With arrangements perfected for
such performances, Mr., Frohman
would bring his companies from New

the plays could be put on in the East

be used and lights employed so that

which could be used to represent any

RAIDER REPLIES TO
PASTOR WHO QUIT
Parting Shots of Rev. Calvert
E. SmOot Returned by MINI
ister of Calvary

Rev. Calvert E. Smoot former pas
tor of the Second Unitarian church,
who, in resigning from his charge last
Sunday, said that the church has lost
its spiritual leadership. was answered
in kind by the Rev. William A. RAIDER
yesterday morning.
II don't like a man vino resigns his
pastorate. presumably the ministry,
and who in leaving gives a parting
kick, not at the devil but at the
church." said he, referring to Smoot
IF the church is falling, as he says, it
must be because of ministers like the
man who last Sunday denounced it,"
DIR. RAIDER declared the church was
the promulgator of every praiseworthy
institution.
During the course of his sermon DR..
RAIDER referred to the local graft prose-
cution, making a plea for civic right
eousness.
There is spiritual wickedness in
high places here" said he. You who
come to church, you who have promised
to support the gospel and truth of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and who go your
way supinely satisfied if conventions
have not been disregarded, what are
you doing toward the great cause of
civic morality? l have not words of
condemnation strong enough for the
betrayers of their trust-the liars, the
robbers, the grafters-for all who are
insensible to their duty and honor as
men and Christians"

his theme Yesterday, Today and For

Christ is the same yesterday and today.

SO the whole field of human achieve

Visiting Minister Declares Law
of Love True Patriotism

"There is but one fulfilling of the
law, which is love- said Rev. Thorn
ton Anthony Mills, pastor of the Chris
tian Union church at Rockford, ILL.,, in
an address at Golden Gate hall last
evening on THE New Patriotism. 1t
is not that I love my country less, but
humanity more, that 1 plead the cause
of a higher and truer patriotism. Re
member that you are men by more
sacred bond than you are citizens. and
remember also that might never made
right.
Il look for the day when war shall
be unknown, for the nation that would
today disarm its soldiers and turn its
people to the paths of peace would ac-
complish more toward its upbuilding
than by all the war taxes ever wrung
from its burdened laborers.
I'VE do not need a navy for protec-
ton. When America had practically
no navy she was never invaded, but
Russia. with one of the largest navies
in the world, was attacked and con-
quered. Every throb of pride you feel
in your fleet is an invitation to war"
