PITTsBURG. Pa. Jan. A-Rev Dr.
W. L. McEwen, pastor of tho church
attended by some Of the most prominent
steel manufacturers and millionaires OF
this city. which Is located in the heart OF
the fashionable and wealthiest resident
district, scored his flock so severely
when he preached sermon on Thou
Shalt Not Steal" that all Pittsburg stood
aghast. Looking straight at a number OF
the richest members, he said:
"This country, since combinations OF
capital have been Illegally formed, has
been going backward. Any mans good
money was good not long since when it
was honestly made. Some Of you are
extortionists and nothing more than
thieves. The practices Of to-day not only
in this city. but others, are all towards
the accumulation Of wealth at the ex-
pense of honor and friendship. and all
that the men Of character short time
ago held higher than the almighty dol
lars"

chair in Princeton University and re-
fused Il.
