FOR WARS END, HE SAYS

Run After Them.

1.-The religion of Jesus Christ is abso-
lutely in the saddle" declared Rev. DR..
Frank Gunsaulus of the Armour 1nsti-
tute, Chicago, speaking at this morn
ing's session of the worlds Bible con-
ference, being held at the First Con-
gregational Church this week.
There has been no scientific discov-
cry of the last twenty years that does
not uphold the truths of the Bible. and
that is not found better stated in the
Bible" continued DR.. Gunsaulus. Man
for the last twenty years has been wor-
Shipping in the language of science the
cellular structure of man means inn
mite love. There is no such thing as
an atheistic man, even as there is no
such thing as an atheistic rose. The
sun thirst of the rose keeps it true,
and the God thirst of man makes him
know the truth. AS comes the sun
shine to reveal the sun to the roses. so
comes Christ to reveal God to man.
THE church Of today must be pre-
nared for what will come at the close
of this terrible war;" DR.. Gunsauius
declared.
..The church must get ready. for tine
fact is that with the overthrow OF
materialism which has come ABOUT IN
the last twenty years, our danger Is
on the direction of anti-realism' OF
too much idealism, OF an utter pam
theism Only the other day we won
dered if We had a soul; 10daS we
wonder if we have a body. The soul
has come in at the front door.

criticises German Criticism.
.The scientists of Ge5many sat down
with a stein of beer and pipe and de-
clared untrue everything they did not
understand in the Bible. They oecloeo
to settle every question for themselves.
But now every archeologists PICK
makes us a little surer that the Blple
was written by men inspired by God"
Preachers who run after every wind
of German criticism were severely
scored by DR.. Williams. He declared
that the present forms of the church
may pass away and change to new
forms unless Christian people really
work and live in the spirit of Christ.
"The church itself will not pass
away" he said.
Rev. J. R. Wright. pastor of Metho-
dist Church. Brookland. offered a
prayer for the "men across the seas
who are suffering and dying" and
spoke of the false teachings of am

teachings of Jesus Christ" The con-
Kregation sang the hymn. Something
