ALL SECTS MUST UNITE
FOR EFFECTIVE WORK
Chaplain Pierce Says Dogma Requires
Suppression.

Plain words upon the duty of all
Christian churches to harmonic for the
benefit of mankind were spoken last
night by Chaplain Pierce of the United
States Army, in the course Of sermon
delivered at Trinity Episcopal Church,
Third and c Streets northwest.
Chaplain Pierce took as his general
subject the alienation OF men from Cod
and its causes. The principal cause he
attributed to ignorance. People Of strong
minds and intellect were often unbeliev-
eTs because they declared they could
not know God. Il was the duty OF the
church TO make Him known TO such
people.
So long as the church was divided into
sects and cTeeds, split up by dogmas and
schisms. 50 long men would be in doubt
as TO Gods identity. The church should
unite, so far as possible. in order that
it might preach truth in its fullest
sense, and that there could be 10 doubt
on the part of any man as to the God it
wOrshiped. Such united church would
be mighty in its power to conquer Di-
vision means uncertainty. Dogma should
be put on a working basis and sup
pressed, so far as it concerned the ev-
eTyday life of the Christian.
The terms Of the church 10 mankind
today are not sufficiently practical and
Dc not permit wide enough divergence
of views. The simple knowledge OF Cod
as contained in the Scriptures was sufl-
cient for all men.
Another cause for the alienation Of
man from God, Chaplain Pierce de
clared. was the personal caricature' Of
God in Christians and members Of the
church. It was unfair, however TO com
pare Christians with Christ. Christ was
the ideal. The comparison Of Christians
should be that Of their life before be
coming Christians with their life after
ward Every Christian represented an
individual comparison. It was wrong TO
expect men 10 live equal 10 Christ. They
could be Christ-Hke. but nothing more

Mr.. MICHENER TALKS
OF Y. NJ. c. A. JUBILEE
Address at Metropolitan Memorial
Church

c. c, Kitchener. OF the international
committee Of the Young Mems Christian
Association, delivered an interesting ad-
dress on the hftieth anniversary of the
Washington Y. NJ c. A. at the Metro
poIitan Memorial Church, yesterday

and history of the local association.
he said in Part:
The city has been the center Of in
duence and power. not only in modern
but in all civilization. In twenty years
the cities Of America will rule every
thing. The problems Of the city. there
fore, become the greatest problems Of
the land, and at the centers Of each
Of these problems IS the young man.
Competition resolves itself into q ques-
ton of character, and, other things be-
ing equal. the Christian man has the
advantage Iii the world.
All social questions center around the
young man with so many destructive
influences that it is strange that as
many are as decent as they are. The
facts regarding the conditions of young
men would often lead one to despair,
were it not for the uplifting influences
and positive known results in the Chris
tan life sympathy is the greatest need
of the average young man in the city.
The intensely selfish life Of most of US
allows him to receive the sympathy from
those who ruin him.
The ladies by their interest and per
sonal influence. the young men by their
activity and leadership, and the business
men by their gifts and management Of
the affairs Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. viii be able to do a great
deal Of service to men. This young
mems organization Is not charity, but
comes TO give the man who wishes to
make anything of himself a chance in
life"
