NEW YORK CITY
HARD HIT BY
PASTOR PETERS
AssaiIs ''Dog Worshipping Aris-
t0crats" as Neither Christian
Nor Civilized
B0odlers, Grafters and Legal
Officials More Corrupt Than
ViOIatOrS of Law and Order
Especial from United Press. }

New York, April 21-Bitterly aSsail-
ing absentee landlords and dog wor-
shipping aristocrats'', Rev. DR.. Madi-
son c. Peters today declared that New
York city is neither a Christian nor a
civilized community. Selfishness was
the order of the day here, he said, and
he insisted that nearly all Of the res
idents Of this city are as 'heartlessly
and Systematically forgetfm of the
rights and claims of others as they
would have been had Christ never
been heard Of
''New York is a city of boodlers and
grafters where many of the officers
of the law and order are more corrupt
than the violaters Of the law and or
der,'' he continued. 1.-The great eS-
tates are holding thousands of lots
in the heart of the city just for a rise
in values About 80 men and estates
practically own the rich island Of Man
haitian. Tax commissioners value this
land at seven billion dollars. The in
crease in land values annually In
Manhattan is 81, 100000 and this goes
into the pockets of absentee land
lords.
rs city civilized in which there
is more than an Egyptian worship Of
Anubis? Palnpering dogs with silly
infatuation, while utterly Indifferent
to the helplessness and suffering Of
tens of thousands Of children? l can
not call New York civilized city
with it's rage of avarice and worship
of Mammon, It's God-defying extrav-
agance, its oppression and extortion,
its deceit and fraud. which the law
cannot restrain.
among a few of our best men and
women are our richest men and wo-
men; they feel their responsibility be-
fore God but these few are the ex-
ception to the rule. / deny that
those who live and spend for them
selves a1one-soulless men and
thoughtless selfish women-are worthy
of either the name civilized or Christ
