Worlds Need Is for Men Of
Vision, Declares Rev.
Chappen at Vernon Place
M. E. Church.

The story OF a dreamer who fol-
lowed his dream and the success he
attained and the good he did was the
central theme Of DR.. Clovis G. Chap
pell's sermon last night, at the Mt.
Vernon Place NJ. E. Church. The
Man Who Was Forever Blowing Bub-
bles" was the title OF his sermon.
He told the story of Joseph, begin
ming with the, boy and his three
dreams. Then he spoke Of his BROTH
ers, the practical men who, because
of their small-minded jealousy.
planned first to kill him and then de-
cided to sell him for what they could
get. That was his first adventure
which had a profound influence on
his after life.
His second came in the form of q
temptation in the house OF Potiphar,
captain of Pharaoh's guard. His
third adventure was his Imprisonment
and the Interpretation of the dreams
of Pharaoh's servants. But through
it all he believed in his dreams. Moth
ing could shake his faith in them, and
day by day through all his bitter ex-
RSiAChSSs, hc ne
blew his bubbles and moulded himself
that he might be ready for the great
opportunity which ! should come to
him. 1t came and he was ready. and
with it came the fulfillment OF his
dreams.
In closing, DR.. Chappell said:
THE man who succeeds is the man
who knows how to dream. He who
can blow his bubbles OF fancy and
build his castles in Spain, then labor
to turn his dreams into realities. The
vital need of the world today is for
men OF vision-men who can dream
the dreams and weave the fancies
that shall shape for US a better and
happier world. There are millions of
men and women who, like Joseph's
brethren. laugh at the thing they can
not understand and who prosecute the
men and women of dreams and visions.
selling them into slavery, the slavery
Of their own littleness and narrow
ness.
Most of us lose our dreams and
with them our faith in the finer
things of life. 1t is only the few, the
Josephs Of the world. who can blow
their bubbles. build their castles in
times of adversely and cling with I'M
tagging ardor to the vision that Is
theirs. but it is to those, rare souls
that the best gifts of the world be-
long"

Sir Edgar became chairman of
the underground system in 1905

the clamor raised against him and
his family, he being a native of

charges of disloyalty and treach-

resignation as privy councillor and
to revoke his baronetcy conferred
upon him in 1906.
Asquith, replying, stated that
the King was not prepared to ac-

Carpenter at Nazaret b
Proved Drawn Important
In Worlds Success, Rev.
Stewart Tells Second
Baptist Audience.

THE man OF the strong arm Is as
much in demand today as the nan Of
the strong BRAIN" said the Rev. How
ard ]. Stewart, in a sermon on The
Most Embarrassing Moront in My
Life" at the Second Baptist Church
last night.
DIR. Stewart began by relating an
anecdote touching on a young MAJ
who was invited out to dinner at the
house OF a friend. He was seated
next to an elderly man whom he had
never seen before.
After frantic efforts on the young
mans part to create conversation, he
drew a photograph from his pocket
and displayed it to his companion.
Isn't she a peach?'' he exclaimed.
That's the girl I'm going to marry"
That's nice" commented the
other. She's my daughter"
DR.. Stewart delved into the stories
of the Old Testament for men who
made themselves conspicuous by
making brain and Drawn work to-
gether.
THE cry today" he said, "is for
men of brains to fill executive offices.
To the man of the strong arm is
given the lower forms OF labor.
1T is the pleasure of the current
fashion to crown brains. business and
pleasure. This is wrong. Jesus
Christ, who. working in a carpenter
shop in Nazareth. combined mind and
physical strensth, is the One to be
crowned king"

N. Y.PARTYLINES
WILL UNTANGLE
Republican Leaders Have
Many to Pick From,
Says Holland.

Sometime in February the Repub-
Iican organization OF New York
state will be represented by dele
gates at a convention where Presi-
Dental politics will be the chief
subject OF discussion. This conven-
ton Is termed unofficial" but the
action will undoubtedly influence
the primaries.
ton will be Elihu Root, who Is as
well qualified for chief leadership
OF the New York State Republicans
as he was ten years ago. How
ever. his age would in any event
be regarded as an obstacle standing
in the way of the choice of him
as q candidate for President.
From one point OF view Presi-
Dental politics in this State, as ap-
parently in almost all of the States.
is completely befogged. There does
seem to me much strength behind
the proposition that Nicholas MUIR
ray Butler, president of Columbia
University. be nominated by the
Republicans for President.
One thing which was disclosed at
the conferences and probably will
be still further disclosed when the
Official convention meets Is the fact
that no New York citizen. at pres
ent. Is financing the preliminary
campaigns which are under way 10
secure support for this or that can
didate for the Presidential nomi-
nation. When the candidacy of Gen.
Wood became conspicuous 1t was the
common understanding that a very
rich citizen of New York was
financing the Wood campaign. This
will be especially easy because in
many parts of the country there
seems to be an enforced. really
spontaneous disposition on the part
of the people. which favor the
nomination of Gen. Wood.
We still hear. comment among
those who are of some authority
which suggests that lying far in
the back of their heads Is the sur
mise. possibly the hope. that out Of
the large number of professed can
,lidates for the nomination will
emerge the name, the achievements
and the brilliant intellectual. char
acter of Senator Kellogg, Of Min

Man Becomes Old Only
When He Loses Touch
With Present, Declares
The Rev. DR.. J. J. Muir.

That man Is old who Is out OF touch
with the present and whose point of
view reaches into the past: instead Of
aiming toward progress in the future"
declared the Rev. DR.. J. ]. Muir last
night in Temple Baptist Church.
How Old Are Your a topic Of the
New Year suggested by the question
of Pharaoh to Jacob, as recorded in
the Scriptures. was the subject Of DR..
Mulr's sermon
This question has its significance
today in judging the real worth OF a
man." said DR.. Muir. Contrary to
usual custom, a mans age is not to
be determined in years. but by moral
factors which Indicate his able grasp
Of present conditions and his ability
to contribute to the advance of the
race.
Though a man be a close student
OF the history Of past years, he is old
and his work OF no value to the pres
ent generation IL he is not able to con-
tribute to the solution Of present-day
problems. He is old also IL he is out
Of touch with the moral principles Of
the duty he owes to his fellow men
That man, too. is old who shows his
loss of youth in making no prepara-
ton for the unseen realities OF future
world.
Christianity promises man a peren-
NAL youth IL he will only model his
life on the teachings of Christ Years
will mean nothing 10 him and in the
loss Of fear for the moment when his
life has reached its end he will live
always in the buoyance of youth.
Through a close contact with the life
of the Master as its full meaning is
unfolded in the pages OF the Scrip
lures. one IS assured of preserving the
true perspective Of life and remaining
always young"
