| II IL IS seized by the man who holds it as
giving the chance to do Yet more useful
work for the people whom he serves I
greet you here. Bishop Ingram. because
you have used your office in the aid OF man
Kind. and while you have served all YOU
have realized that the greatest need Of
service was for those TO whom east lad
been given in this world.
Good That Will Be Done.
II believe so implc tly In the good that
will be done by and through this cathedral.
Bishop Satterlee. because 1 know that you
and those with you. the people of your
church. the people of your kindred
churches. to one O which | belong are
growing more and more to realizr that they
must show by their lives how well they APP
preciate the truth Of the text that they
shall be judged by their fruits. More and
more we have grown to r'al'ze that the
worth of the professions of the msn OF any
creed must largely be determine by the
conduct of the men making those ~ ofes-
SONS: that conduct Is tn, touchston, by
which we must test their character and
their SERVICE And while there is much that
Is evil in the times. l want to call your at
| tention to the fact that it was a good many
centuries ago that the Latin hymn was
composed which said that the world was
| very EVIL and that the times re growing
. light. The TINES ara ey.l-that is tn IRE IS
much that is evil in them. 1t would be to
our shame and discredit IL We failed to
recognize that evil: II We wrapped ours lives
In the mantle of foolish optim SIN. and
failed to war with heart and strength
against the evil; II would be equally to our
d:scredit |: We sank back in sullcn n ssh
m!sm and declined to str.ve fJr good be-
cause W. feared the strength Of evil There
is much EVIL: there Is much go ID. tco and
one of the good things Is that more and
n Hat har iG
such a thing as rial. Chr stlan fellow
ship among men of different crecds. and
that the real field for rivalry among and
between the creeds comes In the rivalry of
the end ,avor to which can rand II best
service to mankind. which can do the work
OF the Lord best By doing II work for the
people best.
Il thank you for having given M, the
chance to say this word OF greeting today"
