REV. DR.. WOODS TOUCHES ON
THE WORTH OF WASHINGTON

In his prelude TO his regular sermon
last night. Rev. r. A. Woods Of the First
Baptist Church spoke on The Washing
ton Centennial and in part he said:
During the past week We as a nation have
passed the centennial % the death OF Washing
ton. our thoughts turn 10 the man whose name
has such a prominent place IN our history. The
wonderful work which he accomplished. the
difficulties which stood in the way and the
temptations which beset him should not be for
gotten. There was hostile criticism and oppo-
sitlon and treachery. The path untrodden.
Sometimes he would seem 10 have been justi-
fed In yielding 20 the demands 81 the army 10
take the power into his own hands but he re-
sisted all such temptations and was true 20 the
best interests Of the people and conquered
success. Twice he Was elected President and
was urged 10 accept third term. but refused.
and when he died a hundred years ago a CRATE
ful nation mourned him ~ their country 5
father.
our nation has had a wonderful growth In
these hundred years. and there has been great
progress On our civilization. The historian has
been busy. and the real Washington he was
stands before the world to-day. But his char
ncter and work endure the test OF time and
study.

Rev. c. n. Hobart Is of the Opinion
That Some Government Should
Intervene to End the
Trouble
DECLARES IT IS COWARDLY
BELLIGERENTS SHOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO FIGHT.

OAKLAND, Dec. 17.-Rev. c. II. Hobart
pastor Of the First Baptist Church. in a
prelude TO his sermon tonight, discussed
briefly the question Should Christian Ma
lions Allow the British and Beers to Fight
the initiative In the matter OF intervening.
He said in part:
Only DULLES or barbarians say let the
fight go on. Civilization says stop ii.
What civilization says for individuals II
also says for nations. War is barbarism-
war is hell. Christian nations should cease
TO fight and cease to allow others To fight.
1T makes me heartsick 10 think of the
superb men, both Beers and British. who
are falling there in South Africa. They
are far too noble to be marched out like
cattle TO slaughter because a Chamberlain
or Kruger Wills II So.
1T is clear that those most responsible
for the war are sick of u. and they ought
TO be. Though pride would keep them
from uttering II. they would welcome in
tervention. And 1t is time TO interfere.
We should have done so ere this. For
men OF such magnificent courage TO fight
on means simple humiliation. And the
main reason why the nations do not In
terfere and end the fight is that II would
be an innovation. But why should the
barharism and brutality OF the past?
III America and Germany. or America
and Russia. or Russia and Germany. or
Russia and France would say this war
must cease and YOU must settle your diff
terences on higher planes than brute
force IL would cease forthwith. Such a
word ought TO be spoken by the powers.
1t is cowardly for those who might speak
with potential influence not 10 DO so. and
that promptly"

He paid high tribute to Rev. A. J.

stated that his idea Of religion was correct

KING RICHARD III FROM
A MINISTERIAL STANDPOINT

Rev. William RAIDER. pastor OF the
Third Congregational Church. last night
concluded his series OF sermons on the
tragedies OF Shakespeare. He preached
on King Richard III"-the drama Of
Retribution. lie chose for his text:
Gal. viz For whatever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap In part he said:
Richard Is Shakespeare's greatest villain.
Reside him Macbeth and lago are almost angels
Of light. King Richard had a crooked body
and crooked soul. lie had a strong will. a
great mind without the control Of conscience
or heart No sign Of pity. remorse or sympathy
IS visible IN his career. lie did not even do
himself the honor Of committing suicide. Only
when asleep. when his powerful will seemed
dormant was he troubled by the spirits OF his
murdered friends and foes.
The lesson ~ the tragedy Is retrlbution Vio-
lated law brings It's own result. Whatsoever
a man sows that shall he reap"
