Justice Sutherland described some
of the differences between the Amerl-
can Constitution and the British con-
stitution, and said the United states
was indebted to it's mother country for
many things. Some things had been
improved upon and some things had
not but he was fairly convinced that
the future of civilized mankind de-
pended upon the continuation of the
| friendly relations among the English
speaking peoples more than upon all
other factors combined.
Hughes Hears Sermon.
Secretary Hughes and George Suth-
erland and Edward T. Sanford, asso-
ciate justices of the United States
Supreme Court, were among the 400
American lawyers attending special
services at Westminster Abbey yes
terday morning. They heard Rev.
Henry d. A. Major. principal of Ripon
Hall, oxford, preach a sermon, in
which he touched on the religious
controversy between the fundamen-
talists and modernjsts in America.
Taking his text from St John he
discoursed on the theme of Fellow
Workers With God; Fellow Workers
With Truth" AS he had the privilege
of addressing members Of the Amer
lean Bar Association, he said he
would venture to make reference to
the present religious situation in the
United States. where for some time
struggle had been going on be-
tween fundamentalists and modern
lists. He would not say anything so
absurd as that one party in the
conflict consisted of all religious and
moral men and that the other party
was composed OF irreligious and i'm
moral men. for in all ages there had
been religion and morality on both
sides.
Hit FundamentaIist Stand.
The question was, Where is the
truth 30 in this conflict between fun
damentalists and modernists, and he
answered his own query by saying:
The truth plainly is not on the
fundamental side, a body of people
standing for the inviolability of the
Holy Scripture. denying the fact of
physical evolution and resolved to
drive from the pulpit and even from
the professors chair those who are
opposed to them. But the truth once
crushed to earth will rise again,
since there can be no doubt regard
ing the final result of the conflict" :"
The speaker told his auditors that
instead of disregarding truth, the
modern community, by the code of
ethics adopted last week by those
connected with the advertising busi-
ness, was resolved to bring truth
fulness into a sphere where it could
be no easy matter to do so. To
seek truth and love it and to tell
an advertising story simply and
without exaggeration was to con-
serve for ourselves and posterity
ideals of conduct and standards of
advertising and practice, born of the
belief that truthful advertising
builds both character and business.
