Virtues Of Newspapers.

The American newspaper has been the
worthy subject of eulogy by ar enlightened
solicitor for advertising. He says. in effect,
that the New York newspaper has enor-
mously improved. and that what has been
called sensationaliSm has almost .,sap-
peared. Not to dwell upon any topic that
may excite unpleasant or regretful contem-
plation. 1t may be well to say that all news
have long been conscious that the New
York newspapers have long been rising to
the intellectual and spiritual heights which
many provincial newspapers. and news
papers of other cities, have long been con-
scious of occupying. As a matter of fact,

Lone Woman's Right to Dine.

From the New York World.
The right of the unescorted woman to
service at the tables of public restaurant
is still living issue somewhere in New
York. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch is to
bring 1t to test in the courts by means of
a. suit brought not for damages but for
justification.
1t was in broad daylight and at one of the
clty's large hotels that dinner was denied
to the complainant and woman friend
We make this rule. explained the man
In charge, for the protection of just such
ladies as you. We do it to keep out objec-
tionable women" Whereby an opening was
left for Mrs. Blatch's reply that she had
never been bothered by Objectionable wom-
en-. but only by objectionable men. She
supposed that no effort was made to keep
out these latter.
Logic and the retort score heavily against
the hotel man. His own explanation is an
accusation. For of what service is a rule

tive benefciaries? And what becomes of the

she may easily do. by the simple process

Taken at his own word. the hotel man

edge? And why should not the rule of es-
cort work both ways. so that men comm g

Abstract OF Sermon Preached at the
Church Of Our Father, Universalst 18th

For with God all things are possible"
Those who attend these services know
that dislike to preach doctrine" 1 pre-
fer to assume the fundamentals of our
faith and devote my energies to building up
the Christian life
Not long ago, however, an officer of this
church handed me clipping from The Sun

by one who signs himself The Parson."

make his words the basis Of our sermon

Notice first how calmly he says that there

confidence and courage.
In this new day and with the new race of
men. 1t Is the reserve and modesty of
preachers like The Parson'' that convince
and help.
In the second place, let us notice that with
reserve there is also the note of confid ,nce,

ticed that Of late years the emphasis in re-
Hsious affairs has been laid upon the mas

which has wrought notable results in
identifying first-class business men with
active religious work. Nobody could ever
accuse this st. Andrews Brotherhood crowd
with being weaklings or sentimentalists.

Older. but less aggressive. although wide
ly pervasive. is the Brotherhood Of Andrew
and Philip, which began in the Reformed
Church in the United States and quickly
spread to other denominations. Last year
the Presbyterian Church, which has con-
spicuous array of public men in her men,
bershp. held a great mems convention in
Indianapolis and formally launched the
Presbyterian Brotherhood, William J.
Bryan being one Of the promoters and
speakers. The Southern Presbyterian
Church followed suit, and it is to hold its
first laymen's convention this fall. The
Methodists are now pushing the brother
that the most marked present-day develop
ment of Christianity is among the laymen.
The visible connecting link between these
UNCONVENTIONAL mems organizations and the
present laymen's missionary movement is
to be found In the United Presbyterian
Church. This body more than year ago
held business mems convention in litts>
burg, which attracted attention in church
circles everywhere, because Of its enthu-
siasm for missions, and for its determine
ton to put the church's missionary work
on a business basis. The prime figure In
this meeting was ]. Campbell White. a

CHURCHES NEEDED
FOR THE FOREIGNERS

Churchmen OF various denominations are
reported to be coming to a realiza ton of
the need in this city Of edifices or chapeIs
where the spiritual needs of those who
speak foreign tongue may be effectively
satisfied. 1t Is declared by those who have
interested themselves in the work that
foreigners are especially backward when IL
comes to entering an American house Of
prayer. An unfamiliarity with the English
language and customs which obtain in the
churches in this country has brought about
| great timidity. and rather than feel SO
thoroughly out Of place. 1t is declared for
eigners are inclined to remain at home.
That this condition obtains is through
no fault OF any particular denomination"
said prominent clergyman last week. In
spite OF our repeated efforts to make the
foreign brother feel at home. he. with some
exceptions, OF course, persists in acting as
If he Is not wanted. or affecting to feel SO,
anyway. Gradually he drifts away from a
semblance even OF church connection
and ultimately drifts into channels which
flow to socialistc and selfish ends. . Re-
suit, the Black Hand and the other vicious
organizations with which the age is in
tested. We must help our people on their
feet religiously. That much attained, their
education in good government will be the
more easily accomplished.
zone Of the most effective means that
1 can suggest Is for the churches of Wash
ington to set up chapels for the various
natlOnaNtleS that fourlSh mere. There are
large colonies OF nearly all the races here
now, and 1t behoOves us to give them some
special heed. The mission churches that
suggest need not be-large structures nor
marked by any striking architectural en-
beishments, but we should have places
where these foreign peoples can go and
call It home. To them 1t would be both
a meeting house and church. Surrounded
by none but their own people. their timidity
would be quickly swept aside, and through
proper guidance in their own churches they
would be the more quickly brought to APP
preciate the benefits of citizenship in this
country.
This experiment has been tried success
fully in the north and east and also in the
west. and results have proved that the
foreigners only needed a start to inculcate
in them a desire for independence in their
church organizations / have in mind at
this moment an unpretentious church struc-
ture which was erected some years ago by
the Catholics of New Bedford, Mass. In the
interest Of the large Portuguese population
OF that city. 1t was impossible to get these
people to attend the English-speaking
churches Of that city, so a mission was set
up in the center of the city for their special
benefit. The result was highly gratifying
from the very inception OF the movement.
They were all poor people then, but
understand the congregation is now erect
ing a church to cost $780, 000 and every
dollar Of the fund has been subscribed by
the Portuguese themselves"

The Saving Element in Human Life. !

The Saving Element in Human Life.
OF all the fine things that have been said
in the papers of two continents with regard
to Ian Maclaren'' CDR. John Watson),
whose sudden death in America not long
ago has been so widely mourned, none is
finer more just than this tribute from
one who knew him intimately. DR.. Robert
son Nicoll, the editor of the British Weekly:
Life presented itself to him as one long
opportunity of being kind" 1t was some
thing. certainly, to have written The Bon
ME Brier Bush stories, whose humor
amused and whose pathos touched multi
tudes of readers on both sides of the At
lantic. 1t was something indeed, to have
occupied with honor and dignity Of the
most commanding pulpits in Great Britain
for many years. 1t was much to have won
his place as a pre-eminent thinker and lit
erary worker of his generation. But some
how the thing that fingers most in our ret
respect of the man is fact that he was
SO extraordinarily kind. The manager of
his lecture tours in America told a friend of
mine that in all his close contact with dis
tinguished men he had never had dealings
with one who impressed him as being so
considerable of other men as was Dr.
Watson.
1 do not know. absolutely, what quality
of character will best stand by us at the
judgment day, but / am inclined to believe
that the man who has possessed and prac-
ticed kindness of spirit during his earthly
years will be deemed as fit as any one else

pie showed us no little kindness. for they
kindled a fire and receiv-I us every one
because Of the rain and the cold" Prob
ably these famous Christians were bit
surprised to find much kindness In an
out-of-th e-way island, where the gospel
had never been heard. All, the spirit OF
God is often in places and among peoples
where we least expect to find 1t, and we
ought to be keen and broad enough to DIS
Germ 1t by that fruit of the spirit which Is
called kindness.
AS l began with reference to Ian Mac
laren, I will close with a motto which he
once gave to a person who asked him for
motto for the new year: BE pitiful to the
man next you, for he also Is fighting hard
battle

ness to make him struggle for himself;
there has come family consciousness to
make him care for wife or children or
father or mother or brother or sister.
Not only do we see family consciousness
evolving. but community consciousness
race consciousness. national consciousness
and world consciousness.
In larger and larger numbers men are
thinking not of themselves alone, but of
the family in which they were born. or Of
the community where they live. or Of the
country to which they owe allegiance or OF
the world of which that country is part.
No man can study history and fail to sea
progress. 1t Is as IL something with Wis

moves the world to hold us and 1t in the
hollow of Its mighty hand.

How can he when the man to be happy In

Will the bad man then go to hell? 1t
is not for me or you to pronounce the doom
OF any individual.
But God must some time be all in all
and the kingdom OF evil vanish before the
kingdom OF peace and good will"
None of US in this church hold that
bad man goes to heaven. So far as we
know we say punishment here and hereaf-
ter is absolutely sure for sin. There Is no
escape. No one can buy or be bought
Upon every soul is the responsibility cor Its
acts. But punishment on this earth - be
rational must have a purpose. That pur-
pose is to reform. And punishment in any
other world can have no lower purpose
than this. 1t is not to vind.cate the out

a vicious will to obey. Such punishment Is
based alike on Justice and love. Such punish
ment can not fail of its purpose. Through
cut eternity no soul can resist the love ana
power Of God. With the carson all the
churches are coming to declare: God must
some time be all and in all"
No longer do We attempt to prove, now
ever. that sometime or somewhere all Will
be saved. The energy Of the church to-
day Is directed to other ends.
