FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 3, 1919. Andrew Carne (Literary Digest.) < Mr. Carnegie seems never to have I been a church-member, and at the I time of his death it was published 1 that even his widow could not tell if ' he had any preference. The funeral ceremonies were therefore a com- < posite of the Presbyterian and Congregational rituals, tho the Unlversa- 1 list church, to which he was at times ?<ii aiiiuuani, ciauns nim as an ex- : ponent of the fundamentals of its ^ creed. "His connection with the church of the Divine Paternity in New York may have heen very large, ly personal." says The Universaltst , Leader (Boston), "but it is pleasant to trace the connection between many of his great benefactions and the spirit of brotherhood, for which that church, under its various ministries, has stood." The Brooklyn Kagle takes the line of Abou-ben-adhem? "Count me as one who loves his fellow men,'' as perhaps the best formulation of the creed that Mr. f'arnegie preached and practised. It goes on to quote a passage from his "ClOSnel Of Woillfil " ulinvilnir "the philanthropist, tho keeping his' own mind fixt on practical and morel or less material problems, realized the charm of devotionalisni in the' Chu rch": "Once within Its massive circle, its; denizens live there an inner life morej precious than the external, and all! their ways are hallowed by the radiance which shines from afar upon this] inner life, glorifying everything and keeping all right within." St. Thomas a kempis might have written those words, observes the writer In The Eagle, adding that "often and forcefully Mr. Carnegie wrote and spoke of the usefulness of the Church to civilization of his own faith in an overruling Providence. Without that faith his life could not have been what it was." A passage from one of these addresses, the one given by Mr. Carnegie at the opening of Carnegie House in Northampton,! Mass, in April, l!?o.r>, is quoted by j the Rev. Martin K. Schetnerhorn in j a letter to The Christaiu Register! (Boston). It exhibits this universalism in these words: "I look forward to the time when a community like this will have no fundamental differences: when instead of having different denominations, you will all conie to see that the theologies are many, religion in its essence is one, and agree to come together as one united body, striving nn'c wilh the f?llw?r f,,?- i good ; so that in regard to the things of tills world, being of 0110 mind, you may also he of one mind with regard to the fundamental elements of those tliim x of the Spirit about whieh men today differ and divide into sects all traveling the same road." Mr. Schermerhorn adds this interesting note: "Two weeks later, on April 20. was publicly announced the gift of $10,000,Odd to provide annuities to college professors, an express condition [ '-ji| Urm^j^|T| The Catholic News takes it as a i Protestant trait that mystery should \ have surrounded Mr. Carnegie's pro- | fesslon of faith at the time of his death. It voices its amazement there- | fore: "That a man should live to ho more titan oigtythree years of age. lie a public figure on both sides of the Atlantic, possess great wealth, lie married, have a wife and a daughter : and have his name stamped on hundreds of buildings, yet tie so uncypres- , sivr tin religion, so inactive in direct religious participation, that his own wife could not tell what shade of belief the man held Is an extraordinary fact. Most Scots have set opin- ' ions and beliefs upon religions matters. The Scotch fought against hav iiig tin* Kstablished Chur'di of I0n?r land mado the Kstablished Chnn h of Scotland, and won their battle. The differences between the Old ? Light Presbyterians and the New Light ^Vre you hi on all ] m J 9 V igie's Religion j V of which was that no sectarian institution or person should derive bene (it therefrom. The asme condition had been made relative to the numerous Carnegie libraries and simlar benefactions. A main object of all Mr. Carnegie's benefactions is to establish universal relation a world-wide spirit of catholicity." A further light upon Mr. Carnegie's attitude to denominatlonalism is furnished by the editor of the Baptist Watchman Examiner (Boston): "Mr. Carnegie was not a churchman. Despite his high moral character and his generous impulses, he made no public profession af allegiance to the world's Savior. What transactions took place between this man and his (Jod the world does not know. Now he is in the presence of iiiai jusi unci mercuui uoci. ( "Why was it that Mr. Carnegie was J not an outstanding Christain man t and a Baptist? The writer saw Mr. t Carnegie several times, but only on"o 1 did he have the privileges or -cnver- ' sat ion with him. That was an ex* t perienee which we shall never for- t get. It was at a dinner given by < Mr. Carnegie in his New Yo-lc man i slon. A friend mentioned to Mr Carnegie that the gentleman a' out to lie j presented was editor of The Watch- , man-Examiner, 'the Baptist paper ' , Mr. Carnegie grasped our hand and ( said: 'I am glad to meet you. You j will he interested to know that my ( mother was a Baptist.' We exprest , our great interest, and with a twin- , kle in his eye said: 'It was when I \ was n little hoy in Scotland. I might j have been a Baptist myself, but you \ know the water is pretty cold in ] Scotland.' We were not willing that ( even Mr. Carnegie should joke in | our presence about baptism, and so i we changed the conversation by say- ^ ing: 'Well there was always some- , thing nice about you that could not be accounted for, and now it turns | out that you had a Baptist mother.'( That explains everything.' Mr. Car-', tiegie laughed heartily, and others ( took our place before our host." i THE LANCASTER NEW i'ere sharp and rigid.

Many had believed, and (he's statements were published wide* a spread at the time of his death, that, n rast as his gift had been, his residual f fortune equaled them. He died t possest of but twenty-tlve to thirty !b Millions, however, all of which was j c lesignated, by will, for distribution t n some form of charity. His bene-'t 'actions in life had been estimated t is more than $:?r>0.000,000. "Tho^' Scriptures reckoned that a ti'he't iquared accounts with Heaven," rays f he New York Tribune; "here was a t nan who tithed himself nine times." 1 The belief underlying these benefac- <1 lions is brought out in an article by t he secretary of the Carnegie Foun- c lation. Mr. Clyde Kurst, in The Kven- f ng Post Magazine (New York): 't "In 188!?. at the age of fifty-four. | j tie published an essay which, at the suggestion of Mr. Gladstone, was given wide circulation under the title af 'The Gospel of Wealth."- On the text that riches are 'only a sacred irust to be administered for th?' pen- * *ral pood,' he argued briefly that/ wealth comes from and shold return |* to the community. It arises only;r partly from labor, discovery, Inven- ' lion, individual ability, and enter'* | prise; it is due primarily to the increasing demands of an increasing ' population. Meanwhile the distribu-/ tion of wealth lags behind the im- ' provement in the hours of labor, wages, and the general condition of ? wage-earners. The community, ' Ihorefore, should enforce progressive taxation, concluding with practically t confiscatory death duties, thus both 1 claiming its own and persuading the 1 rich to employ directly in distribu-/ tion the activity from which the com- ' munity has already profited indirectly through their accumulation. / "'This. then, is the duty of the* man of wealth; To set an example of modest, unostentatious living, slum-/ ning display or extravagance; to/ provide moderately for the legitimate/ wants of those dependent upon him; j and alter doing so. to consider all 1 surplus revenues which cnine to h'p, J simply as trust funds, which he Is 1 called upon to administer, and strict- ' ly bound as a matter of duty to ad ' minister the manner which, in his 1 judgment, is lust calculated ?.i or. . dure the most b?>notioial results for the community.' "These ideas arc by no moans now. hut they wore never before soon enunciated so definitely by so t i? i? a man. 1 ami no one over carried thorn nut 1 with equal consistency."

C. eulth, their radicalism is overtop-![ ed by Tlic Christain Century (Chicu-j o): j When ho was at the height of his lfluence in tlic business world, the reator of millions and of million ires, he hogan to feel with increasing ensitiveness the pressure of public pinion against the accumulation of mmense fortunes. He had not ad anced far enough as yet to perceive rith the conscience of today that th??| eiuai gaining of such an Immense J um Is of itself an immoral thing, in I olvlng as it does manifest injustire I t> the social order that makes it pos-]1 ible and to the men and women whojj ssist in the process but share only j leagerlv in its results. Hut he was', ar enough edvanced in his reflec-j| ion upon the obligations of wealth j I o perceive that fortunes so gathered | an not in the fullest sense belong t<> 11 he man who has been clever enough j o secure them. They are in reality 'i he possession of the community in ! thich they have been made. With hat thought in his mind, and in some I ear that he might have seen the | ruth too late to organize it into | lis program, he set himself to the | listribution of his fortune, conscious j hat the giving away of money is me of the most dangerous and deli-'] ate of operations. It is quite likely [i o do greater harm than good." s. E X T :JOT I1 RETN I ON ASHEV1LLE IN 1920 (Continued From Fage 1.) u-llh l.l.wwl ... ?
