The Servers.


Rev. Frank Crane inThe Cosmo-
politan;
The cry of the Old Gospel was,
"save!" That of the New Gospel. is,
Serve"
Yet we have not changed, only
grown. The new comes out of the
old. We have learned that to serve
is to save.
The moral force of yesterday
sought to save men from a hell here
after; the ethical enthusiasm of to-
day is directed toward saving men
from helhshness here.
Christendom is shaken with a new
conscience a with an earthquake.
We are in the midst of economic up
heavels more radical than the French
Revolution.
The Servers are striking more
deeply than the Savers ever struck.
The Servers say labor shall no
more be exploited, trodden, tortur-
ed for the benefit of the endowed.
They are carving the hereditary
parks of private lords into gardens
for the people.
They are taking the children out
of mines and factories and putting
them into schools.
They are wrestling public utilities
from the wealth-barons and giving
them into the hands of the people.
They are making of every woman
a citizen.
They are determined to give every
baby square deal,
They are bringing back beauty to
money-mad cities.
They have sentenced to death the
two chief enemies of the race, War
and Alcohol.
We are more profoundly religious
now than were the men of any pre-
vious era But we are not saving
brands from the burning; we ar,
putting out the fire,
The Savers gave us the world al
lost. and attempted to rescue a few
The Servers have the bold purpose o
transforming the world.

sionaries. The call of the Servers /

all belong to the same church. Re-
ligious dogmas have given way to
common sense and reason. Old
statements of faith have not and will
not solve the problems of life. For
getting the things which are behind
should be our motto. We are follow
ing the light of truth, why should we
| falter? Darkness and doubt may
come at times, but thru these we are
led to better things. am sure our
feet are in the right; we have not
yet obtained, but we are pushing for
ward. Sometimes we stop to weep
as we go, but we shall come again
bringing in the sheaves. We have
felt the thrill of new life. Man is on
ly strong when he dares to stand
alone"
Mr.. Reavis' talk made a profound
impression.
Mr.. Clark delivered one of the
cleverest speeches we ever heard him
make. Harry Turner of Montgomery
City, who was present, refers to the
address as follows:
Speaker Clark said.he accepted the
invitation to deliver an address for
two reasons; because he made his
first speech when he ran for Con-
gress the first time at Rush Hill and
because ever since he had been inter
ested in the Bible and a believer in
its teachings he had advocated such
a church as this, and he firmly be-
lieved it was the beginning of the
end of so many weak and unsupport-
ed churches in small towns over the
country.
Mr.. Clark said he is a Christian
but he wants to see the Baptists and
Christians unite, also the different
branches of Methodism and Presby'
terians.
The Speaker said the Bible is the
greatest book in the literary as vel
as the spiritual world, and added the
greatest compliment ever paid him
was by the Washington correspond
ent who stated that the Speaker quo
ted the Bible more frequently ant
. correctly than any member of Con
gress in the last so years.
| "While I do not measure up to it
standard" said the Speaker, 81 be
lieve in it theoretically, and believ'
that religion is as necessary 70 tn

man body"
