CHURCH METHOD CHANGE.
Action, Rather Than Mute Assent
to Creeds, Mr.. Nesbit's Idea.

In a lecture in the Church of Our
Father, Universalist, last night, Charles
r Nesbit voiced IA prediction concern
ing the churches of the future. He said
they will have to partake of the nature
of boards of trade or labor unions.
where all members will naturally take
part in the discussions and in all busi-
ness transacted. Go to one of the
trades union meetings today, and see
how free and frank the men are, and
then contrast these meetings with the
average prayer meetings OF the pres
ent day. The labor unions and fraternal
orders are attempting to help man to
work in brotherhood. And the churches
of the future will be the true univer-
stiles. where students in the school of
life will meet and discuss it's problems
in the spirit Of Christ
THE increase of laymen's organiza
tions within and without our churches
is truly marvellous" Mr.. Nesbit added
The Y. NJ. c. a., st. Andrews
Brotherhood and various other brother
hoods, and the great increase in
mems Bible classes, all live and grow
because they are attempting to practice
to live Christianity. The creeds do
not bother men much today; life lis too
strong. The Bible was a life before
it became book. Moses crossed the
Jesus Christ lived and was cruel
fled before the gospel was written. So
the strong religious life of our land
today is expressing itself in action and
service and not in mute assent TO
creedS."

THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM.
DR.. John Reid Shannon Describes
Journey to Holy Land.

Rev. Dr. John Reid Shannon OF the
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church
preached his seventh sermon In the series
describing travels in the Holy Land yes
terday evening. His discourse last night
was confined to a journey from Nazareth
to Jerusalem by the same route which
Christ and his disciples used. He de-
scribed Jerusalem, Nazareth, the ancient
city of Samaria and Jacobs we'll as they
appear today.
I'VE travelled over rough bride paths
only wide enough for a horse or mule
and were several days on the journey be-
tween the two places said DIR. Shannon.
"One of the most interesting places was
the plain of Esdraelon, over which we had
to pass. 1t is rich in biblical history, and
for centuries was the trail of nations,
ancient and modern, in this section of
the world. Today 1t is infested with rob-
her bands, which MAKE travelling dan
gerous unless one is accompanied by
armed guards.
IF Palestine. he continued, were free
from the Turkish yoke and could be
brought under the influences of Chris
tianity, its wildernesses and solitary
places would rejoice and it would again
be land of content

Moses, the Maker Of the Law" was
the subject Rev. Dr. Charles Wood took
for his discourse in the Church Of the

laid their laws along the same lines,
they, too, would be immortal.

SUCCESS HIS THEME.
Visiting Minister'S Sermon at Sher.
wood PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Rev. T. B. Thompson of Auburn. y. ",
preached before the newly organized con-
gregation of the Sherwood Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning and evening,
taking for his theme at the morning serv-
ice "A Successful Life He said that
what the world deems success is not de-
pendent upon goodness. but that this
worldly success is often but seeming
one. Real success in life is determined
by the outcome, and by this standard the
failure from a worldly standpoint may
be the man of real success. Not the length
of life but what that life stands for
counts. The martyred Lincoln lived a
longer life than Methuselah.
The Sherwood congregation is Temporal
rily holding its services in the Odd Fell
lows Hall on Rhode Island avenue near
10Th street northeast. Plans for a church
edtice are in progress, and active build
ing operations will shortly be begun on
a lot already selected for that purpose
Persons living in Sherwood, Woodbridge,
Langdon or any of the neighboring SUBJ
divisions. who have no other church
home are invited to unite with this con-
gregation.

STRONGEST IN THE WORLD.
Congress as a Temperance Body Dis
cussed by Member.

THE strongest temperance body in the
United States. and perhaps In the world,
is the House of Representatives" said
Representative William s. Bennett Of New
York yesterday, addressing a meeting at
Luther Place Memorial Church in the in
terests of the Gallinger bill for liquor
traffic reform in the District
If any temperance or prohibition meas
ure comes up on the floor Of the House
1t is sure to pass added Mr.. Bennett,
who is himself white ribboner, although
he Gomez from district in which there
are 400 saloons.
Mr.. Bennett. who has been mentioned as
timber for New York state,
said that while the Gallinger bill did not
come up TO his idea of the liquor reform
which should be inaugurated in the Dis
trict, he would support it as a step in
the right direction.
The mass meeting was enthusiastic in
its support of the Gallinger bill. Rev
Mr. Dexter of Takoma Park opened the
meeting with an invocation and Rev. +.
c. Dinwidee introduced Representative
Bennett.
IF ! can get the Gallinger bill on the
floor of the House it will pass with few
dissenting votes. 1t will pass simply be-
cause so many members represent tenn
perance districts and each of them will
try to please his constituents. II the
country wants Washington dry 1t will 60

Mr.. Bennett said there was saloon
to every 1893 persons in New York city.
which was far too many. A bill had
been introduced to limit the number of
saloons to one to every thousand popua-
tion he said. and 1t was expected this
bill would be adopted.
There are too many saloons here In
Washington. too said Mr.. Bennett. land
law limiting them to one to every
thousand persons would be a help. / was
anna zed to learn that one person to every
twenty in the District is dependent upon
charity. The reason for this is obvious

Of the people of France today are not

Luke: Now when the sun was setting.
