Part The Church Will Play In Readjustment Period Told In Two Addresses At Trinity Service

Ideas on the part the church will take in the general readjustment of conditions in this post-war era were outlined by Bishop L. c. Stanford and John w. Wood in the new Trinity cathedral last night when services were held in commemoration of the conservation of the Rt. Rev. John w. Atwood as bishop ofs Arizona The Rt. Rev. l.. C. Stanford is bishop of San Joaquin. and John w. Wood. l.. L. D., is executive secretary of the board of missions, New York. The anniversary sermon was delivered by the Rev. Endicott Peabody, D. D., headmaster of Groton school, at the morning services.
 | Taking as his subject "The | Church's Conception of New Amer ica,' Bishop Stanford said: The world has been expecting 1 change. Instinct brought about this expectation"
 1 Delving back into the history of | the world, the speaker showed how every great change was anticipated and was brought about through the effort of man to obtain greater free | dom. Touching upon present condi- tions which are bringing on new era I he said:
 What the events are which are making this cycle of change we can l not say, because we are too close. But Il our children will probably be able to
 trace accurately the steps we are talk
 ing toward a new mode of living."
 Makes Three Points Predicting that the new era would be dominated by the social idea, Bishop Stanford outlined three con-
 alterations which will place the
 church in the leadership of recon
 structive effort:
 By teaching. preaching and wor-
 ship fix the picture of Jesus Christ
 as a real man whose life will serve
 as an example to dominate the ac-
 tions of self seeking people. Develop social consciousness which
 places human right above property rights and has a passion for socia
 justice
 Become active
 The passive church needs to sex- pect nothing, but the active church will benefit greatly" he advised. Touching upon the necessity of de- yeloping social consciousness tht speaker pictured Russia as a lanC depressed by class war and warned , against giving privileges to one clas: , which are denied to another. 3 Broad social consciousness in I cludes the least fortunate of our peo pie, ne Sa1Q.
 Declaring that this new era mark
 an opportunity for larger social co , operative effort he added that in lik,
 measure it opens up a new source tt
 greater freedom which will draw , more closely together a whole new race into closer bonds. . America is no longer a land O
 homogeneous people," he said. A
 our conditions here have changed th' - people have changed The frontie N days of our fathers are gone. Ther, are few free lands left to draw peopl, of similar tastes and inclinations a.
 in the days of our childhood. Man, nations and races are now represent ed in this country and the church.
 conception of new America is t' merge all into a bond of common fel f lowship."
 F The same spirit of untired effor
 was stressed in the address on "Th N Church's Conception of a New World as delivered by John w. Wood.
 Asserting that the world was large |, and yet smaller the speaker explaine' - the paradox by saying: h "The world is larger in its idea !, and it's wealth of inventions. Blu i. while science has been enlarging an
 developing activities in the world has at the same time made smalle | WOi oCACllNC Has UT OdStl ltlt tuu y of the world together. The world Q
 today, as never before, is one grea
 land. We are now familiar with tn f habits and life of nations which W - never realized existed until a com , paratively short time ago" T To this new world the churc VI comes with the two great messages Love and life. Calling attention t U the fact that hospitals and medicin
 had their inception after Christ re
 vealed the great message of love th
 speaker said:
 This divine message also brougt into the world intellectual enlight
 ment which ultimately brought abol ;. our modern school system"
 With the church as a center of Ioy
 and life, was the prediction, a recon e structed world will be brought to " \. realization of the principle of unit where brotherhood and devotion wi be paramount.
