THIRD SOCIALIST SERMON.
Rev. James S. Montgomery breaches
About the Common People.

Only few chapters in the Bible are
given over to Il discussion of how God
made the world and how to get into
heaven, whereas all the rest are de-
voted to the theme of how to get
through the world properly. This was
pointed out by Rev. James Shera
Montgomery, pastor of Metropolitan
NJ. L. Church, in his sermon last cven-
ing, the third Of his series of five So
cialistic lecture e-sermons, with the sub
ject, The Power and Glory of the
Common People"
The church dulls her note" he said,
when she keeps her faith just for the
chancel. Her prayers must be crystal
lized into deeds; she must bare her
breast to the throbbing heart of the
common people and, with warm sym
pathizing soul, realize her kinsIip to
the common veal. When personal and
profound sympathy goes out from pew
and pulpit for the masses, then it is
that the church blesses like holy in
cenSe.'

Mr.. Knowitall

The man who knows he's al
ways right, that what he says is
final-upon his ffame men long
to light, and jar his column spinal.
No matter what the theme may
be, that we NAV be discussing,
Il know the facts, by James,
says he, so quit your foolish
fussing. Just listen to your uncle
tell the truth of all such matters,
and you'll be doing wisely well, !
thus YEARLY he chatters. What
others say is merely blow; their
minds are blank and stranded; he
talks OF Facts and Truths as
though he had them bought and
branded. You start to talk about
the war; old knowitall gets busy:
Il know Just what they're fight
ing for-your statements all are
dizzy. l have the Facts, I'm in
the swim, and ! will put you
wiser; my brothers uncle's cousin
Jim is hostler to the kaiser; he's
next to all that's going on. and
tells me OF the doings" SO he
maintains. till day is gone, his
endless linen chewings. He's al
ways loaded with the Facts, while
others deal in fiction; he shoots
them forth in cataracts through
out his jurisdiction.

TWILIGHT SLEEP METHOD
ILLUSTRATED BY FILMS
DR.. Schlossingk Lectures With Mo-
ton Pictures at the National
Press Club.

Motion pictures of the twilight
sleep" method of caring for mothers
were shown for the first time in the
worlds history at the National Press
Club last night before an audience of
physicians and layman members of the
club. The films were taken less than
two weeks ago In Brooklyn at the ad-
vent into this world of a fine boy Of
ten and 4 half pounds.
The physician shown in the picture
was DIR. Kurt E. Schlossingk, who was
also present at the presentation of the
picture at the Press Club. He was as
sociated for several years with Prof.
Konig and Prof. Gauss of Frciburg,
Germany. the pioneers and discoverers
of the twilight sleep methods. He
told members of the club he had at
tended 500 twilight sleep births since
that the percentage of success was the
same in the new method as in the or
dinary.
DR.. Schlossingk Talks.
Before the pictures were shown DR..
Schlossingk delivered an address. said
to be the first one of it's kind before
a lay audience. He said the method is
not new, as it has been successfully
used in Freiburg for eight years and
Is in use in nearly all German hos
pitfalls, and that over 1000 children in
the United States have been born under
twilight sleep.
He said. in part:
DO not think that we claim twilight
sleep brings bigger babies, brighter
babies or better babies. We say that
twilight ba bies are just as big. Just as
bright and just as fine in every way as
babies born In the old way. Do not
eliminates
danger, for we claim only that twi-
light is no more dangerous than births
without 1t. We do not claim that twi-
light eliminates pain. We can prove
that twilight obliterates from the
mothers mind all memory of pain.
Death Percentage Equal.
The percentage Of babies that die
within six days after birth without
twilight is two and one-tenth. The
percentage Of deaths within six days
after births with twilight is the same.
The mother who takes twilight in
Freiburg is allowed to leave the bed
twenty-four hours after the birth of
the baby and may walk up stairs five
days later. In six or seven days she
may leave the hospital and go home.
The mother who does not take twi-
light generally remains i'll bed a week,
ton days or two weeks.
Twilight sleep babies are born
every few days at Governors. Harlem.

War, Foe of Democracy.

War, he asserted, is the foe of de-
nocracy, and the spread of true de-
mocracy, he asserted, means the end of
wars.
THE peace movement" he declares,
does not, has not and cannot mean i'm
mediate disarmament. For the United
States to disarm at this time would
mean to place the country in the
boob class. and the boob nation or
individual always gets kicked sooner
OF later. For one nation to disarm at
this time would mean national suicide
The speaker asserted that democracy
as doctrine is being assailed with
every sword thrust, every rifle shot
and every cannon shell of the European
war, because, he said. war, whether
necessary or not, means the trampling
under foot of every ideal of true
democracy

her homeward-bound voyage saturday

Just after the little vessel had passed
through Hampton roads and pointed
her prov up the bay, according to
those on board, her engines began to
work badly. There were several blow
outs of gaskets, and with no facilities
for putting them back, a full head of
steam could not be kept on. The naval
militia engineers tried to remedy the
trouble, only to have their work blown
out again and again.

Even with engines working good. the
little vessel had all she could do to
steam northward with the head on

The trouble became so serious when

Owing to the leaking of steam it be-
came necessary to turn off heating
steam from the living compartments
of the vessel. and it was necessary for
the militiamen to wrap themselves up
in additional clothing.
