There are other business men who de-
vote all their time to their earthly af-
tairs and insure their buildings against

their prospective residence above2 Are
they insuring their souls with God by
saving souls down here?'

Maj. Brown Delivers Interesting
Sermon at Mount St. Alban.
Asserts Humanity should Think
More of the Present Than
OF the Future.

Maj. Henry A. Brown. chaplain at Fort
Myer. conducted open-air services at
Mount St Alban. in the Cathedral Close,
yesterday afternoon.
In addition, TO the large congregation on
the lawns. there were many carriage and
automobile parties on the grounds
Preceding Chaplain Browns sermon, the
vested choir OF the Cathedral sang sew
eral professional hymns.
Chaplain Brown said that we should
think more OF our present condition IN
stead Of worrying about the future.
He spoke, IN part as follows:
We talk too much about salvation as
a future condition and not enough about
it as a present state or possession.
I'VE shall give people more strength
and inspiration II we speak less about
rewards and punishments Of the future
world. and more about the help and
strength we find now in the Christian
faith. People will always take chances
on the future, but If we have anything
that appeals TO them that makes US
stronger and better and gives promise Of
doing the same for them. they viii listen
70 US This is eOnfessing or showing
forth unto salvation.
1T is OF but little use TO preach about
duty. except 20 children and Christians
We cannot incite another 20 duty by
preaching about H. The average man
knows what Is right and wrong, and when
we twit him OF his duty. We get out Of
touch with him: IL irritates him. and we
put barrier between our influence and
him every time we mention g.
What he needs is 70 have his love
aroused by the kindly love Of some one
whom he feels is his friend: he needs his
affections warmed by our affections: his
hopes strengthened By our hopes: his
buried ideals reproduced: his self-respect
restored Remind him OF his duty. The
demands OF duty can never do this. but
Christianity can do IL II Il Is brought
home 70 his heart. II We are members OF
the church. certainly We have some rea-
son for the choice and this is exactly
what some one who trusts you needs
Simply tell him your faith and what Il IS
and means 70 you. This is confessing
Christ"
At the conclusion OF the sermon the
choir, led by a section OF the United
States Marine Band, sang a recessfonal
hymn. after which a reception was held
