White Elephant" Once Gift
Of Fateful Significance
Exists Today With Its
Meaning Yelled, Pastor
Says in Sermon.

white Elephants In Washington"
was the topic of a sermon by the Rev.
Howard-I. Stewart last night in the
Second Baptist Church.
The preacher explained the express
sion was drawn from an ancient GUS
tom of a kind of Siam who always
presented a white elephant to a
courtier he intended to destroy. The
analogy was drawn between the fate
full gift of the King and the useless
things in life which interfere with
future success.
There are many men in our own
day" said the speaker. who have
their white elephants which slowly
lead them to destruction. There are
business men whose interests outside
their business distract their attention
from a careful management of their
affairs. Then there are store pro-
prietors who stock their stores with
useless articles which represent just
so much useless investment We find
even ministers who have their white
elephants in the books which they
gather from which they learn nothing
that will aid them. in preaching the
gospel or the worldly pursuits which
hinder them from conscientious de-
votion to duty.
The rich man who centers his
whole life and ambitions on amassing
riches in the hope of gaining enjoy
ment from his wealth in later life.
often finds to his sorrow that his
strenuous pursuit OF wealth has
sapped his energy leaving no appre-
ciation of the pleasures he might have
gained.
THE goal of the great majority of
men is money-making. but they never
reach their goal though they devote
their whole lives and energy to achiev-
ing II because they lack a definite aim
in life and have no clear-cut ideas on
how to go about furfilling their am
billions. They live their lives in an
aimless. haphazard fashion. load
themselves down with white elephants
and never reach the success and hap
piness for which they strive"

DR.. John Britton Declares
All Labor Troubles Would
Be at an End If All Peo-
pie Obeyed Christ's S Pre-
cepts Of Justice.

Better realization of the person.
ality and teachings OF Christ was
proposed as a remedy for the pres
ent social unrest. especially In the
labor troubles. by the Rev. DIR. John
Britton Clark last night in First
Presbyterian Church.
From the nobility Of His teach
ings." DR.. Britton said. Christ
stands as the one great character
in history. Everything He pro-
poses as a principle of life Is of
the finest and best. Applying His
teachings to our own times we ind
them in absolute accordance with
the standards of true Americanism.
Since every word coming from
the mouth OF Christ during His
teaching years on this earth was
characteristic of the highest and
best in life. one cannot fail to profit
by a closer contact with His teach
ings. 1t Is deplorable that the
world pays so little attention to
what Christ has taught. He guides
all creatures whether they be in
the halls Of state or the hovel of
the peasant.
.'Chrfst taught Justice and His
principles would form the best basis
for the economic distribution of
wealth. Christ taught love OF
neighbor which IL followed would
quiet the spiteful animosity of the
laborer who supposes he has been
wronged by his capitalistic en-
ployer.
Christ also taught respect for
authority. We find men railing at
legally constituted authority and
launching their anarchistic at
tempts to overthrow governments.

Choosing a vocation or profession

basis Of a sermon by the Rev. ].
Franklin Bryan last night In North

The Rev. Mr.. Bryan related several
incidents of healing Of cripples spoken

cures reported to have taken place in

One point emphasized by the Rev.
Mr.. Bryan was the advisability of re-
