The Rt. Rev. Charles d. Williams,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese OF

on The new social conscience be-
fore the Windsor Literary Ind Scien-
titic society, Friday night. He con-
trasted social conditions as they OBJ

the social lion In times gone by, the
hard working, honest and true work.
ing man of today was coming into his
own as dominant factor in society
he said. The ceaseless cry for social
justice from the pulpit of most
churches and platforms was driving
the idle rich from their parlors Of
seclusion and luxury to tasks Of ac-
tivity; the new social views of the
masses were creating new sense OF
duty in the minds OF the so-caled

that they must do something for
