DOLLARS OR CLEAN HEARTS.
christianity in The Worlds Crisis"
The Theme of a Series of Sermons
at The Promenade st. Methodist
Church by Rev. s. w. Hayne.

Sunday evening at the Methodist
church in this city Rev. S. w. Hayne
initiated a Sc ries of five sermons on
the subject of christianity In The
Worlds Crisis" The remaining
four sermons will follow in the four
successive Sunday evenings. The at
titude of Christian people and the
church today toward the turmoil of
war should be that of condemnation
for the practice of commercialism
for the piling up of dollars by the in
dividual by means of dishonesty and
exploitation of the weak.
MIR. Hayne referred to our present
wars as being waged to protect com
mercialism. Commercialism right
fully practiced is good internationally
but greed for gain so possesses a
large part of the traders today that
the wars now raging are being waged
to protect thieves in the piling up OF
damnable dollars.
Just because your neighbor is not
making the most of his piece of land,
and because you think you could
make more out of it than the neigh
Dor can, is no excuse or reason why
you should pounce upon and seize by
force his land for your own and ex.
plot him into earning dollars for you
So with nations today. A nation
cannot be justified in protecting in
dividuals who are doing that thing
with vast areas owned by the weaker
nations or individuals.
War to preserve and care for The
home, to protect the weak, and t.
maintain a righteous peace may have
excuse in being. Such, Mr.. Hayn'
believes, is the policy of our Presi
dent Wilson, whom he lauds TO
right thinking. War to protect the in
truder who uses the backing of hi
government to take by force from tn
weaker man or nation is to be con
: demned. The Church should stan'
in opposition to such a condition.
Where morality does not exis
there is no international law. Lac,
of morality is undoubtedly grea
factor in the cauess of the presen
warning conditions of the world tc
day, hence there is no internations
law that can fit the present crisis
Militarism must give place to tn
international law of the Golden Rule
The strong must protect the weak
governments should not protect tn
commercial brigand In all worth
l pursuits nations must learn that la
4 is love and love is law.

both In anticipation OF the action Of the
convention and in winding up all his ON
cial affairs preparatory to taking the
held" against the Democrats.
At the Hughes home yesterday morning
social and household matters passed on
on routine schedule. Neither of his two
daughters, Miss Helen or Miss Gather
Inc, were, home for luncheon. Both of
them returned home, however. to con-
graduate their father as soon as they
learned the news.
The announcement Of Justice Hughes
nomination was the signal for a rush OF
newspaper correspondents, photograph
ers and personal friends to the home OF
the jurist. The first of constant stream
of telegraph messengers, which contin-
ued throughout the day and night. reach
ed the house within fifteen minutes OF the
first announcement.
Messages Pour In.
The congratulatory message from Sena-
tor Harding, chairman of the convention,
was one of the first received, along with
messages from Frank Hitchcock, Gov.
Whitman and others. A brief congratu.
latory note from former Attorney
General George w. Wickersham, who
probably will take most prominent part
in the forthcoming campaign In behalf
OF Justice Hughes. was received early,
Mr.. Wickersham returning to New York
late in the afternoon and leaving imme-
diately after for Oyster Bay.
Thirty minutes after the nomina tion
was announced the hrst OF the official
callers-Rufus S. Day, son of Justice Day
Of the Supreme Court. and Mrs. Day, left
a note OF congratulation.
Justice Louis d. Brandeis and Mrs.
Brandeis called In person. All other
members of the Supreme Court sent notes
OF congratulation. Mr.. Hughes received
no callers. Mrs. Hughes listened to the
congratulations OF few close friends.
Cards and notes were received by hun
dreds.
At o'clock thirty-hve newspaper men
crowded across the Hughes threshold
and were invited to wait in the large hall
and drawing-room on the second floor.
The click OF the typewriter was plainly
audible from the den downstairs as Mr..
Green finished the task OF copying the
statement.
Gives Out Statement.
At $50 o'clock Mr.. Hughes ascended. the
stairs and personally handed out his
statement and also copies OF his brief
note OF resignation. A little later, he
posed for photographers and moving pic
ture operators and shut himself up for
the remainder OF the afternoon.
Mr.. Hughes has lodge at Lake Placid,
n. Y, and the supposition is that his
hrst move will be to that retreat, though
he probably will delay in Washington
some weeks
Mr.. Hughes will not attend tomorrow s
session of the Supreme Court though
several decisions which had been assign
ed to him by the Chief Justice probably
will be read for him. II is known that he
not only had concluded the writing of all
decisions assigned to him. but has pro-
cured, prior TO yesterday. the approval of
all members OF the court to these decis-
ions, thus leaving nothing to be done ex-
cept their formal reading

The nomination Of Charles E. Hughes
as the Republican standard bearer had
but passing effect upon the routine Of
his home and family. Though all were
confident that Justice Hughes would be
the Republican nominee shortly after the
convsning of the Republican convention.
plans for the day went unchanged.
Justice Hughes took his customary walk
after a early breakfast and passed the
morning in his office with his secretary.
Mrs Hughes concerned herself with the
details Of her household duties, plans for
summer changes. house-cleaninss and
early summer social requirements.
Miss Helen Hughes, the Oldest daughter,
is very busy young woman, with char
table work and her duties as a working
chairman Of the Y. NJ c. A. school work

from Chicago, indicated that the nomi-

Miss Catherine at school.
As for Miss Catherine, the second
daughter. who recently graduated from
the National Cathedral School, her stu
dent work still required her attention,
and to school she went. and at school
she stayed until her days work was
finished, when she fastened home to add
her congratulations to those OF her
mother and elder sister. When the news
Of his nomination reached Justice Hughes
he was lunching with his wife and sec
retary.
The youngest daughter, Elizabeth, is
still the baby Of the family. and the son,
Charles z. Hughes, jr., is learning some
of the seamy side of preparedness in the
mud-hlled fields of the Plattsburg train
Ing camp.
When hundreds Of congratulatory notes
and cards began TO pour in early in the
afternoon, Mrs. Hughes and her two
elder daughters started to sort out the
accumulation, classifying the cards and
notes as social and officials, and setting
aside those to which they believed Mr.
Hughes attention should be particularly
invited
Later, when callers began to arrive,
hardly expecting to ind Mrs. Hughes "at

broke his sphinx-like silence and for the
first time in months greeted newspaper
men in his home at Sixteenth and streets
northwest yesterday afternoon. He had
Just been notified OF his nomination as
Republican candidate for President Of the
United States
Two hours later he made public a
statement announcing his acceptance OF
the nomination, his resignation as a MEM
Der of the Supreme Court, and tele-
gram to the chairman of the Republican
convention, embodying a rallying-cry to
Republicans and a slsshing political at
tack upon the administration.
Following his usual early breakfast yes
terday. Justice Hughes left home for a
brief walk before winding up his Official
affairs as a member of the court. He
was supremely confident OF his nonina-
tion, though not expecting it upon the
first ballot OF the day. Newspaper men
were received by Justice Hughes secre-
ushered into the library. where they
waited patiently throughout the morning.
Announcement by Phone.
While Justice Hughes was at luncheon,
Mr. Green was called to the telephone.
The conversation was brief.
Justice Hughes has been nominated al
Chicago" said Green. before returning
to the dining-room to inform his chief.
Justice Hughes came down almost i'm
medistely. pausing only to receive the
hurried congratulations OF his wife. The
newspaper men congratulated the new
nominee and fled out. Justice Hughes
finished his luncheon and closeted him
self with his secretary and former sec
retary, Robert H. Fuller, of New York.
His first act was to dispatch to the
President his resignation as a member
Of the Supreme Court. This message
comprised exactly twenty-four words and
the signature:
TO the President: Thereby resign the
Office OF associate justice Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States"
Justice Hughes then turned to the task
of putting the finishing touches upon
his announcement, which was a telegram
to Senator Harding. OF Ohio, chairman
of the Republican convention.
Refused All Interviewer.
Mr.. Hughes made it plain that he did
not care to say anything beyond his pre-
pared statements, and completely dis
couraged in advance any effort that
might have been made to interview him.
He showed no signs OF strained nerves
or wearied physique as he passed from
one room to another on the first floor
OF his residence.
His movements were calm, though
virile. as were his voice and countenance.
He showed no evidence OF the strain
