RAPSREFORM BY LAW
Bishop Potter DeplOreS Null
titude of Statutes.
WOULD BROADEN CONSCIENCE
Prominent Episcopal Divine De-
clnres 1t the Mission of the Church.
Could BE Completely Stamped Out
by Enactment of Ideal Law.

New York. May 26.-Bishop Potter,
after having been introduced this morn
ing TO the congregation Of the Church Of
the IntercessIon, Broadway and l5Sth
street. as New York's foremost citizen,
preached on the futility Of attempting to
reform society by mere legal enactments.
In the bishops opinion. conscience must
be enlightened, and it is the mission of
the church in every community to furnish
this enlightenment.
We all recognize and regret" said
the bishop, that one Of the prominent
tendencies In American life is to exalt en-
tirely too much the Importance Of the in
dividuaL Civil government. for example,
is supposed TO have It's basis in civil law
and there exists a wide misconception on
the part Of the people that equality runs
parallel 20 the quality of the law. One
need have had a very brief residence I'm
our own city TO observe the evil Of this
misconception. Perhaps nowhere in the
world are there so many laws on the
statute books for the regulation of life
as there are upon our own statute books
The bishop said that the evil practices
which the lawmaSer thought would be
completely stamped out by the enactment
of his ideal law go on the same as before
or. if modified, are sometimes modified
for the worse
