METHODISTS AT
BARRATT'S URGE
RENEWED FAITH
IConlinNed 20 - I'd

CONfiBNed from FiBst Psgel
Saloon League, and the Rev. Sidney
B. Bradley, Fruitland
Rehabilitation Urged
Mr.. Jones opened his sermon with
a plea for a re-dedication OF faith
and a re-declaration Of life. The
service, he said, is held on the an
niversary Of the founding Of the
church where plans we're laid for
forming Methodism In this country
and the church was an ideal place
for this to take place.
That we place too much faith In
many Of the leaders Of today, such
as MussOlini, was given by MIR. Jones
as one Of the reasons for many hui
man sufferings.
Jesus is the only One in Whom
we can place a faith that will re-
ward us in the end" he declared
Lenders of mankind In the past, as
in today, have all lived and died and
left the world no better than they
found t." he continued.
Mr.. Jones said the church in this
country has a membership Of about
so per cent Of the people. and only
about 20 per cent Of this number
attend church regularly. If people
say that Christianity has failed in
its mission they are mistaken. be-
cause according to these figures, we
have not even given Christianity a
chance"
Indifference Assalled
Indifference and seliishness we're
assailed by Mr.. Jones as the leading
enemies Of the church.
The sermon was concluded with
another plea for a profession Of
Jesus by the people Of today.
Prayers were led by Mr.. Reed, and
the beRediction was said by Mr..
Bradley. Mr.. Kelso read the verse
from the Bible that has been used
in the church since 1854
Music was furnished by the COM
bined cheirs of Frederick and Mag
nOlia NJ. E. Churches, with Miss |
Margaret Hart as Organist. Many |
old Methodist hymns sung in the
church when II was founded were
sung by the congregation. A solo
was sung by Rev. Robert Greent.
Thomas jefferson, 92-year-old re-
tired farmer of Canterbury, is be-
lieved to have been the oldest man
in attendance.
MethOdists from all sections of

Smashing of tradition and ex-
planning theories ordinarily do not
affect hard-boiled Congressman,
but John Martin of Colorado was
overcome in the House the other
day and expressed his chagrin
thus:
81 RISE" said Martin, "to shed a
tear over the passing of another
priceless American tradition: nav
more, a hitherto accepted histori-
cal fact of the first magnitude.
Generation after generation of
the school children of America has
thrilled to the story of the old
Liberty Bell dramatically pro-
claiming the signing of the De-
claration of Independence. It per-
sonified to them the spirit of the
Revolution. It symboliZed the i'm
mortal instrument whose birth it
heraIded. 1t glittered as a star of
the first magnitude in the brilliant
sky of American independence.
The bell and the Declaration, one
and inseparable, now and forever.
"Then, Mr.. Speaker, came the
fell hand of the debunker. The
Liberty Bell did not proclaim the
t1d1ng.' Thus saith the verv GUS
todlan of the archives of things
sacred in American history.
There is no preparation for the
blow, no forshadowing of the com
ing dire disclosure. Casually, the
unsuspecting eye drifts down the
page of trivia of detail said bv
the gentleman from New York to |
be erroneous in a history of the
Declaration; then, bang! the eve
which has gazed in reverence upon |
the most famed and cherished relic
OF the Revolution gets knocked |
right out with eight bald. unher-
aided, devastating, soul-sickening
words: The Liberty Bell did not
proclaim the tidings.'
"Mr. Speaker, have survived
some severe shocks in the wav of
historical disillusionment, but this
was the 'unkindest cut Of all
THE situation makes me 1T.

nay bring up against another
