PALM SUNDAY AT
 THE UNITED CHURCH

Triumph With Tears,' is to be Dr. William Horace Days subject for the Palm Sunday morning service. The vested choir will sing Jerusalem" from FGaaha,' Gourod, and 'rRide On in Majesty Jules Jordan.
 On Palm Sunday, A D., 30, the cf1il- dren and the multitude shouted ho- sanna; the ecclesastics, the rulers and the privileged cursed and were afraid, but Jesus wept. On Palm Sun day, 1920, three hundred years after the coming of the Pilgrims, a similar moral pageant is in progress. Amer ica finds the Son of Man at her gates She must choose between Christ and chaos If she refuse the Christ, she will be overwhelmed in chaos. As the result of the injustice and ignorance she has permitted, there is. social su- per-expFosfve sufficient to destroy every institution she has until not one stone slDaA be left upon another of the great temple of progress and liberty which our fathers built. If she huInAoly receives the Christ she will become the greatest of the ma tions flor she will have dedicated her weaIEh of men and money that ttaIl the families of the earth may be blessed
