A SACRED SONG OF FUCKINGER WINS FAVOR > Local Composer Writes New Solo for Church Soloists. SHIS city is becoming-, noted for its musicial activities along many lines. Mrs. Lillian A. Flickinger of this city has written anew sacred solo which is meeting with favor. This is the opinion of the Petoskey News of Michigan concerning this new composition. That paper states: “Mrs. Lillian A. Flickinger of Indianapolis, prominent Bay View artist, and member of the teaching staff of the summer school of music has recently ..composed and published a sacred solo entitled, ‘O Love Divine,’ that is receiving much favorable comment from lovers of good music. “The pdem is from the pen of Henrietta Mayer Grossman, also of Indianapolis, and the sincerity 'and diginity of the lines reveal much ability and earnest thought on the part of the author. “The musical setting given the poem is equally dignified, and at the same time melodious, and the song has already been received with much favor by artists, it having been presented in a. number of leading churchs in various sections of the country. “Mrs. Flickinger during her many years abroad made a number of phonograph records for a prominent European company and many of her k friends are urging her to make a r recording of her new composition.” * * * CHURCH BULLETIN GIVES MAIN IDEA The current issue of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin of all Soul3 Unitarian Church contains the following thought: “Unitarians differ -widely as to their conception of God. They agree, however, that God is one God, who is the indwelling law and life of the universe, and who creates, sustains, and directs it. God dwells in every scail, the very essence' of man’s life. “Unitarians do not base, their belief in God mainly upon the Bible, the creeds, or the utterances of religious men, but reach it by way of the soul. They believe that the essential factors —thought, conscience, love—could not be in our life unless in the Universal Life. “God's laws, they believe, develop the moral and spiritual aspects of life exactly as they develop the physical aspects of the world. God speaks to man and reveals himself to man in every law and fact of life, but most of all in man’s own hunger for truth and in his aspirations toward perfection. “Because science traces in the world a rational order that implies intelligence, and a moral order that implies a righteous Providence, many Unitarians affiirm an ideal of God that is best described by the one , great word —“Fatherhood.” | “God. who dwells in us, they believe, is our Father and our Friend, ever ready in wisdom, strength, and love to help us in our upward way.” * * * AT HALL PLACE M. E. CHURCH, the Rev. Guy O. Hartman will preach Sunday morning on “The Refreshing Mountain Top” and at night on “In Th.e Moonlight." * * * THE REV. E. F. PREVO will preach at the Riverside Park Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday morning on “The Value Os Being Doers.” and in the evening on "Back to Monkeys.” * * * “GOD IS NEAR,” are the words for the morning sermon of the Rev.

The brotherhood will hold their annual frolic on next Thursday afternoon) and night.at the new church site. * * * “THE HOLT CITY,” an oratorio, will be sung Sunday night by the University Heights United Brethren Church choir in the .Kephart Memorial Auditorium at Indiana Central College. Mrs. R. J. Dearborn will direct the choir. THE ANNUAL CAMP MEETING and conference of the Pentecost Bands is now in session at Salem Park. Five services are being held daily. The Rev. G.

Practical Religion Exercises Wholesome Restraint

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 2. The Epistle of James. By WM. E. GILROY, D. IX, Editor of The Congregationalist. SRADITION makes the James in early church, who is supposed to have written this epistle, the brother of Jesus. But there were several of the name of James, and the authorship of the epistle is uncertain. That he was a man of some eminence and authority seems evident, as he speaks in the terms of one accustomed to give admonition and counsel. That he was worthy to be such a leader is equally evident, for he displays a fine spirit of practical wisdoms and discriminating judgment. His epistle breathes the spirit of pure Christian democracy. The “man "with the gold ring” is nothing more to him than the lowliest disciple in the church. He warns the Christians against outward show and worldly distinctions, and he defines religion in terms of actual conduct in daily life. A Clear Vision To get away from the bickerings of last lesson over questions of circumcision and similar matters to the emphasis of this Epistle on the religion of sound relations to one’s fellowmen is like ascending to moun-

EXAMINATION OF NEW PAVEMENT WILL BE ASKED Residents of E. Tenth St. to Make Demand, Says Spokesman. Residents of E. Tenth St. affected by the recent paving of the thoroughfare by the Mead Construction Company will demand that a core of the completed roadway be examined before they withdraw their opposition to approval bv the board of works, Albert N. Neuerberg, 4401 E. Tenth St„ their spokesman, declared at public hearing Friday. ' The board decided to reconsider the question next Friday. The construction runs from Sherman Dr. to Hawthorne Lane. Dirt In Gravel "I found huge chunks of dirt in the gravel and at least half of the road was paved with dirty gravel before any was hauled away, after it had been found defective by State board of accounts engineers,” Neuerberg said. Testimony that gravel used contained too much silt came from E. P. Brennan and Berne Raquet, board of accounts engineers. Neuerberg also said the gravel was mixed insufficiently with other, materials. Affidavits Presented William Bosson, city attorney, presented affidavits declaring gravel found defective was hauled away from the fob. Asked -by William H. Freeman, board member, whether he intended to carry the case to t-he courts, if the board ruled adversely to his opinion, Neuerberg declined to answer.

tain atmospheres from foul and awampy places. Here In James la the religion of clear vision and plain serjase. Religion exercises first of all a wholesome restraint. It brings life under discipline. What one says is very important when he is living with others. , * “The tongue,” says James, “can no man tame.” But the tongue can be guared with Christian grace and watchfulness. So James says, “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” That is sound practical philosophy as well asNgood religion. The following of that advice would have saved individuals from much suffering and loss and the world from interminable tragedies. In the problem of saving the world from war, as well as in the matter of personal strife, the lessons of courtesy, patience and forbearance must be iearned. The swashbuckling, .competent fellow, always asserting himself and speaking his mind, always confident in his ability to take care of himself, is responsible for much of the world’s unfortunate situation at the present hour. We have all a great deal to learn from James in the business of guarding our words. Cleanliness of Soul Equally important is cleanliness

of soul. It is only to the meek that God's will and ways are revealed; and it is in the practice of religion that one tests and discovers iu truth. Not to be a doer of the word is to fail to understand it, or to get only a passing impression. A man who prefesses or preaches what lie does not practic4 Is like a person who looks in a looking-glass but soon forgets what he looks like. So James says that it matters little what one seems to be. One may make the greatest show and pretense of religion, but if one’s life is not disciplined by love all profession of religion is vanity. And this he enforces by summing up practical religion in the closing verse of our lesson, which has become known as one of the greatest of all definitions: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit tho fatherless and the widows in their affiliction, and to keep himelf unspotted from the world.” Os course in this definition James is not making religion merely a formal thing, consisting of certain outward acts. He is indicating the sort of expression that true religion inevitably finds, and his Epistle sufficiently emphasizes the fact that religion is a matter of the heart.
