DIR. ADLER'S DOCTRINE
OF HEREAFTER ASSAILED
DR.. Goodchild Says II Will Turn World
Into He'll

lHlo fitii
Or. Frank NJ. Coodchild, in the Gen.
trail Baptist Church, last night as
serted that Professor Felix Adler,
head Of the Ethical Culture Society,
vas preaching a fearsome doctrine
when he proclaimed that there was no
hell. doctrine that would turn the
world into hell in which even Ger
many's ruthless philosophy would seem
mild. He said that he would like to
know who Professor Adler was and
where he got his information.
"He has made an announcement"
remarked Dr. Goodchild, "that is well
come TO every thief, to every liar, to
every roue in New York. He has min
stered comfort to every foe of right
eousness. The murderer Of the UNI
fortunate girl in Philadelphia. still I'M
caught, has no doubt read the report
Of DR.. Adler's sermon and taken cour-
age.
at is foolish to arraign Harry Thaw
or anybody else for his misdecds, for
II God does not bother about punish
ing sin, why should man? The law OF
the jungle is the right one if that
teaching is true. and only the strong
est and the most cunning have any
right to survive. That is the lie by
which the devil led our first parents
into sin in the garden. That is the
lie by which he has lured men to per
dition through all the ages since the
primal sin.
"To be sure. Dr. Adler does not
recognize the authority Of Jesus Christ.
But the world does. The world does
not agree with DIR. Adler. And when
il comes to a choice Of authority be-
tween the guidance OF DR.. Adler and
Christ. we unhesitatingly choose Jesus
Christ"

identity of the high Official" but as
rumor and gossip have mentioned the
name of the representative of for
eign government with it, they will take
no chances Of involving him in a pub
lie hearing.
Representative Campbell, of Kansas,
who was appointed to draft a resolu-
ton touching on possible habeas
corpus phase OF the case, made study
of precedents to-day and prepared a
tentative resolution TO charge that Law
son, by his refusal TO answer, has OBJ
structed the business of the House and
therefore should be remanded to the
custody of the sergeant-at-arms until
he agrees 70 answer.
While Mr.. Campbell expects the com
mittee TO adopt his resolution, ne said
tonight that an adverse decision in the
contempt case of United States Attor-
ney Marshall, Of New York, which may
be decided by the Supreme Court to-
morrow, might change the situation. A
victory for the House in the Marshall
case, however, he declared, certainly
would be followed by adoption Of his
resolution as prepared.
Representative Campbell said that he
had found two cases which would war
rant the House in following such a
course as he planned. One was the Kill
bourne case, in which a man who de-
cined to testify in the Jay Cooke fail
ure was sent 10 jail. Eventually Kill
bourne sued and recovered damages
from the sergeant-at-srms but this, &C
cording to the records, was due TO
treatment he received in Jail and in no
way involved the right OF Congress to
imprison him.
The other precedent is found, Mr..
