accusation. VIII you kindly quote an

lie, where Catholics made religion a

advocacy of Q candidate who aspired
to political Dreferment9 And by the
May, who is making religion an issue
in politics anyhow Certainly not
Catholics.
No sir. Mr.. Connolly will he sup
ported by that percentage of Catholic
voters in the state, who agree with
him. not because he is a Catholic. but
because OF the political issues which
he represents. and Mr. Cummins Will
be supported by his share of Catholic
voters. and for the same reason.
Men who are bigotei and narrow
minded will he influenced by political
oharlatans. Honest upright American
citizens. who hold cur constitution sa-
cred, Viii vote whether Protestant or

Christianity and war.

1t is not strange that men should
point to this. perhaps the greatest war
Of history. as an evidence that Chris
tianity is failure. II Christianity
professed to be able by q miracle to
transform human nature at once,
such war would be fatal to its
claim. But no such claim can be made
for christianity. 1t is great human
movement, . phase OF the gradual
evolution Of man, governed by con-
science and reason. out of the brute,
governed by appetite and passion.
Man as he 10 seen in the world to-
day is an unfinished product. He is in
the making. The best that can be said
of a christian is that he Is further
along toward the goal Of humanity
than the barbarian. Theological doc
trines such as the Trinity the Atone
ment and the like are not essential
doctrines of christianity. The essen
tial doctrine Is that life Is a, struggle
for others as we'll as for self: that
in this struggle every one yves q duty

The Minister overwhelme ed.

There is bound to be inefficiency in
the conduct Of churches. especially the
larger ones. as long as minister has
to fulfill the threefold mission OF
preacher. pastor. and manager" says
Joseph Ernest McAfee in The Con-
tlnent( Presbyterian, Chfcago). and the
editor of this journal Endorses him as
an authority on the subject because or
his connection with the Home Board.
One who has never undertaken TO run
a city church with perhaps twenty TO
thirty different attached organizations.
Mr.. McAffee tells us, can not reaiize
how great burden it is. The minister,
to make his church successful. must
excel in each OF the three branches oil
his work. and while this is possible
achievement in the case OF churcn
OF moderate size and man of excep-
tional capacity. nevertheless, in an
increasing number of churches TINS
combined office is proving Tar TOO
heavy a load for one man 10 carry.
The more serious phase of the problem,
however. the writer points out, Is tnat
the duties are so varied that the
special talent and training demanded
for one OF the three hamper the same
individual in the others All this Is
no discovery to any thoughtful MIN
ister." adds the writer. who hopes that
in the future the churches viii more
and more specialize these three offices
and not seek the talents and training
for them in one and the same man..
