REV. DAY SPEAKS ON THREE
WAYS OF GIVING OUT HELP

The pastor of the First Congregation
al church, Rev. William Horace Day,
preached yesterday morning on the
text, "Give Ye Them to Eat" taken
from the account of the feeding of the
five thousand hungry men, Mark 6.
After speaking of our duty to help the
hungry because were are Christians
he said:
There are three ways of helping
the hungry. The first is indiscriminate.
The man who fell among thieves on
the road from Jerusalem to Jericho
might have received from the Samari-
tan something to eat and drink. The
Samaritan went to him and did much
more than that. He gave him no
money at all, but gave him what he
really needed, carried him to the inn,
nursed him and then paid some one
else to do what he needed more. That
was the second type of charity and
was the highest possible at the time.
The third type to which we are striv-
ing is possible in the civilization
which has grown on the foundation
Jesus laid. The third type would have
been to have the Jericho road policed
SO that no other poor fellow should
fall among thieves In the same place.
There is a wrong way and right way
of doing good. If we try to help the
hungry In the first way--that of the
childhood of charity--we shall wrong
Others"

PRAISES WORK OF
The GENTLE POET
ANNIVERSARY OF WHITTIER'S
BIRTH OBSERVED
New Englanders Gather to Listen to
Address in Honor of the
Prophet of New
America

Whittier, Poet, Prophet of New
America was the subject of the ad-
dress given by Rev. C. Elwood Nash
D. D., pastor of the Universalist
church, yesterday afternoon at Cum
mock hall.
Exercises in recognition of the one
hundredth anniversary Oh the birth of
the poet Whittier were held. The Mas
sachusettes and New England socie-
ties were we'll represented in the au-
dience.
A quartet consisting of Mrs. Marga-
ret Bryson, Miss Edith Nash, Prof. j.
B. Poulin and Herbert c. Stockwell rem
dered selections and led in hymns, all
the words being taken from the poet
compositions. An original quartet COM
posed by DR.. Nash was among the
numbers.
The address was illustrated by the
reading of several poems, among them
Barbara Frietchie,' Massachusetts
to Virginia" Sea Dreams and My
Psalm
In the course of his able address Dr.
Nash said
Whittier was not the mere mystic
he is sometimes deemed, but a very
live, full blooded man. alert to pro-
mote the practical as we'll as picture
the ideal.
"His life was a marvellous victory
over early poverty, meager education,
Ill health, thwarted ambition and the
odium of an unpopular cause.
Capable Politician
HE was a particularly capable poll
tician, successful lobbyist, thoroughly
we'll posted in the details of political
and party management, and only pre-
vented by Ill health. perhaps, from
selecting the career of a publicist, for
which he was well fitted.
His bachelorhood was due, not to
choice, but to disappointed affection
and to Difference to the religious claims
OF his mother.
His poetry sounds a wide range of
subject and sentiment, ranging from
the narrative and legendary in which
he enshrined many precious bit of
folk lore of his neighborhood, to the
utterance of the purest and most per-
feet trust as a religious devotee. The
motive of much of his poetry is con-
fessedly moral, but occasionally at
tains the quality of pure litera ture.
His work in the anti-slavery move
ment was hardly less notable than that
Of Garrison and Phillips, both along
practical lines and by means of the
message and appeal of his verse. Per-
haps no other poet has ever shown
such contrast of the competent man of
affairs and the seer whose muse is
ever ready to lift him for sublimest
flight.
His pre-eminent and final claim.
however. is established by his reli-
gious poetry, which affords the finest
and fullest expression ever accom-
plished of faith based upon a sense of
the goodness of God and the conse-
quent necessity of triumph for truth
and love.
while not avowedly Universalist,
his assurance of the protecting Provi-
dence over every man is so complete
that the conclusion of a perfect and
ll-comprehending happiness and hol-
ness at last is irresistible"

LIFE OF DIVINE SHEPHERD

Leader

Robert ]. Burdette of the Temple
Baptist church preached on the topic
of church unity, at the suggestion Oh
the church federation, taking for his
text John 10: 10: There Shall Be One
Flock. One Shepherd
In some of our reading moods the
Old Testament reads like a story of the
shepherds, spread out over the pages
of Palestine Their lives are inter-
woven with the great chronicle of God
and man. We see Abel, the first shep-
herd, yielding his life to the first tri-
umph of satan outside of peacetul
Eden. The cry of his blood, calling
from the sodden ground for vengeance
at the hands of eternal justice Is
echoed by the prayer to the same God
for mercy, from the lips of the Good
Shepherd. giving his life on the cross
for his sheep.
1--WE see Joseph, the dreamer, going
down to Dothan where his brethren
kept their fathers flocks, never again
to return to his fathers house, but to
battle hate with love. We see Israel
and his sons journeying into Egypt,
and hear their brother, the prince OF
the land, warning them, Every shep-
herd is an abomination unto the ESyp-
tians' AS even unto this day the peo-
pie of God are abomination to Egypt,
dwelling apart from the world.
I'VE followed Moses and the prince
of Egypt into the hill pastures, where
he tended the flock of the priest of
indian, and communed with God who
was training him to shepherd the great
multitudes of Israel.
1--WE hear the shepherd lad of Beth
lehem chanting the hymns of glory
that have become pages of the ritual
of all worship,
Hear Angels Songs
1--WE hear the songs of the angels
thrilling the shepherds on those same
plains of Bethlehem as the Lamb of
God We hear the Christ declaring
himself the Good Shepherd and say
ing to his disciples, Fear not, little
flock And then. seeing the world
growth and expansion of that little
band of faith. we hear him again:
other sheep l have, which are not of
this fold; them also must bring, and
they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one flock, one shepherd
"Other histories tell of kings and
captains and wars and riches. This
book tells of shepherds and peaceful
nocks, from the days of Abel until. on
