HAS REMEDY FOR POVERTY,
Speaker Advocates Taking Fablit
Wealth for Public Uses

Denial Of the right OF ability of one
man to earn many millions in a life
time under proper laws was made by
Col. Martin Williams, reading clerk of
the House of Representatives. before
the Liberal Religious Union meeting last
evening In All Souls Unitarian Church.
Col Williams declared that God in
tended the bounties of nature for all,
and that poverty and misery are purely
the results Of social maladjustments.
There is only one remedy" he con-
cluded, after commenting on the great
amount of land held by few men in
the British Isles and in California, land
that is to take public wealth for public
uses. Take over the public utilities.
The single tax. as Henry George has
said. will help make al other reforms
easier"

NOT TEACHINGS OF CHRIST.
Minister Discusses Reasons Un
DERIVING War in Europe.

The world has never really tried the
ethical teachings Of Christ. and until 1t
does it is foolish for any one to talk OF
their failure or collapse, in connection
with the present great war. This was
the statement of Rev. Edward X. Har-
din, pastor of Mount Vernon Place NJ.
E. Church South, in his sermon yes
terday. The minister took his text,
'"rhe Firm Foundation of the Lord
Standeth.
This criticism. he declared, is refuted
by the metaphor that you cannot blame
the physician if you do not take his
medicine, and that the men who made
the war did not take the principles of
Christianity into their calculations.

RATHVON EXPLAINS
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Addresses Large Audience at Polls
on Belief of the Church
Membership.

Many beliefs Of the Christian Science
faith were explained by William r.
Rathvon, c. S. B., in a lecture at Poll s
Theater yesterday afternoon. The lee
ture was the fifth of a series being
given under the auspieces of the First
and Second churches of Christ. Scien-
tist, and capacity audience attended.
Mr.. Rathvon quoted the late Mrs. Eddy,
saying: "The habitual struggle to be
always good is unceasing prayer. What
desire for growth in grace. expressed
deeds"
Mr.. Rathvon said, in part:
I'VE are sometimes asked by the
man who is considering the claims OF
Christian Science with an open mind:
Is there any great difference upon es-
sential points between Christian
Science and other Christian denomina-
tions. So far as ! can see, Christian
Scientists believe much the same as
we do. We have the same Bible and
believe the same truths and I can see
no reason why / should go outside my
own church to get Christian Science.
Tell me one fundamental truth where
in they differ. Are they not identical
In all essentials?
Points of Difference.
There are a number Of points of di-
vergence, and a fundamental one is
the Christian Science belief in the om-
impotence of God. The Christian Science
Church not only teaches that God is
she only power, as other churches
teach. but it also insists that it's fol-
lowers put that teaching into practice.
This means that they are expected to
deny by thought and deed that evil. the
opposite of God. has any power or ac-
tuality. With them this is not mere
doctrinal theory or an empty assertion,
but an actuating, animating truth. To
declare that God is omnipotent and at
the same time admit that evil has pow
ed to confer pleasure or to cause pain
is to say one thing while believing
another. 1t is in effect saying that God
He is not.
Know the Truth.
at is sometimes wrongly alleged that
in thus denying the reality of EVIL
Christian Science confers a license to
sin. Never was there a greater m{s-
take. When a man gains an under
standing of the unreality of sin, he no
longer turns to it for pleasure or fees
from it in fear. This understanding of
the unreality of evil is attainable only
as we gain an understanding of God
as the only reality.
"A necessary step toward getting free
from the influence Of any kind OF a de-
ception is to know the truth about 1t.
A lie that is believed is as tangible
as the truth itself, but when you know
it is a lie you are free from its con-
troll"

WILSON ONE OF THREE
GREATEST PRESIDENTS
Col. Williams, Speaking in Balti-
more, Says He Ranks With Jef-
ferson and Lincoln.

Woodrow Wilson was lauded as one
of the three greatest Presidents the
United States has ever had at a suffrage
rally in the Garden Theater. Baltimore,
yesterday, by Col H. Martin Williams,
reading clerk of the House of Repre-
sentat1ves. The other great Presidents,
he said. were Jefferson and Lincoln.
Col. Williams called attention to the
fact that he has been making political
speeches for many years and has always
brought in arguments in favor Of grant
ing the ballot to women. AS early as
1861 he made fifty-five speeches during
the campaign of Stephen A. Douglas
Jackson II. Ralston of Washington pre-
sided at the meeting, and other speak
ers were Representative Raymond B.
Stevens of New Hampshire and Rev.
Olympia Brown of Wisconsin.
Representative Stevens reviewed sys-
tematically the arguments of opponents
of woman suffrage, as expressed in the
ment in Congress, and proceeded to re-
ply to them seriatim. The argument of
the ''antis'' that women could not serve
as soldiers or sailors he answered by
stating that not half Of the men who
presented that argument In Congress
could pass the army or navy entrance
examinations.
Plan to Pass Amendment.
Tho Church and Woman Suffrage"
was the subject of Rev. Mrs. Brown,
but she chose to depart from her text
and unfold a plan by which, she said,
she believed Congress could be con-
strained to pass the coveted suffrage
amendment This included first the en-
actment by Congress of a law permitting
women to vote for members Of the House
of Representatives, which, she said,
would not bring up the question Of states
rights After that, she said, the men
thus elected would not feel themselves
in position to ignore the wishes Of the
women Of the nation with respect to
nation-w wide enfranchisement.
She spoke of the much -hoped-for posi-
tion OF the United States as international
peacemaker at the conclusion of the
present war in Europe, and declared that
such a role for this country would be
ridiculous when ''in this country women
are slaves and when we have no real
democracy at ALL"
