The Warrington pastors attended
Sundays Afternoon services in a body
and were given reserved seats near
Sundays rostrum, Sunday has been

night, but every seat in ten vast Taber-

81 Need Thee" They Sing.
| Just before the Billy Sunday special
reached Newark prayers were said by
the Revs. J. J. Muir. of Temple Bap-
fist Church: Joseph A. Kelly, Of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church. and CIar-

Here are parts of the sermon, THY
Kingdom Come" the text that the Wash
ington delegation heard Sunday preach
yesterday afternoon:
Safeguard on Cheats.
" Thy Kingdom Come means to have
| a part in the greatest business in which
men can be engaged. 1t means to go
into partnership with God in the work
of saving the world.
Thy Kingdom Come is a prayer that
cannot be made with both hands stuffed
| down into your pockets. We cannot

measures at the store: the load Of coal
he sends to you won't be half slate. He

measures you a piece of calico. 1t will
not take the pure food law to keep him
from putting chalk in the flour. sand in
the sugar brick dust in red pepper

from the new books or from the maya
zines. He will not try to please the
high-brows, and. in pleasing them. miss

of the Bible, and not reprint of the
latest novel with a text tackled on to it.

We say that they don't want God. They
do want God. They hate the shame. the
hyprocrisies the caricatures they find in
the church; they do not hate Jesus. They

Thy Kingdom Come means that We

of greater importance that men should
be saved than il is that people should

II say YOU are not giving God square
deal if you roll up to church in your
limousine, sweep down the aisles in your
$50 gowns with diamonds in your ears
as big as hickory nuts and drop quar-
ter in the collection plate. Give God
square deal: don't treat God on a lunch
