it is not in the power of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter "Why tho Churches
Fail" is of great interest just now,
when so many people are asking the
same question. The comments on this
letter are equally valuable, as reflect
ing the opinions of many others.
will venture a different suggestion.
Let us be honest enough to admit that
perhaps the cause of such apparent
failure may be found in the individual
and not in the churches. In other
words, that the opinions expressed are
excuses rather than reasons.
Our forefathers were poo-. They
were compelled to work hard even to
live, and the living was plain and
simple. These heroic Puritans, how
ever, were idealists OF splendid type.
Material success was only a part of
their ambition. Spiritual realities were
warp and wool Of their being, thinking
and hoping. There was sincere inter-
est in the church and what the church
stood for. They achieved a grand suc-
cess because with them the material
was secondary to the idealistic and
spiritual. Not to attend church and
not to DO vitality interested in Christ's
message Of pardon, peace, brotherly
love and salvation would have been to
them abnormal, worldly and unworthy.
Is this tho sentiment of the majority
of our people to-day? l do not so in
terpret it. Rather, is it true that
"Jerushun hath waxcd fat and kicked"
With the wonderful increase in our
wealth and material comforts, it is
not difficult to understand the altered
point of view and the changed thought
and purpose of our people. am speak
ing of the vast majority and not of
the sincere, loyal and clear-sighted mi
nority. To-day it is "eat, drink and
be merry" "wine, women and cigars"
"tho world, the flesh and tho devil"
In short, We have forgotten our first
love, We have lost sight of our Pole
Star, and in our bew1lderment we are
seeking to lay the blame on the
churches rather than to admit that it
lies within ourselves.
To lower the standard Of the church.
es, to introduce cheap and sensational
methods, hoping thereby to catch the
attention Of the shallow-minded, would
be to still further weaken the strong
est God-given agency we have for pro-
claiming tho simple message of Christ.
In the simplicity Of this message rests
Its power. If the story of the CALI
lean just as it is, without eloquence
and without varnish, does not appeal
by virtue Of its meeting the needs Of
humanity; if there is no response to
His glorious message of pardon, joy
and peace IF the soul of man does not
answer to the throbbing heart of AL
mighty love, then there is nothing
under heaven which will meet the
problem facing not only the churches
but humanity itself.
There is vast improvement needed in
the church. The measure Of this need
is found by direct comparison between
the individual and the Christ. The
improvement will be found along the
line Of simplicity, directness, strength
and faithfulness in proclaiming the

To the Muse

n MY queen, royalty heshed,
With tawny hair and binding eyes,
bring you an antelope loyalty meshed.
A fluttering, timid prize.
And though he was wild, till hill, till
hollow
His happy feelings no more told,
Now beckon or call, and he will follow
Your robe with flowing fold
Awkward, indeed, yet he'll try doing
With spring and speed for you, his
best,
To win your smile with his shy wooing,
And then at your feet rest.

The Madwoman

The Madwoman
A S WELL within her beloved skirts
n Like a great ship with sasls un-
furled.
The madwoman goes CALAMITY
Upon the ridges of her world.
With eagle nose and wisps of gray
She strides upon the westward hills,
Swings her umbrella joyoualy
And waves it to the waving mills.
Talking and chuckling as she goes
Indifferent to sun or rain,
With ali that merry company,
The singing children Of her brain.

The Forsaken Shepherd

The Forsaken Shepherd
THOUGH ike a spear-shaft was her
carriage,
She laughed at her own curious mind,
And, STOPPING, gave herself in marriage,
half-goddess to mankind
When blossoms showed the fields in
Maytime
She filled my esttage with delight,
A lilied wonder in the daytime
white glory in the night.
But when a summer evening trembled
With longing for the nightingale,
When closer the great oaks assembled.
And the dark crept up the vale,
From out the leafy heart Of quiet
There came hallooing, and hounds
bay,
And shrill horns, gathering up the riot,
Pealed and sped our dream away.
She rose, though l stretched arms to
hold her;
The woman faded, tho nymph came.
Powerless, I saw the night enfold her.
And the far-off torches flame.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
FREED AFTER LARK
Two Are Arrested After Visit to
U. of P. Dormitory in
Male Attire
DID 1T ON DARE, THEY SAY

Two pretty nineteen year old west
Philadelphia High School girls, who
were arrested for masquerading in men =
clothing in University of Pennsylvania
dormitory last night, were released with
reprimand by Magistrate Harris this
morning.
The girls were Ruth Higgenbotham,
5S12 Pentridge street, and Elsie Hal
man. 4201 Brown street. The parents
Of both girls appeared at the hearing IN
the Thirty second street and woodland
avenue station and testified that both
Ruth and Elsie had always been the
best of daughters.
In releasing them Magistrate Harris
declared that he would have given them
stiff sentence IL it had not been for
the pleas of their fathers.
The girls we're arrested after being
escorted from the dormitory by students,
and after their disguise was penetrated
by a gang of hoodlums, who ragged
them until the attention of the police
was attracted.
A bet and dare was given as the
reasons for the escapade by the girls
after they reached the Thirty second
street and Woodland avenue station.
They remained at the station house un-
til their parents arrived with proper
clothing.
The girls walked into the Lippincott
House. dormitory at Thirty seventh
street and Woodland avenue, shortly
after o o'clock. They passed the
watchman undetected and then made
their way to the second floor.
They were found by DIR. Robert, r..
MoplPy. graduate student OF the
University: Frank McCloSkcy, n dental
student, and two other students in the
Lippincott dormitory. Doctor Mopley
won the Croix de Guerre for bravery in
France.
They told the students that they had
bet, on dare. that they would visit,
garbed as they were, two students in
the dOrmitories. The students agreed
to escort the girls out Of the University
grounds. and. in order to avoid detec-
tiOn by the night Waterman, took them
through the Thirty third and South
streets entrance.
The girls were afraid to board a troll
ley car for fear of their being de-
tected and the students decided to take
them home. On the way home gang
of young men, who noticed the clothes
the girls wore, taunted them and u
fight ensued.
With the arrival of the police the
hoodlums disappeared. but the girls and
two of the students were arrested. AT
the station house explanations followed.
the parents OF the girls arrived with
proper clothing, a quick change was
made and the girls sent home.

ply all the more important Hamburg
American line trade routes, carrying u
growing volume of freight to Hamburg

poration, was present yesterday in New
York at Na meeting of the corporation :
directorate. Mr.. Chandler. a delegate

is now on his way to Chicago.
J. ii. Null, president of the Cramp
Company, was asked if the new
arrangements with the old Hamburg
American line would mean increased
production at the Cramp Shpyard.
Mr.. Null said although he was not
familiar with all the details of the new
arrangement. it undoubtedly would.

lows:

whereby for period of at least twenty
years the Hartman interests have
agreed to supply sufficient tonnage fly
