Jtev. Morgan is a. son of the famous
G. Campbell Morgan, and himself
an evangelist of international re
pute. In opening hi sermon h mndo
a. tilling point when he declared that
th profetwd Christian who hail a
"cheap rclirlon" was doin much to
kp the non-Christian out of the
churches. This blow ho aimed at
those who -while they are church
members are of th class that do
not allow religion to interfere with
their pleau.rure and mode of living,

church oncft a week the fulfillment
of their religious duties.

To bring out this point concerning
th valuo of the true Christian in
ths church he pointed to the par
able made by Christ whn lie asked
the crowd to consider w hether a man

going to battle would not first count
the cost In money, or In men. Then
h pointed out that Christ In His
battle apralnst the forces of evil must
rrcunt th cost and must have, Jn
true Christians, the material with
which to wage Ills battle and build

To be of value to Christ we must

This jtreat arti.t adds to his pro

country; and the effect that his
playing produces is wonderful.
He bfs.in with the frreat K major
Handel Concerto playing: his own

followed by an Adajio by Vivaldi
transcribed fur organ by the organ

ally for two violins. Middleyhulte
kept the spirit of the style of the
period, in wheh it was written, yet
he has given it a fuller and more
modern harmonic garb.
The Andante by Mozart Adajio
by Beethoven and the Good Friday
music by Vapner were i lay?d with
a beauty of color rarely heard. Trio

th organist's own concerto for or

SHIPP11IG ACT IS
CAUSING CONCERN
Officials Fear They Will Be
Uuahle to Complete Task
September 3.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Aug. i. The task
of studying more than a score of
commercial treaties which must be
amended or cancelled under the re
cently enacted Jones shipping act.
has been found so formidable by the
state department that tho belief was
expressed by department otllciulö
Sunday that it would bu impossible
to complete the work by September
1, th expiration of the ninety days
period permitted by the act.
in addition to ascertaining the ex
tent to which treaties mupt be" amend
ed in order to reclaim for congress
the right to enact legislation im
posing discriminating duties and
charges in favor of American ship
ping, the state department will find
it necessary to enter into more or
less extensive correspondence with
foreign governments affected to de
velop their views and learn whether
they are willing to make the changes
desired.
Takes Much Time.
This will be a time-consuming
task as much of the negotiations
must be done by mail involving many
weeks for each exchange of notes.
Therefore, it is probable that .re
course must be had to the plan of
dating back any action that the gov
ernment must take when it appears
that the action could not be taken
within the legal period of 0 days
after the signature of the shiping
act.
The attempt will be made to ob
tain amendments to the existing
treaties in the spirit of the shipping
act rather than resort to deunciation
of whole treaties, for in that way
it will be possible to avoid the auto
matic application of the rive per cent
differential duties in favor of Ameri
can shipping contained in the Un
derwood tariff act. which it has been
found, would otherwise apply. But
there is grave doubt amoung officials
as to the acceptance of such proce
dure by fome of the more important
foreicn government which may pre
fer to adopt retaliatory measures
rather than submit to the imopsition
of discriminatory duties on their
products imported into America.
According to the latest figures of
the Boston omce of the Internal rev
iv.uo depar mcnt, increased returns

Crime is expensive and empty

The 1 oiler class of citizens had to

item of expenditure for the appre

portion of the amount received by
the government in revenue from the
trattie. The expense of caring for
other public charges, made depen-J
cants on account of alcohol insane.
paupers, homeless children reduced
the liquor revenue receipts still fur
ther. The ecst to the industrial
world in the loss of time by work
men because of alcoholic indulgence,
the total disability of thousands who
would bo producers were it not for
alcohol this cost further reduced
the liquor revenue receipts. In fact,
the people had been thoroughly per
sauded that purely from a dollar and
cents standpoint the liquor trariic in
the United States was a losing propo
sition to the nation. Etate. and city,
tbut tho revenue derived from it did
not begin to meet the expense im
posed upon the taxpayers.
But. without considering this
phase of the question, balancing the
tederal revenues now derived from
useful commodities with the federal
revenue from the liquor traffic in
Massachusetts is more than made up
by the federal revenue derived from
thee useful commodities. There is
no reason to believe that the situa
tion in Massachusetts differs from
the situation in other states. Massa
chusetts was one of the wettest suites
in the union. It contains the third
largest city in the United States, a
city that was considered one of the
strongholds of the liquor trattie.
While figures dealincr with this sub
ject are not available from other
states at this time, when the balance
Is linaliy struck for the tirst dry year
Massachusetts will probably find that
it is not the only state in the union
that has more than made up the
seemine loss in liquor revenue, in
the revenue derived from commodi
ties whose trade has flourished be
cause of prohibition.
Facts I"nm Mn;uhusrtts
Tho Philadelphia North American
for July li is authority for the fol
lowing ntmres:
"An increase In federal revenue
receipts for Massachusetts from can
dy, soft drinks, theater admissions
and transportation amount to more
than $5. 875,000, which alone more
than takes care of the drop of 5.
568,000 In taxes from distilled spirits
and fermented liquor. And it is gen
erally cot ceded trat the increases hi
the sales of these particular com
modities are quite directly the result
of the shutting off of the shrdlutade
of the shutting off of alcoholic
drinks.
Candy Tax Kquals $2,251,000.
"Jtevenue in candy, w hich was on
ly a part of the $032,478 collected in
1919, Jumped to more than $2.i34,-
OOOin 1920. Tho figures $053, 47S in
cluded taxes on numerous other
Items, such as chewing gum, pianos,
tennis racquets, and so on. whoieas
the $2,254,000 is for candy alone.
Tax receipts from soft drinks went
from $20t.52& in the 1919 returns to
$2.252,185 in 1920; on theater tick
ets, from $2.735.546 to $3.S49T3r7.
"It is truo many of the new ex
cise taxes did not go into effect until
February or May, 1919. yet that is
not considered as in any way alter
ing the fact that the new returns
aro making up for the drop in liquor
revenue: in other words, that pro
hibition is making it possible for the
collection of larger taxes rather than
smaller, as was claimed by the brew
era right up until a short time ago.
"It is generally recognized that the
government. In framing the excise
laws, amply provided for the coming
of prohibition and now the very lirt
tax returns indicate a long overreach
of the requirement in the way of
finding taxes to substitute for that
share the government accepted from
alcoholic drinks.
"In the case of the increase from
theater tickets, however, there is a
stralght-across comparison, the rates
and o forth being exactly the samr
for both years, so that the increase
cf over $1.113.000 in taxes from this
source is a clear indication of a biu
increase in attendance.

"Another way to see how the so

QUFSTIOX RIGHTS
DUBLIN. Aug. 1. Should Arch
bishop Mannix of Australia be forc
ed to proceed direct to Liverpool,
the qutttion arises here as to how
the government can prevent hit
coming to Ireland- Until a few
months ago a permit was required
to land in Ireland, but this regula
tion was abolished. It is suggested
that it might be revived as has been
the rule regarding g-overnment
search of passengers bagrasc.
Largv numbtrs of Irish bishops
and priests from Australia are at

tion hs been given that they will
form a bodyguard for Archbishop
Mannix if he is permitted to land.
The archbishop of Sydney, Aus

syn-pathizing with the Sinn Fein.
By Associated Bress:
DUBLIN, July 31. Fears that
that the Irish situation, which is
daily growing more tense, may burst
into general conflagration at any
moment are expressed in responsi
ble quarters here. At the present
there is virtually r.o civil law south
cf the Boyne river except that ad
ministered by republican courts, but
it Is pointed out that each day finds
the balance between military and
revolutionary rule growing more
equal.
It Is estimated there are between
60,000 and S0,000 fully equipped
Bi;-sh soldiers in Ireland and they
are being reinforced daily by men
arriving from across the channel.
As a result, there are more frequent
and more stubborn battles between
the troops and the republican vol
unteers who for a time had things
much their own. There have also
been more arrests for carrying arms
and seditious literature as reports
to courts martial show. It is ex
pected the number of these arrests
will increase if the government suc
ceeds in earning its "drastic meas
ures" in the house of commons next
week.
