giveness War, he declared grew out
of the hearts of men, apd from that
source should preventive for war grow.
A plea for more devotion and faith
In religion was made by the senior
bishop of the M. r. Church, South. who
declared the church today was not as
happy and joyous as 1t should be.
During his morning sermon at the
church, taking his text from the parable
of the sower, Bishop Gambler charged
the people we're too much bound up
now in the pleasures of the world to
take the interest they should in religion
In an attempt TO make their religion
conform to the time, instead of making
the times conform to their religion, the
bishop said religion today too often be-
came as "f1ckle as a flappers courtship"
An attack was launched by the bishop
on modern novelists for their slurs on
religion
