from discussing them at this
stage, but it is known that within a
very few days after the word was Civ
en- several thousand troops would be
marching aboard army transports at
Newport News to sail for Havana.
Meanwhile practically the whole At
lantic fleet, which is now based at Guam
tanamo on the south side of the island,
would spread out and envelop Cuba so
that there could not be a
thought of successful armed resistance.
