Mn Indignant today becnuso ot n public
F.ilick on their organization mn.lo by the
!L Dr. David M. Steele, rector of, tho
fLi.'.nni't Church of St. Luko nnd tho
I rtphuir. " I tl10 nr8t nt,ftck of llke

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.'"

STONEMM TO FORM
WOMEN'S AUXILIARY
Announcement Made That
Scope of Organization Will
Be Greatly Extended
I
Members of the Slonemcn's Fellow
ship today hailed with delight tho an
nouncement that a woman's nuTlllary of
tho big organization would bo formed In
tho early future. 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"

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.

Prof. Henry G. Walters Thinks Future Humans May Be
Able to Throw Thoughts on Dark Room Walls.
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.

VALUE OF BIRTH RECORDS

Desirability of Registration
Director. Zieglcr, of tho Bureau of
Health and Charities, desires that nil
persons born In this city who nra not
suro that their births aro registered In
qulro at Boom 517, City Hall, to deter
mine whether or not their names appear
on tho legal files.
Ha calls attention to the fact that In
ability to estnbllsh ona's birthplace ottcn
lends to financial loss nnd other diffi
culties. If the name Is not to bo found
on tho records It will be placed there upon
production of an affidavit from a family
physlclnn or from tlje midwife. Tho affK
davit of the motherland unothnr witness
will be also accoptcd uh sufficient proof,
of birth statistics.

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."
