THE eJEFFERGONIAN

greet our eyes every Sunday and Monday
morning, just as the marvellous sermons of
Talmadge used to do.
The following advertisement appears on
the front page Of the Baltimore Sun;
The Sunday Sun has arranged for the publica-
ton of five Chautauqua lectures by Secretary Of
State William Jennings Bryan, beginning next
Sunday. The first subject will be:
THE PRICE OF A SOUL
The succeeding lectures will be-
THE PRINCE OF PEACE"
VALUE OF AN IDEAL"
IMAM
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES"
President Wilson must be extremely proud
Of his thrifty Secretary of State.
Before the Inauguration, Professor Will
son said that it was "a great comfort" to him
to know that Bryan qOas to be in the Cabinet.
Let us hope that Bryan is great comfort
to Wilson, now that he is in the Cabinet.
Meanwhile this reflection occurs to the
average mind;
G Bryan's lectures were never marketable in
the newspapers until he became Secretary of
State.
On the contrary Pastor Russell's sermons
had wide market on their merits, Just as
Talmadge's sermons used to have. We trust
that Pastor Russell will not allow Bryan to
discourage him. Let him persevere. Let him
advance. Let him go forward. Let him pro-
coed. Let him life up his horns, like those of
a billy goat. Let Pastor Russell lay on, and
spare not: we are with him.

Baptist Preachers! Are You
Doing Your Duty?
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. J

WITHOUT DEFENDERS, at the very time
a0her Rome IS posaad'lng at the gates!
Our American churches are largely to
blame for the fearful Roadway that the Pope
has already made in this country.
Let thinkers arouse themselves, and assert
themselves!
Let them put these questions to our present
system Of foreign missions: ~
Who authorized you to spend mission col
lectlons IN employing editors, and publishing
literature?
What right have you to use mission col
lectlons IN buying supplies, provisions, medi-
cines, &C. for the Chinese?
What right have you to compel the
churches of America to support hospitals,
colleges, orphanages. asylums. &C., through
out heathendom?
What sort of Christianity is it that turns
its back on the millions of unconverted,
uneducated, poverty stricken men, women
and children in our own country?
What sort of charity is it that leaves the
Lazarus at our own gate to beg in vain for
the help that would save his life and his soul
All men of God! You who have the pull
pits and the denominational papers! You
may rail at "Tom Watson" and try to take
attention away from yourselves and your
unreasonable methods, but you will not
arrays succeed.
Some day you won't have any hated "Tom
Watson" to rail at; but his questions will still
be here, you will have to meet them.
Some day you will have to face the tre-
mendous consequences Of your awful mis-
takes!
Woe unto you, that you have got china on,
the, brain, while Rome is issuing her orders
and marshaling her cohorts to

sdentacdt conduct covered by the endorse
naeqat
Seldom has any Secretary Of State been
under the painful necessity Of throwing such
a complete somersault as that
Then, consider the Caminetti -Dggs case,
where two married men 90 in pursuit of two
school girls, compromise them with artful
attentions, ant0n5cdte them qCGth q0n1e ruin
Mema AND RUN orr WITH THEM
INTO ANOTHER STATE. What was the
purpose of those designing married men?
You can hardly doubt that they meant
to use the girls until tired of them and then
leave them to do the best they could in
life of immortality, or to sell them outright
to the first white-slave dealer that came
along.
In the name of public decency, of morality
of Law and Order-in the name Of all true
and good men and women, the churches and
the homes, these educated and qce0lthy MR.
ried men acho had deliberately and mast
aoicltedly married. out for pursuit and
destruction, ta00 schoolgirls, deserved TO be
punished.
Who is it in President Wilson's 'reform"
administration that hobs up serenely as the
shield, and protector of these married
seducers?
Why, it is Bryan!
It is Bryan, the man who rebukes, by his
example, his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Christ miraculously made wine for wedding
guests to drink, sat down with publcans
and sinners to drink wine, and was found
drinking it, at the last supper: but this Mr..
Bryan is too utterly righteous to allow wine
on his table-yet he thrust himself and his
influence between outraged Justice and ta0o
rich criminals qcho he'd used a0ine to deb0Se

of their parents!
At least that is what the utterly righteous
Bryan tried to do, in using his political inAu-
ence to have the cases carried over until Fall,
we'll knowing what tremendous advantage
this would give to the criminals.
Again, President Wilson rescued the
Administration from shame, by overrulng
Bryan. The cases were ordered to trial; but
not before the criminals had been very mate
rally benefited by the delay which Bryan's
influence had secured for them. They had
boosted that they would escape punishment,
By using political Influence!
Apparently, their hopes were well founded.
1t yet remains to be seen whether Bryam'S
interference aoith the due course Of the Ian
did not defeat justice.
Again, there were the Bryan lectures, the
Bryan vacation which had no fixed place on
the calendar, and the Bryan three-palace
scale of expenses which made it impossible
for so great and so simple Democrat to
live on his salary Of $4,000 year.
The President has seemingly turned off the
tide of the Bryan eoquence and made
some progress toward getting the Bryan
vacation located on the almanac. The Presi-
dent seemingly thinks that Bryan ought to
choose between Government work, and
Ivceum work. No man can serve two mas
ters and draT two salaries, and live in three

Reverend D. S. Phelan,
care Western Waterman,
ST. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sir:
YOU have recently been quoted as uphold
ing the Massacre of ST. Bartholomew,
upon the ground that the Roman Catholic
church has the right to use physical force
when she chooses, and that in/the case above
mentioned. she was justified In the methods
there employed for the extirpation Of heresy.
You have been represented in various
periodicals as not only defending that mas
sacre and the general principle that the
church has the right to use physical force,
but as exulting in the methods adopted by
Charles TX in France, and Phillip IL in
Spain, to-wit: the violent destruction of
Protestants by the sword, by the rack and in
the flames:
I am preparing for my Magazine an arti-
Gle upon this subject and [ wish to do you
no injustice in referring to your position as
typical of that Of your church-therefore [
seek from you, yourself, fair and full state
ment of your position, and beg you will give
a positive, unequivocal answer to the follow
ing questions:
l. Do you approve of the conduct of the
St. Bartholomew and in the massacre of
Vassy?
If so, upon what grounds?
2. Do you approve of the conduct of the
Duke of Alva in the Netherlands. in the put
ting to death of SO many thousands of Pro
testants?
If so, upon what grounds?
3. Do you say and maintain that the pope
has the right to use physical force?
If so, In what cases, to what extent, and
upon what grounds?
4. Do you approve the persecution of
Protestants in Peru and other States con-
trolled by your church?
If so, upon what grounds?
5. Do you approve religious liberation in
this country?
If so, upon what grounds?
6. Where cardinals and bishops in your
church are sworn to extirpate heresy, what is
the meaning of the word "extirpate," as you
understand it, and as you would have non
Catholics understand it?
In sermon recently preached by you and
published in your own paper, you say, in
substance, that in case of a conflict between
our Government and your church, it would
be the duty Of all good Roman Catholics to
obey the church. "To hell with the Govern
ment," was the language printed in your
paper.
What do you mean?
What is your mental reservation?
If you owe an allegiance to a foreign
prince, the pope, which, upon the happening
of such contingency as you imagine, COM
pels you to obey the pope rather than the
Government, how can you claim to be true
American citizen, entitled to the rights of a
citizen under our Constitution and our laws?
These questions are Of universal public
Importance, and it is perfectly legitimate
and proper for me, as an American citizen,

the vital importance Of keeping the
kidneys active
