BETTER
MODERN WORLD
DR.. Baldwin Says Sanity
Lives Will Help Toward
This End
ASKS MEN TO
REVIEW FAITH

The Rev. Arthur c. Baldwin. pas
tor OF Chestnut Street Baptist
Church, West Philadelphia, was the
speaker at the noon-day Lenten
service in st. Andrews Episcopal
Church today. The Rev. Helm Jones.
pastor OF First Baptist Church,
Philadelphia. who was to have been
the speaker was unable to he pres
ent owing to a recent surgical OPP
GRAFTON on his throat.
DR.. Baldwin spoke on the theme.
"A Message From the Saints Of Cae-
sar's Household" He said In part:
saints are not what some Of us
picture them to he. with halos
around their heads. but they are
red -blooded men and women who
help other men and women. Cae-
sar's household was a small city In
itself in which all the servants set
up a ruler as a sort Of a deity. It
might be thought that beauty would
be a hard thing to and In the midst
OF such slums. but beauty and saints
are found in unexpected places.
THE Apostle Paul, in his writings
says. There were saints in Caesars
household This must have been so
because no one knew more about
saints than Paul did.
Men and women can live a life
that will make other people believe
in God. can imagine some young
man saying. TITS all right talking
about saints. but who could be a
saint where I work." Yet after all
that very hardship Is the test OF real
ism: It Is the opportunity. We do
not 80 much value the flower grown
among so many others in the green
house, but II Is the single flower
growing on the verge OF an ice field,
or desolate coal mine that makes the
lasting impression. Environment
may count for much but one can get
away from II to some extent.
1T is not enough thu; we have
better people in the world. but we
must clean up tho worl. Although
this world is not the nnal one we
should try and make It better
There can come to us. by believing
In God. new courage and power and
greater vision Of life"
Or Baldwin Will deliver the ser.
mon again tomorrow. The Rev. JOS
eph Y. Irwin, pastor OF Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church was ir
charge OF the preliminary services
today. Tho service was largely at

The following appreciation Of

uted today by a friend:
In the death Of Mrs. william r.
Sellers, the community has lost one
OF natures noble women. In her as
sociation with the religious. char
table and social life of the city, she
will be sadly missed. one of her
greatest interests was her close con-
nection with Westminster Presby-
terian Church. in being the treas
urer for the past twenty-five years
Of its Women's Missionary Society.
She was a valued trustee Of the Del
aware Hospital for thirty-one years.
to which institution she gave of her
ample means and service. She took
an active part in the work OF the
New Century Club being for many
years on the Board of Managers. as
we'll as a member of the New Cen
tury Club Corporation. As a vice
president OF the Garden Club, she
was a most interested member, and
as one of the Board of Managers of
the Colonial Danes she was always
keenly alive to the value of patriotic
service.
Mrs. Sellers saw life as service
and she was not disobedient to the
Heavenly Vision. A. w. NJ"

BRINTON'S SHOT
WINS FOR PALS
Team Standing.

Basketball In the Grammar School
Athletic League reached a climax
yesterday afternoon in the High
school gymnasium when the mere
difference OF one point decided that
there would be a championship
series. In one Of the scrappiest games
OF the entire season, School No. "a

score of "A to 13. In another fast
game No. 2S defeated No. 4. II to s.

they would not be downed and in an
extra period with but a half minute

favor Of the Green and White. How
ard Brinton, from an out-of-bound
pass from Andy Paulin, dropped In a
two pointer from the field for the
Washington street bridge crew and
the game ended IA to 13 in favor Of
the "Reds." The widest enthusiasm
prevailed during the extra three min
utes as No. l rallied considerably in
the second half and looked like a
winner. It was anybody's game up
to the last half minute and the
kind that held the audience in a
nervous frenzy. but Brinton saved
the day for No. "a. when the game
ended the several hundred girls and
BOYS from the latter school nearly
raised the roof of the gym with
their cheering.
The REDS" started strong, Brin-
ton drawing first blood when he
dropped a neat one In from the field.
A foul goal by Ellingsworth and an
other one by Brinton tailed -four
points for "a before Irons OF No.

up enough trouble for them in the
first stanza TO keep shelledy and
Carey from caging some well In
tended shots. Carey scored one from
the field and a foul goal, for 2S and
SANDY" Wilson performed the same
feat for No. 4, the half ending 20 5.
