THE BAPTIST WORLD ALLi4 nee
Characterizing the Baptist Church as
loose and scattered band Of brothers,
IN organization pledged to orthodoxy
and yet one that has given more
her etics to the world than any Other
denomination Rev. DR.. George FL
Ferris, OF the First BAPTIST Church
Philadelphia, in his address delivered
Monday afternoon before the opening
session Of the Baptist World Alliance,
in Grace Baptist Church, called forth
scores OF indignant protests from all
sections OF the great building.
Our efforts" said DR. Ferris, have
been scattered and divided; the freedom
gained has been most dangerous to our
selves; still we stand repudatiDg the
dreams Of great religious hierarchy. "
Dr.. Ferris emphasized the importance
II not being exclusive in religious
life.
Rev. DR.. Clifford, who for more than
80 years has been in charge of the
Tabernacle in London, made a stirring
address. He declared that the budget
introduced by Chancellor of the Eek
chsquer Lloyd, George represented more
than anything else the application Of
Baptist ideals to social life. He de.
clared the House Of Lords was on its
knees-a very proper place for it
to be.
In his address Rev. DR.. Russell H.
Couwell, who presided over the pre-
iiminary meeting, pleaded with the
delegates not to say anything that
might be used against the delegates
from Russia. He said Russia had sent
spies 10 this country. and declared he
had positive information that every
thing having reference to Russia oc-
curing in the convention would be
taken down in shorthand and read by
the car.
England he referred TO as another
benighted country. Dr.. Augustus H.
Strong, Of Rochester, \. Y, spoke
strongly in favor of international arbit.
ration. Dr. Strong also spoke against
a full union of Protestant churches.
Let us work together. 5" hc said, but
keep our fundamental, principles sep
arate.
DR.. William Teller, OF St Petersburg
spoke Of conditions in Russia, and eX-
pressed the belief that full religious lib
crty would come there in time There

The Underwood WOODEN bill, elimina-
ting the iniqui,es Of Schedule *. and
reducing its rates 80 per cent, passed
the House of Representatives without
amendment late yesterday afternoon by
a margin Of III, the largest majority
given any tariff measure put through
that body in years.
The vote stood 221 TO 100, with six
members present aud not voting be-
cause paired with ahSentees. Only one
democrat-Francis, of Ohlo-yoted
against the bill He was able to do so
without violating the rules OF the dem
ocratic caucus because he had pledged
himself To his constituents IN a heavy
wool raising district not to vote for q
reduction OF the rates, and SO Informed
the caucus.
Three other democrats Rucker. OF
Colorado, Gray. or Indiana. and Sharp
Of Ohio-had also Informed the caucus
that they reserved the right under
pledges TO their constituents 70 vote
against the bill, but when the roll was
called each OF these men supported the
hill having previously tried to procure
the adoption of amendments embody-
Ing the rates they preferred.
Equally remarkable as the practical
unanimity OF the democrats was the
scattering support which the handi-
work Of the democrats received from
non democratic section of the House.
Victor Berger, the lone socialist
voted for the bill.
