in the century or more of its exist

FOWLER TAKES
ISSUE WITH BRYAN
ON BANK DEPOSITS
He Declares That Nothing Is
Fit for Reserves Except
Gold.

NEW YORK, Oct. Fin response to
urging by commercial, organizations,
Representative Charles N. Fowler, of
New Jersey chairman of the House
committee on banking and currency,
consented yesterday TO express his
opinion OF the scheme for guarantee
ing bank deposits, which William j.
Bryan mas made one of the chief is
sues of his campaign. He said in part:
Let us remember two fundamental
and essential propositions:
"First-Since our standard of. value is
good, nothing Is At for bank reserves
except gold.
"Second-There is absolutely no Diff
ference between a true banknote and
. deposit subject to check; both are
equally a demand obligation of the
bank, and it is only a matter OF con-
venience to the creditor of the bank.
, whether he Is q tote holder or depos-
iior.
"Our bank reserves should all be in
gold.
9Th required amount of reserves
should be maintained.
'"The savings accounts of our banks
should all be kept separate and apart
from the commercial accounts, and in
vested strictly in accordance with law
or prescribed rules"

POLITICIANS
WR0NGfULLY STIR
UP LABOR CLASSES
The Rev. Mr.. Zimmerman
breaches on "Ye Are Salt
of Earth" Declaration.

The Rev. Andrew s. Zimmerman, Il
the Memorial Presbyterian Church, yes
terday morning treated Christ's com
pliment to His disciples: I'VE are the
Salt Of the Earth
He said the Christian was the
enigma, of the ages, and the world
would never get through wondering at
him till it was conquered for Christ.
You cannot explain him by any OF
the standards of law, science or phiios-
ophy," he said. He is in the world,
but is not of it. He is in quarterless
conflict with it and Always dies singing
a awarsong.
His greatest gift 10 the world is pa
thence. He waits for victory and often
serves his absent Master best by sim
ply waiting. When he presses matters
he usually sins. Moses became a muir
derer in ~rcsenting the wrongs OF his
brethren; John Brown became guilty
of insurrection when he took the liber-
ating of the slaves in his own hands;
Carrie Nation became a mob when she
set out to settle the saloon question.
The Christians business is to repre-
sent God, and God can afford to walt.
THE greatest mischief politicians
have. done the laboring classes in the
last twenty-five years is stirring them
up to hate their employers. God meant
capital and labor to. be partners, and
today they hate each. other. The MAJ
who stirs up class hatred deserves the
~penitentiary. Poverty is no. crime,
but sin is. God keeps many of us poor
because we'd stir up the mischief il
we were rich.
1.-THE Christian is Gods agitatcr. He
will keep the world in hot debate till
every question is settled right
1.-THE Christian is the worlds COM
mentary on the Bible. They may not
read the Bible very often, but they
never fail to note the lessons of the
commentary. One thorough Christian
keeps the word believing for a century.
One man like Luther will counteract
centuries of religious corruption, half
,heartedness and emptiness, and will
Offset a hundred years growth of in
fidels and hypocrites.
The Christians business is to save
the word; to conquer and. dominate it..
If o too the Christians out OF the
world, there would not be enough vir-
tue left to save the world for a day.
Let the Christian remember what Jesus
said. Of him: "Ye are the Salt of the
Earth" SCI. -

MINISTER SAYS
THE CITY HAS Been
GIVEN TO BREWERS
The Rev. Samuel j. Skeyington
Also Declares Society Needs
to Be Evangelical.

Preaching on 1.-THE Present Need of
Evangelizing,'' the Rev. Samuel ].
Skevington, of the Clinton Avenue Bap-
fist Church, declared yesterday. this
need is one that trayerses the whole Of
our life, personal and social, sacred
and secular and he turned his at
tention TO the need of the community,
declaring that evangelism was needed
forsthe salvation of society. He said:
Consider the moral life of our own
city. The city which our chief execu-
tive, SO far as his prerogatives would
allow. has given over body and soul,
as the private and personal property
of the brewers and saloon-keepers, and
you will be Mortified to see the creep
ing things of the pit eating ava he
heart of our civic life.
RAISE the curtain. lift the lid, let in
tics. in our business. in our social life;
oh, the %corruption; the sin. Not that
there are in all these walks of life no
men thai are honest and clean; thank
God there are always those who have
not bowed the knee to Baal, but the
moral tone, the moral atmosphere are
awful. No wonder so much soul prop
erty of i~ncalcula6ie worth is lost to
God and man for time and for eternity
every year Yea, every day. No Won
der so many noble temples of character
are DESTROYED by the hell-fire of passion
and appetite! Nowonder SO many price
less souls and precious lives are ruined,
ruined and damned under such con-
ditions of life. Nay, no wonder the cry
comes up from the better nature of
u sinful, SHINING society for an
ethical revival. Verify We sorely need
a revival of morals.
But 10Y shall we go about it? Some
say redeem the conditions of the poor,
secure a more equitable distribution Of
wealth. And l believe in this, for it
is Justice; but hat only touches the
outer edge of the case God knows
poverty and riches are not synonymous
with vice and virtue. The Lord has his
saints and the devil his imps among
both the poorest and the richest.
"Others say education and culture
will Danish the evil and establish the
good, and I believe in education and
culture, but, alas! some of the greatest
rascals and most rnonstrous villains
of history have been men of trained
minds. and cultivated manners, while
some of the choicest spirits of earth
have been illiterate and unculturea."
