"What Is the Matter with the Churches?" asks Theodore Dreiser, Editor of The Delineator and Dr. Park hurst answers: "Doctrinal formulas count very much less with Christians than form? erly. Men who think carefully and feel deeply discriminate much more sharp? ly than formerly between theology and religion, between the part the In- j tellect plays and the part the heart j and the will play in Christianity. "There Is, of course, an advantage in brooding over the great doctrines of the gospel; and it may be made auxiliary to the life, but the Invisible spirit of the gospel will soak into the soul to a depth Impossible to any for? mulation of th* gospel's meaning. These things lie out too distinctly on the very face of Christ's teaching to excuse either those in the church or out of it for failing to act on the basis of the view herewith presented, save for the reason that a degree of prom? inence, due to ecclesiastical contro ^jbrales, has been given to the matter of the intellectual conception of gos pel truth, that has obscured the more fundamental and fruitful significance of Christianity experienced as a new life begun in the soul; a life that leans toward the law laid down by the Mas? ter; a life that has begun to learn the lesson of love taught and exemplified by Him; and a life along the pathway of service over which He has gone be? fore. "While, then, it is not to be denied that the Christian Church is the most powerful organization anywhere for the uplift of the race. Its power would be tremendously enhanced if church members would realise that church privileges are mated with church obli? gations, and If they would not allow the Church to he considered so close a corporation as to exclude those who ought properly to be In it. but who are at present kept out by barriers of misapprehension and tradition." PELLAGRA A BACILLI DISEASE. Pour Cases Discovered In Savannah? Great Deel to be Learned About The Disease. Savannah, Qa., Sept. 1?.?That four of pellagra exist in Savannah was made known yesterday when some new cases were reported to Health Offleer W. H. Brunner. This! Is the first Intimation that the gen? eral public has had that the disease haa existed at all In Savannah. Much Interest is taken in the cases by the locSl physicians. Three of the cases are negroes. City Bacteriologist Victor H. Bassett is making a special study of the cases. He la one of the highest authorities upon bacteriology in America, having written several standard works. He regards the disease as one about which there is yet a great deal to learn. He Is not certain yet as to whether or not it is caused by a bae sta 'Circumstantial evidence was very strong in Europe, where the disease occurred there," he says, "that spoil? ed corn was the cause. Outbreaks of the disease followed upon shipments In a locality of corn that was not in good condition. But from the turn the disease has taken as it has been found in the South, I really believe that there may be grounds for its be? ing considered a bacilli disease. There is still a great deal for the medical profession to learn about it. That, at least. 1? certain to my mind." ?"Can be depended upon" is an ex? pression we all like to hear, and when It hi used In connection with Cham? berlain's Colic.

The Naval Com, minder Declares That He 1m Glad t; ie Prospect is Bright For a Spee<ly Settlement of the Po? lar Controversy, and Claims he is Heady to Prove Tliat Cook Never Keoched the Pole. Battle Harbo.% Labrador, Sept. 16. ?(Via Marconi Wireless Telegraphy to Cape Ray, N. F.,?Commander Robert E. Peary declared today that Dr. Cook was expected by the world to submit to ar impartial tribunal, or board of arbitration, a revised and authentic signed statement of his al? leged discovery of the pole. Dr. Cook soon would rea.ch the United States, Commander Peary said, and he was glad at the prospect of the matter be? ing submitted lor consideration at an early date. It should be done inside of a couple ol weeks, and when it was done, the Commander declared, he was prepared to turn over to the board of arbitration, to the public and to the scientific bodies an array of testimony which would disprove Dr. Cook's claims for all time. Continuing, the explorer said that he had stated In a private message to a friend that Dr. Cook had given the world a "gold brick." This message had been allowed to leak out, and while he would have preferred a more elegant expression, he was will? ing now to let these words stand, be? cause they were at least emphatic. The explorer uaid also that he would turn over to a competent tribunal and the public certified copies of his own observations made on his trip to the pole, with all other information bear? ing thereon. Peary does not care to exhibit these records at the present time, for the reason that the inform? ation contained therein, if divulged in advance of the placing on file of Dr. Cook's authorized and definite state? ment, might be of advantage to the Cook partisans. It is rumored here that Comman? der Peary's brief will contain sensa? tional statements, and that a portion of his document was prepared as long ago as the early months ef 1908. when letters were received from Dr. Cook In Greenland giving notice that he intended to make a dash for the pole. Comamnder Peary dwelt particu? larly upon the observations taken at the apex of the world, and the move? ments of Harry Whitney, the sports? man of New Haven, Conn., who has been described as the bearer of rec? ords substantiating Dr. Cook's claims to have reached the pole April 21, 19?8.

A salesman's desire to extern! his acquaintance Is laudable, but he must use judgment in the manner In which he dots it. John L. Vance (which is not his name) the best salesman of a large Chicago house, had just returned the night before from a trip through Kansas. He was seated at his desk dictating when two detectives from the Central Station presented them? selves for admission. "Are you Mr. John L. Vance?" th asked. "I am," was the reply. "And is this - Michigan ave? nue?" "It is." "I am sorry." said one of the de? tectives, showing his star, "but we will have to ask you to accompany us to the station. We have had a tele? gram from the sheriff at McPherson, Kas., giving us your full name and address, asking us to hold you on charge of fraud." j j Mr. Vance was dumfounded. He 1 had only been In McPherson over- i I night, had failed to sell his man any i I goods, had paid his hotel bill, and J left town the following morning. At I the police station he convinced the I chief that there must be some mis I take, and was released upon his j promise to return the following morn I Ing, at which time further details I were expected. I When Vance arrived at his office in J the morning there was a night tele I gram on his desk from a clothing firm I at McPherson which read as follows: I "Unless you wire money, will impris I on you for obtaining goods under j false pretenses." The sender of the I telegram Vance had never heard of. I Nor did the description received from I McPherson at the police station dur I ing the day fit him. The chief was I satisfied of the mistake, and dismiss I ed his suspect. ? Then Vance began to think. He I remembered that on the train as he I was nearing McPherson, his com* I panion in the smoker had been a dap 1 per young man with whom he had ex I changed cards, after a few minutes I of conversation. It afterward devel I oped that this man had presented the I card anr*. obtained a suit of clothes I asking the dealer to send tbe bill j around to the hotel the following eve I nlng. His expense funds were ex j e I pected, was the man's excuse for not I paying cash. He had missed his I check in the last town. The merchant consulted a "rating" I book, and as Mr. Vance's firm was I well rated the credit was granted. I Needless to say, neither the dapper I young man nor the suit of clothes I waa to be found in the hotel the fol I lowing evening. The register showed I that Mr. Vance had left that morn I ing.
