To The Stakdari:
In yonr weekly i-ne rf July
I find ,t he call of Dick More?, the
GUp.-l Wagon Driver, and, I
have reaa( with interest, your edi-
comment tnereon. In that
al yon wrote a paragraph that
ir startling to me, and I do nob be
lieve you intended to make a state
the paragraph referred to :
"We most heartily approve all in
telheent efforts emina'inc f mm ta
sponsible church organizitionp, but
ho uaw lueiine iaere, to 8t4y the
tendencies that become a stumbling
o.ock to me cause that extremists
vaml suppose they are helping."
Now, I do not wish to endorse
Dick Morse, nor make a defense of
eyangens's &z any kind. I am not
sure just what yon meant, but feel
sura vqu did not mean what jou
wrote ; therefore I find it quite im
F038iple, to begin aa argument, at
least nn'il you have expressed your
self iurther. What would you re
gard jas an '-intelligent effort ?" and
whatj a "responsible church organU
zation ?" Will your "drawing the
line there" stop "the tendencies" you
refer to ? and will the "stopping"
not be a terrible "stumbliDg block ?"
Where are we to get our authority
for leaving this work entirely with
"responsible church organizations ?':
and tow do we know extremists
"vainly suppose they are helping,,
the cause c f Ohristi?T3ity ?
In the very nature or things, this
question is one of tremendous im
port, and leaving it entirely with
lethargic churches -andnarrowi jeal
oas preachers ia like trying a man
for his life by a jury of drunken
men. besides, eveiy religious up
heaval which the world no v recog
nizes as a righteous n form was
manred by a "crank ;" and the re
form w s executed not with' the help
but in spite of the "respons'ib'.e
church organizlions." Judged
from the modern eccleeiastica stands
point, Jeeus Christ was the greatest
crank the wcrld ever siw ; and every
true follower of Him hps had to be
sceffed at andbuffer ail the indigrjtiea
to which He Himself was" subjected
by all tbe"respon8ib!e church orani
zitions" then in existence. It is a
curious faot that the chuich has al
ways betn its own greatest stumbling
block, and history teaches that in
jevery critical stage of the church's
career the "cranks" were those
through whom Christ saved it from
utter destruction.

Flow?, M. C., July 19th. -
We had not thought of having to
take up thi6 matter again. We
wrote the editorial after fruitlets y
expostulating with the man that we
bee vainly suppoies he is help

ra with more z?al than discretion.
He wishing to use us as a means
to place himself before the public as
one to whom the world owed inst
ance, he produced about the tame
argntneots that Mr. Newell does ;
that the church is too lethargic at.d
that Christ was regarded asnot en
dorsed by the Jewieh church.
We inserted hid call to gratify a
