SUNDAY PROGRAMS DEAL WITH
COMING CONFERENCE AND ITS
PROBABLE EFFECT ON WORLD
At five OF MoscoW's churches spec
dal attention was given yesterday, at
either the morning or evening SER
vice, to the approaching conference
for the limitation of armaments All
each of the churches the attendance
was large, indicating the great in
terest in the conference, which
has for it's aim the elimination of war
fare from the earth. 1t is under
stood that other churches of the city
will direct the attention of their con-
gregatiOnS to the great world con-
ference, either at services during the
week, or at next Sundays services.
The Sigma Nu fraternity wor-
SHIPPED at the Methodist Episcopal
church and forty-fiYe young men of
the fraternity were given favored
places in the auditorium at the morn
ing service. The congregation over
flowed the main auditorium, and
filled up the back Sunday school
room. The choir rendered especially
fine music and Prof Chas. e. Cotton
rendered an especially impressive
solo. At the conclusion of the SER
vices thirteen new members united
with the church.
DR.. Perry preached on the subject
sOur World Problem" He very
strongly advocated the possibility Of
q civilization without war.
The text was lisa. Pa. "and they
shall beat their swords into plow-
shares, and their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation neither shall they
learn war any more
A few of the points of the sermon
follow:
During the war we maintained the
morale of our soldiers by raising the
slogan "a war to end war but now
we are almost led to wonder whether
the fighting of the Great War will
have anything to do with ending war.
another war would be the most
deadly, in fact almost if not quite
uncomfortable.
"The deadliness of the last one
would be as nothing.
"Nations must learn to be moral
and spiritual as well as individuals.
We must repudiate the doctrine that
the state is everything and can do no
wrong. Too long have we said that
it is all right for nation to murder,
rob, steal, be bully and a slave
holder.
'sWe must do away with secret
diplomacy. 1T is against the prin-
sciples Of Christ
"There is nothing covered that
shall not be revealed; neither hid
that shall not be known.
"Therefore whatsoever We have
spoken in the darkness shall be heard
in the light; and that which is spoken
in the ear in closets shall be pro-
claimed upon the house tops.
"When all nations do as does the
u. S. and as Great Britain is
now beginning, namely, let the world
know all about their treaties, then we
may be sure that we will be nearer
world peace.
"Then there must be a reduction
of armament One first class battle
ship would build three or four Uni
versities like the University of Michi-
gan with thirty-five buildings and an
accommodation for 10000 students.
The United States is now starting on
a program of sixteen such ships.
"The Christian men OF every COM
munity should be wide awake. All
the influence of our country should
be brought to bear. A few millions
given to send missionaries or bring
natives to this country for a Christ
ian education, will do more to protect
the nation than tens of millions put |
into battleships."
Special Service at Christian Church
At the Christian church special
service was held in the evening, given
