Sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterda
Says Christian. Science Has
Taught the World One
Great Truth.

The world owes great debt to
Christian Science" said the Rev.
Wilmer p. Johnston. D. D.. assist
ant pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church yesterday. because
it has taught us great truth
that of the power of thought over
life."
I'VE were in great danger" the
Rev. Johnston stated. "of overlook-
ing this great truth. Our scien-
lists. preachers. business men and
others in different walks of life
are beginning more and more every
day to see that Christian Science
had the correct idea along this line.
"A firm determination once estab-
lished in a mans mind can do won
ders II he sticks to his determine
ton. He can. II he concentrates
sufficiently upon the subject, alter
the whole course of his life.
For instance-if a man resolves
to accept Jesus Christ as his Mas
ter and do His work in His spirit
and live his life for His principles,
he will be completely changed in
wardly and outwardly. A mans in
ner, experiences and habits will
change. He will experience a new
sense of rest. something which is
ordinarily dificult indeed.
The resolution to serve God
brings to a man a new sense of the
sinfulness of sin. 1t brings a new
sense of victory. AS Paul said in
prison. I can do all things through
Jesus Christ
There will be a complete change
in a mans personality also. A new
dominant purpose will modulate the
voice-change the facial expression
the touch of the hand-the car
riage of the body-puts behind the
original group of mans faculties a
new and tremendous motive power
and as a result of this new motive
power there will be a marked de-
velopment of his mental faculties
those faculties and talents that
may have hitherto laid latent are
aroused into use. Most men have
large undeveloped resources and en-
dowments-there will be a gradual
bringing hack cf the normal con-
dition CT those faculties which
have been dwarfed or warped
through sin and selfishness."

China Betrayed by Allies as
Judas Betrayed Christ,
Says the Rev. Mott.

"A very large portion OF the Chi
nese people have been bartered on
in very much the same fashion as
Joseph was bartered on by his
brethren in ancient times" said the
Rev. Z. NJ. Mott, pastor of the
Church OF the Advent, yesterday. IN
his sermon.
While DIR. Mott did not directly
mention the Shantung Peninsular,
which Japan obtains by the peace
treaty, he deplored the sale" OF a
people who are. in his opinion. far
better citizens OF the world than are
the people who obtain control over
them-the japanese.
The Chinese people have been
betrayed" said DIR. Mott. "as Judas
betrayed Christ Japan is riding for
fall and ] believe that within
twenty-five years she will be a vas
sal of China and not her master.
Japan's dream of conquest will
end just like that OF Germany's
The people who are adversely affect
ed by these dreams Of conquest by
the aristocratic rulers have already
had enough in the world war not to
want any more OF that sort Of thing
The purchase OF Japan's member
ship In the league of nations was a
bad buy. Her superiority over a
better people cannot and will not
last We have proven that we be-
lieve this true by sending an enor-
nous battle armada to the Pacific.
From my experience with the
Chinese on the Pacific Coast and
from my observations of the jap
anesc. / am convinced that Japan.
with her aristocratic class, Is de-
termined to exploit China. just as
other peoples have been exploited
only to eventually revolt and take
the reins of government in their
own hands"
The Washington herald., 1919-07-21
Says Livable Greed Must
Be Built on Foundation
Of Experience.

Experience Is the only foundation
upon which to build a livsble creed.
the Rev. ]. J. Muir. pastor OF the
Temple Baptist Church. declared last
night In his sermon, The Greed OF
Experience"
"Creeds." he said. cannot be inher-
tied or taught They must be the
outcome Of our own personal expert
eEce and the expression OF our strong
conviction
There must be a BACKGROUND OF
definite experience that we can nei-
ther deny nor refuse. Once we have
evolved such a creed II can never be
shaken. because we ourselves know
the truth"
DR.. Muir based his sermon on the
quotation from the chapter Of ST
John: 'One thing ] know. whereas 1
was blind. now ] see"
The blind man." DR.. Muir de-
clared. had found the right founda-
tion upon which to build the creed by
which he lived. He knew, and de-
spite the arguments of Christ's enc
mics. he remained Arm in his belief
his simple creed was the result Of that
through which he had passed. and he
was satisfied"
The pastor urged that Christians
keep their creed broad and learn
through through =. .eHpef1rnce to enlarge and
1T need not necessarily be long
he said. The brief language Of con-
viction is the safest language IN
which to write it-and must be prefer
able TO an involved doctrine that only
ends in confusion. This 10 q day OF
'isms.' and We are beginning to feel
the necessity OF certainty"

Says People Are Not Made
Holy Simply by Attend
ing Church.

Religion does not act automatically
and the fact that a person attends
church does not necessarily mean he
Is holy. declared Monsignor Thomas.
in his morning sermon at st. Patrick's
church yesterday.
"The Catholic church" he said. puts
1t down as one her narks-that she is
holy. This does not mean that all the
members of the church are holy or
very good; but It means that the
church holds in her doctrines. prac-
tices. inspirations and ideals. motives
and incentives for every one to reach
varying degrees OF holiness or good
mes.
The claim is not made. and could
not be, made. that all the members Of
the church are good or holy. For re-
ligion or Catholic truth does not act
automatically We have to make our
selves; we are good or bad according
as We elect. But II Catholicism the
members of any church, are not good
1t is in spite Of the teachings or ideals
presented.
There are three classes of people
in every body of men-religtous or
civil or political The intensely loyal
and throughly devout and deeply pious
or intensively acdve spiritually. Then
there are the average good who are
loyal to a certain degree but not be-
yond: who content themselves with the
fulfillment of essential obligation and
may be counted on in emergencies or
special OCCASIONS. but who give no evil
dence of any special enthusiasm or
deep faith and piety. Then there are
the hangers On. who would retain their
membership but can be numbered only
in a grand round up. in order not to
be disqualified for membership and
cut off from all participation in the
benefits resulting from membership"

Cr:ndaPs MetropoIitan-"On
Thing-at-a-Timc O'Day.1

The lure of the red wagons and the
tan bark exerts itself strongly at
Crandalrs Metropolitan Theater. the
first four days of this week. where
yesterday was presented for the first
time in Washington the film version
Of William Dudley Pelley's humorous
Saturday Evening Post story of cir
Gus queens and small-town philoso-
pliers. 'One-ThinS-a O'Day."
Bert LytelI in the title role of. Stradi-
varius O'Day, who fiddled his time
away; Eileen Percy. perfectly cast as
the worlds greatest equestrienne;
Joseph Kilgour as the fiashy owner
of the tent show, and Stanton Heck,
Samson" contribute to the cumula-
tive comedy effect of one of the most
diverting photoplay bills ever assem-
bled.
One of the most conspicuous ele-
ments in the complete success Of this
subject rests in the fidelity with
which the atmosphere of the circus
lot has been maintained. A large
part of the actual performance is
shown upon the screen. and through
out the length of the film the repro
duction of a picturesque and nomadic
life rings true. To the kiddies One
Thing-at-a-Time O'Day" will be as
good as a real circus.
The early-week bill is completed by
"Cashing Rainbeaux." a Billy Par
sons comedy; an especially interesting
issue of the new pictorial, and violin
solo by Mr.. Sokolove.

Moore's RinIto-"The Firing Linc.-


1t is customary for most of US to
confine our summer reading to light
fiction or best Sellers" as such
novels by well-known authors are
called. For two or three seasons
past there has been no more popular
story on the market than that by
Robert w. Chambers, The Firing
Line" Following the custom out
lined above and evidently with a de-
sire to anticipate the demands of
their patrons, Moore's Rialto The
ater presents for a second weeks
showing the perturbation of Mr..
Chambers novel with Irene Castle,
famous dancer and entertainer. in
an admirable leading role. that of
Sheila Cardross.
AS an example of high-class film
drama and the beautiful manner in
which a good story can actually be
brought to life. The Firing Line"
deserves special mention. That the
public recognizes and appreciates
this fact is evidenced by the capacity
audiences which have attended the
show all past week and yesterday.
resulting in the Rialto being forced
to break its established policy Of
seven-day runs and continuing the
showing for another week.
The scenario of the story Is the
work of Clara Beranger. the central
character being Sheila. the adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Neville
Cardross, New York millionaires.
She does not know of her adoption
until she overhears a chance remark
of some friends. Having been raised
as though a flesh and blood daughter
of the family. such discovery up
sets her entire life and attitude
thereto and in a brooding mood.
without thought of ultimate results.
she marries Malcourt. a boyhood
friend. who is inherently morbid, as
played by David Powell.
The marriage Is without love, they
do not announce same and do not
live together. Eventually Sheila
meets the man for whom she feels
she was intended. He falls in love
with her and from this point on the
picture is replete with gripping

Chesaueake Beach.

Bert Saulsman's jazzy ex-soldier
musicians, who got their pep on the
battlefields of France, are furnish
ing wild syncopated strains for the
free dancing which is one of the
boardwalk features at Chesapeake
Beach. the salt water resort near
Washington.
When Bert's saxophone. and pic
colo, and stringed battery, and
drums get to going, everyone has
to dance. There are no restrictions
on the types Of dancing, and among
the popular steps are the bordeau
glide. the jazz. the shimmy, and that
wild "wahooa" one-step. The pa
vilion is large and is built over the
water. The wash of the waves helps
the dancers keep in rhythm.
The beach is a good spot for an
all-day outing. One may loll and
lunch in the groves overlooking the
bay, which is twenty miles wide.
Lovers can find rustic benches hid
den in secluded sylvan dells. At
the cafes and hotels. appetizing
menus can be found.
