thousands of children In this country
at work when they should be at school
and at play, Is blot on our civiliza-
ton" said the Rev. Eugene r. Ship
pen. In the First Unitarian church,
Sunday morning, In the course OF a
service that was dedicated to the dis
cussion OF the child labor problem. It's
evils and it's remedies. THE re-
forms" said Mr.. Shipper, wait for
tie creation of social conscience and
the decay of the old Individual barbar-
ism. e The ethical mind. the Christian
heart, in the last analysis must be de-
pended upon to bring the kingdom OF
God to earth"
THE wise fool" was defined by the
Rev. Howard A. Field in Simpson
Methodist church, as the man who
he stand alone"
THAT man Is wise man and not
a fool who plans for tomorrow as
well as today" said Mr.. Field. The
man who from his earnings of today
saves something for tomorrow's hour
OF want Is wise. The man who In the
against the hour Of sickness is not
a fool, but a wise man. And the one
who In the life that is plans for the
life that is to come Is the wisest or
all wise men,"
Continuing his sermonsSo ON IF Jesus
should visit Detroit" the Rev. George
Edgar Cullen. In the West Grand-blvd.
Methodist church said that IF Jesus
should visit the Detroit public schools.
amt ng other things. He would en-
,phssize the moral obligations OF the
teacher toward the child"
II suspect Jesus would be as vital
ly interested in the public schools OF
Detroit as He would be In its Sunday
schools" continued the speaker. He
might be more interested in the pub
lie schools, for the issue there is
greater and more vitality concerns the
republic of God. Undoubtedly there
must come day when the state Will
recognize as part OF it's duty the
moral instruction OF Its youth. Our
first president warned us that morals
and religion can not be separated
without great danger to the life Of
any nation"
Perfection Is not an attainment
but process" said the Rev. Chester
b. Emerson. in the North Woodward
Congregational church. 'The earth
and the man are alike and within
each there Is a creative impulse and
energy forever at work"
Wisdom is but common sense In
an uncommon degree" the Rev. Ed
ward H. Pence told his congregation
IN the Fort-st. Presbyterian church.
Every man has an apprehension Of
destiny. Only the Christian has 1t
wrought into terms and value OF real
izat.on."
Addressing the Business Mems class
of the First Congregational church,
Sunday noon, DR.. Charles K. Chadsey,
superintendent of public schools, said
that "half the children in Detroit
have no playground but the street and
that many streets are more dangerous
than q railroad track" "If we could
set apart during certain hours OF the
day, portions Of the streets at points
available to our children for play
grounds 1t would greatly reduce the
number of accidents" DR.. Chadsey de-
clared. The Mems club will give 20
pairs OF blankets to the Van Leuven
Hospital School for Crippled Children
and 20 pairs to the Children's Free
hospital.
In sermon on The picture drama
OF the world" In Peoples chapel, Pas
tor Lee s. Wheeler said that the mill
Itary kingdoms Of this world have
nearly filed the cup OF their iniquity
and the period of their history. He
declared that Eve do not have to wait
until the end of the present war to
know that none OF the nations in
volved can become so dominant as to
destroy the integrity of the others.
and that no scheme of a united Eu-
rope either by might or by confed-
eracy will succeed. There Is one va
cant throne In this world, and that
h the throne OF David. and the only
heir is Christ"
