POVERTY THE CAUSE OF CRIME.
Holm BRIsBEN WALKER TELLS THE DRAWING
ROOM CLUB TIE CHURCH MUST
RECOGNIZE THIS.

A well-attended meeting of the Drawing Room
Club was held last evening at the Waldorf. John
Hr,shen Walker was the speaker of the evening
and the subject treated by him was "The Church
and Poverty" Summed up in a single sentence
Mr. Walkers argument was that the church was
not doing its duty az the present time He SAID
that the teachings Of the Bible differed widely from
the practices of society to-day. The Church had
failed 10 grasp the important fact that with the ad-
vancement OF civilization and the enormous in
crease In riches had arisen a startling growth OF
poverty
The hope which society had for overcoming
such condition lay in the recognition by the
Church that crime and sin sprang from poverty
Murder robbery lust. falsehood and all forms of
wrongdoing were cited. with numerous illustra-
tions, having their root and source in poverty.
This whole question was one of practical morality
for the Church take UP and consider. Mr..
Walker used the New Testament largely in his dis
course reading passages from IL and pointing out
how little the Church had lived up 10 the teachings
contained therein.
