ROASTS THE MODERN CHURCH Evangelist Preacher Cholr Are Intended Only for Amusement, ner an DETROIT, Sept. 27.—The convention of the Disciples of the Lord was opened today. The day was dnvo‘;d to religlous exercises and the principal speaker was Fvangelist John Smith of Cleveland, who claims he is called to preach the gospel of Christ by God Himself. He made a bitter attack on all forms of worldly amusement, Which he characterised as being the works of the devil. In his opinion it is for worldly amusement only that the majority of people attend. church. The church of today is nothing more than a circuit of the theater, he declared, while the choirs who sing the beautiful and sacred hymns in many cases are going straight to perdition. They are paid large salarfes to stand up and prosti- tute the music of God. Preaching with most of the high priced ministers, he con- tinued, s only a base proposition, as they are hired for the amusement they can give to thelr congregations. Real Christianity has gone glimmering, he sald, and the form of worship in many of the churches is but wu hollow mockery. | deavors | the suspension | and Cartagena | today MAKES LONG TRIP IN BALLOON Fremchman % iy s from Paris to Vie of Hall, Es nd.
