R1BBI'S PLEA FOR UONEN
DR.. Wise Wants to See Them ON
Board of Education.

The Rev DR.. Stephen S. Wise of the Free Svna
gogue, speaking yesterday at a rally OF the Young
Mems Hebrew Association the subject Daring
to Stand Alone" expressed himself strongly in
favor of the appointment of women on the Board
of Education and said this was not A Christian
nation nation, and could never be- since the
fathers OF the republic had decreed a comDlete
separation OF Church and State.
DIR. Wise said that there was nothing that NO
should fight against more earnestly than the abuse
of power by majorties. One of the tyrannies which
dominate this republic, he said, was that Of ma
jorities.
DIR, Wise paid tribute to President Roosevelt
for his brave effort to bring back the things of
God into the life of the people" DR. Wise said in
part:
And then there is the tyranny OF males. Of the
men," he said. Not one woman is a member ~
the Board Of Education of this city There are
two women district superntendents and a nu,,-
ber of women on the district boards which are
ornamental rather than useful but the educational
affairs of $4,000 children, the largest educa
system in the world. are administered without the
voice and counsel of women. One would almost
imagine that the children of the schools of New,
York have only one parent. seeing that the school
affairs managed without the aid. guidance and
inspiration which the mothers ought to be per
mitted to bring. Some day when the shackIes of
male tyranny are broken woman will have her
place by the side of in directing the education
of children, and she will bring TO that high
task the wisdom and power for good which are
innatey hers.
"One OF the tyrannies we, the American people
must be prepared To resist is the tyranny Of those
who forever insist maintaining that this Is u
Christian nation. Seeing that the majority of the
people OF the United States are nominally members
OF the Christian Church II might with some show
OF be held that this is 81 Christian people.
II all the citizens OF the country were Christians
sim were this not Christian nation by virtue
Of the genius of the American democracy this ma
ton cannot be anything relgousy. The fathers OF
the Republic have decreed that Church and state
are. and forever shall remain. separate

Foreign Mssions DR.. John Z. Adams and Dr.
Charles Edward Locke, pastor of the church.
Bishop William Burt preached the sermon. which
was addressed principally to the ministers. His
text from L Corinthians Il. IA
Bishop Burt said conditions were much the same
now as in Pauls day. He said: we sing. Rescue
the Pershing' and then ask else to DO
the rescuing." The Bishop warned against unduly
ntensfyng the idea of feeling and the waiting for
sign OF spiritual power as on the Day of
Pentecost, such the fire and the cIoven tongues
instead Of the life giving breath of God"
Christianity was effective in breaking down dis
tnctions and nstituting the reign of righteousness
We ask FOR character. and not for creed. he con-
tinued, but must hold to one creed. for
righteousness regulates the conduct OF men"
He urged the ministers to present Christ as the
only Saviour through the power of the Holy Ghost.
This power of God shown in the Church as in
the first three centuries. Some saying that
in the Church light had been substituted for heat
Culture and science had work all their own, but
they We're not substitutes for elf-sacrifcng con-
duct in evangelizing the world. While not reflect

cannot take the place implied in the great
commission We not in the world to amuse
the Church was not to entertain. but relieve the
distressed, console the sOrrowing and the
lost" Materialism has wrought injury in the
Church, and where it prevailed the Church is fos-
silized because 1t excluded Christ
The Bishop believed that there was already a
manifest reaction; men were turning from materi--
alism TO Christ and science assisting Chris
tianity and this, he said, in the new
fads of religion and expressed in the Christian
social service and the Methodist Brotherhood
