MORAL HERO GREATEST,
DECLARES DR.. CLARK
His Achievements Said to Surpass
Those of the Military Man
Who Wins Battles.

The third week of the month of spe-
cial Gospel meetings at Hamline Meth
odist Episcopal Church, Ninth and P
streets northwest. was ushered In last
night before a congregation that taxed
the auditorium to capacity, Rev. DR..
Lucius c. Clark, pastor, preaching on
''The Greatest Battle of Great War
rior."
EVERY nation pays honor toi its mil
itary heroes: they are praised and feted.
and long remembered" said DR.. Clark.
But what Of the moral here, who. in
many respects, is greater than the mil
itary hero? He goes through life unher-
aided and unsung, although he has
braved battles much fiercer than those
the warrior has encountered. Character,
not brass Nbuttons, should be the basis
of heroism and hero worship"
DR.. Clark told the story Of Naman.
the mighty warrior and the leper.
'.Naman," he said. ''is type OF the
sin-sick folk of this present-day world.
There are people today whose eyes are
SO leprous that to them the sinful and
the corrupt appear as the beautiful.
Naman was a warrior. victor In many
battles, but his greatest battle was q
moral one. a victory over pride and lack
of faith. Just as Naran got down from
his chariot and dipped himself in the
river Jordan. so must We get out of our
chariots of pride and selfishness. and put
ON the cloak Of humility.
Tho special meetings are to continue
every evening except Saturday through
out the month, commencing at 7:5
O'Clock. There will be special soioist
for each evening. Music will be furnished
by q large chorus and an orchestra.

peter WALDO'S fight
SUBJECT Of SERMON
Work of the Early Reformer Discussed
by Rev. Dr.. Wallace
Radcliffe.
ITS ECHO CALLED THREEF0LD

The fight OF Peter Waldo, one Of the
earliest reformers. against the estab-
/ lished order of the church was the sub
ject Of the sermon OF Rev. DR.. Wallace
Radcliffe yesterday. DR.. Radcliffe said
In part:
There were reformers before Luther.
Many fervent souls felt the CALLING yoke
of spiritual despotism. and many lives
paid the penalty Of their outspoken ques-
tion. 1t was a long struggle within the
church between external authority and
individual freedom
waldo had the Latin Bible translated
into the French language. and thus was
the first to put the Word into a modern
language. His message became an i'm
mediate protest against penances and
pardons and the bold assertion of the
individual. He and his disciples might
have become the preaching friars OF
the church IL the bishops and popes had
been wiser.
But the pope ordained their excom-
munication and the more they were
prosecuted. the more they multiplied and
grew.
