JuSiu On week Gays, Wneu II might
hurt business.
Years ago 1 was sitting in a club
window one Sunday morning, watch
ing prominent citizens coming down
the street to the two big downtown
churches. The fathers, mothers and
children. were all well dressed. 1 knew
many of them. Some Of the men,
when they got to the club, dropped
in, and their wives and children went
on to church. Some of the fathers
came into the club parlor and joined
me at the window. Finally said to
them, knowing that their Christianity
was only clothes-deep-
81 see now why you fellows keep
up your churches. You don't go to
them yourselves, but you contribute
literally. You are merely paying the
preacher to entertain your families"
l knew those men had no legiti-
mate business in church of God so
long as they made their money the
way they did; and l couldn't have
felt religious in a church maintained
with their money. Hence l couldn't
blame wordngmen for not wanting
to go there. 1t wasn't any place for
them. They would have been preach
ed at by kept preacher. FL
People can't enjoy going to any
church unless they feel at home
there. I don't belong to any church,
yet I believe am religious. do read
the Bible, and especially the New
Testament l believe in Christianity,
but 1 don't want to go to church.
So, in my opinion, it can't be that
there is anything wrong with Chris
tianity. 1t must be with me or with
the church. 1 think it is with the
church. And / think that's the way
many others feel about it. 1 can't
get the Christian inspiration there
that 1 can get in the New Testament.
The Golden Rule may be there, but
l can't sense it.

Great Time For Maccnbecs.

The Maccabees of Hartford had a

enjoyableness of the occasion. A
splendid open program was carried
out at the court house. which en-
braced addresses by Supreme Com

Commander NJ. +. Elkin, also local
orators. The musical features were
excellent, rendered by the Hartford
ORCHESTRA. Maccabee Quartette. and
a solo by Miss Ruth Riley, when she
was recalled. After the exercises
at the court house the lodge ad-
journed in body to their lodge
room, where 22 candidates were in
itiated. This organization now has
perhaps the largest membership of
any lodge in the communications

denied widespread and persistent re-

Cabinet. When informed of pub

clared against Mexico, Mr. Bryan
said:
The subject of my resignation

White House officials pointed TO
the general denial issued few days

They said they did not regard il
as necessary to repeat the denial
