BACCHUS AND MOLOCH
ARE MODERN GODS
Rev. James Shera Montgomery Tells
Congregation that They Are
Abroad in the Land.

That the old pagan gods. Bacchus and
Moloch, are in a sense modern gods
and are unconsciously worshiped by
many in our pleasure-loving, waterfalls
tic society was the idea expressed by
Dr. James Shera Montgomery in a SER
mon delivered at the Metropolitan
Church last evening. But though this Is
true, 1t Is temporary condition. Chris
tianity is steadily advancing and gaining
followers. DR.. Montgomery said, in
part:
To-day we do not witness in vain a
waste of time, money, and effort. The
air is not vexed with clamorous voices
of defeat Our cause Is marching on
The multitudes Of Christian hosts are
not just numbering along neither are
they guilty Of stupidity and malignant
wandering Men are not disturbed be-
cause they nave lost the Christ. but they
are being filled with anxiety because
they are finding Him. When He comes
in, there is always rolling OF the ele-
ments. The certificate Of the worth OF
Jesus is found in the enemies He makes.
and on the other hand the good, whole
some followers He blesses and claims.
But Bacchus, the modern god OF self
indulgence, excess and tumultuous
pleasure, Is with us. A gay. frantic null
titude is in his train. They are just
living for the beads that sparkle on the
rim of the cup of pleasure They shine,
simper, and swim; and, like a man
working in the boiler shop. they hear
nothing but their own noise. Moderation
and modesty are the patent marks of
elegance. Easy society makes easy mar
riage; easy marriage makes easy di-
vorce and this is the legitimate fruit
of a social life that recognizes but few
bounds.
"Moloch is another modern god'-the
god of selfishness, cruelty. power, ambi-
ton, and tyranny. He also Is In our

the skirt disappears under this panel at

pointed pins better hurry to cover, else
the bluecoats will get them.
In Massachusetts, too, the policemen
are having all kinds of trouble over the
hatpin law.-They have no authority to
arrest; the most they can do Is to take
an offenders name and address, and Sc
cure a summons for her appearance In
court later on. The lawosays regarding
the point, so far and no farther, and how
are the poor guardians Of public safety
to determine whether it's half an inch or
40 sticking cut, or a matter Of one, two,
three, or four inches? Just now the most
they are doing is politely to warn, and
leave the rest to time and the womanly
conscience.
In Sydney, ~ S. W., some time ago
sixty women were arrested and fined for
exceeding the limit of steel allowed by
law And they entered violent protest.
because they thought of a few other
things that cried aloud to be fined. and
they vehemently declared it very unfair.
for their little hatipns were just nothing
at all compared to some Of the evils they
might mention.
But meanwhile reports Of new laws and
ordinances concerning the menacing hat
pin are persistently drifting In.
More Important Abuses.
many times in public places she just
cannot take her eyes OF Of pin-points
that sharply protrude a good four
inches, because it is idle to deny that
the indifference or the lack Of thought
may sometime lead to mighty conse-
quences-indeed, it has. And she has
wondered why something thoughtful and
womanly has not whispered to the
wearers to remove the bits Of dangerous
steel. remove them before they must.
And while she fully agrees with those
who are protesting that there are many
more important abuses for grave law
makers to try to remedy, she has not
much to say against the activity against
the hatpin, because it is so needless a
danger to infiict upon the public.
But she wishes, and so do many 9TH
ers, that 1t had been women who had
taken the initiative, for it is one of the
little things that do not speak so very
well Of woman's claim to thoughtful
ness. There are far graver things on
the other side-but what matters that,
from the woman's viewpoint? For her
part in the world should be to prove
herself as considerable, as helpful as she
can.
AS to the hatpin and as to man-it
seems rather like tempest in a teapot.

But as to the hatpin and as to woman
well, that is another matter. If 1t
happens that woman's ways Of breaking

pared with some other ways We know.
that is quite to womsn's credit. and as
much to her advantage. But that does
not take from her the manifest duty OF
all her ways that are evil.

PROTECTING WORLD
AGAINST HATPN
Laws Brush Aside Ant Hills While
They Let Mountains
Stand.
By FRANCES SHAFFER.

Really, one is sore beset with con-
flicting emotions as she reads Of all the
laws and ordinances passed to protect
suffering humanity against-the hatpin.
For, on the one hand, there stands
the sorry truth that several inches of
sharp steel protruding from a woman 5
hat may do a lot of harm If it chances
is only fair to protect the public. But
there also stands another truth: Our
cities are menaced with evils far greater
than any ever wrought by that harmful
little weapon, that is not meant to be
harmful at all. And from the viewpoint
of woman, it would seem like brushing
aside ant hills and letting huge noun
tains stand.
In Germany, where long hatpins have
been forbidden by law, that prohibition
is about to be followed, so 1t Is said, by
la campaign against projecting feathers
and trimmings stiffened with wires or
otherwise. 1t seems that men have COM
planned against the fiaring ornaments.
and that awhile ago the eye of hapless
passenger in a car was seriously injured
by a wired feather-hence the disturb
ance.
At present, so far as the stiffened
trimming is concerned, the prohibition
order is only pending, and it may never
become operative, as women have not
taken very kindly TO the talk and are
intimating resistance.
