CHURCHES PRAY FOR
COMING CONFERENCE
Union Meeting Held Sunday
By Presbyterian and Meth
odist Congregations

Significant of the keen interest and
concern of all Christian people in the
success Of the coming limitation of
armaments conference this week in
Washington, the national capital.
were some of the services held in Mt.
Vernon churches and elsewhere on
Sunday. In some form of expression
it was the theme giving inspiration to
almost every sermon delivered.
On Sunday evening the Presbyter.
ian and Methodist congregations
united in service held at tsthe Pres
byterian church. The sermon was
given by the Rev. A. d. Mink, pastor
of the Gay street M. Z. church, his
subject being "The Pacific Christ"
This sermon was a study of disarma.
mem from the spiritual standpoint.
For his text, the minister selected and
read two passages, Luke 2:14 and
Isaiah 9:6.
The Importance of the coming con.
ference that is to open its sessions
next Friday in the city OF Washington
was indicated by the declaration that
there has been no event OF equal i'm.
portanco since the close of the world
war All the eyes of the world and
it's hopes, its aspirations and it's pray>
ers are being turned toward Washing,
ton. Seeking to find the cause or the
source of the inspiration for this con.
ference. the minister found it in that
historic occasion when the angels an.
nounced the birth of Christ to the
wondering shepherds upon the hill
sides near Bethlehem, nearly 1000
years ago. 1t was then that the heav-
enly chorus announced the advent OF
the Prince of Peace. The coming con-
ference would be a perfect impracti-
cability, the minister continued, were
it not for that event which transpired
there on the hills of Bethlehem 1000
years ago
Characterizing Jesus Christ as the
'pacific Christ" emphasis was laid at
tho same time that there is no ef-
feminancy to be found in the charac-
ter of Jesus. He was rather the bold.
est, bravest character in all history.
No minister in Mt. Vernon today
would dare to inveigh against the
scr:bcs and Pharisees as He spoke
against them. Not one of them would
dare to assume the positions that He
assumed. But while Jesus Christ was
bold >and brave, militarism was the
thing farthest removed from his char.
acter
There is danger in limiting Gods
plan but we are SO disposed and in
clined to do. We would limit the holy
One of Israel. We have no right tc
place our individual Interpretation up.
on the text. Jesus Christ is absolute
ly universal.
In this connection the minister
briefly indicated twofold attribute
of Jesus. He is intensely individual
and He is greater than the individual
All of Jesus cannot come into an in.
dividual or to one church, for He is
greater than any individual or any
one church.
Tho place of Jesus Christ must be
recognized at the conference, or the
plans for it all will come to naught
The peace conference at Paris failed
because no recognition was given the
Son of God there. In our national and
international life, there must be a
clear recognition of the universal
Christ.
