Wilson's War Appeal
Endorsed by Pastors
Universal Military Service
and Prohibition Urged in
New York Pulpits

In hundreds of churches in New York
yesterday the sermons were evidence
that clergymen had taken to heart the
Presidents appeal to the country last
Sunday, in which he said: 81 hope that
clergymen will not think the theme of
il an unworthy or inappropriate sub

pulpits." Universal service and ma
tioual prohibition were the two specific
subjects whose merits were most fire.

DR.. Stimson Resigns
Church's War Burdens Too
Heavy for Pastor

Unable to bear the burdens which the
war has already thrown upon the Man
haitian Congregational Church, Broad
way and Seventy-sixth street, the Rev.
Dr. Henry A. Stimson, pastor, yester-
day announced that he had resigned
and would preach his last sermon next
Sunday.
DIR. Stimson pointed out that the
church needed a younger man to cope
with conditions that the war had
brought about. He had been pastor Of
the church since he founded it twenty
wears ago. He was formerly pastor OF
the Broadway Tabernacle.

Verbal shafts at slackers, women who
dress immodestly, drinkers and back
sljders generally were effectively mixed
by Billy Sunday at his two sermons
Yesterday. In every case they awak-
ened enthusiastic responses from the
two audiences who jammed every
available space in the Tabernacle and
overAowed into Broadway and 16Sth
Street.
He took his daily shot at military as
we'll as religious slackers. His cam
paign upon slackers of the military va
riety has become more vigorous with
each sermon, and he indicated that un-
less there was a more ready response

he would be even less eonsiderate of
the feelings Of such hapless individ-
uals.
"The sins of America are OF omission,
not commission" he said THAT is 70

"The trouble is you're too darned
lazy. That's why nothing is done.
That's why the church is crying for
real Christians and getting so few

By the time the evangelist was ready

Letters to the Editor
THE YELLOW PERIL

Editor The Star: would like
to commend you on your stand on
the proposed plan TO import Asiat-
les to this Coast to aid in the com
ing harvest. You are right when
you state once they get here, they
will remain, and furthermore, Il Is
not necessary to have them, as the
crops can readily be harvested II
the population is organized and
each one does his share.
The yellow population that we
already have here Is a curse and a
menace and only tends to cause a
wider sphere between the laboring
and wealthy classes or course, you
know the many sound arguments
against parasitic class, and I
trust you will continue the good
work and always stand on the side
of real justice as against the much
worshiped dollar Some day pa
pers that line up on the proper side
Of these important issues Will be
actively supported by men OF ar.
fairs and means, more 40 than at
present, and that day Is fast APP
preaching.
I have followed the newspapers
pretty closely during the last few
years, and firmly believe that The
Gtar has them all beat in this. city
when It comes TO getting at the
. bottom OF things and getting out
I. IN the open. and for taking the side
OF Issues that are for the good OF US
