Women at First Methodist Ignore
Bequest to Remove Headgear.
BISHOP OLDHAM IN PULPIT
Telia of Condition of Kentnles tit
, Aula anil Explain that Their
Lot la Alvrnya a ltanl
One.
"Would tho women kindly removo their
hats?"
No, they would not
In spite of the politely worded hint that
hats were an undesirable part of tho
atmosphere, many women at the First
Methodist church Sunday morning ro-
fuscd to take oft their hats.
The millinery removal roauest appeared
In two places in the program of serv
ices which were handed out to the con
gregation by tho ushers, But for unex
plained reasons tho Btlckups, aigrettes
and plumes continued to wave overhead
throughout the sermon, whllo men craned
their necks to catch a glimpse ot the
speaker. Rev. William F. Oldham, for
merly Methodist missionary bishop to
Asia, who preached two sermons, one In
the morning and tho other in tho even
ing. Mont nemnrkahle Thluir.
"The most remarkablo thing in this
country Is tho amazingly high place given
to women," said the bishop In his morn
ing address on tho Eubject. "Tho Poverty
of tho Christless Lands." Ho mado his
remarks concerning American women.
Addressing tho women In the audience,
the speaker said: tviese men who sit
nlongsldo of you what voice have they
In affairs? None at all. They merely
make suggestions now and then."
Then, turning to tho men, tho bishop
remarked: "Tho American woman has
been lifted so high that you cnniiot as
sociate with her without being lifted up
yourself."
The Women of Aaln.
Bishop Oldham's experience has been
largely In tho non-Christian countries of
Asia, whoro ho lias dono much mission
ary work. Ho told of tho customs of
those lands, emphasizing especially the
shabby treatment accorded women thero.
Ho said that In ono of his mission fields
tho annual expenditure for clothing for
each woman averaged 72& cents. Ho
pointed out that tho poorest . American
women are extravagantly and richly
dressed in comparison and said that real
poverty Is hardly known here, the solf
Btyled "poor" peoplo being merely not
quito so well off as some othors.
"The deepest and ,most absolute poverty
from which there Is no escape," the
bishop declared, Is found in lands where
Christ is not known. But a different and
even worse poverty is that of the soul.
Tho normal suffering ot tho women In
heathen lands is especially acute, and its
relief offers tho forunate women and mpn
ot America a great opportunity."
A big thank offering for the benefits
enjoyed here was mado to tho foreign
missionary fund of tho church at each
service.
In tho evening Bishop Oldham's topic
was "Realities and Unrealities In Reli
gion." At the Commercial club this noon, the
bishop will discuss American relations to
the Philippines, which Islands were In
cluded in his field of mission service. Tho
Methodist ministers of the city will hear
him at 3 o'clock In tho afternoon at their
headquarters in the Omaha National bank
building. He leaves for Kansas1 City to
night while in the city, ho 1b tho guest
of Rev. and Mrs. Titus Lowe.
