DIR. BRADDAN breaches ELo-
oUENT SERMON AT BEREAN
CHURCH, SUNDAY, MARCH II
By Dr.. n. A. Majors

Sunday morning the writer attend
ed services at Berean Baptist Church
We trust that Rev. Robinson of ST
Marks NJ. E. Church will take not,
that we were at church anyhow.
We had often heard Rev. VIM. S
Braddan preach, and we knew that hi.
sermon would be instructive, but W.
had never heard the Berean Baptist
choir conducted by our friend Mr.
Marlborough, assisted by Miss Estells
Bonds at the pipe organ. There is
something very striking at this
church, the congregation is we'll sus-
tanned, and good religious fellowship
seems to abide in the hearts of all.
Then there is the quality and status,
and personnel, and, well perhaps mag
netism of the minister in charge. To
say the least, DR.. Braddan is out
spoken and free to expound the noble
principles of religion as he sees and be-
lieves in it. For thirty minutes perhaps
he spoke eloquently, but simply, on the
subject, IS. o. S." and wove the
sacred fabric richly with the siIken
threads of Redeemer's love. He told
OF an incident which took place while
on shipboard en- route to France. For
hours he said their ship lay nineteen
miles of the harbor, and the men
were disturbed and wanted TO know
the cause. He himself approached the
captain of the vessel to ascertain the
reason for their waiting at anchor so
long. The captain replied: I'VE can
not 60 farther without the ships pi-
lot. The sea is a vast checkerboard
OF mines, and no one knows the way
through the perils of this deep sea but
the pilot" The story was apropos-l
bejeweled the eloquent sermon and
was the forerunner of a plea made 10
the unrighteous that was both touch
ing and pathetic, with an invitation
such as one very seldom hears.
At Berean everything goes with
-loeklike regularity. The clerk was
'ery easily heard in reading his an
louncements, or expressing the wish
IT those who came forward to unite
themselves with the church. The col
eet1on was taken without noise or
utter, and the general scenes were
leasing to the eyes of strangers, eaus-
ng one to feel that intelligent en-
'hasis 50 agreeably observed in the
indy expressions on the faces of AT.
If you have never been to Berean .
'hureh on Sunday morning you have '
aissed good deal. 5
The choir sang sveetly, reverently, :
nd just bit over anxious in the ex- !
ression and meditation. ust a bit

 'We have taken steps during the year to kill that most desirable trade by placing a tariff of thirty five cents per bushel, for instance, upon Canadian wheat. By so doing we are antagonizing these neigh bors of the North to the point where they are seriously discuss ing a retaliatory tariff that doubt less would in the ultimate result in tIleir milling their own grain and exporting their flour in competition with our exportable supply, as well aS inviting English and European goods to enter their boundaries, not on even competition with us, but under Q freedom from tariff that would practically put our goods out of competition. By this process we shall have succeeded in antagonfz- ing a good neighbor, we shall have fostered an export competition tha. may in time be exceedingly serious, and we shall have taken away from American industry q huge market that must obviously reduce the in- dustrial earning power, the re- wards of which would constitute buying power for the very agricul- tural products that we are thus at tempting through the tariff to pro tect."

-What is more, at the very mo ment that we are here discussing thismatter, the powerful beet sugar lobby at Washington, with which the so-cal1ed agricultural bloc is said to be in sympathy, is threaten ing that unless the Cuban Congress will agree to pass measures curtait- ing the production of Cuban sugars for the coming year it will insist fin the halls of our Congress in Washington upon an increase of the tariff against Cuban sugars from $1.6O to $200 per hundred pounds.
 'We who pride ourselves upon justice, are crucifying the little Island of Cuba because 1t is within our power so to do. I do not think it adds or. detracts from the argu- ment that probably seventy per cent of the sugar producing properties ip Cuba are American owned, the ets fects upon the Cuban Government and upon the Cuban people are tho same regardless of this fact. We arc placing Cuba where, it seems to me, she must in the ultimate, plead either for annexation, which would take away the burden of her Arneri- can trade taxes, or for complete national freedom, which would en- able her to take foreign imports on the same basis that she would take American imports, in which casa there is every indication that through reciprocal trade relations established with England and Eu- rope she would be able to export to their markets probably close te third of her annual sugar crop
 "If further pressed by those whs would find bounties for their in- dustries through the medium of the American tariff, I am convinced there is no alternative in Cuba but revolt against destruction of her commerce that Is likely to end in armed intervention, the effect of which. from the standpoint of tho American government, think, Is something none of us would care to look forward to.
 "Our exports of manufa ctured products to Cuba amount to ap- proximateIy four hundred million dollars per annum. Shall we, then, through the operation of the tariR in a manner that is unfair, dishon- est and absolutely immoral, permit a condition that will cut off that great market for the American manufacture"
 This question of a fair and equi- table handling of the tariff NIT. Mitchell believes Is one of the most vital problems facing American business in this year of 1922, which he pictures as a year of readjust- 1nent and reorganization. He does not lose sight of other important issues to be sure. Currencies and International exchanges must be stabilized. Prices and wages must be adjusted to each other. The de- fusion of fiat money must be diss1- pated The present governmental control of the railroads must be pus on a more practical working basis
 Nevertheless, he adds in conclu- sion, full prosperity in this country can never be attained until foreign markets are again, available to our products. This, Of course, cannot readily be accomplished under ham, pering and unreasonable tariff laws

 "Congress dare not go before the public of the United States with an offer of a bounty to the corn grower, and much less to the beet sugar grower. but by virtue of our ability through our greater might and the position in which we find ourselves, it has shown itself to De willing to put upon the rack our little brother Cuba, to the end that to the cost of producing sugar in Cuba may be added burden equiv alent to and probably in excess of that cost in order that an uneeo- homie industry of the United States may continue to grow. The consumer of sugar Is thus called upon to pay not only over one and one-haIf cent extra for every pound of Cuban sugar he buys, but the same on every pound of beet sugar as well. The American consumer is obviously not the beneficiary.
