CHRlSTIANIZE AMERICA
AND SAVE THE WORLD
REV. WILLIAM HORACE DAYS
ELOQUENT SERMON
Minister Declares Work of Redemp=
tion Should Begin at Home, but
Should Also Spread to Lands
Beyond the Seas

At the First Congregational church,
Rev. William Horace Day preached on
the theme Save the World to Save
America" at yesterday mornings S
service.
The work of Christianizing the world
finds three classes in the church, those
who believe in it and promote it, those
who do not believe in it because they
are stingy and plead charity should
begin at home in order that they may
prevent it beginning anywhere, and an
other class who believes that the ulti-
mate duty of the church is to reach
the world, but believe that America
must first be saved before we have a
right to divert money and energy to
work beyond. They would say L am not
certain of foreign missions till the home
work is done though our duty is to the
world there are times when we must
save ourselves that we may help others
A man in the rapids must swim out
before he can get a rope to his sinking
companion. 1t is to this latter class
want to present this for considera-
ton.
Idle Hands Are Dangerous
IF we try to save the world we have
taken the longest step toward the re-
demption of our own land. Bishop
Potter was right when he said to the
New York chamber of commerce:
There cannot be great wealth without
great temptation to Incidence, to vice,
and to political and social corruption.
There cannot be wealth in idle hands
the hands of those who have not made
it-Without an accentuation of those
dangers
AT this point the nations Of an
tiquity went down to ruin, and more
than one nominal Christian nation has
sunk to the bottom because she lived
in the atmosphere of a vitiated Christ
ianity. The misuse of leisure which
rapid increase of wealth destroyed AS
syria, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
'ProVincialism in business makes the
merchant petty. Provincialism in men
tai life lowers culture. Provincialism in
the things pertaining to the kingdom
Of God deprives our religion of the
note of world conquest and makes
preaching insipid, the sacraments a
dead form and the heart of the church
a stone.
Few recent events in this city have
deeper significance than the Young
Peoples Missionary institute just con-
cluded. These young people met to-
gether to increase the power of the
world vision over their lives. We will
never do most for our own country
till we have learned the height ana
depth of brotherhood"

The medium also informed Mr. Sull-
van that the mine was soon to be a
bonanza. Taking this cue from the
spiritualist, Mr. Sullivan Immediately
left San Francisco. and arrived in Pres
colt. lie was hardly off the train when
he located his long lost brother, ami
after a separation of over 20 years the
greeting was mutual in affection and
joy. They both went to the Great Re
public mine, and after a few days
visit, ID. +, Sullivan returned 10 Pres
cott, and then left for Washington. He
found the picture drawn by the spirit
halist accurate In every respect, as 10

10 the present state and future development OF
au1omobillng. including automobile legislation
automobile contests. good roads, fuels and Gus
tom house regulations. The foreign tour which
gives Its title 20 the book is perhaps the least
interesting or valuable part of it. One expert
ence or friend OF the authors In Switzerland
is worth noting for the benefit OF other autono-
oitists passing that way. Driving slowly through
the insignificant village OF Evonette, on the
shores Of Lake Geneva, the motorist was ar
rested and fined twenty-five francs for exceeding
the speed limit, which he then learned was four
miles an hour! Investigation on the part Of Mr.
ScarEtt revealed the fact that this drastic regu-
lation enables the village officials to seize and
fine every motorist who passes through the town,
the officials dividing the receipts with the munic-
ipality.
Writing of the future Of the automobile, the
author expresses great confidence that America
VIII soon be able TO compete on equal terms
with the French manufacturers, owing to the
recent introduction here of specially designed
machinery for making high grade forged auto
mobile parts. He goes further, and prophesies
mat by the year 1910 the automobile will be in
common use by the farmers Of the United States,
when 1t will need no defender, it will have
conquered all opposition. all hearts. and
taken its fixed place as one OF the benefcent
factors in modern civilization" Mr. Scarritt
also sees in denatured alcohol the coming fuel
