HILLS ADVICE TOPREACHERS
Says Pessmsm Has No Place in the
Pulpit.

Chicago, July 11.-"One hundred
years ago every man in the United
States got drunk once a week-eX-
cept my progenitors and yours. One
hundred years ago every man was a
gambler-except our own particular
ancestors. It's foolish to say that the
world is growing worse"
These statements were made by
Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, in a lee
ture on "The New Position of the
Pulpit to American Society" in Man,
del hall, University of Chicago.
Society has right to demand OPP
timism from the man in the pulpit" Z"
he continued. There is no room for
pessimism. The man who breaches that
all politicians are grafters and holds
up rascals in every branch of society
and then sends his audience home to
enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner is ig-
norant of history. No man can read
history intelligently and be a pessi-
mist Social problems are not for the
pulpit | believe in social progress,
but we must not turn Sunday, the
souls library and cathedral day, into
something else"

New York, July 11.-Dynamite
bombs placed under the new trestle

Jersey City exploded, seriously dam
aging the steel structure and smash
ing windows for half mile around
In the Greenville section.
AS the results of the first explosion
two sixty-foot iron girders were
wrenched from their position, one of
them being driven through a steel car
on the New Jersey Central, riding
near the trestle.
A second explosion, three-quarters
of an hour later, tossed up two more
girders.
The police believe both bombs were
set off by means of time fuses and
that the second bomb was timed to
explode amongst those who had been
attracted to the scene by the first ex-
plosion. No one was injured.

repeats that "ours is a government of

''If it lay in my power to say wheth-
er the pictures should be exhibited, il
would not take me long to decide it.

you be so good as to remember that

law just as 1t is, and you may be alb
solutely certain that / shall not take
the law into my own hands.
"You say that you are glad to see
that the mayors of many cities have
ordered that these pictures shall not
be exhibited. Indeed? Who set them
up as autocrats? If there be some
valid law giving any mayor such pow
er then he can exercise it; otherwise
not.
"The growing exercise of arbitrary
power in this country by those put in
office would be far more dangerous
and Is far more to be dreaded than
certain other vices which we all wish
to minimize or be rid OF. People little
know what they are doing when they
try to encourage officials to resort to
arbitrary power"
