Recall Incidents 90 Years Ago
And the Seeley Dinner Furor

"It would be easy to show the really
cleaner moral atmosphere of this particular
city by referring to several dirty Incidents
that happened here thirty years ago. There
was then tremendous noise made over
these unpleasant Incidents and the effect
has apparently not worn away. A good

man celebrating his bachelor supper treated
his guests to the spectacle of naked girl

This Is my view Of the responsibility
of the church, responsibility not to be

Bishop Gailor lit a cigar and said that
he thought he had said enough, that, In
fact, he had already said more than he in
tended to at the beginning. Yet when he
was asked TO prove his preference for par

did so.
"The world Is not bit more wicked

said, "and In fact, since what people call

peal TO me. We each see our little coterie,

apt to think influences the vast globe. That
poor lady whose daughter had to buy at

of her own hangers-on, and / fear she ex-
hibits but little dignity.
For my part I've never had any special
experience with the social conditions you
outline all know is that the Episcopalian
Church members are spending more money
freely for their religion than they ever did
before and this is straw to show that
their interest increases rather than dimin-
ishes, because this money Is spent altruis-
ticaly. The pew owner In St Thomas's
or In any other beautiful church who enjoys
the cushioned seat the fine music, all the
so-called luxury of his environment, and
pays for these things, Is getting only his
quid pro quo. He is not to be censured nor
commended. But what he pays In contri-
buttons to China, to Japan, Liberia, Hawaii
is outside personal comfort, and the money
he gives to sustain the social service work
Of the church represents what he Ia doing
for his religion.
And the Episcopalian Church is spend
ing two and one-half times as much In these
ways as 1t ever did before. Does this indi-
cate less interest or more being taken In
the church? All, tell you that when

But believe stanchly In the future of this

belief The only hopeless condition OF hu-

self-complacency.
THE church has TO fight and fight all
the time That's the law OF her life. When
she stops fighting she won't be alive.

"My examination has been chiefly femi-
nine, for 1t seems that our young women
have come In for most Of the criticism.
Their style Of dress has been the target for
all sorts of shafts, some of them malignant.
I have nothing sensible to say about the
way these young women attire themselves.
Their short garments came from the condi-
tions of war and have remained short,
think, because of greater freedom. 1t Is a
pretty style when carried out modestly by
the modste and worn In the same fashion
