Curb of Extravaganza and True
Worship of God, Topic of Sermons
Rev. Lucien Clark Explains
Worship and why We
Should Go to Church"

The House of God Is a dry place 20
some people," said Rev. Lucien Clark,
pastor Of Chevy Chase NJ e. Church.
in his sermon last night ON why Should
We Go to Church" "They go elsewhere
for entertainment and happiness" said
the pastor. land are sure to be disap-
pointed. Every one who goes to the
place of sinful amusement or worldly
pleasure with hungry sould will so
home empty.
Some seek happiness in entertaining
books and the study of the sciences
There is much good in science and In
fine literature, but not the highest GOOD
There is food for the mind, but no
salvation from sin. Who ever heard OF a
man saying, I was a wretched sinner
until l went to school and learned
mathematics, but since that day I ,have
been as happy as an angel Mathematics.
botany. biology or psychology cannot set
you free. Did you ever hear It said.
Blessed are those that hunger and
thirst after poetry or history and they
shall be hlled?'
In the church we may worship God.
Some never go to church because they
care nothing for worship. They see no
profit in it. They ask, what good can
1t do to pray to God and sing praises to
his name? It can add nothing to his
knowledge or power or glory. True, but
it means much to the worshiper.
Worship Is a universal instinct
Worship is as much an essential part
OF life as love. Any man who desires
to quench the fame of love in his heart
may do so; but in so doing he will
smother one of the richest, sweetest
elements Of his life. He may plead that
this Is only weak sentiment, but when
he has put 1t out, his soul will wither
So IL is with worship. II is as necessary
to rich and happy life as love and
friendship are"

War Teaching Us Self-abne-
CATION and Nobility, Says
Rev. H. T. Stewart.

war is teaching us as individuals and
as a nation to look to our real selves and
call halt on our extravagsnces," said
Rev. Howard l. Stewart. pastor of the
Second Baptist Church, Fourth street and
Virginia avenue southeast, in his sermon
last night on "a Painted Fool"
-"Our extravagances of dress and ap-
pearances should give way before the
nobler feelings of helpfulness and SYM
pathy for our war riven brethren across
the water" said the pastor.
I'VE are paying too much attention to
ourselves as individuals and seem to care
little for our national welfare. There are
things in life far nobler than a pretty
face and fine clothes. These are not the
days that we should primp and promo
made and flout our eXtravagances while
the people of Europe are in misery.
Our energies could be better spent by
extending a helping hand to our own
country and to the men who are fighting
civilizations battles. Now is the time to
foregO unnecessary luxuries, clothing, and
everyday eXtravagances.
Painted cheeks never saved any one
in crisis. Jezebel. the Biblical bad
woman, thought by painting her cheeks
she could capture Jehu. the reformer bent
on destroying her and her wicked cult.
Her pride Of blood and ancestry were of
no avail against the written order OF
things.
when you look at your family tree
be sure what kind of fruit it bears.
Blood too often thins. The Old World
thrones are tottering today because
much of the royal blood has become
thin. Greatness is not transmlssable.
Your nobility begins in yourself. Nature
never duplicates, usually one is enough.

""They take turns in being the blind

We are not going to be blind-fOlded.
No, not q single one of us. But the

we can chase. We shall have a grand
old lark. We shall chase the crows
and we shall chase rabbits. And we'll
see about a number of birds and other
odds and ends. Well have a good old
