REP. LLOYD TALKS ON "THE SOCIAL MESSIAH"
CAUSES WARM DISCUSSION AT CHURCH

OF the Grace Episcopal Church last
night was delivered by DR.. Frederick
E. ]. Lloyd, Progressive member of
Illinois state legislature, on the sub
ject 'The Social Messiah"
DR.. Lloyd antagonized his audience
by drawing a picture of the Christ
as a politician who catered to all
classes of people, was a respecter of
all laws and fed the hungry not be-
cause they were hungry, but because
they followed him.
He evoked a wave of deTisiVe
laughter from his audience by de-
claring that the rich were not as hap
Ply as the poorN and pictured the
capitalist as an isolated being, bowed
under the weight of responsibility en-
tailed by his wealth.
The doctor declared that when
Jesus said it was easier for a camel
to pass through a needles eye than
rich man to enter Heaven, he was
merely putting the rich men to the
test to see what they would sacrifice
to follow him.
Christ was also represented by DR..
Lloyd as preaching against divorce.
He declared that it is lack of Chris
tianity that is responsible for the lax
ity in this respect in modern times.
The audience, larger than at any
previous meeting and composed less
Of sightseers and more Of men who
wanted free speech, was bitter in its
attack on the doctor.
The first question asked him was
why he had voted against the initia-
tive and referendum. This question
was ruled out of order.
Again, he was asked why, if he be-
ieYed that Christ glorif1ed women in
being born of a woman, did he vote
against the 10-hour law for women.
This question was ruled out of order.
At last, however, it was put in
such a form and the demand of the
a11dinOpo for on oOCJUpr Juoc cO in
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-12-01

MS reply.
my contention was that the five
per cent required to the initiative was
too SMALL he stated, land did not
want to be party to rule of minor
ity."
The first speaker to make a five
minute address was interrupted when
he announced that he favored 10
hour law for women by the hysterical
outburst of woman in the audience
who declared that 10 hours was too
much and who was with difficulty
quieted.
The speakers in the majority we're
atheists, agnOstics or materialists,
and DR.. Lloyd had furnished them
abundant material for attack
DR.. Alex Gustafson said that the
addresses delivered by DR.. Lloyd had
been merely repetition of words
without any understanding of their
depth.
He stated that divorce is not caUs-
ed by lick of Christianity, but by the
industrial slavery that exists, and he
quoted the teachings of Christ in his
answer to the apostles that there is
neither marriage nor giving in mar
riage in Heaven as evidence that
two people who were unable to adj
just themselves to each other should
remain bound together because of a
few words that had been said over
them.
He advocated as the preventative
of divorce that men and women
should be taught just what they
would have to go through in matri-
mony before they were allowed to
marry.
The only woman who spoke con-
tended that it was necessary for peo-
pie to have an ideal toward which
they were straining whether the ideal
be called Christ or by any other
name.

SEEK COMMUNION WITH GOD
Only In the Divine Presence May
Christian Find Strength to Do
His Work II the World.

There cannot be a deep spiritual ex-
p~erience without seasons of earnest
and solitary communion with God. We
are to be thankful for the crises and
agonies that bring us face to face
with him. If we would have power
with God and spiritual influence with
men we must at times go apart from
the crowd and even from the dearest
of our friends. We must a;one seen
the infinite tenderness of the divine
presence, and in victorious surrender
prevail by finding union with the Fa-
ture of Imagination. 1t is not super
fetal content. 1t is not any phase of
dissatisfaction. It is the consecra-
ton of the whole nature of God. The
eternity Of ones heart cannot be salts
fed without the divine fullness. Only
by surrender and spiritual communion
with God can that fullness be obtained.
In real prayer the spirit of man finds
its Hottest exercise, its deepest de-
light. Heaven is in the divine will.
By communion with God we find
-blessedness as we'll as power. In
prayer the eyes of the spiritual I'M
derstanding are opened. The hum
blest devout soul becomes a seer. The
vision of God is the only adequate
preparation for the everyday duties of
life as well as for the sublimest re-
sponsibilities.

CURRENCY NO ONE DESIRES
TWo-Dollar Bill More of a Nuisance
Than Its Value Can Be Made
to Justify.

Countless persons who have some
zine or other accepted change for one
dollar for a ~two-dollar bill will be in
terested in the story of "Ole Prince"
Robinson, the colored barber in the
House barbershop at Washington.
When the sergeant-at-arms offered him
five So bills the other day as part of
his pay, Robinson waved them widely
away, declaring that every 81 bill car.
ries with it the Egyptian curse" that
he would rather break a looking-glass
walk under a ladder or turn back with.
out making a cross-mark than take
a 81 bill, because it was a sure sign
of i'll luck.
Whether there is an Egyptian
curse" on the 81 note or not, there has
certainly been many an American
curse put on it. 1t is the easiest thing
in the world, victims will tell you, to
pass out a two for a one and not dis
cover the loss until you begin search,
for that other dollar you had, but
haven't any more. A currency reform
that would eliminate the So bill and
the hoodoo at the same time would
be a reform that would save money
for generations to come.

WOMEN WILL PURIFY TOWN
Residents of Roscommon, ireland,
Take Determined Stand Against
LaWbreakers.

Prompted by a spirit of emulation, a
Roscommon have started a crusade
against the activities Of the liquor
traffic in that territory, says a Dublin
letter.
They have not yet adopted the anna
zonian methods of the women of Kan
sas, but there is no doubt they have
gone a long way toward modelling their
campaign on the best American lines.
The town of Roscommon has a
liquor saloon for every twenty of its
adult population, and the women feel
that this generous provision Of drink
ing facilities must be removed before
the place can be restored to a normal
state of sobriety.
They have therefore constituted
themselves a sort Of vigilance society
and for the last two or three market
days they have paraded the town look
ing for persons under the influence OF
drink, whom they promptly hand over
ON discovery to the nearest policeman.
They also mix among the customers
in the saloons, disguised in various
ways, and report the smallest breach
of the licensing laws to the local
judges.
What is more surprising is that
many of the wives and daughters of
the harassed saloonkeepers have
joined these new temperance cam
paigners. They feared the social os-
tracism that would follow a refusal to
act with the other women more than
the remonstrances of their husbands
and fathers.

First False Teeth.

Until little more than a century ago
humanity had to rub along without
false tech, Of which nowadays one
firm alone claims to sell over II, 600, 900
a year. One of the first successful ma.
kers was Giussepangelo Fonzi, an Ital-
ian dentist. who began practice in
Paris is 1898, and, thanks to his skill
full treatment Of Lucien Banaparte,
soon made his way. After a of ex-
pertinent he discovered the substance
from which artificial teeth are made,
and received the gold medal of the
French Academy of Science. One of
the earliest persons fitted with false
teeth was the empress of Russia. After
Waterloo, Fonzi migrated to London,
and then to Madrid, where Ferdinand
VII. rewarded him with a yearly pen
sion Of a thousand ducats for a set of
false teeth.

Golden Key of Brick.

Prof. Stephen H. Langdon, an Ok

ing here to examine the "Sumerian"
tablets in the museum of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. This heap Of
brick fragments is esteemed as of
more value than its weight in dia-

composed of what are known as Baby

He OF GREAT FAITH.
Sewer Who Dares to Go Fortf
Unquestioning, Scattering
Seeds of Truth.

Among all the figures which loom
out of the words of Jesus with a per
manent interest for is there is none
that is more significant than the SOW
er who went forth to SOW. Across the
field of imagination this toiler eve1
passes, never rests. With his bag
upon his shoulder, his arm forever
sweeping the half-circle as he walks,
and the seed forever falling from his
hand, he is silhouted against the hori-
zon of the world. He incarnates a
principal. He ~personifies a process.
He fixes in the thought of man the
way of God. Behold a sower went
forth to SOW. That was his task. He
did not make the soil on which his
seed fell. He saw the rocks, the
tborns, the thin soil and the hard soil.
He knew that much of his seed would
never fructify. He saw the birds as
they picked up the kernels after him.
Perhaps he even thought the birds
had a right to a share. Of course
he understood that sun and rain
would try the tender plants. He also
understood that the harvest was on
the other side of m He need
ed not to be told hat he must wait.
and that his seed must take it's
chances with all the vicissitudes of
seasons and weather.
Believed in the Earth.
But he trusted nature. In spite Of
stones and thorns and thin soil and
hard soil, he believed in the earth.
He believed enough to act. He was
not one of those who wait that they
may erv He took his promise from
creation. Beneath the variations of
the days and nights he felt the thrill
of spring. He rested in the deeper
processes. He had faith that all the
world would change beneath the &C.
centricities of wind and shower and
heat and light. And so he sowed.
And so he went forth to SOW, seeking
the soil in which to cast his prophe-
cies of future increase. Fol- all seed
sowing is prophecy. and all seed
sewers are seers who bide their time
in the promises of life. If there were
prophets there would be more
s~eed-sowing in the world. And il
there were more who understood the
law Of increase as 1t works every
where there would be fewer foolish
questions asked of those who SOW the
seed. For those who demand harvest
before the seed has time to sprout
and grow are spiritually near-sighted.
The noblest symbol of great faith is
one who dares to go forth unquestion-
ing, scattering seeds Of truth and
right and peace and love, knowing
that stones and thorns and unrespon-
sive soil are there, yet also knowing
that the earth is the Lords, that some
how seedtime and harvest are insep-
arabic, and that when the summer is
past the reaper will surely find fields
of %ripening grain where he sowed his
seed.-Universalist Leader.

pair of hands, but with the simple lit
tie continuance shown in our sketch,
this may be done with ease, and the
holder can be made in a few moments.
1t merely consists of a piece Of
board in which a number of holes have
been made and into which pegs (ordi-
nary clothes pegs will answer the pur-
pose) can be firmly inserted.
Two picture rings can be screwed
into the upper edges of the wood and
the holder can be hung upon the wall,
and in that case, the pegs should be
fastened in the holes at an angle point
ing upwards or the board with. the
skein placed round the pegs can be
held in the lap or on the table and
SO used, and the small sketch on the
right illustrates it in this position.
The object of having holes in the
board at various distances apart is
that the pegs a be placed at differ
ent distances apart, SO that the hold
er will take a skein of any size.

lew TAILORED SUITS
HAVE MARKED DlSTINCTNESS IN
CUT AND FINISH.
Departure From the Mannish Feature
Is Noted-Tendency to Drapery
on Both Skirts and Coats
Much Fur Mil Be Used.

Fall tailored suits will be character
lied by various eccentricities of cut
and finish. Occasionally a mannish
model is to be noted among the new
consignments, but for the most part
they are more on the costume order,
well tailored, nevertheless have a
more formal appearance than the coat
and skirt of other eason
Much fur will be used, and there
is a decided tendency to drape not
only the skirts but the coats, or at
least to have them hint of drapery.
Skirts are still narrow at the foot, but
usually have some %fullness, ~variously
arranged, at the top-that is, there
may be a few gathers distributed
along the sides only or acros the back
and front or strung informally around
the top, and there is usually a break
in the folds at the knee line or ankles,
caused by raising or lowering the ma
terial where it is attached to the waist
band. Generally this marks the tx
tent of attempts at draping.
Today's sketch shows a suit that
is typical of falls fashion. 1t is de-
veloped in the wedgwood blue velours
de laine, and has for trimming barsd
cuffs and a rolling collar of gray fox

SULzER GREETED
AS POPULAR HERO
Excited Crowds Give Wild Wei
come to 0usted Executive
CAMPAIGNS ON EAST SIDE
10000 Cheer Deposed Governor on
East Side After Swirl at Station
Guards Swept Aside-Ex-Gover-
nor and Wife in Tears.

New York.-William Sulzer, who
went from this city last January to be
the Governor of the greatest State in
the Union, returned to New York, re-
moved from his Office for high crimes
and misdemeanors, but he came not as
n convicted of corruption, but as a
conquering hero.
Over 10000 persons, gather at
the Grand Central Station to meet
him, went wild with delight. The
great waiting room there looked like
Broadway on election night.
From the moment his train arrived
until he had completed his tour of
the east side he was never deserted
by a big crowd of wildly enthusiastic
admirers who did not cease their hys-
terical shouts until he reached the
Broadway Central Hotel and had gone
to bed.
Through it all Sulzer sat back in
his automobile alongside his wife,
making no effort to check the tears
that rolled down his cheeks. His wife
cried with him. The doubts he felt
about the nature of his reception
doubts strong enough to make him
want to avoid putting them to the
test-were swept away, and when he
spoke it was plain that all of his
old-time self-confdence had returned,
and once again he saw stretching be-
fore him broad vistas of political
power he was to enjoy through his
hold upon those he delights to call
the plain people,"
He came off the train a haggard.
care-worn man. For the first time in
his carer he seemed to shrink from
a crowd. He was worried as to how
he would be met. But he straight
ened up and smiled a little when he
heard that great volume of sound roll
up in the big waiting room of the
Grand Central, and the smile grew
bigger and he became more sure Of
himself as the cheers showed no lack
of s~pontaneity during the trip down
Broadway.
The speech he delivered in the mid
die of the street where Avenue C is
crossed by Seventh street was, on the
whole, ~repressed. 1t was richer in
what he promised to say about Muir
ply and the bosses than in what he
actually said. But it was enough to
make his hearers frantic. And as he
c~onsecrated himself in characteristic
fashion to "the service of the people,
they rushed the a from which he
spoke, trying to get near enough to
touch him if they could not shake his
hand.
