SAYS CRISIS WILL NOT
KILL BELIEF ~ GOD

The present national crisis and the hard
times for the individuals 30 far as the food
situation Is concerned form no basis for
thought that should lead persons away
from belief In God, was the subject OF re-
marks by the Rev Joseph II. Earp ~ st.
Paul's Church. who preached the MONDAY
Lenten sermon at Christ Church, Second
street above Market. today.
Mr. Earp said that the Spirit of God is
always to be found in our fellow men no
matter how troublesome the times or how
extreme our distress. There X always u
remnant that possesses the truth, a remnant
in others and a remnant In ourselves.
The speaker also introduced word of
warning against the idea that Lenten OBJ
servations are more than preparation for
a better life. That good or broken-hearted
feeling that the observation of Lent some
times gives us may he misleading unless
we make 1t part Of q permanent chang
in our lives.

Is Il considerable confirmation of this that Zoe
was n model of punctuality in his reviewing anu
other work for the magazines during all the en-
suing Il years of his life, which comprises his
literary career. In 1897 he moved to New York
and after Il year to Philadelphia, where he wrote
some of his finest stories. For much OF his lit
erary career he was half starving. His labor
over his writings Is shown, no doubt with some
exnggeration. however. in his article The Philoso-
ply of Composition written shortly after the
publication of The Raven In. this essay ne
enumerates some Of his articles of faith, such as:

Of the Intellect nor the heart.
But except for these intermittent indulgences,
his addiction to stimulants must have been gross
" exaggerated by his biographer Griswold, whom
my father lns said he Ind personally seen on
quite bad terms with Poe. My fathers %acqna,nt-
