ranged on the lawn for the audience.

DR. DR.. PARSON PREACHED
ON ECHOES OF THE 4TH"
Discourse On Christianity and Patriot
ism of American People.

Echoes OF the Fourth was the sub
Ject or patriotic sermon preached yes
teIday morning at the Church of the
Reformation by the Rev. DIR. w. E. Par
son, the pastor. The general tenor was
the Christianity and patriotism of the
American people, and was based on the
text from Mark kill. Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars. and
to God the things that are Gods" In
developing his text DR.. PEARSON said in
part:
1T was a fitting reply to those who
came In hypocritical way to ensnare
the Master 1t has In it the true duties
Of Christian citizen. l turn to this
thought because we are still hearing the
echoes of the Fourth. Christianity has
in II every phase of life and duty. II
1t took man or woman out of the world
to shut them up in cloister or convent,
We might say that it was too unworldly.
The true intent of all right religion is
to fit for duties in any and every sphere;
to remake the man by making him use
full; to remake the world by lifting up
the highest ideals.
The thing which we see in the fore
ground now among the nations is the
quest OF human freedom. How far can
the individual be free in his allegiance
to government. to society. and TO God
The Savior has given us in this short
sentence a philosophy OF government
which seems to correspond closely TO
what we have worked out here in free
America. Caesar stands for the state,
| God stands for religion. These are sep
arate as Christ sets them out. We have
| separated them in our form of govern
ment.
! washington, in his inaugural address,
speaks almost like a sermon. He said:
No people can be bound to acknowledge
/ a,id adore the invisible hand which con-
ducts the affairs of men more than those
Of the United States
1T is not difficult to render patriotic
and cheerful service when We sec oul
land moved by the humane and lofty
ideals which from the first have had {
place in the American people and hav'
been interpreted to US by such grea
souls as Washington, Lincoln. Grant. and
Mckinley. not to mention the vast army
of those in private life who have beer
true to the same ideals

NO ADEQUATE HISTORY
OF COUNTRY YET WRITTEN
Spirit of Institutions Not Sufficiently
Emphasized, Says Rev. Mr.. winbigler.

Loyalty to God and Country" was
the subject of a patriotic sermon
preached yesterday morning by the Rev.
Charles F. Winbigler. pastor of the First
Baptist Church. Mr.. Winbigler said that
history of the United States which will
do justice to all it's institutions and to
the spirit which inspired them is yet
to be written. So far historians have
presented only distinctive character
istics of the history OF the nation
THE people OF the United States love
their institutions. which are the out
growth Of the spirit of liberty" said
Mr.. Winbigler. To be loyal to oul
country We must appreciate. as well al
defend, our institutions. The Fourth o.
July stands for American Independence
washington's Birthday stands for indi-
vidual life in the manifestation of the
purest Americanism: Thanksgiving DAY
stands for our social Institutions. There
need be no fear for the future of oui
nation If the spirit of these days is
rightly observed"

AMERICANS MUST BEAR
BURDENS OF HUMANITY
Responsibilities Laid Upon Them by
Providence of God.

The Rev. NJ. Ross Fishburn delivered
a patriotic sermon yesterday at the
Mount Pleasant Congregational Church.
He took as his text Psalm cxlvii:2O:
He hath not so dealt with any ma
ton"
Mr.. Fishburn said that while these
words were first spoken of the Hebrews
they applied with peculiar aptness to
the people of the United States The
first and best evidence of the truth OF
this was the class of men whom God Sc
lected to explore and settle the country
in its early days, men whose fine char
acters and noble purposes left an i'm
press upon American life which can
never be effected
America is also distinguished among
the nations because of its responsible
ties and opportunities. II can and mast
advance not only on its own account.
but it must furnish an example Of higher
citizenship, politically, socially and
spiritually, TO the other nations OF the
earth. In summing up Mr.. Fishburn
said:
laid upon US. First. we must keep the
sources of our own virtue and religion
pure for the sake of the native-boci. n
our land. We must cultivate in our Own
sons and daughters a white-souled pa
triotism. Secondly, we must American
lie and Christianize the incoming masses
that continually pour in upon our shores,
We must overcome their evil with our
good. Thirdly, we must yield our ma
burdens. Across the seas to the west
ward and to the eastward are ignorance,
moral darkness, and many human
wrongs, while within our borders are
light and liberty. Americas working
day for humanity. instead of closing
has only dawned."

pense of Funeral.

The slight mystery surrounding the
death of Frederick w. Myers. who was
found dead on vacant lot at Fifteenth
and c Streets northwest. Saturday
morning. was cleared away yesterday by
an autopsy showing that his demise had
been due to kidney trouble.
The police have learned that Myers
ran away from home some years ago
and enlisted in the army. AS a result 81
this action he gained the i'll will of his
father, Frederick W. Myers, ST.. of Lock
wood, Mo.
When the police yesterday telegraphed
the elder Myers of the death of his son,
reply was received Chat the body
should be buried here at the expense OF
the District government.
The funeral will be in charge of c. II

The condition OF John Symonds, who.
with five other boys, was burned and
cut by the explosion Of a chemical
Volcano. on the lawn In front Of POO
G. Street northwest. on Saturday, is re-
ported as serious at the Emergency
Hospital today. While the injuries will

foreseen complications arise, the wounds
are severe and may result in blood
poisoning.
The other victims of the accident have
been sent home.
The physicians believe that none OF
the youths will suffer any serious i'll
effects from the explosion, except Sy-
monds and, perhaps, George Lorenz,
aged nine years, who was burned about
the eyes. 1t is feared that the sight
of one eye may be slightly impaired.

preached his first sermon before q
Washington congregation at the Church
of the Covenant yesterday morning. The
Rev. Mr.. Richards will occupy the same

the pastor, the Rev Teunis S. Hamlin.
is away on his vacation.
Dr. Richards Is a young man, but a
powerful and Impressive speaker His
subject was "Aggressiveness,' and his
sermon well delivered. The text was
from Exodus xiv:15: And the Lord said
unto Moses. wherefore criest thou unto
that they go forward"
The incident of the text" said the
speaker, lis crisis in the life Of the
Hebrew people. They are under the
necessity Of choosing between two posi-
BILE courses of action-to face inevitable
defeat in the rear. or TO go forward into
waters that disclose no path. To remain
motionless upon the bank is really to
elect the former alternative. for the
hosts of Egypt are waiting TO sweep
down on the infant nation and claim IL
| to the old bondage. Moses receives the
direction to speak the forward word. and
the result is the salvation of the people.
Life is full of incidents OF just this
undergraduates and doubts that leave
US no middle ground. We must go for

purpose OF the past or claim the rich
ness OF the future. 1t is only by goine
