ADVISES ACCEPTANCE OF
GOOD, NO MATTER SOURCE
Minister Of Los Angeles Fellowship
Draws Instructive Lesson from
Life of Rousseau

"The Message of Rousseau" Is the
subject of the address given by Rey-
mold e. Blight, minister of the Los
Angeles Fellowship, at Blanchard nail
yesterday. He said in part;
az have been criticised for discuss
ing THE Religion of the Skeptics' and
condemned as one who would glority
doubt at the expense of faith. But
my critics are mistaken. Mere doubt
and negation never produced lasting
influence on mems minds. If mans
work has permanence it is because
in essence ii Is constructive, affirma-
tive; because at heart he is man of
faith.
ut has been objected that the writ
ings of such men as Voltaire and Rous-
seau should be avoided because the
authors were guilty of crimes against
morality. Then we would have to blot
from our Bibles the story of Abra-
hams triumphant faith, because he
was a liar. and the beautiful twenty
third psalm, because David was
murderer. Let us take the water of
life even it If Is given in broken and
unworthy vessel. Let us acknowledge
wisdom even in the mouth of fool.
Napoleon, Carlyle, Lecky, Tolstoi,
have paid tributes to the genius and
influence of Rousseau. He was the
SVdHSellSC Oh the FTeilCH ItNOiullOi'
- ,usseau's Emile revolutionized
education. The old education was
founded on the belief in the innate
depravity of children, and tried to
eradicate the old Adam. Rousseau
founded his educational theories on
the principle that all men are essen
TALLY good. He pleaded for return
to nature and condemned the arti-
ficiality and insincerity of society.
while his Social Contract has been
largely superseded by later knowledge,
it is worthy of study as a treatise
that set an age a-thinking and in
spired a people with democracy. 1t
was an epoch-making book, and its
fundamental principle, man is born
free and equal and by right should
have the rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness became the
watchword Of liberty on two CONT
nentS.
Rousseau was no atheist. While re-
jecting the dogmas and metaphysics
of the church. he was devout be-
lever in an all-pervading intelligence
and love, an admirer of the work and
words. of Jesus, and a teacher of high
morality. This belief gave him a pas
sion for humanity"

SAYS MAN Is SUCCESSFUL
MAKING BREAD OF STONES
Rev. w. H. Day Shows Tendency of
Age Is to Neglect Spiritual for
Worldly Things

At the First Congregational church
yesterday William Horace Day
preached from the text in Matthew
4:4: Man shall not live by bread alone
but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God"
Nothing is harder for us to learn
than to live by the word of God" said
the clergyman. 1.-The first temptation
which assailed Jesus was to turn
stones into loaves of bread and forget
to live by the word of God. Our time
has become peculiarly successful in
making stones into loaves. Our whole
industrial system is complex machine
for producing the bread and butter
basis of life We are trying the old
folly of trying to live by bread alone
because we can turn so many stones
into so much bread.
God is always speaking to his chill
dren and the usual way is through the
conscience. A man must live by the
word of God whispered in conscience.
He who keeps his conscience tender
and sensitive will never find himself
beyond the reach of that voice.
City Has housekeeping Time
"The Bible is often called the word
of God. 1t is the record of Gods word
to men of the past. His word in the
scriptures is a sharp word. 1t cuts
clean. No city can live by bread alone.
We have been having a fierce house,
cleaning. There is a lot of dust in the
air, but we can now see some of the
real color of the rugs. The political
aspects we need not discuss here, but
the moral results as they affect law
breaking and vice cause profound
thanksgiving.
MANY tempted man, realizing that
he has become the slave of some habit,
finding his despairing attempts to
break away are futile, might be free if
he would seek to live by the word of
God. Hiding some great promise in
his heart would liberate him as effectu-
ally as it has others.
eff the word of God by which we
live is in conscience and in the scrip
lures it is supremely manifested in
Christ. In him the word was made
flesh and dwelt among us. A pastor
sat the other night by consumptive
who covered in abject terror at the
thought of death. He knew of no life
save that of bread alone;' as the prom
Uses of Gods love which Jesus had
spoken were repeated to him the face
changed and he, who had forgotten he
was a child of God, believed the words
of the Master. He whispered, I am
not afraid any more
I'm the services of passiontide we
find time to learn of him who is the
word of God and thus find the way to
the life that is in every word that pro-
ceedeth out of the mouth of God"

CANNOT DISTINGUISH
HUMAN FROM DIVINE
Unitarian Minister Says Evolutionary
Doctrine of Unity Has Displaced
the Old Dogma of Sep
aration

Rev. E. Stanton Hodgin preached yes
terday morning at the First Unitarian
church on the place of Christ in Uni
tartan religion. He said in part:
1.-THE dedication of Jesus was the
natural and inevitable outgrowth of the
belief in an absentee God. So long as
great gulf was thought to exist between
God and man-between heaven and
earth-it was necessary that such
gulf should be bridged. Christ, the
divine man, was the bridge by which it
was SPAWNED. BY mystic union with
Christ 1t was thought that man was
carried over from the human to the
divine, from earth to heaven.
But when evolution and the reign of
law replace miracle and arbitrary
power the basis for this need of
bridge is gone. When we see that man
never has fallen but has been always
rising: that God Is not absent but ever
present: that the human and the divine
cannot be separated; that the kingdom
of heaven Is not afar off but Is being
built up out of this life here and now,
there is no chasm to cross and we APP
proach the divine precincts and enter
the kindgom of heaven on the solid
ground of progress and growth.
I'VE heartily agree with those who
tell us that Jesus was the savior of
men. His wonderful life clearly demon
strated that he had that personal power
which searches the heart, that causes
men to forget their selfish and petty
pursuits, filing them with aspirations
and desires that transform them. His
teachings have had that same power
whenever they have been pondered,
from that day to this. But others have
had something of this same power, and
thus they also were saviors of mankind.
So does every one who has the true
spirit of sacrifice and who gladly suf-
fers for his fellows. He makes re-
pentance and forgiveness easier by
pointing the way and aiding in the
building up of new life. We can
truly say of all the great martyrs for
truth. their blood was shed for you
and for me-
Divinity Not Miraculous
1.-THE divinity to which Jesus attained
was an evolution, growth, a develop
ment through experience and effort, not
a miraculous gift. This Is the only
kind of divinity that is consistent with
the thought of today, and this kind of
divinity, to an infinite and limitless de-
gree, is open to every human soul.
"The essence of religion is to see the
divine working in the human raising 1t
ever to a higher level; to recognize the
divinity within ourselves and to be
obedient to It's call. A divine humanity:
that is the greatest thought that has
ever come into the world. 1t received
partial recognition in the dedication of
Jesus. 1t was this that gave Christian
ity its great power. 1t is receiving
fuller recognition in our own day in the
thought of the divinity of mankind.
sit is for the twentieth century to see
this Christ idea rounded out to the
full; made broad as humanity; become
an inclusive instead of an exclusive re-
ligion, and in this sense embrace the
world"

 LIPsCoMB-A Lipscomb family went rom Virginia to South Carolina soon after the Revolution. and settled on Pacolet river in Spartanburg County. It Is said that from this family most of the LApecombs in the Southern States spring. In spartanburg County were also branches of the Wood, Dra- per, Smith and Littlejohn families, and so frequent were marriages among the i've families mentioned that many de- scendants now living trace their gen. enlogy through number of lines to theSfrst Lipscomb settler In South car olina- For Instance there was a mar rfage between William Wood and Nancy Lipscomb. who were not only. first cousins, but grandchildren of the first settler. Then grandson and granddaughter of that couple married, and the children of this last couple de- scended from the first settler through both grandmothers and one grandfath- CT, who, fh time. sprang from the first settler through number of lines.
 I have procured much of the Lips comb senealogy from an old lady. S7 years old. the daughter of William Wood and Nancy Lipscomb, above. and riences of her grandmother during the
  grandmother.
 Left alone. except for one old negro woman. Aunt Judy" during her hus- bands absence with the American army, this grandmother and her faith ful slave cultivated the farm and did all the work of every kind about the place, and at night they hid out to prevent capture by the Tories. who in- fested that neighborhood. When the Spartanburg troops left home, this wife saw her husband with them as they passed her home, marching to the music of the fife, and she told her granddaughter that she "could never afterwards bear to hear the music of the fife for 1t always brought sadness to her heart"
 I have carried this Lpscomb line back to 17S1 in Virginia. I think that earlier records can be found. Many by name of Lipsconb served in the Rev. oiutfon, among them Benoni Lipscomb.
