The two marble angels set last week at the base of the sanctuary arch of St. Patricl<'s church were lighted on Sunday. Each bears a curved torch terminating in a brass candelabrum of seven electric globuIar Hnghts, to match those recently installed in the church.
 From an artistic as well as symbol icai standpoint the statues are beauti- full. The features of the angels are marked by notable delicacy and charm, the draUeries fall in graceful folds. the carving of the wings and the pose of the two figures indicate the work of @ skilled artist The statues arrived last week from Italy, after a delayed and somewhat uncertain voyage. due to war conditions. They are of the choicest Carrara marble. With the pedestal and electric eandelabrum, each stands about g feet.
 The statues are the gift of the par Ish Holy Name society and friends and the richly carved pedestals were do- hated by the ladies of the church The members of the congregation who saw the statues for the first time Sunday were greatly pleased with this beauti- full addition to the adornment of the sanctuary At each of the masses the rector, Rev.

REQUIREMENTS
 O FALMIGHTY GOl
Rev. Riddle Tells Congregation What
 He Requires of Them.

At the Mckinley avenue A. M. B. Zion church on Sunday evening, Aev. E. George Riddle preached strong sermon on the subject, Imperative Re quirements taking his text from Mi- cah 6.8.
 What doth Jehovah require of thee, but to justly, and to love hndenss, and to walk humbly with they God"
 In part Rev. MT. Riddle said: in Him we live and move and have our being. He has a right to make Imper- ative requirements of us.
 First, He requires of us Ito do just ly.' Every individual is to deal just ly with his fellow man. If we deal un- we may offer to God will be accept able.
 The state is to deal justly with all the people. If it dealt unjustly with some. it thereby wrongs the whole na- ton.
 The people to deal justly by the state. This demands loyalty patriot ism, self denial and sacrifice; the peo- pie must not ounly demand and re- ceive protection; but they must stand ready with their lives to protect
 Second, God requires us to love mer- cy. As God is merciful and kind to us we should be merciful and kind to all with whom we deal Kindness to even the brute creation. Blessed are they that are merciful for they shall obtain mercy"
 The state should be merciful to the poor and needy the aged and infirm
 Not poorhouses but homes shoud he provided for those need.
 The individual and the state could be merciful to the erring, aiming to reform and restore the criminal. This is what Osborne Is endeavoring to do in Sing Sing.
 God requires that we walk humbly with him. As no one can walk with God until they are acquainted with Him; this should be the first con cern of all. Seek ye first the king with God Less than this is a slight
 The Imperative Requirement is that every one should be Christian; walk ing in communion and fellowship with God. Less than this is a slight to God, and most surely unworthy of a true man.
 The state should be God fearing. and enact and execute all laws as in Ills sight and presence. This will require the recognition of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Then we speak of humanity" It will be aIl- inclusive Humanity!
 All mankind, male and female, of all tongues and people; of all languages, colors, races and creedS, of all de- grees of development, of all times; that is humanity.
 Every descendant of Adam; of- Shen. Ham and Japheh. This coun- try is to be the welcoming home for all humanity,
 Here all are to be treated jus: Jy, righteously. And by this this nation is to be exalted above and beyond all others
 Such treatment of all peoples will do away with all secret diplomacy, se- cretly and maliciously arraying nation against nation. It was secret dipIon1- acy that brought on this world wide war.
 These are some of the imperative re< quireTfnts of Almighty God.
 The individual and the state moot. ing these just and rcasonable require ments will be wonderfully blesr Of God.
