Doctrines Of OLD
Church DEFENDED
Bishop Nicely Condemns
Agitators Who Would
Tear Up "By Roots"
is OPPOSED TO
RACE BISHOPS

Destructive ,agitators who insist
that there is nothing settled in our
church. are tearing up everything by
the roots" said Bishop T. b. Neely,
of Philadelphia. today in an address
delivered before the Methodist Epis-
copal Preachers Association at their
meeting in Grace Chapel. They
we're adventurers and experimental
lists" the bishop said. The subject
of his address was Some Important
Dictrinal Questions" The Dlshop
said that the external organization OF
Methodism remains the same but the
internal organization was so changed
that if il continues much longer
there will he nothing left. The loss
of the class meeting and the loss OF
the supervision of leadership he as
serted means an annual loss OF loV'-
900 members.
He stated that the loss of the super
vision of leadership meant an en-
croachment on the powers OF the pas
tor. who in this way was relieved OF
his cabinet. One of the appalling
things. the bishop said, was the Iacl
that some of the men who had TAKEN
the covenant to preach the doctrines
of Methodism preach what they please
ard sneer and laugh about II. he
stated that according to the sunday
School Journal for January a propo-
sition is on foot to change the FORM
OF baptism in the church, which, he
said. he would strongly oppose. lie
stated that he did not favor the con-
gregational form of itineracy.
A c1cat danger in the church, ,n'
bishop said. was that TOO many peopl'
looked ON everything new as sign OF
promess. lie said that there WAS in.
mensc peril in fundamental questions
being acted ON in General tontcieno'
without debate.

THEY REFUSE TO EAT

AT periods IN most childTenS' lives
neyfail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am
bition, and growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worry.
To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import
ant is a spoonful of SCOTS Emulsion
three times a day to feed the tissues
and furnish food-energy to improve
their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen
their appetites.
The highly concentrated medicinal
food in Scott's Emulsion supplies the
very elements children need to build up
their strength. They relish Scotts-it is
free from alcohol.
