Christ S Idea of Man Gave
Inspiration for Les Mis-
cradles, Rev. DIR. Herbert
F. Randolph Says in Ser
mon at Foundry Meth
odist.

Among all the great works of fic-
ton. Les Miserables Is unique in
that it exhibits the worst as having
a divine spark that no injustice.
however cruel, can distinguish" de-
clared the Rev. Doctor Herbert F.
Randolph in his discussion of Victor
Hugo's masterpiece in the Foundry
Methodist Episcopal Church last
night.
Victor Hugo found his inspiration
for the book in Christ's idea of man
and OF God as His Father" said DR..
Randolph. and sought in this story
to present the Divine One as ever
near to the wanderer. seeking to
win back to rectitude. purity and
goodness the souls of lost men.
Consider then the man whom
Victor Hugo presents as represent
ing the outcasts of our modern day,
the inhabitant of the great under
world of our time of all times. The
foremost character is Jean Vatican,
the wood-chopper. condemned to
poverty. and at II years of age bur-
dened with the care of seven little
children whose father he found ly-
ing dead on a heap of straw. His
tolls and sacrifices in behalf of
these orphan children is one of the
most moving and pathetic recitals
to he found in either history or fic-
ton.
Fed Starving Children.
"One day, IN desperation having
stolen loaf of bread from a bakers
window to feed these starving chill
tren, Jean Vatican was condemned
to the galleys where he served for
over nireteen years. He came forth
brutalized and consumed with a pas
sionate desire to revenge himself
upon society.
over against him stands the
character of the good bishop whom
Hugo represents as entering the
lists to battle against the demon in
behalf of the soul of Vatican. No
character in literature surpasses
this good bishop and no story of hu-
man sacrifice is more inspiring than
that which is given US by Hugo in
the story of his efforts to redeem the
convict.
The great story reaches its fine
climax in behalf of one who has
been condemned to the galleys by
mistake of identity, and the climax
presents unto US how finally in the
mighty struggle the angel of good
ness wins q mighty triumph over
the demon of evil in the soul of the
hero.
Theme Old As Human Race.
Like many otner such books, this
one has been immortalized because II
has dealt with a theme which is as
old as the human race and will ever
remain as one of the greatest studies
in those efforts of redemption which
make for the ultimate recovery of
the lost soul to goodness. to right
eousness and to God"

Acrostic Used by Rev. DR..
Henry Allen Tupper in
Sermon on Il am the
Good Shepherd" at First
Baptist.

Children's Day was observed with
special services yesterday at the
First Baptist Church of which the
Rev. DR.. Henry Allen Upper is pas
tor.
DR.. Upper selected an acrostic~ as
the unusual theme for his sermon.
taking as his text Chrlscs own
words from John 10:11. Il am the
Good Shepherd"
Preparatory to the sermon he
traced the following acrostic on a
black board, in order to present his
subject graphically to his youthful
auditors:
Cares for His lambs. Ell. O.,
Hunts up the lost ones.
Receives them in His arms.
Invites all to come.
shelters them from danger.
Tenderiy leads them.
Celebrating and illustrating the
points made in each phrase OF the
acrostic. DR.. Upper told them that
in the Bible Christ is often referred
to as a Shepherd and that He, Him
self preferred TO be known as the
Good Shepherd.
Christ the Good Shepherd.
Christ is to every ono of you n
Good Shepherd" said DIR. Topper.
1T was He who said. Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for OF
such Is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Just as He blest the little ones on
the shores of Galilee, even so today.
He blesses you and watches over
you.
He is the Good Shepherd who
cares for His lambs, who gathers
them up in his arms and clasps them
with compassion to His divine
lreast.
The lost ones are more dear to
Him even than those that are safe
in the fold, and there is always a
welcome for erring children when
they return to His arms.
"He invites them all to come. for
to Him they are all the same, they
are His Fathers lambs and are in
finitely precious to Him.
when danger threatens, He shell
ters them; His arms are wide and
His garments are warm. He shelters
them from heat and from cold; IL
they are thirsty, He gives them to
drink; IL they are hungry He feeds
them; IL they are hurt He binds up
their wounds with tender care"
The service concluded with songs
and recitations by members of the
Beginners Department, the Primary
Department and the Junior Depart
ment.

Christ Gives Only Sure
Light i''On Mess World
Has Gotten Into" Rev.
DR.. Robert E. Speer De-
clares at First Congrega-
tional.

Consider Jesus" the simple creed
of the early church, was urged as
a guide for the solution of the
perplexities of the day by the Rev.
DIR. Robert E. sI'eer. who occupied
the pulpit last night at the First
Congregational Church.
IF Christ has no light TO throw
on the mess We have gotten our
selves into. then no power on earth
has" said the speaker. Three
years ago men had a wonderful
vision-they spoke of the dawning
of a new day. of the rising Of a
sun of peace and hope over a world
drenched in the blood of sacrifice.
But what do they say now? II
was all dream. they are forced
to sdmit-a dream that has van
ished. We still have a wicked old
world. a planet that cannot change
overnight.
The outlook is troubious, we
must admit, but II Is not half so
black as the prospect upon which
Christs apostles. and Christ him
self. looked in their day and era.
But there was no hesitation on the
part of those brave souls, and the
Divine Man himself never demurred
an instant. but applied himself TO
the task set before Him.

The disciples were not content
with merely talking of Christianity.
this great new leavening force that
started on the shores of Galilee
and gradually penetrated to the
utmost limits of the then known
world. They went about amongst
their brethren and broke bread
with them and told them Of the
glorious gospel of salvation that
had been given the world.
CONSIDER Jesus'-what a world
of meaning in these simple words,
Transcendiny the subtlest rhetoric
they comprehend a whole theology. .
Jesus stands alone. the sublime
figure of all human history. Not
chapter of His life but Is omen
TO all. How many historical per-
sonagcs can challenge the world
thus? Few. indeed. Someone has
said that the only advantage which
Christianity trjoys ever Mohamme

chapters in Mohanmcd's life which
would not stand much close .cru-
tiny. Far different Is the life of

atmosphere i'll which his youth is
spent is impregnated with the
true spirit of religion, we may
trust and firmly hope that his flu
ture life will not depart far from
the path Of moral and religious
rectitude. Where, on the con-
trary, his soul has unfolded and
developed in an ambient saturated
with materialism and the indif-
ference of irreligion, what hope
can surely be entertained that as
a man he will measure up to the
grandeur Of faith and the chill
dren Of God?
Briefly, if we are to have a
strong, virile, manly Catholicity,
the kind that prefers heaven to
earth and the things of the soul
to worldly prosperity, it is neces-
sary to start betimes with the still
growing child, else the result will
be a fabby, unwholesome Chris

A CUBAN OFFICER
STRIKING DEVOTION OF CUBAN
SOLDIERS AT RELIGIOUS
CEREMONY.

A striking example of piety and
devotion was witnessed in Havana,
Cuba, in connection with the last i'll
ness of the late DR.. Jose Sabadi, re-
tired officer of the Cuban army.
Feeling that his end was nigh, DR..
Sabadi expressed a desire to receive
the Holy Viaticum publicly; anu
procession of devout Catholics was
formed and marched to his residence.
More than five hundred persons were
in the line, headed by Most Rev. P.
Thomas Vinas, carrying the Blessed
Sacrament.
Great devotion and affection was
shown along the line of march. Even
many who called themselves anti
Catholics, including members of the
Freemasons, knelt in the streets as
the Blessed Sacrament passed. The
good doctor was well-beloved by all in
Havana and many wept as the pro-
cession passed. When it arrived at
the residence, the Holy Viaticum was
administered, and DR.. Sabadi ey-
pressed his great joy at being enabled
to, receive Our Blessed Lord again
amid such manifestations of devotion.
He died few days later.

Rev. Monsignor Stanislaus Adamski,

today a striking figure among the men

Monsignor Adamski is the third

the country, and the outgrOWth of
small organization founded in the

was succeeded as president by the
Rev F.. WawrZyniak, a man of eXcep-

ing Father Adamski for his protege,
so carefully trained him in the work
in hand, that at his death in 1911 he

to be the equal of his master in every
