PARABLE OF PRODIGAL
SON PREACHERS THEME.
DR.. Thomas Villers Continues
Story of Biblical Wanderer.

DR.. Thomas ]. Villers in the Peddie
Memorial Church last night continued
his STORY of the Prodigal Son." Chap
ter 2 proved as interesting as the be-
ginning of the story last week. and he
was listened to with rapt attention by
the large congregation.
In the course of the story DR.. Villers
said: "In His matchless parable Jesus
represents this young man as in a hurry
to leave his father. and when he did
leave he put as long a distance as pos
sible between himself and home, show
ing the lengths to which a man will go
when once he turns his feet and his
face away from God.
Sooner or later the spendthrift to
passion becomes a debtor to thought.
This son came to himself. Want drove
him to a good resolution. Better come
back to God from a low motive than
not come at all. God o us at the
swine trough, but does not feed us
until we return home.
This boy was we'll reared, but he
despised It. He had good environment,
bu he left 1t. The pleasures of sin
lasted but for a season. He grew
hungry and ragged and heartsick and
homesick. He made a good resolve
and kept 1t. He arose and started
back"

MEN ARE OUTSIDE
OF CHURCH, SAYS PASTOR.
Rev. Mcdowell Sees Goodness
Without Organized Religion.

Taking for his subject Are There
Men Outside of the Church" the
Rev. John Mcdowell, at the r
Presbyterian Church, last night took
the affirmative side Of the question,
in a strong address from the text,
Matthew xii, 80. "He that is not for
Me is against Me-" proved his answer.
In part, the Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell said;
Some people think that In making
this admission you are ~discounting the
necessity of the church. But this does
not necessarily follow. We are asked
If men can be %virtuous and humane
without the aid of organized religion.
Good men everywhere, whether In
the church or outside of the church,
ought to remember that Jesus Christ
is the embodiment Of goodness. and the
final test of any mans goodness is
found in his attitude to Him."

PRESIDENT WILSON
SCORES CHURCHES
AND COLLEGES
Princeton Head Says Former
Have More Regard for Pew
Rents Than Mems Souls.

PRINCETON, April 1S.-Members OF
the faculty and students of Princeton
University are today discussing the
address delivered by President Wood
row Wilson at the Princeton Alumni
banquet In P1ttsburg Saturday night.
DR.. Wilson made an attack on the
methods of Protestant churches of the
present day, denounced privately main
tanned colleges, and said that the col
lege-bred man Of today was too ex-
elusive. He closed his address with
the following
If she loses her self-possession
America will stagger like France
through fields of blood before she again
finds peace and prosperity under the
leadership of men who know her
needs"
In part President Wilson said:
How does the nation judge Prince
ton? The institution is intended for the
service of the country, and 1t is by the
requirements of the country that it
will be measured. / trust I may be
thought among the last to blame the
churches, yet l feel it my duty to say
that they-at least the Protestant
churches-are serving the classes and
not the masses of the people. They
have more regard for the pew rents
than for the mems souls. They are de-
pressing the level of Christian en-
deavor.
1T Is the same with the universities.
We look for the support of the wealthy,
and neglect our opportunities to serve
the people. 1t is for this reason the
State university is held in popular ap-
prevail, while the privately supported
institution to which we belong Is CON-
ing to suffer a corresponding loss of
esteem.
while attending a recent Lincoln
celebration / asked myself if Lincoln
would have been as serviceable to the
people of this country had he been a
college man, and l was obliged to say
to myself that he would not. The
process to which the college a is
subjected does not render him service
able to the country as a whole. 1t is
for this reason that 1 have dedicated
every power in me to a democratic re-
generation.
1.-The American college must have be-
come saturated in the same sympathies
as the common people. The colleges of
this country must be reconstructed
from the top to the bottom. The
American people will tolerate nothing
tina savors of exclusiveness. Their
political parties are going to pieces.
They are busy with their moral re-
generation, n they want leaders who
can help them to accomplish it. Only
those leaders who seem able to promise
something of a moral advance are able

GOMPERS IN CHURCH
SILENCES A CHALLENGER,

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, voluntarily submitted
to a heckling at the Metropolitan Tenn
pie last night after he had delivered an
address on the Moral Uplift of Trades
Unionism." He retorted caustically to
a man in the audience who remarked
that it was "the business of Sam Com
pers to make union converts and not
to appear in a church saving souls"
I'm capable of taking care of my

not engaged directly IN the saving OF
souls, I'm trying the best / know how
to save humanity, and I'll go to church

MISSION WORK AID TO
LOCAL CHURCH, SAYS PASTOR
The Rev. 7. A. MOffat Speaks on
Development of Foreign Schools.

The influence for good that the de-
velopment Of foreign missions has on
affairs at home a discussed by the
Rev. T. Arid Moffat in the First con-
gregational lube Memorial Church,
yesterday. He spoke Of the general
spirit of unrest which Is prevailing all
over the world and outlined a plan by
which the foreign mission movement
would, as he expressed it, become the
savior of emaciated civilization"
Continuing, Mr.. Moffat said:
1.-THE sick man seldom finds cure in
morbid introspection; his study of
symptoms only aggravates his evil
condition. This may be just as true
In our national ailments; our salvation
is to be found in getting away from
ourselves into the great outdoors of
world wide service n breathing the
fresh air of usefulness"

HOSTS OF IRISH
AMERICANS GOING
HOME IN SUMMER
Concessions Being Made All
Over Ireland to Members
of New Association.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Ireland is
awakening to the fact that a deiuge
of Americans are to visit the island
during the coming summer. The irish
Home-Going Association is receiving an
immense amount of information WITT
relation to the preparation that Is go
ing forward in the old country. n
week. for instance, a communication
has been received from the Hotel and
Tourist Association of the Island to the
effect that already s~eventy-five of the
leading hotels Of the country nave
offered a reduction of 10 per cent. on
their regular rates to members OF the
Home-Going Association upo pre-
sentation of their cards of membership.
The hotels include some of the very
best In the island. The large cities,
the water fronts, the small towns, are
all represented. BY the time the mi
grafton begins 1t is expected that con-
cessions will be offered In all the
towns of the island. The mass of the
entertaining will, however. be In the
homes of the people. for the visitors
mostly have friends n relatives to
help take care of them.
Further information has been re-
ceived to the effect hat a motor tour
ing company has been formed in Ire
LAND for the especial purpose of hand
ling the travel of the ensuing summer
and that special trips will be arranged
by motor that will include the entire
island and that will be conducted by
guides who are familiar with all the
facts and romance with regard to it.
This is an innovation in ireland which
has hitherto known nothing of this
sort of thing. The transportation com
panies by rail and by zoe are also ar
ranging for the handling of the
throngs. Special service is being ar
ranged and special rates made.
AS a further indication of the de-
velopment of the movement on the
part of sh-Americans to return
to their native land, with the idea of
planting something of American pros
perity there. indisputable tendencies
are to be seen on the American side.
The steamship companies report that
already there is a heavy call for reser-
vations to Irish ports. These reserva-
tons far surpass those of any other
season in the history of h companies
at this time of year. They are the first
evidences that the Home-Going AS
ISOLATION has received that indicate
that the movement Is an accomplished
success.
The association headquarters in
Washington Is arranging in detail all
information received and broadcasting
1t throughout the country that those
making the trip may be aided by as
complete an understanding of the facts
as may be had From this time for
ward matters will be assuming more
definite proportions and the associa-
ton will use every effort to keep the
prospective tourists posted.

1.-THE problem of marriage" he said
recently, docs not lie as heavily on the
mind of the poor man as it does on h a
of the rich. The poor man has at
least the comforting thought that he Is
the loved head of the household and
not merely the treasury vault. What
a fine thing it would be if a man bur-
dened with wealth could just elm
mate the million side of his person
atty and fit away for a year! He
would then get a girl who wanted him.
But you can't do it, and 1 guess I'm
a confirmed bachelor, all right"
