MINISTER MAKES PLEA
FOR 0LD-TIME RELIGION

Directing his remarks against the
wave of materialism which he declared
was now sweeping over the country.
the Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor
of the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, made a powerful plea for the
return Of Old-fashioned religion in his
sermon last right.
Even many of the clergy were forget
ting 10 teach the religion of Jesus
Christ he said. and were delivering
sermons which had the effect OF relig-
ious cocktails. IN tiius wandering from
the path of old-fashiOned religion. ne
said. the clergy as well as the laity
were responsible for the on-rush OF
materialism.
Dr. Radcliffe declared that until such
time as ministers cOnfine themselves
to the great religious truths and cease
their desire 10 please through sensation
alism, the blessings OF the Christian re-
hgion could not be enjoyed as in the
OIden time.

Japan as an Example.

II the people or this country VIII
just be patient, they viii soon have
a lamp of experience, burning at
very high candle power, by which
TO guide their feet in any govern
ment ownership experiments they
may choose To undertake. Japan is
gong in for government ownership
on a great scale The question Of
money doesn't worry Japan. She
borrows it, calculating that a big
debt which represents huge and
profitable assets is not an unmixed
evil.
Two years ago, even a year ago,
even today, financial experts are
giving themselves worry about the
future of Japun's national finances.
The country Is not wealthy; it is
one of the poorest in the world. But
it has audacity, ambition, determi-
nation. Cooperation on a national
scale is Japan's policy for the de-
velopment of the country's future.
Having become powerful despite
poverty. Japan is now going ahead
TO make herself rich. She is going
To capitalize the qualities that de-
velnped her new civilization, that
gave her a splendid modern army
and a powerful navy, and that won
a great war.
Japan has adopted a plan for tax
ing over all the privately owned
railroads in tie empire. She is like
wise making government monopo-
lies of great industries that, having
the tendency to become monopolies
in any case. are thought 10 be bet
ter under absolute government di-
rection.
She is giving the most direct and
effective government support to
shipping and railroad development
that will strengthen the CONNER
cial hand of Japan in the Pacific and
on the Asiatic continent. She has
entered upon a great career Of ex-
ploitation in Korea and Manchuria,
having just p-lfected her plans for
the creation of a system of rail
roads in Manchuria in connection
with those in Korea, which will
make japanese interests as domi-
nant as those Of Russia once aimed
to be.
No country has ever capitalized
the national ambition so high as
Japan is now doing it. She is giving
the world an object lesson in the
employment of national credit as a
substitute for private wealth. She
is raising the needful money, in the
various markets of the world, with
a success which, thus far at least,
seems to suggest how groundless
are the fears of those who doubt
the availability of national credit in
such enterprises.
If Japan is able to go forward in
times of financial stress as she is
now, when all the world
is on a high tide Of prosperity; if
she makes these enterprises pay; if
her ambition for wealth shall sue
ceed; if the aspiration to dominate
the commerce and direct the new
civilization of the East, shall sue
ceed, then Japan will have indeed
started an economic revolution. But
if she shall fail, her experience will
be a solemn and effective warning
for a long time to other peoples
disposed TO try the same path TO
greatness.
