PREACHER DENIES IMPLICIT
FAITH is PART OF RELIGION
Pleads for Deeper and More Spiritual
Conception Of God.

An implicit following OF creeds Is not
synonymous with profound faith In the
Divine, according 10 the Rev. William l..
Sullivan, of New York. who preached last
night at the First Unitarian Church, 22d
and Chestnut streets on THE Spiritual
Power of a Liberal Faith"
Mr., Sullivan also deplored the prac-
tice OF seeking fieshly representation OF
things holy. He answered the objection
often made TO such worship as he pro-
posed by declaring that II was not too
thin" but "too deep" He said in part:
God Is everywhere. He is within our
own souls And His power is as great
today as IL was at the time when He is
supposed to have spoken from Mount
Sinai.
TOO many religions give us the idea
that God did great things long time
ago. He Is performing marvellous works
before US now II we would only have
the eyes to see them We must not give
Him and His message geographical and
historical limits. We must not speak
OF His wondrous doing in the past tense,
as there Is a certain definitely discernible
tendency to do In some religions."
The Rev. Charles 10. ST. John. minister
OF the church, followed the Rev Mr. Sui
livan He gave the Unitarian conception
OF Christianity.

have the cross hanging on the walls OF
our church" he said, because that cross
symbollzes the undying eternal faith OF
every Unitarian. We recognize In Jesus

dared 10 be true TO His faith. Had He

Only Really Fine

Twenty or thirty years ago there came
upon the market tremendous flood of
cheap and ugly furniture. 1t was at the time
when great furniture mills were starting up
all over the country and machinery was fast
driving out the hand craftsman,
The first machinery makers of furniture
made it very badly. They were learning
new art, and their productions were fast
and crude.
Some of the mills are still going ahead
at it-slam, bang and hurrah! turning out
chair a minute almost and never caring how
bad it is so long as it will SELL
There was a time along about the
height of the cheap furniture craze when
we considered going out of the furniture
business because the goods available were
so p0or.
But we didn't go out; we went after the
manufacturers instead And soon we be-
gan to get better furniture; then better
