TRUE RELIGION is EXPLAINED
Rev. Edward Everett Hale Delivers
Sermon in Unitarian Church.
All Men Have TasA to Perform, He
COntends-Several NOtabIes
Are Present.

Il must be about my Fathers busi-
ness" was the text used by Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain OF the United
States Senate. in his sermon yesterday
morning at All Souls Unitarian Church,
Fourteenth and l. streets northwest.
The chaplain drew a contrast between
the kind Of religion that delegates its
work to the higher officials of the church,
and that kind of religion in which each
member is himself an official
This is the true religion of the democ-
racy.' he said. for our religion, like our
government. must be of the people. for
the people, and by the people. This gives
every man task TO be performed. and
whether II be a boy who picks banana
skin or the sidewalk, or an army officer
who defends his country. all alike are
servants of the commonwealth"
He then compared the individual mem
bers Of society to a cell OF an organism
where the life of the entire organism de-
pended upon each tiny cell doing its work
faithfully
Among the large congregation present
were Senator Burroughs Of Michigan:
ex-senator William Z. Chandler Con-
gresham Littlefeld. of Maine. and other
men Of note.
