scented certain business classihcations
The last man down was e, w. Harris,
who was declared the winner OF the
contest.
Another feature, also for the purpose
of getting tho members better acquainted

business connections, consisted OF call
ing members in pairs and having each
tell the others full name and his busi-
ness classification.

MORAL STAMINA
NEED OF NATION
Third Lecture Given at SIS
Peter and Paul Cathedral.

In the third of series Of sermons de-
Nvered last night at SIS. Peter and Paul
cathedral in connection with the annual
Knights Of Columbus retreat, the Rev.
Bdwin Roman attributed much Of the un-
rest in the world today to lack of moral
and religious training
"CamOufage," he said, "is q word that
came into prominence during the late
war. 1t meant deceving the enemy. 1t
has come to be accepted today as q good
English word, and the art of deception
In our time reaches its highest point In
the social standard. The pauper tries to
initiate the millionaire in dress and In
manner OF living, and passing along the
streets of our cities, enc cannot be dis
tingulshed from the other.
This spirit OF camou1ags and decep-
ton arises from three sources: from ma
terial prosperity, wrongly directed and
used; from love OF comfort and ease. and
from religious Indifference, utter lack of
the knowledge OF Gods laws. The CAP
italist is profiteering the farmer is
complaining Of the high cost of produc-
ton and low market, and the Iaboring
man complains of the high cost of liv-
Ing and low wages, and In the end the
complaints of all these elements are
saddled on to the public
Only one-third Of the people Of the
United States profess any religion at all.
We do not have the moral stamina and
spirit Of our forefathers, and as result
We are rapidly deteriorating into an
ease-loving, comfort seeking nation OF
twentieth century pagans. We refuse
to think for ourselves, and as a re-
suit Of that we have the wild theories
Of the parlor Bolshevist foisted upon us
and advances as the theories and ideals
Of the American people. This condition
cannot be changed as long as two thirds
Of our people permit themselves to re-
main In total ignorance OF the simplest
dOctries of Jesus Christ"
The sermons Will continue throughout
the week each evening until Saturday,
and are open to all men.
