"RELIGIOUs lVA!GARIEs.'
Dr.. Young Points Out How God
Turns Superstitions to Good.

Dr Young had as his subject last night
NJ Centenary Church, Religious Fasa-
rios and How God Often Bless THOSE
Who Believe Them.
His text was Matthew TX: 2O-22 He
said, in part, MS follows: ,"",rhe idea OF TINS
woman that there might be virtue IN me
very ga rments OF the Master was q super
stition. Tho Master Himself gave her
healing, because he knew hon faith, u
faith that was genuine. in spite OF Mer
blunder, Indeed her blunder was indica-
,ye Of her faith re she lo sS,a of Jesus ala
not permit Him, TO rob the woman or u tnat
great blessing. for which she came win
so much OF the, faith OF CHRISTIANS IN
every age there have been mixed super
stitions and Nngaries OF various sorts,
as well as erroneous conceptions OF great
doctrines 1t, Is one OF the, proofs OF the
Divine love that It; oyerrldes such DIM,
Gods power. 1t teaches us that what
Christ requires OF us is first Of all tho
to receive & ODDS blessing, and to see Ms
hand in our lives. 1t teaches us that
faith also is more than belief, mnd very very
often exist side by side Win Dellcls INA
ed confessions OF faith and creed-faith,
which is a vision OF the unseen ana
trust GOD and inl,sI II s poHyer even
lesson That It must not look too narrowly
at the beliefs of lis ndherents, provided
the great essentials are held, and that
there lisa basis Of union much broader
and also more real than the item of be-
lief of dogma. Nor are we to forget that
the passing of the years has sftcd out
from the beliefs OF tho churches much
once considered all important, but now
not only esteemed OF little worth, but
even IN some cases quite hurtful, Per-
hapS there are but few of us even to-
day who do not hold some opinion that
a wider knowledge might lead us to sur
render. So we need to be the more mere
mericul 10 others, whose Views of Chris
tian truth may seem 10 us strange, and
rejoice II they exhibit In their lives the
graces of Christian character. Evil
is apt to arise whenever u man comes
to insist on the value OF his Yagary, and
emphasizes 1t altogether out of proper
ton to other things so that the truth Is
obscured, and the essential things of
faith are overlooked. Sometimes ! think
some of our UNCONVENTIONAL distinctions
almost assume his relation 10 our Chris
tian thought and life. 1t Is not to be
thought that we are not to try to COR
rect the vagaries, whether OF ourselves or
of others, We must guard the beliefs of
the church, and seek TO deliver mon from
great essentials Of the Gospel. 1t is we'll
nigh criminal, when once We know our
mistakes in matters Of this sort, II we
do not seek to know the truth, in all it's
simplicity and all Its clearness"
