THE SUNDAY FUNERAL
is CRITICISED MILDLY BY REV. J.
CUMMING SMITH,.
The Half Holiday Movement Advo-
catcd-Rev. o. $. Hadley's Sermon
Other Church Services.

The Rev. ]. Cumming Smith, of the Tab
ernacle Church, in a prelude to his morn
ing sermon took occasion to present his
views on a number of questions concerning
the observance of Sunday and other live
questions of the day. He said in part:
II feel sure that the wisdom of our city
will support directors of funerals in their
effort TO abolish Sunday funerals unless
they are absolutely necessary. The hack
men and livery men also suffer from the
desire TO use Sunday for burials. One would
be surprised at the percentage of our toll
ing classes-which in our democratic con-
dition means almost all the people-who
are required to work seven days a week
and sometimes crowd ten days work into
seven. We need reform in funerals. There
Is no necessity for long and costly pro-
cessions. The poor ape the rich and spend
money on snowy services, often by stint
ing the home of real needs. Let friends go
quietly to the grave. Let few go. Let pomp
and eulogy be limited to truth and fit
tingness. Let us guard the one day of
rest.
"As a minister 1 will not denounce the
men and women who sigh for the woods
and streams on Sundays because they have
labored all week at their trades. I want a
quiet worshipful Sunday, but denuncia-
ton never brings it. Common sense and
kindness in lessening hours of work will
dc more to rescue our Sunday from viola
tions than scorching sermons.
Now people talk about a summer va
cation. OF course a month or two spent
by the ash is admirable. especially If
one avoids the dressy resorts. But nine
men out of ten cannot spare more than a
fortnight off. Now I hold that a fortnight
III a lump is not equal to a fortnight scat
tered over the hot season. Let stores close
at 4 or 5 p. m, and let employees have Sat-
urday afternoon besides and these shorter
hours spread along are better than two
weeks off. Why? Because a clerk comes
back to the store only to find back work
piled up and he must then work with twice
the steam to catch up at his desk. This
sets him back where he was when he left.
However, / do not press any pet plan. A
glimpse of wood and stream every day is
better than a holiday followed by a fever
ish effort to conquer back work. 1 believe
the Sunday question is practically a Sat
urday question. If stores formed a firm
combine for shorter hours the clerks would
give better service and / believe the sell
fish public would learn to go shopping when
the stores are open. / want to champion the
Sunday in the sensible way of removing
excuses which often have a good grain
of sense. AT least I will say so privately.
The church must get closer to the working
classes or forfeit her charter"

NO LONGER A REPUBLIC,
According to the View Of the Rev.
o. 8. HadIey.

Rev. o. S. Hadley. pastor of the Seventh
day Adventist Church, preached to a small
congregation last night on the prophecies
of Daniel. declaring. during the course of
his sermon, that the United States was no
longer a republic, but a government Of
''bossism,' which. like the republic of
Rome that was destroyed because of its
one-man power, is fast approaching it's end.
Mr.. Hadley said In part: The seventh
chapter of Daniel is symbolical of human
government. In this chapter God has
symbolized the world as the arena for
ferocious and rapacious beasts. AS the
world was long before the coming of
Christ, so it Is to-day-a place where men
kill and are killed. The underlying prin-
ciple that God instills with his prophecies
is that He is the ruler of all the world,
and that men are but the instruments of
His will. Nothing is truer than that mar
proposes and God disposes. God has shown
us that a republic under 'bossism,' or one
man power cannot long continue. and it
is with grave apprehension that / look to-
ward the future in this glorious country
of ours, in which we are fast departing
from the principles of our fathers. and are
day by day losing more and more of that
liberty so dear TO the American heart. The
history of Alexander and his victories are
but evidences of Gods wonderful purposes.
He used Alexander for a great purpose, for
each battle that he fought and won meant
the spreading of the Greek language. and
that language which obtained among the
nations for many years was the language
in which the Savior was TO speak to His
people.
"a Republican government has ever been
construed to mean a government of the
people. for the people and by the people.
and whenever the majority does not rule
In a republic. then il is no longer a re-
public, but a despotism. Rome had her
bosses I'm Caesar and Pompey, bur IL wasn't
long until only Caesar survived and the
republic of Rome entered into her era of
one-man power. which meant her dismem-
berment as a republican form OF govern
ment.
This. my people, is the condition of af-
fairs In the United States to-day. When
Caesar was killed the Romans said the
tyrant was dead, and so he was. but tyran-
ny still lived. and these are the very same
conditions that confront US In the United
States to-day. The Cubans We're romise
their freedom; the Fflipinos We're promised
their freedom. but now the bosses claim
that theze people are not ready to govern

themselves. How under the Constitution
of the United States can these people be-
come a part of us and yet be deprived OF
their liberties? Their rights are as inalien-
able as our own, but II has been decreed
by the powers that be that the time for
their liberation has not yet come. The
government Is no longer controlled by the
will Of the majority. but by the minority.
Our country to-day is assuming the role
that Rome played up to the time of her
downfall. 1t is the fulfllment of the
prophecy contained in the eighth chapter
of Daniel. AS Rome fell the United States
is going to fall. The time is coming when
every vestige of professionalism and repub-
licanism will be swept away. 1t Is time
for us TO awaken and take a firmer hold on
the enternal principles of life. When the
country falls IL will be the end of the end.
and that time is soon coming God help us
TO be prepared for the time"

NEW PASTORS FIRST SERMON.
Rev. Edward w. Strecker at St
PauI's Methodist Church.

Rev. Edward w. Strecker, recently from
the Boston University, delivered his first
sermon in this city yesterday morning at
ST. Paul's NJ. Z. Church, corner of Eugene
and RAIDER streets. North Indianapolis. At
the evening service the new minister was
greeted by a large congregation. He took
for his subject for this service "a Kings
Supreme Desire" He said in part: How
often is 1t when man is enjoying the bene-
fits of the earth that he is ready to meet
his Maker? The greatest boon We can
nave here below is a clean heart. Riches
and health are nothing when compared to
the infinite love of God for those who are
always ready and who go through life daily
with their hearts pure and filled with love
for their ~neighbors. The heart is the
source of all life and it should be free of
any vile defacements which are sometimes
lurking in its vicinity. To ward of these
influences without ever for one moment
encouraging them, brings us closer to the
throne of God. Man sometimes takes upon
himself too much, II again imagines
himself great among his fellow-beings, but
whatever he does comes from his Creator.
Man is but a tool or a machine carrying
out the word of God here on earth. Man
cannot create. Creation means the handi-
work Of God, and it is these things that
are given US TO know the infinite power
and wisdom of our Maker"

them without growing more cheerful over
