41 wjwMWm EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1919 13 -v rays OLD AT 70 YEARS, QUITS I The Rev. George S. Ga3sner Be lieves That Younger Man Should Take Up Work IS SEAMEN'S MISSION HEAD "Self deception is tin1 most dangerous if nil deceptions" wijs tlip Iter. George f). Onssner. superintendent of the Sca inon'R Church Institute, who tliluks ' Hint seventy years it the proper retire ment nee mill refuses to permit anybody i to rail him ycTung. , Bo nfrnid is Doctor Gnssner that he may Mny longer on the nctlre list that . lie Is resinning his Job nt sixty-nine and inJiis resignation will take effect today. "No. sir. he commented, l nnve seen too many old men who thought they were still young. Don't make any mistake. I nm not going to stop work, hut I nm going to leave the respon sibility to younger men and do the kind of work I know T can do." For twenty years Doctor Oassner has been In charge of the institute nnd dur ing this time more than 500.000 seamen have come to it from all parts of the world nnd enjoved the comforts of the reading room and the entertainment furnished them. Floating Parish His parish is n real floating parish, with men comiug and going constantly, sometimes returning nftcr many years and sometimes disappearing without any word. "Sometimes the families of the people who used to live near here bring their children to be baptized or confirmed In the old church, but for the most part the parish is made up of men of the sea. "Some years ago there was an Irish man, a steward on one of the ships, who used to come to the institute regu larly. His name was O'Rricn. Sud denly he disappeared nnd we didn't see him for several years and some one brought us word that he had sunk with his ship In the Mediterranean. Then, one time, he walked in on us and we couldn't believe it at first. 'My goodness. Tim. I thought you were at ' the bottom of the sea,' I said, but it seems he wns rescued. "Oh, yes. It had been nn interest ing twenty years, but T nm glod to retire." Doctor Gassner has succeeded in getting between fourteen nnd fifteen thousand men to sign the pledge dur ing the last twenty yenrs and lie is confident that thousands of men who are enjoying last-minute indulgence will he thnnkful to have the temptation re moved . Still io Preach The retiring minister will not take iinotlier nctive charge. He will soon ave for Taston. Md., to act as a .simply in the first parish that he served thirty-six years ago. He will maintain his home nt 401U Powelton avenue. He is much interested In the wave 'if spiritualistic thought that is passing over the world nt present, although he is not n spiritualist. The writing which lie expects tolo will probably include es says on psychological subjects, as well as historical sketches. "There is tremendous renlity in thought transference," sajs Doctor (Inssner, who has enormous faith in the subconscious memoryand the ability to communicate between minds. He does not believe in the communication of spirits withiortals, however, from the evidence that has come to his atten tion. The institute is installing a cafeteria and is working on plans to provide a inrger building. The Rev. P. K. Stoqkman. of Gloria Dei, will tnke Doctor Gnssner's place temporarily until a successor has been found.

UASSNEIt CALLS PRESIDENT SOCIALIST Bishop Neely Also Says League of Nations Means Death of Nations "The league of nations means the dentil of nations," said Dishop Thomas D. Neely in n five-minute talk before the joint meeting of the Protestant Ministerial Associations of the city, yesterday. The meeting took plnce at the fjeeond United Presbyterian Church, Sixteenth and Knee streets, and con cludes for the summer the Mondny meetings conducted by the various min isterial associations. "President Wilson is the greatest politician thnt ever occupied the White House," said Bishop Neely. "I used to think him n scholar and a statesman. Now I believe him to be a politician nnd a Socialist. "If this league of nations goes through in its present form, the whole world will be governed by five men mid there will be no more nations. The future destinies of the world will be regulnted by this league. I Iiavc-nlwayH been bitterly opposed to it, and now I nm even more so." Bishop Neely voiced his opinion nfter the address by the Rev. Abdel Ross Weotz, Ph.D., professor of history nt the Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg. Doctor Wonts, the speaker of the oc casion, spoke on "Religion nnd Na tionality." The executive committee of the joint associations adopted a resolution in dorsing the Rev. T. T. Mutchler in his fight for the preservation of the "Sun day blue laws." Nearly 100.000 persons were given the opportunity yesterday to nid in com piling nn nrcurntc and complete record of Philadelphia's man-contribution to the wnr. Yesterday wns the day vet by the Philadelphia Council of National De fense for collecting the diitu blanks that were supposed to have been dis tributed by the police in over) section. But in some cases the hlnnks did not reach the houses of the scrvire men within time n make n painstaking re port possible. Therefore it will probably take a week before completeness and accuracy have been welded into ns complete a rec- ! ord ns the council is making an effort to get. The house-to-house canvass by the police was thought to be the beat nnd I most efficient way to place a blank In the hands of every family. Any one who has been overlooked should npply in person nt once to the offices of the cottn- cil in the Liberty Building, nt Broad and Chestnut streets, or send a self addressed and stnmped envelope for the number of blanks needed. A separate blank must he filled out I for every mnn. nnd records are wanted whether the mnn in question served with the American forces or in any branch of the service of the Allies. This, however, npplies only to American citizens. Joseph Chilton, of li22 Mount ver iion street, a gunner's mate in the navy, has the longest service record of any yet turned In. He entered the nnvj in 1S87 and was retired last .tanunry. The Schearo family, of 102-1 Watkins street, sent in ivcords of four brothers, fourteen, eighteen, twenty-one nnd twenty-six enrs old. The two young est served in the navy nnd the others in the army. In many cases, especially In South Philadelphia, policemen were not suc cessful in delivering the blanks becauso the occupants of many houses have been wnrned by the Tenants' Protective As sociation not to receive notices from con stables and others who mny be Inter ested in raising the rent.
