CAN SATISFY ALL
DR.. Brown Discusses in Pulpit
Outlook for the Church.
BY THE VISITOR

THE church today is standing at
the cross roads" the Rev. Lewis
Brown, rector Of St. PauTs Episcopal
Church, declared yesterday during a
sermon on 1.-THE Outlook for the
Church.
Upon the one side is superstition
and on the other intellectual pride, -
he said. ''She hears voices alike Of
patronage and sneering dissent. Her
duty to present an answering front
to all enemies was never more i'm
perative.
''She is here to preach the ever
lasting Gospel of a Crucified Savior.
the only remedy for a sin-sick world.
She is not here to please this or any
other generation, to satisfy insolent
science or placate modernism. She
is not the creature Of policy or
critical persuasion. She speaks the
words of eternal life from the sacred
pages Of the Book of Life.
As she represents the divine Son
Of God so her message is divine in
character and result. Unheeded, the
needed, all the Earring movement Of
insane humanity are dispelled by
Infinite Peace.
THE call of the church is definite.
decisive and curative. Come unto
Nei-means a Christ of pardon and
"a haven Of rest. In her supremacy
alone is there present safety and
future hope. She is the bride of Jesus
Christ, clothed in the garb of
righteousness
There is no present day panacea
for human ills. This is no age for
experiment or iIl-conceived theorizing.
Christ is abundantlv able TO satisfy
all demands and His church can in
clude all classes and conditions Of
men.
"She holds aloft the light which
Eliminates all nations. The least and
the greatest can find shelter within
her spacious walls" DR.. Brown
stated

ATTITUDE FUNDAMENTAL

Mans attitude toward God is the
fundamental thing in life. DIR. C. S.
Gardner of Louisville, Ky, declared
Sunday night in a sermon at the First
Baptist Church.
Gains offering was not refused be-
cause of its form. but because of the
spirit in which he made it," he said.
If man has not the right attitude
toward Cod he Will not have the right
attitude toward his fellow man."

World Today Needs Men

What the world needs today is
men who are willing to carry upon
their shoulders the responsibilities of
life" declared the Rev. Charles H.
Gunsolus before an audience com
posed of men at the Barth NJ. E.
Church yesterday afternoon.
Man has been destined to fulfill
a distinct place in the. economy of
Gods government" he said. Man S
part in life is to bring about the
brotherhood of man and the father
hood of God. This can only be brought
about through the spirit of love and
the practice of the Golden Rule.
Man born in sin is q rebel. a
Stacker, in the sight Of heaven. The
man who can conquer his own spirit
Is greater than he who can take a
city. The first work of man should
be to settle the controversy between
himself and God concerning his SOUL "
he said

IF YOU CAN'T SELL
By H. Addington Bruce


THAR too many statesmen are like Bill
II Smith. ~
Aware that Bill needed work, a
friend introduced him to manufacturer
putting a new article on the market. The
manufacturer gave Bill a city territory, on a
commission basis, with reasonable draw
ing account.
Less than a week later the friends tele-
phone rang. Bill was on the other end.
81 thought Id let you know that I'm
through with that job you were good enough
to get for me-" he announced There S
nothing in it. I haven't made a sale and l
wouldn't make one in year. The things a
gold brick. Nobody wants it,
Don't be fool" the friend counselled.
'The man making that article knows what
he's about. Stick to your job"
"And | know a fivver wnen see one, >"
insisted the sapient Bill. Thanks very much
for what you've done for me, butt quit
right now"
Bills successor made $4,000 in commits
sions the first year.
His second wear he doubled that amount
Today he is the well-to-do head of bust
ness of his own, while Bill, poor Bill, finds
the getting of food and lodging herculean
task.
What was the matter with Bill? Why did
he fail with such possibilities open to him?
For one thing, Bill habitually scowled.
For another, he was forever on the often
siye.
For a third thing, salesmanship meant to
him merely undertaking.
For fourth a logical development from
the third, Bill did not take the trouble really
to familiarize himself with what he was try
ing to sell.
Now, nobody likes a man who comes at
him with scowl. Nobody, least Of all a
buyer, wants to be bulldoZed.
And when, into the bargain, the churlishly
over-aggressive salesman has no clear con-
ception of the merits of the article he car
ries, nobody will take the trouble to listen
to him long.
In fine, though Bill seemingly could not
see this, his failure as salesman due
solely to personality defects. What Bill
needed more than anything else was to know
himself little better-and then start i'm
proving himself.
Which is the great need of most statesmen
who have to acknowledge that they are not
getting results.
In certain cases the trouble undoubtedly is
with the goods the salesman has to offer In
other cases the firm the salesman represents
has a business policy that annoys and repels
customers.
But commonly the salesman cannot justly
shift responsibility to other shoulders than
his own. The fault lies with himself, with
his psychic attitude and the fact that he is
blind to this does not help matters whit.
The sooner he does some candid self-study-
ng-perhaps with the aid Of a friend, not
afraid to be candid-the greater will be the
likelihood of his passing from the ranks of
statesmen who fail to those of statesmen who
succeed.
Foolish in the extreme will he be If he
persists in framing alibis, did Bill Smith.
For then the poverty and misery which were
Bill Smiths fate will likewise of a certainty
be his.
