GOOD Done
BY PROTESTANTTSM
Mrs. Wiles Talks on Reformation at
Missionary Union Meeting.

Professionalism gave the world univer-
sal education, liberty of thought and the
right to read and consult the Holy
Bible" said Mrs. c. p. wiles, of Phila-
delphia, yesterday afternoon at the meet
ing Of the Woman's INSTRUMENTATION
Missionary Union during the monthly
meeting held In the auditorium Of the
Public Library.
Mrs. Wiles chose as her topic What
Professionalism Has Done for the World"
and spoke upon the Reformation and
Martin Luther" In the early days the
clergy were the only apostles of intelli-
gence, and forbade the translation Of
the Bible into the vulgar tongue. Con-
sequently we owe to Professionalism the
right to Christianize the heather. and the
right OF the individual to be an apostle
OF the gospel
The right of the public to participate
In public worship is another great gift
OF Professionalism. Time and time again
Luther solemnly protested against the
exclusion OF the public from these par
ticipations and with the result that not
only as the public permitted to take
an active part in the religious activities
Of the churches. but the first public
schools allowing freedom OF thought and
exchange Of ideas grew out Of this move
ment.
Professionalism already has proved that
the evangelization OF the world Is not
the privilege Of a select few and the work
OF the pioneer missionaries who first ven
tured in foreign lands would have been
greatly hampered II Professionalism had
not given the world the open Bible and
facilitated the education of these mis-
sionarys in the gospel
BY securing freedom Of thought Pro-
testantism has immeasurably aided SCI
ence by permitting investigations in lines
heretofore forbidden and thereby open
ing the realm of discovery. medicine, as
tronomy. literature. poetry. To Protes-
tantism we owe the individual con-
science" religious liberty and the right
to consult freely the Bible and the Al
mighty as our conscience dictates"

Treasury Department and the Congress
sional committees place different esti-
mates on the expected deficit. Secre-
tary McAdoo estimated the deficit would
be SIS, ,5s3. 900. while the figures Of the

As an additional means of raising reve-
nue. plans are now under consideration
for a tax on articles of food In cold stor-
age throughout the country. The tax
would not be charged until the products

Revenue experts believe that such a

the high cost OF living but at the same
time prove to be Of great help in pro-
vidlng for the expected deficit.

Stamp Clerk Must See Each
Letter in Mexico.

Mexico City, Mex, June 90
Many curious conditions are to b.
encountered in Mexico during thi
revolutionary period, and eacl

In this city Of half a million in
habitants, and the capital Of thu
nation request at the genera

is prohibited). You must show
the letters and papers you are
wishing to mail, then tender the
exact amount in change (paste'
board tickets) or keep your letter
until you are able to do so. If you
wish a 10-cent stamp you cannot
buy it with 20-cent ticket-and
no reason is given for this ruling
but the street has it that it is be-
cause of the use Of stamps by some
of the business houses for change,
as business is exceedingly diff
cult on account of the scarcity of
fractional currency which the gov
eminent fails to provide.
A merchant has his prices fixed
on goods at the basis Of a eur
rency worth 2 or 2 1-2 cents on
the dollar-suddenly new paper
is forced on the public declared,
by fiat, to be worth 20 cents and
of forcible acceptance at that
price, and merchants are forbid
den to raise their prices or to
withdraw their goods from sale,
which results in compelling them
to accept less than one-fourth
their price for the goods.
The commercial taxes are paid
every month, but the quotas are
fixed at the beginning of the year
50 that business expenses may be
calculated ahead and provisions
made to meet them. On April ~
3, decree was issued doubling the
axes due only two days ahead
With not the least excuse for so
LONG.
notwithstanding all the incon-
'eniences, hardships and Unjust
crS to which the business public
las been subjected, for the alleged
purposes of lowering prices, they
re advancing every day, the pa
'er money is steadily dropping in
rice and the situation is becom-
ng more difficult, showing the
rouble has a deeper root than in
he cupidity of few spectators.
