REPORT TO CONVENTION CONDEMNS “WET” PROPAGANDA
BAPTIST MEETING
DEMANDS UPRIGHT
POLITICAL LEADER
“No political party can ride to the
White House on a. beer keg," find
• to enact a law to authorize the sale
of 2.75 per cent beer would be' to
nullify the constitution, declared the
' sixteenth ..mu. rcjort of the com
mission of social service of the
Southern Baptist convention, which
was presented Saturday evening at
tlie session in the auditorium.
The report covered a diversity of
subjects affecting the welfare of the
nation, conde .ning “graft in high
, places,” declaring that law enforce
, ment must be determined by the
will of the people, demanding “good,
<-..ah, strong "un” as presidential
nominees, and commending congress
for passage of the immigration bill,
although deploring the Japanese at
titude.
The report also protested against
the use of the mails for the dis
s' -tribution of cheap novels, popular
fiction magazines and publications of
similar character, “containing sto
ries and pictures of a highly sugges
tive and moral character, '* which, it
declared, are flooding the country,
and it asked for a stricter observ
ance of th© Sabbath.
The report follows in full:,
"The year has been one of con
tinued unrest and uncertainty in
ptfblic affairs, both in our own coun
try and in other countries. We are
still living in conditions and dealing
with results entailed upon us by the
World war. It remains yet to be
seen when the social, economic and
political chaos brought on by the
war shall be entirely overcome and
good order and tranquillity restored,
for surely not even the wisest can
foretell this happy event. And yet
we are glad to observe brightening
skies on many parts of the horizon.
“Day Dawn in Europe— The first
unmistakable gleams of hope for the
adjustment of Europe’s vexing ques
tions, since the framing of the Ver
sailles treaty, have appeared. It is
- the source of just pride to us that
three eminent Americans have been
instrumental in bringing these
gleams. The report of the Dawes
commission of experts on the ability
of Germany to make reparation for
the havoc which she wrought in
the war and to suggest a plan of
payment brings the first real hope
of settlement of the question, with
out the settlement of which the in
dustry and commerce of the world
- are blocked and the peace of the
world constantly menaced. From
all the governments concerned have
come virtual acceptance of the terms
.on settlement recommended, and dis
patches indicate that the recent elec
tion in Germany was favorable.
With this question settled we can
not but hope that better feelings
and more, amicable relations may
be established among all of the
countries of Europe and the peace
of the world promoted.
“American Stewardship— lt is re
quired of a steward that in all things
he be found faithful. America is a
steward. Our country is now the
big brother in the family of nations.
It may be gravely questioned wheth
er America has not been defaulting
in stewardship. The nations of the
earth still trust us in spite of graft)
in high places, trust us in spite of
our faliures and lapses in the world's
crisis hour. The successful effort
of the Dawes commission indicates
. how much we might have done to
untangle the skein of world affairs
if only we had not for a season
lost the ideal of service and sunken
into the. pit of sodden selfishness.
We call upon our prseident and the
congress: we call upon every citizen
of the republic, to find some way by
which the LnitetS States may regain
the position of mora.l leadership and
service which they occupied at the
close of the war, in order that the
open sore may be healed.
“The World Court— Undoubtedly
one method in doing this would be
found in associating our government
with the world court. This interna
tional tribunal has been founded
and is functioning in perfect har
mony with one of the most sacred
and most fundamental principles of
our government, namely, the settle
ment of all international disputes,
v as far as possible, by peace
wful and judimial means and meth
>fds and not by war. For our
government longer to refuse to
approve the world court would be
to continue to deny and repudiate
this sacred principle as applied to
our relation to 'Other governments.
, We congratulate President Coolidge
' that, like his distinguished prede
cessor, the late President Harding,
he approves the world court and
recommends our becoming associat
ed with it. We appeal the sen
ate' of the United States to join with
the president in this urgently im
portant matter and to let. the soul
of America be seen and known and
felt by the other nations as it really
is. For us to do otherwise would
be to bring upon our heads the just
censure of the nations and of the
God of nations.
A Look at Ourselves— While wo
may well bo concerned about world
conditions and may well call our
.selves to a full recognition of oitr
-stewardship in relation thereto, we
‘tnust be candid with ourselves and
recognize that we have conditions
within our own borders that, fill u.,
or ought to fill us, with a deep sense
of shame and humiliation. As seri
ous minded citizens and patriots, we
must set our own house in order.
“Graft in High Places— Among
these humiliating conditions is graft
and corruption in high places by
which men in exalted position have
prostituted public office ind public
trust to private gain. It would be
impossible for any one to say just
how much truth there is in all the
countless rumors and bits of gossip
with which the air of our national
capitol has I n filled, or just how
much of incontestable fact has been
revealed k-’ the sundry nvestigations
of congressional committees and how
much lies in the background that
might bo revealed by further investi
gation. But of one thing we are
certain:
"Public confidence ha s been be-

trayed and public trust has been
bartered.
“As a nation professing integrity
end high ideals i,n public affairs, we
have been scandalized before the
world. We call upon the president,
upon the congress, upon the courts
of justice and upon the' people, to
see to it that every unworthy pub
lic official is put out and that every
position of public trust is filled by
an honest and capable citizen.
Thieves and criminals must not dwell
in the house of state. We are not
to lose' confidence in all public men
and officials because of the treach
ery of the few. A great majority
of our public servants are good and
honest men; a great majority of our
people are honest. Forth swe may
thank God and take courage and
we must see to it that in every
case, as far as it is humanly possi
ble, that the bad are put out and
punished and that the good and
true are put in positions of power.
“Law Enforcement— The fight lot;
law enforcement goes forward. A
battle is lost here and there, but we
are glad to believe that taking into
account the whole battle front there
is gain. Law-defying, man-hating,
God-dishonoring crime js abroad in
every part of the land. Automobile
thefts, thousands in a single year, in
a single city; arson, murder, viola
tion of prohibition laws, these and
countless other crimes drag their sin
uous and slimy lengths across the
face of our fair land. The laws must
be enforced; criminals must be pun
ished; the criminally inclined must
be deterred from crime. In the last
analysis, in America, enforcement of
law must result from the assertion
of the will of the people that it shall
be so. This will must assert itself in
an orderly way but it must assert
itself.
“It rests with us whether our laws
shall be enforced and our homes, our
lives and our property protected.
Let the officers do their duty and
let them have the united and hearty
support of all citizens.
“If officers fail, let citizens see to
their removal from office and replac
ing of these with good and responsi
ble men in office.
‘Wn Absurd Contention— With all
law violation and crime cited above,
and with much more that might be
cited, only in one instance do we
hear men contending that the crime
rests with the law and not with the
lawbreaker.
“It is an old trick of Satan to
contend that the law is unwise and
unjust so as to incite men to Its
violation and to excuse the violator.
The eighteenth amendment to tie
Constitution of the United States and
laws enacted for its enforcement has
proved to be the greatest, blessing
that this country has ever derived
or ever could derive from statutes.
Despite this well-known fact, there
are men, som© of them occupying
responsible positions, who charge
that the whole thing has been an
utter failure; that the law has made
the criminal and that the law should
be repealed, or so modified as to nul
lify the Constitution.
“We recently have had the sorry
spectacle of the president of a great
university's going afield and running
amuck with that sort of talk. How
are the mighty fallen! We give it
as our sober judgment that such a
man is an unsafe and unworthy ex
emplar and leader of the youth of
America, both in the universities and
colleges and out.
“Many bills have been Introduced
in the house of representatives pro
viding for the authorization of the
manufacture and sale of beer con
taining 2.75 per cent of alcohol. This
is the strategy of the ‘wets.’ who
hope by the number of bills to im
press the public and to make the
impression that there is a great tid
al wave of sentiment sweeping over
the country for the repeal of the na.
tional enforcement code, popularly
known as the Volstead law. These
bills are before the committee on the
judiciary. We hope and believe that
not one of them will ©ver get out of
you nave always bought bears sig
nature of

(Advertisement J
the committee, much less be passed
by the house.
“To enact a law to authorize the
sale of 2.75 per cent beer would be
to nullify the Constitution. Those
clamoring for this legislation say
that 2.75 per cent beer is not intoxi
cating. If they do not want intoxi
cating liquor they ought to be con
tent with the present standard of
admitted beverages, namely, one-half
of one per cent. If they want in
toxicating liquor, which, of course,
they do, they can secure sam e onlv
by repealing our eighteenth amend
ment. The eighteenth amendment
will never b e repealed. Nor will any
law enacted for its enforcement be
modified in any essential feature ex
cept as it may need to be made more
stringent for its effective enforce
ment. On these two points the Amer,
lean people have mad© up their
minds.
“Let that word be passed out the
country over. But to maintain this
amendment and these Taws and to
perpetuate their unspeakable bless
ings to our children and our chil
dren’s children, will require constant
vigilance and much determined ef
•fort.
“Child Labor Legislation—Un
doubtedly one of the evils of our
present day social order is the em
ployment of increasing numbers of
children of tender years in field and
factory for the performance of such
labor as robs them of their right to
secure* an education and equipment
for life and In many instances un
der such conditions to undermine
their health and morals. We speak
of the children who work for wages,
not those whose employment is di
rected by parents or guardians.
“This evil must be abated.
“Many of the states have no laws
on the subject. The child labor laws
heretofore enacted by congress have
Been held unconstitutional and
therefore made inoperative.
“The house of representatives has
passed a resolution proposing an
amendment to (he constitution of the
United States enabling congress to
legislate upon this subject we beg
to remind the states of their imme
diate and great responsibility in this
important matter.
“Presidential Years— We are now
in the midst of a presidential year.
We are all thinking about who will
be the presidential nominees put for
ward by the political parties and who
will be elected president. With par
tisan policies your commission, or
the convention, may concern it
self. But with the broad non-parti
san aspects of this important matter
we may well be concerned.
Some very unworthy men are aspir
ing to the presidency and have had
much publicity in the press as pos
sible nominees.
“All political parties, if they would
seek their own and the country's
good, will have to be discreet in their
choice of candidates.
“Os one thing we may be sure and
may assure them, no political party
can ride to the White House on a
beer keg. Southern Baptists will not
support for president any man who
is wet, or about whose Americanism
there can be any Question.
“Let us nominate good, clean,
strong men about whom there can
be no question and then let us see
to it that such men are elected to
office and let this rule apply all the
way from president to constable.
“Immigration— lmmigration is one
of the acute problems of our govern
ment and people. The ’melting pot’
has ceased to ’melt’ and almost be
fore we were aware of it, our Ameri
can ideals and institutions were men
aced by the floods of aliens that
poured in upon our shores during
the two or three decades just passed
and proved to be unable to be assimi
lated. The results might have been
different if American Christians had
been more faithful in obeying the
commands of our Lord.
“We may well admit our shortcom
ings. But with that phase of the
matter the government cannot deal.
The government js» under obligation
to deal with the question of immi
gration as it affects the government
and people as a whole. We com
mend congress for the passage of the
immigration bill which will greatly
reduce the number of aliens admitted
to our shores and will admit a la-g
--er percentage of the better class
from the more enlightened and ad
vanced nations of northern Europe
and a smaller percentage of the tow
er class from the less enlightened
and and less advanced nations of
son ern Europe.
“Japanese Immigration— lt is to be
regretted that out of this legislation
friction with the Japanese govern
ment and our people has come.
“We commend President Coolidge
and Secretary of Stat© Hughes for
their efforts to find a solution of
this problem that will preserve thf
> authority and dignity of our govern
ment and at the same time not of
fend the sensibilities of the Japanese
people.
“The long-time friendship betw-een
our government and that of Japan
must not be broken if it can be pre
served and the way of our mission
ary enterprise in Japan must not bo
barred, as we carry the gospel to
Japan, if it can possibly be avoided.
“We hope that the department of
state may find a solution of the
problem and we pray that the Lord
may give them wisdom to that end.
“Boy Scouts of America— By the
adoption of the report of your com
mission last year, you approved the
ißoy Scout movement. We recom
mend that you authorize the commis
sion to represent the convention in
relation to the movement and to ad
vise with the authorities of the Boy
Scouts of America.
“Sabbath Observance — We must
place frequent and persistent empha
Sis upon the Christian Sabbath and
its proper observance by our people.
“The Lord’s Day alliance is a na
tional organization having as its pur
pose the enlistment of all Christian
forces to this end. Auxiliary organ
izations are being formed in the sev
eral states. We recommend that our
people give support and co operation
to this work, being careful to do so
always upon such basis as will pre
i serve our Baptist traditions and prin
i ciples of the autonomy and independ
ence of our churches and work.
' Literature— Whereas, this country
! is now being flooded with literature,
; in the form of cheap novels, popular
I fiction magazines and publications
of similar character, containing
stories and pictures of a highly sug
gestive and immoral character, and
which seem calculated to corrupt
the morals especially of the youth
I of our country.
, “Therefore, we recommend that
the convention’s commission on so
jcial service be especially instructed
(to study the popular < literature now
( being sold in the country;
“And that said commission be au
• thorized to protest in the name of
(the convention against the use of
i the mails for the distribution of such
I immoral literature, and to take such
; other action as their findings war
j rant, should their investigations lead
i them to conclude that literature of
: an unlawful character is being cir
culated.
“Citizen Training Camps,—We rec
( ommend that this convention re
spectfully and earnestly suggest to
iour national administration and to
(the department of war, in particular,
I that in connection with its annual
citizen training camps it provide for
(addresses and instruction on inter
' national relations calculated to pro
-1 mote intelligent and sympathetic un
derstanding and the spirit of friend
ships towards all the peoples of the
, world.
"Co-operative Bodies.—The Anti-
Saloon league of America and the
(Woman’s Christian Temperance
'union are the two great nation-wide
bodies through which our people
have co-operated for the bringing
(about of national prohibition and oth
er needed reforms. Your commission
(recommends that we continue to give
to these two great •-’■••nizatious our
sympathy and support.
“Financial— The free-will hat col
lection at Kansas City last year,
i which was taken to defray Mr. Bry
j an's expenses and to show our ap
( preciation of his visit, resulted in
( $435.23. Mr. Bryan's expenses and
|a suitable honorarium amounted to
$121.50. leaving on hand $313.43.
: “Owing to the fact that the ex
penses of the chairman to and from
j the several national meetings which
I he has attended throughout the year
i have been borne by the executive
1 committee of the Anti-Saloon league.
'of which he is a member, this
i amount has not had to be drawn
( upon, but it will be needed in the
i year to come both for traveling ex
i penses and for promoting our cause.
“The Future— More than once
your commission has called the at-
I tention of the convention to the fact
that we have made no adequate pro
vision for our social service work.
; “Better than anybody else, tie be
lieve Baptists understand the doc-,
( trine of "a free church in a free

BAPTISTS’ FUNDAMENTALIST
DOCTRINE, AS VOTED IN 1923
Statement of Dr, Mullins, as
Indorsed by Convention in
Kansas City Last Year, Is
Reprinted
The frequent recurrence at the
session of the Southern Baptist con
vention of references to the funda
mentalist-modernist controversy, and
the final action of the convention
in declining to adopt resolutions at
tempting to outline Baptist faith
and doctrine, on the ground that
such a statement was made last
year at the Kansas City meeting,
adds interest to the text of that
statement.
The outline of Baptist doctrine
and belief was enunciated at Kansas
City in 1923 by Dr. E. Y. Mullins,
of Louisville, Ky., at that time presi
dent of the convention, and his state
ment was given official indorsement
by the body.
Statement in Full
The statement was as follows:
“1. We recognize the greatness
and value of the service which mod
ern science is rendering to the
cause of truth in uncovering the
facts of the natural world. We be
lie 'e that loyalty to fact is a com
mon ground of genuine science and
the Christian religion. We have no
interest or desire in covering up
any fact in any realm of research.
But we do protest against cer
tain unwarranted procedures on the
part of some so-called scientists,
first, in making discoveries or al
leged discoveries in physical/ nature
a convenient weapon of attack upon
the facts of religion; second, using
the particular sciences, such as
psychology, biology, geology and va
.. rious others as if they necessarily
contained knowledge pertaining to
the realm of the Christian religion,
setting aside the supernatural; third,
teaching as facts what are merely
hypotheses. The evolution doctrine
has long been a working hypothesis
. of science, and will probably con
tinue to be because of its apparent
simplicity in explaining the uni
verse. But its best exponents freely
admit that the causes of the origin
of species have not been traced. Nor
has any proof been forthcoming that
man is not the direct creation of
God as recorded in Genesis. We pro
, test against the imposition of this
theory upon the minds of our chil
dren in denominational or public
schools as if it were a definite and
established truth or science. We in
sist that this and all other theories
be dealt with in a truly scientific
way, that is, in careful conformity
to established facts.
Faith Reaffirmed
“2. We record again our unwaver
ing adherence to the supernatural
elements in the Christian religion.
The Bible is God’s revelation of Him
self through man moved by the Holy
Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain
and authoritative guide in religion.

Jesus Christ was bom of the Virgin
Mar.’,’' through the power of the Heir
Spirit. He was the Divine and eter
nal Son of God. He wrought mira
cles, healing the sick, casting out
demons, raising the dead. He died as
the vicarious atoning Saviour of
world and was buried. He arose
again from the dead. The tomb was
emptied of its contents. In His risen
body He appeared many times to
His disciples. He ascended to the
right hand of the Father. He will
come again in person, the same
Jesus who ascended from the Mount
of Olives.
“3. We believe that adherence x »
the above truths and facts is a neces--
sary conditiqh of service for teachers
in our Baptist schools. These facts
of Christianity in no way conflict
with any fact in science. We do not
sit in judgment upon the scientific
views of teachers of science. We
grant them the same freedom pf
research in their realm that we claim
for ourselves in the religious realm.
But we' do insist upon a positive
content of faith in accordance with
the preceding statements as a quali
fication for acceptable service in
Baptists schools. The supreme, is
sue today is between naturalism
and super-naturalism. We stand un
alterably for the supernatural in
Christianity. Teachers in our schools
should be careful to free themselves
from any suspicion of disloyaltj’’ on
this point. In the present period of
agitation and 'unrest they are ob
ligated to make their positions clear.
We pledge our support to all schools '
and teachers who are thus loyftl to
the facts of Christianity as revealed
in the Scripture.” .

NEW DISCOVERY
BANISHES LICE
Simply Hang Can of Wonderful
Liquid in Hen House and Lice Vanish*
Any poultry raiser ran easily an 4
quickly double his profits hy ridding his
hen bouse of lice through the remark
able discovery of M. B. Smith, a Kansas
City chemist.
Working along
original lines Mr.
Smith discovered
that certain odora
are highly offensive
to lice and that
they will not live
where such odora
exist. This en
abled him to per
fect his formula
which is guaran
teed to rid any r .ien
house of t h 4 s e
blood sucking and
profit stealing
pests.
This wonderful
formula which is
kno w n as Lice
Doom Is easily used
by simply uncork
ing a can and
hanging at any con-
I - Kx
venient place In the hen house. Immedi
ately a powerful gas is given off which,
although harmless to poultry, routs the
lice as though by magic. In .fact It fa
guaranteed that lice will not stay In any
hen house where a can of Lice Doom
is hung up to evaporate.
Once rid from pestering lire and mites
your flock will take on new life. The
hens will lay more and the broilers will
get fatter. In fact you can almost see
your profits grow
So confident Is Mr. Smith that Lire
Doorn will rid any hen house of lire that
he offers to send two large $1 rans W>
any reader who will write for them fi'-
only $1: and with the understanding tha»-
they cost nothing if not entirely satis
factory.
Send No Money—Just your name—a card
will do, to M. B. Smith, 518 Coca Cola
Bldg , Kansas City, Mo., and the two
large $1 cans will be mailed immediately.
When they arrive, pay the postman only
$1 and postage. Use Lice Doom <0 days.
If your hen house is not free from lice,
or for any reason you are not satisfied,
simply return the unused part and your
money will be refunded. A large bank
of Kansas City says Mr. Smith does as
he agrees, and ample bank deposits guar
antee the refund of your money if you
are not satisfied. Write today before the
offer to send two $1 cans for only $1 is
withdrawn, as this will enable you to sell
a esn to a friend and get your own free.
