STONE TALKS TO
THE MEMS CLUB
DR.. Timothy Stone, of
Chicago, Addresses
COngregatiOnalists.
A REGULAR BANQUET

One of the best talks ever given in
Kenosha was delivered Monday night to
the Congregational Mems club at the
Congregational church by Doctor John
Timothy Stone of the Fourth Pres
byterian church of Chicago. The adj
dress followed the second banquet
of the season that is being given by
the club.
The committee of the Congregation
alists who had charge of arranging the
talk is to be congratulated upon their
foresight in providing their club with
such brilliant speaker as Mr.. Stone.
During the talk, DR.. Stone stated that
he had worked his way through Am
herst College by being boxing in
structor and football coach and he
emphasized the fact that he was talk
ing to the club as a man, primarily,
and as minister, secondly.
Men Interested in Religion.
"Men are more interested in reli-
gion, than we give them credit for"
said Mr.. Stone. 81 know twenty
churches, where more men are present
every Sunday than there are women.
No longer is it a problem to get the
men out to church-it is problem to
get the women out to church." he de-
clared. A man does not need to be a
confirmed church goer to be Chris
tian and to be interested in religion.
Church going is habit, a very good
habit to be sure, and one that should
be cultivated. But unless the regular
church goer carries the things out in
actual practice that he has heard in
theory from the pulpit, his going
shall have been in vain.
Religion Necessary.
Religion is necessary, it is natural
and it is vital. Without religion we
would have chaotic state of affairs
such as exists in Russia. 1t is per-
fectly natural, for when man is in
need be instinctively turns to Su-
preme Being. The untutored savage
does it as we'll as the multi-millionaire.
There is nothing phenomenal about it
it is nature. Religion is vital be-
cause it gives US something that we
can i'll afford to be without. 1t
soothes US and forms an integral part
of our domestic and national life"
Original Before Counterfeit.
DR.. Stone then threw a half dollar
upon the table. "That half dollar rings
true" he said "But if I threw lead
half dollar it would sound dead. That
goes to prove that there must be a
genuine original before there can be a
counterfeit duplicate. And the dupli-
cate would have little chance of cir
culation if it did not have a greater
number of good originals. 1t is the
same with religion. Don't let some
individuals knock religion when per-
haps it is a sect that is at fault. Be
sure that they are not knocking the
duplicate and not the original"
