Seminary Meeting.
When it was posted that such a man as Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, was to address the Seminary a large attendance was assured. On account of the change in the time of the Santa Fe plug Mr. Sheldon was compelled to read his paper quite rapidly and to leave before the discussion which always follows the reading of papers.
The subject of "Is Our Civiliza- tion Christian?" was discussed by Mr. Sheldon in a most instructive and interesting manner.
In the course of his remarks he said: It is with a truly sincere and almost anxious attempt to place some needs of our civilization in a clear and simple light that this paper has been prepared. To the question, "Is our Civilization Christian" three tests will be applied. The social, the political and the religious. Take the first test. Every Sunday paper all through the year contains in its society columns account after account of the entertainments among the rich, but if one of the same society ladies should give a supper to the children of an orphan asylum it would create a society sensation. Look into the host of most any church member in America. There are pleasant social gatherings between relatives and friends. Members of the same church are invited to dine and the compliment returned and, over the coffee, church work has been discussed and nobody harmed by wine drinking or gambling. Yet if you were to try to find a christian home where the poor neighbor, or the unfortunate, or the one who could not make a feast was invited into that home you would have to search a long time before you would find such a one. The fact is, society almost universally, and the christian home with a few exceptions, closes it doors pretty carefully to all but its own kind of people. The unfortunate are not made welcome. It is not enough that we establish refuges and homes, and asylums, and retreats. It may be civilization, but it is not Christianity Civilized society as it is commonly understood, has found its greatest energies spent in four directions;
entertaining those who will give again, playing cards, dancing, and attending the play. Much might be said concerning the aspect of the home life in civilization. There is scarcely a civilized home in a city consisting of father, mother and grown up boys and girls where you can find the family all together one night in a week. Society has absorbed the home and this is not Christian.
As to the political test. The one great aim of human government is the righteousness, prosperity and happiness of all the people. In great political campaigns mens'votes are sought and their passions or prejudices aroused by arguments directed to the pocket book. Nothing is said about right. Plenty of good men who are church members believe there is no such thing as mixing politics and religion. And our government cannot be claimed to be truly Christian in its purposes and the machinery of administration.
It was the plain law of Christ that, religiously, all his disciples should be united in the common work of redeeming mankind. Yet at no time were there ever as many sects as now. Today the churches compete with one another for patronage. In every town there are always many more than can be supported and I believe Christ would denounce the sectarianism and denominationalism of our generation as non Christian and unchristian in spirit and in practice.
In spite of optimism and the longing, conviction will not down at empty bidding of it, and looking gravely though hopefully out we are compelled to say with reluctant sadness. 'No, our civilization' is not christian—no—not yet.
Glee and Banjo Club...Second Annual Tour.
The Glee and Banjo club will start on its second annual tour next Tuesday, making Emporia the first date. The program is a great improvement over that of last year. Prof. Dome will render two numbers on his Guarneius. Mr. Young of Kansas City, will assist Prof. Saunders on the banjo, and the quartette will render some highly creditable selections, besides the regular glee and banjo music. A special program is in preparation for a sacred concert to be given in Denver on Christmas. The same concert will probably be repeated at Fort Riley on New Year's day for the benefit of the nation's defenders. In Topeka a crowded house is assured as the club plays in the Grand opera house under the auspices of the State Teachers Association. The tour will be of great good in advertising the University.
