MINISTERS HIT BALLOT SLACkERS
Dr. Davis and Dr. Hill Rap
 "Stay-at-HOmeS"

Ballot slackers and parlor patriots came in for severe naying in two local pulpits yesterday. Before more than 300 men at Everyman's Bible Glass yesterday morning. Rev. John L. Davis told his hearers that the greatest curse Of the age today is religious and political inertia.
 In the course of an address on Columbus last evening, Rev. Dr. George W. c. Hill at the South Con- gregational church hurled into the teeth of those who stay at home on election day the def, "The citizen who will not take the trouble to vote makes 1t easy for the cheap politi- clan to run the government"
 In his address to Everyman's Bible Class, yesterday morning, Dr. Davis commented.
 T say to you today, my friends, that the curse of this age is not ma terialism, 1t is not that the poor boy does not get chance in America, he has an opportunity; the greatest curse of this age is inertia, lack of interest in those things outside of ourselves spiritual supineness in re- ligion and in politics.
 We are cursed with a curse. We want to take the lines of least re- sistanCe, We want to follow along the lines of our dominant desires. We do not seem able to put ourselves to difficult task and hold ourselves to it. We are so soft and emaciatcd. How easy it is to become a Chris tian today. We join the church and in joining the church we look around to see which one will best put us into society. The woman who has daughters is looking for the church I where she can best marry them; or the men where he can find the best 10 help him in business. It must 1 grieve the heart Of Ged. I tell you if We are gentlemen we ought to be i ashamed of them.-in looking for a | church, using Jesus Christ who wal cruciiied for us, for business pur. poses. God pity us and shame us in looking for a church that will put us into society. They wouldn't have thought of such thing in those
 early days. If we had to face death 10 become Christians, millions would turn away from Christ today"
