THE OMAHA ON TEARING DOWN THE BARS Reserve Delegate Orthe Doxy Has Some- thing to fay to the Conference, DEPRECATES DOCTORING THE DISCIPLINE Btands Up for Grand Ofd Curry’s “Index’'— Outspoken Comment on a Liberal D.D.'s Article In the Methos dist Review. To Judge Earnest B. Liever, Goneral Conference, Omana: Dear Friend—I am feelin’ purty bad again, an’ so is Hanuer, my wife. 1 am not sufferin' from any bodily alement, but I'm awl flustered up in my mind. 1 didn't feel any wuss when 1 got ‘beat in a hoss trade once by o littlo preacher from down east somewhere, that some con- forenco had took on trial some years ago an’ sent him out west to minister to the spiritual wants of us benighted fellers on the fronters. I expect the spellin’ will be wuss than common, but I must unboosom myself, or I'm afraid sometnin’ will blow up. Ye seo it come on us very sudden, an’ was so differ- ent from anything that wo had any reason to éxpoct from a Methodist preacher that it was jist like eittin’ knocked over witha thunder bolt out of a clear sky. This is how t happenod, Sam, my hired man, was bringin’ in the eggs last evenin’ and I was comin’ in from he barn at the same time, when our preacher drovo up in his buegy end handed Sam the last number of the Methodist Ite- view. It s a marvel to me and Hanner how Sam Kin git so interested in that maggyzeen, but be jist devours it from bewinnin’ to end, an’ then scams as if he wanted to holler for more. It's too hevy for Hanner an’ me, but then we're gittin’ “old. Well our preacher has been a bringin’ it to Sam right along, aa’ tbat's how he come to fetch jt yesterday. After ho'd handed it to Sam he rewarked, as he cast a side glauce at them eggs that Sam was carryin’ ina baskit—there was about soven dozen of 'em—**Well, Brother Doxy, I'm glad to see thav you are inducin’ the 1y orh llout” Then bo whiped up and was out of sight in ajiffy. Sam went in tho house with a grin on his face, but I had to stand by tho gato more than five minutes befor I could figger out whathe meant. Then awl at ounce it flashed ooto me an’ then I went into the house an’ got that baskitof ezgs an’ sent them as & present over to the parsonage in & , deiivery wagon that was going that way. Well, after supper was over an’ the chores was awl done, Henner got her knittin’ an’ 1 got the evenin’ paper an’ then we settied ourseives comfortably in our accustomed places near the centor table in the sottin’ room. Sam was out atthe barn when we sot down, but purty soon he was by the stove with his slippers on an’ his feet strotched out to the fire—for the evenin’s be some cool yet—an'in his hand was that Review. He looked at the front cover, an’ jist as my eyes fell ontoa eddytorial on the tariff question, in the paper I'was readin’, I heard him say: *“Hell!” 1 most jumped out of my chair, an’ Hanner was 80 scared that she dropt her knitlin’ an’ turned pail; but Sam didn’t notive our agi- tation a ite. I looked at Hanner in speechloss astonish- ment, an’ sho looked at me in silent dismay. ‘We was both certain that Sum had swore, an’' Hauner after a minit turned to speak to him about 1t, when the feller, who was by this time lookin’ at the back cover, bust out a-laflin’ an’ roared till tho tears rolea down his face. Then Hunner spoke as soon as Sam held up a hirtle, an’ her voice had a tone cf reproof in it. “Why, Sam, how could you! I never—" But here Sum roared again, an' then he fairly shouted: *Oh, but thut Men- denhall’s a sharp one. Here on the back of the cover he has printed: ‘For 1802—The following attractive speciaities are offercd : 1 Burning questions in theology; n series.’ An’ then he goes on to mention some other specialties.” ‘1 don’tsee nothin® in that to laff at,” said Hanner, an’ she was about to proceed with her reproof, when Sam said: *Ob, but look here. After sayin’ that he is goin’ to pub- lish a series of burnin’ questions on theology, he has puolished the first one of the series by Bishop Nowman, on *Hell.” " To say that I felt relieved hardly ex- resses it, and Hanner said, as she resumed er kniitin’: “Well, I'm glad it's no wuss, 1 was sfeared you had swore a oath,” After that awl was quiet for. a spoll, Hanner a makin’ her knittin’ needles click along in fine shape, an' Sam an’ me a readin’, 1 had got deeply interestet in the arzyments in the eddvtorial on the tariff, an’ stopped to figger cut how much I would make on my wool .crop next year if thc demo- crats git into power, for accordin’ to the editor of my ' paper it would amount to—well, he didn’t say jist how much in conts, but from what he said I guessed it would be several fractions -of & gooa deal, an’ maybe more, an’ I had bought seventeen head of sheep the day be- fore, 8o I thoueht 1 would figger on my wool prospects a little, when awl at once Sam RIVO a angry snort an’ kicked one of Han- ner's flower pots over that sho had been a warmin' by the stove, for sho had filled 1t with fresh earth an’ was a-warmin’ 1t so that things would grow better in 1t. He jutped up an’ repuired the damnge in minit, an’ then, handin’ me the Review, said, in a tone of miugled indignation and disgust: “If that don't beet the Dutch, an’ the dagos, then 'm willin’ to curry the hosses with my Sunday close on, silk ‘bat an’ awl. T'here's a article by a Methodist docter of divinity on another ‘burmin’ subject, Read it.” T'hen hie begun to stride back an’ forch ‘with his hands in his pockets, an' a frown on his face, awl the time a chawin’ o wooden tooth pick, an’ waitin’ for me to begin, I knowed it was no use to try to get out of ir, #0 L lncked at the acticlo an’ red tho title which was: *“Our Special Legislation on Amuscments; Honest Doubt as to its Wis- dom." “Then Sam spit out tho remnants of tho " toothpick which he had chawed awl to pieces by this time, and remarked: *That's the way with all them doubters, every mother's #0n of ’om begins by suyin’ bo's ‘honest.’ " ‘"1 waited a minit, an’ as he didn't say nothin’ more on that p'int I started on with “my readin’ as rollers : 'As thio eagle delights to broast the tem- posl, 80 some minds seem never 50 happy as When in an atmosphore of controversy. Here I stopt to clear my througnt, an’ Han- nersaid: “Why, ho starts out real nice. 1 think that sentence 1s real purty with the eagle int. I declare, if it don'v set my mind 1o soarin’ richt now," That's Huoner's way, always tryin’ to put, in & good word, but Sam still kep' trampin’ around, I red a fow more lines in which the feller says bo &in't u-writin’ for ibe fun of 1t, or 0rds Lo tuat effeckt, an’ then 1 come to this : “1 write because 1 believe that the section a0 our Discipline, inserted by the eencral conference of 1802, presenting to the church an authoritative index expurgatorius of amusements, was & most grave blunder of ecclesinstical logislation,” It was a very strange thing for Hanner to do, for stie most always keeps quiet whoen 1'm readin’ u picco for n, but agin she stopt knittin’ to remark: My sakes olive! Is it posaihlo thoy done sech a dretful thing as thatan’ we never heurd of it jeforet Why I thought robody but tho Catholics bo- lleved in purgatory. Au' now he tells us 1hat the general conferenco of 1893 giv the eburch some kind of a purgatory for amuso- mwent ! Saw stopt walkin', looked at Hanner with a respectful simite, au' satd: “Beg pardon, ‘but you must remember that it is agin the lnw for » groat lowerit' preacher with a DD, tai Lo o0 10 his name to write & article without suxin’ a littie Greele or Latin into it, It wouldo't pass wuster nohow if it didn’t smell a little of some dead lingo. When he savs ‘index ex purgatorious of amusements,’ ho meaus 1o say a list of pro- bibited amusements, I guess," YQun, that's it,” suid Hanuer, “but what amuseincals did that geuosal confercuce pro- ibite? “Lat bim tell.” suld Sam, as ho nodded at the article, an’ I red on till I struck this: I am not personally ad zicted to any of the customs probibated in the chapier of the Disglpline unaer consideration. 1 bavenever boen & daacer, never s theater-goer, Bover u card-playel When I read tha for a fractica ot & Hanner seemed dazed cond, wn' then she sald: “Does that Methodist preasher mean to say that the general conference blunderea when it probibited them things!" . “That's what he does,’ said Sam, ‘‘on’ accordin’ to his notion it blundered when it probibited goin’ to circuses, an’ hoss-races an’ other things of the same sort. Fact is," he continued, “'the Methodist church been & blunderin’ right along through its whole history if his position is correct. It blundered when 1t prohibited slave-hardin’, an' licker-sellin’, an’ drinkin' among the members, an' it hlunderad when 1t said that it woulan't take in_any more preachers that smoked, or chawed an' spit tobacker around?' 'But them's not ‘amusements,’'" I ven- 1 to remark. ell, s'pose we admit that they haint," ho answered; ‘‘thoy belong to the sphere of human conduct anyhow, an’ further on he says that the church haint no bizness to bother its :nombers by ‘fencing them behind doubtful prohibitive statutes of conduct.’’ After he said that I went on with the readin’ for some time, through that part where the writer claims—what nobody in his right mind will dispute—that amusement is @ nocessity of human uater; au' on throueh the part whore he pays a high tribute to Dr. Curry, the grand old Methodist warrior who was chiefly instrumental in gittin’ this Yindex expurgatorius on amusements’ into- the Dis- cipline. Whon I bad finisbed {hat part ot the article, an’ was about to begin on_his ob- jections to the law compimined of, Sam sot down in his ohair, leaned back, folded his arms, stretched his feet 'toard the fire an’ remurked : ‘Accordin® o his say Daniel Curry was about the only distinguished representative of eastern Methodism in that genoral confer- ence of 1872, or else there has been a big change in the opinions of them eastern Methodists siuco the oid hero aied, for he says there that he has hunted up the views of ‘many representative m both minis- ters and laymen, in our eastern Metnodism,’ an’ he solemuly dectures that he has yet to find % single man’ who doesn’t believe with him that the general conference of 1872 blun:ered in puttin’ that ‘index expurgatorius on amusements’ into the Discipline.” *Oh well,” smd Hanner, *‘he don't mean that e got the views of all the big men, an’ he don’t say that they are all of his way of thinkin’, for don’t you see he don’t mention the viows of tho married men at all, but says that the ‘single’ mon was all on his side; an’ surely some of then bigeastern Methodists is married " Sam coughed a little, like as if a speck of pepper had got into his throat, an’ then 1 be- gan to read the feller’s “‘objections’ to this “index expurgatorius on amusements.” Hore is the first one: “This legislation 1s un-Protestant in its character.” I rod along through his attempt to tell what Protestantism is, till I come 1o this: “Protestantism emphasizes individual re- } sponsibility. It thrusts an open bible into the hands of every veliever, and not only concedes his right, but bids him exercise the duty of becomiug himself the student of that bibie and the interpreter of its message to his own life. Protestantism has its creeds, its sacraments, its means of crace, its public teavhing and exposition of the word, but in its last court it leaves, as by all the force and logic of its position it must leavo the individual alone with God's word and the Spirit which inspired that word to settle all quostions of personal conscience and salvation. Mani- festly it would be an inconsistency for a church that concedes these fundamental priuciples to undertake to govern, by a sat of nursery rules, all of 1ta psople, irrespective of their conditions of age, mheritunce, envir- onment or education. Shades of Aristotle an’ Bacon !" shouted Sam. “If that cbunk of logic wouldn’t de- molish that terrible index expurgatorius it must be tremeinjus tuff. How easy he slips from Protestantism 1u goneral toa I’rotostant churci o particular. On ves, Protestantism concedes every foller’s right to think for hi self. an’ every Protostunt caurch concedes tho same thing, ard whea a feller has dono some thinkin’ an’ is ready to jine a church, Protestantism leaves him pevfectly free 1o go into the ono he likes best; an’ when Le gits into one, if ho finds that it don’t fill the bill accordin’ to his notions, why he is jist as free to go out as he was to go in. Protestantism don’t compel a feller to jine a church, nor it don’t compel him to stay in, but when he goes into a church, an’ while he stays there, Protestantism, an’ common sense, an’ old-fashioned honesty, awl unito in sayin’ that if he has got three- sevenths of a grain of true manhood in hls make-up he'll mind the rules of the particu- lar church he belongs to. An’ the idee that it is ‘un-Protestant’ to make rules in a church for the government of the conduct of its mombers is squarcly contradicted by awl Protestant history. The members ‘of the churches make the rules for their several churches, and after the rules is made every feller that jincs one of these churches voluntarily con- sents 10 be go.erned by the rules of the church he belongs to, and thatis awl the same as if he had helped to make them rules hisself. If a Protestact church baint got no right to make rules for the government of the couduct of its members, then what's the use in havi’ any rules at awll Whats rulés for anywayl If the general conference can’t put its foot ou some of the devil's most dangerus social institootions, an’ if it can’t be allowea to put up a fenco of *probibitive statutes’ to keep young an’ inexperienced lams an’ skit- tish old sheep from wanderin’ off into the dangerous swamps an’ junglos of sin whero they are liable any minit to fall into the traps of Satan or git ketched by somo of his bloodthirsty beasts of prey, then what is the general conference good for! It it mustn’t put suy thing into the Disciplino that relates 10 the conduct of its members, thea what may it put into iti” By tnis time Sam was onto his feat an’ a trarupin’ around purty hvely. *On, well,” he said, as he pulled out his jackknifo an’ begun to pare onc of his finger nales as he paused in front of the stove, reckon the right thing for tue gencral con- ference to do will be to fill up the Discipiine with some rulcs on how to pluy progrossive cuker, or git up home theatricals for the bon- efit of the babies that ain't vit stout enuff to digest the strong meat of the prayer meetin’. ‘Then if that ain’t enuff, it might yank that index expurgatorius out of the place where Dr. Curry an’ his honorea associates in the goneral conference of 1872 put it an’ substi- tute in 1ts sted some of the most approved rales for managin’ a hoss race! Guess it would be u good idee to tell our delegates dowu to Omaba to git that done right off at this geueral conferauco without fale.” “You don’t meandt, do you, Sami" said danner, in a tone of mingled astonishment and dismay. I knowed well enuff that he didn't, sol wenton agin with my readin' an’ Sam sot down and listened in sileaco till I reached this: “The legislation objected to is unworthy of the rank and mission of the Methodist Episcopal courch.” ere Sam giv a grunt and 1 knowed he wanted to gitin & word, but I went abeaa ll 1 read this: *'A church, tho bugle blasts of whose heralds are heard uround the world, ought not in this age to go to the natious with any petty legislation upon its statute books.’ “Potty legislation!” roared Sam as be gravbed a-holt of the poker an’ punched the | fire with tremenjus energy, “Potty logisla- tion ! he fairly thundored agin as he tossea the pokerinto the woodbox aud begun to march around like a officer in battle. So it is ‘potty legislation’ to make & law agin thea- ters, na’ balls, an’ cards, an’ circuses an’ hoss races i3 it IUis ‘unworchy of the rank and mision of the church’ to do that, but it ain’t uuworthy of tho ‘rank' an’ ‘mission’ of a wember of the church to trov off to the thea- ter fivo nights 1n u week or stay up a playin’ progressive euker, or danewn’ till 2 o'cloci 1n “he mornin’ if he kin only persuade hisseif that it ain’t no great harm! This is o great country, this 1s, with its declaration of inde- pendence, its corstitootion, its Buuker Hill monuwmont, its Yanky-doodle an’ its star spangled banuer; our, if 'm not mistaken, some of tho sta:es has made a law aw’ put 1t into their statute books that a feller that in- tentionally stools 8 turkey-buzzard has got to pay @ fine, an I have heard of a law in one: of the states that wouldu't atlow a fellar to ship a lousy steer o o mangy hoss in from Texus, or from any other plu Too baa that them states indulged 1o any such ‘petty legislation’ when they could have kep’ up their dignity a creat deal better by a wavin' the flag an’ whis'lin’ Yankeo Doodle. Yes, IUs too bad that Dr. Curry got that ‘index expurgatorius’ agin’ theaters &n' hoss races into the Disci- pline. Ho ought to hev kuowed tuat it would hev a ombarassin’ effeck on them hitoned *heralds’ that are a tootin’ the ‘bugle blasts’ in the fashionable Methoaist churches of the big cities, where, scvordin’ o that writer, some of the fock are ever- lastingly jumpin’ over them ‘lndex expurga- torius’ bars to git away an’ bav & good time, Yes, them same bars must be took down, I reckon, or some of thow bellewethors of the Brookiyn flock will hurt their constitutions a- Jumplo’ over 'em " Seein’ that Sam had come to a period I rod on tiil I struck the next objection, which is: *“This legisiation is to be objected to on the ground that no weneral conference fis wise enough to legisiate specifically for the overnment of individual Christian conduct.” went on through purty nigh two pages under this objection ~ in which the writer argys that nothln’ ort to 0 into the Discipline unless the huil general conference, big an’ little, preachers an’ lay- men, goes in for it. At least that's what [ made out of it, for he says in ono piace: ‘A statute, as to the wisdom of which equally wise and good men may be honestly diviaed in judement, is not one to be exalted to the place of a universal law.” ‘When I paused uw moment bafore reading L. next objection, Sam, who was settin’ down apin, blowed his nose an’ remarked: “Jt the Discipline was to be revised accordin’ to that fool mnotion it would make a hole in it big enuff to bury awl the religion of them theater goin’ Christians in, an’' then there would be room onuff for a dog or two on top. Any feller that's ever done any siraight thinkin’ on this line knows that some of the best laws that was evor enacted passed after a hard fite, by a bare majority.” Then I red the next objection : The em- bodiment of this legislation in our book of Discipline exposes the Methodist Episcopal church to a damaging popular aversion,” Sam giv & audiblo grunt at this an’ hitched his chair around a littlo as he crossed his legs, but he didn’t say nothin’ till T had ‘wuded through two more pages of talk under that head; but I noticed that while T was a-readin’ whore the foller says thut members of other churches make this Mothodist law the occasion of indiscrimiaate criticism, and sneer at us as bein’ agin awl amusements, an’ by this means git some of our converts away (rom us, he get riled up, Sam did, an’ when I quit ho said: “If thore's anything in awl creation that I despise with awl my soul its this continual whimperin’ by this class of D.D's. (Dandy Doubters) because something or other in tho Methodist church is unpopular! For the special benefit of some of them star preach- ers, the areat commission ort to be revised so 48 to read: ‘Goye into all the world an’ preach the gospel to every critter, but don’t #ay nothin’ thav'll make ye unpop’lar? " ‘When he subsided I begun an’ red on through tho article to the end without any other interruption, but a occasional grunt from Sum or a si from Hanner; an’ when I closed an’ laid the Review on the table, Han- ner heaved another si an’ paused in her knittin’ to say: . *‘Well, welll An’ so ho thinks the church kin g1t along without no bars! I wondor how he would manago to take care of the tock without 'em 1" “'Ob,” said Sam, as he leancd back in his chair an’ looked up at the ceiliu’, “Ob, that's easy enuff, He don’t want no bars, nor no fences to pertect the Methodist fold, but recommends that every spiritual shepherd shail git on his ecclesiastical hoss an’ turn bis flock out on to the theological an’ social range an’ herd 'om accordin’ to his own pe- culiar notions. If ho thinks the feed is poor down on the race track; or that the salt in the theatrical trough 18 mixed with strick- nine, or that the grass 1s short in the circus ring, why then he kin ride around lively an’ keep 'em away from them places. But if ho is one of them ‘liboral' shepherds that thinks that it won't hurt the young lams to gambol around the card table or hop about in the ballroom, pervided they don’t hav no ‘index expurgator:us’ bars to jump over, why then he kin let’em foller their own' sweet will an’they kin go tumblin® down into the burnin’ desert of perdition, or they kin round up in the beautiful medders of paradise, jist as it may happen '’ Then his face took on a more serious look, @n’ his veice was husky as he continued : “Even if we admat that it was a mistake to put that ‘index expurgatorius’ into the Disci- pline, which we don't, yet it would be a tnousand times wuss to take it out agin; for it has bin in there twenty years, an’ every body knows about it, an’ the very minit that the general conference takes it out,the wires will flash the news awl over the world, an’ the secular papers will print it in great big head lines an’ say: ‘Glorious victory over fanaticism! Liberalism to the front! The great Methodist Episcopal church endorses the theater! The general conference ex- punges the last vestige of puritanical legis- lation from 1ts Book of Discipline! Metho- dists in good standing may now play cards, dancoe and go to the theater under their own vine ana fig tree with none to molest them or make them Afraid! Theater-going Christians are jubi- lant! An’ then they’ll go on an’ tell all the particulars, an’ lavish praises on the fellers that carried it through an’ call the others a sot of hypocritical pretenders to superior sanctity, If that time ever comes it will be a cold day for Methodism. But I don’t be- lieve that the Methodist Episcopal church is ready to shake hands with the devil yit, an’ I hope that the great Methodist Review won’t have many more articles in 1t like that wishy-washy stuff we've bin talkin’ about. Ugh! I feel'kind o' sick at my stummick ! ‘Then he got up an’ after Hanner nad made bim a cup of glager tea he drunk it an’ went off to bed. ‘When he was gone Hanner putaway her knittin’ an’ said: “Now, Ortho, I want you to git up in the morning ‘an’ write a letter to the judge down thero to Omaha an’ tell him that we want him to stand up for the Disci- Enne as 1t is, on that pint, an’ teil him—tell 1m 1u big letters writ plain: Don’t lec the general conference tare down them bars!” So I bhav wrote.
