Clergymen and Laymen Speak Upon This Subject and Its Kelation to the Church—A Diversity of Opinion Manifested—Did Christ ‘Teach Socialism as Claimed by Some? <The second day of the Protestant Episcopal church congress began this morning at 10:30 o'clock in the upper hall of the National Rites’ Armory. The hall was hardly as crowded as it was last evening, but the attendance was still very good and the papers and addresses were listened to with close attention. ‘The sessions each day are devoted to the con- sideration of some one subject that is of vital importance in these modern days. The topic for discussion this morning was “Socialism. ‘Two of the speakers on the subject whose ad- dresses it was expected would be of more than usual interest were un- able to be present, much to the disap- pointment of the officers of the congress and the audience. These were Henry George, the great exponent of the single-tax doctrine and author of the book “Progress_and Poverty,” and Prof. R. ‘fT. Ely of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. The latter was prevented by illness from being present. ‘The exercises were opened with a brief re- ligions ervice and the singing of the hymn, “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord, God Almighty.” At the conclusion of the hymn and the reading of some announcements, Senator Edmunds, the presiding officer of the congress.announced the topic for discussion and introduced the first writer of the morning, Rev. Reese F. Alsop, D. D., of Brooklyn, N.Y. ‘ REV. DR. ALSOP. Dr. Alsop introduced his paper with the an- nouncement that it was devoted to a consid- eration of the subject of the proposed eco- nomic changes of modern day, and to the argu- ment that they should be followed slowly if at by private corporations, labor fand the prompt payment of the assured and. the present civil service, the tenure of office is more certain. was sung, and at ite conclusion Senator Edmunds introduced the first of the invited speakers of the morning, Kev. P. W Sprague of Charlestown, Mass. Mr Sprague expressed himeelf as of the belief that the wretched- ness and the misery of poverty of today are not the accidents attendant upon the modern social system, but the natural outcome and logical result of it. The only outcome of Christianity can be socialism and the speaker announced himseif as a thorough and complete socialist. This was not soleiy on account of bis study of political enconomy, though political economy had corroborated his views. He was 8 socialist because he was a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. The tenets Christianity are elements of socialism . & - ism substitutes for the idea of profit and gain the idea of serv- ice. Socialism «ubstitutes the idea of man- kind as one great family for the idea that is now current. From Chiistianity we have reached the conception of the human family as members all of one body, but our present social system cannot be said to come up to that conception. ‘The chief opponent of socialism is Herbert Spencer, who objects tuit on the ground that it substitutes for the great individual struggle of the race for existence the concep tion of the brotherhood of man. Yet this is the very conception that is thought by Christ himself. The fundamentals of socialism are the ideals of Christianity, and socialism is the most practicable system for human life and governmen*. SOCIALISM AND THE CHURCH. Rey. William Prall, Ph. D , of Detroit, Mich., the second extemporaneous speaker of the morning session, announced that he would confine his remarks to the consideration of socialism in its attitude toward the church. The air is full of the spirit of dis- content. This is more the case in Europe than in America, but it is on the rapid increase on this side of the At- lantic. The discontent of the wealthy classes isa trivial matter as compared with the dis- content of the masses. ‘There can be no doubt that the wage-earners, the manual laborers of world, are not satisfied with the condition of things as they are, and are clamoring for achange. What then of socialism as aremedy for the ills of the time? No matter what the definition of socialism may be there can be no denying the fact that its aim and urpose is justice. ‘Thix is also the aim of Girletinnity, and socialism is in harmony with the teachings of Him who said that as ye would have men do unto you do ye also unto them. The trouble is ‘that many who profess and call themselves Christians have lost all touch and sympathy with the masses. This was not the case during the feudal times. Then the Proprietor and his workmen frequently lived together in the same house. Today the great captains of industry are as far removed from the laboring classes. as is the Emperor of China from his humblest subject. The poor feel that they are being pushed aside and ignored. Their de- mands are a claim for fuller recognition in the things of this life quite as much as for higher wages. Compare the summer palaces of the rich at Newport and Lenox with the hovels of the poor in the slams and you must realize that all things are not as they should be. And yet the poor are compelled to pay # higher in- all, Competition, he said, is a necessary ele- ment of ali progress and then went on to dis. gues brietly the theories advanced by Henry George, who, while not a socialist, is yet an ardent exponent of the idea that, there ‘should be no such thing as property in land, of Prud- homme aud of Edward Bellamy in his pleasant dream of the future. The condition of affairs as it is today, whether it be right or wrong, has certainly been productive of vast wealth and resources. The beast has been prolific; or, to use a better figure, the goose, if it be a goose, knows how to lay golden eggs. The elements in the production of wealth ere industry, thrift, eapital, which comes as the result of these two, and lastly, individual enterprise, in- cluding inventive and directive ability. The peaker would not hold that wealth might not oF ought not to be accumulated in other ways, but he would maintain that asa result of these | elements he had mentioned wealth had in- creased. | ‘The opponents of the modern industrial gys- | tem wage an earnest war upon all forms of vestment and Bellamy would have the indi- vidual Iny aside all interest in himself and | trust to the state for support. Yet to deprive | the individual of all oe) industry and | thrift and then to expect the state to furnish ! all that the individual lacks is analogous to expecting the stream to rise higher than the source. ‘There could be no doubt that the in- dustrial system of the time has been successful in the matter of accumulation. The chief charge that can be brought against it is on the ground of unequal distribution. If the distri- bution of wealth is radicaily unfair then the tem itself is a failure. The speaker took the ground that itis notso unfair. Interestand profit | n capital have been decreasing steadily and labor is the gainer thereby The poor are bet- ter off than they ever were before. Wages are higher and the poor are in the enjoyment of more comforts and luxuries than in the past. The failure of the very few which may result from any one of a number of causes should not blind us to the success of the system. It would be unwise to kill the goose that lays the golden egg simply for the purpose of diverting the di- rection of the remaining ten eggs. PROF. GOULD'S REMARKS. Rev. Pascal Harrover of Staten Island, N. Y., was the second writer on the program, but a telegram was received from him this morning announcing his illness and consequent inabil- ity to be present, and at the last moment Rev. Prof. Gould of the Philadelphia Divinity School was invited to take his place, but was given the privilege of speaking extemporaneously. Prof. Gould spoke mainly to the theory that the present industrial system is not in accord- ance with the Divine command to love one’s neighbor as one’s self. Competition is not in Keeping witha proper and seeinly, self It is an effort to get all for one’s self at the ex- pense of one’s neighbor. Competition does bring about a cheapening in price, it is true, but only as a result of & marked deterioration in the goods that are sold. It also results in a vast system of deceit. When the grocer sells oleomargarine he does not mark it as such, but calls it prime butter. When he sells cotton-seed oil he labels it “huile d’olives.” Another result of competi- tion is the lowering of the value of labor down to the barest living rate. A man goes into a furnishing store to purchase a ready-made shirt aud finds that the price is but little above the cost of the material tht is used in its making. ‘This can only be made possible by reason of the fact that the garment is pro- duced at the cost of the life blood of one’s fellow man. Things have come to such 8 pass that the working people must work all the time in order to make both ends meet. No time is lett for recreation nor for self culture. It is 2 continual case of the nose held to the grindstone. Nor is this part of the community in any senso an inconsiderable one. Prof..Golild criticised the theory of socialism as a remedy for these ills, holding that the greatest objection to it was’ that it did away with the personal freedom and individuality of the man. He did not think that God m- tonded as a substisute for one imperfect condi- tion of affairs another that is equally open to some way He would point out a system that should be in keeping with His own teachin, and by which men may live in accordance with lis law. REV. H. M. BARTLET?'s PAPER. The last writer of the morning session was Rev. H. M. Bartlett of Montchanin, Del. He began his paper with the statement that with Christianity given democracy must terest on the capital invested in their rental of their tenements than do the rich in their pal- aces. Socialism may be hostile to the church, but itis not hostile to Christians. WILLIAM PRALL. William Prall was born April 6, 1853, in the city of Paterson, N. J. He is the third son of the late Hon. Edwin T. Prall. After a prelim- inary edneation at Edwards Place School at Stockbridge, Mass., he went to Europe with his family, where he resided for several years. He matriculated in the University of Heidel- burg, Germany, where he was a ated” in 1873 with the degrees of M. A. and Ph. D. Returning to America he entered the Columbia Law School, New York city, where he was graduated in 1875 and was admitted to the Now York bar. Subsequently he took up his residence in his native city. In 1877 he was licensed as attorney of the New Jersey bar, receiving his license as counsellor in 1881. In the year 1883 Dr. Prall was ected a member of the New Jersey assembiy. When in the assembiy the following wiu- ter he had charge of the railroed taxation measures, which brought him prominently be- fore the people of his state. Dr. Prall also while a member of the assembly dratted*and had adopted the free public library act of New Jersey. He subsequently secured its accept- ance by the people of his own city and was the first president of the free public library in the city of Paterson. Several other cities of New Jersey have since accepted the act. In 1896, after reverses of a private nature, Dr. Prall was admitted candidate for holy orders from St. Paul’s Church, Paterson, where he and members of his family had been 6o long vestrymen. He was ordained to the deaconate in 1887 and raised to the priesthood in 1888. His first serv- ice was as assistant in St. Paul's Church, Al- bany, from where, in 1889, he was called to the rectorship of the Chureti of the Holy Com- munion, South Orange. He was called to St. John’s Church, Detroit, February, 1891, and entered upon his duties the second Sunday after Easter. Dr. Prall is a member of the Holland, thi Huguenot and St. Nicholas societies of Now orl REV. DR. KIRKUS. ‘The next speaker of the morning, Rev. Dr. Kirkus of Baltimore, argued in favor of the social system as it is now and has been. He based his claim on the argument that compe- tition is not essentially selfish. When a man goes into a book store to purchase a book the transaction is mutually beneficial. The seller is not cudgeling his brains to see how he can get the Lest of his customer ‘The sale does as much good to the buyer as to the seller. Dr. Kirkus expressed himself as a believer in the laissez-faire system. He believed that better than he what he wanted for .d there was no reason why the majority should be allowed to dictate in ali the matters of life. Dr. Kirkus’ address was the wittiest that has yet been made at the congress, and was for the most part a sarcastic picture of what life would be under a socialistic system. REY. 3. 0. 8. HUNTINGTON. Mr. Henry George was to have been the final speaker of the session, but owing toa death in hus family was unable to come on for the con- 38. His place on the program was taken by Rev. J. 0. 8 Huntington's young man clad i a long black cassock anda member of the order of Brothers of Nazareth. In his ad- dress he claimed that he was not a socialist, but that none should ignore the discontent of the time. The time was when the discontented class was mainly made up of the army of the unemployed. Today it is the young doctor, the young lawyer and sometimes the young F who is discontented. Af- fairs are in a very unsettled condition and it is the university graduate who is restless. This is a dangerous si Hev. Mr. Huntiny as to intr aogt eee din e three it beggarmen and thieves.

The first writer on the program who was in- vited to speak on the subject of the evening was Rev. Dr. Harwood, and after the reading of | fome announcements by Dr. Wildes, the gen- eral secretary of the congress, he was intro- duced by the senatorial chairman, who said that Dr Harwood would now present to the congress his views on the subject of “Theism and Evolution” in the paper he bad prepared for that purpose. EDWIN HARWOOD, D.D. In the course of his paper Dr. Harwood said that when a theory or hypothesis respecting the world succeeds in impressing the public mind, not of one simply, but of several m tions, and these the foremost in intellectval moral and material form, it is fair to presume that it must carry within itself some elements of truth and many of force. There is some- thing wonderful in the thought that the world took on its form and order gradually; that all living creatures are the issue of forces and agencies at work since an incomputably past period; that these forces and agencies are still at work, and that tle book of tife has not been clored forever. It unfolds and still unfolds. materialism goes round and round in a circle | without any accession of strength in its argu- | ment. If it be claimed that materialists know more Yhan their forefathers and havé wrested many secrets from nature that had seemed in- scrutable, it is to be remembered that they who believe in the spiritual being of man likewise know more than their forefathers in the same | Scientific researches, There is but one issue or way open. One must either deny that there is | anything in the universe different in kind from what we see and know about in nature, or he must accept the fact that there jis a spiritual order and that the two orders of life are separate, that they are subject to separate conditions and to separate developments. If there be nothing more than the material world, if the grandest powers of man for which neither material phenomena nor laws can accoun: are after all but modes and expressions of cerebral or other bodily activity, if there be no God whom we can love and obey, then the tragedy of human life and the glory of humua endeavor becomes transformed into a ghastly masquerade.

Wheeler Hubbell, president of the White Cross University of the District of Columbia. He took his ten minutes to prove that evolution was ax absurd as it was impossi~ ble and that the true secret of life was to be jound in the theory of germination. President Hubbell’s efforts were received with some laughter and applause, even if they did not carry much conviction. Brief addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Pey= ton of Buseytown, Md.,and Kev. Mr. Hum phrey, pastor of St. John's Church, Havre de Grace, Md. After the reading of several an- nouncements and the singing of “America” the congregation was dismissed with the bene- pronounced by Bishop Dudley of ken- — ALEXANDRIA. CORPORATION REAL ESTATE. There is a movement here on the part of many influential and active citizens to have all the unused real estate owned by the city sold to the highest bidder and the used by the sinking fund for the purchase of city bonds. The city real estate is not ive. It is the truste for the public of the landings at Point Wert, at foot of Oronoko street; of Point Lumley, at the foot of Duke street, and of the market square and most of the streets, having taken these trusts from the old board of trustees. It DR. M'CONNELL'S ESSAY. Dr. McConnell, the second essayist of the evening, was greeted with applauseas he was introduced to 5 He began by saying that before his attention was seriously called to the theory of evolution, it had seemed only » huge joke, and he had added is quota to the jests ‘made at the expense of the Darwinians, who sought the origin of the species ' in the zoological garden stead of in the Garden of Eden. Since en he had come to realize it as of the greatest importance to religion, whether the theory be true or false. After many years of careful study and deliberation he himself had come to regard evolution as essentially true. The opponents of the theory died nobly in Agassiz, but they are dead. Noth- ing can more useless or foolish than the efforts sometimes made to harmonize science and religion. Truth is one and needs no recon- ciliation. The universe of today is not the same as it was yesterday or will be tomorrow. Change 1s the order of the da: Dr. McConnell said that he was led to make this confession because he had come to the con- clusion that the majority of ministers, as well as of other educated men, must have consid- ered the subject for themselves and are con- vinced of its essential truth. The most sible conception of God is that of Him asan occasional visitor. Science has driven this conception further and further away, and thus, in the guise of an enemy, has performed the serv- ice of a truefriend. We are compelled to believe that God is everywhere at all times or that He is nowhere, and we can but accept the higher and Christian form of pantheism. There is one energy in the universe, and only one: It is seen in the attraction of gravity, it wells up in the form of the human will. As thought is to the human brain so is God to the universe. To some it may seem that this form of think- ing is uncertain, elusive and unsafe. It is easier to conceive of the worlds made by a divine power in a single day. This latter con- ception, is a convenient one, suitable to and is easily expressed. It is the religion the Salvation Leon Ree is the religion yg newspaper men have in mind when liver themeelves of “dissortations or reli topics.
