London. Dec. 2S.-The wholesale
theft of wireless plans, models and

pert would reveal all the workings and
innermost secrets of the wireless SER
vice of fhe British navy, is charged
against Richard Knowllen, who was
placed on trial at Portsmouth today, 1

certain books of the most confidential

The authorities attach the greatest
importance to the arrest Of the ac-
Cused man. as they contend that If the

all the labor of recent years given to
the perfection of Il wireless system for

rendered practically fruitless.

theoretically free from the sordid influences
that affect business and social life and it's
work the noblest and grandest inspiration
of human effort, springing from the exam
pie of the sacrifice of God. Under such con-
dition it is entitled to be honored by ALL But
whenever conditions change so that there
enters a suggestion Of other motives, the
cause is weekend and doubt of cincerity be-
comes a weapon to be welded in the hands
Of every man whose interest is opposed.
The church of to-day, with it's grand edi-
fees and it's large salaried ministers, needs
money for it's support, and this money must
come from business interests. Social prob
lens and political warfare cannot be taken
up without antagonizing these interests,
disrupting congregations and dragging the
Church into a field of battle on which its
own prosperity will be slain and it's useful
ness weakened
Besides this, there arises the question,
should the Church be successful in gaining
political power to the extent of enforcing it's
demands for social reforms, would it stop
there, or would it use its power for it's own
advancement ?
