The Frendlu Path

The Friendly Path we hope shall
each week carry some message Of good
cheer and helpfulness 1t is to be opt-
mistio and to strive always to find the
best in everything.
Bad can only be improved to the great
est extent by copying after the best in
life. The helping hand always wins more
battle and does more good than the one
that tries to win by hard blows.
The man who criticises the laws and
their makers but never goes to the polls,
could see the greatest enemy OF the ma
ton by looking into mirror.
We have known men down in the slums,
lost to friends, and sometimes wearing
the pallor of the prison cell, who were
good at heart, but whose lives we're
shattered by the sting of distrust and
unkind words when a few words Of
cheer and kindness would have started
them on their way to successful lives and
happiness.
Let us stroll together down THE
Friendly Path and find the peace and
JOY that comes through looking for the
good things that are scattered aheut IS
everywhere. a..

COLFELT CHURCH TO
BE SOLD; EDIFICE
USED FIFTY YEARS
Presbyterian Congregation,
Few in Numbers in Recent
Years, Reluctant to Let
Pastor Colts History.

With the retirement of the Rev DR..
Lawrence NJ. Colfelt from the pastorate
of the West Green Street Presbyterian
Church, Nineteenth and Green streets,
there seems little doubt that the congre-
CATION will shortly offer the valuable
church property for sale.
One of the officials said yesterday that,
| because of the small congregation, due
largely to changed conditions Of the
neighborhood and the removal to the sub
urban sections of many of the old MEM
bers, the majority of the members seemed
to agree that the best thing that could
be done would be to disband and turn
the property over to the Philadelphia
Presbytery. In this event. he said. the
property would undoubtedly be offered
for sale In the near future.
FIFTY YEARS OLD.
The church edlfce is one of the most
stately in the city. and it's towering spire
is a Landmark in the neighborhood. For
almost half century it has housed the
congregation in their worship, and among
those who attended services there we're
many of the most distinguished citizens
of the country. The property is said to
be worth about $4,000.
Years ago the church was one of the
most 1ourishing in the presbytery. and
1t was not infrequent, according to old
churchmen. for every pew to be filed
both at the morning and evening serv-
Ices. Among It's pastors were men of
great eloquence and leaders of the de-
nomination. Now many of the older
members have passed away. the younger
generations have removed from the CEN
trail to the suburban districts and the
congregation has fallen off rapidly. Dur
ing the last two years there has been
no Sunday school connected with the
church. and. as one of the members de-
clared day or two ago, when there is
no Sunday school there is little hope
for the future of any congregation.
PASTOR COLFELT MUCH LIKED.
The Rev. DIR. Colfelt was one of the
most popular clergymen. in this city, and
for years, during his pastorate, even
though members had removed far from
the church, they would return to listen
to his sermons. And had he not re-
mained there il is probable that the con-
gregation would have disbanded before
this. DR.. Colfelt came TO the city first
as the pastor of the Oxford Presbyterian
Church, Broad and Oxford streets. and
for seven years he remained in that

NEED u. S. TO MAKE PEACE
IN EUROPE. DECLARES RABBI
DR.. Berkowitz Tells Congregation
Americas Help Is Wanted


That the services of this Government
will eventually be required to bring
about peace in Europe was the deca-
ration made this morning by the Rev.
DR. Henry Berkowitz in his sermon at
the Rodeph Shalom Synagogue, Broad
and Mount Vernon streets.
He began his sermon by referring to
the big battle between the allies and
Germans, and declared it to be the most
extensive and dreadful battle in the his
tory of warfare. Continuing. he said:
I'VE of the neutral nations stand by
with bated breath marking time as il
were. and awaiting the outcome Of the
conflict. The fate of nations hangs in
the balance. Whatever may be the issue,
ultimately the services of our Govern
ment will be required, even as our favor
is already being solicited by all the COM
batants. This is not a time for taking
sides. Americans, whatever may be
their European affilia ations, should real
ize the solemn duty which rests upon
our nation.
THE tone of the newspaper press has
rarely exhibited that calmness and mod
Grafton our President so earnestly en-
joined The pulpit and platform. the
schools and all other agencies for guild
ing and controlling public opinion are
charged with grave responsibility.
Unless partisanship be eliminated. we
shall forfeit that judicial open minded
ness, that spirit of fair play which alone
can qualify us at the right moment to
arbitrate the questions at issue and re-
store tranquility to a distracted world"

SUMMER WORK FOR CHURCH
Gratifying Results at West Branch
of the Y. M. c. A.

That it is possible to continue religious
work In the summer through cooperative
methods has been demonstrated during
the last few months by the results of
union meetings held by chapters of the
brotherhood of Andrew and Philip in
West Philadelphia, and the West Branch
Young Mems Christian Association. The
meetings started on July and are TO
end tomorrow, although it had been the
original intention to close them before
that date. The change in closing was
made, however, at the request of sew
eral churches, which had not taken up
the plan in the beginning and desired to
have their chapters represented in the
work after they found out how success
full 1t was proving,
During the warm summer afternoons,
when there was little religious activity,
the Y. NJ. c. A. workers and those of the
Brotherhood opened services in the asso-
citation lobby at 4 o'clock each Sunday
and held a brief service of preparation.
and afterwsrd open-air services were
conducted. The reports show that the at
tendance at II meetings was l744 persons.
that six denominations participated in
the work and that II laymen and II cler-
gymen addressed the meetings. But best

charge. For years he was pastor of the
old First Presbyterian Church, Washing
ton Square, and there he spoke to con-
gregations that included men and women
from every corner of the globe. He had
been with the West Green Street Church
since 1909. and even in the last few years
when he was older than many men in
the pastoral work, he had large con-
gregations.
The West Green Street Church was
organized as the Alexander Presby-
terian Church by a committee of pres
bytery on Sunday. March 16. 1858. as the
outgrowth of a meeting of men in the
home of the Rev. Dr. William e.
schenck. Eighteenth and Green streets.
This meeting named a committee to con-
slider the matter on January 3. 1885, and
the first worship was held In an empty
storeroom at Seventeenth and Mount
Vernon streets. The Rev. DR.. Alfred
Nevin preached the first sermon.
DR.. NEVIN FIRST PASTOR.
Very soon afterwards the present site
was obtained, and on Sunday, April II,
the same year. the congregation took
possession of a temporary structure at
10Th and Green streets, which was used
until the handsome new edifce was built.
The Rev. DR.. Alfred Nevin became the
first pastor, and was installed as such
on April IS Of the year 1t was organized.
During the next three years he stirred
UP much enthusiasm, and when. on
October 81, 1861, the Rev. DR.. T. NJ. Cum
ningham succeeded him, he found little
difficulty in getting support for the erec-
tion of the new church. Within n few
years he had the pleasure of seeing the
spire of the big edifice rise. and in July.
1869, he retired and the Rev. George F.
Cain took charge.
The original name given the church,
THE Alexander Presbyterian Church."
was chosen in memory of the Rev DR..
Archibald Alexander, the first professor
in Princeton Theological Seminary. In
the early 90s the name was changed to
the West Green Street Presbyterian
Church.
A congregational meeting will he held
within the next month, when definite
action will be taken in the matter of
disbanding and permittig the Presbytery
to take charge of the property.

THE REV. DR.. JARVIS

by Evangelistic Outlook Of

The Rev. DR.. Robert F.. L. Jarvis. who
leaves the pastorate of the strong Beth
any Presbyterian Church. 22d and Balm
bridge streets, to take charge of the evan
gelistc work of the Stony Brook Assem-
bly,, has expressed regret at leaving this
city, but in his answer to the call extended
him in which he accepts the new work
he makes plain that he feels it duty
and privilege TO preach the old-time evan
gelistic sermons such as the Assembly's
platform stands for.
That the work Doctor Jarvis Is to un-
dertake for the Stony Brook Assembly
will be successful is indicated by a state
ment included in the announcement OF
Doctor Jarvis acceptance in the Brooklyn
Eag which says:
The Stony Brook Assembly has in its
directorate some of the strongest men
in the Presbyterian Church, and their in
dorsement and support of this evangelistic
movement are guaranty of it's sanity and
aggressiveness. The president of the
Assembly Is the Rev. DR.. John F. Car
son, eX-moderator of the General Assem-
bly,. Among the directors is the Rev,
DR.. Maitland Alexander, moderator of
the General Assembly"
In accepting the call Doctor Jarvis
wrote in part as follows:
II am the more inclined to accept this
call because I find myself in perfect
harmony with the platform of the stony
Brook Assembly. I am so constituted
that must believe what preach-be-
lieve it intensely and deeply.
II need not remind you that the con-
Nincing appeals to the world of today
are by ministers who hold to the faith
of our fathers and believe still that the
old paths lead up to the throne of grace,
as they ever have done. hold TO the
Word of God as the standard of all

GOD KNOWS

Only God knows the trials that we bear,
The weary longings for a different fate,
The daily struggle and the anxious care;
He knows. and can wait!
Only God knows how vain our efforts seem,
How oft we sink discouraged by the way,
When heaven and earth seem but an empty
dream
He knows, and we can pray.
Only God knows what future years may bring
The trouble or the JOY within our scope.
II We shall walk in grief, or happy sing;
He knows, and we hope!
Only God knows! We have want beside:
our Father watches DER US from above:
We feel our weakness but his hand will guide
He knows, and He Is love.
