nine FALSE GODS
FLAYED BY BRYAN
Worst of Them Is Drink. Says Secre-
tay. Speaking at Eastern
Presbyterian Church.

There are nine false gods to whom a
man is apt to pay allegiance today. and
the worst of the nine is the god of drink.
said Secretary Of State Bryan last night
in a sermon at the exercises commcm-
Grating the fortieth anniversary of East
ern Presbyterian Church. Sixth and e
streets northeast
Secretary Bryan chose as his text the
first Commandment. Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me-" and he called
this commandment the greatest .of the
ten.
Some think the second commandment,
Love thy neighbor as theysef' is the
greatest, but man cannot understand
what neishbor means or what brotheriy
love means until he learns what love of
God means" said Secretary Bryan.
The nine gods that Mr.. Bryan assailed
were the gods Of gold. fashion. fame.
ease. intellectually. travel. chance, pas
sion. and the ''old bleary-eyed god.
drink" To worship any one of the nine
is to worship self. and selfishness or self
worship is what comes today between
man and his Maker. said Mr.. Bryan.
The anniversary exercises were begun
in the morning with a Sunday school
birthday celebration" At the IL o'clock
services the pastor. Rev. Alfred E. Bar
rows, gave a sermon on These Forty
Years" Secretary Bryan was the only
speaker at the evening services.
The celebration will be continued
throughout the week Tonight will be
'fraternal night" and greetings will be
given Rev. Mr.. Barrows by a number OF
pastors. Among those who will speak
are Revs. John Compton Ball. George A.
Miller. S. T. Nicholas. Clarence A. Vim
cent. Randolph II. McKim, and James
Shera Montgomery.
