SERIES OF SERMONS
CONF: !: TO |! 4 CLOSE
Dr. Jones Speaks on the Claims Of
the Church on Christian
People.

DR. Ehie McCollum Jones complet-
ed her week of sermons at the Uni
versalist church Sunday night when
she spoke to q full house on the
claims Of the church on Christian
people. 1t was one; Of the finest SER
mons ever heard in the church and
held the audience In q grip Of inter-
est from first to last, was sparkling
with wit. keen in satire and full Of
thrusts that went bHneath the skin.
Preaching from the text, III We
love me, feed my sheep" she laid
bare the miserabls ,fallacies where
with men deceive themselves into be-
lieving the church has no claim up-
on them. One after another Of the
usual excuses for not supporting the
church we're dealt with and exposed.
Not being interested In the sermon,
finding the service formal or dull,
knowing as much ~ the preacher,
etc.. etc., all these were described
and all were pointed out as mean
ing in the long run that the man
who makes excuse is simply taking
the position, What will the church
do for me-"
But the Christian. she said, did
not approach the church in any such
attitude. He looks upon the church
as an agency through which to be
of service to the community and asks
himself, What can / do in the
church and through the church."
One can't assume an attitude of In
difference to an institution which
has done most to create our civiliza-
tion and which would leave the COM
munity in anarchy II it were remov-
ed. Every man is under moral obli-.
CATION to lend his influence to some
Christian church, whatever be his
opinions. The Christion will work
in the church whether it amuses and
entertains him or not. r5l

LITTLE |. | CHILD DIES
Of D|||P'TAERIA !
Four Year Old Son. Of M. and Mrs.
Charles lngert.on suocumb. to
/ Disease.

Raymond, the four year old SON
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ingertson,
suecunhed to the drsadad- diph-
theira Friday at O'Clock at their
home on Grove street after four
days illness. The child was taken
sick with throat trouble on Tuesday
but the parents, not realizing the
seriousness Of the malady. did not
call physician until Thursday
night at midnight. The doctor at
once saw the futility Of treatment
but used the anti-toxin to the limit.
1t proved too late, however. to save
the little ones life and attention
has been turned to the remaining
two sons and infant >daugh-
ter, who have been given the
toxin treatment as a preventative
The child was the youngest OF the
three sons Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ingert-
son and was the sunshine of the
home. The sympathy OF the entire
community is extended to the. par
ents in this trying time.
The funeral was held at $3.50
Saturday p. m. and on account of
the quarantine Of the home the SER
vices were private, with interment
in Graceland cemetery.

work infinitely stronger than this
war. Science, for example, knows no
racial prejudice. ii s
The greatest thing, In the world is
the spirit of fraternalism which says.
II am that mani ,Fraternities are
being organized everywhere. There
has never been an age with one or
two exceptions lin which there was
so much incipient fraternalism as
now. ,.$
We hear the question But how
can be a brother to men who are
not brothers to mey Each Of US Is
born short" as VIM. Hawley Smith
says. There are men so vain they
take oftense at the least thing. Men
who gossip and slandsr, poisoning the
life Of some other man.
How are we to build brotherhood
out OF this? There is book within
these walls, which has in the center Of
it three short words, Love your
enemies. The meaning OF 9 1raterh-
ity is the creating Of ,ligaments which
bind us together. Men we bind to
US with hoops OF steel, are going 70
continue to be bound to US even
though one OF them should die.
There is sentenc which says What
soever shall be bound on earth. shall
be bound in heaven" These were the
few beautiful words for those who had
lost. for time. their loved one.
Rev. Haywood closed with few
consoling words to those who had
been for time deprived Of their COM
panions and the services ended with
The closing ode by the lodge and au-
dience in unison, followed by the
benediction pronounced by Rev.
Arthur Metcalf.

Ten cents, one dime, is the cause
OF a suit instituted iii the Jefferson

claim that he protested at paying the

under the law, entitled to collect from
the corporation the penalty OF $500, in
such cases MADE and provided Also
