This is the most extraordinary

And Roosevelt has seen some ex.
traordinary things In the way Of con
gregations.
What did they come for and what
did they hear?
This is a sample Of what they
heard:
Let the man who goes to church
and reads the Bible feel that Il is
peculiarly incumbent on him so to
live in the face Of the world that no
discredit can be brought on his creed
or on the Book"
Or this: ,.,,
More and more 7 believe that all
people who possess either religious
belief or aspiration are going to de-
mand conduct as the ultimate test Of
the worth of a belief"
No Pyrotechnics.
There was nothing sensational. no
soul-stirring excitement and cloud
lifting-just a plain talk to the heart
of the plain people, with the sun
beaming on the scene and the trees
rustling
Roosevelt strove hard to repay the
thousands for their wait. When it
was over he went to the edge Of the
platform and spoke TO an old lady
who had stood all through the talk,
her upturned face trembling directly
under him.
Madam he said, 81 am profoundly
sorry that you should have had %

haven't done you much good. but I
want to tell you that you have done
me a lot of good"
Then he bowed to all the crowd as
though to include them all in this last
sentiment.
The great crowd vibrated for him
and told him as plainly as could be
when he was right and when he was
wrong.
He abhorred a man who had a
beautiful religion on Sunday. he said.
and then proceeded to forget it the
rest of the week. A little wave of
laughter broke over the platform. The
faces seemed to say:
That's right; we know such men
Tell us some you know"
He warmed to the subject.

But I dislike him most when lie

THE man who advances the fact
that he goes to church and reads the
Bible as an offset to the fact that he
is scoundrel in his public and pri-
vate relations only writes our con-
domination in larger letters than be-
fore.
"All of you have seen the appeal
made to stand by a man who has
done evil because he is a pillar in
the church. Such a man is a rotten
pillar in any church.
