TALKS FROM JAMES WORDS

In the course Of a sermon yesterday
morning on the "Fonies and NJ iseries Of
the Wicked Rich. Very Rev J. b. Ed
die, rector Of St Marks Episcopal
Church. reminded the fair listeners in
his congregation that women who came

Itch as were men who had acquired
wealth by INSCRIPTIONS means.
The speaker touched but lightly on
this point, drawing his theme entirely
from the first six verses Of chapter v.
al the Epistle of James, beginning, Go
10 now. you rich men. weep and howl
Tor your miseries that shall come upon
you"
Dean Eddie spoke Of the unscrupU-
lous accumulation of capital at the eX-
pense of the poor labOrer as the very
o5lintessence of cruelty. He told of the
conception Of wealth i'm the days in
which the epistle was written and spoke
OF the more modern idea. Both, how
ever, represented concentrated power

true mission of man who aCcumulates
wealth is 10 aid his fellow men and not

morning ON Sources of Physical and
Mental Health" The speaker in
stanced several opinions Of noted
authorities in dealing with the inter
relation Of mind and matter i'm the
cure of physical and mental ills.
DR.. Fish said in part:

As to Christian Science.

a member of our congregation who
is also an adherent of the Christian
Science movement. as it is called, said
to a friend OF mine that he was no less
Of "a Unitarian than before but that
what had formerly been q mere theory
with him had become a matter of vital
experience. The remark brings us
face TO face with the chief source Of
the comparative weakness not only Of
our church, but, i'm varying degrees,
OF all churches. Most persons who
profess any interest at all in religion
have excellent theories IN regard TO
the character and dealings of the power
in which we all depend. but we some
times fail TO make theE an important
part of our daily lives
Rev. Mr. Fish then went on to dis
