The Second Days Session Occupied by Dis
ni,scinr oil

-N~N~N-S~f
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Rev. Reese F.
Alsop of Brooklyn, n. Y, opened the sec
ond days proceedings of the Protestant
Episcopal Church Congress with an address
on socialism. He pointed out the differ
ences between the most noted advocates of
soclalistic theories, urged adhesion to the
present system OF social economics, holding
that II labor forced change 1t might kill
the goose and lose the golden eggs" He
did not be lieve the present condition was as
bad as made out Thrift and enterprise
rarely failed to reap profts. 1t was not true
that the rich were getting richer and the
poor getting poorer. The labOrer to-day
enjoyed luXuries not dreamed of hundred
years ago. There were abuses under the
present system of wealth distribution, such
as vast mOnopOlieS and trusts, that led to
| illegitimate profits, but they were the dis
Rses TO be eradicated while the body need
! cot be destroyed.
Professor Gould of Philadelphia said the Sc
| rious evil OF the socialistic system was the
| destruction Of individuality. The pulpit
should condemn constantly the moral evil
| OF the present system and we should be
| taught to live in a state of freedom accord
| Ing to the Masters teachings.

Rev. DR.. Kirkus OF Baltimore said the
most radical and stupid Interpretation had
been given the Scriptures. Religion was
| never less than commoDsense. What
would become of the fine arts under social
ismp What would become OF the freedom
of the press?
Rev. MIR. Huntington of New York agreed
with Mr.. Kirkus, but from exactly opposite
reasons. He was not socialist, but recog-
nized there was discomfort among the
people-an intellectual discomfort. moving
toward socialism. The capitalist was a
hard-working man; the landowner was
not. Men did live without iron, gold and
! silver; but they never could live without
land. Was 1t not absurd to class land-a gift
OF God-as private property, with things
the man made? He did not favor the di-
vision of land into little bits, but lie hated a
landlord; his title was basphemous, for
there was but one landlord and the human
| race were his tenants.
At the evening session the topic was the
relations OF the clergy to politics. Several
