PASTOR IMS ON VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST Dr, E, A, Robertson, in Sermon, ShoWs What v Faith Means, „ \ "We must distinguish carefully between t the virgin birth and the immaculate conception," Dr. E. A< Robertson, pastor of the East Park M. E. Church, said Sunday in a sermon on "What I Believe About the Virgin Birth. Deity and Second Coming of Christ.” “The immaculate conception is a modern dogma which exempts the Virgin Mary from all personal contact with sin and places her on the same scale of sinless purity with Christ.” Dr. Robertson said. "The Virgin Birth, on the otjaer hard,” he said, ‘has to do with Jesus Christ and is clearly taught hr Scripture, confirmed by reason and justified by science. “Historically. Christ appear? alone as no great man has ever appeared. He stands in an immense solitude. When the facts of liis birth were revealed by Mary—she was the only one who could reveal them —it is significant that they wore accepted bv Christ’s followers as being perfectly reasonable in view of the life He had lived. Science Not Opposed "A belief in the Virgin Birth is not opposed to science bfit thoroughly scientific in view of the sinliness of Jesus. £ "Touching the second coming of Jesus, many copsiaerations and a multitude of scripture passages lead to the belief that* He is coming again in flesh. But this doctrine should not be constantly emphasized nor proclaimed in manlike spirit to the utter neglect of other more lmporyint truths. "Let us not read out of the church the man who does not see truth as we do. Whether ope believes Christ may come next week, or cannot possibly come for 2.000 years or is coming every day in spirit, makes not one particle of difference as to his duty tomorrow when he faces temptation to be resisted or Iniquity to be suppressed, "There Is Too much need on every hand In a dying, suffering and sinning world to waste time in strife and contention over the non-essen-tials. Remember This "But the most thing to be said is that Christ is the son of God —God in the flesh. While there is a sense in which we are all divine, Christ so far surpasses us both In degree and in quality of life as to be as deity, a God Himself. "We believe this for many rea cons. His teaching was perfect from the first.’'Hi times of great crisis His behavior acd influence wefe unique. The deity of Christ is manifest In the fact that He never felt fJn. Moral perfection of His kind Is not only without a parallel. It Is almost without approach. "His character is th“ faultless diamond of human history, the most precious possession of the race. He also fulfilled all prophecies relating to the expected Messiah. Every one of the 400 direct prophecies in the Old Testament relating to the coming of Christ were flulfllled. "Each one who has had the personal experience of Christ in his own heart can say with Peter ‘Thou art God,’ ” Dr. Robertson said.

NEUTRAL IS SCORED Pastor Says Move to Razo Churches Effort to Glorify War. The move' to tear down the Second Presbyterian and First Baptist Churches in the World War Memorial Plaza was characterized as an irreverent effort to glorify war byi the Rev. C.

It often means you are minus nerve-power, minus redP cells in your k blood, minus \ health, minus vitality. It is I serious to be / minus, but the moment you increase the number of your red-blood-cells, you begin to become plus. That’s why S. S.

BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook—preying upon other thieves One afternoon on Fifth Avenue he knocks down a man whom he sees abusing a hunchback, and then runs. At an auction sale he sees Marcus Anderson, a man who became rich during the war. buy a golden, jewelstuddfd box for $63,000. Later he is surprised to see Anderson join tho hunchback and a notorious crook known as the White Eagle, and then depart in a town car for a modest private residence in Ihe upper East Side. Posing as a manufacturer of automobile accessories. Ainslry queries a grocer as to the character j*f the people in the neighborhood. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY El HE grocer grinned. “It ain’t hard to remember them,” he said. “That’s exactly my point,” I told him. “You give me a list of your customers who pay their bills promptly, and I’ll give you 5 per cent on ever>j sale I make. And for your trouble, so you’ll know yo*y time isn’t wasted, I'll give you S2O right now.” “Fair ejaough," said the grocer enthusiastically. And he took me into his office. An hour later I left him, armed with a list that would have been worth moneV to a yellow newspaper. For the great public would have been interested to know that some of its fashionable idols never paid a bill, even a food-bill, until a court summons was served upon them. For the grocer, a simple-minded soul, had given me the names of those to avoid as well as those to visit. He would have been surprised had he seen me, in my own apartment a little later, carefully destroying his list. For I wanted none of its details. What I wished to find out from my friend the grocer was the personnel of the household before wheih Anderson’s town-car had stopped. And % who should know that personnel better than the tradesman who supplied the house with food? And this I had learned in casual conversation without seeming to ask for information. The Dtic de Montarlier, then, wail the gentleman who had rented furnished for a term of twelve months the private house-on the side street

near the avenue. He was a distin-guished-looking Frenchman. Ah, how wey } knew that! His secretary, Raoul Lotier, a hunchback, paid all his bills, and paid them, every week. The Due had no other French servants. He had acquired a staff of Japanese help from an employment agency, and so far as my friend the grocer knew, the Japs not only did the ordering but ran all the domestic machinery. There were no women employed in theefiouse. Visitors? My grocer did not know. I spent that evening in the public library, going over the flies, for the past winter, of that New York paper which devotes most space to the chronicling of social events. Yet, carefully as I studied the so-called society columns, I never ran across the name of the Due de Montarlier. The White Eagle, then, had acquired no social prominence. That meant one of two things—that he dared not risk recognition, or that he dared not risk recognition, or that he was working with a definite and not merely making the acquaintance of numbers of rich persons whom he hijped to rob. It was then safe to assume that Marcus Anderson was his definitejobjective. Certainly Anderson was rich enough to be legitimate game for the Frenchman, and despite his wealth, stupid enough to make the White Eagle feel certain of success. But he had not robbed Anderson yet. That was obvious. The White Eagle was not the sort to linger on after the carcass was eaten. In bad that night, I asked myself again the question: What, when and how? • * * The morning papers answered me. Forethey chronicled yesterday’s auction, and in mentioning the purchase of the gold box by Marcus Anderson, added the iluminating line, “who sails for South Ahnerica on Thursday to settle the final details in the amalgamation of various cattle in Crests Nif the Argentine./* f Today was Wednesday. The White Eagle cultivated no acquaintance without reason. He was friendly with Anderspn because he intended

To rob him. That robbery had not .occurred last night, it wotTld occur today or tonight. And how would I turn this knowledge—-for it wa.t knowledge: I knew criminals, anil more than others I knew the White Eagle—to iny own profit? AN HOUR LATER I LEFT HIM, ARMED WITH A LIST. Frantically I studied the situation. The White Eagle, by posing as a nobleman, had ingratiated himself with Marcus Anderson. EJpubtless he had flattered the millionaire by refusing to meet Anderson* friends. He must have told his prospective victim that he did not care to know many Americans. For if a French duke met many people, attended many dinners, his presence in this country could not be kept from the papers. The White Eagle had been very friendly with Anderson at luncheon at the Mirabeau. They were, seemingly, intimates. Some time today, then, the Frenchman would call upon Argferson to say farewell, and then the robbery would take place. And there would be no other guests present when the White Eagle made that call. I could be sure of that. My reasoning told me that, anxious as Anderson might be to advertise his friendship with the Due, the 1 White Eagle would have' forbidden such exploitation, There would,. be no others present at the White Eagle’s call. I rid myself of my excitement. If my logic was correct, the thing for me to do was to watch Anderson’s house. It was one of the'few occasions jvhen I have regretted the lack of assistants. A few spies to report the situation, to map out the

| ground—but a single link is more | powerful than a chain, because it ■ ha's no joints. If I failed because I lacked 'followers, I could- console myself by thinking of the hundreds, aye, thousands, of men who have gone to jail because their confederates betrayed them. But I hated to fall. From the first moment when in a Paris dance-hall I had seen Cochet, the memoby of his arrogant conceit had lingered with me. I would rather rob him than have access to the vaults of the treasury. And if one man could outwit him. I would be that man. So I lingered that Wednesday night in the basement areaway of a house opposite the mansion of Anderson. Yesterday's balmy atmosphere had not lingered until tonight. It was bitterly cold, yet excitement and me fe&r of being discovered by a passing policeman kept me warm. And when I saw the White Eagle and his secretary alight from an automobile and enter that garish palace, I kpew that tpy reasoning had thus far been correct. , Now, I had made no definite plan. Suddenly it occurred to me that even if the White Eagle and his companion descended the Anderson steps carrying the fruits of crime in their handSy it would be no easy matter for me to deprive the mos those fruits. After all, I was no highwayman: I relied on wit and surprise for my success. Why, then, was I lurking in this areaway? Before I answered this question, I tried to put myself in the White Eagle’s place. He had cultivated Anderson’s acquaintance for the purpose of robbing the millionaire. That robbery must occur tonight or be indefinitely postponed. It would be a robbery of finesse and subtlety; the White Eagle would not resort to save in the extremity. Now, if the robbery were one of violence, the Eagle's departure from Anderson’s house would be a pellmell affair. Into such an affair I would not thrust myself. On the other hand, if finesse and subtlety won the battle, the two criminals would leave their host In leisurely fashion. In thdt case, where would they go? I could not believe that the White Eagle had brought with him many of his Parisian followers. To do so would be to court suspicion. The French police keep in fairly close touch with the detective bureaus of ether countries. It might be possible for the White Eagle and one or two companions to slip quietly out France tvithout attracting notice. But if he took many of his followers with him, he would be running an unnecessary risk.

It was fair to assume, then, .that in this American venture of his, he was working practically alone —in which case he would not have many different rendezvous where he and his followers could meet. Also, the White Eagle, like any great general —and he was that —prepared in advance for defeat. He would not wish to flee blindly in the event of victory; and in ca(te of defeat it would not perhaps be necessary to flee. In other wArds, if the White Eagle did net succeed in robbing Anderson* he would return quietly to the house which he had rented. And if he succeeded in robbing the. millionaire, he would probably return to that house. In his stay of several months ir New York he must have acquired certain things of value and of bulk, which he would wish to take with him in the event of flight. And probably, unquestionably. If I knew the man, ho would accomplish his purpose to subtly that he would ht\e a start of at least an hour or two before his crime -was discovered. Having* no followers here to guard other rendezvous, it was almost inevitable that he would return to nis house. I was cooling my heels to no purpose here. So I went to the side V>n which the White Eagle lived. Ar-
