Amonfr the many practk ai ana strong sermons delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell since becoming pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church in West Fortieth street. New York, none has been more practical, timely and stirring than Fk* one re ently delivered on "The 1 > trine of Sanctification.” The d..< ourse was founded upon Romun-i xil. “Be not conformed to this word. I> ;t be ye transformed by the 1 *110wing of your mind, that ye may i rn. e u h:.t U that good and acceptable ami 1 eri'e t will of God.” and 1 Thessaloniitus iv. :», "And this is the will of God. even your sanctification.” L>r. Powcil said in part: •The words •sanctify.’ ‘sanctified’ and •sanctification’ are derived from the Greek word •h.tgios,’ which means to ’set apart for God.’ The word occurs in the Bible more than 100 times. It is applied to animals and other things as well as to persons, but whether ’sanctification* is used in reference to persons or things it invariably means •set apart for God.’ When applied lo petrous the word has two meanings—first, personal purity in heart and life: second, the setting apart of all of our faculties and powers to the service of God. And all of this implies nonconformity to the world. Paul's exhortation ‘Be not conformed to this world’ is very much needed in our day. it is continually attirmed and with a- shocking degree of truth that there is no difference between the majority of church members and the nouchurch members. Go to the public balls and you will find the church members there dancing with the world until 0 a. m. A young man said to me a little while ago when speaking of a certain ball that he did not get a chance to dance because of the Christians. Go.to the card and wine parties and you will find some of the leading church members there conforming to the world. Go to the public bars and you will find the baptized drinking with the unbaptized. Go to the cheap playhouses where vile women are half dressed and some scarcely dressed at all doing the high kicking act or other stunts that would make the archangels blush and you will find church members there smiling, laughing and applauding, enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season. Go to the ’buffet flats' where liquor is sold in defiance of the law and where splendid young men and innocent young women read their first lesson of ruination from the front pages of the black book of damnation and you will find church members there, and. alas, it is said that some of these places tire run by people with church connections. "The Detroit (.Mich.) Informer had this to say the other day in an editorial: “ ’From the number of cheap theaters and other shows that are always well patronized on Sunday, from the increasing number of Christian church people who give or attend public balls, from the large number of leading citizens who simply seem to dose their eyes to crookedness and grafting in public officials, from the scandalously large number of male society leaders who publicly consort with members of the demimonde and the seemingly ever increasing number of people who become intoxl ated at social gatherings it would indeed seem that the great, mass of people were hell bent in search of questionable pleasure.’ "This editor links the sinful leaders of society and prominent church members together and declares that they are hell bent and hell bound and leading the masses with them. Remember that the Informer Is not a religious paper. It is run to give the news and to make money, and if the editor of a secuiar paper is c rying aloud against the sins of the church people It Is certainly time that the preacher of righteousness should lift up his voice and spare not. even though his bread and butter come from the class of people that are here described. T am reliably Informed that at some of the card and wine parties given by society leaders and prominent church members many of our best women sit with their feet on chairs and smoke cigarettes. What a spectacle! What a defilement of pure womanhood! What a desecration of sacred motherhood! What a damnation of childhood! Think of a mother with a babe hanging on her breast and a cigarette in her mouth! Poor little thing, born into the world with poison in its veins and drawing poison into its stomach! The mental, moral and physical weaklings born of cigarette smoking mothers, handicapped and doomed at the start, is a picture too sickening and too awful to contemplate. The apology forlhis latest fiendish fad among some of our women is that ‘the whjte wnmpn Fifth avenue smote cigarettes.’ Well.

the white people can arrora to go to hell. They have done enough for civilization to commit suicide and give other races a chance. Their achievements stretch back through centuries, but we have just begun to make a small contribution to human progress. No people have had greater opportunities stretching before them than we have, and for God’s sake let us not commit racial suicide on the very threshold of these unspeakable oppor-

tunities.”

Friday evening, Class meeting; Trustees’ meeting first Tuesday in every month Why Married Life is not Thrilling (Excerpt from sermon by Dr. Smythe last Sunday.) The average woman would be thrilling to her husband, if it was not for the fact, that many husbandsculti vate a champaign taste upon a cheap whiskey income. The wife who has to keep house, do the family washing, make and mend the clothing, keep the children looking tidy and neat, and have a hot bteakfast, dinner and supper for her “lord and master” will not find much time to spend before the looking glass, arranging her pompadour in the latest dip: neither will she find it possible to keep her hands soft and sweet for him to kiss and squeeze. There can be no greater ingrate than the man who complains that married life has no poetry, because the woman who is slaving herself to death to keep him clean and well-fed, is not dashing and very witty and thrilling. It is certainly expecting to much of a woman to demand of her a chorus girl’s vivacity, when she has;to plead, cry and whistle for a few dimes to meet the expenses of the house* Married life is full of poetiv, when the husband remembers his wife is his partner and not his

slave.
