IN REORGANIZATION
Secretary Olson of Missionary Asso-
citation Makes An
nouncement.

Plans for a s25.00O.000 campaign to
| United States in the principles of
| iAmericanism were announced today
| by David E. Olson. secretary of the
International Christian Missionary
Association, who is here to inaugurate
the drive in the east.
At present the institution has build
| ings erected or in the course of erec-
ton at Minneapolis, Mimi: Seattle.
Wash; Eugene, Ore; San Francisco,
Calf. and st. Louis. Mo.
With the proceeds from the cam
; paign it is intended to equip and es-
| tablish schools for foreigners at vir-
tually every large port of entry in
prise the addition of New York city.
New Orleans and Quebec. Canada, to
| the cities already housing colleges
for foreigners with the purpose of
educating them in the system of gov
l.ernment of this country. Seven thou
sand foreigners would be able to re-
ceive an education annually if the
campaign is successful, Mr.. Olson said.
The schools would be conducted
along Christian lines, but would be
non -sectarian. The Bible would be
taught to the students, with other les
sons in English language and gram
mar. history and geography.
The present plan is to give the en-
trants a work day of four hours, and
in return a period of study and board
and rooms. In this manner those
reaching the country illiterate would
be able to go out into the business
world with .-sHEficient education to
guarantee intnovability against the
lectures of the radical socialists and
bolshevsits.
Mr.. Olson stated that IS per cent of
the industries of the United States
were in the control of emigrants or
aliens. and that if every one of these
left his position at the same time as
his fellows. the country would face a
situation where the industries of the
country would not only be crippled.
but paralyZed.
1.-The country is conducting it's
playhouses on smoldering yolca-
noes" declared Mr.. Olson today. The
situation is admittedly serious, but
will not be recognized until the
American people are brought face to
face with the results. The emigrant
can be educated and we can do it. 1
am an emigrant myself. I love this
country and I want every emigrant
| coming here to have at least as good
a chance and. If possible. more of a
chance as myself"

"SIN OF INGRATITUDE,"
 SERMON BY DR. BROADY


 Delivering what many members of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church say was his best sermon of the year to an audience that filled the church, Dr. J. NJ. Broadly took for his text yes terday morning Psalms 1879. "He brought me forth also in large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me-
 Dr. Broadly said that in his opinion. of all the sins in the world, lying, stealing, covetousness. lust evil speaking. idolatrv ami of a score of others. ingratitude was the worst Tt sends a panE irto the heart of God and chills the channels of re- deeming grace" said the speaker. "On the other hand. gratitude is the mark of a great soul It unlocks the riches of the eternal and opens the flood gates of resurces of the universe"
 The minister then discussed the life of David and his sons of gratitude and glory to God for his bower. He mem toned that Martin Luther had come from a coal mine to the pulpit and had revolutionized religion that Billy Sunday had come ffcm the cab of a railway engine in the northwest to be the greatest evangelist in the world : that E. H. Hartman. the great rail- road magnate, had begun as day lahorer for railroad: that Pike Powers had left prison to go to Con- gress: that Lincoln was a man of sterling character and that these men had found some secret to please God, ane that secret was rratefulness.
 q once heard a man who had begun as a deck hand but who now owns ocean steamships by the dozens say that he could identify every one of the really successful business men of America with church work or work for humanity. This man dared his audi ence to call out any of the great firms of the United States and said tha- if d single one was called that was not active in Christianity he would sit eown. Someone called out Quaker Oats It was explained that H. p Crowell president was head of the Moody Bible Institute
 Another said Arrow band collars. He was told that Mir. Cluett way a director of Y. NJ c. A. work for twenty five years and a teacher in a Bible class.
 'Ifuyler Candy Company was next Fuyler was great supporter of the water Street Mission founded by Jerry McCaullev
 standard Oil Company was next. It was claimed that John n. Rock efeiler was contributor 10 church work long before he made his fortune and he and I is son now donate millions yearly hoth to education and to other ac- tivities
 Baldwin Locomotive Company. W. w, Baldwin of Philadelphia is great contributor to evaneelism in the Pres bvterian Church there al well as else- where"
 The speaker cla-med that these firms had grown throush their grati- tude to God and that thev orospered because they helped mankind
 "The prosperous r7an is the man who gives something back to God,'' he concluded.

GOLD OF THE FATHERS"
 SERMON BY DIR. MACSPORRAN

At the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning Dr. J. A. MacSpor ran took his text from the Book of Kings: And it came to pass in the fifth year of King Rohoboam that Shishak, King of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and he took the shields of gold which Soloman had made. And King Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass
 In adapting this text to the life of today, Dr.. MacSporran said in part;
 The man who can help us today is the man who knows the historical background of our problems, who knows from a study of human expert ence the nature of the forces at work in our midst. The educated man is at home in any century. He knows the

who hide their defeats from the gap ing, curious eyes of the outside world. They keep their colors flying when all the golden treasures of life have been wrested from them. They cover up all traces of their losses and de- feats. No outsider can see the des- perate economies they practice in secret. Polish pride you say? It Is. the finest spiritua heroism. Their treasures have gone and they know it, but the fighting spirit is still there and up go their shields of brass and they are not vanquished.
 Tt is the other kind of Rehoboam I am dealing with, the modern recon strutcionists who are making shields

significance of what is passing as no one can who knows only today and nothing of the yesterdays. So the les sons of the text are not so remote from the hopes and anxieties of the present time.
 "Rehoboam isn't much of a man, but he is blood brother to all of us. To hide his loss and save his pride he made cheap limitations of the price- less treasures he had inherited. He set up brazen substitutes for the real things the enemy had taken away from him. Rehoboam is no longer an in- dividual. he is a type. He represents a multitude no man can number
 There are a class of people, how ever who do what Rehoboam did to whom I lift my hat. I refer to those

 as Johnson race would, be betwa. tie aidians and Yankees But even btss. se the season started, the blight was on the New Yorkers-and it's grown worse since.
 Frank Baker refused to report With out him the infield was immeasurably weakened and the team was minus one of it's punchiest hitters. Then Chick Fewster, who played in phenomenal style at second, was hurt and may never per form as a big leaguer again As a cli- max, Babe" Ruth, the ace of clouting aces, was injured in the opening game at home.
 Baker is probably lost for all time. The same thing is true about Fewster. Ruth will be back soon-but will he be as good as ever-or will the injured side hurt his batting?
 Anyway, there's gloom in Gotham, among those who felt that the anks were almost sure things"
 The Indians have been breezing aloas merrily winning with the expected regu- larity, and fairly crushing all opposition. No harm mas come to them yet. But what will the future bring?

IN OPESTERS picked the uhlfaa.v H U two clubs in baseball to fight it
 out for the American League championship old man jinx already has rendered one hors du combat. Will he grab the other later on-or will he, like the villain in a melodrama, be com pletely foiled?
 No two clubs ever have been made greater targets by an unkind fate than the Yankees and the Indians. At least half dozen times during the past fiji teen of eighteen years each has gone to the April barrier looking like a certain winner. And oftentimes in those years each has looked to have the race sewed up' only to meet misfortune-and utter defeat.
 Back in 1904 the Yankees were making a runaway race of it. Near the flag end of the season they slipped a lttle-but still clung on. And on practically ne last day of the season, when victory in that game meant championship, they lost
 ONE LITTLE SLIP LOSES
 Jack Chesbro moistened the ball a lit tie too much, heaved it placeward-and a wild pitch resulted. A runner scored, the game was lost, the race was lost the championship was lost.
 In the years since then many Yankee team have gone out and started what looked like winning fight. But just when everything seemed rosiest, when everything looked like a ''pennant for the Tanks at last'' somebody broke a leg or an arm. Somebody tossed a tendon out of place, busted a kneecap or was tossed into hospital because of illness.
 And so, no Yankee flag dream ever has come true.
 It's much the same with the Indiarfs. 1o. +t,a LVrh ha1f pat, and all because Bill Hinchman didn't hurry on an infield tap on the last day of the season. If he had it would have been single and the man on third would have scored the winning run. In- stead Bill loafed because he thought no one could get his drive. But Bobby Wal lace, playing short for the Browns that fateful day, made a miraculous stop and his throw nipped Hinchman by a step. and so retired the side, nulled the run which already had gone over the pis-e and tossed Cleveland into defeat.
 That game cost the Indians the chance to participate in the world series.
 In other years-six of them, at least- the Indians were beaten by misfortune Time and again they ran out in front and made 1t look as if they would dis- tance them all. Then came illness, acci- dents-and gloom.
 HEIGHT OF HARD LUCK
 One year the Cleveland club, ten full games in front, went on an eastern swing. When they got back half the regulars were either laid up in hospitals or their homes-and the club was cNt of first place. On another occasion, just when everyone was remarking that "this seems to be the year when the jinx doesn't seem to be bothering the Crew lands, half the infield was put out of commission one day, an outfielder took sick the next day and within a week seven men-including three star pitchers were outtof the battling.
