the church and pretend to be for the

unnecessary and could be prevented IL
the ministers were prudent and pains-
taking at the very incipiency Of the
fights"
You have much robust condemnation

women are as great a moral influence
In society as they used to beZ''
No They have fallen from the pedss-
tails on which they formerly stood be-
cause they have brought an immoral So
ciety into their own lives and have per-
mitted an immoral society to dominate
their thought and actions They are
slaves OF an immoral society. rather than
queens in the world OF purity and Chris
tianity.
"The immodest dress Of the women of
today-their slashed skirts and the ex-
posure they make Of their bodies-is re-
sponsible for much boldness and immor-
ality on the part Of men. The present
fashion Of dress Is an advertisement for
advances and causes men to regard
women with diminishing respect. Conn

ought to get that fact well anchored in

Making Heroes of Bad Men.
in my opinion. the women OF this
country are accountable to a large extent
for the increase of immortality among
the sexes They are responsible for the
double standard They reviIe women VITO
do wrong. but they tolerate the men who
cause the women to do wrong. Indeed.
they make heroes out OF such men while
they trample under their feet the victims
Of the very same men.
''Woman's inhumanity to woman makes
countless millions plunge into wrong and
ruin. Woman's inhumanity to woman is
a thousand times greater and more cruel
than mans inhumanity to man. II
women would stay within their homes
and make them perfect. would be loving
wives and devoted mothers. they could
possibly save the nation from the serious
dangers toward which they are rapidly

duties
I'VE talk about liberty and an equality
of opportunity. We talk about tariff re-
form. currency reform, and social justice.
We talk about Japan. Cuba, Mexico and
the Philippines. We talk about the purity
OF the PUBIC service But America needs
Christian mothers more than it needs
anything else.
Again I turn to the preachers. I hold
them blameworthy to a large extent fur
the stiffness. the idleness. the inso5riety
and the immodesty Of the women Of the
United States. Had they the courage to
speak like prophets they might bring the
women back to a sense Of their RESPONSE
bility.
This country needs revival II has
been almost a century since one swept

The sensational and unlooked-for Ian
guage regarding lazy preachers" used
by Rev. Mark Allison Matthews, ID. D.,
in an interview given aie nearly year
ago. which was printed In The WASH
ington Herald. is stin bringing hirS con-
gratulatory letters from all over the
United States and many parts Oh Can
ada
large number Il ministers, travel
ing in the Pacific Northwest lass gum
,ner, called on him at bis home in Seat
tie personally 10 indorse all that he said
about the Incidence of clergyme1 as
class.
There are 1900 elders in the Pres
byterian Church. DIR. Matthews holds
them jointly responsible with the min
listers for ''the materialistic condition
of the country and the slow growth of
their denomination.
Each elder. he says, orght-to bring two
new members into the church every
month. Taking the country as a whole,
the average. however. is less than two
a year. The 1900 elders. therefore. -are
Ioafing on their jobs as he phrases II.
and are rightfully chargeable with the
loss of about $4,000 accessions 10 Pres
byterianism annually.
All denominations, DIR. Matthews de-
clared. are triiing with God; are sitting
Under trees and in fence corners while
the ripened and ripening crop is going
TO ruin. He spoke Of Presbyterian min
listers and elders because he Is Pres
byterian himself and knows what is
occurring inside of his own church.
Hundreds of elders also wrote words Of
appreciation and confession to DR.. Mat
thews. They promised to do better In
the future. Good for you, brother" DR..
Matthews wrote back in some instances,
but send me an itemized account OF
your achievements for the Lord a year
hence"
Preacher without .Barrel.o
At the time DIR. Matthews gave me
his picturesque and robust facts and
opinions he was the moderator of the
Presbyterian Church and the highest Of
ficer in that branch of Protestanism.
Furthermore. he was and is yet the pas
tor of the largest Presbyterian congre-
cation in the world. More than 1000 per-
sons attend his Sunday services
When he went to Seattle eleven years
ago. he found a membership of scarcely
4GO; he has increased II to $500. He has
fifty ushers and seventy-one singers are
in his choir. So he spoke not alone with
authority but as a minister who has
marvelously developed all the churches
in which he has ever preached.
Moreover he is known far and wide
as a clergyman without a barrel" He
never delivers a sermon more than once
The manuscript, il he has put his words
into writing, is thrown into the fire at
the close Of each preaching service. A
barrel. he believes, is one of the instru-
mentalities of the devil because il helps
to make a preacher lazy and lazy
preacher even shirks when he goes down
upon his knees in secret prayer, though
he may stay down long time if a con-
s~Ff~r ion naY IN na hGfR fpf-
Il never meant to say" DR.. Matthews
told me in this, the second interview with
him, that all ministers are indecent.
Hundreds of them are working to the
limit of their strength and ability. These
are the men whose churches are growing.
