Trinity VI. T..
For his sermon at the Trinity VI. f.
church, Blaine r. Fitzpatrick took his
text from Psalms 1:21:1. In part he
said, With most people life is a con-
slant struggle and it is natural to seek
health. The problem is not TO escape
the struggles but TO find the best
means of help. Some turn TO worry
as a source for the restoration of
health. Uncle Sam worries more than
any other nation. Worry deprives a
man or nation of health, eating into
the mind and body of the man.

At First VI. T..
Thousands of people here in South
Bend, who were once active church
members in smaller towns, in coming
10 the larger town, have been drawn
away from former community laws
and the church. because of the free
dom of the city along social lines.
These were in substance the words
of Rev. Henry l.. Davis in his sermon
at the First NJ. +. church Sunday
night, when he preached on the sub
jet, Law and Liberty"
He said that in smaller communf-
ties where everyone is we'll known
and the actions of all are guarded by
certain community law. people took
extra caution 20 make their lives bet
ter. but when they got into larger
social circles where their actions were
not watched they were liable to work
away from the power of the church.
He took his text from Paurs letter
10 Galatians, the fifth chapter and
the 18th verse, For, brethren, We
have been called unto liberty. only
use not liberty for an occasion 10 the
ueSNs out Dy lONe serve one another"
RapS Newspapers.
In pointing 10 the abuse Of liberty
taken by some Of the modern insti-
tutiOns he said. The yellow news
papers of today are unfit for either
the child or the adult 10 read Di-
vOrces. murders. crimes and suicides
are played up in large attractive
types" He strongly censured the
widespread principles that demand
that they be published in that form
Years ago" he said, people were
compelled by law 10 do certain things.
Such laws as those compelling men
10 serve for a number of years in
the army. and laws regarding the
church as compulsory attendance have
all been abolished. and the liberties
OF the people have been enlarged.
We have risen above former laws.
However, many OF the present pop
ulation OF South Bend are not church
members. as they would have been
under former laws. only 8 per cent
attend church in the city. Formerly
there were laws compelling men TO
turn over a part OF their earnings TO
the church. They now give according
10 their ability.
Both morning and evening services
were we'll attended and special music
was furnished by the choir. a special
chorus is being arranged for the
church TO be conducted by Milton B.
Griffith.
