ton an It's .SDredd.

"e heV DR.. William Carter. in his morn
sermon yesterday at the Madison Ave
nue reformed Church declared that irrev-
e"oe and blasphemy have empted the
0nurches and are threatening to wreck the
nation
MS Is q light 1ippant and frivolous
age said DR. Carter. IN the course OF his
sooFess. and the stream of blasphemy
sno profanity is flowing in a wide channel
II enters into social relations as well as
business relations, and into the very home.
cehling everything and every one with
"honn It comes in contact
quote from an expert investigator
that in the schools to-day profanity is in
creasing among all classes OF children and
IN all parts Of the country. It presents a.
serious problem for both the present and
the future The fact that our democratic
scheme of life levels downward as well as
upward is one of the underlying causes
We are not segregated in classes like
peoples of oIner nations. The stable boy
and boy Of upper stratum mingle together
Corruption downward sets in. and the only
hope is that the pull upward will outpull
those who drag downward.
The practice OF American slang-which
is so universaI-is but a cowardly make
shift for blaspheu1y. Those who try TO go
as near as possible to the edge of the
ragged line separating slang from bias
pheTny and irreyerence are in peril We
should say TO our young people: DO not
see how near you can go TO the ragged line
between slang and blaspheny. but how far
away you can stay "
Dr. Carter suggested a remedy for poor
attendance on night services of New York
churches. He proposed that the young
peoples meetings be changed from the
evening 10 the afternoon on Sunday, and
that on Sunday nights ten or twelve
churches in each community unite in in
terdenominational evangelistic gospel ser
vices. with combined choirs congregations
and pastors, with q crowded church rather

Everything big seems TO be in style this

wearers, but jewelry is reaching enormous
proportions. Chains are longer and heavier
than they ever were; old-fashioned, deeply
set rings and canoes are back in all their
former glory. Belt buckles average from {
70 inches in width, and collar pins look
like athletic medals. Rings are worn in
