Barkley of Detroit today in his sermon
opening the 122d General Assembly Of the

here.
IF virtues are virie'' continued the
retiring moderator, evils are gigantic"
Twin sins that threaten the very ex-
istence of this Christian nation are the
vulgar race for gain and the rotting sin
of social vices.
The former of these evils, the in
ordinate love Of money, is the parental
and passionate root of sins that vitiate
the whole world. 1t has given US the
CRATER in Office and the white slave
dealer in society those twin vampires of
civilization. 1t has corrupted the func-
tons of government and clicked the
channels Of justice.
"All for Money Lust
Sunday base ball, Sunday excursions,
Sunday newspapers, Sunday saloons, Sun
day theaters and the like are it's crea-
lures. Not one Of them are prompted
by motives of benevolence. Not one OF
them leaves the world better, but worse.
1t Is this money lust that promotes the
prize ring with its survival of savagery
that once butchered gladiators to make
Il Roman holiday.
But bad as is the inordinate passion
for wealth and its attendant evils. 1t is
white and wholesome as compared to
that second category OF sins at which l

sin that runs so often in the wake OF
wealth and luxurious living.
'Ravages OF tuberculosis and typhoid
fever are as mere side issues to these
terrific sicknesSes that are the result of
this shameful and secret sin. And these
physical sicknesses in their turn are put
superficial compared to the sin itself.

STARTLING SLAUGHTER OF
BABIES.
A Thousand Babies Dead From Heat
In New York Last Ten Days.

New York, July 31.-With a thou
sand babies dead from the heat of the
last ten days and over four score
recorded as killed by each succeeding
course of the sun, all New York is to-
day rising to back the battle of the
authorities against this startling
slaughter of the innocents. Squads of
doctors and nurses are being hurriedly
scattered over the fetid streets, at al
most every corner of which white
hearses tell their pitiful tale. Milk,
ice and baby bathtubs have been
rushed to the scene of this critical con-
flict of the life savers with the deadly
infant blight of the blazing skies.
Fifty. seventy-five and even eighty per
cent. more babies than Succumbed last
summer have sunk to death in the re-
cent hot spells that are taking their
toll in hundreds from the older and
more robust A million mothers are
today being provided with the council
of the health officers in this emerg-
ency, and yet there is no sign of a
turning in the fatal tide. Though
thousands of chalk white infants now
lie fighting for lift throughout the tor
rid town, it is hoped that the forces of
the massing relief army may yet check
the saddest ravages of the sun.
