commissioner told them of their sins in
proper fashion. The commissioner was
there to control the floods. and he ordered
the magistrates to their knees. II began

RICH CLASS
DR.. Radcliffe Talks Against
Wealth Distinction.
CHURCHES CANNOT BE CLUBS
Glass Has Made InrOads on Good
Work of Religion, and Minister
Urges that the Churches Not Desert
the Common PeOpIe-Neyys of the
Churches in Washington.

''The man with the gold ring generally
gets the front seat. Some times he takes
it and some times it is given to him. but
he always gets to the front. because the
gold ring hypnotizes. The church has no
right to become a club, and it should not
find It's home only among the wealthy
and cultured"
THE man with the gold ring" was the
subject Of the sermon delivered by DR..
Radcliffe in the New York Avenue Church
last evening, and he took occasion TO
point out what ne termed the obsequious-
ness Of the world toward money. Con-
tinuing he said:
The business man says, Money talks
the gambler, Put UP or shut up the
the scholar Money is eloquent the racer,
The bay in yellow wins the day.. and the
idler, The canary is still the finest bird
Gold is worshiped in ali climes and by all
classes without a single hypocrite. Our
verdict upon the man depends upon our
knowledge about the ring-where did It
come from? How did he get it? Honest
toll has reward beyond desire or knowI-
edge Of ancient wealth.
wealth OETeu D1SEfOneEf.
But colossal fortunes often use dishOn-
est means. Hundred-gated advantage
opens 10 the hard hand OF power. Many
a man would be ashamed to give pub
licity to the methods Of his fortune
Monopoly multiplies the gold rings. Even
great thieves may wear gold chains. while
little thieves wear iron ones. Money is
not virtue. It may buy a diploma or a
scepter. but it cannot bribe the keeper
Of the heavenly gate.
The figure of the apostle is literally
'be-gOld Tinged in brilliant clothing f1aunt-
ing and the very narrative pictures the
vulgarity of wealth in every age. There
is an old proverb that there is no place
so high that an ass laden with gold may
not reach it
Rich Often Anarchistie.
The rich man is anarchistic. In his
influence he shackIes liberty.
Our tendencies are toward democracy,
but we have not yet arrived. The cap
tain Of industry is supplanting the Pc
utical commander. Il is still a question in
America, whether we have democracy or
plutoCraCy. An aristocracy of money will
be more dangerous than a nobility of cul-
ture or blood. The rich man attacks the
fraternity of the church It's idea is
brotherhood. It's exemplar is the divine
brother He has introduced into the
Christian fellowship and entrenched IN
many ways his class idea.
Churches Must stand by People.
But the church must not desert the
common people. And if it does Salvation

This board is composed Of three naval

The machinists Of the navy yard object

SYMPTOMS OF
BRlCHT'S DISEASE

The spread of Brights disease is so
profoundly stirring the health depart
ments of the large cities that mention
of the cornmonest symptoms is timely.
Puffiness of the eyelids or swelling
of the ankles or hands in the morning;
also dropsy in the abdomen.
The INSTRUCTED kidney increases the
blood pressure and the heart may be-
come involved and painful. This is
often attended with an asthmatic con-
dition or shortness of breath.
AS Brights disease commonly starts
as kidney trouble, any kidney disorder
that has fingered longer than three
or four months is notice of the chronic
danger point, and that it can be no
longer trifed with.
There may or may not be sediment.
Often in advanced cases, there in no
visible sediment.
Failing eyesight, drowsiness and
uraemic headaches are all advanced
symptoms.
IA pale, pasty complexion, with weak
ness, is also to be regarded as suspicf-
Gus.
