SINS OF THE THINKING
8ACCALAUREATE SERMON AT
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

The graduating class of the Catholic
University of America heard the bacca-
laureate sermon preached by Rev. DR..
William B. Martin of the New York City
Cathedral in Divinity Chapel of Caldwell
Hall yesterday morning. Before the SER
mon pontif1cal mass was celebrated by
Ri. Rev. Bishop OConnell of the Catholic
University.
DR.. Martin. who spoke on the Intel
lectual Difficulties of the Times" said:
1.-The great difficulties which man meets
who lives among the people of modern
times are the sins Of the thinking
and OF the thinking people.
THE sin Of the non-thinking is a sin of
Indifference toward such momentous
questions as religion and morals. Men
such as these take religion. hold it in
their hands. turn it over and examine it.
amuse themselves with criticising 1t. and
write and speak as II it were of little i'm
portance whether they made up their
minds about God and about questions
pertaining to their destiny.
Ih1s sin l ascribe In large measure to
Indifference of scholars to their freedom
in criticising sacred things. They have
looked into the New Testament to find
God. and they have found Him. but have
forgotten that outside there is a God of
the world in which God must be sought
for just as we'll as the God they have
found in their book.
''The sin Of the thinking is the sin of
yielding lightly to a plausible objection.
saying that, provided man has facts.
the question follows the fact to the ex-
clusion Of any constituted authority.
They forget that a man. as Samuel john
son said. can grow great by electrifytng
bottle while the world is prattling
about peace and war"

GOSPEL FROM WAGON
REV. SAMUEL WOODROW AD-
DRESSES STREETS CROWDS.

With the gospel wagon of the Central
Union Mission for his pulbpi and follow
ing the plan of the mission board TO con-
duct religious street services every sun
day evening during the warmer months
of the summer in order to reach class
that avoid church-going. the Rev. Samuel
Woodrow. pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church. preached to several hum
dred people last evening at Seventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue. His theme was
"The Value of Visions
Mr.. Woodrow's Sermon.
Mr.. Woodrow said. in part:
II have addressed gatherings of college
students. who were obliged to listen. but
were at liberty. by custom, to express
themselves by shutting of feet when they
thought the sermon had gone long
enough, and I have addressed inmates of
several state prisons. who were obliged
to stay whether they wished to or not
but never before have l addressed such
an assemblage as this. where you may
come and go when you please. and none
will be disturbed.
I'VE are living today in very busy.
practical world. We are accustomed to
look with distrust upon dreamer and a
seer Of visions. Yet If we but look back
over history we see that nearly every
great leader or discoverer, or genius has
been such a man. Look at Alexander
Napoleon. Columbus. Fulton Watts, Edi-
son and a host of others. They have all
been dreamers with practical side
added.
Conquest of st. Paul.
1.-THE worlds greatest events have
turned on the life of some one individual.
The Apostle Paul was called in a vision
to preach in Macedonia. He obeyed at
once. and the real conqueror of Europe,
whose name will live when Rome's great
est have been forgotten, set out on the
journey. from which a movement spread
into Germany, SaXony, and the other
countries, the results of which we feel
today.
LAS they came to Paul. SO we need
three visions. We need first a vision Of
la personal Savior Then we need the
vision to tell the good news to our fell
low-men. Religion is good news. The
door of salvation is open to all men, high
or low.
Brother. may some vision come to you
out of this meeting. When it comes be
obedient to it, and a joy that the world
cannot give in life or i'll death will come
to you
AS is customary following these serv
ices. another meeting was held in the
Mission building.
