forceful sermon yesterday morning in
the Unitarian church I'm this city on the
insurance scandals, In which be said:
Every progressive people must I'M

Character Is the supreme need of our
age, During the last year. every

brought startling, sickening disheart.
ening revelations of financial crooked
ness and corruption In high places be-
trayals of trust by people who had
posed az the most trustworthy in the
land Drafting, as It is called, graft
ing everywhere, high and Low, greed
Unsuitable, ana unrestraued ana
shameless The literature ~ exposure
for the past year II simply appalling.
And we know the end is not yet There
Is more to come, II not worse. ! well
come It all, Not the condition but the
exposure. II Is a demonstration of the
need OF higher ethics I'm all business,
and especially at all points where busi-
ness and government touch each other.
We deeply need an ethical revival and
the prospect for II seems good just now.
why Is II that such a wave Of uu-
disguised admiration and irrepressibie
enthusiasm follows President Roose-

his opinions and many people DO not
agree with his doctrines, bat We never
had a President, not Washington, not
Lincoln, Garfield Mckinley or any
other, who, while living. received such
oyations or so held the admiration
and confidence Of the whole people OF
the United States. And 1t Is MI for
Just one quality, all that he has more
than other presidents have had of the
peoples worship, Is for one thing,
everybody believes that he Is honest.
II is high time, Indeed, that simple
honesty had its innings. But what
revelation is here as to the ethical de-
ficiency of men IN general when simple
honesty can evoke such praise, The
time is ripe for an ethical re-
vival We ought all to see into the
situation as far as we can and do our
part to help it on. First oe honest

INSANITY OF UNBELIEF,
Rev. +. /. Goshen spoke on the In
sanity Of unbelief' yesterday after
noon. before the Y. NJ. G. ~ in which
he said,
THE most wonderful thing made by
God s man, and the most wonderful
thing given unto his keeping Is his
mind. Through law and mind man
turns the crude pigment into the glo-
ries OF a picture, the rough stone into
the treasures Of sculpture. In har-
mony with Itself there is nothing more
beautiful than the human mind. out Of
harmony with itself, there Is nothing
more pitiable. Out OF harmony the
mind is like some magnificent harp that
was made to make the most beautiful
sounds for man, but its keyboard Is
broken"
Mr. Goshen depleted the discomfort
ed young man who left the farm Of his
parents and came to the city, where he
wrecked his young life in a career OF
dissipation, an insanity that robs life
Of all its sweetness and power Con-
tlnuing he said THE mednest fellow
you meet Is the good fellow. one form
Of insanity led young men 10 believe
that goodness were weakness. Good
ness were never anything but strength.
Clearness is power, II is sanity, but Il
Is insanity to refuse Gods love and aC-
cept his bounty The young man who
was provided with everything by his
parents, ava did not thank tsm was
an migrate and so were they who ala
not thank God for blessings bestowed.
MAN had tried materialism and It
had failed. No man can make It win,
because u is a false platform Mind
culture will fail II It stops short Of
God, and Il Is true Il Is a barrenness
which teaches its own end. It was In
sanity to turn away from God in his
prefer OF friendship. When man or
woman doggedly refused 70 accept az
a standard Of life the purest character
that life has known Il IS insanity.
Christ came with great, insistent de-
mand that you open your heart with
all activity and fulness 10 your God,
your Father. This Is Gods legitimate
