Rev. A. T. Jones of Michigan Ad
dresses the Secular Leapue.

Al its meeting at Pythian Temple yes
terday afternoon the Washington Secular
League was addressed by Alonzo T. Jones
of Battle Creek, Mich, on tthe subject
Revelation and Science" Mr.. Jones was
formerly one Of the foremost leaders of
the Seventh Day Adventist denomination,
with which body he was connected as
minister. editor, aHthor. and oflcial for
many years. AS the result of a denomi-
national dispute In which he was charged
with ''heresy and disloyalty." he was de-
prived Of his credentials as minister. and
is now preaching independently, and is
Battle Creek, Mich.
Mr.. Jones defended revelation as con-
sistent with true science. and held that
sin order that science shall be truly sci
entifc It b essential that science shall
recognize revelation" He cited the sci
entific dictum that. absolute beginnings
are beyond the pale OF SCIENCE" and the
words of Herbert Spencer that there
must exist some principle which, as the
science"
He held that the revelation Of ultimate
truth. which science confesses it's ina
bility to reach. Is made In Christianity
and in the Bible.
The address was discussed by President
H. c. Kirk, M. G. Lamprey. David Eccles,
Miss Anna Maclaurin Smith, Prof. H. b.

BLAMES RICH CLASSES.
Selfshness and Penuriousness Re
sponsible for Criminals.

Condemning the superficial lives Of rich
men and women and the overcultivated
tastes acquired through vast fortunes
accumulated at the expense of the strug-
Cling poor NJ. A. Pozen asserted that
this so-called select class of Americans
was one of the chief contributing factors
fer the increase in the number of the
country's criminals. The address of Mr.
Pozen was on the source of Americas
supply of lawbreakers before the Cole
gate Club last night at the Eighth Street
Temple. There was debate of the aues-
ton. and the other speakers were Dr. P
Castleman and M. Levy.
Mr.. Pozen declared that the criminal
classes were principally recruited from the
MASCOT people who failed in the struggle
for 4sltyelihood, and these failures he ar
gued, were to very large extent due to
the segregation of wealth and wage die
tation by the few.
This class of persons, the American
plutocrats, who maintain mills, factories
and mines at great cost in human life,'
said Mr.. Pozen. ARE filling half the peni-
tenitaries in the United States through
their criminal penuriousness and selfish
disregard for hungering humanity"
DR.. Castleman and Mr.. Levy spoke along
the same lines.

Mr.. Bigelow Describes Department
Battle for Pure Food.

w. D. Bigelow. assistant chief Of the
bureau of chemistry Of Agricultural De-
partment, told the members Of the Mis-
souri, Society in Pythian Temple Saturday
night of the ceaseless war which the
department is -waging on those who try
to put impure foods and drugs on the
market. :. He declared that so far the de-
partment has met with much success,
and the ''housecleaning' in certain es-
Establishments which were manufacturing
goods which came within the meaning
of the pure food and drugs act has had
wholesome effect on others entering
into the manufacture Of similar pro-
ducts. A musical and literary pragram
was also given during the evening by
a number of the members Of the organi-
zation. e. l.. Whitney, vice president
of the society, which Is non-political and
non-sectarian, near the close made a
motion that the organization give Mr.
Bigelow vote of thanks. and the sug-
gestion was carried with enthusiasm
