FAITH EXISTS DESPITE SECTS SAYS SIMMS

Pastor Tells Chautauqua Audience of Man's Incurable Religion Unkilled by Different Practices. "Man is 'incurably' religious. I know he is 'incurably' religious because if he had been curable, our behavior as sectarians and denomlnationalista would have cured him of it long ago." This is the essence of the lecture, "The Calf Path," which P. Marion Bimm8 delivered to the large audience It the big Chautauqua tent yesterday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Simms is the pastor of a $60,000 institutional church in Vinton, Iowa, and has established a national reputation as a propagandist of the church unity Idea. His address was Bplced with humor and wit and was frequently punctured with applause. Congregations Small. "Congregations are ridiculously small as a result of the division. Twenty per cent of all the Presbyterian churches in the United States have a membership of 25 souls or less. In the state of Missouri there are twenty-five Presbyterian churches with a memmershlp of three souls each, and in California there are seven with a membership of one soul each. The Presbyterian church is no worse or better than any other denominations. "The evil of the situation is this: Thousands of weak and struggling churches are found all over the country in all denominations, and nearly all of them are situated under the shadow of other and Btronger churches where they can never hope to be selfsupporting, and where they needlessly divide the religious forces, and worse still, we take large sums of home mission money annually to build and maintain these worse than useless church es. I know one church where Presbyterians are thus worse than wasting 35 per cent of their home mission money. Makes Wages Low. "Ministers are required to work at starvation wages as a result of division. The average minister's salary in the United States is only (663 and outside the 150 largest cities the average is only $572. If this is the average, think of ttie thousands who must receive $200 or $300 per year. How selfrespecting men can support their families and make good on such a salary Is one of the wonders of the modern world. "The unity of Protesantism can never be on the basis of uniformity; it must be a unity in variety. There was unity without uniformity in the early church. The Gentile Christians were admitted without being required to conform to Jewish usage. The Jewish Christians including the apostles, continued their Jewish observances in the synagogues and temple. Gentiles were relieved of this burden. From the beginning it is plainly evident that there were two parties among the Jews in the early church but they lived together harmoniously. There will always be differences in practise, ritual and teaching. Any other unity is both impossible and undesirable. So we had as well agree to disagree about some things. "But we are fully convinced that a very much larger agreement in theological opinion is possible where no creed comprising more than the requirements to make a christian, is Imposed, than where one is imposed. Creed-subscription as practised among us, defeats its very purpose. Unite on Loyalty. "The only possible basis for the unity of Protestantism, then, is a basis of loyalty to Jesus Christ, and of mutual toleration among christians in all non-essentials, a basis that allows the largest possible room for adversity. Diversity is a good thing and does not need to be abolished. No man need surrender any doctrine or practise that is dear to him. The only thing required for such unity is for each man to stop trying to force his theological system of non-essentials on other people. All christians have the essentials; he who has the essentials may be trusted to work out his own system of non-essentials. No one need give up anything except his ecclesiastical conceit, his denominational pride and his inherited prejudices. And the loss of these will be a great gain. "Differences of opinion in theology among us in such a unified church would be no greater than they are now in every one of our denominations. The widest possible differences exist among the ministers of our various denominations today. Many of these differences are never made public. However, it never has been prevnted, it never will be. Every church in the land has discovered that it is necessary to tolerate among its membership and ministry great differences of individual thought and belief. The result Is a growing spirit of toleration everywhere. What we need, therefore, in order to unity is not a reduction of our creeds to a common agreement, but an agreement to exercise in the largest unified church a tolration of differences; a tolefation which concedes that a christian can be trusted alone with Jesus and his Bible. Boys, Look Out for Green Apples. Lester Wolroth had a very severe attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating green apples. His mother, Mrs. Pearl Wolroth, Herkimer, N. Y., says, "I was advised to give him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I did, and the relief from the first was very great. After taking three doses he was all right."

FEMALE PERSON

E Fifteen hundred persons listened this morning to Dr. Carolyn Geisel's second lesson on health. In a fearless and straightforward manner she described the kind of home that must stand behind the man who Is to be worth anything in modern American life. "The American home can make or break any kind of a man. At the present time, we are getting a lot of scum in our immigration, yet sociologists tell us that in six or eight months, American environment changes the very shape of the head of some of these foreigners who come to us. If the general environment of society can accomplish so much, how much more can be achieved by the intimate environment of the home. I want to talk this morning directly to the home makers. You are chiefly concerned with it. There never was a home without a. woman In it and a woman who runs a home can smash up the best heredity that any man ever brought with him into this world. Man Needs Home. "The home behind the man pre-sup-poses a house. The trouble with us these days is that so many families live in flats and board at restaurants. This is not a good thing for the man or for his family. A man is better off who carries the responsibilities of a home. "My friends, God arranged that a female person should fool around in the home behind the man. We need in that home a woman who understands her business and who is courageous enough to carry out her end of the contract. Your husbands stick to their end by working for the money to support the home. "Just think of the kinds of homes we put behind our boys and men today. Once our children listened to the music of the masters. What music are your children listening to? 'Oh, The Calf Path One day through the primeval wood, A calf walked home as good calves should ; And made a trail all bent askew, A crooked trail, as all calves do. The trail was taken up next day By a lone dog that passed that way. And then a wise bell-wether sheep Pursued the trail o'er vale and steep; And drew the flock behind him, too, J As good bell-wethers always do. And from that day o'er hill and glade Through these old woods a path was made. And many men wound in and out; And dodged and turned and bent about And uttered words of righteous wrath, Because 'twas such a crooked path. This forest path became a lane, And bent and turned and turned again. This crooked lane became a road, Where many a horse bore heavy loads. Toiling on beneath the burning sun, They traveled some three miles in one And thus a century and a half They trod the footsteps of that calf. The years passed on in swiftness fleet, That road became a village street; And this before men were aware, A city's crowded thoroughfare. And soon the central street was this, Of a renowned metropolis. And men two centuries and a half Trod in the footsteps of that calf. Each day a hundred thousand rout Followed the zigzag calf about; And o'er this crooked journey went, The traffic of a continent. A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead; They followed still his crooked way, And lost a hundred years a day. For thus such reverence is lent To well established precedent. But how the wise old wood gods laugh. Who saw that first primeval calf. Sam Walter Foss. Y, M, C, A,'S TENT MECCAJOR YOUNG One of the meccas for the boy visitors at the Chautauqua is the Y. M. C. A's boy's headquarters. Here under the direction of Boys' Secretary J. J. Somerville, they have most of the advantages they enjoy at the "Y" by way of entertainment. A register of boys on the ground enables each to find the location of a chum or the address of an acquaintance made at last year's Chautauqua. A billiard table, checker boards, and a music box are free to all, whether members of the Association or not. A reading rack is equipped with magazines and an ice-water tank is at the TTTTTr'xi (mJ vaaoViM

BEHIND You Great Big Beautiful Doll' and such rot as that. We used to listen to poetry that thrilled our souls with its majestic music. Today our children are listening to rag-time poetry. We used to dance the stately minuet. A man could have gone straight from that dance to his God without a blush. Do we dance the minuet today? Oh no, we dance . the 'Bunny. Hug' and the 'Turkey Trot' and other such indecent stuff. Home Gives No Return. "The American people spent nine billion dollars last year for food, clothing and shelter. In other words, to maintain the home. Did that institution give return for value received? I don't believe it did. The biggest job we American women have is to make the home produce the right kind of stuff. "We don't need elaborate homes. Simplicity goes with greatness. A real man is one who is true to principle, though he wear blue jeans. "We have educated women for commercialism and for society and are just beginning to realize that women's education here should be to make the home. A lot of you women have started out learning how to make angel's food. You haven't got any angels to live with. You've got just a common every day man. He doesn't want angel's food. He wants men's food. "Don't you women know you can make or mar human character with the kind of food you cook? Alcohol is an anesthetic. If a man's stomach is irritated by the wrong kind of food, by food that is highly spiced and fried, the walls of his stomach become irritated which creates a craving for alcohol. We will never drive the saloon business out of the world until women in the home behind the man learn how to properly prepare food for that man.

Say Specialists The strenuous exercise of the Tango opens the pores, so naturally helps to improve complexions. It has also forced most women to discard face powders because they fill the pores, making healthy skin-breathing impossible. If pore-clogging powder were discarded for a plain spurmax lotion there would be more beautiful complexions. This lotion is tasily prepared at home just get from your druggist 4 ounces spurmax and dissolve in either one-half pint hot water or witch hazel, and add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. The spurma-i lotion is fine for hoi days as it will not spot nor streak and one application lasts an entire day, relieving that shiny, oily appearance. This lotion blends so nicely with the skin that it cannot be detected, and it lends an exquisite charm to the daintiest complexion.

PROGRESS OF

NEGRO CITED BY DR. CAREY Colored Pastor Calls Upon All Races to Place Faith in God as Hope of Civilization. This afternoon's progra m was unique in the history of the Richmond Chautauqua. It was entirely In charge of the colored people of Richmond and vicinity and every number of the program was discharged by a colored person. The theme of the program as a whole, was the celebration of the progress made by the negro since his emancipation from slav ery and the part which Wayne Coun-1 ty negroes had .in securing that eman-. cipatibn. Cornelius R. Richardson, a local attorney, was master of ceremonies and Rev. F. M. Ovelton and Dr. A. G. Carey were the principal speakers. Dr. W. W. Anderson made a short introductory address, explaining the cause and the significance of the program. Dr. Carey's address dealt mainly with the material advancement of his race since the rebellion. He is prominent in the church circles of Chicago, being the pastor of an institutional congregation. He found much to encourage a negro in the progress made during the past generation. Need God's Help. "Croakers and complainers," he said, "may find fault with our times, but the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have done more to emancipate humanity from the thraldom of social, domestic, civil and religious slavery than all the previous centuries combined. "An age like this is possible only when the great' sources of the mind and heart are stirred to their profoundest depths by the power of religious truth. The hope of our civilization for the future will depend upon the faith of the people in the people's God. Our navies may be composed of powerful and well-nigh invincible battleships, our armies may be equal in discipline course, and martial progress to the Macedonian Phalanx or the Roman legions, but neither navies nor armies can repair the ruins wrought upon civilization, and the dire destruction that will befall our republic if we lose our faith in the Fatherhood of God or ignore the doctrine of the brotherhood of man. America is for all the peoples. Here the strong must not oppress the weak, the white must not abuse the black. Blacks Feel Too. "White and black together have made this republic great. Attucks, first martyr of the revolution, demonstrated before Warren fell at Bunker Kill, the courage and devotion of the negro for America. The black soldiers at New Orleans and at Chapultepec; the 200,000 who responded to the call of Lincoln; the 24th and 25th In fantry; the 9th and 10th Cavalry at San Juan Hill, have all won for the negro soldier a place of highest honor in the military records of the world. Fifty years ago there were 4,000,000 negroes with $500,000 worth of property. Today there are 10,000,000 negroes with one billion dollars worth of property, 27 banks, 250,000 farms, and numberless schools and colleges." NEW BOOKS ARRIVE Local dealers today received supplies of school books which will be placed on sale for the fall term of school. Bartel & Rohe was appointed the official depository for the county. The distribution of Books 1 and 2 of the grammars and Alexander's spelling books is being made by the county superintendent under a contract which the state holds with the companies.

COMIC FEATURES INTEREST CROWD AT CHAUTAUQUA Robert O. Bowman's Character Portrayals and RapidFire Witticism Keeps Audience Entertained. Elocutionist, Whistling Artist and Cornetists Complete Program Earning Applause and Commendation. It was a program of varied attractions that entertained the big Chautauqua crowd last night. Music, elocution and impersonations furnished two hours of solid amusement and sent the people away feeling they had received more than their money's worth. The piece de resistance of the evening's banquet of pleasure was Robert O. Bowman's character portrayals. After a humorous introduction of himself, Mr. Bowman went through a series of lightning transformations in which he appeared now as an Italian with his dog, then as an Irish sailor, telling a whole lie which he guaranteed to be half true, then as a Hoosier farmer from Tinkerville, and so on through the whole gamut of familiar stage characters. While passing through his bewildering metamorphoses, he kept up a rapid-fire of witticism and delivered a number of dramatic interpretations that won for him very frequent apj plause. The evening's program was opened by Miss Iarge, elocutionist of Decatur, 111. She read, "Aunt Jane of Ken tucky." This humorous masterpiece on the burning question of women's rights seemed to please the audience as much as it did Theodore Roosevelt when it was first published. Miss Large responded to an encore with an Italian dialect poem. Miss Fagan, the whistler, and the Teetor brothers, cornetists, rendered a program that, immediately preceding Mr. Bowman, greatly pleased the audience. Miss Sybil Sanderson Fagan, whistler and pianist, repeated the success which she scored in last year's Chautauqua. In her afternoon performance as well as in the evening, she received one encore after another to her whistling solos. The Teetor brothers, two brilliant cornetists, received equal attention. They belong to the well known Hagerstown family and have a successful career before them. Their many Richmond admirers will hope to hear them again in future chautauquas. They were accompanied on the piano by W. J. Starr. Constipation Causes Sickness.

SAY CARRIER BOYS Palladium Lads Enjoy Outing and Attend Many Chautauqua Numbers. . "That's our game." "Taint neither; it's ours." "We had more points than you did." A billiard game? No, an echo one catches from behind the Palladium's big boys' camp at the Chautauqua. Twenty-five of the chaps who deliver the Palladium are comfortably housed in a little colony of tents near the Main street entrance. "And say," exclaimed one, "we are having the bulllest time In our lives. It's great here." There's no reason why the boys can't have the bulllest time. They have every facility for It. On a wide platform are two sleeping tents: next door are the big diningroom and cooking headquarters and next adjoining that the tents belonging to the men in charge. Twenty-five boys eat "three per day" and sleep nine hours a night here under the careful surveillance of two managers. They have organized two base-ball teams, a horse-shoe pitching league, and they have the privileges of swimming and boating on Morton Lake. Tomorrow morning the "Palladium Club" will attend enmasse to hear "Sunshine" Hawks' talk, "Boys That Are Too Slow; Boys That Are Too Fast, and Boys That Are Just Right." They attend most of the meetings In the big tent "They are the quietest bunch of boys on the grounds" said E. B. Bowman, who has charge during the day. J. C.
