Dr. John Handley demonstrated his it fearlessness and the courage of his fi ' convictions in a forceiul manner at » ■ the Sunday evening service, in his ti 1 strong and timely denunciation of the t' ■ fearful havoc wrought and the per- d nieioui influence exercised by wealthy <'■ liliertincs upon American home life •> and ideals. • w 1 The value of such discourses can- f ' not be over-estimated. Charles Lamb. ^ ' upon an occasion, went to considerable ^ ' tains to dispute the assertion that the poor copy the vices of the rich, de- ^ * daring the latter had vices enough of I their own without copying others, and J moreover hod sufficient imagination to ' create new vires if necessary. | All this may be correct; nevcrtbe- » r less it remains equally as true that " 5 the upper strata of society exercise » ' far greater influence -perhaps than s c recognized, in moulding the morals » and habits of the lower. Dr. Handley was perfectly correct i „ also in his assertion that home life \ v in America is seriously imperiled by 4 tlic conduct of a large section of the c upper classes, who seemingly imagine I f their weatlh givC them the power to 1 trample upon every sentiment the nation holds dear with impunity. I Unfortunately, however, few preach- 1 , Crs. escn learned and gifted in other 4 <j deparuhents. are able to discuss sub- ' jects/oi such a delicate nature ef- 4 II fcctiAly. rt Kithrr on the ooc hand they are ' ic too vague and ambiguous through fear ' of offending the susceptibilities oi their I ot onentung ok -

to convey any practical mor- e al. or. on tlr other hand, they leap to the other extreme, and become sen- n sational bordering upon the porno- c graphic. | * Dr. Handley proved himself ai» exception- While his message r was clear and definite, the moral ex- h Illicit, it was couched in the most dig- ) nificd language, and well selected | c Using as a scriptural basis for" his' address the words oi Christ recorded ;

Matthew 19: 23 to 23. where the frequented quoted and misquoted words appear. "It is easier for a camel |ass through the eye of a needle for a rich man to enter the Kingof "Heaven," Dr. Handley launched into an impressive recital of the harmful influence of great wealth, wrongly and viciously Used. At the outset Dr. Handley recalled four great sandals in high life which within comparatively recent date received great publicity. All fqur cases cited were doubtless remembered by many oi tlic congregation. Dr. Handley drew attention to the fact thai as lar as could be learned. t*4 fathers of the persons implicated in the scandals were without exception men of exemplary character, honorable in their comrncrqial dealings, splendid citizens of the commonwealth. The children had incited their • t'ather's wealth, but not his integrity. ' With unlimited means to indulge evexy whim and passion and nothing to oc- - cupy tlieir minds and dissipate superenergy, they had given rem to , license and lust. -:jj The point which Dr. Handley emphasized as being the most degrad- , ing feature relative, to the scandals cited was not the evil done itself to , much as the callous indifference with , which society viewed the erfl. For example, the preacher recited ■ i in brief the story of the son of a ■ wealthy House against whom a yooag - girl lad established in court the par- . rntage of her child. ^ ^ The lather heard of his son's im-

morality with perfect sangfroid, declaring it was an old story, and umroe still, the young libertine's fiancee. : when told of it remarked she would loot al^so "simple an offence to their friendship." , Thus society, not only condoned the j off aire, but lionized and mark- a bens (t I the offender.
