THE ALLIANCE - INDEPENDENT. Another Parson's View. I was favorably impressed with the "Par on's" artic'e in your last week's issue.- Parson sets forth clearly the bad-rock principles that. underlie true prosperity and human happiness. It is the great Christ doctrine of tho father hood of God and tho brotherhood of man. I mean man in the broadest sense of tho term, not bounded by geographi cal lines. After thirty-five years of churcV lifo (with dec'p regret I make the state ment) I am fully convinced that there is a i as t difference between the preach ers' Christ and humanity needs, and the preachers that are in demand in tho leading denominations at the preset t day. I say it without apology or fear of c mtradition, that the leading churches of our times are r.othiag more than g feat close corpar.it ions dominated by by the moneyed p r.ver and in league with hell. Let any oa ? answer the fol lowing qustions: 1st. What class f men occupy tho uppermost seat j in tho synagogues of our leading cities? 21. In what regal stylo do the men live that have the management of all our great denominational boards?, 3d. Cn any of the rank and file of the humble subscribers tell from the reports they publish,, what salaries they appropriate to themselves? 4 tli. What bjomos of the "parson" who ' dares lo oppose tyranny and op pression and to fearlessly preach the truoChrst doctrine? Why, ho soon gets a taste cf that brotherly love that t macks more of satan than of Christ. Talk about reaching the masses! It is . all humbug. Under the pres?nt regime it is attempting tho impossi ble. It is true that tho church was never so well represented by charitable institutions as at the present day. She exhausts the English langauge for names. But charity in that sense is not what able bodied, honest men want. All they a-k i justice. When the modern church comes down to primi tive Christianity, and depends more on the true Christ doctrine and Holy Ghost power, and less on social rank and big subscriptions from ill-gotten wealth, then may she expect to fi 1 her mission in reaching the masses, and lifting earth a little nearer heaven. A Frontier Parson. Kearney County Independents. M IN den, Aug. 13, 1892. Kearney county independents met today in county convention and re-nominated Hon.
