nu Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, L. L.. Sept. SIN an
address at the bi-centenary celebra-
tion of the Christ Episcopal church
here today President Roosevelt talked
of the necessity of religion and clean
living for the welfare of the nation.
'I cannot understand any American
citizen" he said, "who has the faintest
feeling OF patriotism and devotion TO
his country, failing to appreciate the
absolute essential need of religion in
the broadest sense TO the welfare OF
his country.
'If it were not for the fact that in
our villages and towns as they have
grown up, the churches have grown up
in them and In the churches men whose
work is not for the things of the body
but for the welfare of the soul, it
would not be the nation that 1t is be-
cause the nation would not be a fit
abode for civilized man."
He said that our material foundation
OF wealth was but base for the spirit
ual growth Of the nation; while the
material ought not to be disregarded,
its real object ought not to be lost sight
Of
The mission of the church was not to
work in the interest of one sect. but
for humanity as a whole. The presi-
dent read several verses from the bible
to point out that not the hearers but
the doers Of the word were the true
followers of Christ. on the subject of
riches the president said:
There is nothing I abhor more than
the telling of an untruth, whether un-
conventional untruth or not, and
would on no account be understood as
affecting to deprecate well being.
ITO tell men to disregard either en-
tirely is to preach to them a doctrine
which it is impossible for them to live
up to, and which the preacher knows
perfectly well they will not try to live
up to.
But put riches below the things of
the soul. Give to the body what the
body is entitled to. The multi-million-
aire is not harm but good to the
community If he appreciates that he
is only trustee for that great wealth
that he is a trustee for the cause of
goodness
The president emphasized the neces-
sity of every man being thoroughly
self-supporting as a basis for spiritual
life. He concluded with the sentiment
that the only life really worth living
was one that made Others better be-
cause it had been lived
