In keeping with an old New Eng

preached a prediction sermon at
the Congregational Church Sunday
evening. II was the third address
in the series OF sermon-lectures
sponsored by Ypsilanti Ministerial
Association on the theme. "The

Dr.. Slosson said that paganisn

repudiated the old despotism. In the
New Testament there is divine
dynamite that would destroy the
old order OF things. Jesus was the
Founder of the New Democracy.
The Christian lands have always
been the lands Of moral revolutions.
Dr. Slosson maintained. This is
true because the Christian Church
was democratic and then insisted
on extending its democracy to the
state. Except for the work of the
radical Protestant Churches, politi-
cal democracy would have been
postponed for long time, he said.
Continuing his thesis. the speaker
said that Christianity is opposed
to all caste systems. In these days
