SUNDAY TAL.kSON
THANKSGIVING
EVANGELIST ApAPTs REGULAR
SERMON TO THE DAY
SPEAKS OF WEALTH.
PRAISES FOREFATHERs
The Force Of Christianity and rs
Part in the World is Emphasized
in Strong Dis
course.

Giving the founders OF the nation,
the Pilgrim fathers, Washington, A1-
ans, Jefferson and the other states
men OF their time credit for the strong
character of the United States of TODAY
and citing the vast wealth and posi-.
pllltles OF the country and her suprem-
acy both In war and industrially as
things that the American citizens
should be proud of, Rev. w. A. Sun
day delivered a strong Thanksgiving
sermon at the tabernacle this morning
to large audience.
The evangelist went into detail
speaking of the wealth Of the country.
referring to the wonderful products VI
the soil, the mills, mines, minerals,
forests and fields, asserting that the
nation was able to feed and support
ten times the population it now con
tanned.
But it's not the wealth that makes
the country great the evangelist
said Its the great Christian char.
acter that the nation possesses that
makes her supreme. We have a great
character here because the men who
found the nation and It's constitution
were men of God. We have to thank
the Pilgrim Fathers, Washington JEFF
ferson and Adams and the other men
OF their day for the condition of the
United States today. It's not the ma
terial wealth that counts. The riches
OF God make the wealth of the United
States look like a plugged counterfeit
cent. Too many people today are apt
to be forgetful Of God and blow too
much about their material wealth.
Christianity Great Power.
Take away Christianity from the
United States and there would be moth
ing of value left. II is Jesus Christ
that makes country powerful. The
country as a whole is great because
the men who made the nation were
men Of faith The reason that so
many cities are rotten in this country
Is because the wrong party got their
first. If De Soto or Pizarros had
founded the United States, the coun-
try would never have risen to the
heights it occupies today. Yet there
are thousands here who are absolute
strangers to the blessings Of God
They are not filed with Joy and CRATE
fulness but are gloomy and morose
God never asks man to live life
that he can't. Don't tell God you
can't be Christian--tell him you
won't or you'll be telling a lie. You
lose sight of the real wealth of the ma
ton, the reason why the nation is
really great, in Your pursuit Of ma.
terial gain and pleasures"

mon was your iniquities have turned
away these things and your sins have
withholden good things from you -

A JUDGE ON THE COURTS.
yudge Mckenzie Cleland told a

p yudge Mckenzie Cleland told al
audience at woman's club meeting
in Chicago that the law and the Grim
inal courts are thousand years be
I hind the times The trouble with the
laws he held to be that they were
made by lawyers, and the criminal
courts were wrong because they in.
INSISTED on sending men to the peni.
EStentiary and not keeping them there.
Judge Cleland said there is no more
s3useless, no more foolish and no more
sextravagant thing than turning man
out of the penitentiary. He explain
ed his position by saying:
THE kodak, the camera the tele-
Aphone and, the railroad have brought
1.-THE corners of the earth SO close to
each other that the eX-convict is
liable to come face to face with some
one who knows him and will expose
Ahim at any moment.
'He is doomed to join the unem-
'ployed, and live the miserable life of
an ex-convict. Even his fellow work;
men will suspect him. -
Y. Common sense suggests to us that
j man or woman should not be sent
10 the penitentiary unless there is
I, the best of ground; that such a
course is necessary in order to pro.
Meet society, and then he should re-
main in prison.
Stating his other objection to the
Illegal system he said:
The trouble lies in the fact that
1--WE let the lawyers make our laws.
Shhe lawyers are good fellows, but
Syhen it comes to making laws they
Iare hardly progressive enough You
twill find them reading in books writ
ten hundreds Of years ago, of de-
STisions by judges who could not tell
IA wheelbarrow from a balloon OF a
Sewing machine from an automobile"
1t would be interesting to know
Just what reforms Judge Cleland
would suggest. To the ordinary mind
the fact that the lawyers make the
laws. gives an added strength to these
laws. Most people believe that; the
lawyer is better fitted to write the
laws than the butcher, the baker or
lthe blacksmith. The fact, too, that
the criminal courts occasionally send
Ia man to the penitentiary is thing
that adds to the sense of security in
these courts. A great many instances
where mob violence appears is direct
1y traceable to the failure OF the
criminal courts to deal as harshly
with crime as the occasion demands.
The world has not arrived at that
point where it can dispense with its
