RACIAL ANTTPATHIES
THEME OF LIBERALS
Sunday Schools Accentuate
Race Hatred" Declares Prof.
Daniel Evans.

"The Sunday schools today accentuate
race hatred between the Jews and the
Christians in the way they teach the
story of the Crucihxion."
Professor Daniel Evans, of Andover
Theological Seminary, Cambridge, Mass,
made this statement today in an address
before the Congress OF the National Fed
Grafton of Religious Liberals in session
at the Friends Meeting House, 18th and
Race streets.
Professor Evans was discussing the his
tortcal aspect of race antipathy. He told
a story of little girl who began to hate
Jewish boy after she heard of the
crucihxion. Professor Evans then went
on to say that no race had a monopoly of
good qualities, and asserted science
proved that no one race is inferior to an
other.
Race antipathy." he said, sis an organic
animal level. and is not on distinctive
rational human level. War and suspicion
are life's first business on this lower
level
The public schools came in for severe
criticism from Prof Franz Boas, of Co
lumbia University. who said: "The public
schools accentuate race and national
prejudice and place an emphasis on emo
tional values. One of the first things
to be done to bring about friendship and
sympathy between races and nations Is
TO modify the teaching of tins schools"
In speaking on Race Antipathies From
a Scientific Standpoint ne said: "The
great nations of Europe were compelled
by circumstances and impelled BY emo
tion 70 take certain action which they
thought inevitable
AFTER taking such actions they stopped
and considered what they had done. They
explained their own deeds to their own
satisfaction. We have similar condi-
tion here in politics. A man Is a Republi-
can or a Democrat because his father
was one.
'If only the nations would realize that
there is national feeling and spirit
that 1t is futile II not criminal to impose
the feelings Of one nation on the other,
then great barrier would be removed
from the path OF international friend
ship"
The meeting is the ffth since Sunday
IN connection with the Congress of the
National Federation OF Religious Liberals,
held for the purpose of promoting reIig-
ious life by united testimony for sim
eerity freedom and progress in religion,
by social service ana a fellowship OF the
spirit beyond the lines OF sect and creed.

"THE CHRISTIAN CREDENTIALS
The Rev. I. Chantry Hoffman breaches
at Old st. Johns.

At the MONDAY Lenten service at Ola
ST. Johns Lutheran Church today the
Rev. I. Chanty Hoffman preached on
"The Christian Credentials" His theme
was that the world had every right to
question. the claims of Christianity and
that the church Is only too Wiling that
unbelievers should examine the evidence
It offers.
The Christian Credentials" Doctor
Hoffman said have two -preachng
and practicing. Preaching. he argued,
contains that which God has been willing
to reveal of Himself. In the telling of
this story of Christ and His suffering all
followers of the Saviour can take part.
The preacher said:
"This is the preaching we are COM
manded to preach. This is foolishness to
the Greek and stumbling block to the
Jew. but to every one who believeth It
is the power of God unto salvation. The
Christian who presents his credentials Of
loyal allegiance to truth, that endurss
from generation to generation, Is the con
server of liberty and the confessor Of
love in and Through the Son of God.Y

OPPORTUNITY FOR GRACE
The Rev. John w. Walker Says II Is

"The rich may have the same oppor-

wise providence, IL they will give away
their riches" said the Rev. John w.
Walker in his Lenten sermon at Old
st. Peters Church, Sd and Pine streets,
at noon today.
Mr.. Walkers subject was opportunity
and its Importance in the sum of things
human. He said the whole problem of
the present life and that to come was a
matter of opportunity, and that once an
swered the solution is at hand.
This answer" the speaker said, will
settle every phase for all, rich or poor
Ill or we'll. We are created equal, and
therefore we ought to have equal chances
in this world. 1t is not knowledge or
wealth or position that will satisfy.
Equally important is the need for all
of us to learn to love. 1t seems to me
that the poor have the better opportunity
to live and love. But underneath all this
seeming is the basic fact that the rich
have the opportunity for a fullness Of
spiritual grace equal to that of the more
humble If they will but avail themselves
of it,

ject Of the sermon preached by the Rev
Floyd w. Tonlkins, rector of Holy Trim
ity Protestant Episcopal Church, 10Th
and Walnut streets. at the MONDAY serv-
Ice held at the Old ST. Paul's Church, Sd
street below Walnut street, today Doc
tor Tomkns said:
There are four lines along which we
may study faith, namely. the Bible, the
church and creeds, prayer and service.
II any one understands these he has
true understanding OF faith. Believing
in the Bible is of great Importance. Some
people do not believe in the Bible, and
for this reason get in trouble Other
people trust to themselves to find out
truth instead of relying on God. Unless
we go TO church we cannot have true
understanding of faith Many people do
not do anything for God, hence they do
not know truth"
The speaker explained that the real OBJ
ject of prayer is asking God to reveal to
us the truth.

GARRIcK THEATRE MEETING
Father ]. o. S. Huntington breaches
on Selfishness and Altruism.

Father j. o. S. Huntington, o. H. c.,
preached the Lenten sermon at the Gar
rick Theatre today. His subject, broadly
speaking, was selfshness and it's relation
to the inward and natural instinct of self
preservation. The theatre was filled to
overflowing.
Father Huntington said that the start
ing point to love is love of self. "This is
not a law of nature enjolned upon us,
but an instinct lodged within. 1t Is the
instinct of self-preservation. The first
impulse of a human being is to fly from
danger. 1t is our self-love that prompts
us to flight. The better part of our
natures would bid us stand steadfast. II
is the least worthy side of our natures
that runs away"
