Services at the Unitarian church last
Sunday morning were of unusual interest
and were attended by friends from all the
churches in the city to greet Rev. Adolph
Rossbach of East Boston, a former pas
tor and Arthur N. johnson of Brockton, a
former tenor soloist of this parish. The
floral decorations were abundant and
beautiful, consisting of canterbury bells
and foxgloves from the garden of Miss
Anne C. Crosby and arranged under the
direction of Mrs. Bancroft H. Conant.
Mr. Johnson's solos were listened to with
pleasure, many noting the improvement
of his recent study, particularly the high
notes in the upper register and the ex-
preston of sympathy with the thoughts.
Mr.. Rossbach preceded his sermon with
few personal remarks expressing his
pleasure at again occupying the pulpit
and speaking to his former parishoners
and friends. He took his text from Rev.
elations-"And saw another beast arise
out of the earth," etc, and preached a
discourse that will long remain in the
memory of every thoughtful person who
heard it. St. Johns vision was of the
destruction of Rome's civilization, but
there is great silent movement at work
today that is worth the war to defeat
German materialism. He did not speak
as pacifist, but as one who has a religion
that will fight when necessary and as
a loyal American. The beast of today is
the pursuit of desires in the spirit of II
want it, get out of the way" A beast
has no ability for higher service and no
upward look He is not in Germany alone
but in degeneracy wherever it exists.
Only the self righteous have failed to see
where the danger has touched our shores.
He held up the vision of the fine, strong
charitable spirit of Jesus Christ that has
made him the light of the whole world.
His severe arraignment of big and little
i profiteers of our own country in this, its
time of distress in necessary commodi-
ties, rang out clear and strong. He spoke
eloquently of the departure of the young
American manhood to assist in the world
war and said that they will return with
new vision, new perspective of life and
bearing the sword of God that will strike
dishonesty and error here as it has on
the battlefields of France. Let us get
ready for their home coming.
