SOCIETY KILLS CHURCH,
DECLARES EVANGELIST

Philadelphia, Nov. 3-The church OF to-
day Is in a bad way because It works
with euchers and social functions, rather
than with the spirit of Jesus Christ in
an effort to obtain members, according
TO DR.. Milford II. Lyon. who spoke al
the revival meeting in tho tabernacle al
Ninth street and Wright avenue, Cam
den.
THE churches are trying every means
to win people to Christ: by teas, suppers
socials. card parties and the like, but
without result. because they are not
working with Jesus" he said.
The truth of the matter is. the churches
OF the United States are in a bad way.
Their people have time for bridge games,
theaters. tobacco. liquor; In fact, any
old amusement, but no time for salvation.

President Wilson Has a Plan
Nearly Ready for Submis-
sion TO Congress.
MAY DISCUSS IT IN MESSAGE
Measure Providing for Commission to
Be introduced in Near Future
Necessary After War.

Washington, Jan. 2i.--Creation OF a
tariff commission, il was learned from
official sources tonight, has been de-
termined upon by the Wilson admins
tration. A bill providing for such a
commission will be introduced in Con
gress in the near future, and President
Wilson may discuss the subject in a
message to congress.
The duties Of the proposed commits
sion or board under the plan are un-
derstood to have been agreed upon by
administration leaders, and would be
to collect information regarding the
tariff and to coordinate similar pow.
ers now believed by President Wilson
to be held by existing government
bodies.
Would Safeguard U. S. Industry.
Aside from his belief that the tariff
always should be treated in scientific
fashion, the President has given con-
sideration to the situation which will
follow the European war, and has been
urged by many of his advisers that
legislation will be necessary to safe
guard Americas commercial and in
dustrial interests when that time
comes. In his last message to con-
gress he said:
Many conditions about which we
have repeatedly legislated are being
altered from decade to decade under
our more rapidly and more radically
in the days Immediately ahead Of us,
when peace has returned to the world
and nations OF Europe once more take
up their tasks of commerce and indus
try with the energy OF those who must
bestir themselves to build anew.
Must Keep Informed, He Says.
Just what these changes will be
no one can certainly foresee, nor con
fdently predict. They are not calcu-
liable, because there are no stable ele-
ments in the problem. The most we
can do is to make certain that we
have the necessary instrumentalities
of information constantly at our serY-
ice, so that we may be sure that we
know, exactly what we are dealing
with when we come to act, if ii should
be necessary for us to act at all"
When former Governor Cox Of Ohio
wrote to him some time ago suggest
ing that tariff commission be Great
ed, the President replied:
"The full powers Of tariff commits
sion are already lodged in the exist
ing organs Of the government; most Of
them and really more than the former
commission had, in the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce Of the
Department of Commerce and others
(powers of investigation, chiefly in
the hands Of the new federal trade
commission"
