PREACHERS AND RELIGIOUS SPATS
James Marlin Says Church De
nominations Should Learn
to be l ess Dogmatic
To The Newark Journal:
It is well that you have deter
mined to have an end of “religious
spats” in your columns, but you
need not therefore have an end of
religion. Your best citizens are
those who recognize and admit
their responsibility to (iod. It
has been said that “Christian is
the highest type of man.” This
is true, but even the highest type
of man is not always at his best.
Christians are not at their best
when they are quarreling with
each other.
What all the denominations need
to learn is to be less dogmatic.
They need to admit their own fal
libility. Baptist, Methodist, Pres
byterian and Campbellite need j
to learn that truth is not confined
to any one ot them, i he man
who does not understand the Bible
as 1 do may be as good a Chris
tian as 1 am. A man may be just
as honest and just as intelligent as j
J am and still may not agree with I
me about all questions. When-!
ever the church people come to
recognize this principle they will
quit “spatting.”
Nor, need a man necessarily
“belong” to any denomination in
order to be a Christian. In every
nation, in every church and out
side of all churches, the man that
“fears God and works righteous
ness is accepted in His sight.”
Whoever recognizes and admits
his responsibility to (rod and goes
straight forward doing right be
cause it is right is ipso facto a
Christian. He is Christ’s man,
because he is doing Christ’s will,
whether he belongs to this denomi
nation or to that, or if he does not
belong to any.
The Presbyterian believes, and
honestly and intelligently believes,
that sprinkling is the proper mode
and the children of believers the
proper subjects of baptism. The
Baptist believes honestly and in
shop
Do not
buy oki-fashioned, odd-look
ing shoes, even if they are
strong and durable ; nor con
spicuous, loudly stylish shoes,
because they are worn by the
manv.
The “good.” sign in
shoes is
This mark guarantees correct
taste and style.
True style is that at
tractive difference
which distinguishes
Manss "Urfit’* Shoes
from all other shoes,
along: with comfort, durability and
the patent “ I rtit,” which supports
the ankle, holds up the sides, pre
vents heel slipping and shoe twist
ing.

telligently that immersion is the
proper mode and believers the
proper subjects. It is the right,
nay, it is the duty, of each to be
governed by his own conscience.
Hut the man who asks liberty to
follow his own conscience ought to
respect his neighbor’s conscience.
Christianity has never yet done
its perfect work. Haul and Peter
had a “spat,” even though they
were apostles of the Lord. We
need not, therefore, be surprised
to find Methodist and Baptist
preachers having “spats.” They
are no better than Paid and Peter.
No man or his “paid" need change
their mind about confessing Christ
just because a couple of preachers
have a “spat.” Christianity is a
whole lot bigger thing than any
preaccher or any church. It is
bigger than all preachers and all
churches. It is the power of God
unto salvation. When it has done
its perfect work, man, not just
some men, but man, the race, will
have been saved from selfishness
and bigotry and intolerance.
When that day comes there will
be no more “spats.”

CAMEOS DIFFICULT TO CUT
Agates from Which They Are Carved
Are Exceedingly
Hard.
Cameos are cut from the
stones onyx and sardonyx, which
are said to be so plentiful on the
Uruguay river in Brazil that
ships often carry them away as
ballast. Nevertheless, perfect
pieces of large size are costly. A
piece suitable for a large portal
costs about !|f75. This stone is
preferred for cameos because of
its hardness and durability and
is suitable for such work owing
to the fact that it comes in lay
ers of contrasting colors as
black and white, black and
cream, or red and white/ When
the cut figure is sunk into the
stone instead of being raised the
cutting is called an intaglio.
The cost of these gems is due
to the time and skill required
in the work. Formerly a small
gem might occupy an artist for
a year or more, but with modern
appliances the work can be done
more rapidly. Still the ancient
work bears the palm for artistic
excellence. The cutting is now
done by holding the stone
against a revolving drill, whose
soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust. No steel is hard
enough to cut the stone. The ut
most patience and caution and
delicate handling are required,
as the slightest slip may spoil
the work.
ESCHEW POLITICS
The Farmers Union should leave
politics alone. We as free Ameri
can citizens and not as union men
should leave damnable politicians
alone. Stop electing men to office
who are office seekers. If you
know John Smith is not seeking
office, and you have good reason
to believe he is honest, elect him.
We do not need men who are
seeking office but we need men
who will serve us if we take them
j up and make them do so. As a
| rule a man who is seeking office
I is seeking an opportunity to feather
his nest and he generally feathers
it well. Let the Farmers Union
leave this political business en
tirely alone. Co-operator.
MORMON PREACHER EGGED.
A couple of mormons who have
been preaching in the streets at
Rogers had their meeting rudely
I interrupted by a crowd of boys.
The youthful assailants threw wa
ter upon the Mormons and bespat
tered them with eggs, both fresh
and ancient.
Men who pose in the limelight
should l>e careful of what they do
in the twilight.
