BISHOP DEpLORES
SLIPPING MORALS
Critlcizes Use Of Rum and
Present Marriage Ethics.

Philadelphia. May 3.-Slipping of so
cial morality, especially in the ethics
OF marriage, defiance of the law DEi
bandits and those opposed to pfohibi
ton, were deplOred by Bishop Rhine
lander
He addressed the one hundred and
thirty-eighth annual convention OF the
Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Penn
Sylvania. which opened at Holy Trinity
Church.
RECOGNITION of women III the coun'
ellis of the church was urged by the
bishop in view of their achievements
for Christianity. His approval OF the
election of women candidates to toun'
ellis of the church and the election of
delegates To the general convention
al Portland. Ore. by preferential bal.
LOT was an outstanding feature of the
opening session of the convention
which closes tonight.
The bishops address was compre-
lensivc. touching on Worldwide affairs
other things, he said:
The present world Is III chaoS
political, commercial, social, economic,
because men have no fixed center OF
principle or truth They know not
what or whom IL trust. They are
swept by emotional desires, some OF
them high and noble. as, for instance,
the wish for stable peace. for social
Justice, for brOtherly cooperation. But
they dare not yield themselves 20 the
current of their aspirations. So they
make reservations: they are suspicious
and afraid: they are profoundly dis
rrustful of each other.
The conference in Washington and
the conference in Genoa have shown
In very vivid Way these conflicting
currents: the almost equal hope and!
fear which are sweeping through con
temporary life.

WHAT MAN WANTS

IT is said that man wants little
here BLOWOUT from the manner in
which they act they want that little
about as much as a chinch bug does
a succulent corn field in dry weather.
A man starts wanting things as
soon as he can gargle the inarticulate
"goo-goo" and from then on some
roma pets and pampers him no
matter whether it is first, second o!
intermediate childhood.
No matter how big 8 nan becomes,
physically or mentally, there remains
much Of the little child in his make
up
He MAY not play with a rattle but
he makes s Ford, he may not want

thst Is worthless, has in its makeup
IS mucA water as any steamship line
ever needed to navigate.
In his youth he fibbed and in his
age he does the same thing but calls
II tact.
He used to tell &fish stories" fol
the fun of it but now he tells then
because he believes he can get by
with them.
His wife has his number just a:
she possesses the license figure OF
the family car.
Whoever said that man wanted lit
,tle here below wasn't the wife OF an
man. You can't fool her with
statement like that.
While it is true that he doesn't a

THE Ledger is as heavily bonn

may possess merit as well as news
value. But the p~rodigality of the
mornings barrage is such that to sep
arate the good from the bad would
be an endless task. 1t has apparently
reached a stage where nothing can
speak for itself, but must needs to

SELF CONFIDENCE.

A MAN must have a certain
amount of self-confdence to succeed
but if he allows this quality to de-
~teriorate into s~elf-conceit he is paw
ing the way for an eventual fall
ure.
There have been hundreds of ex-
amples of this in every walk OF life
depicted by history Or recalled to
memory.
The line of demarkation between
these two qualities is so indefinite
that at times it is hard to distinguish
However a man should watch his
development to guard against the
mistake of becoming self-conceited'
1t was Napoleon's downfall as il
has ben that of many an other mar
who has forged to the very top only
to fail in the final analysis.
Sef-conceit is the hoodwink that
cuts off a mans vision, it is the
shackles which impede his progress
toward the horizon of new ideas and
ideals.
Self-confdenee is the stimulus tina
Dushes a man to never halt in hi
following the high ideals behind MI
success. 1t lends direction and con
serves his energy.
The difference between selt-conii
dence and self-conceit is plain We
manv cannot distinguish them. N
better test is that the former retain
its unselfsh interest in others WIN
the latter is devoid of human feelin
oxcant in a personal application.
