Anniversary Program
Planned by Sherwood
Presbyterian
SpecioI Service Will
Mark Founding
70 Years Ago

Sherwood Presbyterian Church,
founded % years ago, will celebrate
its anniversary in special service
tomorrow morning. The Rev.
Thomas Law Coyle will honor the As
original members who met at the
home of Conrad CLANCY on Novem-
Der 3, 1909, to establish the first
church in the Woodbridge area.
James P. Benfer, one of the found
ers and now an elder in the church,
will read the scripture.
OF the original number, nine are
still active members of the church.
In addition to Mr.. Benfer, they are:
Mrs Benfer, Mrs. Clara M. Hitz, Mr..
and Mrs. John Scatter, Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Duncan, Mrs. Amy R. Trum-
BILE and Mrs. Fife Gochenour.
Attorney I. R. Linton and Rev. Mr..
Mcleod of First Church were active
in the establishment of the new
church. Meetings were first held in
the Odd Fellows Hall at 2O24 Rhode
Island avenue NE, with supplies"
filling the pulpit for almost year.
The first minister was the Rev.
Thomas B. Thompson, now a chap
lain of the United States Navy, who
served the church from 1910 to 1913.
On November 26, 1911, the new
church building was dedicated. The
men OF the congregation construct
ed a basement in less than a year
after the church had been finished.
The Sunday school building was
completed in the fall of 1923 and was
dedicated on the first Sunday in
October.
Following the Rev. Mr.. Thomson,
the Rev. William I. Campbell was
minister from 1918 to 1919, DR.. Wall
ter F. Eagleson served from 1919 to
1885 and the Rev. Thomas Law Coyle
has been minister since 1896.
At the two morning services to-
morrow Rev. Mr.. Coyle will preach

tianity." At 8 pm. he will answer
the question, Can Professionalism
Survive?"

world are honest. If they were not,
that intricate fabric called civin-
cation would quickly collapse.
There is more to honesty than
simple honesty. The quality goes
farther than fairness in human re-
lationS. AS the amended proverb
has it, Honesty is the best policy;
but he who lives by that rule Is
not an honest man." Honesty for
policy's sake is mere shrewdness.
Whereas the honesty that the AL
mighty deemed so essential that He
gave 1t a place in the Decalogue is
a spirit Of life; soul-integrity that
is born of mans own sense of his di-
vine character and of his relation to
God. 1t is principle at the core
OF ones being. Self-respect and per-
sonal honor constrain every noble
soul so to conduct himself that the
temptation to dishonesty simply
makes no appeal to him. It is con-
trary to his nature.
On this lifty level live the ethics
of Christianity. While the New
Testament frequently points out
honesty as characteristic of the
disciples of Jesus, 1t is not these
specific injunctions, nor yet the
Eighth Commandment, that make
Christians honest. They are ami
mated by spirit to which dis
honesty in any form is utterly alien.
They are honest-plus; because their
life is lived on plane where in
tegrity is taken for granted. Chris
tians walks the way OF Master
Who was incarnate truth. The
shortest, surest method for making
all men and women honest is to
convert them to Christ.
The Jokes About Relief Workers.
Both the United States and Cam
ada are vocal with the stories OF
the slackness of workers on relief.
Many Of the stories are cruel and
unjust; yet the essential dishonesty
of much Sinking labor cannot be
denied. A contractor told me that
he never employs men who have
worked on the w. p. A., because he
found that their efficiency had been
shattered by their experience of loaf
ing on public jobs.
Jibes directed at these poorly paid
workers on public projects, as a
form of relief, really apply every
where. There are few businesses
that do not have their slackers. A
college graduate known to me went
to work for an electrical concern,
and he was put among the assem-

blers of meters. The first day he
completed three meters, an average
chore. The next day. having stud
led out a more ehcient method OF
doing the task, he completed IL

workers warned him that he was
doing too much and would have to
slow up.
Thieves Who Were Fooled.
That Is one form of dishonesty
which Is quite as common as the
other form, amongst employers, OF
withholding a fair wage. When we
lay the Eighth Commandment down
alongside Of everyday life as a
measuring square we see that 1t
applies in unexpected places. How
many persons voluntarily give up
their fare in public conveyances,
when overlooked by the conductor?
Or correctly state the age of chill
dren when travelling? What mer-
chant does not put the largest ap-
pies at the top Of the basket? Has
anybody ever heard of salesman
padding his expense account? And
what of the looting which developes
during any great disaster, such as
the recent New England storm?
Nevertheless, in the long run, dis
honesty does not pay. 1t impairs
character, as well as reputation. 1t
Is, on a large scale and through a
long time, as big blunder as that
made by members of an alien set
tlement during a coal strike. Their
homes were near railroad siding
where carloads of coal were some
times parked. One day a car was
found empty, though it had been
loaded with broken stone, the size
OF stove coal. It had been robbed
in the darkness by persons who
though it contained coal. So it was
a simple process for the police to
check the houses where the stone
was found in the coal bins. AS the
German proverb says, mo honest
man ever repented his honesty"
Better Than the Law.
Like a motto on knightly shield
stand the four short words Of
the Eighth Commandment" Thou
shalt not steal" They are a sure
budapest for ife's journey; an i'm
perative for all decent living. Never
theless, they have not been as potent
as the example and teachings Of
Jesus. He has been the greatest
influence for honesty in the world.
less by His explicit instructions than
by His Spirit.
For honesty is inseparable from a
religious life. No real spiritual ex-
perience is possible to the person
who lodges his debts; misappro-
PIRATES another's possessions, or
drives oversharp bargains or shirks
his work. God can use weak per-
sons and stupid persons, but He can
not use a dishonest person. A
religious worker known to me once
hired secretary whom he had met
in Christian activity. He would
come to the Office and find her read
ing her Bible and humming hymns,
while the tasks Of the day were
neglected. When he discharged her
she flew into passion and declared
he was not q good Christian. She
thought her piety was a substitute
for honest work.
II Christianity has done nothing
fro our social ethics and personal
integrity 1t has done nothing Tor
our soul.
