Plainville News 100 HUGH SELLNG IN HODERN CHURCH ,Speaker Criticizes “Business” Attitude Toward Religion ;300 ATTEND CONG. DINNER [Dr. Laubach Urges Keeping Faith in Philippines—Well Child Confer- ence Friday—Boy's Finger Out Off—Red Cross Report—Briefs. The tendency of the modern busi- ness man to look at religlon merely as another business akin to his own was denounced by Rev. Dr. Willis H. Butler of Hartford in his speech be- fore 300 men from the Congrega- tional churches of this district last levening at the high school. His fine speech was one of several to which the churchmen listened with atten- tlon. The other main addresses of the evening were delivered by Rev. Dr. Frank C. Daubach, a missionary recently returned from pine: the Philip- and Rev, William S. Beard of York city, Governor John H. Trumbull was master of ceremonies and introduced the visiting speakers. Rev. Charles 8. 3 pastor of the Plainville Congregational church, made the in- vocatfon. Bernard L. Mullins led the men in a number of songs during the dinner. Recligion Too Much a Business Religion is becoming too much & matter of organization, of “go-get- ting,” and of boosting, Dr. Butler warned In his talk on “Religlon and the Practical Man.” Yet even in these days when everything is thought of In terms of big business, he went on, the church still mana- £08 to retain its spiritual values. An abstract of his speeeh follows: 0 careful observer of modern life can fail to notice the tendency to organize, Along with everything clse religion has been organized and one result is the type of church that closely resembles a department store. Tn the opinion of many so-called “practical men” if a church 18 to coed it must be ples of big busin site of its pastor i ,0f qualities which i I world distinguish the is called a “promot 1 The first re- the posse the commercial individual who His business is to “secll the gospel” Its dcacons must be “hustler: Its members, co-zetters”” The principal object in going to the house of God on &un- day is not to engage n divine wor- ship, but to grasp some unsuspeeting stranger by the hand and “land him.” It the kingdom of God is te bhe advanced we are told that it must jbe boosted and advertised. It must have its press agents, its hand con- ctacular conventions, i Chautauqua salutes. Unless there is abundant evidence that these things are heing done the church is mot considered faithful to the commis- sion of its Divine Founder. “In his religlon, as in everything clse, the prectical man puts the em- phasis on the human side. This process of humanizing religion fs all well enongh up to a certain point imt it may be carried so far that God will become climinated, This is ihe danger to which our generation exposed. The business of the hureh is to make God real to pe ple. 1t is a field in which there is not much competition nowadays. | “Whenever the church s mention- d, superficial minds immediately think of a number of highly respect- ble people comfortably in a well-appointed building on the first day of the week. They sing the old, familiar hymns and listen to the well-known Gospel story, The hene- diction is pronouneed, the congrega~ tion files out in dignified fashion, the <exton locks the doors and it is all over for another week. And so it Sundays in the year, and that re is to it.

Charging that America has broken faith with the Filipinos and is incur- ring the distrust of the Orient, Dr. Taubach urged that administration of the islands be taken out of the hands of politicians and placed in those of experts in various phases| of activity, in order that the Philip- I pines might sooner become ready for their promised independence. An abstract of Dr. Laubach’s address on “Getting {n and Getting Out of the Philippines” follows: ‘““America, compared with the rest of the world today 4s a paradise. Unless we watch our international relatlons it will be short-livi | paradise. We have come upon enor- | mous power since the war. We are headed toward ownership of the whole world, FEast, west, south they | ars nervous about us. Can the world | trust us with a power unparalleled in history? TUpon that answer to that question depends whether the world will unite fn hating us. ‘Splendid isolation’ is a extinct as dinosaurs. ‘We are ignorant, fatally ignorant, 1 of Asla. We do not see that keeping { faith with the Iilipinos will gain the confidence of the Orfent, and breaking faith with the Filipinos will earn the hatrcd of the Orlent. The question of independence ought to be | taken out of politics forever. It ought to be placed in the hands of commissions of specialists on educa- tion, finance, labor, language. rocial conditions and international rela- tlons; and when thess commissions j report that it {s safe to withdraw | we ought to go. This would lift the | Philippine question to the level of a splendld co-operative enterprise in which both Americans and the ¥ilf- pinos would work together to make the Philippines a model of demo- jcracy in Asia. The present method of using independence as a political football in America and the Philip- pines is insane for a country so sys- ! tematic as America and ap ingly perilous. l “We can make the Philippines ‘a beacon of hope for Asia.'

While some are declaring him to Lbe Wood- | irow Wilson, still others Theodore ! Roosevelt, a third group name Abra- ham Lincoln, and a fourth George Washington. An Englishman insists upon having his way with reference to the matter. This Englishman is none other than one who saw eerv- ce through the World war and is inow private chaplain to the king of Englan, s in a recent article in the ‘I believe that Ahraham as the first Amerjcan, When he led up his camels and went out from his | father's home in Ur of the Chaldeas toward a land he knew not of, serk {ing reedom to worship God aceord- iing to the dictates of his own con- science, the stars and stripes went before him, a pillar of cloud by day | |and fire by night.’ | “The meaning of the famouy chaplain is this: That an American | is not necessarlly a man who lives in i a land bounded by two oceans and the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, a man who speaks certain languages and wears certain styles of clothes and has the blood race flowing through his veins, but that an American is primarily a man with a certain outlook on life—a { man of the pionecr spirlt. | “Now this pioncer spirlt which has characterized not only great men of all lands, but in a preeminent ¢ jgree, those who have dwelt on these shores, has manifested itself in no finer way than in the life and de- | velopment of our churches. The church in the United States, there- fore, of whatever mame or slgn, is Inot an accldent, does not represeny an occasional interest, is never in the | nature of a side show or a negligivie | concern, but rather is at the.very heart of the nation, and is that ex- isting in which the real spirit of, | America. reveals itselt most frecly and most gloriously, | “As a part of the chureh ! | America, Congregationalism has had, | at thmes, at least ‘the right of the | 1 line’ No denomination, it may fn fairness be said, has more clearly es- tablished this plonecr spirit. “It is in four great departments of Christlan activity that I desire to reveal at this time the outworking of this principle.

Church extension begins with the organiza- tlon of the Sunday achool in a needy community. Its second step is the organization of the church. Its third step is the provision of the church folk with a plant for the housing of the pastor, the services of worship and the work. ‘The second great area in which the Congregational churches have displayed this ploneer apirit ts In the opportunities for Christian educa- tion afforded the under-privileged races in the Unjted Staf the colored man.
