IN MUCH PRAYER

A declaration that he would send
the radicals to Russia" made by
the Rev. Ernest G.. Richardson. ID. D..
IL. D.. Methodist Episcopal Bishop
OF the Atlanta area, was warmly
applauded by more than 1000 per-
sons. who attended the interde-
nominational open-air services at
Washington Heights last evening.
1t was the largest congregation
which has ever been assembled in
the park for religious purposes. The
big grandstand was filled and many
others stood or sat on the grassy
slope in front Of it.
Bishop Richardson dtclared there
were hundreds Of "undesirables" In
the United States who should be
sent to the land Of Lenin and
Trotzky and never be permitted 10
return. He added there were thou
sands who should be sent there
for six months and then allowed
to come back after they have learn
ed a lesson"
The Bishop differed with thosc
who see in the present -disappoint-
ment Of the world only dark omer
Of something worse TO come. He
said:
I'VE are now living in a disap.
pointed world. During the war al
of the nations Of the earth looked
forward with hope to the time wher
peace would again be on the land
All were confident that then the
things they hoped for would come tS
pass. and they would have nothing
10 wish for"
But. have they7" he asked
Germany and her allies are disap.
pointed. In 1913 they were amonf
the leaders Of the world. They hac
an important part to play in the ac
tions Of the world. for at that time
they were numbered among tn,
greatest nations OF the world. Bu
now. they are disappointed. they are
broken and crushed. and have bu
little voice in the activities or pro
eress Of the world.
THE nations on the winning sid'
are almost as disappointed as tn
losing nations" he declared. Franc,
thought she would be happy If sh'
regained Alsace-Lorraine; Ital,
wanted more land TO spread hersel
in; England wanted to whip Ger
many so that that nation would no
be such a great rival in commercial
activities, and other nations ha,
their desires. Their desires wer
filed, but still they are disappointed
All are confronted with social, eco
nomic and industrial problems whicl
trouble them.
Disappointment Even Here.
Even the people in our own lani
are a little disappointed. Here an
there will be found a man or
woman who has to scratch to max
both ends meet. There are som
. people who are disappointed wit
the government and would have i'm
. provements made. There are othe
I people who would do away with tn
4 government ltogether-would bloy
4 il up. I don't know how many rad
H icals there are in this country. No
body does. I read in a newspape
recently that there were 5000. .0O(
Il There may be that number. Their
i may be more. There may be less.
There are some people who believ
the world is to go. from bad t
\ worse. he said. until God gets dis
II gusted and puts an end to every
+" thing. They base their belief, he as
serted. upon just two OF the 6
4 books Of the Bible. overlooking en-
u tirely the rest Of the book
81 These kind of people" he saiC
pray without believing their pray
n ers will be answered" He refer
red TO the answer OF God when tn
disciples asked him how 10 pral
They did not ask merely for a for
mula, but for the way in which Z
pray. In answer. God said. "Whe
you pray say. Thy Kingdom com,
n Thy will be done. on earth as il
in Heaven" When he said 70 pra
. that way the Bishop declared, h
n meant that their prayers would b
answered. that some day this cart
y will become the same as Heaven.
81 answer was impossible, the preachS
concluded. God would not say
a pray that way.
