Fashionable Audience Squirms as Rev .nr. Shipman Delivers
 Scathing Denunciation.
READS SENSATIONAL POEM
Consigns Coiners of Dirty Money to Hell's Deepest, Darkest

American prohteers were blistered fore and aft in a sermon delivered last Sunday morning by, the Rev. Dr. Her bert Shipman, rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth avenue, New York He also placed the torture brand on those who exploit labor in greed for gold
 The pastor read poem which he had prepared for the occasion, over which he placed as a title, "The Prohteer." It caused the fashionable parishioners to sit in hushed awe and gnash their teeth, for it hit many of those present He especially excoriated the $1-per-year patriots who remained at home during the war and made money by gaining in- side information and privileged oppor- tunities.
 If ever there is a thought which makes me bitter" said Dr. Shipman, 1t is against those who out of sacrifice and blood have coined dirty money" He likened prohteers to greedy human vultures" and crawling ghouls Dr. Shipman was in the overseas church held an Armistice Day ceremon- ial. Students of Columbia University who had been with the army in France were present by special invitation The poem read during the service gives the pith of the sermon It is quoted herewith as follows: You have decked your frowsy wives
 with borrowed splendors. You have hung your daughters necks
 with stolen pearls; Have you thought about the other
 wives, the lenders,
 Or the har10fc made fn decorate u0f1r
 girls?
 You have fashioned from the needs of
 sick and dying,
 From the souls of children pleading
 for the right, Ready cash today to do your Christ
 mas buying;
 Ready cash to pay your prostitute
 tonight
 You have coined your filthy gold from
 blood and sorrow;
 There are soldier graves across the
 fields of France; Whence the dead through you upon
 tomorrow
 Will rise to damn your profits with
 glance. All the deathless deeds worth doing
 and worth telling,
 All the things that noble men hold
 high and true, All but seemed to you for buying and
 for selling,
 All to serve a greedy human vu1ture
 you.
 Godl That better men should toi1 and sweat and labor,
 Bear the cross and climb up calvaries
 of pain; While the crawling ghouls that spare
 not friend or neighbor Damn the world to make crucible
 for gain. If in blackest hell o Lord, there be a
 blacker;
 If beneath the deepest pit, deeper
 pit; Not for harlot thief or coward stacker But for these, that blackest, deepest
 hell is fit.

Meanwhile the anti-tobacco crusade is we'll under way and some of its most ardent supporters are already predict ing victory at no distant day. Most of us are inclined to laugh when told that, ultimately, the use of tobacco will be taboo. So 1t was to laugh when national prohibition was first predicted. But, who is looriey now?

George represents the ministry on the

same as having majority of votes at

However. the separation OF the leg

lengths in America than elsewhere.
There are times when ii might be
highly embarrassing for a cabinet
