DR. WICKS BASES SERMON ON LIFE OF ■AS JEFFERSON Pastor Says Declaration of Independence Was Jefferson’s Own Spirit. “It Is good." said Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of All Souls Unitarian Church Sunday, “once In a while to go back and refresh ourselves at the sources of our national stream, where the waters were fresh and clear.” Dr. Wicks based his sermon on the life of Thomas Jefferson because of the efforts today to make a shrine of Jefferson's home, "Monticello.” "It is well,” Dr. Wicks said, "to stand on the mount with the fathers of our country and look at the vision that inspired them. With them we then see a country born in a passion for freedom, under friendly skies that smiled upon their aspirations, a land where men ranked as men, honored for their real worth, no handicap holding back ambitious youth, a promised land flowing with something better than milk and honey, waiting only for the hand of toil to blossom into fruitfulness, a great land of opportunity. “It is better to go back to the fathers than invite them to come to us. They might be saddened to see how far we are from realizing their dreams. The stream that flowed from those first springs has been muddied with the years. Just now its waters are so black that many despair. Corruption in high places, venality In law, have shaken, confidence in popular government. Need Faith "Our faith needs strengthening. We cannot do better than go to Jefferson. First among the fathers who had the glorious vision is Thomas Jefferson who, above all others, may be called the Father of Democracy, not a par tlsan democracy, but the democracy in which all Americans believe. “We take no gratitude from Washington, Paine. Franklin. Adams to increase our debt to Jefferson. We need crowd no one from his niche, in our Hall of Fame to make room for him. He made his own niche. “In Jefferson are gathered up all the ideals and aspirations of that heroic period, so that in him we may see the American people of that time. “The title of which he was proudest was that of being the writer of the Declaration of Independence. When he came to write his epitaph he disdained speaiflng of his external honors. He did not mention he had been secretary of State and President. He told only that he had written two documents favoring human liberty, and had founded an institution of the higher It rning. The spirit of the Declaration of Independence was Jefferson's own spirit. Ii * was first of all the champion of liberty, a liberty that did not stop with political freedom, but included mental freedom as well. This freedom he would have extended to the slaves. Had his advice been followed, slavery would have died a natural death through lack of sustenance. “It is to Jefferson we owe the first eleven amendments to our Constitution that safeguard the liberties of a free people. Study of His Democracy “At one point Jefferson lead us astray, the absolutely false idea that all men are created equal. With a homogeneous people about him. most of them of one race, and the hardiest and best of that race, it did seem to Jefferson that all men are equal. Then the ballot Was thrust into the hands of all, from the man just above the

ber of the worst cases of kidney trouble are the result of germ diseases. In every infectious disease the system is alive with poisonous germs and bacteria. The kidneys are often overwhelmed with the rush of the new work and fall behind in filtering the blood. Too often the real trouble is lost sight of until some dangerous kidney ailment sets in. Don’t risk neglect! Help your weakened kidneys with a stimulant diuretic. Use Doan's Pills. Doan's have helped thousands. Home folks gratefully tell their * experiences. As A; your neighbor!

Read How These Indianapolis Folks Found Relief:

ROBERT LYLES, 1377 Oliver Ave., Says: "Mjr back was weak and sharp pains caught me every time I stooped, making it hard to straighten. I tired easily and my kidneys acted too frequently. Inflammation of the bladder bothered me, too. I used Doan’s Pills from Withers' Drug Store, and they strengthened my back and kidneys and I felt better in every way."

level of an idiot to Jefferson himself. The Democracy of Jefferson was a Democracy of peers, but has become a mobocracy and the place of Jefferson filled by demagogues who mouth his words, but fail to follow his principles. "Jefferson said that he sometimes asked himself whether ‘my country is i the better for my having lived in It?’ jDo we hesitate to answer? This Is a I better country because its foundations were laid by Thomas Jefferson,” said Dr.- Wicks. “STRIVING FOR POPULARITY” Too Many Preachers Trimming Sails to Uafch the Breeae,” Is Warning. “Too many preachers today are striving after popularity and trimming their sails to catch the breeze of popular fancy,” warned the Rev. Harry Von Bruck, Chicago, Sunday afternoon at English’s Theater. The meeting was unfler auspices of the Indianapolis Evangelistic Association. “What is the secret of drawing power? ‘And if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.’ ” “W. F. M. S.

Book On Woodrow Wilson Effort Is Made to Find Ten

By WALTER D. HICKMAN mT is natural to expect that this year will see the publishing of many books on the life of the j late Woodrow Wlison. Among the first to reach my desk is one entitled “Woodrow Wilson, His Life and Work,” by William Dunseath Eaton. Harry C. Read and Edmond McKenna. Copy for review was furnished by the W. K. Stewart Company of this city. The book covers more than 700 pages and is well illustrated. The pictures alone would give one a good i Idea of the late President's career if the book contained nothing else. The book is valuable for the home library because it contains all of his presidential messages to Congress the eight years he was at the head of the Government. All of his "notes" ! to Germany and many of the answers . are included. My interest centered upon the way the authors permitted the speeches and messages of President Wilson to ehow clearly how he directed the Nation for eight years. To obtain all of this data in one book Is most Interesting to students ; of government and of history, as well as the general reading public. It also contains in full the peace treaty and a good account of the fight made ! on the League of Nations. The authors have brought the btok up to (late as It even contains photographs of the funeral of the late leader. "This book is not only valuable as a work of reference, but it makes highly interesting reading. It seems to me that the place Wilson will have in the history of the world will be determined bv his State papers, meesages to Congress and his many spechrs, these are contained In this book. Job of Choosing Favorite Books It Is getting quite popular to choose the ten beat.

It also proves to me that many of the "best sellers" of the last twenty years have been read and forgotten. One would expect that the stories of O. Henry would be in the list. The "ten best" as determined by the poll nh?>w3 that our favorites are mighty good books. Here Is Vote on Authors The magazine also gives the vots on the ten authors receiving the highest vote.
