WICKS TELLS OF THE GOD THAT HE CAN WORSHIP Declares He Believes in An Evolving Deity in Sermon. Ut _ | AM coming to believe more and more in an evolving L * I Deity,” Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks declared Sunday at All Souls Unitarian Church while speaking on "The God We Worship.” This sermon was broadcast in its entirety through the Merchants Heat and Jvight Company station. For thq next two Sundays the entire service t/rill be broadcasted. “We cannot escape the logic of an evolving Deity,” Dr. Wicks continued. "If Deity is infinite He must Include us, and to that extent shares in our development. Such a God I can love, for he needs my tenderness. I can work with him for he needs my work. "He cannot make so simple a thing as a luscious peach until a man works with him. He cannot prevent these dreadful wars that arise from the clash of human interest until mankind join In its force with him. "I seem to see behind the observable processes of nature a movement toward something, a far-oft, divine event, and that I can help in the movement. What He Believes “Every living thing seems trying to get somewhere, struggling toward perfection. This rose before me is trying to become a perfect rose, only frustrated by the hand of the man vho plucked it from its roots before it could transmit to its seed-progeny what it had gained, just as man seems frustrated by the hand of death, though dying with the hope he may go on in some future life. As with the rose, so in man, there is a hunger and thirst for perfection. That, to me, is the God within whom I can worship. I find him as well in my fellows, in all animated nature. “I can not worship the God of the Pentateuch who enjoyed snuffing up the odor of burning flesh; who took the lives of little children because of the hardness, he, himself put in the heart of Pharoah. "I can not worship the God of Calvin who elects a certain few to eternal bliss and condemns the many to eternal torment without regard to their desserts. “I can not worship God of Catholicism who confines his truth to one church. "I can not worship the God of many Protestants who loves and saves only Christians, and may love only the Christians of one sect. “I can not worship the God who loves to hear his praises sung endlessly, and can be cajoled into favoring his worshippers. "I can not worship the God who needs to be prayed to before he will be kind and just and loving. "I carypot worship the God of the prayer-book who saves only such infants as the priest’s hand has touched with water. "I cannot worship a God who needs to work a miracle to patch up his universe. These Gods are inferior to the best men I know. "I can worship only a God who represents the highest I know; who matches my purest love; whose intelligence is incomparably greater than mine; whose character sums up the best we know in human character. The God He Worships “The God I worship is revealed to me in that marvelous process of called evolution. He did not make all things in the beginning, and then standing apart from His work, com' placently call it good, only to see it ruined by the misdeeds of men. "He has never stopped working. He is not outside the universe working upon it like a mechanic constructing a machine. He is inside, ara the principle of life, working from within to without. We need not go back to Genesis to see Him at work. “Walt Whitman tells us where to look: ‘I will take an egg from the robin’s nest in the orchard; I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush in the garden, and I wifi go and preach to the world. You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, a white pebble from the beach,’ ” Dr. Wicks said, NURSES’ WORK PRAISED Hospital Graduating Class Hears Baccalaureate Sermon. "Nursing the sick back to health is one of the finest forms of Ohristiad service,” the Rev. John W. McFall, pastor of the Broadway M. E. Church, declared In a sermon on "Service for Others,” the baccalaureate for the 1925 graduating class of nurses of the Methodist Episcopal hospital. Like Jesus Christ, the nurse gives first consideration to others, not to herself, the Rev. McFal! declared. TALKS FOR EVOLUTION Dr. Harry A. King Says It Is No Trouble to Believe In Theory. "It is no trouble to believe in evolution if one believes in the Bible,” said Dr. Harry A. King, superintendendent Indianapolis district of the M. E. Church, in a talk Sunday at Woodside M. E. Sunday School.

CITIZENS WANT WATER MAINS INTO ADDITION Mr. Fixit Receives Other Requests for Assistance. Mr. Fixit of The Indianapolis Times will represent you at city hall if you have any complaints to make to city officials. He will help you obtain street improvements or better city service of any kind. Write him at The Times. The dry spell was added to Mr. Fixit’s calculations today with a request for water extensions in a newiy settled location. The letter; ■ DEAR MR. FIXIT: We can only have dug wells in our addition on account of the hard ground and our wells go dry every summer. We have asked for water, but have never had any results. We are carrying water now for one square. The paper said Wallace St. was going to have water from Tenth to Thirteenth Sts. We are only two lots away from Wallace on Eleventh St. and would more than appreciate it, if you would try and help us get the water. The family next" door Is out of water too. R. R. W. Elmer Williams, secretary of the board of works, suggests you obtain signatures of your neighbors to a petition to present to the board requesting extension of water mains. That is the regular procedure. However, are you sure there are enough homes on your street to persuade the board the necessity exists for extension? Dear Mr. Fixit: Could we have someir.lng done to Alton Ave. north of Tenth St. The street has been open for more than two years. It was graded last year but not this yea.'. A lot of machines pass and the dust Is awful. A few cinders would help a lot. AN ALTON AVE. CITIZEN. W. P, Hargon, Clerk of the street commissioner’s department, said he would ask Frank Reid to make a special investigation with a v**w of grading and oiling the thoroughfare. The supply of cinders Is exhausted. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you be so kind as to get the city to oil Pleasant St. east between Harlan and St. Paul Sts. The dust is something awful. There are several old folks and sick people that live there, and they can’t stand it. The wind blows through and makes it awful for them in the house. Please help us get affer them at once. I am a taxpayer and a Times reader from its infancy. ANNIE JONES. 2221 Pleasant St. Hargon said the street commissioner’s department would attend to this street at the earliest possible time, because he realizes there Is a lot of traffic passing. Applications for paving, however, have accumulated to such an extent that it may require several weeks before the street Is reached. FIVE HURT BY CRASH Two Autos Collide and Turn Oxer —Driver Sated.
