Hears a Mild Criticism Of His Philippine
Policy While Attending Church.
New YORK, March 6.-Bishop An.
drews of the Methodist Episcopal church,
who preached Sunday at the services
attended by the president, caused a
mild sensation, some of his remarks be-
ing considered a criticism of the admin.
istration's Philippine policy.
Bishop Andrews discoursed on charity
and love, taking as his text the fifth
verse of the first chapter of the first
Epistle to Timothy: Now the erd Of
the commandment is charity out Of pure
heart, and of good conscience, and OF
faith unfeigned."
Whatever may be the a of de.
pravity," said Bishop Andrews, "what.
ever may be the doctrine of depravitv,
man loves his family. his neighbors and
his country. This love makes society
possible. We should love our friends
and neighbors and country, but we
should love the people of every other
race as we love ourselves.
His Idea of Patriotism
what Is patriotism but a narrow
care Of ones own land and city. such as
the Romans had when they trampled
out the lives Of whole nations:
lone OF n greatest generals said
that the only good Indian is a dead In.
dian. One OF u greatest judges as.
serted that a black man has no rights
which a white man is bound to re-
spect.
whether or not this is true, there
are indications of a tendency not to
value men of other races as we value
those Of our own.
"We cannot recognize the excellence
OF the man with almond eyes, or whose
hair is curled a little too much. We
find it hard to recognize that these are
all the children Of one great father"

the day at the meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, expressing the be.

good thing for the laboring classes.
Coming as it did from the leader Of a
striking union this sentiment created a
sensation at the meeting. 1t seemed to

precated the tendency to regard the
present labor troubles as a beginning of
