Rev. G. E. Enterlinc Scores Men Who Go No Farther Than Flag Waving. "The patriot im th.it counts 1. the patriotism that is willing to sarrilice in the interest. f onf's ronntry, in time of peace as well as in war," i 1 P.ov. George I". Enterline, paster of the Quirn y Street Raptist Church, in his H-rmnn Sunday on ' The Patriotism That Counts." It v. Enterline scored the I'ag-waving Patriot, who love for their country extends no farther than waving nnJ inestioned the sir.eercty of '"those institutions, industrif s and individuals that break down the arm-t earing power of our own manhood." In this connection he said: "The most incongruous sight I know of is a saloon, barroom. !ir-wcry or distillery dev orated w ith the American flag." The fermon was based on the text of Psalms l "if I do not re member thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof .f my mouth; if I prefer net Jerusalem above my chief joy." It was in part: Counterfeit Patriot. "Just because patriotism is noble and praiseworthy there are men who counterfeit it. There is mm h that poses as patriotism that is of little or no value. A lot of noise on national holidays or other occasions is not necessarily patriotism. Neither is the oratorical display of fine, tlowery speeches a proof of genuine patriotism. "The patriotism that counts is that which is willing to sacrifice in tie interests of one's country. Every mother uh gives a son to ho separated from her caressing l.osom arid sends him to the front to face whatever dinner and hardship may be there, is manifesting the truest patriotism. The many homes in our land from whbh two or three, even as many as six sons, go to take up arm? in defense of country and her noble ideals show a patriotism that borders on the sublime. The man who is willing to sacrifice money or position in order that his country's interests may he advanced; the vounK man who interrupts his college or high school course thus jeopardizing his chances to realize a nohie ambition in life, shows patriotism of the genuine type. "The patriotism that counts is the hind that H open-eyed: the kind that sees its country's real enemies, whether these be at home or ahroad. The patriotism that counts is a patriotism in times of peace as well as in war: the kind that has as much tegard for the purity of the American home and fireside as for the American flap:; the kind that helices that whatever hefouls the home strikes at the flap."

UL OF GHRIST1ITI Rev. M. C. Hunt Declares It One of Three Great Essentials of True Religion. "Kindness is one of the three great essentials of true religion", declared the Rev. M. Hunt at the Trinity M. K. church Sunday morning. The service was in keeping with the nationally observed Humane Sunday. '"Humaneness is not subsidiary, but fundamental, lo vital religion. It is not an after-tnought. nor an amendment, but i primal part of faith. It is a fruit of the spirit, an evidence of genuine Christianity. A cruel, hard-heart is never the abiding place of the pitying Clod, nor does it furnish the soil out of which can snu noble character. "Kindness, which is not affectation or condescension, but a heart attitude. ., soul attribute, is not limited to the human sphere. A man's horse or doi will know something about the genuineness of his master's religion. A lUiddhist will be kind to an animal through fear, thinking it may b the soul of some departed relative; but a Christian will be considerate through love and understanding. He will unite with forces of love against the powers tha produce suffering, and will refuse to needlessly add to the pain in the world hy bringing it to even the least of God's creatures. Cruelty nrrciU Criminality. "Rut even if God had made theanimal world feelingless. unkindness should still be deplored because of its retroactive effect on man. Cruelty in the child breeds criminality in th" man. Nero, the human monster, who devised his hellish cruelties for the early Christians, received his training in childhood by cruelty to injects and animals. And Lincoln, the great-hearted, wax more compaionate as a man because as a child he would not permit even a bird to suffer if he could prevent. Nothing ir. little that makes character, ami if a man will step aside to keep from treading on a worm, he i is greater for it. ! "The other two elements in vital j religion re o do justly, and to all humbly with Clod.

HAND OF GOD DIRECTS NATION SAYS PASTOR "The greatest conflict we ore called upon to fight is the contlict between righteousness and worldliness." declared Rev. V. C. Morris Sunday at the Wesleyan Methodist church on "The Christian Attitude Toward the War in the Light of History." Rev. Morris said that the hand ot God is proven to be upon the nation by the history of our growth and development. He traced the history of American victories from the finst days of victory over nature and savages until the present day. He upheld the action of the president In calling for war at the present time and said that the Christian attitude should be one of loyalty to his country. In conclusion he pointed out some of the benefits which come through war in the quickening of spirituality and in more material ways. URGES MORE ACTIVITY IN SPIRITUAL WORKS Gen. William Booth, founder of j the salvation army, and Rilly Sun day were mentioned as men who were aroused from Idle pursuits unto a meritorious work by Capt. Nehemiah Rrookes in his sermon sunday evening at the Salvation army mission on "The Time for Awakening." Capt. Rrookes pointed out the dangers of "the sleep of indifference" and urged his hearers to awaken to a more active concern for spiritual matters. "Doubts and fears and slumbering, dull perception, prevent activity and blight the career of individuals who fail to put good desires into practice," he said. U. S. Battleships , 1 hl f-T .

SAYS U.S.WILL WIN IF SHE TRUSTS IN GOD After the patriotic sermon cn "David and Goliath" by Rev. A. K. Thomas, pastor of the First Urethren church, in which he said that victory would come to America in the present war as it came to David in his light with Goliath, if its people only trust in God, th.e congregation arose and sang "America" and took a standing vote to support the president. A special offering was taken to purchase a Hag to place on the church tower. Rev. Thomas attributed David'svictory over Goliath to his faith and confidence in God. "David's faith Is the lirst thing to be noticed in this familiar incident," he said. "This faith was born in secret and nourished in solitude. As day after clay he tended his flock in the fields David beheld the heavens as the vast tent in which God dwelt. His life was so rooted and grounded in God that nothing could disturb him. His faith stood the test of daily life and the test of rebuke. In his cry: 'In the name of the Lord of hosts the God of the armies of Israel am I corae', we have suggested the real force hack of all victory. He who today is fighting in the name of the Lord of hosts will win. "A mighty conflict is waging. Nations are fighting against nations. Old Glory stands ready to defend that noble heritage which was purchased at an awful price. It is not great armies that always win. It is right that eventually wins, Let us learn as did David when the enemy was crushing his people that God will come to our support if we trust in Him," said Rev. Thomas in conclusion. FINISHING TOUCHES PUT ON NEW HOTEL Work on the intericr of the newJefferson hotel is rapidly nearing completion. The Stewart Decorating Co., which has been busy during the j last week w ill probably finish its work early this week. Other finishing touches will be given tin interior of the house and will probably be ready for the formal opening by May 1, if sutlicient help can be secured by the management. Lack of help is causing much difficulty to the hotel management in making final arrangements for the grand opening, according to Stacy Van Valkenberg, manager. It is almost impossible to secure help of any kind. The cafe which has been attractively furnished and equipped will he open for the public as soon as the help problem can be solved and a few final arrangements made. It was opened for the use of guests of the hotel for the first time Saturday night. J. II. Wells, a caterer of long experience in some of the best known hotels in the country, is in charge. AD-SELL ARRANGES ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM An attractive program has been arranged lor the next meeting of the Ad .Sell league Thursday night at the Oliver hotel. W. C.

Frskine. president of the Studebaker corporation, will act as toastmaster at the dinner and George H. Willman. advertising manager of the local corporation, will speak. MANY LACK BACKBONE DECLARES PASTOR "What we lack in all departments c f life as wa ll as in the church is backbone. What we need is vertebrae made out of Rlymouth rock." declared Rev. W. A. Rrundige, pastor of the Indiana Avenue Christian rhuich. in his sermon on "Heroes of Faith." "No man has a right to sit mi the fence. Hvery feme should he made of barbed wire." was Rev. Rrundi'-:e's caustic comment in speaking of the necessity of being a hero of faith. The speaker explained the four essentials of heroic faith, which, he said, are a capacity for sacrifice, a persisted ' in right doing, a willingness to die fr. the failh. ami a spirit of courage in resisting temptation, in denv ing to s' lf the pleasure of sip. een by a sr-lf-donial in helper thin-1- "There is something higher than one's rights and that is ti c rights of other peope," said Rev .

Byrer Says Supreme Test is to Choose Between Christ and Dollar. "Religion should he the last cause on which to practice economy, yet it is often the lirst," asserted Rev. G. F. Ryrer. pastor of the Conference Memorial church, in his sermon Sunday on "The Supreme Test," which he said comes when we must decide hctvveen Christ and the dollar. The sermon was hased 'on the text of Matthew In which Judas is quoted as saying in reference to the anointment of Jesus hy Mary Magdelene. "To What Purpose is This Waste?" Rev. Ryrer scored the faTse philanthropy of the day "A philanthropy that is not religious is small and feehle," he declared. "In the incident of the anointing of the feet of Jesus we find Him as usual indehted to others. It seems a humble position for Him who claimed to he a King of Kings and a Kord of Lords. How meekly He receives what is given Him. The disciples. especially Judas, condemned Mary's: manifestation of love for Jesus as extravagance, but Jesus saw that it was prompted hy love and he made use of the occasion to expound His teaching in regard to economy. He asserted by his actions that the wealth which forbids the demonstration of love is a curse not a blessing. Religion A!mvo Iononty. "Religion rises above economy," said the speaker in this connection. "Some come just near enough to religion to know its cost and turn cway before they know the joy of the uift. "Jesus also made use of the occasion to explain His attitude toward the poor." continued Rev. Ryrer. "It is a very popular teaching today that it is better to give to the poor direct than to 2ive to the church. Jesus taimht otherwise. History proves that th? very best friends of the poor hÄve been the religious. This very incident has been the cause of millions of dollars being given in charity. The more a man truly worships Christ the more he regards the pcor. Jesus does not condemn social Christianity but He irould have ua know that spiritual Christianity is better than social Christianity. The social without the spiritual will not lorn: endure. "Jesus does not look so much on what we gie as ra the spirit of the r'iv in.tr and on w hat is left that we did not ivc. Which are we doinsr. anointing Jesus or keeping things for ourselves'.'" asked the ! speaker in conclus.on. !

"If eu do net know by experience and contact with Him that God is, love." said Rev. Decker, you will never know it. No amount of argument can make it real. It is the heart, not the head, that responds to the declaration that 'God is love.' And it is for this reason that Jesus
