VOLUME 23. „■ AS IT SEEMS TOME DANA SLEETH IUNDAY afternoon I was I rooting around and thru ImU a lot of old book*. and t Dflj chanced on a little faded TOlumf called • Fletch er'* Appeal," which Homo of the ministers may remember. fop Fletcher waa one of the stalwart orator* and ar*tifler* of ancl*tit orthodoxy, and never was there a better when It came to proving the innate cuswednesa and sinful «*tate of man. Tucked away In the hook. 1 found two old Confederate bllla. marking a passage. and I au«pect that grandmother put this book Mtde and parted from Mr. Fletcher and his particular brand of pious belief 'way back In '*3 tJrand Mother had a streak of feminism in her, and I suspect th»t ah« con eluded that Mr. Fletcher «u a> bogus aa the pseudomoney. Prob ably the bill* were sent her by some of her boys, or by grjindf.i ther, for the women folk* were alt that were left at home in ti In our family. 1 read what Mr. Fletcher had to aay in the marked passage. May be you will get a chuckle out of it. tho, doubtless, the icrlm aoul of Flrtafcer would shudder could It know that this passage excited lev ity in a later generation. nnf V B herself waa not fWj created but In &4am Cod breathed no brealb of life lnt<» her. He did- lnv> her hushand. to make him a living aoul. Therefore, when Adam saw her. fc« aald, '3he ahAll be called woman,* because she, her whole •etf. not her body only. »as taken out of man. If. then, the aoul of e first woman sprang from Ad l soul, as her body from his fcody. what reason have we to be Here that the soul* of her poster Ity are lmm»d ately Infused, aa Adam's was. when God created him- Fletcher la here arguing for the fallen, depraved state of man. and ta "proving" that humanity, com ing from Kve. !» not "born in (trace." but is rather conceived in Iniquity, and that Adam only, and he only until the fall, was made In God's image and had a genuine Im mortal soul. This was good Church of Eng land doctria* a hundred year* ago. or 50 year* ago, but T think that when grandma hit on till*. she gen tly cloned the little brown book, tucked the two pseudo-bill* in neat !y. and put both falsities away for ever. gnN KDfCATION, civics. I acknee, sanitation. med mm Iclna, Invention and {P housing we have pro ceded a long way aln< e grandm t closed the lid* tight on Rev Fletcher and left him wrap ped in hi* false Ideaa and falae currency, but we have gone further in the matter of our creed, of our belief, of our rellglou* fundamen tal*. than we have in anything el*e. Fletcher would not be happy in any civillied pulpit today. We have been laying stroa* on the love text* and lea* on those of eternal damnation; and we remember that even if Adam fell, we are *ti!l ere. ated In Hl* image, and made but a "little lower than the angela." Probably the most astounded, the mont grieved and the most sorrowful soul In the universe would be the soul of the merciful Christ, could It see. thru the dark ag'S of blind, *ta*gering. bigoted, creed bound and church choked hu manity. what fiaa been preached aa XJhrlgtianlty.
