Association yesterday Secretary Shaw of
the Treasury Department delivered an add

poor in churches. He said, in part:

me, why is 1t that the Catholic Church
is more successful in reaching the poor
than we?' I replied, That Is easy. They
never talk about it, They draw no distinc-
tons. ~ -
''They never abuse the one nor patronize
the other. The Methodist Church was de-
signed for people; rich people and poor peo-
pie: educated and uneducated people; cui-

that ii should be the church of one to the
exclusion of the others. In my judgment

is to stop. drawing distinctions between
the sons of men.

part of those whom the world calls poor
against those whom the world calls rich,
than vice versa. But I believe this pre1u-
dice is only heightened by continually talk
ing about it, and IL this were popular
