Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, December g. The
secret of power today does not lie in
statecraft, but in the heart element
that impels men to legtslate," de-
clared Bishop James E. Freeman Of
Washington, who delivered the fifth
sermon of the series by America 5
noted preachers at the Mount Vernon
Methodist Episcopal Church under
auspices of All interdenominational
committee.
bishop Freeman urged the same
al plication OF heart element in the
pulpit the church, industry and in
ternationaI affairs. He suggested
that some churches might be better
filled if their prea chers spoke more
to the heart than. the head. He
further suggested the application of
love in the fundamentaltst-m m odernist
controversies.
Likewise in industry the applica-
ton of that same heart element for
both the capitalist and laborer, he
said, would relieve what higher
salaries have not yet had the power
to relieve-the strained relations be-
