OUR FAITH IN RELIGION.
The Rev. DR.. Henderson Says Heaven
Is All About Us.

The Rev. DR. c. r. Henderson, of the
University of Chicago, occupied the pull
pit of the New York Avenue Church last
night DR. Henderson has been in at
tendance at the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections. Speaking on
the subject of Gospel Teachings" he
s&''I, in part:
If you trace back the electric wire that
supplies current to the electric lights and
electric cars, you will come to the power
house. SO, if you follow back the motive
for good deeds and charity you will find
that the powerhouse is the Gospel. 1t is
Of this powerhouse, the Gospel, that l
will speak.
THE love of God came forth not as an
expression of the divine will, but as part
of the divine sacrifice. Jesus has said to
his disciples, Because l live ye shall
live And since st. Paurs time thou
sands in life can say in anticipation of
the life in heaven. BY the grace OF God,
live in spirit of faith
God is in the world, every day-week
days. and holidays. Not as Carlyle pro-
tested against a false doctrine. an absen-
tee landlord. doing his will through an
gels. But here, through Christ, and the
Gospel of love, with us all the time
This loving, the law of the world, IS
the law for us-accepted by us. God is
with us. loving us. Our fathers talked of
an experimental religion. They were not
so sure of themselves. but they were sure
OF God. They walked by faith and not by
law. 1t was life of experience
THE kingdom of heaven is not yonder-
1t is here. 1t is within you so near ia
grandeur to our dust. 1t is, too, beyond
tho grave. When life is finished we will
tnd the kingdom of God on high But
they do not need saints above, there are
plenty of them there
Il would speak of the narrowness of
the agnostic. My objection to the secu-
larist is what he charges against my re-
ligion; that he is too narrow This world
needs religion, this world needs heaven,
it needs faith and hope. We need all the
help we can get The agnostic himself is
living such little life.
The agnostic's life is a prison: he
shuts out heavens light. He has but to
knock on the door to be released and to
obtain all the light he needs. Men get
used to darkness, but it is not a sign of
expansion; ii is q sign of contraction. |

principles of the old common aw, making
child a ward in chancery.
When 1t becomes necessary for the
State authorities to step in and look after
the care of child, he said, the first thing
which is done is to summon the parents
to court. Then he said the father, rscther
and child are allowed to tell their
stories and often the neighborS of the per-
sons interested are called to give testi-
mony in relation TO the matter. In brief
the State, through the juvenile court, as
sumes the duty of the parent, and cares
for the child
The Rev Mr. Hart, who made the clos
ing address. said in part:
There is in progress in the United
States an organic child-saving movement
II is not plan devised and put into exc
CutiOn by some wise individual or society.
1t is an evolution developed by inward
and unseen forces, but certain principles
are now clearly defined and generally ac-
cepted.
The principles underlying the move
ment are these: First. the great mother
State is responsible for the welfare of the
dependent and neglected child. When the
natural protectors of the child fail to
meet their obligation either through
death. misfortune, incapacity. or depravi-
ty. then the community. collectively or
individually, must assume the burden.
Second, environment, rather than heredl-
ty controls the destiny of the normal
ry home of virtuous, industrious people, is
the best institution under the sun for the
care of homeless, orphaned, and neglected
children.
mo cost is too great, if necessary in
order to save neglected children, but
it is generally agreed by the most
careful students of the subject
that the children who can be placed and
homes are better off than they can be
in even the best institutions
