SERMON BY DIR. GREGORY.
Pastor of Adams Street Church on
 "Civic Righteousness"

Pastor of Adams Street Church on
 "Civic Righteousness"
 The pastor, Dr. Oliver Fuller Gregory took as his text, Matt. xxii,21: "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. /" After speaking of the amazement of the people at the authority with which Christ spoke; and of the attempts of the Pharisees and lawyers to trap him with their questions, he gave the text as the answer to a hypocritical question framed so as to fiatter his vanity as a teacher, and throw him off his guard, as the short est and best political sermon ever preach ed, and announced as his theme, The Relation of the Individual Christian to Civic Righteousness"
 Only a few sentences here and there of the sermon are given.
 Christ meant that every man has i'm portant civil duties to perform as well as religious ones, and he can not rightfuIly neglect or evade either of them. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar $" defines the requirements of good citizen ship with all proper safeguards and lim- ttations' and at the same time with all proper stringency and force. In despotic form of government these duties are re- duced to the minimum, but living as we do under a government of our own, mak- Ing, and rulers. of 0r1 own choice, there Is IartH woego It involves oecoience{ 70 tnt able citizen snlp' ana tnSPe ol .'' all the Va- rleo ciVii toSerlSa tb spring from our reiauof myp S'r'f hd the State.

THE RIGHTEOUS CITY.
Sermon Delivered by Rev. Neal L.
 AndAraoT1

AuQSrSon.
 Rev. Neal l.. Anderson, pastor of tbs Central Presbyterian Church took for his text, Isaiah i.26: Thou shalt be called the city of righteousness.
 In introducing his sermon the speaker referred to the remarkable unanimity of purpose among the Montgomery pastors. all of whom had agreed to sneak unon the subject of Civic righteousness" or in the Hebraism of the text. 'The city of righteousness"
 He said in part:
 Tt has been the custom of this pulpit for a decade to preach once or twice every year upon the duties of citizeu- ship, but never perhaps in the history of Montgomery has there been such an em- phasis upon this subject as Is found in the fact that every pastor has agreed to make this theme his message for this morning A consideration of the siRnifI- canoe of this fact win largely form the message I have for you today.
 CD My text in it's context exposes the modern faIlacy that religion Is not con cerned with civic interests. The attempt was made in the time of Isaiah thus to divorce religion from the daily interests

Ministers of Montgomefy. members of
 the Ministers Union, yesterday at the
 morning services entered into an united
 appeal to their congregations for civic
 righteousness.
 Last week at the meeting of the Min. ister,s Union of Montgomery. 1t was de- cided that concentrated effort should be put forth by the pastors of the
 churches of every denomination to call
 the attention of their people to what
 they considered a growing evil, the lack |of righteousness in government. At the
 same meeting 1t was decided that on the following Sunday every minister should address himself to his congregation on this subject.
 More than usual interest was centered on the church services yesterday Inter- est was chiefly centered on the sermons on account of a prevalent impression that the ministers would devote their remarks
 to Sunday baseball. Through the infiu-
 ances of the Ministers Union of Mont gomery, 1t will be remembered a law
 was enacted by the last Legislature against the playing of baseball on the
 Sabbath day.
 Since the adoption of this law, the schedule of the Southern League has
 been announced and the schedule for ex-
 hibition games. Two exhibition games are scheduled for Sundays.
 The common impression was that the
 sermons of the Ministers would be solely directed against Sunday baseball. More than ono minister touched on Sun- day base ball and some of the spoke of
 the scheduling of games in Montgomery
 for Sunday in no uncertain terms, de-
 nouncing it as wrong morally and as a fragrant defiance of the law.
 But Sunday base bah was only subor-
 dinate feature of the general subject.
 From the pulpits came appeals for more righteous government, for officers. na- tional. State. County and municipal to
 act in their official capacities more in ac- cordance with their religious tendencies
 and to the people to use ther every en-
 deavor to see civic righteousness .estab- lished.
 Several ministers called attention to al- legged Sunday violations by saloons and
 described 1t as a growing evil. alleged open gaming and the operation of houses of i'll repute. All appealed to the reiig- ious clements of ths people to use their
 every effort to secure change In condi- tions.
