Rx Assoclated Presa

Richmond, Va, November 6.-Voic- ing regret at America's rejection of the treaty of Versailles, conviction that Great Britain and the United States anticipate no possible conflict on the Atlantic, doubting the wisdom of naming United States senators on the American commission to the dis armament conference, and voicing his approval of alliances. if they are necessary to avert wars. Congress- man Andrew Jackson Montague, of the Third Virginia congressional dis trict, this afternoon, in the city au- ditorium. addressed gathering of $500 men and women, who, by their presence, indorsed the disarmament conference which convenes in Wash ington Friday.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT BIBLE LECTURE
J. A. Bonnet of New York Speaks to Large Crowd at
 the Jefferson Theatre

An audience that filled the Jeffer- son theatre was present yesterday afternoon when J. A. Bonnet of New York, under the auspices of the Inter- national Bible Students association, spoke on the subject, "It Is True That the World Has Ended. and That Mil- lions Now Living Will Never Die"
 The speaker said in part:
 When the apostle speaks of the destruction of the world, he does not have reference to the physical earth, which abideth forever but to the social and religious arrangements. One such order of things passed in the flood. The trouble and distress in the world today are incident to the passing aNay of what the apostle designates the present evil world based upon selfishness and iniquity. The fire of Gods jealousy Is mani Tested in the conflicting and oppos- ing factions of earth
 "Tne scriptures teach that the harvest Is the end of the world. and therefore that the Lord would be present during that period. The Lord is now present, though unperceived
  aware of His presence-they see Him, not with the physical eye, but the eye of faith.
 We have in the past misunder- stood the scriptures relating to our Lords second advent largely through the mistranslating of the Greek word 'parosia. This word Is almost in every instance translated coming, while its true significance Is pres ence.' Therefore, correctly rendered, the deciples' query was, What shall be the sign of Thy presence and of the end of the age?' indicating quite clearly that He would be present do- ing His great work of harvesting, but unseen and unknown by the world.
 "The Gentle times was period of 2,520 years, beginning with 606 B. C., and ending, therefore. in 1914. As soon as this lease of control ter minated, the nations of earth. repre- sented in the toes of Nebuchadnee- zar's image, began to break one an- other down. In the great war no na- tion really gained a victory-an of them are today practically bankrupt.
 "The new order of things now be- ing ushered in Is spoken of as "a new heaven and new earth Ca new re- ligious and a new civil arrangemenD [. based on justice and righteousness. It will supplant the present iniquit- ous and selfish order of things. Un der the new social order justice will be laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet.' and it will. no longer be true that each mans hand Is, against his neighbor.'

'DR. MACSPORRAN
 ON I'M THE JUDGE"

Preaching from the subject, I'm the Judge" at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning. Dr. J. A. MacSporran brought out the indi- vidual responsibility of everyone to judge all things by a spiritual stand ard. He had for his text l corinth- ians, 2;15. He that is spiritual judgest all things"
 Referring to popular dlstrust of spiritually minded men in everyday affairs, pr. Macsporran stated that when such a one does make an ex- oursion into mundane fields he Is openly or secretly told to mind his own business. For there are those who resent q minister applying the truth of God to local of personal matters. They call him visionary, idealistic. impractical" he said. What they want Is truth shot not at them. but over their headsi"
 Dr. MaeSporran then dwelt on how in the long run the spiritual mans Is the practical judgment how he las a grasp of the unseen verities where- by he can know when the material ist can only grope and guess.
 Such a man Is not man with his head in the clouds, but a man who sees through the clouds" said pr MacSporran. "Nor does he accept the opinions of others merely because he considers them better educaRd or better informed than himself. He does make mistakes, but this spirit uality brings wisdom. capacity for rie of tude.
 We need to recover our moral self-respect. a sense of our own re- sponsbility. Public opinion Is only where you find men and women with this conscience in their souls. We arc called to be judges of all things. You must not evade or give excuses. And you can be guided by the moral signs as you would the physical signs of the weather. You can tell when certain people are go- ing to crash. For you know the. laws they are breaking. You know they are riding to inevitable disas- ter. We see people going to the devil for happiness sake because they have never thought 1t through.
 We should judge the whole mat ter of the making and use and spend Ing or money Dy splIiludi stdhu<hi NS' In this connection we have the spec tacle of classes of young people be- ing developed who are truly the dan gerous classes, all self-indulgence and no self discipline"
 Yet, whatever the drift of so- ciety, for each man or woman there is but this: I'm the judge: I am the captain of my own soul And he who evades passing moral judgment Is not a spiritual man .
 In closing he declared, "The Pres byterian church does not tell you what you shall and shall not do. You are the judge. The responsibility IS yours alone with this church, we leave 1t there, just where God left 1t at your own doorstepf

 APPROVE ADMISSION OF WOMEN DRAGONS
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, November 6.-Admis- sion of women to the dieaconate in the Episcopal church has been ap- proved in principle by the special commission on deaconesses appointed by the last general convention of the church held in Detroit in 1919. 1t was announced tonAght by the Rev. George L. Richardson. member of the commission. Recommendation will be made to the next general convention of the Episcopal church in the United States which meets in Portland, Oregon, next fall, for adoption of new canon providing for an order of deaconesses and adding to the prayer book a special service for their ordination.
 Under the recommendation of the commission the deaconesses would not have the right to preach, but their duties would be limited to the general character of work done by the deaconesses in the early church, including social and community service, missionary efforts and hospital work.
 The action of the commission, MT. Richardson explained. puts into ef- feet the decision of the Lambeth con ference in Londan last year.
 This conference, composed of the entire Anglacian communion throughout the entire world, decided that the diaconate was the only order of the ministry to which women were eligible.
 The decision of the special com mission to award canonical recog- nition- of the deaconesses by giving them defined and official place in the church's ordained ministry. Mir. Richardson said. Is viewed as a. big step forward by those who have been advancing women's claims for a place in the ministry.

TWO MEN CRUC|F|ED
IN EASTER SERVICE
TIED TO HUGE WOODEN CROSSES
BY RELIGIOUS FANATICS
IN NEW MEXICO.
At the End of Two Hours the Victims
of Rites of Penitentes Are
Taken Down, Exhausted and
in Critical Condition.

Albuquerque, n. Nit has been
learned here that two men were cruci-
fed at the Penitente village of Abiquiu
in northern New Mexico on Good Fri
day in observance of Holy Week in
rites performed by members of the
Hermanos de Luz, Brothers of Light,
a religious order. This information
Gustave Baumann, artists of Santa.
Fe, n. NJ. who arrived here Tues
day.
For more than half an hour the two
men were tied to huge wooden crosses,
at the end of which time they were
taken down bleeding and exhausted,
reports said. Their condition is I'M
determined but believed to be criti-
cal.
The Penitentes, MS the Hermanos
de Luz are commonly known, are fast
disappearing. They have, however,
played conspicuous part in the his
tory of the Spanish southwest. The
principles of the order were said to
,have been brought to New Mexico
from Mexico and to Mexico from
Spain. The order, according to its
priests, has descended from the So
called whipping brothcrhoods estab-
lished by st. Anthony of Padua in
Italy.
Public disapproval of cruel practices
in connection with their religious
rites has made the Penitentes wary,
and it is with extreme difficulty that
are able 10 witness their
ceremonies. At Abiquiu, however.
were able to see the long
professions of flageIlants on Good |
Friday, who whipped themselves with |
thorn whips dipped in brine water. |
while one of their number carried Il
heavy cross, and later to witness the |
