PLEA FOR "MAN's CHRIST"
Too Much Femininity In Present Con
ception, Says Presbyterian
Preacher.

Denver, Col, May 25.-As a result
of an overture submitted to the Pres
byterian general assembly it is PROB
able that the next year will see the
church taking up the great moral queS'
tions of the day arising from the rap
idly changing industrial and CONNER
cial conditions.
The causes which on one hand are
driving workingmen toward socialism
and its elastic code of morals and on
the other are causing prosperous busl'
ness men to stoop to questionable prac'
tices to keep in life's greedy scramble
will be sought out and an effort mace
to find remedial methods.
1t is also probable that the question
of children s morals, said to be sunel,
ing at the hands of commercialism, VIII
be the subject of much thought, and inc
assembly has been asked to approve
and help push the bill now before con-
gress asking for a national children >
bureau.
