 Taking his subject from the Scrip fure, from The Declaration of h. tependence and from Lincoln's S Gettysburg address, Prof. D. D.. Vaughan spoke on the subject Are all men created equal?"
 He announced that he would hold an open forum every Saturday even ing at the Y. NJ. C. A. to discuss the proceeding Sunday sermon.
 It was announced that pr. J. E.. Conger, national vice president. Will .peak on the same platform with Dr. Vaughan at Fremont Temple in Bos- ton this evening. Several of the members from here accompanied pr. Conger to the Massachusetts tity.
 4 Dr. vaughan's address in part was As follows:
 Are all men born equal? Yes. No. And they are both true. We Ameri- Ed1S DElltNt III t4AoA4NS' -Aii man once sat opposite an American at a table. Throwing a coin on the table he said, See the kings head on that coino That king made lord out Of my father The Amerl- can then threw coin on the table and said, See the Indian on that coin? That is the Indian who made an angel out of my grandfather One day one of these lords was out hunting when a storm came up. lie stopped in a house where he gradu- ally let the woman in on his identity. After that everything was Will you have this, my lord. will you have that, my lord?' etc. The small boy noticing the lord reaching for some pickles on the table, said, Mother I think God wants a pickle The dea of those chaps taking for them telves the name we have for deity We have no patience for hereditary snobbery The Y. NJ. c, A. is an ln- dication of 1t. There isn't boy so poor that he cannot join the Y. NJ. C. A. Are all men equal? It depends on the kind of equality you are talk ing about. Civil, political, social or national equality and I would add, economic equality and spiritual.
 Tn a civil sense we are born equal in America. Our constitution has done it's very best 10 make that thing possible. Abraham Lincoln in discussing the Scott business, said .our fathers didn't mean to say all me nare equal in size, color and mental capacity. They are equal with certain inalienable rights among which are life. liberty and pursuit of happiness There were those whc questioned that viewpoint of Abra- ham Lincoln at the time the Decla- ration Of Independence was written and today there are men who be- lieve in inequality and frankly say so, and they offer such arguments as this. Men differ in capacity. It is foolish to waste goods on the tn- capable. They say that since they proved they are failures, why lei them have anything to do with the things that will give them success fhere are not material goods for all This was true before the industrial Sevolution. We could say century ego that there were not material good enough for all.
 "We say 1t is better for some tc nave leisure in order to set apart the arts and sciences, It pays the state to cultivate the genius. In the public schools they have not given enough attention 70 the bright chll- dren. I am not thinking of the chil- dren but of the state. We should give special attention to those bright children. t is necessary 10 have a gum set aside for that purpose Prizes stimulate men to hustle.
 "An Indian wears q cap of eagle feathers. The army officer is given a uniform. Members Of a football team gre allowed to wear the University letters. The college students are given degrees Why do they want them? Beca use others do not have them. Money position and power ere prizes and f you make q chasm, you Will meet those who are not hus,ling and will bless the rest.
 But you and I insist that every man ought to have a chance 10 show what is in him, We do not really know the great men until we give all men a chance. How many Carusos ere singing hash in restaurants? One reason I rejoice in an orchestra Is that some youngs'or will be dis covered and that some person will give that y0ungstor a chance. In this class you have made public speak CTS. This group, you and l am those who believe in equality, argue that we do not know the great men until
