SOCIETY SINNERS.
MELBOURNE DENUNCIATION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Oopyrieht Melbourne, April 1. In addressing the Baptist Conference, (ho Rev, Mr. Collins declared that they did not find the worst sinners in tho slums, but in the suburbs, where elegant pagans played golf on Sunday mornings and bridge on Sunday nights. On the other six days they .rodo motor-cars to worship at the shrino of the goddess of "getting on." Tho Church and tho Democracy were at cross purposes. Was it any wonder that working men associated tho Church with wealth and privilege, officered ny men prominent .in rings and combines, and led by men who talked the starving workers into submission? No wonder they reproached tho Church, which acquiesced in a system which made , one class unwholesomely rich, and doomed the opposite class to a life-long struggle against conditions which sapped (ho physique and blunted tho moral sense and embittered tho soul.
