"Small Item Minds"
Panned By Bishop
At Ministers7 Meet
Homer C. Stuntz Fires, Hot
Sfiot at "Antediluvian Pro
fessors In Theological
Seminaries.
- "Antediluvian professors in theol
'.. , epical seminaries" and "men with
small item i minds" were scorned by
Bishop Homer Stuntz of the. Meth
odist diorese of Omaha in an ad
. dress to the Omaha Ministerial. un
i6n in the V. M. C. A. building yes
terday. j "No professor of theology should
be allowed to occupy a chair in a
-' seminary more than 10 years," de
clared the bishop. "I had some of
my own theological training under
some antediluvian teachers good
men, pious men, men who went to
heaven, but men in a rut.
"There are men with 'small item'
minds and men with 'total winds;
men whose minds just go round and
'round in eddies and men whose
minds progress like a stream There
are too many of the 'eddy' minds
minds that rfr-n't take a broad view
of world affair's.
Must Be Capable.
"We recently heard much in favor
of self-determination ol small na
tions. I tell you that self-determi
nation is not an inherent right of
rations. No nation has a right to
determine anything for itself until
it has proved that it is capable i
, self-governing so as not to interfere
. with the safety or progress of the
world. No person should be per
mitted to drive an automobile until
lie has'proved himself able to drive
it without endangering the other
motorists or Bedesmans."
, The bishop, drawing front his wide
travels in Agrica, Indian and China,
declared that Christianity has made
m asiounamg serines.
, -; Not Worth Cent.
. "Within 75 years," he said, "India
will be so Christianized that it will
not be necessary to send missionaries
there. The church will move tor
' ward by its own momentum." -,
Speaking of long, prayers, he said:
''I heard a preacher make an open
ing prayer 22 minutes ; long in a
service recently. Reminded me of
the 'prayer rates' posted by priests
- int Buddhist temples, in Japan.-. I
- think this preacher made one, priced
at about 8 yen. ' But I don't think it
was worth a cent" ,, (;
Christianity Progressing.
Bishop Stuntz declared 'Christian
ity the only ; propagandist religion
making progress today. Moham
. mcdism, the only other religion
which tries to get converts,-is fall
ing back because it is founded on ig
norance and seeks converts by force,
'.he" said,
- "Ia spite or their great, university
at Cairo, with 10,000 students, there
is no danger of the Mohammedans
converting the continent of.Africa,"
he said. ".Christianity with SO dif
ferent organizations is making much
more rapid progress in Africa than
is Mohammedism with its vast force
of ignorant workers." 1 i' .

to one of sadness.
