MORTAL AND DEITY ALIKE
MUST BEAR SUFFERING
Sacrifices Always Accompanying
Good Deeds, Says Minister Who
Discusses Crucihxion.
CITES BIBLICAL LESSON

Before a large congregation at the Taber-
nacle yesterday morning the Rev. J.. Cum
ming Smith spoke on THE Death of Jesus. +"
1T is not necessary for us TO be in trouble
or SHINING to have God reveal himself and
comfort and help the weak and weary, y
said the pastor. He stand ready TO help
at any time. II is the essential genius of
God TO disclose himself. We must not
dream that some dire accident or throeful
calamity is the only possible event that
could draw Infinite love forth from Sc
crecy."
The preacher likened God and His love TO
a sun lighting the world with a pure light.
He said:
I'VE must at the outset disclaim all pre-
tense to understanding the complete pur-
pose of the incarnation, whose farseeing in
fiuences. for aught we know, may reach
ont TO other worlds.
Some things we may try to speak or
syllable out. The first is that the ultimate
object of the life and death of our Lord is
the manifestation of God the Father in
such a way as to induce an alienated world
10 return to Him.. Consequently, even If our
race had never been struck with sin. IL
might have lain within the possibility Of
the Fathers plans to stoop to an %incarnate
form in order to unveil His nature to His
cropping children.
'"The fact of sin is not the final explana-
ton. 1t is the essential genius of God TO
disclose himself.
universe God must take mans place or
man can never be drawn up TO Gods place.
'Sacrllce Is normal ana rot abnormal.
From the lowest and almost voiceless
realms Of life to the very loftiest levels
of thought and heroic achievement there
Is one stern imperious proclamation that
whose lifts others up must pay the price in
pain.
The shadow of the cross lies across the
whole earth. To suppose that Christ could
nave inspired weak, SHINING humans toward
the most development without descending to
the deepest abysms of their sorrow is to
suppose that the sunlight that battles the
aaVI aYI-.-.ff nnHl1 call forth Hhn 1Nx Nrrf
ance of verdure in the valleys without going
lower.
mo demon OF vengeance prompted the
sacrifice of Jesus. There was no sullen re-
luctance on the part OF God the Father
which the Son by suffering was sent to
soothe or break down. Forgiveness lies as
near to Gods love as the birds care for a
brood. 1t is an indestructible part of His
architectural being"
His fatherhood is the fountain Of grace.
God so loved that He gave The only OBJ
stacle lies in human nature"

PASTOR LAUDS LINCOLN
FOR RELIGIOUS VIEWS
Shows in Sermon that Absence of
Orthodox Belief Was Not
His Failing.
IDEAL FOR POLITICS

Abraham Lincoln was not religious in
any formal sense" said the Rev. f.. L.
Newbert. pastor of the All Souls Unitarian
Church. in his sermon yesterday morning.
Certainly he was not orthodox. 1t is
said of him that he believed in God and
hoped for Immortality. He did believe in
God and he believed in prayer. but he would
not join any church. for he could not sub
scribe to any creed. His reason must be
satisfied.
w know that he was a great reader of
the New Testament, but he once said that
God had too much to do and more i'm
portant things to attend to than to inspire
such insignificant writer's as had written
some parts of the Bible.
He could not accept the doctrine of the
atonement, for ne considered il illogical and
unjust and a premium on evil-dOing. Nor
could he believe in miracles; but he did
believe in the laws of nature and found God
In order and method rather thar in the
violation of natural laws. 1t is related thst
a delegation called at the White House
have God on his side. He said that he had
side.
Our new religious thinking and social
plan and education and ethics all aim to get
humanity on the side OF God by lifting up
10 higher levels. What Lincoln did or did
not believe matters little, perhaps. That
he gave himself to a great cause and lived
the large life and conquered in the fight
for freedom is everything.
Born in 1903, the life OF Lincoln falls in
a great epoch. The spirit of Democracy
was abroad, and ii was impossible that the
century should come to an end without a
de~ath-grapple between old systems and the
Word. What an event our civil war; How
great the cost! How boldly stands out the
central figure!
Il think of the poverty and obscurity of
Lincoln's boyhood: / think of the young
man at work on the Mississippi hatboat: l
think OF him as a grocer's clerk; and l ask
what Is there about this young man, born
to poverty, to commend him to his age.
"A crisis was upon the country, and men
doubted the ability of Lincoln. But he
proved himself the man for the hour.
Lincoln belongs TO the ages. How great
his name! What an inspiration to the
American youth What an ideal he gives
for American politics. How like the very
incarnation of the spirit of real religion is
his life"

THEATER FIRE TEACHES
A LESSON TO THE NATION
Suffering Must Come Before Bless
ingS Can Be Enjoyed, Says
Bedford Minister.
SORROW HAS MINISTRY

Disasters like the recent Chicago Theater
fire were cited from the pulpit yesterday
as examples of national sorrows which al
ways accompany a nations prosperity. The
Rev. r. Scott Hyde. of Bedford. was the
speaker at the F1etcher-place NJ. L.
Church.
1.-The Ministry of Sorrow was his topic.
Life Is a very strange mingling of JOY and
SORROW" he said. 81 believe that our di-
vine parent intended that Joy should be the
dominant note in the experience of every
man. This world was built for Joy.
"A spice plant gives forth its most fra
grant perfume after being bruised and
crushed No stringed instrument can give
forth its liquid notes till every string is
stretched till IL shivers with pain.
susceptibility TO suffering proves how far
man Is removed from the brute. and how
near he is TO God. Separation, sickness and
death are contingencies OF the future. The
great destruction OF life in the Chicago holo-
cause sent a wave of sorrow rolling across
the country that turned all hearts toward
the scenes of death and disaster. Sorrow
Is universal. Man Is knit in with his kind.
And to all who have sacrificed for hui
mainly. We are swift to put their names
IN the catalogue OF human greatness.
And SO we AVE come To speak of the
glorious company of the apostles and the
martyrs because We honor their sufferings
kind.
"No matter how dark the Affections of the
present hour may seem, there Is always
this rift in the cloud, this lifting of the
shadows, this sure and certain hope OF life
and joy and gladness in the world to come"

PLAYS AS ADJUSTMENTS
Rev. Philputt Takes Query, Does
1t Pay as Theme for His
Discourse.
ALL LOSS; NO PROFIT

The Sire and birthstone" doctrine OF JON
athan Edwards was praised yesterday
morning by the Rev. Allen y. Philputt at
Central Christian Church as preferable to
the modern religious beliefs Of business
men. He compared the profit and loss
system TO Bible teachings. His text was
from Mark viii. 80. What doth it profit a
man If he gain the whole world and forfeit
his Hfe?"
This question" said he. ''~propounded to
a generation Of sharp traders and bargain
hunters whose passion was earthly greed
was no more timely then than now.
ITO the men who are straining every en-
ergy to gain the world, rising early and
working late. seheming subtiy with the
forces and methods OF business, dropping
dead at fifty and failing TO enjoy what they
have accumulated. the Master would still
put the question, Does ~ pay?'
ITO those who sacrifice their intellectual
life upon the altar OF a sOrdid ambition,
who take no interest in literature and art,
I'm science and friendship, to whom Millions
thoughts, or LongfellOW's and Winters
sweet verse are as though they had never
been. whose only recreation is cheap plays,
trashy novels and puerile amusements, who
can talk intelligently on no subject but
their own narrow pursuits, the question
may come with timely force, Does 1t payY
The loss of spiritual life IS involved.
Why should a man be immortal If he is TO
give himself 10 the small things and ignore
the greater?. If we are 10 pursue the phan-
toms OF earthly reward at such a cost, and
OF our own choice take the doubtful and
evanescent blessings in preference TO the
true riches of the soul. why claim immOr-
tally for MANI Why confer Immortality
upon that part OF our nature which we will
ingly allow TO atrODhy here below?
81 would rather chance it in a literal lake
OF fire, as pictured by Jonathan Edwards,
at the caprice of al angry God, than 10
submit to the memorable decree Of law and
fate. 1t is q dire outlook TO those who live
not according to the law Of righteousness.
AL the pictures Of an angry Deity and a
world Of flame and suffering, with the vic
Tins calling for the rocks and hills to fall
on them, pale before the fate of those under
the wise OF law and destiny. Truly must
we cry out for help, that we perish not.
Here is the voice Of warning: Labor
not for the meat that perisheth, but for
that meat which endures unto everlasting
ufe.'"
