nearly all of the officers of the Meth
odist church at Aurora' have Bigned
a petition asking for the return of
J. D. M. Buckner as pastor next year,
the latter has asked his friends to
refrain from pressing the matter for
fear that it will raise" a false Issue
between himself and C. E. Goman,
the present pastor. Dr. Buckner says
that the issue now is between the
Aurora church and Bishop Stuntz and
he proposes that it be fought out on
that issue if it takes several summers.
Before a large crowd at the union
meeting of all the churches on the
courthouse lawn Sunday night, Dr.
Buckner reiterated his belief in a
progressive Christianity. He spoke
on the subject, "How Does God Save
Men?" In his address he denied that
confession or baptism or any of the
ordinary forms for gaining entrance
to churches have saving qualities.
A saving of a man, he said, con
sists in making a good man out of
him, and God is always working and
co-operating with men and for men to
make them good. He said that the
saving of men takes much time. He
announced that he had no belief In
the instant conversion being of sav
ing power. A conversion, he said,
whereby aman turns about and from
his evil habits and starts toward a
better life is but a beginning in the
saving of that man, according to Dr.
Buckner. Before he is saved, he
must work with God in making his
life a good and acceptable life, and
is only saved when he has become a
good man.
