Figures In Irish War

JR gitfc- jgEfgly \

MICHAEL COLLINS. Michael (Mickey) Collins and Lord Mayor O’Neill are leading figures In the strife that has torn Ireland since Wednesday of last week. When the outbreak appeared Imminent Lord Mayor O’Neill sought vainly to reconcile the opposing factions. He failed.

Good Fellowship Pervades Services at Trinity M, E.

BY THE VISITOR. "Before leaving, shake hands with someone and get acquainted," was the invitation last night of the Rev. E. D. C. Koeth. pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church on Division St With such neighborly fellowship, the visitor found church going at Trinity Church an easy and pleasant experience. I entered the church a stranger and I left feeling I might have been a member of the family for years. On arriving at the church, an elderly woman greeted me. Then the Rev. Mr. Koeth on recognitzng a “strange face” escorted me from a rear seat to the center of the church. "I want you to feel at home," he said. He knew me only as a stranger, but that was enough to cause him to walk down the aisle before he began his sermon on “Our Debt.” The pastor took as his theme "How Much Owest Thou to the Lord?’ His sermon was in the nature of many questions and many of the answers he left with the Individual member to answer silently to himself. He opened, literally, a ledger and on one side enumerated the blessings and advantages God has given the world through His word. On the othor side, he recited what and how the individual was to pay the debt and wipe out the account. “How much do you owe the Lord?” he asked. "We are all debtors. What would this world be without the Golden Rule? If we would take away God's work we would have to wipe out the hospitals, the Sabbath day, the church hymns, all good literature In the libraries, the parable of the Prodigal Son, and. In fact, we would have to eliminate all good things." COMPARES U. S. TO YOUTH State of Growth Very IJhe Stage of Adolescence, Says Dr. Klstler. Comparison of the adolescent period of youth and the present stage of American development was made yesterday by Dr. Edward Haines Kistler, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, In a sermon “Our National Adolescence," Dr. Kistler said: “Nations are not brought forth instanter. What are oar 160 years to England's 1,000. or Rome’s 1,200, or China's thirty centuries? Judge by individual life, we are certainly not yet out of our adolescent period." •YOUTH LACK SERIOUSNESS Pastor Attributes Evils of Dancing to Frivolity of Tonng Folk. L&dk of seriousness on the part of young persons, in their views of the evil aide of dancing. Is the main cause of the high sexual appeal of the amusement, said the Rev. George S. Henninger, pastor of the E. Tenth St. Methodist Church yesterday. ‘STRIKE WAS AVOIDABLE’ Reverend Davison Believe* Government Should Have Watched “Scales of Justice."
