Pastor of First Methodist Episcopal Church Deliv- CTS Interesting Talk Be fore Audience of Over 800 in Y. NJ. C. A.
DURING UNION
 CHURCH SERVICES
Calls Attention to the Folly of Militarism, Refers to War as "Cancer of Ma tiOns," and Says Europe on Way to Pauperism

Before an audience of upward of 500. gathered in the Y. NJ. C. A sta dium last evening for the purpose of holding union church services. Dr Ray (. Harker, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, delivered one of the most striking sermons heard in this city in many days Dr. Harker took for his subject A Pro- gram of Peace and presented facts and suggestions dealing with the condition of almost world war in a manner tha: held his audience throughout. His address was so good that it is presented herewith in full:
 We live in a restless world. Hu- man hearts are feverish. There is tumult, and strife. and battle shock The sob of hemisphere is ir our ears. The thought of the race is en- crossed by world war. Armies of men and the gigantic enginery of death are in motion. and all on such colossal scale as to chill the heart and stagger world
 Note the folly of militarism War is called the cancer or nations" Jefferson chara oterized war as the greatest scourge of mankind"
 Amos R. Wells recipe for war shows the folly of an appeal to arms. He says. Take a wrong. and keeP it till r is thoroughly rotten. smelling to heaven Take ako an arm fst;er ed by high taxes to ;i.e bursting point. Add q nav. simi- larly prepared.

Coming generations will stag ger under the load Even now it is said that in some countries c'everv laborer carries a soldier on his back. According to Starr Jordan. the yearly expenses of our American navy ex- ceed the endowment revenues of all the universities of the world
 It is estimated that armed peace before this war began cost ten mill ion dollars per day. About thirty per cent of the revenues of nations have been going to the maintenance of fleets and forts and armies even in the days of peace

Then there is the loss of life. Wo have in this present holocaust of Europe not simply the loss of count less millions of money. but vast ar mics of men are turned away from the happy pursuits of peace. The wreck of homes and loss of life is appalling. Myriads of families are reduced to only a shred of their former happiness and beauty. It seems like a reversion to barbarism.
 Picked men are sent to the field The best brain and hrawn of the nations are being sacrificed. Early in the war over 3 thousand oxford undergraduates had enlisted Harold Begbie of London says We shall destroy utterly those splendid burn ing spirits reaching out To enlighten our darkness our fathers destroyed those strange and valuable creatures whom they called witches We are destroying the brightest of our an gels
 Because of this war. how many a carpenters hammer will never swing how many forge will never glow. how man va weavers shuttle will never hum how many a field will never be titled, how many an artist will never paint a picture. how many sculptor will never lift d chisel. how many a poet will never sing, how many a pulpit WiH never ring out with its sacred eloquence,
 When the poet Gray visited the country churchyard and looked upon the tombs of those who had trod the pavement Of death he said

 The pathetic thing was that power had been lodged in human heart and brain and had never been given a chance to express itself Carlyl said; For man to die who might have been wise and was not: this l call a tragedy." That thought damns this war that is sending myriads of undeveloped lives into eternity
 And we have in this war not only loss of money. and loss of life. but there is also q harvest of hatred Jealousy. envy. strife, bitterness. aI- together a viprous brood, are beinf engendered in this conflict While we are hoping that the ideals of Christ may grip the heart of the race,

As He Returns from Fray
Police Forced to Clear
Passage for Jess as

Havana Streets.

Havana, April 5.-This city was de-
serted during the battle, q half-holiday
having been declared informally. To-
night, however, the streets are ab.aZe
with lights, and the Cubans are cele-
bratlug Wizards victory.
Several thousands of them blocked
the plaza in front Of Wizards quar-
tiers at the hotel when the new cham
plon returned triumphant from he
battle. The police had to clear pas
sage through the cheering crowd Of
men and women. Willard was wearing
the same old sweat~r, blue trousers
and felt hat which had become famil-
lar through his training work on the
road.
The demonstration was something
new 20 Willard, who had been going
quietly about the streets for the last
two weeks, and he grlnned like an en-
barrassed schOolDOy. The giant was
slapped and mauled and pelted with
flowers as, with his training partners,
he showed his way through the throngs
Once in his own room he was his quiet
self again, chatting Informally as if he
had lust returned from a training bout
instead Of victor in a championship
battle.
willard said that none of Johnson's
blows hurt more than mOmentar.ly, eX-
ccpt a slash over the heart about the
twentieth round, which made him gasp
for breath during the balance of the
round He declared he was not sore
about the body, but one Of the toes
Of his left foot was slightly sprained
and swollen from a twist. Johnson must
have known this, for constantly during
the fight he kept extending his left
foot until he could just press down on
Wizards left toes.
The new champion said tonight: 81

the future. | am obligated to the syn
dicatc which promoted the fight, and
would like to rest at home after an
