BEDFORD BUYS NEW HOME IN
 SUNNY SOUTH
Greens Farms Man Likely to Retain Beautiful Sunk
 en Gardens.

The following appearing in the Columns of the Florida Times-Leader of Jacksonville. Fla, brings the news that a well known resident of this vi cinity will shortly establish himself in the sunny South.
 F. T. Bedford resides in Greens Farms, has extensive business tn- terests throughout the country. He left his home some time ago for a tour of the South by auto.
 Mir. Bedford Is reputed to possess some of the most beautiful sunken gardens in this country. They adorn his residence at Greens Farms. and are annually visited by hundreds of New Englanders.
 As the article makes no mention of his intention to give up these treasures, it appears that his Fairfield county homo will continue to attract tourists.
 E. T. Bedford, of New York, presi- dent of the Corn Products Refining Company. having manufacturing plants in Chicago. New York. Pez--, Ill., St. Louis and Oswego. N, Y. with Mrs. Bedford and Miss Gladva Red ford, is a guest at the Windsor EJ~el, arriving in Jacksonville yesterday after a sojourn at the Mountain Lake club, in Polk County, where there is a colony of winter residents, com posed of men of affairs of the North.
 MT. Bedford had been in that sec- ton of Florida but Q short time when he appreciated the climate and sur rounding country to the extent of purchasing himself a. piece of land upon which he will erect 8 winter home to cost about $50, 900 and will lay off about six acres in surrounding grounds The site will De On the shores of the lake and Mir. Bedford and family anticipate many pleasant winter months at the newly establish ed home in Florida.
 MT. Bedford i9 interested in the Standard oil holdings and has been a member of the executive commit tee of that company, and also was di- rect;y associated in business with John D. Rockefeller, who lives In F1orida. having built a. home at Or rnord Lake.
 Mr. Bedford stated that now the war was over the United States had reached a great expansion in indus tries and there must be a reaction. First the cost of living will have to be reduced, He thinks the supply and demand will regulate this and eventually the labor wages will have to come down. The cost of living and wages, he added, had been away out of proportion and these must now find their leveL
 He believes the new eight-hour day for labor had come to stay. It would be beneficial as well as em- ploy a greater number of men. As an Illustration. his factories would work three shifts in the twenty-four hours, which will be an additional 23 Ia per cent. of labor.
 Florida, ssid MT. Bedford, was more attractive to him this year than any other season in which he had visited this state, and the climate all that one could desire. He had no idea of investing in property when he came here this winter but could not resist when he he'd seen the Mountain Lake club region, near Lakeland on Lake Wales

 Were the electric wires forgotten in the building of the new town vault? is the question that is beicg asked about the town hall at present. The vault is completed and the Hna1 coat of fine white plaster has been put on but no evidence of the wires and 1t will now be necessary to punch holes through the plaster in order to put in the wires.
 Elliott W. Peck, the architect in charge stated yesterday that it was alright the electric wiring would be taken care of but the question still is being asked.
 The remaining stock of canned goods left over from the work at the Canning Kitchen last summer were placed on sale yesterday at the town hall but on account of the rain only few people took advantage of the sale.

The Je,Uish attitude

The attitude Of the returning sol
der toward the tenets ofthe Church,
as seen from the Jewish standpoint,
was stated by Rabbi Alexander
Lyons, Ph. D., of the Eighth Ave
nue. Temple, Brooklyn, as follows:
''Dr. Clark, in his Social Studies
of the War; found a wide differ
ence in the men in the ranks, be-
tween what they had been taught
and what they believed. To their
credit be it said that they were
wiser and more fundamental than
their teachers. While they had been
cautioned against profanity, gam
bling, drunkenness and sexual I'M
morality as the cardinal sins, they
placed in this category cowardice,
selfishness, hypocrisy, disloyalty and
meanness. From the standpoint of
the religion l am privileged to
preach the soldiers were nearer the
right than the preachers. To the
Jewish conception the cardinal sin
that may be regarded as the tap
root of all others is denial or dis

Chaplain William E. McCord, major
and senior chaplain of the 9th Di-
vision.
'"The trouble" said Chaplain Ship
man, "is that most Of the church
workers are apt to think of the SOL
dier as a different being. There is
no need of differentiation. He is
just man, after all. But he has
gone through an experience that has
been denied to the majority of his
fellows, that is all. The soldier has
come very close to the facts of life.
You will find that at heart he is
sound. His code is not so very diff
ferent from that of the average man,
but perhaps he puts it little more
tersely and expressively. Perhaps,
after all, he has glimpsed a little
more Of the truth"
The Rev. DR.. L. Mason Clarke,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church on Brooklyn Heights, was
discussing the soldier in the course
of a sermon recently. He said the
quality of bravery undoubtedly has
presented the strongest appeal of all
the virtues, echoing the sentiment
of the answered questionnaires.
Then he told the story of Japanese
general to whom copies of the four
gospels had been presented. "When
the general had read the gospels, :"
said DR.. Clarke, che was asked what
New-York tribune., 1919-09-14

religion to save and faith to work."
Chaplain Lauchlan MacLean Watt,
Of the Gordon Highlanders and the
famous Black Watch, says:
"We have come through an earth
quake heave and have awakened to
the fact that there is, behind &C.
clesiastical disputings, the still, small
voice all the while. War, the short
stride between life and death, the
close breathing of the eternal, put
ecclesiastical controversies and dec
larations aside. You only see a
brother dedicated to death for YOU:
you give the symbols Of the broken
body and the shed blood of Him
who died to bring the immortal that
is chained to humanity in tune with
the infinite; and, tell you, you can
almost hear God speak in the ten
sity of such a moments culver Of
reality"
Chaplain Herbert Shipman, who
in civil life is rector of the Church
of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth Ave
nue., and who during the war rose
from a regimental chaplaincy to the
senior chaplaincy of the entire 1st
Army, was discussing the attitude
of the soldiers toward formal re-
ligion. He was in company with
two other chaplains that had seen
service with troops of the United
States army, one of them being
New-York tribune., 1919-09-14

known, however, for rarely q wear
passes without the issuance of a
book under his name. He is not
allied with either the High or Low
Church party, and many look upon
him as the successful compromise
candidate in case of deadlock be-
tween DR.. Stires and DR.. Manning.
Another rector whose name was
mentioned is the Rev. Herbert
Shlpman, who was chaplain of the
old lst Field Artillery, later the
1O4th. He went to France with his
regiment and was Immediately de-
tached by orders Of Bishop Brent,
then acting as senior chaplain of the

further his own candidacy, but his
friends have been very active in his
behalf. 1t is expected that he will
poll large vote from the start. DR..
Manning is recognized leader of
the High Church party in this coun-
try. In addition, he has a known
record as an administrator of large
affairs. During his incumbency at
Trinity he has established some
notable reforms, chief among them
being the abolition of pew rents. He
has been much in demand as a
speaker at civic gatherings. Before
the war little was known of his per-

no Will Be the Next Bishop of New York
Soon to Fill
Vacancy

A. e. +. Chaplain Shipman served
with great distinction as chaplain
of the Paris district, and then be.
came senior chaplain of the lst
Army Corps, later being made
senior chaplain of the entire Isl
Army. He is an eloquent preacher
and his war record may make his
the choice of the convention if the
choice does not fall upon one of the
three candidates leading at this
time.
Another man mentioned for the
post is the Rev. Milo II. Gates, rec
tor of the Chapel of the Interces.
sion. DR.. Gates was chosen as
bishop of the missionary district of
Cuba at the general convention Of
1913, but he declined tke post. The
tact that man has once been
chosen for a bishopric always fo-
cusses attention upon him when
there is an election in the diocese to
which he is attached.
The convention will vote in Two
sections. The clerical delegates,
and every clergyman in priests o.
ders canonically attached to this
diocese will have vote. The lay
delegates will vote en- bloc The
majority rule will prevail. Thus
if a parish has three delegates and
two of the three favor a certain
candidate, the third mans vote viii
be lost and single ballot will b
cast for the choice of the majority
Where there are only two delegata
and with differing opinions the vos
OF the parish will be lost.
1t may happen that the Law dele
gates will be overwhelmingly bl
favor of candidate that the clerul
do not ballot for at all-or vin|
versa. Until the two houses can ri
turn majorities for the same ma|

regard Of those ideals and prac-
tices of life which derive logically
and irresistibly from the thought
and consciousness of God as a Su-
preme Being of moral perfection.
"Accordingly, to be guilty of
cowardice, and thus lack vision Of
faith, to be selfish and thus crowd
God out of ones being, to be hypo-
critical and by implication assume
Gods ignorance or Indifference; to
be disloyal and deny His constancy
and reliability, and, finally, to be
mean and imply His pettiness, would
in Judaism be tantamount to the
commission of cardinal wrongs. In
brief, my religion would class any
wrong as cardinal that contravened
its conception Of the perfect wisdom
and power and morality Of God.
when DR.. Clark contends that
old creeds must be adjusted to new
spiritual ideas and impulses he is
right, but this involves no dread or
difficulty for Judaism, which, as ex-
emplified in its supreme teacher
and prophets, stresses spirituality
expressed in morality as the unquali
fed minimum of religious life. The
trouble heretofore has been that the
world has had too much organization
in religion and too little religion in
organization"

that were not Catholic liked it and
backed it up.

right, good-give-a-damn way these
men practised their religion"
Chaplain Duffy does not empha-
size the fact, but it is worthy Of
emphasis, that the soldiers did not
talk about their religion-they prac-
tised it.
The Rev. Edwin S. Boyer, who
served as chaplain Of the old 311th
Infantry, tells Of an attempt to hold
church services in the face of inter-
ruptions by the noise Of the driving
of tent pegs and the loud swearing Of
the sergeant in charge of the detail.
He demonstrated and-well, let him
tell the story.
"The sergeant's reply was not ex-
actly blasphemous, but it was point
edly to the effect that our Job in
France was to lick Jerry and not to
waste time on old women's stuff
meaning church services. However,
he did call his men off.
"When the services were over I
went to him with the idea of smooth
ing out any resentment he might

urgent the call might seem. For a
time the candidacy of DR.. Stires was
dlsregarded, out of respect for his
expressed wish. But he has been
absent from the city for a long
period now, and in his absence
churchmanship lines have been rath-
er sharply drawn, with the result
that the movement to seat him in
succession to Bishop Greer is strong

the benefits of Church aid at the
front. He admitted that he knew Of
the existence of the Bible and had
heard Of a God, but he added that he
had no time to bother with such
things.
"That, remember, was back in the
training area, and many of the men
felt as he did.
~ began to notice a change as we
moved up to the front, and by the
time we had done our bit in the St.
Mihiel drive it was quite marked. I
observed a remarkable optimism
throughout the ranks. The spiritual
side of the boys showed more def
nitely as they were face to face with
the basic fact of death. Still, the
sergeant went about his duties with
out any noticeable change until we
had reached the Argonne.
when we took our places in the
line the fighting had been going on
for some days and Jerry was giving
us all he had. Naturally the losses
were severe, and one of the real
problems was to bury the dead.
Eight or ten bodies were lying out
in front of us, and it became abso-
lutely necessary to recover and dis
pose of them. So at night we start

there was q canonical prohibition
against the division Of a diocese dur
Ing an interregnum in the Bishopric.
In addition, there was some con-
troversy over diocesan funds.
The rural churches held that they
should be permitted to share squally
in the general funds of the diocese,
but the rectors and vestrymen of
the churches within the city held
that, as the wealth Of the diocese
had come largely from the city
parishes, 1t should be distributed in
proportion as it had originated.

~ new Bishop of the Protes-

tant Episcopal Diocese of
New York will have been
elected in succession to the late

A special session of the diocesan
convention has been called for next
Tuesday. 1t will meet in SYNOD
Hall on the grounds of the Cathe
dral Of st. John the Divine and will
remain in session until an election
has taken place.
There are three leading candi-
dates 3or the Bishopric. All are
rectGrs Of large city parishes and
the best informed men In the church
Took for the choice Of one Of these
three clergymen. They are the Rev.
Ernest NJ. Stires, rector Of St.
fhomas's Church; the Rev. William
a. Manning. rector of Trinity
Pa1ish, and che Rev. DR.. Charles L.
Hlsttery, rector Of Grace Church.
Bishop Charles Sumner Burch,
lu6ragan. has been mentioned and,
Il the votes Of the rural parishes
coutrolled the election, would be
chosen on tho first ballot.
He is moro than sixty years old
and It IL tho sense Of the majority
of tho delegates, 50 far as an in
formal canvass disclosed, that q
younger man, with . promise Of
greater length Of service, should be
chosen.
Bishop Burch was mentioned
come tme ago for the Bishopric Of
ths proposed new diocese to be
made up Of the parishes outside Of
tho city. The movement for the d.
vision Of the diocese gathered great
force until It was discovered that
