bishop Mcdowell in powerful sermon raps pre j udice against race

Bringing a message that Christianity does not stand discredited ummih' the nations today and that the program of Jesu.s Christ for this world has not broken down, Ihshop William Kraser McPowcll, pre.-idmi; bishop of tho North s t s:t Indiana conference, made a powerful exposition of tho relation of Christianity to this world at the First X. II. church Sunday morning. The bishop brought his text, taken from John, sixth chapter, ;th t re, "Then Simon l'eter answered him.N.ord, to whom shall wo ro'.' thou hast the words of eternal life.' to fix us on the modern conditions now confronting civilization. Itishop ?dcIowell said in part: "There is only one tiling that prevents us from beini? provincial. There is only one thin' that prevents u.s from bin- narrow and petty and small, and that is the eoaceptiou that wo are ourselves a part of humanity. C'lirNtiatiity Imperial. ''Some people have said that Christianity stands discredited today. Because of what has happened in the list 12 month., becau.se of the awfulness of the war that has plunged nations1 into a suffering untold miseries, these samo people have said that the character of the living Christ is discredited. The character of the e'hrit. is not discredited. His character i. not stained. His re-putation wa never more firmly established, his peer never more potent and strong. I say to you here- this mornint; that Christianity is eithe-r imperial or it is not Christianity. "The' reputations of writers. ef kin-, of soldiers, o theedeoians, ef politicians have been smirched the' last 1 months.

They say that con rape the noblest trait in any be-imr can stand alone. Ihit I tell you that it cannot stand alone, for if it eloes it becomes brutality. It must have another virtue with it. "The Christian ideal of character is Church's Duty To Attain Goal Set By Christ That Jesus Christ left a message to the Christians of the world to carry on the same work lie conducted durii p His life on earth and that it is tho duty of the church to labor toward the peial He set was the substance of the : ermen preached at the Grace Methodist Kpiseopal church .Sunday morninp hy Dr. G. Franklin Kcam, Now York city, secretary of the board of education of the Methodist Kpiseopal church. Dr. Keani took as his text the Gospel of t. John. 1'0:21. "As the father has sent me even so send I you." The minister explained the circumstances relating to the text, stating that it was given to His followers by Christ on the' day of His ascension into heaven. Ape of Kllicieiioy. "This is the a,;e of elticieney," asserted Dr. Ileam, "and emphasis ia beinp laid upon al' that is e.sent;uh Men are thinkinp deeply of their business, science is beinp studied in order to learn the true facts concerning all things. This same searchlight of thought is being turned upon religion. "When Jesus Christ uttered t hoses words. 'As the father has sent me even so send I you,' H.- bestowed a great task upon His followers. They must make a supreme effort to 'carry eut that 'ommand although it mean the hurden ef tho cross which He carried until human strength could stand no more. "Jesus Christ also said. 'I come that they may have life and have it abundantly. It was not so long ago that people began to interpret those words as they were really meant. Years ago some men thought to make themselves eif more service by shutting themselves off from the world, thus escaping all of its evils. Hut Jesus Christ wants His people to have- life and hae it 'abundantly.' He wants them to mix in tho social, labor, art and science lifo eif the world. He conic- not to rob men oi to take men out of the world but to take the evil out of the worhl. Valued .Man's Life Alsme AM. "Jesus Christ al-ied the life of a man greater than all the rest of the things in the world. There' have been j time's when nun have been vahmd at nothing, and even now. over in laizvpe. they are thinking of men by the hundred thousand, not as individual souls. An army of prayers should go up to God that the weary and worn men of the bloody trenches might looV. up through the haze and smoke and din of battle and see the cross and hear tho cry of 'peace' on earth and good will to men."

Gives Christ's Sacrifice As Most Perfect That Jesus Christ's crucifixion and His sacrifice for His disciples and humanity, was a necessity and that it was the most perfect sacrifice in the history of the world, was the essence of a sermon preached by Rev. 1 D. Sager at tho Stull Memorial church Sunday morning. Itcv. Mr. .Sager is pastor of the church at New Carlisle, and has often spoken before in local churches. The regular pastor of tho church. Itcv. J. F. .McKay, accepted a call from a congregation in another city, and for the past two Sundays llev. A. V. Ilabbs of Ies Moines, la., has been filling the pulpit. Hew Mr. ager took as his text the l'.th verse of the 17th chapter of tho Hook of John: "I sanctify myself so that they may he sanctified in the Truth." The speaker declared that the later American version of his text was nearer the original, and his sermon was based upon the following translantion: America n Version. "I consecrate myself in oreler that they may be perfectly sanctified in the truth." "Tin Savior believed that his consecration would mean the consecration of His disciples," said the speaker. "And in their coming closer to the truth of Alis teachings, so would the worel bo spread over the earth. These followers of His were true believers, and the Savior, knowing this, sought by the most emphatic means to place His teachings before them. "Why did He consecrate Himself upon the cross? So that His disciples migh be consec-ated. His was a devilling spirit, hallowed by the protection of His Father. Giving His life at the time when His teachings were being received with some show of belief by the people of the earth, has been a point of discussion with many of the earth's peoples, yet we believe that His act was th climax te) a life of tenderr.ess and blessed teaching. Allowed Spirit te t.o Forth. "The Xivior knew that not by His appearance alone could be solved tb problem of worbl-wiile teaching. i o know that it was impossible for Him to speak to more than erne people at one time. It was not possible fer Him to spread His teachings in more than ono locality at a time. Therefore Ho allowed His holy spirit to go forth into the world, knowing that, blessed and in Cod's favor, it would bring more people to the liht than His teachings. "Sc it is today. We know that Je'sus Christ has sacrificed His life that we may enter the kingdom of heaven. V know- that He has asceiuled and that He sits at the right hand of Cod.

JUSTICE NEEDED IN WORLD TODAY

j Spirit of Caeser Arrayed Against Christ Spirit Says Dr. George P. Grove. "A man's a man for a that" spirit, induced by Christ's teachings instead of the present idea of nationalism. Is the solution for the perplexities and problems of the present elay. according to Iiev. George It. Gross. D. D., president ef DePauw university, who spoke at the evening services at St. Paul's M. i:. church Sunday. The idea, according to Dr. Grose, is ihat man must learn to love hU brother not because his brother is a German, or an Englishman, or an Italian, or a member of any of the other nationalities, but because in Christ every man is his brother. ,rWe must look past the nationality," he said. "We must see the man." "We have today." he said, "the world question. We must learn to live with men of all nations. We must be able to solve the question of having an inferior race live in peace and harmony with a superior race. We must learn how. as superior people, to live with an inferior people and not make use of our superiority for seliisn purposes. The inferior race'must learn to live with a superior race and not be aware of their inferiority. .Men of All Colors. "We have in this world today men of various colors; men of various nations; men who have been brought up under various forms of governments; men who have different ideals, different views and who have received different training. "This world In the last half century has shown remarkable progress. Tho happenings of the day in foreign countries are spread before us at our breakfast by the morning papers. We can talk from New York to San Francisco. We have been brought so closely together that we must needs ho neighbors. "This is oho of the big questions of the day. And only through the spirit of Justice, the spirit of humanity, will we be aide to live in harmony.' Wo must learn to trtat men as men and not treat them as being of nationality other than ours." Dr. Gross in his sermon dwelt on the two spirits that are opposed. The spirits that are responsible for the conflict of the present day. One of thr-Fc is the spirit of the world, the other is tho spirit of Christ. The Spirit of Caesar. The present European war, he declared, is the result of the spirit of the world. It is the result of the spirit of Caesar, which was to conquer by might. Opposed to this Is the spirit of Christ, which is the spirit of service. Germany, ho declared, was a victim of the spirit of might. "Necessity knows no law" is the policy of the German government. It is, ho said, a country that is greedy with power. It has violated laws of humanity, violated the laws of nations, all in order to accomplish its purpose, which is to secure power in order to assert its rulership over others. "While wo can say," ho said, "that Germany has violated . international law by sending a thousand souls to their Maker, and admit that Engdand has violated international law by imposing a blockade which means the starvation of men, women and children in Germany, we should remember that tho same spirit is being shown in our own country. ;Ha:nes Spirit of World. "We cannot condemn the spirit when shown by Germans and British and approve It when shown by our own people. 'For it is this spirit, tho spirit eif Caesar, that Is responsible for our industrial trembles ami our commercial tragedies." In the last 20 years, said the speaker, a great change has come over tho country. Tho people have demanded that power and wealth shall not bo used for selfish purposes. The people have ruleel that no man, no group of men nor no corporation shall use power for the sake of showing rulership. The old days when a railroad president had the power to kill a city; to create a new community through the aid of rebates, is past. The spirit of regulation is here and the books on politic 1 economy are being rewritten. The country teday demands justice for all. A new spirit has awakened. This has been accomplished, he said, because the people of today are interested in their fellowmen. Thoy have taken hold of the social question, for 'hey realize that what Is good for all is goeel for ono. Personal Apieal Nettled. Dr. Gross stateel that the church could not do much warning. It should continue to point out the pitfalls, but more stress should be placed on the value of personal character. Man should not only be told that he should not do. but he should be impressed with the fact that as he lives, his character will form. Ho must be urged to fit himself for the tinal test. He should be told to live up to an ideaL Christ, he said, never neglected the personal side. In all His teachings He urged man to fit himself so that .vhen he was called on he would not be found wanting. The speaker was loud in his praise for what had been accomplished by Germany. He said it had progressed wonderfully in the last half century, but that the present trouble was due to the desire for power in order to shev her rulership. .She Is permeated with the idea of a elcstiny to rule and intend. "to hack her way through." The present world problem, he said, can en!y be solved by the Christ spirit. Nationalism has been tried, but has been found wanting. There must be a spirit of justice. Man must see in man. a man. The world has progressed too much and today we are all of tho world, nations in this last half century have grown too small. The world today is our problem and we must meet it. i rOH A LIMITF.I) TIME I r ill ii . i ..... i win can ior jour uvcnuai aaiu put on a new velvet collar for 90c.

As God Rev. Harrold of Terre Haute Gives Sermon at Epworth Memorial. Rev. C. C. Harrold of tho Liberty Avenuo Methodist church of Terre Haute delivered the Sunday morning sermon at the Epworth Memorial church. He chose as his text Gea. 2:13, "And the Lord took the man and put him into the garden of Eebui to dress it and to keep it" and St. Mark 10:15, "And he said unto them, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel te every creature." The speaker showed in his sermon what he considered to be the relationship between these seemingly unrelated versos. In substance he said: "Ages ago God created the heavens and the earth. It matters little how long a time was consumed in tho creation or in just what manner it was brought about, but it is of the greatest importance that God should he taken into account as the Creator, it is foyond the power of the human mind to grasp the measureless distances ef tho great universe which God made' nor can man duplicate tho perfect workmanship of the Wonderful parts that go to make up the world a.s man knows it. Gave Power to Improve. "When, however, this wonderful world was created God took the man and put him into the garden and gave him the power to improve it.

Impressive services marked the ordination of 12 young men into the Methodist ministry Sunday afternoon at the First M. E. church by Bishop William Frascr McDowell. Nine young men were ordained as ciders and three as deacons. Thos'e who wero ordained as elders were, F. II. Uriggw. Guy O. Carpenter, G. C. Francis, W. K. lngals, Elmer Jones, C. H. Law, A. li. Nimz. F. C. Sager and C. O. Michael. Those who were ordained deacons were, H. C. Alley, J. K. Dean iCad Paul llitchinson. Preceding the reading; of the service. Dr. Lynn Harohl Hough, Chicago, delivered a .short sermon. Dr. Hough spoke of the claims that God had on young men, and that the latter when feeling the divine call should answer it with all the fervor they could summon. Xo Weaklings Wanted. "And the young men that God wants," continued Dr. Hough, "are those who are strong men. He wants not a weakling, one who is afraid to face the great issues, but strong men physically, intellectually. God wants a human ministry. 3od wants young men who will consecrate themselves to the work of leading others into the kingdom. There is? no nebler work, no greater career than that which makes it possible for a man to bring his brothers into the kingdom of God." With the closing of the ordination service, Ifishop McDowel asked that those who desired to give themselves to God and do His bidding and His work to come to the altar ami kneel with those who were being ordained. Many persons from the audience camo forward. Many Come Forward. The great church was tilled, every seat being occupied. The congregation joined in singing the gospel hymns as the bishop received the young men and women at tho altar who accepted the call. Many wives, mothers and fathers of those who were ordained kneeled with the bishop and district superintendents during the ordination. They came forward at the request of tho bishop. Preceding the ordination service, a memorial service was held. The Rev. George W. Switzer of Itomney delivered the memorial sermon, spoaking of the liv-os of the ministers who had died during the year. He also spoke of the ministers' work, how thoy enjoyed the confidence of people, the respect of the church of God, and tho sympathy of those interested in the church. "I do net care to emphasize the side of thej ministry," said Rev. Switzer, "which reilecti the hardships, the toils and tribulations that the ministers must undergo. It is enough that we a brotherhood have the greatest of all privileges that of serving Jesus Christ which is the highest in the world. We are the ambassadors of Him, and that is a great blessing in itself. The ministry offers to the young man a wonderful opportunity for doing good, for himself, his fellowman, the church, the community, and the nation at large." ST.

of World Is

Commanded It ning; the marvels of inventive skill which have made it possible for www to live and to adance in spite of th" h:i Triers of nature. There is on every hand indicath n of the fact th at Tu.tn has fulfilled the command of God to K into the garden and dress it. What has been done by the human race dicates to each and every one r.f us that it is intended for us to take th difficulties of life and make them into opportunities. "Man is learning to master th great world in accordance with th command of God and all trie aehiowments of tho rae-e are ph-asing to (b'd. Whateer we do should be done well. for Geid is pleaded with go-d workmanship no matter how small the task may be. Paid Redemption Price. "Xeit only did God create the world and then put man into it to improve it, hut he also paid tho price for the redemption of the world and then gave the command to go into all the world and preach the ::ospd te every creature. in each case God did his part and then uavc 'man the command and the power to continue the work. As men have shut themselves in laboratories and workshops and have labored tirelessly in onh-r to discover the new things that have' aided in the advancement of the race, so we shemld conduct ourselves in the work of showing that there is truth in the religion of God. "There is a pernor greater than the power e-f C,od alone and that is the power of Cod and man oomhined. It might have been that tho power of God alone would have been the great -test but it was not so ore le red b God. It pleased God to have man work with Him and so He cannot do without th aid of each one of us. Tho ono gr-:at duty of man. therefore, is to aid in the work of improving the werld and the human race." il REAPS OIL! m i Nothing in Life if Man Throws Away Christianity Says Rev. Craig. Rev. George F. Craig of Frankfort, talked on "Iafe's Activities, or the Rebound of Character" at the First Presbyterian church Sunday night, taking as his text .t. Matthew 7:2, "For ith what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall ue measured to you again." Kev. Craig's sermon was along tho lines of the words of the lJibh "Whatsoever a man soweth, so shall he also reap." He pointed out that whatever men give to life whether it be good or evil they get practically tho same thing in return. "When a young man loiters his youth away and docs not work for anything or have any ambition, old age finds him in poverty and want. When he throws away all of the bot things in life in his younger days, old age lind him in hardship. In tho same way, if we throw away Christianity, we aro sure to lind later that there is very little in life for us. Poetic Justness in Ufc. "Truly 'whatsoever a man soweth, so shall he also reap.' The underlying principle is always there. There is a poetic justness in life. "If we lind a person unjustly plotting and planning against another, in the end we are sure te lind that person caught in his own trap. History and tho Bible prove this. In the case ef Haymen, who built galhms to hang people, we lind him linally hanged on the gallows that were constructed by him. Nature got revenge on Napoleon for hi.s transgressions. God and nature are sure to ge t back at us. "Whatsoever a man gives to life, hegets in return. If we give nothing, we get nothing. Rut if we give virtue, truth and all the best in life to life, we finel that life heaps its bounties on us in the end. God i lAoryAvhcro. "Two men of equal intellect mii-'ht start out to find a certain thing and i inc may finel it, while the other may not. An astronomer might take his telescope and all of his lino instruments to look for God. He looks all over the world and all over the universe, but cannot lind Him. He expects to see Him sitting some place viewing what is going on in the world. Rut the other, like ir Isaac Newton, goes out to find God in a different manner. He sees Him in all of the things of nature. He finds Him manifested everywhere. One can easily find God. if he looks lor Him in the right way. 'Every child comes into th world as a particular thought of God. As we travel alon;j life's road we fel that life has a great many lessons. We find that we are dull and stupid. Our spirits lag and our souls are moulded slowly. We think that the lessons are too hard. When we hit the hard stone wall of daily life, we seunetini'-s drop back and give our place to others, complaining that our lot is an unhappy one. We are here fr a purposeknown only to God. "If we make large investments vve shall find that large dividends are declared to us. Our great purpose in life is making life itelf.

The speaker pointed out how th:s wit ck had b- a a :it-"i-lcss one and caused by lib- :" : that the captian of the ship fad Ja t h.-en willing to h ed tile a-iv:-e ,,f when the latter had v. arn.-d him not to pat to sea. The eapta.n he likened to main people of todtly who will listen respe e'lfully to a pr a- h r in order nt to i ; i : 1 1 him only to turn aside and frg t the advice uiven.

It was because Raul had gotten into dihiealties that he linally lound himself on the hlp .1 prisoner to be dviiveied into the hands of tiie Roman authorities. Likening Raul's voy.tge to life. Rev. Williams related vividly the dangers whieh beset every pors-m. As "when the south Wind blew softlv" the oaptain of the ship set sail thinking that he could safely make the voyage, .o those? making the voyage of life think little ef clanger when the south wind of sin blows softly. There is a seducivo influence- e."!ted by sin lait ultimately there comes a change and s:n becomes like the te mpestuous wind, "Ruroclydon", which w reeked the ship on which Paul was a priseme r. The speaker likened the help that can be gie-n to smful man to the) work of undergirding the ship to save it from being pounced to pc ices by the tempest. Put for th sinful man there is hope such as there was for the sailors when Paul admonished them to be of good cheer, said the speaker, was the line climax in tho lite of a sinful man for by that advice he could know that there need be ne bjss of life.
