noon service yesterday. He does
not like it, and said so somewhat
forcefully.
1--WE won't let the American
flag be subservient to that of any
nation on earth" he said, in way
that showed his audience exactly
where he stood on this question.
"England hogged the League
Of Nations and made the Ameri-
Can flag subservient to it, but
but when it was put up to Amerl-
"a. tlns COUNTRY said nothing do
ing
"Wc don't intend to play second
/ ndGlc to Germany. England OF
any other nation on this earth
Mr.. Sundays reference to tho
League Of Nations was apart
from his prepared sermon ant
was brought up by him after
reference to the Monroe Doctrine
and cts 28 words, that have kept
this hemisphere free for 1CC
years. -
Mr.. Sunday also took a few
moments aside from his text to
defend the Y NJ G. A. from tho
criticism which was raised against
it during the war activities. Tho
Y. M. c. A., in his opinion, did tho
greatest work OF any such agen
during the war.
Il know who it is that's knock
ing the Y. NJ c. A." he said
"Tve got the goods on them anc
I'm going to turn loose on then
some of these days"
'How to Help Others" was tn,
subject of his sermon and thruou'
ran suggestions and ideas, will
some experiences and their re
suits, that would help to promote
personal work III the cause o
Christ. His text was the same
that he has used once before: "H'
that Winneth Souls Is Wise;
from Proverbs.
Mr.. Sunday urged church mem
bers to work for souls in the sam'
way that politicians work, by ;
personal canvass that reaches ev
cry person in the community.
"DO you canvass your block t.
show who belongs to the churc'
and who does not?" he asked
"The politicians do that, but tn
church members do not. Th
politicians do it in order to &c
the people out to vote, but th'
church won't do it even to kee
the devil out"
Mr.. Sunday urged family pray
er. better knowledge of the Bi
bic. love for the souls of men an
women and a desire to see ther
saved, as essential to winnin
souls. The people who would /
approached were claSsed by hir:
in five divisions which will tax,
in every man and women in Gin
cinnati, America and the world.
These Classifcations, in hi
opinion, we're:
First, those who cannot atten(
church. Some have to work IL
hotels, restaurants, in your home
on the railroads, steamships,
certain institutions that have to
keep going on the Sabbath the
same as on any other day. That's
one kind.
Second. those who can but do
not. l feel like hanging my head
n shame to stand on a platform
beneath the Stars and Stripes and
tell you we've got seventy million
in the United States that are not
in any church. Seventy millions.
We're a Christian nation at that
Those who can attend church but
do not There are multitudes
that never darken church door;
the only time they are ever in
there is when they die and they
take them in for funeral, or they
have to go around there as a pail
bearer.
''Third, those who can attend
church and do and are not moved
by the preaching. Some people
come out of curiosity. I don't
know perhaps you may be here
for that purpose this afternoon.
Sornctudy has vomited lie in
yo,s ears All right. If you be-
lieve lie and come aroond and
hear the truth, that's all right. I
don't give a picayune why you
are here. I've got more respect
for you because you are here than
I would have if you didn't come.
1t doesn't make any difference
what brought you here.
Fourth, those who can attend
church and do and they are con-
victed but they are not converted.
There isn't man or woman that
