FAv0RS The
GRAVITY Plan

Councilman Rankin is also OPP
posed to the squandering of money
on the Maplewood springs water
system for temporary use.
II believe we should go right
after the gravity system. There
is always something wrong with
our present well system-either
the pumps are out of fix, the
current is off, the reservoirs are
not in commission. think we
can risk 1t another year, and If
we go right after the gravity sys-
tenn, put the bonds right up to
the bond buyers and go to work
that is the thing to do"
There is still over 100000
from the recent warrant sale
asailable for increasing the water
supply, and it is believed this can
be used to secure the site and
start work on the gravity system.
With this to begin with, the city
will be in shape to go ahead with
the gravity system, and, according
to Engineer Whitney, 1t can be
brought in by year from next
summer.

UNSAFE TO GALL
MAN A POLITICIAN,
PASTOR DECLARES
The Rev. John. Mcdowell De-
plores Conditions That
Provoke Rebuke.

rs it Sinful to Seek the Kingdoms
of This World" was the subject of the
Rev. John McDowell's sermon in Park
Presbyterian Church last night. Mr..
Mcdowell spoke in part as follows:
Certainly it was not sinful for Christ
to win the kingdoms of this world, for
He came expressly for hat purpose.
That was His mission and His business
here on earth. To make all these, the
Kingdoms of God was the mi There
is no sin then in wanting the Kingdoms
of this world. As the children of God,
men are kingdom conquerors, or king
dom makers by the very necessity of
their nature. Not to want to conquer
the Kingdoms of this world is sure
proof that men are still in the state of
savagery. The civilized man is ever at
work trying to conquer the kingdom
of knowledge, the kingdom of power,
the kingdom of beauty, the kingdom of
order, the kingdom of nature in all
its varied life. In proportion as man
succeeds civilization progresses.
THE sin in this temptation, which
was presented to our Lord, and is
daily presented to every man with red
blood flowing through his arteries, was
not, you will observe, in seeking to win
the kingdoms Of this world. 1t was in
trying to win them in a wrong way
and for q wrong purpose.
1.-THE two greatest enemies of our
government today are: First, the So
called good men, who refuse to AXE a
personal interest in the affairs of gov
eminent. politics, IL you please, for this
is just what ,rear politics are. Such
men are in reality civic ~defaulters.
The Greeks called all such men by q
most severe term. namely, idiots The
original idiot, according to the Greek,
was the man Of small mind who lived
for his own private advantage.
THE second great enemy of the ma
ton today is the man who is willing
to bow down and worship the devil foI
a position. 1t is not wrong to seek
these high honors of government, il
one seeks them in an honorable way
and for an honorable purpose, hut Woe
be unto the man who buys and bribes
his way into them. BY virtue of the
fact that men have bought and bribec
their way into these high offices, the
term politician has been degraded.
ut is moi considered safe in theS,
days to speak of a man as a politician
This noble term is unfortunately asso
ciated today with mel who are withou'
'principle. This ought not Ia be so
The real disgrace ought to be on tn,
man who is not a thoroush-going poll
tician-a man deeply and personally in,
tcrested il all the affairs Of his city

SKEPT|C|SM AND

OF LOCAL PASTOR
The Rev. F. G. Mooney Delivers
Interesting Sermon at
Union M. E. Church.
DANGERS OF CYNICISM
ARE ENTERED INTO
Large Audience Hears Scholarly
Address Based on
Mark VII, &.

The Perils of Doubt and Skepticism''
was the topic of a sermon by the Rev.
f. c. Mooney at the Union Street NJ.
Il, Church yesterday. His text was:
Mark vi, ., And Jesus marveled be-
cause of their unbelief." He said in
part:
1.-The Master OF men was in the syna-
gogue teaching on the Sabbath day to
his own oo~untrynen. The truths which
He was enunciating cut square across
their ~preconceiyed notions of a tenn
poral Kingdom. When a man, by force
of genius, transcends the humble sphere
IN which he was born, and rises above
the companions of his youth, you will
find, not unfrequently, that they who
should be the first are the last TO
acknowledge his merit. So strong was
this prejudice against Christ that it
interfered with His public ministry, for
We read that He did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief.'
And again we have the strong and very
remarkable statement that He could
there do no mighty work. Jesus mar
Veled because Of the unbelief of the
NaHarenes, and we are inclined to mar
vel. too, at the way in which His words
and works We're regarded by His coun-
trymen of old; yet. in not a few re
spects. are we today more favorsbly
situated than those Nazarenes. We are
free from the prejudices which dark
ened their minds. We have a vast fund
of evidence which then did not exist,
and for Il man in this age to refuse 90
believe or to be skeptlcaI regarding the
F,ta. -. - 80 o. L ~ HI "a -
Bible is at once irrational, inconsistent
and criminal.
I'VE can conceive of but two ex-
tremes which can exclude the operation
of faith. A state of unlimited and per
feet knowledge, which can be at
tributed to God alone, and a state of
absolute uncertainty and doubt, which,
being equivalent to intellectual death,
we a attribute to no intelligence
whatever. 1t Is moreover inconsistent
to remain a skeptic. A moments re-
Fiction will convince you how much
more frequently you act on p%robabili-
ties and those, sometimes Of a very low
order, than on .certainties. A man who
does not believe, either has not or he
has, examined into the evidences on
which the truth Of God rests. If he has
not examined then he has no right to
speak, for he Is guilty of wilful neglect
and indifference. Till the evidences of
the Bible ave undergone a thorough
investigation a man has no right u
disbelieve, for to deny the truth of any
thing with which you are but partially
acquainted or not acquainted at all,
is absurd and dishonest. II the skeptic
has the evidences and vet re-
mains an unbeliever, then, unless lie
can show good and sufficient grounds
for his rejection of the evidence, we
must view his disbelief as the result of
some mental inaptitude for the appre-
citation of evidence of perceiving it's re-
lation, or the result of a wilful pursuit
of a wrong course in spite of all evil
dence."
