lettering Thrones and Un-
easiness in World Leads
Virginia Minister to Be-
lieve Millennium Is Not
Far Distant.

There are many references in the
Bible to the fact that Jesus is to
return to this earth" asserted the
Rev. r. P. Rixey, Of Fredericksburg,
Va, at Petworth Baptist Church yes
terday morning.
Let US not neglect this truth be-
cause men have brought it into de-
rision through misconceptions.
1T is a fact, despite all human
miscslculations. Jesus promised
that he would return. and the angel.
when he disappeared in cloud,
confirmed the word that this same
Jesus would come again in like
manner And the fact that the gos-
pei has been preached to all nations
as a witness, the fact that knowl-
edge has been increased. that many
run to and fro that there is un-
easiness and uncertainty in all af-
fairs; that thrones are tottering and
kings falling, lead serious minded
men, who think along this line, and
study Gods word, to the conclusion
that soon the King will come
"As God is consistent with Him
self. may we not expect in due time
a revelation for those who watch
and are ready? AS Noah knew of
the flood 129 years before it came :;
as Abraham knew before Lot of the
destruction of Sodom, the wise men
and shepherds knew the star in the
East, may we not hope. pray and
take courage, that We also may be
ready, and have our lamps trimmed
and burning and oil in our vessels
Were the inhabitants of Mars to

the Indifference OF the average
church member and of many preach
ers, to the fundamental truth Of the
Lords return. Our great danger
lies in the spiritualizinR OF the
teachings of Jesus and His early
disciples. There is no subject given
more prominence in the New Testa-
ment than the second coming of
Jesus"

Sermons Heard Here YESTERDAY
Plea for Restored Sanctity
Of Sabbath Voiced by
The Rev. Joseph Meeks
AT the Union M. E.
Church.

The beauty and psthos blended in
the "Pilgrim's Progress" is finding
Interpretation in series of SER
mons by the Rev. Joseph Meeks,
at the Union Methodist Episcopal
Church. Twentieth street northwest.
He said last night:
The life of a Christian, so far
from being thing of sorrow, hu-
initiation, and poverty, should really
be represented as the hilltop OF eX-
perience, the vital essence of JOY
and progress. YOU could, indeed,
search long to find a person who
could be Cowardly or Intellectual on
a hilltop-there is something too
vital in the air. and in the view.
The stimulus of nature is too para
mount there for the weakness of
spirit to enter in.
My idea of correct attire-not
that we would restrict humanity to
any form of garb-is clothing that
attracts neither by its famboyant
or startling tone, nor by it's too
careless disregard of convention. 1t
is, of course, the duty of the Chris
tian not to offend in either regard,
but to be ruled by the edicts of
common sense.
"As for Sunday selling of mer-
chandise, it is, of course, true that
if the shbpkeeper had no purchas-
ers he would not keep open on the
Sabbath. When one big shop opens
it's doors, another is apt to follow
suit to protect its business, and thus
the purpose and the beauty of the
Sabbath day is diminished, and
clerks are without their needed day
of rest. When we restore the Lord S
day we will in that measure de-
crease the ugliness and increase the
beauty of life"

Cures for World Unrest I'm
possible Unless Statesmen
Work With God, Declares
Tennesseean at Calvary
Baptist Church.

Beyond the work of statesmen lies
the activity of the church, which
must proceed to bring back the
King" or the panaceas proposed by
statesmen will be of no avail, de-
Iclared the Rev. Len c. BrouEhton, of
Knoxville, Tenn, at Calvary Baptist
Church yesterday morning. states
men and society are striving to
bring harmony both here and
abroad" he said. but no body of
statesmen or legislative measure can
accomplish this if God is left out.
1T is indeed easy to fight for our
own personal glory, our own selfish
purposes. but the ills of humanity
will not be cured while individuals
and nations fight for selfish ends and
do not seek to enthrone the real
King"
Not to nations but to the indi-
vidual does the Rev. Mr.. BrOughton
look for real adjustments in social
life.
''If God has been dethroned in the
individual life then the adjustment
of the balance of the community, of
the State and of the nation must
suffer.
THE moral plan of the church for
the upbuilding of humanity must be
recognized in the councils of ma
tions. 1t has been the experience
of the past that a nation seeking
material advancement, at the ex-
pense of the spiritual, stressing the
selfish motive, has but hastened the
day when it would be scattered to
the four winds
AT no time in history" asserted
the minister, has it been more evil
dent that the future of civilization
rested with the church Not to the
honor and glory of God did that
ancient people build the tower of
Babel, but merely to make a bril-
liant name for the descendants of
Noah And as their idea was con-
ce'Ved in seIfishness, so it was
doomed to go down in defeat"
