Without 1t Society Would Co..
lapse, Says Rev. Dr..
c. Ernest Smith.

Declaring that without the help OF or
ganized Christianity-the church--society
itself would collapse, Rev. DR.. G. Ernest
Smith yesterday morning at st. Thomas
Protestant Episcopal Church, preached
the first of his series of sermons on Are
Men Giving the Church a Square Deal?"
DR.. Smith claimed that while men an
tagonistic to the church have done fine
work. their parentage or their surround
ings have been Christian. To show how
mems lives affected their children and
their neighbors, he quoted the records
Of the descendants Of two families one
Influenced by the church and the other
not.
In five generations, he said, there were
12OO descendants of the latter family, $40
of these were professional paupers; 40
were physically wrecked by their own
were Immoral: 1870 were convicted GRIM
inals: 60 habitual thieves, and muir
derers.
Jonathan Edwards Descendants.
The descendants were those of Jona-
than Edwards, q New England pastor.
Not one Of his 1884 descendants
were convicted Of a crime, 100 were
religious workers, IL were college presi-
dents, 3 United States senators, 60
college professors, 100 lawyers. 60 ply
sicians, 40 army and navy officers, ID
prominent authors, several were COVER
nors Of states and one was Vice Frest-
dent Of the Unitet. States.
The poor workmanship OF mechanics. SO
prevalent in recent years. and the spread
of unbelief in socialism could also be
traced, DR.. Smith thought, to a disregard
of the teachings OF the church.
Every man has a perfect right TO say
whether he will bring the church into
his life or not said DR.. Smith, in con-
clusion. That Is between him and his
Maker. 4,ut that man cannot deny that
he and his, and everything around him.
have been helped nightly by this church.
And il Is not the part of true manhood
to sit in a boat and see other men bending
their backs getting the boat ashore. Take
an car. Don't rely on otter peoples good
ness and other peoples work. Stop peing
leaner; be q LITTER"
