JOHN D. R., AROUsES
 BAPTlSTs' RESENTMENT
Assertion That Baptism by Immersion Not Necessary Calls Forth Re-
 buge From Evangelist.

New York, Dec. 23.-The assertion of John D. Rockefeller, IT,, that bap- tism by immersion is not necessary qualification for membership in the Baptist church does not meet with unanimous favor among members of Rockefeller's church. The Rev. c. w. McPherson, evangelist, whose work is known here and in the south, charged that Rockefeller wants to establish a religious trust.
 McPherson also said that it was just such apostacy to all religion as that brought out by Rockefeller that caused the Germans to regard the truth lightly and brought on the war. He painted picture of Rockefeller loom- ing large in the Billy Sunday cam paign and paying the bills, but at the same time saying that he did not be- lieve Sundays theology, but liked the ethical results of his work.
 Calls Him Apostate. "Never mind for the moment Baptist belief concerning the forms of baptism. The question is whether we are to tol- crate John D. Rockefeller, Jr., even with his wealth, and allow him to stay in Baptist church in good standing, when he denies the fundamental doc trines of the Christian faith-an in spired and infallible Bible, the substi- tutionary atonement- of Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the second com ing of Christ in bodily form.
 "John D., Jr., was poisoned in his re- ligious belief by pastors of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in this city. Among the pastors were the Rev. Dr. J. H. Johnston, an evolutionist, and the Rev. Dr. c. F. Aked, a new theol- ogy apostate. Both of these men have dropped out of the Christian ministry, or practically so. Churches don't want them. Johnston tried politics on Washington Heights and failed by be- ing beaten, and Aked is busted to such an. extent that churches are not seek. ing him as pastor. The fruits of the poison of false theology of these men are seen in the utterances of the younger Rockefeller.
 Question of Faith.
 "I repeat that wish to say nothing un- Christian of any man, certainly not of the Rockefellers, for whose bene- factions and labors for enlisted men entertain sincere admiration. But the matter is not giving of money. It is not ethics alone. It is sound faith and American patriotism. Besides, we must beware of young men with hob bies. MT. Rockefeller's hobby is the trust.
 "It is the thing in religion he wants that made his father rich in oil. It is argued there should be a, trust in Protestant Christianity, at the ex- pense, if need be, of the destruction of some of the most cherished and vital doctrines of the Christian faith. My advice to MT. Rockefeller is, instead of trying to break down the Baptist denomination, to get out of it and go to the liberal church, wherc he be- longs."

Charleston. s. G., Dec, 23.-There is a certain ship in Charleston harbor- and it will be here several days. It is on its way somewhere with a cargo of rum. The kind of real rum people used to make in the "good old days gone by." To be exact, there are 917 barrels in the boat, but the crew on board has had no chance at it whatever.
 This vessel is on it's way to some where in Europe from somewhere in the West Indies. The cargo is worth thousands of dollars, and the ship is under a captain from Maine.
 Sixty gallons to the barrel, 917 bar rels, 55,O2O gallons, in all, and if it is figured further, there are 22O,OSO quarts of the medicine" and if it were sold in pints, there would be unloaded here.
 A firm in Charleston is the local rep resentative of the company that is handling the rum. One of the mem- bers of the firm stated that there was rum on board. "And," he said, "there may be Jamaica ginger, too."
 "Nine hundred and seventeen bar rels," he continued, Constitute the cargo of rum. There are about 60 gal Ions in each barrel. The rum was loaded at -, and is going to -, the name of the boat is -. The cap- tain is from Maine."
 If the rum were sold legally it would bring at least $1 a pint. This is about twice the price of what the unlawful spirits brought when it was on the market here. But, according to the way whisky is selling now, the rum should be worth a great deal more than $1 pint. Rum was higher than whisky, and the "wet goods" of the kind that have been captured lately are selling at $S and $1O quart. Or this basis, rum should be worth real money.
 There are two kinds of the sugar made beverage, namely, white Jamaics rum and red Santa Croix. The latter is known for "Tom and Jerry" and the former is noted for "white lions."
 There is no doubt at all that there is

Hot Water Drinking.
A stomach cleansing trea

A stomach cleansing treatment is often just as important as q rest for the organ, says Wm. Eastman in Phy- sical Culture. The best ordinary meth cd of stomach cleansing is the drink ing of a considerable amount of hot water. Not too hot. Just hot enough so that you can drink it with fair ra- pidity and take q considerable amount into the stomach in q short time. If you will drink q cup of hot water ev- cry five minutes until two quarts or more have been consumed, the result will be unfailing.
