AN ALDERNANIN
SODOM,' SERMON
BY DR.. GOODELL
pastor of ST. Paul's, New York,
Draws Lessons of Mod
ern Import.

Or. Charles L. Goodell, of ST Pauis
Methodist Church. New York city,
stoke yesterday afternoon before
lsfge body Of men in the I. M. =
auditorium on AN Alderman IN
so6on.'. taking his text from the
Book of Genesis--"And Lot sat In
the gate of Sodom.'
Previous to becoming pastor OF st.
Paul's DR.. Goodell was pastor OF Cal
vary NJ. e. Church, of which DR.. Will
liam II. Morgan. formerly OF this
city, is now in charge. Mr.. Goodell
said in part;
eIn Oriental cities matters of civil
ana judicial Importance were settled
at the city's gate. There the judges
sat and there the fathers of the town
were gathered. So Judge that II Lot
sat at the gate of Sodom he was one
Of the aldermen of the ely.
'fThe record says Lot pitched his
tent toward Sodom.' If he had only
pltched it toward the west, toward
fha rugged hills where every morn
ing he could have seen the smoke
from Abraham's altar going up 70

outstretched hands supplicating Je-
hovah. It might have been different
with him. Every time Lot or his
children looked out of the door OF
thair black Bedonin tent they saw
The shameless orgies and unnamable
eycesses of Sodom. First they de-
tested them; then they endured them;
then they embraced them. One day
tho daughters said: 1t Is no place
cut here in a tent for those who
want to move in good society. Buy
US a corner lot in Sodom' so II was
that their father bought corner lot
IN Sodom and built upon 1t. Ana
then what happened to LOTT he diu
AS the Sodomites do.
II have been a pastor in New ! ork
long enough to have seen hundreds
Of men come to the city as Lot went
to Sodon. In the country they went
in humble ways. They filled their
place in the sanctuary; their voice
was heard in the prayer meetings;
their children were trained in the
sunday school and they themselves
we're officers or teachers there. But
God prospered them. Their store OF
worldly goods increased and the wife
said one day, Don't you think, John,
we could afford to take the children
10 the city ana give liitll thS SoStni
advantages and business opportuni-
ties which the city affords%
II saw them come, and what story
could unfold. | saw the fires die
out upon their affairs. saw them
neglect the church of God and grow
cold to all spiritual interests. I saw
their daughters married to men
shameless in their life and carrying
The nightkeys of more than one home
in their pocket. | saw their sons
standing in the way OF sinners, sit
fing in the seat of the scornful, and
at last running themselves and send
ing their parents back into the coun-
try to begin life in their old age
without q dollar. or to drop into the
grave of the broken-hearted.
let every youth remember that sin
always bears the seed of its own
undoing in its heart. Sin is always
moral suicide. and the full morgues
m every city remind us that sin very
often brings physical suicide"

their departure, it is to be hoped, pre-
sages many other departures.
The administration has gotten no.
where with its policy of fiabby concili-
alton. 1t could not win a disavowal of
the Lusitania crime by ignoring the
fragrant offences here of Germany s
diplomatic representatives. 1t has
been forced to recognize that Ger
many is not to be brought to account
by polite notes or by still potter
blindness to the activities of Teuton
plotters against our peace and safety.
1t is time that the administration
got back on the right track. German
determination must be met by Ameri-
can determination. 1t is essential to
make a thorough house-cleaning of
the alien conspirators who have been
operating here with so free hand.
Let them all go! When Berlin discov-
ers that the United States means busi-
ness it may begin to think seriously of
making atonement for the Lusitania
horror.

FIGHTING HAY FEVER
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

TROM the councils of the Amer
lean Hay Fever Association
comes word that the ragweed
must so. BY long experiment and
study, it has been determined that
the two American species of ragweed
are responsible for S5 per cent. of all
the hay fever in the United States.
Whenever you hear a sneeze you may
be sure there is a ragweed just one
jump away. Wherefore, the sneezers
of the nation are urged to rise up and
smite the ragweed with fire and scythe
until it perishes off the face of the
earth.
Winter might seem an inappro-
pirate time to campaign against hay
fever, but this is the one season in the
year when all the members of all the
hay fever associations are able to
think uninterruptedly and articulate
intelligently; therefore, 1t is meet that
every hay fever victim should read
this now and plan a strong campaign
against his great natural enemy, the
American ragweed.
Makes Life Miserable
Hay fever is a humorous subject
only to those who are absolutely i'm
mune. 1t does not kill. 1t seldom in
capacitates, but it makes life one
long. uncertain misery. Racked by
terrific sneezes, blinded by unexpected
tears, snuflling and inarticulate the
legions of the hay fever victims OF
America wander over the earth, seek
ing the boon of the place where the
ragweed is not.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-12-07
By BRIGGS

Now they are confident that they
have found the key to relief. One
authority announces that if the cause
OF hay fever had been understood ten
years ago. none of it would exist to-
day. In New Orleans the Hay Fever
prevention Association claims to have
already greatly reduced the suffering
of the five thousand hay fever vic
tins that are estimated to live in that
city. The municipal government de-
tailed twenty convicts to chop down
all the ragweed in New Orleans. Pic
lures of the plant and instructions
how to destroy it were circulated
throughout the city. Vacant lots We're
cleared of weeds. AS result, hay
fever disappeared several weeks earlier
this year than ever before.
To realize how serious a thing hay
fever is TO its victims one has but to
read the experience Department in
the booklet published by the Hay
Fever Association of the United
States. This organization holds con-
Vention every year and devotes its
time to the search for remedies and
for spots that are immune. The diff
ficulty seems to be that a place where
one hay fever patient will suffer not
at all, affords absolutely no relief to
another. Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania,
according to the hay fever leaflet, was
long considered an immune spot, un-
til certain lot owners took to culti-
waiting goldenrod. Whereupon, the
insidious sneeZe appeared in the city
and the hay fever patients departed
as a single man.

PLACING TIE sTATUARY

HINDING a proper location for the
II Hershey statuary has revived to
some extent the discussion of the
Barnard statuary at the Capitol.
Philadelphia newspaper seems to
think that Harrisburg was responsible
for the controversy over the nude
figures of the famous sculptor and
that this city forced the draping of
he figures.
Harrisburg may have had something
% do with that discussion, but it will
be recalled that there was a general
protest which led to changes by the
sculptor after the statuary was in
place.
More important than the criticism
of the nude figures was the wider and
more serious criticism of the location
of the statuary. 1t is now conceded
that a serious mistake was made
when these marble groups were placed
at the entrance TO the Capitol They
have always been out of harmony with
the granite structure and as the years
go on the incongruity becomes more
striking. It is believed that in the
reconstruction of the Capitol grounds
and the general revision of the land
scape treatment some other place will
be found for these figures.
Let us hope that similar mistake
is not made in the selection of rest
ing place for the much discussed
Donate group, 1.-THE Dance of Eternal
Spring"

THE CITY PARKS

A S his term draws to a close even
n those who opposed his re-elec-
ton as a member of the City
Council are beginning to realize how
much was accomplished by City Com
missioner Taylor in a comparatively
brief period. In addition to the great
Improvement of the River Front he
has practically completed the Park
way from Cameron Extension through
Paxtang to Reservoir Park. This has
involved much negotiation and the
cult, owing to the outcropping of stone
on the line of the Parkway.
There is still much to be done in the
development of the park areas and it
is expected that the budget will give
Commissioner Taylor's successor suffi-
cient funds to carry forward the
necessary work and provide for proper
maintenance. Since the completion
of the Front Steps at Market street
considerable landscape treatment will
be necessary between the Market and
Walnut street bridges. especially in
the reduction of the old roadway to
. a proper path, and the planting of
shrubbery and vines on the slope. One
of the last pieces of good work in
the Department of Parks this year
was the making of the opening in
the concrete around the two bridges
for the planting of vines that will
cover the unsightly abutments.
1t is expected also that the en-
gineers OF the Department will give
proper lines for the filing of the en-
bankment from Maclay street north
ward so that the slope may be treated
and be in shape for the construction
of steps and a wall in the future.
There is also much planting yet to be
done and as there is abundant mate
rial in the city nursery this work
will go forward with the opening of
Spring.

FOREIGN PLOTTERS MUST GO
New York Tribune

This policy of interference with
American interests has been based on
the notion, exploited even before the
war by General Won Bernhardi, that
the political influence of Americans of
German descent would be powerful
enough to compel the American gov
ernment to wink at German agrees
sions. There was some excuse for this
theory, since the German government IS
experience with an administration
which had intimated both publicly and
privately that it was too proud to
fight and which had let reparation
for the Lustania murders wait for
more than seven months, undoubtedly
contributed to Berlin's belief that
German conspiracies here would not
be inquired into with inconvenient dill
gence.
But at last we have reached the
point at which patience has ceased to
appeal even to a weak-kneed and
phrase-loving administration. It is
announced from Washington that the
State Department put off asking for
the recall of Captains Boy Ed and Won
Papen until it learned definitely that
Germany did not intend to disavow the
Lusitania massacre. So long as the
issue was in doubt Germany's sensi-
bilities were not to be ruffied by the
expulsion of any of her propagandists
in this country. But that last delicate
concession was offered in vain. Boy
Ed and Won Papen have to go, and

MIR. srANrNI. PRESIDENT

DY q decisive vote the school board
ID last night elected A. Carson
Stamm president for the COM
ing year. Mr.. Stamm brings to the
services OF the board a trained legal
mind, experience in school affairs,
a wide acquaintance with the educa-
tional needs of the city and a broad
vision. He was elected a director on
all three tickets presented for the con-
sideration of the voters at the last
election and. without opposition. His
choice as president removes the board
from all suspicion of political motives
in its activities. Let us hear no more

influence. Let everybody get behind
the board and give it the support il
must have if it is to do effective
work.
