At the motning service Rev. Mz; Magee took as his theme the parables of the prodigal and the good Sanfariâ€" tan, showing the individualistic and the socialistic features of the Chrisâ€" tian religion and in a forceful manâ€" ner maintained that while the Methoâ€" Aist Church has always upheld evanâ€" gelism, work of _ this denominaâ€" tion\ is §;dcning and stronger . cfâ€" forts than ¢ver are being made _ to deal with the moral and social probâ€" lems of the times. _ Rev. I1. S. Magee, Ficld Secretucy a‘ al reform work for the Methoâ€" | in Canada, was in Berlin on Bunday and detivered three powetrâ€" lul addresses in connection with the great moral reform problems | which are â€"at _ present facing â€" Canadians, Rev. Mr. Magee occupied the pulpit at Trinity Methodist Church morning and evening and in the afternoon was the speakerâ€"at the Moral ~ Reform meeting for men in Zion Evangelical chureh. In the afternoon the meeting was presided over by Rev. L. H. Wagâ€" ner and Revs. W, A. Bradley, A. P. Mihm andâ€" J.â€" W. German assisted in the exercises as well as the â€" Zion male quartette. _ Mr. Magee gave an interesting _ review‘ of the progress made in the moral tcform movement in this Dominion and predicted that the barroom and treating. evil in Ontario would te wiped out in _ ten vears. e In the cvening Mr. Magee compared Canada to the Jand given unto the Israclites, â€" quoting his text _ from Joshua 1:13, using the revised versiom in which the verse is quoted, "This land shall be given to you." _ Thus was Canada set apart by God for the people of Canada but in its atâ€" tainment as in the days of Ad trere were battles to be fought and difiâ€" culties to be overcome and it . was npon these battles that Mr. Magee spoke in conncciion with the moral refrin campaign. "If there _ are cotrupt politicians there must be a corrupt electorate. The politicians in most cases are not so much to blame as the public who were already beginning to laugh at the sacredness of the ballot and the franchise." So~ spoke Mr. Magee in dealingâ€"withâ€"theâ€"problemâ€"ofâ€"political corruption. â€"On this question heâ€" spoke straight out from the shoulder, inâ€" stancing cases where even the churchâ€" ces were â€" instruméental in â€" bringing about the conditions by approaching different candidates and asking before hand what they would do for ~the church. i The speaker did not blame the poliâ€" ticians so much, as he: blamed the people who were at the bottom of the corruption, the people who had in many instances acecpted money and raised their demands until _ the amount expended upon political corâ€" ruption was advancing every election. Money had not only to be paid to inâ€" fluence voters to change their party but the conditions had now _ reached such a stage that money had to be paid to get the votes out to the polis at all. : s â€" ‘"Canada has but thirteen per cont. of foreignets but that small proporâ€" tion commit 40 ‘per cent of the crimes and throw the cost upon the _ luw abiding,‘‘ said the speaker in dealing with forcign immigration _ problem; In Chicago such a state of afairs had been reached that when 53 charges for Sunday saloon selling were push= ed, a jury could not be found to make a_ conviction for the reason â€" that vighty per cent. of the residents of Chicago were not Americans. The race problem was one that had to do .with health and law for the foreigners always congregated in the slum scctlo? where discase was bred and the speakertold of one square wertul: AddressDelivered in Berlin on Sunâ€" day by Rev.

Jt was for the people to act against them. l Mr. Magee gave several striking cases of the traffic among which he cited;â€""A young woman from _ an Outario town came to Toronto _ to visit her aunt. Having been in the city before she did not notify _ her aunt that she was coming. Arriving at the house, she fourd her relatives absent. . An attractive looking woâ€" man a few doors away â€" made _ inâ€" quiry, and, learning of the young woman‘s disappointment, invited her |into her house to wait until _ her aunt relurned. She pressed hber to remain for tea and to stay all night. In.this case again the young woman discovered to her horror that she was the unsuspecting victim of the |White Slave Traffic. ~"Canadians are inclinea u0t toâ€" beâ€" lieve in poverty in a country where it is hardly ever experienced,"~ the speaker said, but he contrasted the conditions here with those of London where millions never got the food . reâ€" quired to sustain.strength and toâ€"Inâ€" dia where two bhundred million of the people were paupers. "But â€" Canadâ€" ians must beware or in the years to comethese conditions shall also ow ercome this young country,"> he deâ€" clared. & ‘"‘Every time the young man smokes a cigarette he might just as well for his own welfare open a vein and let his blood flow out." _ Mr. _ Magee talked againstâ€" the cigarette ovilâ€" in the strongest language, a habit which was encouraged often in the young because they wished to appear manâ€" ish with the smoke twisting up fromi their mouths around their ears but every pufl was sapping their life out. Young men thought that it was all right for them that they could stop when they wanted to, but it was difâ€" ferent when they tried it. But the greatest of all the problems of moral reform was the liquor tralâ€" ficâ€"The traflic which annually cats up fiftyâ€"nine millions of the money of Canada while nine millions _ alone would provide Canada‘s share for the evangelization of the world, and when Canada alone were here people chrisâ€" tians could herself evangelize the whole world. Continuing the speaker took _ up the opium evil and after referring to the extent of its traffic in Cana:a spoke in words of praise of the servâ€" ices rendered by Mr. Mackenzic King who â€"madeâ€"a thorough . investigation. of the opium traffic, which resulted in the Government passing the antiâ€" optumâ€"iaw and Mr. King was sent to the recent congress in China to assist that country in abolishing the | evil. He spoke in the strongest terms against a law which allowed legitiâ€" mate gambling on the race track and which caused the arrest of the small boys who shot crap on the sidewalk for a {ow pennics, § The white slave traffic, which anâ€" nually takes thousands of girls from their homes in Canada and entices them by false means into dens of inâ€" iamy, was vividly painted in all its evils. The congregation were told how by advertisements innocent girls were enticed to the citics, there held prisoners and robbed of <their honor and how somctimes afew were suved to tell of the terrors to which others were â€"subjected. h A young Canadian woman went to the city of Boston to visit a friend, who was to meet her at the railway station. The friend, a young woman of long acquaintance, did â€" not apâ€" pear. A wellâ€"dressod woman offered to direct the visitor to a good boardâ€" ingâ€"house. _ The young woman _ acâ€" cepted the offer, only to discover beâ€" fore midnight that she was in one of the worst placts in that city. Beâ€" cause one man had not lost all sense ef chivalry she was spared from deâ€" gradation, and on the following day, he, with great difficulty, rescued her. Thety was one thought of sympathy the speaker said for those girls who were seen around the streets throwâ€" ing themsclves in the way of temptaâ€" tion but it was for those ijnnpeent girls who were enticed from _ their humes and made captives he spoke. . Mr. Mageo concluded by an appeal for assistance afd he asked cquj; person present to communjcate wi their reprgsentatives in parliagnent and secure assistance and support in 'i:filrinu "legislation . againg} . theso ovils.
