INDUSTRIAL Peace
DR.. Ziegler Tells ark
Service Audience Man
Still Has Personal God
SEES WORD OF
LOVE AFTER STRIFE

Lessons that the world has learned
In the past i've years, most Of Them
the result OF tho war, and predicting
that these times Of Industrial strife
with factions threatening revolution
would end In peaceful reconstruction,
was the message that Rev Dr. Jesse
Icigler, OF Hyde Park Presbyterian
Church, Chicago. brought 10 an audi
ence Of more than 5000 persons at tho
open air meeting at Washington
Heights last evening.
pr. Zegler whose ability as a pulpit
orator. has made him hosts OF friends.
displayed his dalenls in his sermon 10
such an extent that despite the fact
that hundreds wero. compelled to stand
throughout his discourse. Not more
Than a half dozen left before he had
finished.
DR.. Zeiger said that one OF the big
things THAT people had learned was
that there stil is a personal God. Be
fore the war the Germans had tried to
teach a false theology ia tho world
and people OF their countries had
thought that what the Teuton dcceiy-
crs said must have some truth IN H.
Since the war the world had come TO
believe that IL the Germans were false
in other things they must also be un-
true IN their theory OF religion.
70 was The war Dr. Ieiglcr said, that
resulted in many who had strsycd
from their belief I'm a personal God to
return 10 the true salvation
Another thing that the war has
taught was the meaning of the word
sacrifice. The Bible tells Of God giving
his only Son 10 save the world, the
speaker said. but most people sort OF
looked on this myslically, falling to
grasp the true meaning They cons.d- /
cred God in the form Of a grandr iher' |
benevolent and kind But now, since
many had given their sons that democ- !
racy might triumph. and many had lost
their sons, they realized what the Bible |
meant when 10 said God gave his son |
10 save the universe.
A third point that pr Zciger em-
nhasized was the love that God bore |
io The world 10 give his son. Those /
fathers who lost their children because |
Of the war. realize now as they never |
did before. what II means to see them |
march away for the sake OF lhclr
country.
The world. the speaker said would !
become free and more united lhan |
ever because Of the recent conflict |
Whereas. before the war, there we're !
kingdoms, democratic states and ooun- |
tries would now replace them, because
II liberty was good for some countries
IL was good for all.
The Rev. w. Framer Smith presided |
at the meeting last evening. Prior 10 |
