Church Ought To Die
If 1t Won't Progress
Leading Baptist Minister JOIts Chica-
go by Blow at Religious
''Stand- PatterS."

| CHICAGO, Feb. LEADERS of Chi
cago's religious life were stirred to-
/ day by the publication of an article
under the heading of "A Council or
an Inquest-Which ?" by the Rev.
Johnston Myers, one of the best
known Baptist prea achers in Illinois
and pastor emeritus of Emmanuel
church.
''If the church cannot meet the
needs of the world at the present
time. then the church must die and
ought to die is the theme of the
article.
The article appears in the Standard
a Baptist weekly. DR.. Myers declares
the church is losing ground every
/ day; thousands of churches have u
name to live, but are dead" the fra
ternities, the Y. NJ. C. A and other
modern institutions are taking the
place of the church; it must be alb
solutely reconstructed and reorgan
/ ized to meet the new world conditi-
ons."
/ DR.. Myers, whose name has long
been identified with evangelical ortho-
doxy and whose work in Chicago has
been noted for its devotion to the
spiritual and physical welfare of the
masses, calls for a church council to
consider the critical situation in or
ganized religious life and TO propose
doctrinaI and functional readJust-
ments that will bring the church
abreast of the times.
Many of these so-called doctrines
which our fathers taught and believed
are not important in this age" he
declares. We need not deny the old
truth, but we need new truth for the
new era"
This attack on the traditional creeds
is accompanied by indignant protests
against the stand-pattgrs' who op-
pose change and cry "heresy' when
ever II is suggested.

THE MURDERERS FAILED

~ HE case of the Tuscania is
VI a triumph not a disaster.
With over 2100 men
aboard all had been saved but
l45 according to reports this
morning. That is marvellous
showing. When a great ship
like that is sunk at night at sea
with less than a 10 per cent
loss it is time to compliment
the conveys on their work of
rescue.
Needless to say, however, it
was no fault of black hearted
German imperialism that our
boys were not all sent to a
watery grave. The German
policy is to attack wherever
possible defenseless men, on
ships, in hospitals, and to bonn
bard towns killing women and
children and non combatants.
The German sea fighters are
loath to go against the cold
steel in the form of allied war
ships. Their boasted high
seas fleet is extremely careful
to keep off the high seas and
their submarines seldom show
their noses except to attack a
merchantmen, a hospital ship
or transport.
The attack on the Tuscania,
though it failed of its full muir
derous intent, should awaken
our people to greater energy
and to more united action in
waging a war for the destruc-
ton of Prussian rule.

Compared With Civil War Cost.
/ a comparison with the cost of rais'
| ing the army for the civil war also is
striltngly favorable. Prior to the
/ enactment of the draft law OF 1864
/ the cost of recruiting was $34.0l II
man. Subsequent to the passage of
/ the act the cost was 80 "a a man. But
only a small proportion of the men
produced after the enactment of the
| law were drafted.
/ The remarkably good showing un-
der the present law, say the Washing
ton officials. is due in large measure
to the patriotic and self-sacrificing at
/ titude of members of the local draft
1 boards. Thousands of these men, re-
gardless of personal and business in
( terests, worked day after day,
/ throughout the hot months of the
summer without any remuneration
whatever. This was a part of their
I contribution to the war.
/ Reports received from draft boards
and compiled in the office of the pro-
vost marshal general show that with
the exception of few widely scatter
ed and practically negligible commu-
mites. the public has cordially and

and to pave the way for a re-
publican president in 1920.
From a political point of view
this may be tolerable from
a patriotic aspect, in a nation
al crisis like this, it is odious
and detestable.
The business of the nation
today is to win the war; and
the political leaders, who for
party gain or personal aim lay
the slightest obstacle in the
way of the happy consumma-
ton of this business, clothe
themselves i'll a diabolical
livery and surround their poll
teal Vaccinations with a brim-
stone scent, a sulphurous odor
offensive to people who revere
patriotism in politics but alb
hor politics in patriotism.
For months Col. Roosevelt
has been injecting politics into
the war through his articles in
the Kansas City Star and Met
ropolitan Magazine. With
craft and caution he has
planted bomb intended to
blow President Wilson out of
political existence, and in this
"Guy Fawkes" plot he has
had the unctious assistance of
Senator Lodge of Mass, and
the crafty support of Senator
Wadsworth of New York. But
cunning and unctiousness can
not win contest like this. The
mountain of truth is too big to
be discolored by such daubing
brushes; the facts too potent
to be minimized by impish dis
stimulation or distorted by cum
ming castigation.
The Bible says, he who
draws the sword, shall perish
by the sword. Well, Roosevelt
and his followers first drew
the political sword in this dis
pute, and with their assump-
tive valor they should not cry
for quarter before the blade
of their own rapier.

WASP MAKES USE OF T00L<
Insect of the Sphex Family That lamps
Its Nest Shut With a Stone
Hammer.

So far as known, only one small in
sect-a wasp Of the Sphex family
among the millions of creatures be-
longing to lower order than man, has
ever employed the aid of a tool to &C.
eomplish a desired result. The moth
er wasp of this family digs a tunnel
in the ground, deposits her egg in it
and provides a caterpillar stung to
death or to a condition Of paralysis for
her baby to feed ON when Matched. The
grub subsists upon this caterpillar un.
til it passes through the pupa stage
into the perfect-winged insect. Then it
digs it's way out Of the tunnel and
begins its life above ground as wasp.
But after the mother wasp has made
it's tunnel and deposited the egg, it
finishes its task by ramming down pei
let's Of earth, little stones, ETC., into
the mouth of the tunnel. This is the
race habit of these wasps. It is re-
corded on undouhted authority, that
one inventive mother, when the mouth
of the tunnel was covered to q level
with the rest Of the ground about it,
brought quantity of fine grains Of
dirt to the spot, and picked up small
pebble in her mandibles, used it as
hammer in pounding them down with
rapid strokes, thus making the spet as
firm and as hard as the surrounding
surface. Then she departed, brought
more dirt, picked up the pebble again
and used 1t as a hammer, as before.
The English thrush brings its snails
to a certain convenient stone on which
1t will crack their shells by beating
them upon it. Some sea-birds carry
shell-fsh to a height and drop them
on the rock to break their shells; but
this brings eply the anvil into use, not
the hammer. The case Of the wasp is
the only one which records the SEEM
ingly intelligent use of tool to ae-
complish a given purpase.-People's
