The Rev.. Or. MCKim, at Column
bus Day Meeting, Says Ideals
Have Gone AStray.
ALBANY A CASE IN POINT
State and Municipal Corruption,
Says Speaker, Also Tango
and Immoral Plays, Prove
His Contention.

The Rev. DR.. Randolf S. McKim. rector
OF the Church Of the Epiphany. in Wash
ington, told the audience at the Columbus
Day memorial meeting at the Bronx
Church House yesterday afternoon that
If Christians had done their duty this
country would not be afflicted by the cor
ruption and the poverty that are found
within It to-day.
Look" he said. "at the condition OF
society in this year of grace 1913. Look
at the municipal corruption in this city,
graft in state legislatures-look at the i'm
parchment trial now in progress in AL
bany and the things 1t has uncovered.
Look at our idle rich. their selfish
luxury and the social injustice that Srnds
so many thousands Of toilers in the dust
And then look at the anarchistic So
cialism that threatens us on every side.
Look at the decay of modesty, as
shown in the indecent dress OF many
women. Look at the shocking dances in
which our young men and women indulge.
Look at the awful tide of divorce that is
sweeping this land. Look at the state OF
our drama, which should be an agent of
uplift Look at the white slavery which
fills every honest mans breast with in
dignation. Look at the pessimism which
prevails. and which shows itself in the
suicides, not only OF men and women, but
OF boys and girls.
"If Christians had been even TO a mod
crate degree consistent in their religion
many OF these abuses would have been
impossible"
Bishop Ethelbert Talbot Of Bethlehem.

ration. No. East 10Th street, last night.
"The differences are caused by political

at the myriads OF Italians, many OF
whom are as sheep without shepherd.
Think Of the Slavs. Hungarians the Jews.
the Turks. the Irish. the Russians. who
make this city the cosmopolitan place II
is. Many OF these were weaned from re-
ligion in their own lands. What they
learn OF our religion they will learn from
personal contact with US. so Il behooves
every Christian to live his Christianity in
his daily acts.
There have been efforts-our govern
ment is making small one now In the
case of the Japanese-to keep from con-
tact with foreigners. II is useless. Tho
foreigners are in our country TO stay.
and the only way TO avoid the leprosy OF
what is bad in Oriental nations is TO
face 1t with the gospel OF Christ"
The Rev. Gustav Arnold Christensen,
president OF Bronx Church House, occu-
pied the chair.

history. He pictured the disjointed and
largely divided nation Of thirteen states.
lately colonies, emerging from the Reyo-
luton. They were united" only In name,
he said, even after the adoption Of the
Constitution. II required twofold
pressure to solidify these rival communi-
ties into a common nation.
They faced" he said, certain great
common tasks-the conquest of a CONT
nent the redemption OF vast waste OF
wilderness, the founding Of a new civili-
cation. These tasks demanded common
and united effort They did something to
draw the divided states together.
But common perils exerted an even
more powerful pressus than common
tasks The threat of foreign invasion
and subjugation lowered ever over the
distracted land. And it was that threat
that finally welded our unity. The quar-
Benjamin Franklin had long before put
so tersely. we must hang together or
else hang separately.
1T was the War of 1872 that first COM
pressed the states into nation. And It
was the great conflict of 1S6l-'65 that
finally cemented that national union in
aissolubly with the blood of heroes.
at seems to me that the history of our
divided Christianity in this land will be
found to be closely analogous to the hts
tory of our nation. We face great COM
mon task-the spiritual conquest of this
land for God and for Christ But We face
II with the divided hosts of a mutually
jealous and suspicious decentralization.

UnintelIisibIe Squabbles.

Take II abroad. What do our denomi-
national differences. our peculiar tenets
and practices. mean TO the Chinese or the
Japanese? What can they mean? The
theological squabbles OF the sixteenth
century are utterly uninteligible TO them.
THAT fact tx Illustrated In the attempt
TO translate our denominatonal names
into the Chinese language The Baptist
Church becomes The Big Wash Church
the Presbyterian. the Church Of Ruling
Old Men, while the Protestant Episcopal
Church was rendered The Church or the
kicking Overseers.' In desperation we
had TO abandon our title and take the old
historic name of the Catholic or Uni
versal Church Of Jesus Christ.
"Our missionaries are feeling these IN
surmountable difficulties Consequently
they are working out policy OF comfy
dividing responsibilities, arranging re-
gions Of work and spheres Of influence.
This same pressure is felt in the home
mission field"
Bishop Williams spoke Of western

materiallsm. Mormonism he called "a
great alien pagan superstition at the
heart of "A Christian civilization. In
trenched in ignorance. ruled by such
hierarchy as probably the world has
never before seen, an ecclesiastical power

A NECESSITY

There would be no need for
the rapid methods Of the
Thompson-Starrett organiza-
ton if they existed for spec
tacular purposes only.
But they do not exist for
spectacular purposes only,
they exist because they are
vitality necessary to the sue
cess Of the enterprises which
we are employed to conduct.
There is nothing SO inimical
to the success Of a building as
a waste of time in building it.
