BUILD P|c-STY
FOR AFF|NI[|Es,"
SAYS PASTOR

New York, Oct H.--In a most caustic
denunciation of 'affinities' and the Sun
rise club to which he devoted a vItrioIio
sermon last night at the Grace Methodist
church in Brooklyn. the Rev. Frederick
r. shannon declared that the federal gov
ernment should deport all such moral
lepers" to some isolated island where they
should be kept forever away from decent
folk. He said:
when we recall the affinity cases
and the 'Sunrisers' with which New York
is cursed, we have reason to be doubly
thankful for the truth expressed in the
words. The world passeth away, and the
lust thereof And the sooner these in
human freaks pass away, the better 1t
will be for society. Society owes 1t to- it,
self TO assist them in passing away as
speedily as possible. They are warts on
the social organism which ought to be
cut out, root and branch. TO preserve the
health OF the community.
when such monstfesities as Ferdinand
Earle and the Sunrise club come from the
depths TO blacken the surface Of the So
cial sea. they are not entitled TO the hu-
name treatment OF a coat of tar and
feathers-they need millstones hanged
about their necks to hold them down in
their native blackness.
And / say this because they impress
me as being about the only element I'm
society whose case is utterly hopeless
There is hope for the drunkard and the
murderer and the gambler, and the fallen
woman; but these artistic assassnators
OF the home, these exponents OF free
lovism, these foul-minded libertines who
scoff at legal marriage, these biped vul-
lures who sit In the tree OF civilization
and croak at the common decencies OF
life. these broad-minded CD martyrs be-
cause of the narrowing restrictions of law
and order, they seem to belong to By
ron's freed inheritors OF hell. for whom
there is neither social, mental, moral, nor
spiritual redemption!
Il do not know where the Sunrise club
got its name. but after reading an inter-
view with one OF its members I am In
clined to think that the name was sug-
gested by the probable practice of the
club itself-breaking up about sunrise in
the morning after night OF dissipation.
II would modestly suggest that Uncle
Sam perform n wholesome missionary
work by building kind of national pig
sty on some lonely island. and then give
them free transportation thereto. with full
knowledge that such a colony would soon
die of its own filth"
