The Rev. Earle Whitley Says
World Will Never Be Won
To Christ by Picnic Sort
Of Christian Work.

The Rev. Earle Wilfey made q
plea for a more vigorous faith al
the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church yesterday morning.
lie said:
Starting with the only sure foun-
dation, Jesus Christ, the Christian
has the choice of many materials for
the superstructure of his life and
character. He may choose to build
with inferior and temporary mate
rials. such as speculation. Journalism
mere church regularity, self-seeking
trivalities, and the like: or he may
select the enduring and helpful
virtues that may be translated into
a life of service to ones fellow men
and honor to God.
"one great need of the church to-
day is a deep. earnest, consuming.
overflowing conviction that drives
us forward. 1t is not enough to say
we want a nice church in which to
worship, a nice choir to sing for
us, a nice preacher to please us and
a nice circle of select friends in
which to move; where We may give
a little money to ease our conscience
and where we may be soothed by a
soft and undisturbing theology.
I'VE must believe something and
believe it so strongly that We arc
restless unless that belief finds ex-
preston In activity. The world will
never he won to Christ by the ice-
cream, good-time, picnic sort of
Christian work. Happiness is the
Christians reward and a good time
may be a part of It.; but a fiabby
faith and sickly sentimentalism
will never reach this worlds needs.
These materials will never stand the
test of hardship, encouragement
and temporary defeat"

Radcliffe Tells Graduates
Of Fairmont Seminary.

In New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning, the
graduates of Fairmont Seminary at
tended the service in cap and gown.
DIR. Wallace Kadcliffe, pastor,
preached on The Teacher Come
from God" and said in part:
Christ cannot be dismissed AS a
myth or historic legend 1t is not
enough to paint his picture or sing
his virtues-Christianity is more
than courtesy or intellectualism.
His authority is outstanding.
His is a divine audacity. He does
not argue. He asserts. The per-
sonal pronoun is distinctive-"But !
say"-if He is not God He is an
insane egotist. His personality
glows and burns through His life
and words-He is the word of God.
The Man of Nazareth is the Divine
Voice made audible, the Divine Face
made visible, the Divine Thought
made incarnate. Annihilate this
truth and you destroy Christianity
and all that it means for. humanity.
The denial poisons all theological
thought. Doctrinal' poison is not
fatal because You cali 1t scholar
a.lip.'
He teaches that man Is some
thing more than stomach. TIE ach-
ing for manhood, His work liz for
spirit against form. affection
against ceremony. He paints the
purest and most enduring Ideals.
HE gave a new impulse--loye-
something the philosopher had
never thought of, the solution of
all problems. the light for all dark
ness. the healing for all disease,
the interpreter for all mystery. the
strength for all struggle and resur-
rection for any DEATH"

Americas Foes at Home
Greater Menace Than
Army from Overseas,
Says Seattle Pastor.

"America's foes at home are more
to be feared than any from over
the water" said DIR. Mark A. Mat
thews. of Seattle, Washington, in
his sermon yesterday morning at
the First Congregational Church.
Referring to the paganisp of to-
day, he said. "Materialism is every
where rampant. You speak of
Americas foes-they are not be-
yond the seaside not be deceived,
they are here in our very midst,
in our schools and colleges, sup
ported by. the taxes from our own
pockets.
THE great foe of America is the
little college professor peeping
through a big volume on socialism.
Compared with him the unkempt
soap-box ranter of the East Side is
a harmless nonentity.
Another foe is the library shelf,
filled with socialistfc and tnfideI
works, leading men on, not to the
mountain tops of truth, but down
into thu bogs and quagmires of de-
fusion and sophistry,
The great solvent for the per-

REFORM URGED
Women in Virginia Plants
Suffer from Unsanitary
Conditions.

More rigid enforcement of laws
regulating woman labor in virginia
tobacco plants and in peanut sort
ing factories was urged In report
issued yesterday by the Woman's
Bureau of the Labor Department..
The report was based on sur
vey conducted in cooperation with
the state Bureau of Labor and In
dustrial Statistics, at the request OF
Gov. westmoreland Davis.
Plants were Investigated in Rich
mond. Petersburg. Danville, South
Boston, Lynchburg, Bedford. Char

Culpeper, Salem. Martinsville and
Fielddale. rs..
Thousands Of women working in
tobacco plants or sorting peanuts
in Virginia factories. the report
states, have no facilities for wash
ing, no place to eat their lunch ex-
cept in the dusty workroom. and
when they sit down at all have only
stools or boxes for seats, although
Nearly half the women in Virginia
work 10 hours a day and over 81
hours a week, it was found.
Most of the factories were found
to have very unsatisfactory sani-
tary conditions. in many cases the
women having no place to wash, al
though often they were working on
food products where cleanliness
was very necessary. One of the rea-
sons for the high labor turnover in
Virginia was said to be the un-
satisfactory conditions in the fac
tories which lead the women to GO
from one place of employment to
another, in search of pleasanter
surroundings and work.
The Women's Bureau recon-
mended that higher standards be
established either through specific
laws or through legislation empow-
ring the State Bureau of Labor and
Industrial Statistics to regulate
conditions of employment and that
one or more women be appointed
in the State bureau with authority
to investigate conditions and en-
force the laws.
