BROOKLYN clergy conve tianity in ten years only. give or raise one-hundred millions,” Just how he proposes to do this “the cler] yman does not explain. Every year the .people of -the United States contribute .more than $100,000,000 to. pay the sal- aries of clergymen and the main- tenance of churches. They have been doing this year after. year without any appreciable change in the conversion of the rest of the world: _ It cannot bg that the money of a “multi-millionaire” would have an especial virtue, , though is likely that i if the methods of “captains of industry” were applied to religion the results would show more. For one thing, the same people go to church year after year and the same people stay away. The benefits of preaching are received by con- gregations which have already been benefited, and the other people whose conversion is sought are not reached because they do not go to church. x ‘A captain of industry would not keep working on the same material over and over again. An insurance solicitor when he has captured one Policy-holder drops that man to go and get somebody else. A modern ‘organizer in the pulpit, as soon as he had one congregation converted and leading Christian lives, would utilize the church and religious organization to get-new irreligious persons and turn“them to godliness, It is doubtful that money can make men godly. Most millionaires think that they are Christians. One of the first steps in the real convér- sion of the world would be to open their eyes, to turn their hearts from iniquity and to make them practise the teachings of Christ. * The vestrymen of Trinity un- _@oubtedly believe they are* Chris- tians, yet Trinity is one of the worst landlords in New York. J. P. Mor- gan regularly goes as a delegate to church conventions, yet look at the trusts he has organized. John D. Rockefeller is a life-long contributor to-foreign missions for the conver- sion of Zulus,-@hinese and other heathens, but that does not Teduice “=the price-of-ktrosene. eee These men should be converted first. If they set the example of living up to the teachings of Christianity their tives would Nave More effect than thelr checks, There are many real Christians, but the preachers keep on hammer- ing at them instead of the unregenerate. Not the righteous, but the sinners, should be cafled on for repentanc How absurd it is to assert that money can buy converts, Money has always been a weakness to a church, not a strength. The greatest work of all churches has been under persecution and oppressign, The soul of man longs most for higher things when his body is not overfed and his purse is not bulging.
