5,000,000 DEATHS
LAID TO THE CHURCH
Dr. Swallow Scores Rum-Soaked
Members of Fold; Raps Metho
dist Monarchial System
In an address before a large au
dience at Ocean Grove Dr. Silas C.
Swallow of Camp Hill speaking on
"Religious Denominations, Sane and
Insane," decried a feeling of caste
which he said existed in the Methodtst
Church, and declared the ciiurch as a
whole has been responsible for 6,-
000,000 deaths.
"There has unfortunately grown lip
In and around Methodism a spirit of
caste, a feeling that in subordinate
positions we have a privilege
class, an autocracy, an aristocracy,"
said Dr. Swallow. "That ours is a
monarchial form of government, while
the trend in other churches as In the
State is in the direction of a more in
tense, a more liberal democracy.
Most of our local churches have felt
it in the drift from us of many of
our most stable members, to churches
where every member has a voice In
the settling of their pastors. The su
periority of our polity may of course
be legitimately argued from the fact
that though a feeder of all the
churches Methodism still has more
left than are found in any other one
church, and more than the aggregate
of several of them counted together.
Church Responsible for 5,000,000
Deaths
"Some of these churches spread the
table of the Lord before members
who are brewers, distillers, bar ten
ders, saloon keepers and booze guz
zlers, and nearly all of them have
been through these 50 years of gov
ernment profit-sharing partnership in
the liquor business, so well content
with the existing order of things as to
leave it to their children to set them
the example of saying as the Christian
Endeavor society recently said in na
tional convention these words: 'Trust
ing in the Lord Jesus Christ for
strength no political candidate or par
ty not declaring for the destruction of
the liquor traffic can have my support
or vote.' And permit me to add that
if the churches of this country had
said that 50 years ago, and stuck to it,
the traffic would long since nave been
sent back to hell, whence it came. Let
it not be forgotten that at the door of
the American church lies the respon
sibility for sending in these 50 years
5,000.000 of rum bloated bodies to
drunkards' graves, and an equal num
ber of souls to the drunkards' hell.
Oh, there is some missionary work to
do at home as well as in heathen
lands, and the instrument is a bit of
papeT called the ballot."

PICTURES OF CHRIST'S LIFE
The social center at Cathedral Hall,
North street near Second, will Inaugu
rate its autumniseason with a delight
ful entertainment on Monday evening.
The feature will be a motion picture
representation of the entire life of
Christ. The pictures, unlike other
representations of the kind, dealing
only with certain events of the life,
will present, in nine reels, every detail
from the birth to the death.
Your Soul Seeks
Man's soul seeks. It has been ever true. Man's soul always seeks that
which is higher than the power of man. It has been ever the fact. Back
through the ages, when men were savages this innate craving for that
"something" higher found its expression in the mythological, supersti
tious worship of the elements of Nature over which man could exert no
control.
In this enlightened age, man no longer superstitiously worships the ele
ments. All such thought was supplanted when God, through His love for
the world gave His Son that man might find the true religious expres
sion.
To-day man worships one God, a God of love and mercy. God's laws
are Nature's laws; the breaking of the one is the breaking of the other.
God's command is that we worship Him, and His Son. It is a command
that finds its expression in the attendance of the services which are held
in worship of Him in His church.
If you are inclined to doubt the truth of this thought it is because you
have never allowed your spiritual nature to fully develop. Let your spir
itual nature rise above those things which are purely material, give it a
chance to find the expression of that which it constantly seeks.

FLAYS ROYAL FOR
j PLAYING SELFISH GAME
[Continued From First Page.]
office-seeker who has figured in all the
parties more or less in a hopeless ef
fort to maintain something like party
integrity. These Democrats are roast
ing the machine leaders to a turn and
while they have no use for Meals or
any of the other aspirants for the
mayoralty their wrath is visited up
on Royal for his selfish interference
with the selection of a real Demo
cratic candidate for the chief magis
tracy of the city.
Mayor Only a Figure Head
All over Harrisburg there is dis
satisfaction by reason of conditions
which confront the people ns a result
of the uniform primary and the con
sequent free-for-all. Their only com
fort is the thought that the Clark act
has deprived the Mayor of the cities
of the third class of practically all
his power and made him simply one
of five commissioners with unimport
ant duties. Mayor Royal is accused
by Democrats of hanging on to the
situation until it was too late to se
lect a candidate who might have at
tracted the independent strength of
the city. While pretending to wait
a court decision as to the right of
present mayors to stand for re-elec
tion, Royal was more concerned about
his own job than in the welfare of
the community. Hundreds of Demo
crats, even faithful followers of the
local machine and their party, will
harpoon Royal as a candidate for
commissioner as a rebuke to his po
litical selfishness and everlasting trim
ming.
"The trouble with Royal is that he
is always careful to promote Royal
and nobody else," said a prominent
member of his own party to-day.
"All through his political career he
has managed to trim his sails for all
political winds. It has not been for
gotten that at the Denver national
convention of his party he straddled
the Bryan issue and he has been
straddling every other question right
along. Whatever happens to the rest
of the candidates for city commis
sioner, it is a safe bet that Royal will
not figure as a member of that body
next year."
Trying to Defeat Taylor
There is a well-conceived plan
among certain Democrats and their
allies to defeat City CommissionerTay
lor and thus make an opening for one
of his Democratic machine favorites.
It is an open secret that the Demo
cratic machine will throw its support
so far as possible to Sheesley and
Gross, who are said to be on the Dem
ocratic slate, which also includes O.
M. Copelin, W. L. Gorgas and John
K. Royal.
Accusing Republicans of slate mak
ing and factionalism, this same Dem
ocratic machine is said to be doing
its level best to pull through at the
primaries and later at the general
election its own particular favorites.
Republican organization leaders and
workers are giving no heed to the
effort of the local Democratic machine
to create dissension among them.
They know quite well that the ma
chine has enough troubles of its own
and all the fairy stories about what
this Republican group and that will
do to each other are exciting more
amusement than anything else. In
any primary fight there is bound to
be more or less mix-up, but Republi
cans generally know pretty well what
they are about and the effort to
strengthen the Democratic machine
by appeals to "stand by the Presi
dent" and all that sort of drool is
without avail.

be consistent with the other River
Front arrangement and will be com
pleted in gala array with blooming
plants, shrubs, etc., for celebration
week. This work is now going on
under the direction of the Berryhill
Nursery Company, and the Park De
partment. Some of the old, unused
drives and walks are being eliminated
and better ones provided, making more
practical the handling of coal and
ashes to and from the pumping sta
tion and far more accessible to the
public.
A large area of green lawn forma
the center of the Plaza bounded along
the river by a beautiful
taining wall, later to be covered -fit It
vines and along the pumping house
by a border of hardy shrubbery, blot
ting out by this screen the ash heap
and road to the rear entrance. In
cluded in the decorative scheme is an
appropriate drinking fountain which,
will be a much appreciated feature of
the River Walk.
The River Plaza, like the city en
trance at Market street, is distinctive
and unique ana one of the places to
be remembered and talked about by ail
visitors to Harrisburg. Every good
citizen should see the Plaza when it is
formally opened to the public use dur
ing celebration week.
Among the trees to be planted dur
ing the coming week, when the grass
will be sown and the work finished,
are fine specimens of the European
linden, sugar maple, red oak, tulip,
mountain ash and American elm. Tlia
shrubbery will include the golden bell,
snowberry, lilac, bridal wreath, Jap
enese roses, rose of Sharon, honey
suckle, Regel's privet, welgelia, red
twigged dogwood, coral berry, whit*
kerria, mock orange, Japanese bar
berry, white dogwood and redbud.
