Church League
Needed, Declares
DIR. I'll. E. Fosdick
I'VE Haven't Really Gone
Bad During the War;" He
Declares, but Nations Re-
ligion Should Be Unified

IA league of churches is needed as
declared the Rev. Harry Emerson Fos-
dick last night in an address to the
Protestant Teachers Association at its
third annual meeting, which was held
In the Central Branch Y. w. C. A. DR..
tosdick's address took the form of
strong plea for interdenomnationali
in the Protestant churches
Denominations insstently stress the
unimportant in religion and inslstently
obscure the Important" said the
speaker. They are divided about
everything that doesn't really matter,
about things the man in the street
knows nothing and which would not
make him better if he did.
I'm my work in the training camps
met men who had been reared on de-
nominationalism, men who knew little
of what Christianity really means, who
knew nothing of its soul, but who knew
much about the frnges Of religion.
Expects Better Type
IA better type of Christian must
come out of this war. The type of
Christian of the future must be man
of international sympathy, of wide
vision he must be interdenominational
and must have a profound sense of per-
sonal responsibility"
DR.. Fosdick declared that denomina-
tions have been proved inadequate, and
urged that the time was at hand when
all Protestant creeds must make COM
mon cause.
No ones fidelity could be dispensed
with. he said, and the education of
bows and girls along broad Christian
lines should begin while they were
still young.
The speaker urged united support
of tn e campaign in the fall, when
$4,000 900 American Protestants would
unite in a common drive in which
every 'Dne must find his place to help.
Have Not Been Bad
'sWe' We not been bad" said the
speaker in conclusion, "but we have
been sc altered, with our energies frit-
tered. We have been lacking in unity.
Now We must work together, for the
world i, in danger, and Professionalism
in this city is in danger"

Cordova Daily
 Times

The experience of man has demon strated that in every relation of life honesty is necessity, and not merely the best policy.
 Truth is a principle. It is as cer- tainly a principle as is the law of gravity. It is an eternal principle of right, law of order.
 While it may be disguised or hid den for time, it is constantly striv- ing to come to light, like water con- stantly tends to its level.
 But truth may lie dormant. It must have the power of a man or woman of a determined character who is not afraid to fight to maintain tho truth, in order that it may be of great serv- ice to the world. In the hands of one who is neutral between good and bad, Truth will accomplish little for humanity.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-02-10

Roosevelt's great service to man. kind was possibly only because he could not be neutral-only because he constantly fought against what he believed to be wrong.
 This element in Roosevelt's charac- ter, which compelled him to remain constantly in state of war with that which he believed to be untrue or wrong, is, then, the thing which we must understand, and to which we must cling, as our inspiration, if we would aid his influence to survive, here something more than a mere ceremony.

C0RD0VAPAYS TRIbUIET
 EX-PRESIDENT

Yesterday afternoon Cordova hon. ored the memory of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt by holdinig a public serv- ice in the Empress theater under the auspices of the National Council of Defense. The stage was draped with a large American flag and an excel lent portrait of the ex-President was suspended in the center of the pro- scenium The speaker of the day, At torney B. O. Graham, and the com mittee in charge of the arrangements, A. J. Adams, H. A. Slater and J. l.. Galen occupied seats on the plat form.
 MT. Adams presided, and the exer- cises opened with a vocal duet by Mrs. R. G. Walker and Mrs. T. N. Hubbert, followed by a rev remarks by the chairman, an address by MT. Graham, vocal solo by Mrs. Hub bert, and the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" in which the audi ence joined.
 Chairman Adams made few in troductory remarks, as follows:
 "As announced in the local press, this meeting has been called for the purpose of doing honor to the mem- who departed from the material field ory of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of action on January 6, 1919, at his home in Oyster Bay, l.. I.
 Pursuant to the request in cable gram we have met here this after noon to pay our respects to the mem ory of one of the great men of Ameri- can history.
 Not only are memorial services be- ing held this day in every city, town aand hamlet of the United States and territories, but contrary to all form, usages and customs, the people of of the world are holding memorial services to the memory of an ex- President of the United States. In fact, the whole civilized world is mourning the loss of a great pOliti- ciana, fearless explorer, a noted his torian, deep thinker and a famous naturalist"
 MT Graham's address follows:
 When the commanding general Of our army in France visited the tomb of Lafayette he said: We are here, { Lafayette
 This simple statement, backed by millions of the best soldiers the world ever saw, then in France or on their way, showed that our general had not visited France for the purpose merely of bending his knee at Lafayette's tomb and uttering a few praises of that depared benefactor, but that he was there as tho head of great army determined to strike down powerful and dangerous enemy to progress and liberty, and really honor the memory of that great Frenchman who assisted our forefathers in their struggle for independence.
 Blu if we come here today and sim ply s y "We are here, Roosevelt" :" or merely recount his achievements ard praise his life and deeds, we come, not like Pershing, but alone and W~tbout understanding. We would cover the memory of Roosevelt with naught but ashes did we not seek and find in his life some inspiration to force r5 to really honor his memory
The Cordova daily times., 1919-02-10

by contributing something to the prog ress of mankind.
 The efforts of great men like Roose- welt contribute to the progress ol mankind through the tangible things accomplished by them while llvlng' and through the influence or tnelr lives upon the conduct of the people who live after them.
 The influence of the life of Christ upon the conduct of the many genera tions following undoubtedly contribut- ed more toward the betterment or humanity than has been contributed by all the great men who have nved since his day, and this is true largely because men, and the children of men, have been instructed in the great prjn- ciples of truth and justice taught by Christ.
 Then, if we find and practice sin gle great principle which was charac- teristic of Roosevelt, we shall render real homage to him by making his influence continue it's good work for the betterment of the world.
 What made the man whom we have kown by the name which is spoken in reverence in the home of every true American?
 Not alone he clay of which he was made, for his physical person prob ably differed little from that of any clean, right-living and vigorous man.
 Not alone the clay of which he was ment of his brain, for there were prob ably thousands who were his equals i'll intellect.
 The Roosevelt character, that was builded upon the physical and intellec- tual man, was the factor which made for the good of mankind the world over, for without that character he might have lived a strenuous life, physically and mentally, but neither he nor the world would have made any great spiritual or material prog ress thereby.
 What was the great and important element in his character which made his life count for so much to the so- cial organization of mankind?
 There are many men and women Of strong physique, of great intellect and of good character, who contribute little to the spiritual or material bet torment of their fellow men or women.
 Why? Because they are merely good, and, being merely good, they arc neutral between good and bad.
 In the agricultural sections of the world there are many good insects. They neither injure the flowers which adorn the world nor consume the grains which feed mankind. These merely good insects, like merely good people, are neutral.
 There are others which are not only good, in the sense that they are not given unto destruction of the flowers We love, or the grain we need, but they attack and destroy certain other insects which prey upon the flowers and the grain.
 These insects are not neutral be- tween good and bad. They are fight CTS and, therefore, useful in working out the great scheme of the universe.
 In this great republic every individ- ual may perform, among others, two functions essention to the well-beiAg of humanity
 He or she may assist in the produc- tion of useful things and
 Do his or her share in pushing the world up the road of progress.
 If a person merely produces and fails to do something to help human ity take a step upward toward a bet ter level of living, spiritually or ma terially, that person is moral stacker.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-02-10

 does anything to make the world a better place for mankind or for the animals subject to mans dominion, that person is not merely a stacker, but parasite of less value to human ity than the insect which neither i1l- jures the things intended for mans welfare nor destroys the predatory bugs, for such person consumes the food produced by others, usurps the place of real human being, and con tributes nothing in return.
 So, when we find ir world of peo- pie, of whom so many are merely good people, man who devotes his life to fighting what he believes to be false doctrine or propaganda, and to honest endeavor to promote the spir. itual and material welfare of his fel- low men, that man stands out before the world like a flash of lightning against a storm-clouded sky, and his name and his deeds are known to every man, woman and child of the land.
 Such man was Theodore Roose- welt.
 He was never neutral between good and bad.
 He was never neutral between the true and the false.
 From the time he first came into prominence as an assemblyman in the city of New York, at about the age of 25 years, throughout his activities as ranchman in the West; as civil serv- ice commissioner in New York; as police commissioner in the same city; as assistant secretary of the navy; as lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rid CTS in the Spanish war; as governor of New York; as vice president and President of the United States, and as a citizen and editor to the close of his life, covering a period of about thirty-f1ve years, he led a strenuous fight for the rights of mankind and against wrong in whatever form he recognized it's ugly head.
 Being human, he may have been mistaken at times as to just where the line between the true and the false was to be found.
 Like the artilleryman in battle. he had to attack and overcome enemies so obscured by the smoke of battle that they were not easily distin- guished.
 He was dependent upon information from others when endeavoring to To- cate the enemy, and, like the artillery man, he necessarily fired some shots which did not find the mark, but the important things to remember are the facts that he was always on the firing line, always in action, and never cried .'Kamerad."
 The most important agency in the protection and promotion of the vel fare of man is Truth.
 Before primitive man could domes- ticate wild animals and make their products a constant supply of food, he had to discover some of the truths of Nature.
 Before he could engage in agricul- ture he had to discover some more of Natures truths.
 Before he could create and carry on commerce he had to discover some truths of human nature. F AS man progressed in his various pursuits he learned many truths of ns ture and many truths of human na- ture, and through his learning he dis covered that honesty was factor which had material bearing on his relations with his fellow men, and then came the maxim, Honesty is the best policy"
 A true statement, but weak state ment.

DISCUSS LOST CONTINENT.

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 13.-(Corre-
spondence Of the Associated Press.)-
Search for evidence supporting the
theory of a lost Pacific continent is
being prosecuted in the Hawaiian
Islands. the South Seas and along the
west coast Of South America.
Professor Douglas R.. Campbell Of
the botany department Of Stanford
university thinks that in certain spect-
mems of ferns found on the island Of
Hawaii he has established the fact
that at some period there was land
connection between the Hawaiian
group and the islands to the south and
west through to the Malay peninsula.
Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr., in charge
of the federal observatory at Kilauea
volcano, agrees with Professor Camp
bells theory, asserting that there are
geological indications that the islands
Of the Pacific were once connected.
