Speaking at st. Pauls Episcopal
Church, Rock Greek parish, yester-
day, the Very Rev. DR.. Alexander
C.. Zabriskie, dean Of the Virginia
Theological Seminary, said: The
church should try to proclaim and
make known the same point of view
as Christ did. and 1t should stand
as a society Of friends.
1.-THE latter is especially important
now to those who are seeking God
and friends, and will be important
to the men Of our Army when they
are demobilized and know not where
to turn" he said.
I'VE never understand and in
terpert life and religion correctly
until we do so In terms Of their
spiritual discipline" the Rev. DR..
Bernard Braskamp, pastor of the
Gunton- Temple Memorial Presby-
terian Church, said at morning serv-
ices yesterday.
IF we would be spiritually fit we
must avail ourselves of the disci-
pine of prayer and meditation and
a study of Gods words, for through
these we come to know ourselves
and God.
Furthermore, DR.. Breskamp said,
I'VE must yield ourselves to the
discipline of the church and cor
porate worship. One of the glaring
weaknesses Of present-day Prot
estantism Is its lack of discipline
we have thrown away our book of
discipline and church members con-
suit their own feelings and wishes
when it comes To their response
bilities and obligations to the
church and worship"
The Rev. DR.. Gerhard z. Lenski,
pastor of Grace Lutheran Church,
using as his subject 'Free-but for
What?" at services yesterday, said
Our use of freedom needs to be
watched in international things.
How hard when we Americans are
free to feel for those who are not
free-how much easier to maintain
the status quo and even to use your
freedom to that end" DR.. Lenski
said. "Is not this a part Of present
world trouble that certain nations
enjoying freedom have been slow
to accord the same gift to Others"
he added.
1--WE must at this time be willing
to accept burdens and hardships as
we are to accept beneficial and
pleasant things" the Rev. DR.. H. w.
Burgan said yesterday, speaking at
Hamline Methodist Church.
