CLEMENS'S LAY SERMON Historical Society Site House VOLUME IV. Why Have the Churches Done so Little? Because TheyHaven't Touched the Every Day Life of the People. Prohibition Agitates Them More Than all Other Questions. The noisiest pulpit in Topeka having gone into the business of reading "pulpit editorials" instead of preaching sermons, and the most famous pulpit in Topeka having engaged in reading pulpit novels as a substitute for discourses concerning the Kingdom of Heaven, the law of compensation demands that some one shall take up the neglected gospel and preach a series of newspaper sermons. I have had "a call" to do that work, and I begin at once the task too long delayed. SERMON I. Text: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard: Behold these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down. Why cumbereth it the ground?" Luke VIII, 6, 7. The modern church is the ancient synagogue, and our text was uttered with reference to the synagogues of Christ's time. They accomplished nothing for the good of mankind—were barren fig trees. Does the church of today, in this very city, merit a milder rebuke? Let us see. "By their fruits ye shall know them; and if they produce no fruit, we can judge them by that. Let us judge them first by their effect upon the community as a whole, and second, as to their effect upon individuals, and if we find the fruitaage lacking, let us inquire the cause. Today, some seventy churches point heavenward their spires. For ten years there have been sixty-five churches. In 1872, a generation ago, there were seventeen. The number of churches, however, does not give an adequate idea of the church's influence. Every church has its "young people's society" and there are the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association. There are the Sunday Schools. And for more than a generation the churches have absolutely controlled the public schools and Bethany and Washburn colleges. They have also controlled the daily press. Surely, with all this power, the churches should be able to show some results if they be not barren trees! Suppose each church of the seventeen, during the past thirty years had made one convert per month—twelve per year—amoug the young men of the city. Today, we would have over six-thousand church voters; a majority so great, when added to the women voters, that a campaign against anything desired by the churches would be so hopeless as never to be undertaken. Is this the case? If so, why such intemperate speeches from the pulpit? Conscience power is never intemperate. For ten years we have had over sixty churches. Had each made twelve converts a year, we would today have had over seven thousand men ready to do the churches' bidding and a campaign against it would be insanity. The Ministerial Union would rule absolutely, and no campaign by it would necessary to enable the churches to win. Is this the case? Even Dr. Sheldon has been obliged to confess in a recent address that the preachers have lost their hold upon the adults of their congregations and thus their only hope is in their control of the youth they can reach. Nor is this all. Although for years the churches have had the pulpits of numerous churches, the young people's societies, the Young Men's Christain Association, the Young Women's Christain Association, Bethany and Wasburn colleges and the public schools under their control to use as their allies against wickedness, they confess and proclaim that the young man and women of Topeka are such moral weaklings that it is unsafe to trust them in the presence of temptation. The Ministerial Union has openly said this in a recent address to the voters of Shawnee county. If this be true, what have the churches been doing? Why have not young men been taught enough self control to enable them to walk the streets of a city? Why have not young women been taught sufficient morals to enable them to preserve their chastity or to at least avoid entering a saloon? Surely, if sixty-five churches with all their auxiliaries, have done so little, we have a right to consider them barren trees. Why have the churches done so little? Because they have not touched the every day life of the people. They have not taught Christian morality, but have taught only theology when not teaching politics. One public question alone has engaged their attention. Every where the people are discussing the South-African war. The pulpit could see nothing but Prohibition. Our duty to Cuba was a burning question. The pulpit could see nothing but Prohibition. Last week, the coalminers' strike was in everybody's mind. But the pulpit could see nothing but Prohibition. Is it strange that men have ceased to look to the pulpit for guidance? Prohibition has usurped the Gospel's place, and Christianity in Topeka has dwindled to Prohibition. Let us look at the effect of this upon people who, because of their load of sorrow, yearn to hear something of the consolations religion has to give. A poor old man, bending under the weight of three score and ten has lost his wife who had walked by his side for half a century. When he was young, the Methodists had camp meetings and revivals, mourners' benches and conversions; King James' Bible was understood to have been written by the very hand of God, and the higher criticism and Darwinism were not known; but the spirit of the times has shaken the old man's faith despite his efforts to prevent the calamity, and he worries now over the question—"Shall we meet again?" He wonders whether he is to walk alone for a few brief years and then in weariness lay down and die—and be no more. Is there a death's tomorrow? Shall he meet again the partner of his youth, or has she forever ceased to be? These question are uppermost all the time in the old man's mind. The grave had closed a day or two when Sunday night he entered the First Methodist Church hoping to hear there some answer to the questions over which he agonized. He is seated. The opening music soothes him. The preacher, the Rev J. T. McFarland, rises in the pulpit. The old man is all attention, though the remembrance of clods rumbling over a coffin will obtrude, do what he will. He yearns for some word of blessed hope. The preacher be gins, with unchristion bravado, to read some pulpit editorial. As balm for the poor old man's bleeding heart, the Rev. J. T. McFarland gives him this: "The people are beginning to see that it is no piece of petty politics with which they have to deal, but it is an issue with the combined forces of those in the city and county and in Kansas City who are determined at all costs to drag the honor of Topeka at the tail of the brewers' wagons. It is a question whether we shall have official who protect the public or combine with criminals. It is a question whether the government of the city shall be turned over to club stewards and livery stable bosses and wholesale whiskey agents and proprietors or partners in joint drug stores, or whether it shall be administered by honest officials, who will make no compromise with law breakers and criminals." A young mother last week laid her little darling in its casket and followed it to its grave. But for stern decorum she would have torn it from its coffin at the last moment for one more look at the baby face. The cruel earth hid it from her for- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 17, 1902. ever. Forever? Shall she see it never again? In some other world, in some other life, shall she not press to her bosom her little darling again and once more feel the touch of baby fingers on her cheek? Oh, for some word of comfort! With bruised and bleeding heart she enters the Central Congregation church She has heard so much of Dr. Sheldon. Surely here will she find consolation in the sermon—some hopeful answer to the agonizing question—Is death the end? Do we meet our loved ones again? Are they about us every day, though invisible to our mortal eyes? The famous preacher is in the pulpit. She leans forward to catch the first word of hope. Alas! The preacher is not thinking of bereaved mothers, of death, of the hereafter. These trifles are for the moment forgotten, though Christ never forgot them. Stahl and Stebbins must be elected, and aching hearts must wait. The prescher utters no work of Christain hope. The heartbroken mother has read to her the first chapter of a novel which relates that a student having gone to sleep during an address to a graduating class, the college president decided the young man was created for the express purpose of running a weekly newspaper, and acting on this purely scientific theory raised the means for the purchase of a paper at Colby. The young man had written his first editorial, threatening to do up the saloons, when the mayor called read it, and straightway offered to give the young a raise of three-hundred dollars if he would sell his paper. The dangerous, somnolent youth refuse. The chapter ended. A prayer followed with no word in even that for a stricken soul, and the young mother returned to her desolate home to weep, and at last to dream that her babe nestled in her arms, and then to wake in agony to find it but a dream. These are but illustrations of what goes on every Sunday in perhaps all the churches but a few. One meets funeral processions every day, and every funeral procession means lacerated hearts crying for consolation which the pulpit should give. Alas! The pulpit has not time to give consolation. It is busing "blistering" Parker and urging the election of Stahl and Stebbins? The Catholic church never fails to touch the every day life of its communicants. In all its years in Topeka it has never indulged in politics nor read pulpit editorials or novel. It addresses the hearts of its listeners. Unity church stays out of politics and its pastor preaches of immortality and the true gospel of Christ. A few other churches do what they were set to do. The rest scarce touch once in a twelvemonth on the great questions which an open grave never fails to agitate—the churches ignore the Gospel. Is it strange they have so little influence? They are barren fig trees. Would not Christ say of the Topeka church—"Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?" SENSELESS NEGRO GATHERING. W. Calvin Chase of The Washington Bee, don't hide the "Senseless Negro Gatherings" ane takes a fall out of this evil of which most Negro editorials seem afraid to speak. He says: "The Alabama horror ought to serve as a warning against these senseless gathering of Negroes every summer and autumn. We are running the thing into the ground. Within as many months we have had four immense gatherings from all sections of the country, under one or another pretense of doing something for the race. Women who imagine that they can create a sensation, can find time and money, to leave their idly kept homes, and neglect children, to go about the country from convention to another. They can't find money to properly educate their children but can spend hundreds of dollars on railroads and ocean liners, of their own and other peoples money, going about telling "the race" how to rear their children. To tell the exact truth these affairs are no more nor less than pleasure excursions, and the Negro, just at the beginning of what promises to be a severe winter, with no coal in his bunkers and none in sight, can least afford to spend his money by thousands of dollars riding up and down the country in "Jim Crow" cars. The Alabama horror ought to be a warning to let go. The spectacle of two thousand Negroes stamping the lives out of 110 of their race, shows how few cool heads there are among in an hour of danger, women, too were the principal victims. The resolutions adopted at these gatherings are never carried out. They are simply high sounding, empty phrases. Many of the speakers are animated mainly by strong drink The Negroes who do anything; like the True Reformers, are not holding windy conventions, but are getting down to practical work, and results are being exhibited on all sides We have had too many great (? Negro gatherings of late, great owl in numbers, and wind." --- The Mayor of Atlanta, Ga. Speaks at the Funeral of a Negro-Was His Friend for Many Years--Shewed His Inconsistency. Bolow we reproduce the eulogy of Mayor Livingston Minns of Atlanta, Ga. over the remains of his colored friend with whom he had walked and talked for years. Yet he never recognized him as a man nor his family as free American citizens. This same man would stand to see this friend's children put in a Jim Crow car with drunken passengers and those who are returning from their work poorly clad. He would suffer them to be put in a dingy, disty waiting room, while his own family would be in the finest waiting room with all the best services to be had. Still they both pay the same fare. Read this eulogy: "The funeral of Richard J. Henry, colored, for so long a time the porter and private servant of his honor, Mayor Livingston Minms, embodied in its program an episode that is too notable and too altogether pleasing to be omitted from a special comment. His fidelity, his courtesy, his intelligence and his affective service had endeared him not only to his master and employers, but to all the numerous company of white men of all degrees who came in contact with him. Large sums of money were intrusted daily to his care for transmission to the bank and it is estimated that in the position he had carried upon his person million of dollars. At his funeral the respect and regard of the white friends of this admirable Negro were everywhere in evidence. They made a large representation in the large audience. The funeral conducted by high officials of Henry's own church and race was most impressive and full of high tributes to the character and record of the deceased. The mayor of the city and his accomplished wife occupied front seats in the church during the services, and when the ministerial offices had progressed in a certain point the mayor of the city, who was also the employer of the deceased was called upon to speak. Without any special time for preparation, and mainly upon the impulse and suggestion of the moment, Mayor Minms, who has long been held one of the most accomplished and aristocratic gentlemen of the south, a cavalier and a bourbon of the most pronounced type, arose and said: "Your call on me to speak on this occasion was certainly unexpected—and yet while so heartily commending all that has been so feelingly and eloquently said in reference to my dear friend—my friend of more than a third of a century—I cannot refrain from expressing the genuine grief and sorrow that his death has occasioned me. Indeed, a sorrow that my entire family shares; and I know, too, it will be felt by the large number of his friends and mine who knew him so well in the connection he had with the business in which I have been engaged for so many years, and I might add his many white friends in this city who respected and admired him for the splendid qualities that he possessed. He was ever doing charity and kindness to all sorts of people. He was indeed a model husband and father, a good citizen and a loyal and devoted friend, and a Christian gentleman. "To me his offices of concern and thoughtfulness were constant and greatful. In the course of nature he should have survived me, and I always felt that if he did there was no living man on whom I could better rely for kindness and care for my family. I can point to no one whose daily life and character afford a better- and more commendable example to all men to emulate than this. He well deserves all the comforts, blessings and promises of the holy religion he professed and which the distinguished reverend clergy has, on solemn occasion, so ably administered. I care not, though, for creeds in that unknown country from whose bourne no traveler returns—and to which his pure spirit tends—for I feel that the good man who sleeps in all the awful majesty of death in yonder coffin carries with him acceptable credentials to all the happiness that pertains mortals after death. His memory will be treasured."—Atlanta News. If the Mayor would only treat the living as well as he speaks of the dead. Have his white constituents to recognize all Negroes as human, accord all the same rights at the ballot box, free speech, equality of law, his enology would have the desired affect on the public. We fail to see any good from such talk to an audience largely composed of good honest and intelligent citizens of the race who knew the mayor nor his race would not respect their rights however honorable, educated or wealthy. They class all Negroes alike. THE POWER OF THE PRESS. Almost one year ago The Broad Ax began its terrific fight on Rev. Jasper F. Thomas, not because it had or has any personal ill-feeling against him, but the unceasing fight was made on him because it thought his "graft" was too strong and with the hid of Mr. Theodore W. Jones it has succeeded in driving him from his pulpit in Olivet Baptist Church. At the time The Broad Ax began its onslaught on Jasper he made light of it. He called it "a little 3x4 sheet and claimed it could never hurt him, as no one read it". He did not know that the white gentleman who controls the $15,000 which in time will be donated to Olivet Baptist church read each and every copy of The Broad Ax which contained the attacks on him, and those articles influenced or turned this gentleman against Rev. Jasper and when he observed that his hands were tied, and that public sentiment was crystalizing against him, he endeavored to crush out the Broad-ax by persuading Mrs. Rebecca Springtine to go into court and swear to a whole pack of lies respecting the little old political free-booters on whisky slinger from Mississippi and her supposed mother. But Jasper, his women, nor his poorly laid plans or schemes did not phase us and today we have his selap dangling from our belt. The continued fight which was made on him which was unequaled in the history of Chicago spurred the officers of Olivet up to their duty, and through their attorney, B. F. Mosely, they went into court and obtained a writ of injunction restraining Rev. Jasper and his blind followers from attempting to interfere in the management of the affairs of Olivet Baptist church in any manner whatsoever. So on Sunday night after occupying the pulpit in Old Olivet for over fourteen years, Rev. Jasper F. Thomas will be a thing of the past, and if the Lord is willing, Rev. Mr. Fisher, of Nashville, Tenn., will preach and conduct other services at 11 oclock, and he will hold meetings at 8 oclock in the same place whether or no. Mr. Henry T. Elby will have charge of the Sunday School which has grown to be the best and the largest in the city under his supervision, and now that Rev. Jasper has been unhorsed, driven or thrown out of Olivet, her membership will increase and her officers will pay her honest debts.—Chicago Broad Ax. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. John M. Cory, candidate for treasurer, was born in West Virginia in 1861 and came to Kansas in 1867 and has resided on his farm in Eastern township continually since settling in this county. He stands for the laboring people, and is popular with all classes. Many Democrats openly express their choice for him. He is a successful farmer and stock raiser, and no one doubts that his majority will be large. 8HRIFF. W. H. Courtney, the popular candidate for sheriff, was born in 1859 in Alexander township, in this county. He is courteous and gentlemanly. He is always fair and impartial to his fellowman, and conducted the office of county treasurer honestly, honorably and with credit to himself and county. Before entering public service, he was a farmer and stockraiser. Everybody is tor Courtney, and he will be elected. PARTY LABORER. Mr. Riley, the deputy treasurer is laboring day and night to elest the entire ticket. He is a young man to whom we can afford to tie. PROBATE JUDGE. Judge Hawn, the probate judge is a candidate for re-election. He has administered the affairs of office satisfactory to all concerned. COUNTY CLERK C. W. Keiffer, the old soldier formerly in the internal revenue for thirty years, is a candidate for county clerk. The people in Leavenworth county should vote for this old veteran. His opponent, a Democrat, has held the office for thirty-two years and he imagines that he owns the place. Clean him out and let an old soldier of '61 have it. Let Nelhans rest awhile, and show him that the county has other men who can fill the office. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS Hon. W. J. Bailey skinned W. H Craddock, the Democratic candidate for governor Menday evening at the Auditorium. About 3,500 people witnessed the skinning. The brother went through the ordeal as all Democrats do when they get surrounded—dodge the issue by making new and nonsensical ones. We don't think Craddock will want to meet another Republican giant in all of his life to come Below we give what Chairman Albaugh says about the taxes: "I have speat two months," said Chairman Albaugh, "studying over Mr. Craddock's statement that if he is elected governor he will cut the taxes in two. "At home, at Kingman, the school board meets and, after determining how much money they have to raise for school purposes, makes the necessary levy, and this is generally almost one-half of the entire amount of taxes required from the community, and I have wondered how Mr. Craddock, if elected governor, could cut this levy in two. "In the city or in the township, the city council or the township board, as the case may be, meets and, after determining the amount needed to defray the expense of their municipality, makes the necessary levy, and I have wondered how Mr. Craddock, if elected governor, could cut this levy in two. "When it is found how much money is needed to defray the expenses of the county, the commissioners meet and make the necessary levy for this purpose, and I have wondered how Mr. Craddock, if elected governor, could cut this levy in two. "In the state, after there has been determined the amount of money that is necessary to defray the state's expenses, the legislature, while in session, makes the necessary levy to cover this amount, and I have wondered how Mr. Craddock, if elected governor, could cut this levy in two. "I am greatly relieved to have discovered Mr. Craddock's system. I have received from Kansas City a copy of the Wyandotte tax-roll, which shows how Mr. Craddock has been successful not only in cutting his taxes in two, but avoiding altogether the payment of any taxes, and after studying his system I am at a loss to know why he should go over this state promising the people that, if elected, he will cut their taxes in two, when in his own case he has used this system to relieve himself of the entire burden. "The system is simple, can be adopted by every man to suit his own case, and requires no legislation to make it effective. "I have only one criticism to offer; that is, that Mr. Craddock does not promise to treat all the people as well as he has himself. He promises them merely a reduction of 50 per cent. of their taxes. Why does he not let them in on the ground floor with himself and relieve the people of the entire burden, as the following records show he has relieved himself?" "W. H. Craddock's name does not appear upon the tax-roll of Wyandotte county, and never has. He does not pay taxes on either personal property or real estate. Mary E. Craddock, the wife of W. H. Craddock, paid taxes on real estate at No. 328 Lafayette avenue in 1901. This property is the homestead. Mary E. Craddock's name appears upon the personal-property tax-roll for 1901. Valuation of personal property $1020, the taxes on which for 1901 were $45.20. This tax, however, was not paid voluntarily, but was collected by the sheriff of Wyandotte county as is shown by tax-warrant No. 299 for 1901. "Upon the roll for 1902 W. H. Craddock's name does not appear at all, and Mary E. Craddock, his wife's name, does not appear this year upon the roll of personal property, so that the Craddock family will pay no taxes this year, except upon the homestead, which is owned by the wife, and the wife pays that. "Thus it will be seen that W. H. Craddock, the Democratic candidate NUMBER 40. The Bailey-Craddock Debate Monday Evening Was a Spirited Contest, in Which Craddock Was Skinned. Other Interesting Notes of a Political Nature Over the State. for governor, has never paid one cent toward defraying the expenses of his state, his county, or his city, and that his wife has finally caught onto the system and relieved herself of all personal-property taxes. "In view of these facts, no one will accuse Mr. Craddock of kicking upon taxes on his own account." Over in Atchison county everybody is talking straight Republicanism. The Hon. Chas. Curtis and Honest Uncle John Seaton are running neck and neck. The Hon. Mr. Bailee Waggener seems to be judge of the races. Some believed he would enter, but up to a short time ago he decided to look on as Uncle John would run fast enough to win easily. Everything is harmonious in the fight, and as for Mr. Waggener, he simply wants to have a little fun Uncle Daniel Marken, candidate for sheriff on the Democratic ticket, denies that he will get off of the ticket. He says that he is in the race to a finish, and that the circulation of such reports has a tendency to injure his chances. He is a conscientious Christian gentleman, and is temperate in all things and can be relied upon to attend to his own business. Commissioner Haynes and Representative Betts have filled their respective offices so creditable that they can safely rely upon a large majority in the North district. They are men who keep their promises. Shawnee county will give 2,500 majority for the Republican ticket Nov. 4. Lucas and Nichols' majority will not be less than 1,500, probably 2,000. It's all wind to talk about defeating a straight Republican nominee by a few sore heads and disgruntled hyenas and wolves who can give no excuse. We advise our colored friends to stay in line. To the victors belong the epoils. Hon. Chas. Luelling, Republican candidate for insurance commissioner was in the city last week shaking hands with the boys. He is one of the most popular gentlemen on the ticket, and well liked by all classes. He is a friend of the Negro and has gone out of his was to do him favors. He was county clerk of Sedgwick county for years, and no one can defeat him in that locality for anything he may ask. Mr. Luelling is popular all over the state, and a member of the typographical union, although he has not worked at the trade for years. He always stands up for Wichita. MOB VIOLENCE The other day a mob at Leesburg, Virginia, broke open the jail and took from it a colored prisoner, whom they lynched. This man was accused of the murder of a white resident of the locality, although there seems to have been some doubt as to his guilt and if the occurrence had stopped there it would not have excited special mention. It is noteworthy, however, that reputable public sentiment in this Virginia community seems to be somewhat different from that which prevails in so many other towns throughout the south. A coroner's jury which was called to hold an inquest actually went so far as to find that the colored prisoner was "feloniously killed", and implicated in its charge not fewer than ten persons who who were concerned in the mob's action. Several of these have been arrested, and are to be held for trial, and it is reported that the others are likely to be in custody shortly. Whether any of them will be convicted or not is a question.

Perhaps never in the history of our people in this city have we had such an arary of strong men; intellectualually and morally filling the pulpits of our various churches. These men seem devoted to their work, and to the uplifting of our people. It would not be amiss at this time to effect a strong organi- zation of ministers and laymen, with the view of taking up in a systematic way, the Christian work in this city. There are many children out of the public schools who should be there every day. They are out for varions causes, but mostly through indifierence. There are many children and grown people for that matter, out of our Sab. bath schools, and for the same reason. Why can't our preachers, teachers and laymen, lay aside their denominational predelic- tions and take hold of thi: problem with a determiniation tc do something tangible. An Old Kansan5 W. B. Townsend, an old Kansan is winning fame in Colo- rado as may be seen by the fol- lowing paragraph: Richard Hawkins, who on the 2nd of March, 1902, at a dance given by Frank Miller, out in that part of the city known as ‘Salt Creek,"’ shot and killed Waltsr: Smith, had his trial in the Dis- trict Court before Judge Vorhees and a jury oftwelvemen. Haw- kins wastried for murder in the firstdegree. He reatinedthe ser- vices of W.

But through the industrious efforts of his attorney who fought for every inch of ground for twoday. Hawkins’ crime was reduced to manslaugh- ter.

Concluded from Page 1. getting awhite jury to convict men of their own race who are accused of offenses against Negroes. But the incident at any rate shows that in some places in the south public opinion is no longer prepared to uphold the lawless slaughter of per- sons charged with crime. Every indication of this sort ought to be jereeted with sppoval. A former Congressman from Texas is quoted assaying pertinently that “ao pen can adequately describe the damage that has been wrought to the south- em states by reason of unjawful exe- cutions. The harm it may do the victim is small, indeed, compared to the injary inflicted by the perpetra- tors on their own community, state and section, A prejudice towards the south, inimical and detrimental to it, willbe cherished by the rest of the world so long as lynchings are ccntinued.”” This utterance from a southerner is sensible and manly. From every standpoint, material as well as moral, the tolerance of mob out- tageis destructive. The fact that outrages of this kind occasionally |take place in the north does not jalter the situation. For every even Jofthis kind above Mason and Dix. Jon's line there are probably twenty or thirty in the south itself. The ,] members of mobs that lynch prison Jers should be subject to punishmen’ t|wherever these deeds occur. Bu the fact remains that it is in th -|south where the evil has grown ti jjits present formidable proportion: ,|and the friends of the south’s rea interests are those who wage ene: getic warfare against 1t.—Philadel phia Bulletin.

Make our children our companions rather than impress upon their minds that they are merely dependents.

If they are out of school, and have nothing to do take them with you to your work and and teach them to do what you do in an intelligent manner.
