Steele, rector of, tho fLi.'.nni't Church of St. Luko nnd tho I rtphuir. " I tl10 nr8t nt,ftck of llke Urac.er made nlnat tho club by an FrUcopftUan Clergyman. imm . wn known for somo time that tho fcl Whlp has not been hailed with dcllBht i. ,, Quarters of that denomination, .a, Rteclo I' tho first minister to volco theeplnloni of the opponents In a. public h fafment ' comparing tho fellowship movement to the "Wily" Sunday campaign, which he , ,ttsCked last winter with columns of nr "tides. Doctor Steele pays his respects to K jj, Rev, jir. Stono's propaganda. At tho ' Mine tlmo ho discusses tho valuo of tho 'rrMChlng Missions Hint has been In prog ress In the Episcopal churches of tho diocese of Pennsylvania during tho last wceX. and ctucstlons the good that might , come from the preaching of somo of tho " "popular" ministers who participated In IL . "Somo of these services have been so f,wll attended and somo eft this preaching h3S been so well done, while on tho other i hind at somo points tho nttendanco has tten so dlscouraglngly small and tho of- rcrt, so artificial and conventional ns to Isavo In tho minds of many tho open Uuestlon with regard to tho wisdom of ,Nlho nholo undertaking," writes uoctor 'Steele In tho monthly magazine of tho . rarlih. ! JlAPS "POPULAR PnDACHINO." He refers to the sermons by tho Ilev. Dr. Framan and by Ulshop Ilhlnolaiidor In the Church of St. Liiko and tho Eplph ny as a part of tho preaching mission, wring that "In so far as preaching of this Wnd Is concerned, too much cannot b tald In Dralae. It Is profoundly true that preachers of that kind will always Uve a mission uecnuso mey iiavo lor Ben a message." Then Doctor Steelo makes his uttnek on tho "popular" kind of preaching done during tho progress of the mission and drifts into his attack en. tho Stonomcn'a Fellowship. "There la a wholly other Kind (of preaching) of which the world is grow Ins weary," ho continues. "Somo of this Is done Ly so-called 'popular' preachers. To thrust this moro and moro upon tho people is only to drive thejn with moro and moro reason away from tho church. If this Preaching Mission in the Epis copal Church has been to any extent, or whatever It shall bo to that extent, ''a mere aftermath or afterthought or In 'the slightest degree an attempt to du nllcale or Imitate a kind of 'revival' cam- Ispalgn that wo had In this city last year In the form of a detrimental emotional debauch, It it a yielding to temptation, in attempt to count souls In terms of co many bodies and a lowering of the dignity of tho pulpit by employing, In stead of theological truth, religious con 'tlctlon, normal aids to devotion and stern ethical dlsclr-llno of right living, tho psy chology of tho crowd nnd such mere mob Bovcments as are meretricious." ; ATTACK ON STONE.MEN". , At this point Doctor Steelo makes his Uisault on the Stoncmcn In the following ords: "Incidentally, wo have not only hnd much ot this Bad sort of thing In the year that Is past; wo are having nil too much of It in another one nt present. The habits ot thought that this pscudo ' religious but wholly ridiculous movo I manifests or rather tho extent to which It Illustrates the fact that a movement mar proceed without tho aid of thought ('it all and with neither understanding nor enlightenment are tho methods of the cavemen, and tho placo where nil luch foregather Is truly, in tho language of the Scripture, a cava of Adullam. Ilcf erence and cross-rofernco to a couplo of verses hi tho ancient, Indeed ulmost an tediluvian, chronicles, to be specific, in the hooks of Samuel, will Illuminate this thesis thus- ' "Then three men of tho city enmo Into Blank in harvest time; and the troops of tho Philistines pitched In the valley of Itephalam. And litank was then in a hole, and the garrison of tho Philistines was then In Bethlehem. This man, therefore, departed thenco and es caped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brethren (they of this kind) heard ot l they went thither to him. And eery one that was In distress, nnd overv ono that was In debt, and every one thnt was , Discontented gathered themselves unto Mm; and ho became a cuptaln over them: and thern wwn with lilm nhnut nn ('hundred thousand men.'"

This announcement, to gether with tho recent announcement that tho' Fellowship would extend Its activities throughout the Btate nnd, per haps, throughout the country, leads churchmen to bcllevo that tho club will become so wide In scope thnt It may be come ns strong as tho largest fraternal organization. Prominent members of the Fellowship point out reasons for the probability that tho wlccs and daughters ot the members, now numbering moro than 110,000 In this city, would generally respond to In vitations for them to organize In tho pro posed nuxlllary. They say that the Fellowship has done so much to mako the homes of mnny members hnppy nnd comfortable since tho "Billy" Sunday campaign thnt there Is much thanksgiving nmong tho women ot tho Fellowship Men's families. Tho homes of many men, formerly drunkards nnd gamblers, that wero always In dis tress beforo tho husbands and fnthcrs Joined tho Fellowship, nro now worm nnd comfortable, nnd there Is plenty of food and coal. Tho fact that tho nctlvltles of tho Fel lowship nro to be extended to Include tho women beenmo known yesterday. KAISER'S "KULTUR" ARTISTS AUSGESPIELT Hundred and Fifty German Propagandists Here Lose Their Bulletin Board Jobs Ono hundred and fifty Germans walked tho r.trects of Philadelphia today, looking for Jobs. They wero the men, of course, who had been receiving salaries of from f 15 to Ji" n cck for butting Into curb- stono arguments In front of bulletin boards and standing up for old Germany. Thcro were 11,000 In tho country, appor tioned among tho various big cities, thcro having been 47G In New York, and their salaries aggregated ?13,O0O,O0O a year. Faney! But thoy'vo all been fired. Yes, Ger many has decided to nult trying to give America kultur treatment, just an Eng land decided to abandon thnt effort in 17W. Tho ngents of the Berlin Govern ment nro said to have followed this miShod. There Is nlways a crowd In front of war bulletins. Sometimes thero nrc fully three persons In front of a bulletin board watching tho returns from tho firing line. Into tho dense throngs a German agent would plungo nnd begin to nrguc. "I nm nn Amcrlgan citizen. I am a noltrnl. Hud I wand to zeo fair Way. Dlo Cholmans aro nod gedding a srrvaro teal." And so on. But It didn't pay. Amor'ca kept on making munitions for tho Allies nnd sending unkind notes to tho Kaiser, nnd so nil the curbstono orators wero fired. It's truo. Tho Now York paper states It.

Farewell Electric and Gas Lights THI3 man of the futuro will bo ablo to Hash his thoughts on tho wall of his bedroom. In fact every man will bo his own dynamo nnd It Is possible that he can shed enough light upon himself to mako electric lights unnecessary. This nomewhnt startling discovery has been mado by Professor Henry G. "Wal ters. He Is president ot tho Institute of Plant Ilcsearch, of Langhorne, Pn., and n former professor of psychology nt Hnr vnrd University. Ho also mado tho dis covery recently thnt plants nnd bugs had souls, and lis observations havo caused much comment. ' It was through his study of bugs that ho reached his conclusions concerning man. While thcro nro somo missing links hero and there In his latest deductions, they nro considered seriously by mnny In view of the fact that the Professor has obtained very practical results In his plant grafting experiments. To those who may bo skeptical concern ing the luminous man of tho future, tho scientist of Lnnghorne points to the fact that tho lantern II v, tho llre-lly and tho glowworm already shed their own light regardless of tho dominations of elec tric light companies, tho laws of man and politicians, Tho files, ho claims, havo souls which havo tho power to construct waves of lumlnlfcrous ether.

Mr A ftterftft' "AMTI3 his body could be properly radiated, It would be tho strongest nt his neck, which, tho professor says, would radiate 61 millimetres of light. Tho reason why tho eyes of a cat glis ten so Intensely In tho dark Is explained by tho Langhorno scientist. Tho cats, ho says, carry optical batteries capable of throwing waves of lumlnlfcrous ether a great distance. Tho long optic nerves In their heads nerve ns thr light wires along which tho (lashing light undulations nra conducted from tho cat's brains to tho Interior of tho cornea of Its eyes. Ferocious felines flash light ns a rulo much further than calm cats and can un cover mice nnd rnts at a great distance. This accounts for tho fact that the bad cat catches the most rodents. FINE FOR HUSBANDS. If men who drink could conccntrato the flashlights within them, for Instance, they could climb tho stairs nt night by turning on their own lumlnlfcrous ether and let their tired spouse steep content edly. By way ot practlcnl illustration Pro fessor Walters said "It Is very prohablo that It Is by means of the vital luminous optical nerve currents of the lumlnlfcrous ether In our own brnlns that wenro ablo to seo tho visual brain Images In our drcamj. But our fierce, wicked greed nnd dcslro for money nnd mcro physical nnd material property and the tyranny of ul tra conservative opinion keep men from giving these pscudo-splrltunl scientific fnct8 tho analysis they deserve."
