Brought on a Naval Vessel

After a conference this morning between
Secretary Morton and Acting Secretary
LOOMS it was announced that a decision
had been reached to have the remains of
John Paul Jones, unearthed by Ambassa
dor Porter in Paris, brought to the United
States at the proper time in a naval vessel
with a proper convoy Upon arrival in
American waters the remains will be re-
ceived with full naval honors, and the pres
ent intention is that they shall be inferred

which will transport the remains has not
yet been selected, nor will it be until the
summer plans for the joint army and navy
operations in the Chesapeake have been
perfected 1t is probable that the removal
will take place some time in June. and
perhaps Mr. Porter will remain in Paris
though relinqushing his ambassadorial du-
ties before that time, to see the rema. ms
properly embarked.

HAMLINE's NEW PASTOR.
Rev. DR.. Carl g. Doney breaches First
Sermon Here.

Bishop Earl Cranston introduced Rev.
DIR. Carl G. Doney, the new pastor of Ham
line NJ. f. Church. to his congregation at
the service yesterday morning. Rev. DR.
Doney was recently transferred from the
King Avenue NJ. E. Church of Columbus,
Ohio, exchanging places with Rev. DR.. Luz
c:en Clark formerly pastor of HamHne
Church of this city.
DR.. Doney said he would take his labors
greatly to heart and asked for the CO.
operation of the members of the congrega-
ton. In his initial sermon he said tina.
man yearns to know God as Father and
that he can only know Him thus through
Christ.
Man knows" he continued, THAT He
who is God must be infinitely great, all
powerful and all-knOwing, but the term
God does not of necessity include for man
the attributes of love, tenderness, mercy,
morality and holiness. The hunger of nus
nature cries for these His pain and igno-
rance and despair and sin and sorrow send
him searching for some bosom of comfort
for some hand of guidance. Let us speak
of three possible ways of finding the Fa-
therhood of God: Through nature, history
and Christ.
The stupendous forces of nature, the
sublime harmony and order, reveal GOD
splendor, handiwork and power, and speak
of His wisdom and might. God has. in
deed, bound up in the natural world over
whelming might. but power does not re-
veal moral rectitude and infinite love. Meas
ure the bounds of space, follow the flight OF
light, $4,000 miles per second; five years
coming from the nearest star. Man sends
his mind across these vast horizons, but
he nowhere finds guide for conscience or
a love that grips his heart.
I'm history is the record of mans work
ing, of himself thrown out activity lii
forms of tangibleness. His mind, heart
and will from the beginning until now have
recorded them selves. Trace them back 20
the misty vanishing point and nowhere
will you find the Fatherhood of the Crca-
tor. He that hath seen Me hath seen the
Father said Jesus. He declared to man
what mans searching had never d1scov-
cred. He did not reveal God in His omn'p-
otence or omniscience; these were alr@a dy
conceived and known. 1t was revelation
of God as moral, righteous. He revealed
God in the moral splendor of true Father
hood.
Jesus revealed God in Himself, there
fore in Jesus find Him adopting the
race. He gives strength for our weak
ness, wisdom for our ignorance, comfort
for our sorrow, pardon for our repented sins
and grace for Christian living. All thus
means for you and me undying gratitude
to God and unceasing service for His
cause"
