DR.. RADCLIFFE EXTENDS
GREETING FROM PULPIT
breaches First Sermon Following Re-
turn from Three Months
Trip to Europe.
ATTENDED ABERDEEN MEETING

DR.. Wallace Radcliffe returned last
Friday from a three months trip in
Europe, and yesterday morning preached
at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church He represented the Presby-
terian Church in the Pan-Presbyterian
Alliance Meeting held in June at Aber-
deem, Scotland, after which he spent
most Of his vacation in France and
Switzerland.
His sermon yesterday was a greeting
and a narration of distinctive events OF
the summer. He spoke Of them as four
visions-a palace, a fiery furnace, book
and a cathedral, and said in part:
THE famous chateau region is in the
garden Of France, where the earlier
kings made their chateaus dreams OF
beauty. triumphs of architecture, homes
of luxury, and Centers Of history. The
chateau was at once A castle, a dungeon,
a brothel and an abbey; their life re-
markable succession of tragedies of blood
and lust and frivolity and piety. Over
against this past rises today another and
more beautiful palace. the Palace of
Peace, whose white walls rise a prayer
and promise OF brotherhood. The tre-
mendous sweep OF the years is bringing
around more distinctly the song Of peace
and good will and realizing the last
dream of Victor Hugo that this century
would see the United States of France,
then the United States of Europe, and
then the United States Of the World"
His second vision was the fiery furnace.
TT burns on sea and land and in the
air. Its imperative demands are ease
and luxury and speed. It asserts itself
on railways, in motors. airships, and
ocean steamers. II dazzles us with its
extrava gance. II attains its aim by sac
rifice OF humanity. 1t burns up char
acter. II feeds men to the furnace. In
the steamer on which sailed one steer
age passenger tried to commit suicide.
another killed his companion, and
stoker, maddened by heat and work,
leaped into the ocean to his death We
must learn that the best thing in the
world is a man. The law of life every
where must be-less luxury above decks,
more humanity below decks"
The third vision was a book
"Churchilrs Inside the Cup was on
every side. or fine literary merit, its
setting ard actors are vivid pictures of
American civilization. 1t is not SO much
novel as a polemic. 1t is challenge
and defiance to the church. He COM
plains against the fragrant, unehristian
social disorders, and his complaint is
Just and imperative. But his remedy is
unjust and futile His remedy is sub
stantially i'm the renunciation OF creed
and destruction of the home. 1t Is a
dangerous book. 1t misrepresents the
church. 1t fails to recognize that per-
manent reform must grow out Of ac-
cepted truth II starts at the wrong
end II transposes doctrine and duty.
and substantially deifies man and
humanizes God"
The fourth vision was a cathedral.
The student cannot ignore the
church. 1t is everywhere Its symbol
often neglected or abused, its worship
often varied and sometimes perverted,

The President at Church

/ President Wilson and DR.. Cary Gray
son attended the service at the Central
Presbyterian Church yesterday morn-
ing. and went for long ride in the aft
ernoon.
With the announcement that the we'd
ding of Miss Jessie Wilson, second daugh-
ter of the President and Mrs. Wilson,
and Mr.. Francis B. Sayre, of New York,
will take place on the afternoon of
November 18th. Washington hostesses
are now busy arranging their winter pro-
gram. Even this early, before any but
those who are concerned in securing
houses or putting the ones they already
have in order for the winter are in
Washington, dates for the fall events are
being rapidly taken. Nothing is more dis
couraging to a debutante than to find
| that her dance will fall on the date set
for an Embassy ball or a dancsNor other
| entertainment in honor of a daughter of
the President. 1t would be even more of
calamity TO set ones coming out date
| at the time of a White House wedding
| The interior OF the White House has
been thoroughly gone over this summer,
although the alterations and redecora-
| tions have in no way altered the rooms
as history remembers them. In fact the
| license"given the wives of Presidents of
!
fifty years to make what changes they
see fit in the historic old White House
has not caused many changes in the
general aspect of the state rooms. Only
the East room under the Roosevelt ad-
ministration was SO remodeled as to
make it different from the room of fifty
years ago.
The Secretary OF War and Mrs Gar
rison are guests OF Mr.. and Mrs. George
Leary at their home on the Hudson

EVANGELIST PLEADS
FOR HIGHER IDEALS
H. Clay Rockwell Tells Congregation
Comparatively Few Church Men,
bers Are Following Path Closely.

In a plea for the membership OF the
churches to live closer to the ideals as
handed down to them by Christ, Evan
gelist H. Clay Rockwell, of New York,
in an address before the Washington
Temple congregation, in New Masonic
Temple yesterday afternoon. declared
that it seems as though only about Is
per cent Of the church members Of today
are following as closely in the path OF
the lowly Nazarene as human flesh
should be expected.
Thirty-five per cent more, he pointed
out, are lust paying dues and going
through the ordinary functions of the
churchgoer" without having the great
ideals of faith ever before them in their
daily life and living up TO them in their
conduct toward their fellow-men.
The remaining 50 per cent of the church
membership OF the day, the evangelist
declared, are similar to those members
Of labor union whom a labor leader
once characterized as "hangers-on."
Such condition in the church today,
Mr.. Rockwell averred, calls for vaca-
tions of less length on the part Of pas
tors, and more time given to the work
Of keeping the individual more steadfast
in the pathway that his Lord would have
him ever pursuing.
Pleading for more preaching OF Jesus
Christ and Him Crucified,"t the evangel-
ist called attention. in concluding. that
in one city OF the country-Boston-it
seems as though the great sacrifice OF
the Redeemer in submitting to death
that the world might be redeemed has
been forgotten. when zone considers the
multitude OF creeds which has grown
up in the Hub City OF the universe,
city which / might liken now unto
Athens when the Apostle Paul spoke to
its inhabitants from Mars HILL"

Hull, author of the income tax amend
ment as 1t appeared in the House bill,

trative features also were changed in
many respects. The cotton futures
