They con trol the Bishop (Rhinelander), who, In mental ability, personal authority and moral aggressiveness is not, by any means, a great man. “August Belmont is at the head of our race track gamblers. His career Is one of the worst careers for an American youth to imitate. Yet he is prominent in the Church of the As cension on lower Fifth avenue.” The foregoing quotations are from a sermon delivered in St. John’s Episcopal Church by the rector, the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond. “In most of the large parishes of the Episcopal Church throughout the country we find men like Belmont and the late J. P.

Bishop Rhinelander, was elected two years ago,” said Mr. Richmond, “largely through the push and pull of Wall street Interests, corporation law. yers and social Idlers, together with a few of our clergy among whom tow. c red pre-eminently the Rev.
