Masterpieces Of Art Were
Inspired by Life Of Christ,
DR.. Whitley Tells His Con-
gresation.

Tho best to be found. In art has
been inspired by the life of our Sa-
yior." said the Rev. DIR. Earle Will
fiey. preaching on Christ In Art" at
the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church last night.
The great painters Of the Re-
naissance we're inspired TO their
greatest productions by deeds In the
life of Christ The world can never
fully pay the debt II owes to the
fathers of the Italian art and to a
number of modern painters. for
their marvellous conceptions OF the
life of Jesus Their masterpieces
provide liberal education in Bible
knowledge. These pictures all tell
a story as well as portray the most
interesting and important episodes
in the life of our Lord. This story
Is both mythical and pathetic = but
1t is always a story of solemnity
when fully understood.
These great paintings are often
reproduced in church windows and
copies of them are found in count
less homes. They give an impress
sion of grandeur and beauty that Is
inimitable. and not to be found In
any other source. They carry a
message that is inspiring and up
lifting. These noble works of art
should be carefully studied by all
Bible students for a complete
knowledge Of the wonderful inter-
pretations of Christ's life on earth
which have been portrayed on can
vas"
The sermon was illustrated by
colored pictures of the works OF
Raphael. Michael Angelo. Leonardo
da Vinci. Munchaschy and others.
DR.. Wiley commented briefly on
each picture as II was shown.

Modern Science Convinces
Us Of the Reasonableness
OF the Resurrection, De-
clares DR.. Charles Wood.

'on this Easter morning II be-
hooves us to take counsel Of our
hopes and examine what 10 in US.
Resurrection s.not only not incred-
ible but Is Inevitable" was the mes
sage delivered by DR., Charles Wood
to q large congregation at the
Church Of the Covenant yesterday.
Our fears sometimes persuade us
the miracle OF resurrection is in
credible. False hopes are dangerous.
but false fears are equally danger
ous." said DR.. Wood. Science no
longer tells US resurrection 10 i'm
possible. Modern science has demon
strated that all matter Is imperish-
able. but pessimists tell us the brain
secretes thought and thought per-
ishes with death, even though the
matter contained in the body Is i'm
perishable. The modern view Is the
brain merely transmits thought Just
as the telegraph wire transmits a
message. 1t was once thought that
II the wires were taken away there
could be no message. But the wires
were taken away and we have the
wireless message. 1t 10 altogether
possible that after the brain which
transmits thought be taken away
thought will still remain" he con-
tinued.
Passing from a consideration of
fears. DR.. Wood discussed the basis
for hope of Immortality. when we
consider our hopes, resurrection be-
comes inevitable" he said. 1T is
inevitable, first because temporal
existence is inadequate. Man Is the
only creature upon earth for whom
this existence is insufficient The
beasts and all the lesser animals
have their every want supplied, but
there Is no spot in this world where
the longings and aspirations OF
man can find full expression. And
for this reason we are convinced
a fuller existence will follow this
life and we will be given an op-
portunity to become more perfect.
Another reason for believing resur-
rection inevitable Is found in one
word, God. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve in the reasonableness of God
without having faith in immor-
tality."
Back of all this" said DR.. Wood.
in closing, Stands the picture of a
Risen Christ and His promise to US
that though we shall descend into
the tomb even as He did. We shall
also be lifted up to Heaven as He
was exalted. This Is the picture
which should be uppermost In your
minds this morning"

Sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
Those Who Keep Com
mandments Are Assured
Immortality, New York
Minister Declares.

Character is the pledge of con-
tinuity. Goodness can never die
asserted the Rev. DR.. Albert p.
Fitch, OF New York. at the First
Congregational Church yesterday.
He declared the modern concep-
ton Of Immortality TO be quite diff
ferent from that entertained by
Christ Easter means to most peo-
pie either a memory or q hope,
something that happened in the
past to which they look back or
something that will happen in the
future. after they are dead" he said.
ITO Jesus, however, Immortality
was not future hope or a past
memory, but a present possession.
1t was a certain quality Of human
experience, evidently not physical,
because we know there Is no physi-
cal continuity of life, but IL was
moral. Such qualities as honor.
loyalty, unseNshaess and. maenan-
imity-these. said Jesus. do not be-
long in the time world. They tran
scend 1T II you have cultivated
these qualities, you have won eter-
nal life"
Summing up the human traits
which are immortal in the single
word goodness" DIR. Fitch said |:
Goodness Is the guarantee Of eter-
nal life. because goodness Is the
chief element which man can un-
derstand in the God life. The good
man knows nothing evil can happen
in this world or the next It is this
quality which has made Socrates,
Plato. Aristotle and other philoso-
pliers immortal"
DR.. Fitch quoted Christs reply to
the young mans query: Master,
what can I do to gain eternal life ?'
as evidence Of His conception Of i'm
mortality. He reminded his con-
gregation that Jesus told the ques-
tioner that IL he had kept She COM
mandments. he had already gained
the eternal life he sought.

Paris Women
WedrMdnnish
Garb at Races
Skirts Shorter, Carriers
Clean With Jewels at
Anteuil.
BY CATHERINE GRATH.

Paris. April 4.-This afternoons
brilliant race meet at Auteuil
brought q new sensation: Eighty
per cent Of the women wore eye
glasses. jauntily stuck In the right
eye; also. walking sticks. thick
gloves. tailor made suits cut in Sc
we're masculine lines and low heels.
1t was another demonstration of the
return Of the mannish type in wom-
ems apparel.
There was one concession to fem
mime coquetry. however. Skirts were
generally a few inches shorter than
heretofore, revealing the entire knee
faultlessly enclosed in priceless silk
stockings kept in place by garters
adorned with flowers and in some
cases, with jewels.
Autos Carry Liquors.
The whole Bois de Boulogne was
turned into an immense auto park.
Most women drove their own cars.
men in the latest type
of touring cars which do credit to
their reputation as travelling bars"
installed between the
front and rear seats are three ma
hogany cupboards containing every
ina ginable kind of refreshing bev-
erage, from champagne to sodas and
from rare liquors to iced gin. In
short, there was everything to sat
isfy the most particular connoisseur.
The new type of cars is exceedingly
popular; one of them brought 150,-
900 francs (normally. S3o,000) today.
Not a few Of the women present
today carried parrots on their left
held captive by tiny gold
chains connecting one of their
birds legs to the owners wrist. The
masculine effect of the new spring
fashions was generally criticised by
the smart set" as too simple. and the
general view Is the straight tailor
made garments soon will be re-
placed by more elaborate creations.
Ambassador Wallace Attends.
Numerous parties were given at
the Ritz and other rendezvous Of
smart society before and after the
races. Ambassador and Mrs. Wal
lace and Joseph c. Grew. recently
appointed Minister to Denmark.

fashionable gathering. while Am
bassador and Mrs. Davis and Lord
Derby were the guests of Mr.. and

from participating in the gayetie5

are reports that the duchess Is
busily engaged collecting a mar

twenty trunks will hardly suffice

Christ Is Assurance Of I'm
mortality, Dr.. Randolph
Asserts in Easter Morn
ing Sermon. l

Christ II the assurance of i'm
mortality" asserted the Rev. DR..
Herbert F. Randolph at the Foun-
dry Methodist Episcopal Church
yesterday morning.
In answer to the question did
Jesus make any contribution
worthy Of our attention and ac-
ceptance to the belief in life be-
yond the graveT DR.. Randolph
said: I'VE may sum It all up, so far
as this revelation is concerned. in
three simple propositions - First,
Christ has confirmed the hope of
Immortality; second, Christ has
greatly enriched the thought Of i'm
mortality; third, Christ has vastly
enhanced the power of immortal
ity."
THE Immortality which seemed
demanded by the nature of man and
by the character OF. God is assured
by the resurrection OF Christ" con-
tinued DIR. Randolph, "and therein
as this. The dear lads who fell in
such multltudes have not perished.
Death is not a mere .cul de sac. 1t
is rather passageway. There
are sweet fields beyond the flood.
We say 1t because God is our
Father. We say II because our
souls demand IL. We say IL be-
cause Christ has experienced II.
This 1t is that makes our Easter
day the anniversary of the greatest
hope in the world"
Speaking of Christ's enrichment
Of the thought of Immortality, he
said: Enrich the idea of immortal
ity and you shall have Joy and
glory in its compass. and also the
possibility of woe and anguish
That is what Christ has done. He
has heightened and deepened i'm
mortality. He has made IL. more
glorious than ever before, but He
has also made it more dreadful
than ever before. He has filed II
for the finally penitent with an
agony Of remorse that is appalling
and He has filled 1t for every be-
lieving heart with a boundless bliss
that Is beyond compare"
Discussing his third proposition,
DR.. Randolph said: Christ ha
vastly enhanced the power Of i'm
mortality. All great hopes that men
have entertained have a certain
power in them. Men are always
nodded by their hopes. But IL Is
indeed strange and singular that, OF
all the great hopes men have en-
tertained. few have been so power
less out of Christ as the universal
hope of Immortality. The idea was
powerless among the ancients."

The longer the allies default in
their interest, just that much great
or will be the post war burden Of
taxation on the people, and just that
much higher will be the cost Of liv-
ing In this country. Historically It
has been proved that proportion
ately as taxes increase the cost Of
living goes up, no matter how the
taxes are levied, and that converse
ly, when taxes go down the cost OF
living will go down.
Loaning to foreign governments
now has been brought virtually to q
stop. Except for the food loan to
Austria and Poland, 1t will not be
renewed whatever the demands
upon us may be for the people and
Congress have expressed their op-
position to further foreign loans.
From the above brief outline, II
can be seen that the government
faces q tremendous problem. II
must bring its outgo within its In
