Last Sunday Rev. Gardiner L.
TGcker, of ST. Matthew's Church,
| Houma, La. officiated at the morning
services at Mount Olivet. At Sunday
School he delivered an address on
How Our Church Came to Louisi-
ana" He said in part: Our Church
| came TO Louisiana in 1905, or soon
after the territory was sold by Napo-
! leon TO the United States. So, when
| our Church came to Louisiana, it
! came to a French Commonwealth. 1t
was therefore the first to present the
! spiritual freedom of Professionalism in
| Louisiana. Rev. Philander Chase en-
| tered upon the work in New Orleans
| in 1906 as rector of Christ Church.
| In 1888 diocese was organized, with
LeOnidas Polk, soldier and statesman,
as first bishop. In 1861 Bishop Polk
accepted the commission of Major
| General in the Confederate army and
was killed in battle in 1864. After
the Civil War, Bishop Wilmer nursed
the church through the days of Re-
| construction. Under Bishop Galleher
it became vigorous once again. And
| to this DAY, under it's present bishop,
it is developing along lines of sane
and conservative progress"
The visit of the Rev. G. l.. Tucker
to Mount Olivet was greatly appre-
ciated and we extend to him a cor
dial invitation to come again.
Rev. S. L. Vail officiated at the
morning services at st. Matthew's
Church, Houma, on Sunday last.
At the evening service at Mount
Olivet the rector preached on The
Responsibility of the Church for So
cial Morals Taking his text from
Saint Matthew, S-3, And Jesus put
forth His hand and touched him, say
ing, L will, be thou clean,'" he said
in part: To-day we stand face to
face with venereal diseases that are
corrupting the minds, bodies and
souls of men, women and children.
The Church is responsible for the
morals of her people and should take
an active part in the work of making
our communities clean and our cities
fit to live in. To prevent the evils of
vice, rather than to have posterity
suffer the punishment which newt
ably comes as result of vicious liv.
ing, is the duty that every Christian
citizen owes to his community. We
need to-day in our cities good citi
zens, aggressive, earnest, Jealous and
righteous men and women; people
with convictions and will to demand
that our communities come clean.
These, through their efforts in Gods |
name, can save the most wicked of
cities from the evils of vice and sin. |
Just as soon as we, as a people, are |
ready and determined to stop vice it |
will be stopped. Just as We are sim |
cere and take our stand for God and a |
clean city and say, BE thou Clean or |
in the words of to-day, Come clean, |
our city will come clean. But the |
Come Clean Campaign must be, as
it is intended, nationwide in its
scope. Then the leprosy of vice will
be cleansed and our cities will be
gradually freed from the stigma of
venereal diseases and our people from
the results of evil living" The rector
read the letter of Surgeon General
Rupert Blue, of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, toward the close of
his sermon.
