MANY BAD EEVERS
 BESIDES iNFANTILE PARALIYSIS
First of Y. M. c. A. Open Air Meet inqs Held on Porch, pr. Slocun Speaking.

In spite of the downpour, the open air meering for men and women at the Buckingham Memorial was held Sun day afternoon at o'clock. It turned cut to be a porch meeting and several people who braved the storm found good seats and excellent shelter on the ample porch. After a spirited praise service conducted by Secretary Hill, with Roy Phillips at the organ, Rev. Joel B. SI0cum, D. D., the pastor of the Central Baptist church, was introduced as the speaker. In part, Dr. SIocum said:
 I am glad we can have this porch meeting. It is good to meet in the name of Christ even if we only sing together l wish to speak to you about levers.
 The health authorities of New York city would give a good deal if they could discover some successful rene- dy for the so-caIed infantile paraly- sis I cannot help believing that were Jesus here again He would touch many of these little sufferers and save their precious lives; just as He so often put forth His hand and arrested disease and death.

A bright eyed, keen minded westerTrer came to New York, sized up the situation and then said that there are two things that New Workers care for: the almighty dollar and ready-made pleasures. This fever of the fnordinate love of pleasure is one that is giving the social body, a great deal of trouble, because the fever has so frequently gone to the danger point.

If God cares for them, He will care for us. Then, too, we must not forget that worry is largely selfish. It is not often that our worry concerns itself with others. It is about our own in terests that we spend so much anxious thought.
 Then there is the money fever, It has become tremendously prevalent in these recent years. Its epidemic has spread far and wide. People who never dreamed that they would catch it have come down with 1t. We are all very susceptible to this disease. It is the story of Midas over again. Men and women of our day are money mad.

 There is the fever of worry. Almost everybody has some kind of a worry; and there are kinds enough to go all around.

FIRST OF UNION SERVICES
Rev Benjamin W. Bacon, D. D. of the Yale School of Re- lgion, Spoke the Broadway Church Sunday Morning on Patriotic Preparedness

bring forth fruits of the kingdom of God. Are we living up to 1t? Democ- racy has spread. Many countries, for merly monarchies have become demo- cracies in form and in the widest sense. But have the ideals of democ- racy spread? Are not too often the desires and planning of the local nature to make out of many states and federations one state? Did we not learn that in our own bitter strUg- gle of the past?
 Trying to Deceive Ourselves.
 In an article recently written, well known fellow cOuntryman slreaks of our attitude in the European war. Our vaCillating attitude. He makes the charge that we are self-deceived or into the belief that we are taking no part and standing one side from mo- tiVes of disinterestedness and human ity while in reality it is perhaps be- cause of our lazyness and love of ease. He speaks of how we are re- garded by other countries as unjust unfair and actuated by a desire only to make money. This is fortunately not true of the best of our American citizens but is too true of many.
 True National Patriotism.
 Have we a purpose that justifes our national being? After the war we shall become the great melting pot of all naIlOnS. II InSS6 pGOplS come lO Us not to evade taxation and all the burdens which war inevitably brings, but with a purpose common to us all, to look beyond this country to the kingdom of God, we may evolve the true national patriotism.
 We of New England have a duty of preparedness to industry, school and state. Our country has Q gospel to preach to the world, that of divine service and the brotherhood of hu- manity.
