GELATINOUSNESS
FOR GOODNESS?
Jellyfish Negativeness Most
Dangerous Substitute For
Christianity
By William T. EIIU
Gelatinousness Is the commoneit and
most dangerous substitute for Chris
tianity currant to-day. A Jellyfish nega
tiveness, which Is as timid as a musk
rat, passes current as goodness. In
some minds piousness and splnelessness
are, synonyms. A common Idea of
goodness Is not to disagree with any
body, even with the devil himself. Our
grandfathers wer called Dissenters, but
tttelr grandchildren are of the creed
called Assenters. We agree with every
body and everything, from the proposi
tion that God and man were both ori
ginally "in the yolk of an addled egg."
to the familiar doctrine that "what
ever Is, is right," and that to be popu
lar Is the chief end of man and wo
man.
Although It may be sheer bosh, the
newest Ism and spasm may get a re
spectful and sympathetic hearing from
Christian people. "After all," says the
'current notion, "It does not matter what
i you believe, so long as you try to be
.wind." Therefore, the latest colored
fakir from Bombay, If he be at all
clever can get a large following, a fat
living, and much sweet adulation from
\ Eoston women who have "outgrown"
| the illiberal creed of their Puritan for
| bears. No cult is too silly to find a
vogue, be It the religion of walking
naked through the grass in the sun
light. or of breathing by a certain rote.
| or of entering into the silence of a su
! preme Egoism, or the burning of in
cense to the sun. or the worship of
neuulous Mind, or the Hinduism of
I transmigration, or—but what is the
' use of trying to catalog all cur fol
| lies?
1 Any earnest chronicler of the times
j must confess that, as a whole, our so
i elety Is Intellectually enervated. M'e
] are not sura what we believe. Boston
| and New York axe almost as ready to
; hear a Hindu Yogi as a "Billy Sunday.
Old religions, new religions, compara
tive religion, no religion—all are pretty
much alike to your modern man or wo
< man. This is true to a degree that
would alarm the average minister. If
jhe knew it, of many persons within
i the churches, as well as of the great
| mass outside. Present-day Christians.
; owing perhaps to a lack of leadership,
i are willing to let many precious in
j heritances go by default. They sur
i render the Christian Sabbath almost
j without a protest. So also they let the
Bible go from the public schools. The
proposition that this is a Christian na
tion, is likewise permitted to go by
default. The integrity and inspiration
of the Bible is yielded quite as easily,
s Once let anybody—be he a soapbox
orator, or a tledging college professor-V
j say that "the consensus of modern
I scholarship affirms"—and shoo! the
'Christians run like chickens before a
; hawk, without waiting to see whether
I the bird that affrights them may not
■ be only a crow.
I When to Stand I'p nnd Fight
| Opportunely, the Sunday schools of
; the are this week called Into
the school of study of old Paul of Tar
sus. to learn to stand up and contend
for the truth. As this lesson and many
other New Testament passages make
clear, controversy may be a Christian
, duty. The early church fathers were
irreat controversalists. Truth v-as so
precious In their eyes that they would
be alienated from friends and homes,
and even from life itself, for its sake.
There is something majestic about the
spectacle of those great intellects
battling over doctrinal and ecclesias
tical points. We have entered into the
J 1- ' eritance they left, but we have for
gotten their militancy. I wonder If
the reader of these lines can, on the
instant, name a single great Christian
: eontroversalist In North America to
day. a champion of the truth as it is In
Christ Jesus? In the past there have
been the men who have made Christen
dom their debtors.
Controversy on a high plane, which
will not dodge or mistake any facts,
nor impugn the motives of a brother,
is one of the essential methods of
, Christian Progress. There is a sense
in which every Christian leader and
teacher should, like Paul, be a eontro
versalist.
I hasten to add that Christian con
troversy is as different from church
squabbles and denominational bicker
ings and petty quarrels as an eagle is
from a mosquito. There is no war
rant in Scripture for the miserable lit
tle bickerings which sometimes stultify
the life of a congregation.
The first qualification of a eontro
versalist—as Paul makes clear in his
second letter to the Corinthian con- j
verts —is an unimpeachable personal
record. He must go into court with
clean hands. The self-seeker and the
money-lover cannot contend success
fully for the faith of Christ. That is '
why Paul pointed to his own record in
Corinth and elsewhere. He tore aside
the mantle of personal reserve, and j
showed that he bore In his body the |
marks of the Lord Jesus. Pauline con- j
duct squared with Pauline doctrine AH
during those arduous tent-making days,
and through perilous persecutions anri
personal sufferings, he had been un- j
consciously preparing his credentials i
for the great debate. Thus does the
everyday duty, well done, prepare us
for life's great crises.
The Cause of Controversy
Like every other pioneer, Paul knew !
the bitterness of seeing others follow
i along the .path he had blazed in order
'to wrest nts leadership from him. In
addition to gathering the fruit of his
labors, they tried to discredit him. Af
ter he had established a Christian
: church at Corinth, these falsa shep
herds came to mislead his flock, for
their own advantage. It seems as if
always during the church's periods of
activity there have been these pretend
ers and usurpers, with their special
isras and cults, and their criticisms of
the church. It is no new plague from
which th« church suffers to-day. Claim
ing high titles and especial gifts for
i themselves, these false apostles had
attempted, apparently, to wean the
i Corinthian Christians away from Paul,
j and to cast aspersions upon his au
thority. his ability, and his financial
integrity, in the matter of the col
lection for the Jerusalem poor. Evi
dently. also, these usurpers had con
doned unchristian practices on the
part of church members, so that they
were departing from the strict line of
] morality laid down by Paul. Klp
| ling's fable of the moth that corrupt
ed a hive of young bees is quite appli
cable.
Some saints would have gone on
whimpering to sympathetic friends, if
| 111-treated as Paul was by the Church
at Corinth. They would have had a
grievance for the rest of their days.
Not so Puul. He was of sterner stufT.
He knew the place of the grace of
resignation, and also the place of mili
tant indignation. He could be a suffer
ing saint, but he could also be a smil
ing soldier with a sword of controversy.
Tor he was a first-class fighting man.
It seemed to him the more Christian
way to give those intertopers at Athens
a chance to practice tile virtues of ros- ;
Ugnation and humiliation, It Is better 1

to wipe out a plague than to flee from
i It. Paul was not the sort of citizen
who would flee to a pleasant suburb
and let the city go to the devil. In
stead, he would stay and help clean
the city. In this spirit he undertook
to enlighten the misled Corinthian
Christians, and to contend with their
usurping leaders.
One Hero's Record
I While he offers It with diffidence
and opologies, having all of a strong
man s dislike for boasting. Paul never
theless submits his wn character and
achievements as "Exhibit A" In the
great controversy. Really the whole
case rested on the character of the
apostle.
i That is why it is such an awesome
, thing to be a preacher or a Christian
: leader. What if Dwight L Moody had
been a grafter and the world had found
;it out. What if Robert E. Speer should
! be dicovered to be an idle, self-seeking
lover of money and notoriety? Imagine
John R. Mott putting his own comfort
and reputation and bank account above
i the Christianization of the world! The
consequences would be calculations for
all Christendom.
Whoever dares to accept a place of
leadership in Christian servica thereby
assuaies a responsibility of living up
to the ideals of Jesus that is nothing
less than tremendous. A noble Atlanta
layman said to me not long since, in
discussing the retirement of two lay
men from places of Christian leader
ship into private employ. I tell you
| this sort of thing is having a terrible
■effect upon our laymen. We have
followed these men for years, and now
they seem to nullify everything they
; have ever taught by turning aside from
the big work and looking out for them
i selves. As in crusading days, the
knight who takes the cross on his arm
must surrender private aims and quests.
For the Christian is himself a vindica
tion of his message and ministry.
In this great Corinthian controversy,
Paul could submit his life as evidence.
Hi s case, freely paraphrased, to show
His case, freely paraphrased, to show
;and activities, was like this:
"I have been as bold as the best,
"1 am anybody's equal as a He
brew and Israelite.
| "I have been myself a minister of
i Christ,
| By labors more abundant,
1 By stripe without number,
By frequent Imprlsinment,
By danger of death many times,
"To particularize, here is a part of
my record:
Five times the Jews beat me with
thirty-nine stripes;
Three times I have been beaten with
Roman rods:
Once I was stoned;.
Thrice I was shipwrecked, being afloat
twenty-four hours in the open sea.
I "In my travels I have undergone:
" Perils of waters.
Perils of robbers.
Perils from my countrymen,
Perils from the heathen.
Perils in the city.
Perils in the desert.
Perils in the sea.
Perils among false brethren.
In weariness often.
In travail often.
In watchlngs often.
In hunger often.
In fastings often.
In cold often,
In poor clothing often.
Besides all the foregoing adversi
ties, there is that which cometh upon
me dally, anxiety for all the church." i
Really, that closed-the case. A mere'
recital of the incontrovertible facts
showed that Paul was everything tor
Christ and the brethren, and nothing
for himself. He had traveled the tllnty
road to Cavalry. He had been crucified
with Christ. The brand-marks of the 1
Liord Jesus were on his feet, which
nad traveled for him; on his hands,
which had ministered for him: on his
brow, which had thought for him, and
on his heart, which had been broken
over the needs of the world. The man
was fall proof of the message. The
tlnal argument for Christianity in e\co
case is the Christ-like Christian.

ATTACKS WILSON
Has Failed to Protect American
Rights He Declares in
Maine Speech
Lewiston. Me., Sept. 1. —Theodore
Roosevelt, speaking here yesterday,
opened hi» Maine campaign in the
interests of Charles E. Hughes, the Re
publican nominee for the presidency.
He attacked the Wilson administra
tion in vigorous language, defined
Americanism, denounced politico-ra
cial organizations, spoke for universal
compulsory military training and pre
paredness and reviewed the Mexican
situation at length. He said in part:
I come here to Maine to advocate

resentatives to support him, and to
give some of the reasons why in my
judgment it would be a grave misfor
tune for the people of the United
States to re-elect Mr. Wilson.
Americanism a Matter of the Spirit
Continuing he said:
"Americanism is a matter of the
spirit, of the soul, of the mind; not of
birthplace or creed. We care nothing

to the land from which his forefathers
came, so long as he is whole-hearted

creased to a quarter of a million men,
with a short-service term of enlist
ment; this would give us a mobile
army of 125,000 men, enough to patrol
the Mexican border without help from
the National Guard, when Mr. Wilson
halts between feeble peace and feeble
war. But this is not enough. The
events of the last two years have
shown that no people can permanently
preserve its freedom unless that peo
ple is trained to arms. Above all,
this is true of a democracy. The en
joyment. of right must be hand in
hand with the performance of duty,
universal suffrage cannot be justified
unless it connotes the performance by
every voter of full duty to the State
both in peace and in war. The man
who refuses to fit himself to tight in
righteous war for his country is not
fit to vote in that country.
He bitterly denounced Wilson's so
called neutrality:
"Such neutrality has been compared
to the neutrality of Pontius Pilate.
This is unjust to Pontius Pilate, who
at least gently urged moderation on
the wrongdoers. The President's fine
words were used merely to cloak ig
noble action and ignoble inaction. All
American proud of their country
should keenly resent the wrong he
thereby did their country. As an
American with exceptional interna
tional knowledge. • • * A single
official expression by the government
of the United States, a single sentence
denying assent and recording disap
proval of what Germany did in Bel
gium, would have given to the people
of America that leadership to which
they were entitled in their earnest
groping for the light. It would have
ranged behind American leadership
the conscience and morality of the
neutral world."
i On Mexico, Col. Roosevelt said:
"President Wilson did not merely
kiss the hand that slapped him in the
face. He kissed that hand when it
was red wtih the blood of American
men, women and children, who had
been murdered and mutilated with,
as President Wilson, through his Sec
retary of State, says, "ruthless bru
tality."
In all this shameful history of Mr.
Wilson's dealings with Mexico during
the last three years nothing has been
more shameful than his conduct at
Tampico.
Since 1912' we have had four years
of a policy which has been an opiate
to the spirit of idealism. It has meant
the relaxation of our moral fiber. Hor
ror of war, combined with a sordid
appeal to self-interest and to fear, has
paralyzed the national conscience. We
have been told that Americans, if
they do not wish to be killed, should
leave Mexico and should keep off the
ocean; that to save a few American
lives it is not worth while to hazard
the lives of American soldiers; that
Mexicans should be allowed to spill
blood to their hearts' content; that the
European war is no concern of our;
that even as between Belgium and
Germany we should be neutral not
only in act but in sympathy.
"The next four years may well be
years of tremendous national strain.
Which of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the helm
during these four years, the man who
has been actually tried and tound
wanting or the" man whose whole ca
reer in public office is a guarantee of
his power and good faith? But ono
answer is possible, and it may be
given by the American people through
the election of Charles Evans Hughes
as President of the United States.
