A., Dec. 20— (Special to Daily Democrat) —Research work by the use of the spade is quite tiresome, regardless of the material with which it is made, therefore you may try the ocular system and take your stand at or near the Chapel on the grounds of the Soldiers' Home at Marion, Indiana. You will not look long until you find the structure is not very large but is big enough to cover every religious denomination in the home. If you are serious minded the situation will bother you: you will not understand why our government does not divide these soldiers up Into their respective denominations and employ skilful teachers to instruct them in the art of throwing stones at each other. If you see that some of them are crippled and it would be a little brutal to make them sjand up and do battle in this way, conceive tlie idea that it would be perfectly humane to provide a suitable building for each denomination, equ.ping same with speaking tubes, connecting these tubes so that each denomination could shoot hot air at each other- thereby worshiping God according to, the dictates of their conscience and In harmony with their earlier training. One day an infidel who bad been properly catechised looked upon this Chapel and ridiculed the idea of a God that ho said did not exist. He was an inmate of the Home, an old man. and he said that during all his long life he had not discovered any evidence of such a God as the Christians portrayed in their heartless manner of living. Their contradictory methods of teaching and living was more than he could understand. His mind did not fathom the Christian idea of love as it was taught snd as It was practiced. You who wrap the drapery of your own Ignorance about yourselves and lie down to slumber amidst the carnage of the world, after kidding yourself to sleep by say ing “Ood is on his throne and all is well,” are not doing the cause of Christianity any good You should awake from your slumber and learn

w hut Christianity teaches. Tin* ! Christian who spends his lite in i [ building walls of prejudice, egotism, . hatred and self righteousness be ( tween the different denominations is a character that is more dancerotis t than the infidel. One of the most beautiful sightsi | ever seen In Decutur was suited at! the old Gym. when so many farternal orders, church denominations, and social organizations met under their ( respective banners and vied ’ with each other to show the wholesome spirit of the community, raised the moral tone of the town and made It! an Ideal place to locate the “City of Childhood" proposed Vy the Yeomen. You may not get the home but the I getting together was worth ten times the cost. After this Decatur looked different to more tjian one person. Next Sunday, December !3rd the, M. E.
