BISHOP CONFIRMS A
CLASS OF SEVENTEEN
ST. PETERS CHURCH
SEVERE INDICTMENT OF THE
PRESENT DAY VICES AND
TEMPTATIONS.
TAXI S RAP At MOVIE PICTURES
Declares That Class of Pictures Shown
In Many Cases Should Not Be Toll
erated-Strong Sermon Marks Nota-
BILE Occasion for Church.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas F
Gailor delivered most magnifcen
sermon at st. Peters Episcopal churcl
Tuesday night to large congregation
despite the fact that the weather wa
threatening and heavy rain fell dur
ing the hour of service.
The Bishop took as his text th'
twenty-third verse of the fifth chaptei
of the First Thessalonians: "Ant
may the God of Peace sanctify yol
holy; and pray God your whole spiri
and soul and body be preserved blame
less unto the coming of our Lore
Jesus Christ"
This is a great subject and an ap
propriate one for this occasion. He
made it applicable to the confirma
ton class; he made it applicable to
our every day life. Bishop Gailor
strongly denied that the body, like the
Puritans believed, was a sinful body
The body of man like the sun, is q
creature of God and whatever God
made He loveth.
His indictment of the present day
vices and temptations were severe,
but his eulogy of the present day life
and its possibilities, was revelation.
The Bishop said that where there
were great things being achieved, and
great things growing out of a life. or
an age, that there were bound to be
evil and vile things, and that the only
recourse that man had against them
was to fortify his soul against them in
the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Bishop Gailor in summing up the
temptations of the present life touched
upon the excuses INDUCED in by the
individuals, and especially was he
severe upon the moving picture shows
and the devotees of this amusement.
Bishop did not condemn the movie as
a whole, but rather that part Of it
that was degrading and not fit for the
older people to see, much less the
young and tender boys and girls. He
said that he admired and thought that
the invention Of the movie was a won
der, and that when 1t was first insti-
tuted that 1t was intended for good,
but that it had heen debased and per-
verted. The drama, said the Bishop,
was first instituted by the religious
bodies, to better bring out their
religious beliefs and creeds, but that
it had been so warped and perverted
that it was now looked down upon by
the church. He made plea for better
and more wholesome plays and meth
DDS of entertainment than the present
age was giving the rising and coming
generation.
At the close of his sermon, the
class in confirmation came forward and
the laying on of hands was admins
tered in a most impressive manner by
the Bishop. The class was composed
of seventeen, men, young men, young
ladies and smaller girls.

Ruth said cordially.
Jimmy thanked her, and soon
afterward left her, to keep his
watch on the bridge. A breeze had
sprung up, and the smoke
stretched out over the starboard
quarter; Jimmy noticed this while
he paced to and fro, turning now
and then to sweep a different arc
OF horizon. The last time he did
so he stopped abruptly, for the
smoke had moved forward. He
sprang to the pilot house, and saw
the quartermaster leaning slackly
on the wheel. His face showed
livid in the moonlight.
Whats this. Evans?" Jimmy
cried.
Pulling himself together with
an effort, the man glanced at the
compass in alarm.

spinning the wheel. "She's fallen
