DEMOCRACY LIKENED BY
PASTOR TO CHRISTIANITY

DR.. ]. Percival Huget, pastor OF the
First Congregational church, spoke
Sunday morning on the subject,
Gods purposes undefeated," and the
discourse was characterized by force
and optimistic prophecy. After refer
ling to the progress already made In
civilization and the great moral and
ethical advancement OF the present,
future progress was prophesied along
certain large lines. The frst OF these
was world peace. He said, In sub
stance: Sooner or later the forces
CT real Christianity will end war be-
tween the nations, but IL will not stop
there, but will go on TO international
cooperation for the better accom-
phshment of world movements. Ma
tiCns will not work individually or in
antagonism or misunderstanding. but
will combine to bring about those
lines of human betterment which can
only be accomplished by worldwide
SO operation"
Speaking OF the increasing attain
ment OF social and industrial justice
DR.. Huget said that Christianity and
Democracy are alike in that they re-
quire the uplift OF all men: not the
good OF favored few.
In predicting the ultimate over
throw OF organized vice, the speaker
ceclared that the ideal conditions OF
human life can never come until the
forces which prey on human deprav-
ity and passion, gripping with Shiny
and bloody fingers for the control OF
government" had been eliminated.
Then and then only will we finally
conquer poverty and ignorance and
disease" was the last OF FIVE proposi.
tions presented.

SAYS VICE COMES
WITH RAPID GROWTH
Rabbi Franklin Points to Shock
ing Penalty Detroit
is Paying

Discussing Some City Problems"
Sunday morning. in Temple Beth Ei.
Rabbi Leo Franklin declared that one
OF the shocking penalties Detroit Is
paying for rapid growth Is that vice
no longer feels It necessary to wrap
itself In the outward cloak OF re-
spectability." 1T Is true ALSO" said
DIR. Franklin, that many times the
cloak seeming respectability only
serves to hide from the public view
phases of immortality which would be
hooted at could tho wearer not afford
TO buy the cloak.
Virtue is prone to put on the
trappings of vice. Women who would
not think an unclean thought, follow
the fashions OF their sisters from the
lower ranks and invite insult.
= The moral pervert must be put
out OF harms way. but 1t Is OF infin-
itely greater Importance that the
greed OF landlordism, the vices OF our
Industrial system, the premium set
upon loose living by underpay and
overwork. should be adequately dealt

close observation had proved to him
that the practice of the parents OF
Detroit of permitting their boys and
girls to 60 to Belle Isle and to ride on
the boats In the evening unaccompan-
led. was a grave source OF evil.
Answering his own question Are
the goys and girls of our city safer
In the negative, the Rev. Frank 8.
Rowland, In Cass-ave. Methodist
church Sunday, told a large congrega-
tion that among the reasons was the
prevalence of the moving picture
house, the low-priced vaudeville thea
ter and public dance hall. Among
the remedies suggested by DR.. Row.
land were more careful censorship OF
all places OF amusement frequented
by our youth; more modest dress OF
women; a larger number of public
play grounds; more open churches
seven days in the week; more and
better attention to the religious life
OF our youth; Bible schools with
strained teachers and these schools
opened more than one day in the
week.

SUICIDE BECOMING
GREAT NATIONAL SIN

Declaring his belief that suicide Is
becoming one of Americas great ma
tional sins, the Rev. j. M. Barkley,
In the Forest-ave. Presbyterian church
Sunday evening said. ito leave life by
the self-murder route Is to run into
eternal pain" Thousands never think
OF suicide as sin because they do
not relate Ii to God at ALL" said DIR.
Barkley. killing ones self would be
as much transgression OF specific
Divine command as killing another.
Let no one be so deceived as to think
that bodily insensibfiity is the end
of all pain" DIR. Barkley said that "our
crazy quilt civilization is responsible
for the lack of steadiness and bal
ance which should turn man aside
from the thought of self-destrnction
and cause him to face difficult prob
lem with the courage OF man. DR..
Barkley deplored the fact that the
over-drive Of American business life
Is pushing men to madness.
