NO HERO-W0RsH|P
IN THIS COUNTRY.
SAYS DR. v|LLERS
Peddie Memorial Church Pastor
Conducts Patriotic
Services.

At the Peddic Memorial Church last
night a large congregation gathered to
attend a patriotic service. The work
done by the choir, under the direction
of Louis Arthur Russell, and assisted
by Miss Edith Leaore Davies, contralto,
and Oscar Braun, was highly commend
ed by the audience.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas J. Villers spoke
on the topic, Has Washington's Type
of Patriotism Passed from American
Life?" He said:
I'VE are in little danger of hero
worship. Some of use have no sym
pathy with the writer's who are trying
TO shatter our ideals by trying to hui
MAMIE our heroes. Their task is need
less. None suppose that Lincoln or
Washington was superhuman. We are
perfectly aware that they were men Of
like passions with ourselves. The critics
could be engaged in bigger and better
business than dragging to the light the
petty faults of our great leaders.
"Washington's patriotism was a wise
patriotism. This was shown by the
threefold fact that he exercised a sleep
less vigilance; he trusted the common
people, and he quickened the civic con-
science.
Each of these points was illustrated
and enforced by incidents from Wash
ington's life. and from lives of men IN
our own day, a striking parallel being
drawn between William Duerr, a con-
from New York, who aided
Washington in his fight against the
Conway cabal, and Otto G. Foelker,
who assisted Governor Hughes in the
overthrow of the gambling ring in the
Empire State. DIR. villers affirmed that
Washington's type of patriotism has
not passed from American life. and
urged the people there under our BAN
nered stars to pledge their lives and
their sacred honor to the welfare of
our city, u commonwealth and our
country.

BREACHES STRONG
SERMON ON THE
EVILS OF LYING
The Rev. w. 7. S. Lumbar Calls
Popular" Habit One of Our
Besetting Sins.

rs Lying Popular-or Right" was
the topic of a sermon delivered by the
Rev. W. T. S. Lumbar in the Mt.
Pleasant Baptist Church last night.
He said:
What is a f~alsehood? One of the
most distinguished preachers of our
land has said it is an attempt to de-
ceive for selfish or malicious purposes.
Thatquestion is often asked: Is il eyer
right to tell a lie, even TO save a life ?
Can a lie be old without dishonor?
If not, honor is more than life. no
matter whose it may be. AS to lying
being popular, there can be little doubt
of that. In some form, along one line
or another, it is one of our besetting
sins.
MANY say you cannot be honest and
be a politician. You cannot and be a
lying politician. 1t used to be CON
sidered essential for a man to e il he
was to be a successful diplomatist.
The ablest diplomat we ever had, ana
the most successful, was a man vino
SoSticu al ne eFSii loT pOllLlcdl puf-
poses. Our greatest men in the politi-
cal world are our most truthful men.
Others say o n no succeed in
business nj tell the truth. That there
is much falsehood in business no one
denies. Were it not for the fact that
there is a larger number who are
truthful and whose word is as good as
their bond, business would not hold to-
gether for a month. Honesty pays.
in business, in the long run.
In the social world we find another
class of truthless people. Surely in the
social realm one might expect to find
truth. You glance out of the window
and see a woman coming whom you do
not careSto meet. You tell the maid
TO say you are not at home. If you
have no maid you tell one of the chill
dren. and thus you have started a
young life on the road to deception. |
can see no excuse for such a false
hood.
I'm all ages liars have been detested
in theory, but too often tolerated in
practise. The words of the Psalmist
should be our motto: Let the words
of my mouth and the meditations of
my heart be Acceptable in Thy sight,
o Lord, my strength and my re-
deemer.'

SOME DISEASES
ARE BEYOND ALL
AID, SAYS PASTOR
Rev. Henry r. Rose Discusses
Phases Of Emmanuel
Movement.

The Rev. Henry r. Rose, of the
Church of the Redeemer. preached
yesterday morning on "The Triunphs
of the Emmanuel Movement" The
church was filled. His text was John
xiv, IL: "He that believeth on me, the
works that l do shall he do also, and
greater works thar these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father" Mr..
Rose said in part:
One of the greatest triunphs of the
Emmanuel Movement is the check it
is putting upon extremism in regard
to both thought and practise in con-
nection with religious and mental heal
ing. Extremism Is dangerous, and for
a time 1t looked as if our nation would
be swept from it's feet by the rising
and rushing. tide of Christian Science.
But the peril is past. It has been
averted by the coming of the EN-
manuel Movement, which offers sensi-
BILE people a middle-ground.
T those who reason that BECAUSE
some diseases are mentally produced.
all diseases are mentally produced. the
mmanue movement replies: That Is
as illogical as to say that because
some men are white all men are white.
Do you know that some men are black
and some brown and some red? Some
diseases are caused by germs, some by
poisons, some by injuries; not all by
mind.
ITO those who fallaciously argue
that because some diseases are mental
ly cured all diseases can be mentally
cured, the Emmanuel Movement re-
plies by showing that in a case like DR..
Bull, mind was not able to overcome
corruption, for If any man of modern
ever used mental, religious and
every other type of suggestion it was
DIR. Bull, and. in addition, he had the
best aid of medicine and surgery. But
that type of ice does not yield &c
any remedies known to mental, re-
and scientific practitioners"

L|FE'S STRUGGLE
AND THE CHURCKS
RELATION TO II

AT the Clinton Avenue Presbyterian
Church last night the pastor, the Rev.
Joseph F. Folsom, preached on THE
Eating M Drinking Problem The
theme was taken from Mathew. 1923,
where it is recorded that Jesus advised
men to seek not what we shall eat
nor what We shall drink" The speaker
said in part:
Amy man who says there is no
butter problem Is ignorant
of actual conditions, and any man who
is Indifferent to the roubles of those
who are wrestling with the problem is
not a true Christian. The church or
Christianity is Interested in the
economic welfare Of men, but it has a
still higher mission. 1t should comfort
with hope and encouragement the men
and women who are struggling with
the bread and butter problem. 1t
should stand beside them and cheer
them or to their labors by holding be-
fore their eyes glimpses of hope, light
and beauty, for men cannot live by
bread alone.
The church will fulfill its obligation
to the present age if it can inspire
their minds from a too absorbed in
tere' in what is only material. Other
agencies may emphasize the making of
economic reforms, but the mission OF
the church is to lay the emphasis upon
helping the men and women who are
engaged in the work

DR.. VANCE HAS
NOT BEEN CALLED
TO MANHATTAN

There is absolutely no significancs
in my occupying the pulpit Of st.
Nicholas Collegiate Reformed Church,
in New York. yesterday; I merely went
over TO fill the pulpit for q day. I have
received no call from the New York
church and do not anticipate any.
The above statement by the Rev. DR.
James /. Vance sets al rest doubts
which may have arisen among his con-
%gregation yesterday that another effort
would be made 70 capture their pastor.
DR.. Vanoe's pulpit was filed yesterday
by the Rev. DR.. Thomas c. Hall, of the
Union Theological Seminary. The New
ark pastor oficiated at both services in
the New York church.
The late DR.. Donald Sage Mackay
went from the pulpit of the North Re-
formed Church to st. Nicholas Col
legiate Church. in New York. Since Or.
Mackay's death the pulpit OF the New
York church has been vacant.

ALTRU|SM TRUE
OBJECT IN LIFE,
PASTOR DECLARES
Things We Do for Ourselves Do
Not Count, the Rev. Hutchi-
son Says.

Ia The Rev. Stuart Nye Hutchinson in
First Reformed Church took as his text
last night Cease to do evil; learn to do
we'll" Isaiah l., II. He said in part:
mo picture was ever complete with
out two sides, a background and a fore
ground. No view was ever perfect
without its blending of light and of
without two sides. the negative and the
positive sides. These two sides are very
simply expressed in the command of the
text, Cease to do evil; learn to do WE'LL
Sometimes we see a man who leads
a pure and upright moral life, who
keeps himself %unspotted from great
sins, but he is a purely selfish man.
While he does not do any great evil act,
lie never does any particularly good
act. Now, this is merely negative good
ness. 1t is. the picture without the fore
ground.
And then again we see sometimes
the man who does good deeds. He is
kind to the poor. His generosity M
philanthropy are the ak of the com
munity, but while he Is doing good he
has never ceased to do evil. He is the
picture without the background. Now
it is a Psychological fact that no man
can cease to do evil without learning to
do well. A bad habit cannot be driven
permanently out of a life till some good
habit has come into the life to take its
place. If you wish to rid yourself of
the pernicious influence of a bad com
partnership there is only one way to do
it and that is to enter a pure and up
lifting companionship in it's place. The
spiritual world as we'll as the natural
abhors a vacuum
