PATCHED" RELIGION
SCORED BY PASTOR

Patched Clothes and Old Bottles"
was the topic the Rev. DR.. J. ]. Muir
chose for last nights sermon In Tenn
pie Baptist Church.
Applying the subject to religious
conditions, DIR. Muir said:
we find too much devotion to old
forms and ceremonies. This tendency
has crept into religion and threatens
to be an obstacle to its success In
maintaining a true relation between
the world and its Creator.
Like patch sewed on a garment
of different color the ceremonials of
former days, fail to blend harmonious
ly with their present surroundings.
Much In the world may have become
artificial. but religion must be kept
strictly on the paths OF truth.
Ceremony should be made a minor
part of religion, whereas we find out
ward manifestations substituted for
the faith that should be within US.
Christ meant his religion to be the
active realization of His teachings.
but many persons are misied into be-
lieving Christianity Is made up OF ex.
ternal observance. They forget the
commands OF God which enjoin an ac-
tive fulfillment of the moral rules of
conduct.
THE ceremonials OF former days
cannot be matched with new condy-
tions. The world Is moving ahead
swiftly and to be effective religion
must lay stress on the positive phase
of the teaching of Christ. 1t must
exist for all men and for all times. I"

SAYS WAR ENRICHED
ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The war has enlarged our vocabul-
ary and we find ourselves using words
which originated in the many phases
OF the great struggle" declared the
Rev. Howard I. Stewart. pastor of the
Second Baptist Church. preaching last
night on Popular catchwords Of the
War"
We speak OF the doughboy," said
the preacher. "and it suggests the
loyal spirit of 100000 of our boys who
went over there to give their lives, II
necessary. to preserve their country's
honor. The word will stand in history
as the name Of the type Of America s
soidiery who fought the Hun.
True TO their barbaric methods the
dermans made us fight like hogs wal
lowing In the mire In long lines of
trencnes the opposing armies did bat
tie. Inc word trench took on a pecu-
Iiar significance. It's very mention
brought with 1t a picture of war-torn
france and troops waiting in these
deep. blood soaked scars on her soil
to spring to the fight.
Religion also has found new WAYS
OF expressing old principles. We were
told continuously during the war OF
the morale Of our troops In the train
ing camps and on the battlefield. The
WORD stood for devotion to duty, cour-
age, and above all. a spirit of unity
Religion. too. must have its morale
and those who profess Christianity
must have spirit OF unified adherence
to its teachings.
Camouflage expressive Of a means
or deception was used widely Of meth
ods Of defense against the enemy, Its
spiritual application likewise is one of
defense and opposed to hypocrisy with
all evil intent to misIead."
