MAKING LIGHT Of
THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
DR.. Randolph Condemns
Practice in Sermon on "Men
Who Miss the Mark"
TELLS CHRISTIANS TO
HAVE THEIR ANSWER

In Grace N. y. Church last evening,
Or. Herbert f. Randolph preached the
fifth sermon in the series on Men
Who Miss The Mark" Taking for
his text st. Matthew %: 5. he de-
scribed the man who makes light OF
religion.
'In the literary world we have many
examples Of this mood OF levity,' said
Dr. Randolph. Ernest Renan, in
France, was long a representative Of
this bantering spirit. He calls re-
igion the romance Of the infinite God,
Christ. the Holy Spirit, soul, con-
science. eternity. heaven. hell, are
thrilling episodes in a gigantic fic-
ion, shadows which come and so at
the beck OF priestly magicians' The
same spirit appears when Lecky calls
It the romance of the poor This spirit
1f levity is most irrational. How pro-
foundly serious is Jesus Christ in all
His utterances. Sin is no matter of
unconcern. Is il nothing TO you, all
We that pass by? This mood OF the
modern man is a guilty mood. We
are not acquitted when we have dis
missed Christ with a polite bow. lie
cannot be so gotten rid OF. He says
OF these. None Of these shall taste OF
MY supper. But worse than this, the
mood Of levity is utterly hopeless. The
frivolous are the last to be reached
Nowhere does the Gospel fail so COM

light Of it, Let me oppose II and
there is some hope of overcoming
their opposition; let men doubt 1t. and
there is hope Of revolving theii
doubts: let men be ignorant Of it, and
they can be taught its truth; but. how
much hope is there for the man who
SCOTS at it. or. simply ignores the
truth? This. then. is the great and
important truth For a man of earnest
spirit there is always hope, but fol
the man who iests at sacred things

There are signs that the great a has entered its third phase, that

England a year ago depending OF a volunteer army unon labor
dominated workingmen, has adopted consumption and is forcing all avail
able men into the ranks and the government dominates the industries of

Austria has summoned lei of S. to assist in the garrison work in
order to free younger men for actual field service and boys of Is are
called to the colos.
Germany is calling o her last line of reserves and in addition is al
legged to have demanded that Bulgaria and Turkey send troops to the
front.
At the request of England her ancient ally, Portugal has been drawn
into the var and Russia has bribed and forced Runania to declare her
support for the Allies. 1t is likely that she will actively enter the war in
the next few weeks.
All these signs indicate that the determination Of the issue is APP

the fall may not be fulfilled. In fact, unless some unforeseen weakness
develops somewhere it is not likely that any of the powers can be beaten
this summer or fall.
But it is certain that the point Of exhaustion is drawing and a

WHY TAFT OPPOSED BRANDEIs

Regarding the fight against Louis D. Brandeis, whom President Will
on named for the Supreme court, a writer in the Stockton Record gives
the following as some of the reasons:
The case of Louis d. Brandeis has been helped rather than hurt by
the TaftRoot protest. Root a a member of the Joint Congressional
committee which sat to try the BaInger as and wroked hard to save
Taft from the exposure which Brandeis at that time drove to a uccess-
full conclusion.
protest.
Taft has a personal grievance against Brandeis. AS president and
sponsor for Balinger, he a the real defendant in the Baringer- Pinchot
investigation. That guilty a the verdict rendered by the public a
shown first by the fact that the Republican majority overturned il
the house in the middle on the Taft administration, forcing Balhnger t.
resign rather than face threatened Impeachment charges, and later the
verdict a driven home by the eight electoral votes of Vermont and
Utah received by Taft at the following election.
Taft and Root might have forgiven Brandeis for helping Pinchot
save the pubhc's coal lands in Alaska, and the power sites which Balm
ger wanted to restoret to entry; what they do OF forgive was the re
Taft and Attorney General Wickersham had been parties to the "a
ufacture of evidence calculated to misiead the public and the committee
the preparation OF a document which never had existed, but which the
president had claimed as the basis of his action in "eNonerating' Secre-
tay Baringer. This "a the famous "Wickersham summary" of evidence
in the Balinger case, which, when it became evident that congress would
investigate the case, ws written by Attorney General Wickersham soma
time in November o December, 1909, and dated back to September II,
1909, by Taits orders
Brandeis not only exposed this piece of deception, but also forced
the production of that other famous document, the "Lawler memoran-
dunn" prepared by Oscar w. LAWYER, a subordinate of Balinger, in the
interior department., and used by Taft in making up his letter generating
BalGnger. 1t a thus proved that Taft. instead OF giving judicial con-
to prepare al opinion of Ba1ingers conduct The publication of these
facts left Taft in such a position before the public that he has never been
able to forgive Brandeis for the exposure. For these reasons, the senate
is expected to give little weight to the ex-presdents opinion. 1t is
evidently Taft and Root who lack the judicial temperament not
Brandes.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than to feel that you cannot

greediy devour he contents. That it is none OF his business does not
phase Snoopy"
You need never fear that he will wea the varnsh off your front
stairs. He goes the back way when he n, and always seems to feel
his way along. He has the advantage over your noisy friends in one
way, but his sly ways get on your nerves worse than those of the m
who roughly slaps you IN the back.
When you find a person with al eager, inquishve look, who seems
to walk always as if he yer treading OIL eggs, you have met a "snooper,'
and you would better lock up anything you do not want medd1ed with.
He does not ask information directly; he beats around the bush,
hens and haws, and tries to worm it ut of you.
You are not untrue to your friends, and it does not prove that your
life contains a deep, dark secret, when you keep a few things to your.
self. If necessary, have fewer friends. Give this pest a wide berth.

GREATEST sroREHoUsE OF GOLD

There is more gold on deposit in the Denver mint than in any one
building in the world today The stored gold and silver produced by
western mines amounts to SAYS 100000 1t present, $07 100000 OF which is
in gold. according to Superintendent Thomas Annear.
In spite of the fact that $5NWO0O was withdrawn early in August,
1915, and shipped east, the present figure as a result of the heavy out
put of the mines, is within $l5WOON of the largest amount the mint eve7
contained.
Tons OF gold have been coming into the United States to establish
foreign credits for the purchase of war munitions, supplies, etc, and tine
major part of this will ultimately be stored in the Denver mint.

"England," he said, "under no cir

in the Baltic successfully between
Sweden, Denmark and Germany. For
weeks no British submarine has been
successful in the Baltic. The Rus

would cause would be some suffering
