tional convention of tho "Disciples of
tho Lord" opened horo yostorday aftor
noon. Tho day was dovoted to re
ligious services and tho principal
speaker was Evangelist John Smith, of
Cleveland, who claims ho is called to
preach tho gospel of Christ by God
Himself. Ho inado a bitter attack on
all forms of worldly amusement, which
ho characterized as being the works of
tho dflvil. In his opinion it is for
worldly amusement only that tho ma
jority of people attend church. Tho
church of to-day Is nothing moro than
a circuit of tho theater, he declared,
while tho choirs who sing tho beautiful
and sacred hymns in many cases are
going straight to perdition. They are
paid largo salaries to stand up and
prostituto tho music of God. Preach
ing with most of tho high-priced min
isters, ho continued, is only a business
proposition, as thoy are hired for tho
amusement thoy can give their con
gregations. Real Christianity has
gone gllmmorlng, ho said, and the form
of worship in many of tho churches
i3 but a hollow mockery.
