TRAINING
Hospital Idea Meets With
Much Favor
columbus Dispatch)


The excellent suggestion is made
that the State tuberculosis hospital at
Mt Vernon might be used, not only for
incipient cases of the disease, but also
for the training of those who work in
the various localities in the state for
its prevention and cure. One of the
great services contemplated for the in
stitution was that of education. II was
thought that every patient there treat
ed would return to his home thorough
ly instructed in the way to care for
himself and that he In turn would i'm
part the information to others No
doubt II has so worked out to some eX.
tent, but the number of patients has
been limited and progress has been
slow. Now there Is demand in many
new localities for trained prevention
workers, and there is reason in the
suggestion that the Mt, Vernon hos
pital Is the place to train them. A
trained worker in community will do
q great deal that would be utterly i'm
possible for a returned patient. In the
case of the latter the education of 9th
crs is simply possible; in case of the
former. II is assured With the one It
Is incidental with the other It is the
main business.

HAS EARNED DENOMINATION

s(Cleveland Plain Dealer June 29)
Gov. James M. Cox is entitled to re.
nomination at the hands of his party
in Ohio. The record of his two years
administration should be a sufficient
guarantee that he will receive the
honor.
A vast amount of misconception has
been afloat over the state regarding
the governor and what he has done.
!. But there is evidence that this misun-
(, derstanding is rapidly passing away;
{ the air is clearing for n better appre-
cistjpn OF the situation; for better
comprehension of the one issue which
should determine the result of the
Democratic primary.
Has Gov. Cox made good? That is
ne issue The governors supporters
, insist that he has made good. His op-
ponents must prove he has not, or con
; .cede his denomination.
The governor was elected two years
ago in a platform demanding the enact
ment of long list of progressive
measutes. The Endorsement he re-
aeiyed at the polls was an indorse-
ment of the platform-a command to
the governor and the legislature elect
ed with him to write into the statutes
an unusual number OF forwardI looking
measures for the betterment OF the
state.
dIIDn the Toledo platform Mr., Cox
was elected. Upon that platform he
hAS stood all the time and stands now
AIe will 20 before the Democrats Of the
state, asking denomination, upon that
platform.
II Mr.. Cox has done aught In way
Sof getting legislation OF which his par
yty does not approve. the fault goes
back two years and belongs not to hin
but 10 fhe Toledo platform and to the
NEARLY A40 1000 Ohio voters who indors

For the Democrats OF Ohio to DEM

Defeated In Two Games By c.
M. A. Team OF Newark
Locals Played Miserable Ball
Sunday Afternoon

Mt. Vernon fans sat through base
ball of every description during Satur-
day and Sunday. Three games were
played here. One was very high class,
another fairly good, but not nearly so
good as the first, while the third was
miserable. 1t came Sunday afternoon
and was one of the poorest base ball
exhibitions shown on local lot this
season.
The series was between Mt. Vernon
ard the G. M. A. team of Newark. The
visitors won Saturday morning, to 2.
This was the good game. Mt. Vernon
won in the afternoon by to 1 count.
This was a fairly good game. Mt.
Vernon lost Sunday afternoon to the
tune of 13 to z. The merits of that
contest will live unexploited.
Bond and Lipscomb did the pitching
for their respective teams Saturday
morning and both were in form. Lips
comb had the edge, but Bonds pitch
| ing was deserving.
McArtor was easy for Mt. Vernon
Saturday afternoon. He couldn't get
it over and when he did, the locals
murdered it. Householder pitched
for Mt. Vernon and worked at top
speed 1t should have been shut-out
but, as every home bug knows, Mt.
Vernon never shuts anybody out.
With the games tied and everybody
expecting hard fight for the leader
ship in the series, the Sunday after
noon game was started 1t wasn't a
hard fight. 1t was ridiculous. Mt.
Vernon secured lead of three runs in
the first three innings. Newark was
blanked until the fourth and then they
made eight runs on two clean singles.
The singles were not responsible for
the tallies however. Everything and
everybody was responsible. Three
local pitchers showed in this round
with little effect. Newark also used
three hurlers during the game.

So, it is perfectly clear that cell
bacy of the priesthood did not arise
out of the Old Testament, nor out Of
the teachings of Christ, nor out of
the teachings of the Apostles, nor out
of the examples of the Apostles.
Scripturally, it is permitted to any.
one who can live pure and best serve
God thereby, but it is enjoined on
none, and clearly taught that gener-
ally speaking it is wisest and best
even for ministers to marry. So, the
celibacy of the Roman Catholic
priesthood and nuns is not of Scrip
tural authority.
For centuries before Christ the
Romans did have Chief Pontiff
called the Pope.
Roman paganism did have '<Ves-
tial Virgins" dedicated to perpetual
Virginity.
Rome, and other pagan religions,
did have celibate priesthood
These things are not found in the
Old Testament, nor in the New Tesla
ment. It is cellar, therefore, that
these institutions of Romanism are
rooted in paganism.
Is the Celibacy Wise?
The whole world outside of Ro-
manism thinks this system of cell
bacy for priests and nuns in the Ro-
man church unwise? The Greek
Catholic church differs from the Ro-
man Catholic on this, and all of
Professionalism differs, and millions
who are not members of any church
differ.
1t is generally believed that if God
had thought that human love and

pointed ministers in His New Tesla
ment churches to preach the gospel
Of the Grace of God to all people.
Well, then, grant that the Roman
Catholic priesthood is unscriptural
in toto, still did it get it's celibacy
from the ministry of the New Testa-
ment?
Christ never lent himself to the
idea of celibacy except in His own
personal example. He did not mar
ry, likely because being the Son of
God and sinless, there was not sim
less woman in the whole world
whom He could have married Then,
too, He did not come to procreate
sinless race, but to redeem a sinless
race by His sacrifice. So, in Him,
on this question, priests have no ex-
ample unless they blasphemously
claim to be themselves sinless Gods.
What about the Apostles and min
listers of the New Testament? Some
Of them were married. Certainly
Peter was married, for Christ healed
Peters mother-in-law of fever.
And Roman Catholicism claims Pc
ter as the first Pope, though he was
not a Pope. There was not Pope
in the world in the Christian sys-
tenn for over three hundred years
after Christ. History does not even
show that Peter was ever Pastor
in Rome, much less a Pope.
After Christ's birth Of Mary by
the Holy Spirit, Mary, His mother
did become the mother of sons and
daughters by her husband Joseph.
And Christ nowhere condemned this,
for it was legal, sacred, and right.
He chose Apostles, some of whom
were married. Christ said of mar
rage: What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put
asunder." Yet in the history of the
rise of celibacy Catholicism sepa-
rated many consecrated ministers
from their wives, and declared their
children illegitimate. Christ did
teach that there might be one here
and there who cared nothing for the
marriage state, who by remaining
single could devote more time to the
work Of the kingdom, but He did
not hint at such a course as an order
of the ministry, or of priesthood.
Paul distinctly said that he himself
had the right TO marry. Paul said:
art thou bound to wife? Seek
not to be loosed. Art thou loosed
from wife? Seek not wife. But
if thou take wife, thou hast not
sinned; and if a Virgin marry, she
hath not sinned." Paul was plead
ing with the Corinthians for great

the mighty system sends them, anC
to do what their respective superiOrs
command them---no matter where
no matter what. From Rome to Cal
cutta, from New York to San Fran
cisco, and from the Twelfth century
until the Twentieth it is the same
absolute servility to the system
whose claim is "Infalhbility, anC
whose boast is "Semper al
ways the same.
Where Did They Get These Systems
Does Rome get it's celibacy from
the word of God? They-the au-
thOrities of Rome, SO claim.
Let us see if it is scriptural.
The Jewish priests of the Old Tes-
lament Theocracy were generally
married men. The high priests. and
the lower orders Of the priests of the
Old Testament were married. Al
the time that the Angel of the Lord
announced the coming of John the
Baptist to the house of Zaeharias
and Elizabeth, Zacharias was a priest
Of the course of Allah and was min
istering at the altar in the Temple
of Jeru&alem. Celibacy, then, was
not a law of the Old Testament
priesthood.
Christ, the Messiah, to whom the
sacrifices Of the Old Testament
pointed, was born, lived, taught, died
and rose from the dead, according to
the teachings Of the scripture.
The scriptures clearly teach that
in the death and resurrection OF
Christ the Old Testament priesthood
was forever fulfilled and gathered Up
in Christ as the one high priest who
ever lives to intercede for us. Listen
to the record
''And they truly were many priests
the Old Testament priests-be-
cause they were not suffered to con-
tinue by reason Of death.
"But this Man because he con-
tinueth ever, hath an unchangea bic
priesthood.
Wherefore he is able to save
them to the uttermost that come I'M
to God by him, seeing that he ever
1iveth to make intercession for them.
For such an high priest became
us, who is holy, harmless, indebted,
separate from sinners, and made
higher than the heavens.
''Who needeth not daily, as those
high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for
the people's for this He did once
when He offered up himself.
For the law, the Old Testament
law-maketh men high priests which
have in4irmity; but the word OF the
oath, which was since the law,
maketh the Son who is consecrated
for evermore." Heb. 7:22-28.
Now, what does this mean? 1t
means that Christ absolutely fulfilled
the Old Testament priesthood in
himself, and that He arose from the
dead and became the only priest of
Christianity for evermore. There
fore, according to the scriptures,
Christ never intended that the sys-
tenn of Christianity should have a
priest in it except Christ, the per-
feet, sinless high priest, who ever
liveth to intercide for all who will
come to God through Him. The Ro-
man Catholic priesthood is absolute
ly unscriptural, and wholly subser-
vive Of, and contrary to, the priest
hood of Christ.
But Christ did establish New
Testament churches, and appointed
that over these should be placed, by
the vote of each church, bishops
elders, presbyters, or pastors, all OF
these words being used to designate
one and the same officer of the
church. In the New Testament
churches nearly three hundred years

SOME DELEGATES DECLINE
PROGRESSIVE PARTY HONOR
REV. J. A. TEN BROCK STATES
THIS lNTENTIoN-oTAERS
TO FOLL LOW.

Among the list Of delegates named
TO represent Calumet at the county
convention Of the Progressive party,
appears the name Of Rev. J. A. Ten
Broeck Of Laurium. Rev. Ten Broeck
announced today that he would decline
TO act i'm this capacity, stating that his
nomination for this honor at the hands
ot Calumet Progressiyes had been
made without his knowledge or con-
sent and that he does not care To
serve as a delegate at this convention.
The announcement by Rev. Ten
Broeck, il is said voices the sentiment
OF a number Of other delegates named
by the Calumet Progressives to the
Progressive convention II is doubtful
II more than half OF the delegates
named by the Progressives in the
Calumet district Will accept the honor
conferred on them. While many OF
those named as delegates 10 the Pro-
gresSive convention were active in the
councils Of that party two years ago,
there has been complete change Of
sentiment since that time in many in
stances, and among the men named as
Progressive delegates are several who
are now ardent Republican workers.
Indicating the extremes TO which
party leaders were forced in nominat-
ing the delegates, il might be cited that
in some Instances the same delegates
were chosen TO represent precincts in
the Progressive convention as were
chosen from the same precincts as
delegates to the Republican conven-
ton
