THE CHURCH HIS THEME.
DR.. Hobart Discusses Pillar and
Ground of Truth


THE church the pillar and the ground
of truth" was the subject of sermon
preached by Rev. D. A. s. Hobart of the
Crozier Theological Seminary at Chester
Pa, at the Calvary Baptist Church yester-
day morning, in the absence Of the pastor
Rev DR.. Samuel H. Greene.
THE church," said DR.. Hobart In passing,
is looked upon by some as a blessing and
by some as public nuisance. AS evildoers
see the church It Is a nuisance because It
is ever trying to thwart their plans and
purposes. Others regard the church as the
best of all our Institutions for through it
Is revealed the greatest and most vital
truths.
Truth means facts. and, above all things
men want facts about the death and res
direction of Jesus of Nazareth; they want
facts about the life to come; they want
facts about the kingdom of heaven: facts
about its King and its citizens. When men
get knowledge of these things it changes
the whole tenor of their lives. No astron-
omer or philosopher ever discovered truths
which WELD SO great an influence over the
the church. Men have been sorely afflicted
and have wondered and murmured until
they learned the great truth that all things
work together for good to them that love
God "
DR.. Hobart also officiated at the evening
service yesterday.

DEFINITE PURPOSE IN LIFE.
Theme of Discourse at open-Aif
Services at st. Alban's.

A large congregation at the open air
services at St. Adams, on the site OF the
National Episcopal Cathedral. listened yes
terday afternoon to q sermon by Rt Rev.
W. L. Gravatt. bishop coadjutor Of West
Virginia. Rev Charles c. Pierce, chaplain
OF the United States army, stationed at
Fort Myer, conducted tho services, music
for which was furnished by the orchestra
Of the Marine Band.
Tho necessity for a definite purpose in
life was the bishops theme. He said in
part:
That voice Of duty. of purpose, when It
calls beckons us to no easy task. This
world Is strange medley of confusion.
For some there is only the straight path
they often question whether it makes
any difference what they choose. Yet
whatever road we choose We know that
we have missed something. II we have
not decided on some purpose In life. If
q man Is wholly self-centered. his powers
are inadequate. His purpose should shift
the center of his gravity from himself
to the outside world In which he lives
that the time will come when 1t will be
difficult to tell whether he chose the pur-
pose or 1t chose him. 1t should introduce
order and law into our shifting emotions
what to leave undone.
"A purpose saves US from indifference.
1t gives US standard OF judgments. By
1t we find that life is not in vain. 1t
makes us feel that we and the world
were made for each other. When We have
1t we feel that we have proof of God.
Indeed, the Godlessness SO prevalent to-
day springs from the lack Of purpose We
notice all around US. In private life, too.
purpose Is ebbing away. Few can find
anything better than the mere. means of
support. They take up the first job that
comes to them. They become cogs merely
in the vast Industrial machine.
But there is purpose for us all. We
are here that we may find work in the
world. We should dedicate ourselves to
some noble purpose. 1t should be some
thing good, true, helpful. and endure
when we have gone. Without It our best
manhood amounts to naught. We should
realize that God has a work for each man
to do and that we should follow Jesus
onward to making the world better than
it was before"
