PRESBYTERIAN men HAVE
BANQUET At METUCHEN

IBy Evening News stan Correspondent
METUCHEN, May 1S-The lee
ture room of the Presbyterian
church was transformed into a ban
quet hall last night when the Mems
Brotherhood held it's annual meet
ing with a large crowd in attend
ance and a particularly fine pro-
gram which started with a delicious
supper served by the ladies of the
church. Two speakers of note,
abreast with the times, the toast
master and the Jazz Four of Me-
tuchen, all went to make up a sue
cessful affair which was the first in
the history of the Brotherhood at
which the ladies were present.
j. Weller Clark, president of the
Brotherhood, extended a hearty
welcome to all the guests and turn
ed the meeting over to Alphonso U.
Quint. chairman of the banquet
committee, who very efficiently fill
ed the Office of POSTMASTER.
A most interesting phase of the
talks were the entirely opposite
views of the same situations which
were taken by the main speakers,
both of whom are well known in
Presbyterian circles and men of
great experience and particularly
fine education.
Henry A. Wise Wood, of New
York and a large New Jersey manu-
f%acturer, and Rev. Albert Sheppard.
of Forest Hills, l.. L., both spoke on
economic conditions, the industrial
situation, the political situation, re-
ligious attitudes and for the most
part Americas position in the world
today.
Mr.. Wood. taking the stand of
America first. now and all the time.
right or wrong" who said his hobby
was american History" spoke from
the angles of the United States be-
fore the war, today. and tomorrow.
The speaker. while not condemning
other countries, was not sympathiZed
with in his views by the following
speaker when he said that America
is always in the right. Mr.. Wood
spoke briefly on the Japanese prob
lem and discussed the labor situa-
ton at length, saying that organized
labor at this time a all the work
of a big machine which, known as
radicalism and ~bolshevism. is trying
to overthrow the government.
Rev. Mr.. Sheppard took issue on
this last point, saying that no man
of questionable views ever spoke
under the auspices of this church
cAItpl lWlCS, ana that az bOill llillto
the men, radicals, merely gave their
honest view of the situation. Rev.
Mr.. Sheppard made a plea for
broadmindedness regardless wheth-
er or not the congregation agreed
with those who presented various
thoughts. The question of Bolshev-
ism, Americanism. the Japanese and
the Mexican situation should be
thoroughly looked into, according to
the speaker. for they are condemn
ed. Rev. Mr.. Sheppard, apparently
a strong believer in the League of
Nations. is of Welsh birth and in
sisted that all countries should be
considered in any nov and that
Americans should be willing to ex-
tend the hand of brotherhood to
every nation.
The dinner was greatly compli-
mented by the POSTMASTER and Mrs.
A. Humphreys and her assistants
who We're responsible for the cook
ing and serving received the appre-
citation of all the guests.

take has been made from the begin

There is no mans work. Men have
grabbed all the privileges, that's all,
and when they see a oma coming
along and demanding a little of
what is their due, and getting it, it
almost drives men mad.
Roman women had equal rights.
Women had equal rights in the time
