STONE SPEAKS ON THE MORAL AWAKENING Declares Revolt Against' Graft Began During | McKinley's Time : CONDEMNS MONOPOLY Labor and Capital Violating Principles of Govern ment, He Says Dr. Georse W. Stone, field secretary for the Pacific coast of the American Unitarian association, occupied the pul pu yeeterday ir.ornSns in the First Uni tarian church. Hi? eerrcon was in the nature of a farewell address, as he had resigned from his position and was to leave the coast for a tirae. Dr. Stone choc* for his subject "The Moral Awak. i tning." Speaking on the text, 'Turn' and Do Justice." he *ai4 In part;. . j "The moral awakening began at the \u25a0 time of President McKJnley with the revolt against class legislation and ; favoritism. The great combination* of capital had gradually, developed; a consciousness that they Trere stronger than the law and relied upon; their friends in office to protect them in their prerogativec Meanwhile, ,the wage earrere, who. as a class, lt\t more directly than others the oppression of monopoly, began to organize for de- j fense. . \u25a0• • .._,.'.' . I So long a« they held this position they had the cordial support of the public, but they then developed a mo nopoly of labor- So we have two mo nopolies. The first oppresses the capi tal which it does not control, the sec ond oppresses the labor which it does not control. Whatever their profes sions,'in practice they openly, defy tha fundamental. principles upon which free government rests. • > "The assassination of McKinley was the result of fanaticism that ! was a natural outgrovrth of intolerable con ditions. The horror which it caused brought in its wajte a great moral awakening. ,The windows of legislative houses were thrown open and the fresh air of public opinion was allowed to blow through it- -Then began rev« latior.s of graft- It "was a. new word, but expressive. ...... -"- : '•'--' "In this moral awakening "business practices! social standards, : even re ligious Qoctrines. found a day -of Judg ment. The* eld theology which taught thaf works did not*count for Justifica tion and that personal righteousness had no saving powers in the world' to come was responsible for the inbred, deep seated error that raan could ba re ligious without being moral. ;-.-;>; "There is a. raarked difference be tween this moral awakening and . the religious revival. The latter appeals mainly to the emotions and makes good works a by product, whil«_the chief thing is a policy of insurance against fire in another world. The moral awakening appeals to the com mon sense, not to the emotions. It reaches all classes, whether interested in, religion or not, and it brings, a realization that prosperity must de pend upon the observance of the 'laws which God has laid down for the guid ance of relations of individas-ls In the social body." \u25a0 Pr. Stone has occupied his position here for seven years. During his in cumbency the number of Unitarian churches in his district has been*in creased from 15 to 25. and . all the churches have been freed from debt-. Dr. Stone will visit his chilren in the east for some time and may return to th-e coast after a vacation. An infor mal reception will be given this eve ning In his honor by the society . for Christian work, which is. affiliated, with the First Unltariwi church.

While we looked at them together he. had told meHttle bits of history connected with the places portrayed.. Then ho • had rushed off to catch his boat The work ers were through for the day. The women who had been viewing the pic tures had gone to keep; their, dinner en gagements. The perfect quiet tempted me to linger a few moments. I tucked away ray notes and with them, the con sciousness of what I. would" say- In ; to morrbw's art column, and leaned back for a bit of lonely communion with the pictures. It was then that the real atmosphere of them began to steal into my mind- I had admired them, of course, as tj^ny one at all sensitive to beauty In any form must admire them. My critical sense had seen the finished workman ship, the almost downy softness of the foliage, the skillful treatment of the architectural details which were well defined without being photographic the brilliancy of the colors which never be came garish, the fine restraint which runs . through all Peixotto's work. I saw and appreciated. But I' am not fond of gardens, if the 1 truth were told. The clipped trees . make me want \to push them away and see if there Is anything on the other side. 'The dogs and lions In their stony - semblance of life have never in my mind been able to establish their relationship .with the outdoors. ' and the maidens that stand on Nbalustrades or In fountains never roused other emotions ln.me.than the desire to cover them up against the rigors of the climate. .^ In fact, 111 1 had liked the "Stone Pines" of the. Villa Borghese better than, anythingelse In the because, the \u25a0 trees . In their natural growth •of "their twisted reddish brown stems and their frlngy tops reminded m« of "wild places I had be«n to" and. the view overr'the pur plish hill with a bit of the Casino in among them gave the imagination a chance to skip over "Peixotto's well handled distances to all manner of "de lightful • fantasies. . :-, r . \u25a0 But In the hour when daylight was creeping from the corners I and still lingered softly over ,th© pictures, while it was preparing to go away altogether in. the stillness so- unaccus tomed in the heart of the city.-jt seemed natural that the 'spirit, of the old. gardens should;. creep over the senses 'like a, languorous fragrance. The; stiff clipped hedges and the walled terraces became like~ the cor seted and crinolined- .figures of the belles whose light feet "danced on the edge of the dark chasm of the French revolution. Like the J stiff," unbeautiful lines, the powder and .patches \u25a0' of pretty women, that clipped and hedged landscape became Instinct with the charm of an artiflclalty that accentu ates' nature. It was the hour when the maidens of the hoop and patches* might revisit their old-haunts and: dream -beneath the falling leaves, of knights fighting the battles of the outside world.; which the maidens did not share in those days, and when the leaves of summer bowers. might stir with words of whis pered love. . There was a : "Lady of - the Watt?au gown", walking | through a picture, trailing her gown : of flowered ehlmmering silk brushing lightly the greensward, a poor of gray-blue. water untouched. by v the ripple,^ gathering girl and garden, trees and clouds within its bosom, while far away;'a' pale white grVup of : statues .veiled In a misty distance "'threw the "living, .'breathing figure of the girl j into | the j foreground.

It is -not an easy life, but a constant warfare. We must strive to live as in the pres ence of God aad remembering that he see* everything- we 4q and knows aU our thoughts." The archbishop, admonished the cWN Qr*ii : to • observe daily prayer- and the sacraments and to set apart for re ligious observance Sunday, which was, he» said, often made a day of dissipa tion and violation of God's law. He ex horted the' parents and aU thQse present to. realize their obligation to keep the children In the path which they had begun to tread. Father Caraher. the : rector of tlw church, spoke a few words of admoni tion to the children. -The priests at the altar were Archbishop Rlardan, cele brant of the pass;, father Qantweil. present in the sanctuary, and assisting in* the 1 conflrmatlon; Father Nugent of St. Rose parish, deacon; Father Piper ny~ot St Vincent de Paul's church, sub~ deacon, and Father McGough, bavins i charge of the children. \u25a0 Toe following received the sacrament of . con flr mat ion: .
