AEROPLANE OBSERVED SUNDAY
Visitors to College park Failed TO
See Machine Fly.

Although the Wright aeroplane curled
up its wings yesterday and rested snugly
in the aerodrome at College Park, visi-
tors to the aviation field were not lack
ing, and apparently most Of them were
content with a view OF the machine
through an opaque window glass in the
door
Wilbur Wright's well-known scruples
about ascending into the empyrean on
Sunday prevented even the hope Of =
flight There was large throng OF

no Figure I'm Church.
The church and the Industrial prob
lem" was the text Of a sermon yester-
day morning by Rev DIT. Samuel H.
Woodrow at the First congregational
Church. He denied the charge that the
church is attended and supported by the
moneyed class alone to the exclusion Of
the poor. He said:
Honesty. temperance. and devotion to
duty cannot be produced or developed by
a new industrial system. No improve
ment in material conditions Is going 20
transform sinners into saints. A bad
man is seldom made better. and is often
made worse. by shortening his hours OF
labor and increasing his pay. II merely
gives him more time and money for the
qualification OF sensual appetites and
passions.
There IS nothing divine about the
present industrial order any more than
there was about ancient slavery and
medieval serfdom. The present indus
trial system was not brought about by
popular vote. II Is the result OF a hun
dred causes all working separately, but
converging toward one great end.
There are three great truths which
we as a nation, must learn; To produce
abundantly. 20 distribute justly, and 10
consume nationally. We have learned 70
do the first. but we have hardly taken
the first step in the just distribution Of
the wealth OF farms and forests.
we must correct not only the ct ed
and pride Of the overpaid rich but we
must also correct the covetousness and
materlallsm Of the underpaid. No CO.

firmly established until a large majority
Of the citizens have a high sense Of

DIR. ELIOTS NEW RELIGION

Req. Reid Shannon Asserts
that Harpdrd'S President
Emeritus Is in Harmony
With ChriSfS Teachings.

"All creeds and theologies may pass
away and Christians be as untouched
and as unframed as are the stars when

away said Rev. Dr. John Reid shannon
last night I'm a sermon at the Metropoli-
tan Memorial NJ T. Church upon THE
old religion the Old creeds and theologies.
and Or. Ellots new Religion OF the
future"
DIR. shannon spoke OF creeds and the
ologcs as the schemes and devices Of
the human mind as Intellectual Ideas
concerning Christianity. He said.
, AS We discriminate between botany
and flowers. between geology and rocks.
between astronomy and stars, so we
must discriminate between theologies and
/ Christianity Creeds and theologies are
the eXternals. the clothing OF Christianity
II Is as natural that this clothing should
change as IL is that a growing boy
should lay aside his old clothes and put
on new clothes TO suit the developing
size and figure Of his body.
Thought Revolution.
"Theologically. we are to-day passing
| through tne greatest revolution OF
thought that the world has ever known.
/ People are coming TO larger and nobler
ideas OF God. OF the universe. OF man
and his destiny The world Is swinging
out OF the shadow into the sunlight OF
grander conceptions OF Gods government
/ Old creeds and theologies may pass away
! like soap bubbles in the afr and Christi
anity be as unframed as Is the sun when
new theories Of the sun come and old
theories go.
Christianity in its very nature IS
eternal It's whole aim is TO get man
right with God. to implant the life Of
God In mans soul Christianity is there
fore. as enduring as is the relationship
between man and God. There never can
be a new religion to supplant Christian
ity; and TO talk about such a religion
Is as though one should seek 10 add full
ness TO the sea. or splendor TO the sun,
or grandeur 90 the heavens. Christianity
is as sure as are the courses Of the stars
10 be the religion OF all coming time
Or. Shannon had with him IN the pulpit
the October Harvard Theological Review,
containing the full text of Dr. EliOts
address on The new religion of the fu-
ture. as given at the closing session of
the Harvard Summer School of TheoI-
ogy. He declared that the address had
been most grossly misrepresented; that
Or. Eliot had been held forth, in edi-
torials and in sermons, as denying the
facts OF heaven and he'll that man is
made in Gods image that there is any
Scriptural authority. He declared that
Dr. Enots new religion had been repre-
sented as unadulterated materialism, as
the agnosticism Of Prof Huxley. as the
monism OF Ernst HaeckeL To show how
false are such representations, Dr. Shan
non read the following from DR.. Eliots
address:
The religion OF the future will he In
harmony. in essential agreement win the
direct and personal teachings Of Jesus
Christ as they are recorded in the Cos
pels."
