FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Patriotic Address by Rev. Burt Estes
Howard

AT the First Presbyterian church the
pastor, Rev. Burt Estes Howard, deliy-
cred patriotic address, appropriate to
the day, dispensing with the customary
scripture text. The subject was intro
duced with a graphic description of the
conditions in Europe when Columbus
discovered America and the vast ma
tural resources of this country. Though
the shipsoftw Latin nations had touch
ed upor, our shores, it was reserved for
the sturdy blood of the Anglo Saxon to
make this land the seat of it's power
Whether this land will fulfill its mis-
sion, continued the speaker, depends not
on its natural resources, but on the stew
ardship of the men of this generation.
This race is fitted by its genius, ener-
gy, physique and social tendencies to be-
come the dominant race in all the sub
sequent history of the world.
The gravest question before the Amer
lean people today is the question of citi-
zenship. We have been drunken with
the largeness of our domain and have
not thought that the day is coming
when the hordes from other lands who
settle in our midst will rise in the
strength of the power we have given
them, without the intelligence to exer-
| else it Alright and will shake the pillar.
| of this commonwealth until it trembles
on its foundation unless we Americanize
| them.
| The genius of our institutions no ons
denies, but it cannot stand before the
blows of those whom we have admitted
| to citizenship, with no deep love of ths
| perpetuity Of those institutions
This is the day of the year when We
| give ourselves up to the exploiting OF
what we are pleased to call our patriotic
| spirit. 1t is as easy as it is customary
| to confound patriotism with profound
national conceit and the minimizing o
| all that we choose to call un-American
On this day, given up more to noise thar
to thought, more to self-adulation thai
to self-examination, it is wise to paus
in the midst of our exuberant demon
| stration to ponder over some of the deel
things of material policy and respons
bility. BY swift process of degenera

"BRoTHERHooD CHRIST"
He That Is Greatest Among You Shall
Be Your Servant

Yesterday morning the pastor, ]. S.
Thomson, preached sermon on "The
Brotherhood of Christ versus the Equal
ity of Socialism" using the text, HE
that is greatest among you shall be your
servant"-Matthew, xxiii:11.
Christ established brotherhood upon
the earth, and it was composed of men
of every station, condition, degree, taste,
and genius Pe<er, James and John
were nearer and dearer to Him than the
other disciples. They had the highest
rank in his brotherhood. He assures His
true and loyal disciples that they would
"sit on twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel" and these words
must mean that there are higher and
lower places in the next life. Angels
are graded in that life; for there are
archangels as we'll as common angels.
| Christ was an individualist, and He
taught that the developed individuality
of a man enabled him to render the best
services to humanity. He did not say
that there are no high places in the
spiritual world, when the two ambitious
disciples asked Him for the two highest
places in His kingdom. American So
cialism is the outgrowth of dissatisfac-
ton with the American republic. Our
| country has hard timeS.v Starvation, po-
litical corruption, favoritism, many un-
employed men and women are in the
land. We cannot deny these evils. So
cialists claim that socialism can cure al
these evils and make mankind richer
and happier. They claim that our gov
ernment is manipulated in favor of the
greedy and heartless rich people, ano
against the rights, privileges, opportu.
mites and happiness of the labOrins
classes. They seem to forget that al
colonies and organiza tions made after
their plans have failed, and that this re-
public was made for honest. industriou.
and law-abiding citizens, and that de
signing men, backed by ignorant voters
can prosecute schemes of corruption

The Golden Rule a Remedy for Ma
tional Ills-Dr. Thomson on
the Brotherhood of Christ

Yesterday being National Indepen-
dence day, the discourses at most of
the churches were patriotic in charac-
ter. The decorations were in harmony
with the anniversary and were of flow
ers in the national colors and profu-
sion of "Old Glory that lends itself so
readily to artistic purposes.
St. Paups church was picture of
beauty, with banks and garlands of
red, white and blue. flowers, shields, flags
and drapery, the effect of which was
greatly enhanced by the electric lights
that Illuminated the chancel.
Rev. John Gray preached an able SER
mon from text taken from the third
verse of the Twenty-eighth Psalm:
"Trust ye in the Lord, for the Lord Jesus
is everlasting strength" The speaker
drew a parallel between the exodus of
the Hebrew people from bondage and
the founding of this republic. He drew
attention to the striking faith that char
acterized the leaders of both move
ments. The Declaration of Independence
is called the magma charta of our lib
erty, the creed of the American people,
There runs through it confidence in di-
vine power, trust and belief in the SOW
ereign power of God, a belief in the gui-
dance of supreme authority. No one can
deny that men make serious mistakes
in the part which God may play in the
guidance of national affairs and the re-
sponsibility of the individual himself
The Scriptures do not reveal God as a
petty tyrant nor a sovereign intermed-
dler in the affairs of men. The Revolu-
tionary fathers, who framed the Declar-
alton of independence, fell back on their
dependence on the Almighty God; they
went forward to their duty, and we are
commanded to go forward to our duty
in our day. The stress is as great as it
was then and the result as doubtful. II
it is great thing to bring the child of
human liberty to life, it is a greater one
to guide, direct and foster it. The Dec
laration of Independence does not need
to be re-created, but it does need to be
re-read. The growth of the nation re-
vealed the necessity of new appliances
All great truth has been subjected tc
the great light of civilization, to the
eearchlight of development and pro-
grese, to see whether it will stand the

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL
The Future Citizen, DR.. Days
Theme

The natal day OF our nation was most
appropriately recognized in the chaste
arrangement of the flowers representing
the national colors in the choice and
rendition of the music and in the theme
chosen by the Pastor, Rev. DR.. Day.
Training the Future Citizens" based
upon those words from Psalm cxxxvii:5:
'If 1 forget thee, o Jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunning" "for. "
he promised, "if this republic is to en-
dure-and God grant that it may-there
must be time and place and heart for
this training of the youth who are to
govern it, and shape its destinies.
1.-THE future patriot-citizen will not be
a mere evolution Of the times, but will
come to his place with some training
from some human person or from many,
which will affect each faculty, impulse
and sympathy which is in him; and that
which is dominant in him will affect
public welfare and movement. 1t is the
man behind or within the officer, ths
thinker, the servant, with whom this
training has to do, and in that work
| there is an amazing TRANSMISSION into his
| being of that which is dominant in the
parent or teacher or companion.
This training for future citizenship
requires the most thorough intellectual
| fitting possible, that the inheritor Of il
may master issues direct new meas
ures, perceive tendencies and possess
himself of such we'll grounded and right
eous opinions as shall preserve himself
| and the public which he may influence
from being swept away by popular in.
| fatuation or sophistry. The most urg
ent call today is education for the spe.
cial service of the citizen to the state.
But, with the best possible intellec.
1 tual training, there must also be the bes
moral culture. The most glaring defec
of our commonwealth is in our wide
spread moral weakness; as the author
ity Of righteousness gives way befor,

sense of responsibility to God dies out

ST. JOHNS CHURCH
The Golden Rule the Cure for Our
National Ills

At st. Johns Episcopal chruch the
evening sermon by the pastor, Rev. B.
w. r. Tayler, was in harmony with the
spirit of the day. The text was taken
from Deuteronomy, 4, 30-31. when thou
art in tribulation, and all these things
come upon thee, even the latter days,
if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and
shall be obedient unto His will, He will
not forsake thee, nor forget the coven-
ant of thy fathers, which He swore
unto them"
In many ways we have reached posi-
ton of proud prosperity said the
speaker, which our ancestors never
dreamed of. The optimist most natur-
ally argues that this state of affairs is
only an indication of greater progress
and prosperity, and sees nothing to JUS
tify gloomy forebodings.
The pessimist says that the will OF
the people is so often defeated that we
cannot claim to be true republic. A
combination of banking and manufac-
turing interests runs the country for its
own special benefit. There are thous-
ands of unemployed men who are more
or less a menace to- our institutions. So
ciety is more or less rotten, education is
in the hands of ring, politics, mere
machine, the ballot box, has lost its
power and to a great extent it's secrecy,
! and a few men control the wealth of
| the country.
| The rich are getting richer and the
poor poorer; the churches do not reach
the masses of the people; the judiciary
is corrupt, juries are bought and sold
and convicted murderers go free.
| 1t is the lack of religious principles
which is responsible for the unsettled
condition of affairs. Trusts, political
trickery and discon tent are simply
symptoms of a deep-rooted disease, and
the disease may be diagnosed as a lack
of religion Without God we are with
out any definite object in life.
There is no reason to be pesslmlstlc
about the future of this republic, unless
we eliminate God from the nations ille
God must not only be in the cons .itu-
| tion-His name must be writ III the
hearts of the people.
| The golden rule is the cure lot an oui
national ills. The nation Is mace up OF
individuals, and if they are God-fearine
and upright sjust and right-minded q, there
is no doubt of the result. God Will never
forsake the individual nor yet the natlor
| which.refuses to forsake Him.

under any form of government, and that
the evils which we now see are not the
results of our form of government, but
of our sins and crimes. If socialism
were carried out logically it would de-
stroy private ownership of all property
and it would introduce free love. Some
socialists openly acknowledge that their
schemes would involve the destruction
of the marriage tie; while others have
the highest respect for that sacred
union. If no person has a right to pos
sess anything, if all things are to be in
common, if all things and all persons
belong equally to the community and to
each other, then wives and husbands
cannot be private property. Such men
as Watt, Stephenson, Fulton, Morse,
Abraham, Moses, Washington, are
worth thousands of men, SO far as this
world is concerned. In the creation of
men and animals God is respecter of
persons. The lion and the eagle are
higher forms of animal life than the
worm and the toad. Some children are
born black, some white and some red.
Some are born weak, some strong, some
dull, some bright Some are born in
savage communities, some in palaces;
one is born woman, another a man.
But God is no respecter of persons in
rewarding His children according to
their works. Every one reaps what he
sows. lie has no favorites. A
skilled laborer deserves more pay
than a common laborer. The cap
tain of ship is more valuable than a
common sailor. Some men, as discover
ers, inventors, leaders, are worth mil
| lions of other men to the world. Our
country needs more patriotism, civil SER
vice, consecrati ton and honesty. Good
| times will come, if we repent of our
sins and do our duties as citizens of our
great country.
