MAJESTY OF ALPS
LIKENED TO GODS
Chicago Preacher in Park Ave.
nue. Church Gives Lesson
Of His Tour.

Tho Rev. DR.. Charles Gilkey OF the
Hyde Park Baptist Church Of Chicago.
preaching on What Is in Religion" told
the congregation OF the Park Avenue
Baptist Church yesterday that q parallel
to It's principles and characteristicso could
be found In tho sensations OF q tourist
viewing for the frst time the high peaks
Of the Alps. DR.. 0iikey described his
trip through Switzerland last year. CIV
ing his impressions.
Like the mountains. DR.. Gilkey said i,
religion does not need to make noise
to be impressive. Neither is II made up
completely OF symbolism or supersti-
tion, but It Is as real as reality itself.
Religion and faith may be clouded tenn
porarily. as tho peaks OF the Alps by
passing wreaths Of vapor. but like the
peaks, religion Is still there. even though
not always perceptible or understand
able.
There are many persons. legions, Or.
Gilkey said, 'who in some crisis look
to religion for help and II they do not
find immediate response and relief 5oia
disbelievers. They do not stop to test
their present perplexity by their past ex-
perience, and they feel that because
-
power Of God It does not exist and all
religion Is symbolism and little else.
There are nevertheless the moments
Of insight into religion. These may come
often or they may come once In a mans
lifetime There are few words to ex-
press these moments, although ordinary
phraseology calls them conversion.
For tho days the mountaineer is able
to view the golden peak OF the Jungfrau
there arc possibly twice as many when
tho sight is hidden by the mist. yet he
knows 1t II there. So those persons who
cannot have insight at .once into the
mysteries Of religion and the wonder OF
Almighty God should also know that the
wonder Is there, even though not per
ceivab able.
"As the massive mountain Of the Alpi
is the dominating force upon the lives
Of those about It and even upon those
living thousands of miles away, so re-
ligion is the dominating force upon rIias
kind. Tho mountain peak attracts the
mists and clouds from the far on Med
iterranean and through them makes
snow, which in turn IL transformed into
the water which runs all railroads in
Switzerland. THO same waterways travel
downward and are used again TO gen
crate powcr. - make the beautiful seen
cry which attrAgts thousands OF tourists
whose money Is the main source OF the
prosperity of the country.
Like the tourist who feels the urgs
70 climb TO the summit Of the peak. the
man In religion must have the help OF q
ruide. No heights either on the noun
tain or In religion can be reached UNTIL
by hard days of practice. the muscles
become hardened to stand the climb.
No climb Ia successfully accomplished
without the aid OF the guide who has
been there before. and so It 10 win
