THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 b 11 SPEAKERS EXTOL PILGRIM FATHERS Sturdy Character of Early Settlers Senator Fess’ Text Before Mayflower Society. The fortitude and sturdy charac- ters of the Pilgrim fathers were ex- tolled by Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohlo, Representative William B. Oliver of Alabama and Addison P. Munroe, governor general of the Gen. eral Society of Mayflower Descend- ants, at the nineteenth annual din- ner of the Soclety of Mayflower De- scendants at the Mayflower Hotel last night. Senator Fess said that the tenets ‘moodied in the compact signed in the cabin of the Mayflower formed the basis on which the American Government was built, having been drawn up by men tired of religlous oppression and who knew the value of freedom, and resolved to fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness. The Government finally evolved from the efforts of the Pil- grims, he said, is one that was read- ily adopted by a number of other countrfes and one which is destined to live through eternity. Value of Work Discussed. There is no way to estimate the value of the ideals established by the forefathers, the Senator said, but an idea of its worth may be gained from the fact that from 13 colomles with 3,000,000 people, who could not bor- Tow $30,000 from Holland without ample security, there has grown 48 Siates with 110,000,000 inhabitants, who own 11,000,000 homes capable of Lousing 50,000,000 people, and the wealth represeated in these homes s staggering to even contemplate.' This, lie said, is the Nation started by those who landed on the Mayflower, half of whom died from cold and want within the first year. hurch represented in the 1s to be retained, propagated and allowed to exist, it is up not oply to the blood descendants of the 1M- grims but descendants in spirit and conscience as well to strive to main- taln fts existence, Representative Oliver declared. He cited the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock as the greatest monument in all history. Nothing stimulates future develop- ment of this Nation as the lesson to be taken from the trials and hard- ships endured by that sturdy group of determined people, he said. They arrived with habits of industry and frugality and with very little money, he sald, but were set on the estab- tishment of their own religious standards. Immigrants should be compelled,| after reasonable length of time, to permit of their learning American ways and language, to assume ellegiance to the flag or return to the land whence they came, Mr. s belng too much abused, he said, but he felt that it is safer throug! the outspoken word than to be propagated through subterranean methods. There is an increasing rate of bolshevism, radicalism and other freak doctrines, he sald, and the first duty of any patriotic organization should be to adopt the motto of * Guard” and stump out every to arise in this country. The Con- stitution is the Rock of Gibraltar to America, Mr. Munroe declared, and should not be tampered with. The first 12 or 15 amendments to this document were necessary because every circumstance could not be fore- seen by the forefathers, he sald, but the last few amendments are not espectally desirable. More liberty and happiness is granted by the Consti- tution, he declared, than is contained fn any document ever adopted in all the world, and it should be defended and maintained by word and deed, if need be. Gen. A. W. Greely also spoke. Frank H. Briggs, governor of the soclety, who was toastmaster, an- nounced that permanent headquar- ters had been established In the mew Mayflower Hotel. Rev. Clearance Rice of the Church of Our Father de- livered the invocation. Solos were given by Fred J. Eden, accompanied by Mrs. Elsie Harvey Weaver. The event was concluded by the singing of “Duke Street” Dancing followed until midnight. List of Guests. The guests includea: Decatur Ax- tell, John Barber, Mrs. Jesse N. Bar- ber, Capt.

Emphasizing that the youth of to- day cannot afford to put aside “those substantial things of life' Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes out- lined what he considered the things most worth while in an address before the Vaughn Bible Class of the Cal- vary Baptist Church, at & banquet in the Sunday school room of the church last night. The occasion marked the thirty-fourth annual banquet of the class. “We are all seeking to make the most of the great adventure we call life,” declared Secretary Hughes. “To- day we have life more abundantly than ever before, better nourished, more completely safeguarded, enriched beyond the imagination of past gen- erations. No one should look askance upon the eagerness and zest with which youth seizes upon its oppor- tunity,” continued Mr. Hughes. Need of Poise Seen. “The Master came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly,” he sald. “We must have Its joy, {ts untiring pursuits, its fresh victories. But, so far as the tendency of our time is toward an in- crease of nervous irritability, so far as there is disclosed a want of self- control, & lack of poise and mastery, the sacrifice of the more permanent interests and satisfactions to others that are translent and corrupting, we find not only cause for regret, but the need of bringing up reinforcements through the consideration of what is bes! ; “What is most worth while? “Health 1s, for one thing. I do mot mean simply the abounding vigor of youth with abundance of fresh air and exercise, with its reserves which seem to mock the warnings of elders. I mean, rather, the sustained and pro- tected strength which is based on the conservation of physical resources and gives promise of long life well lved. “Knowledge is worth while.

His beard and hair were unkempt, and the scar sst down against him was & red seam tha ran from the left temple to the chin, where it lost itsel? in grizzled hair. He stooped, und walked with a dragging step. Henry, who for the moment was speaking to Sir Willlam, looked at him casually enough. He opened his list, and in turning the page, the papers slipped from his'hand and fell. George Patterson picked them up. Henry went on to the next name. Jane had keyed herself up to meeting him at teatime, but neither Henry nor Sir Willlam appeared. “Capt. March is an extremely con- scientious person,” said Lady Heri- tage.

Jane and Henry did not meet until dinner time. As she dressed Jane kept looking at herself in the glass. She was pale, and she must 'not look pale. She took a towel and rubbed her cheeks—that was better. Then a little later, when she looked again, her eyes were far too bright, her face unnaturally flushed. “As if any one was going to look at It was Ray- you at all—idiot!” she sald. After this she kept her back to the mirror. In all the books that she had ever read the secrstary or companion in- variably wore a dinner dress of black silk, made, preferably, out of one which had belonged to a grand- mother or some even more remote relative. In this garb she outshone all the other women and annexed the affections of at least two of the most eligible men Renata did not possess a black silk gown. “Thank goodness, for I should look perfectly ,awful in it,” was Jane's thought. With almost equal distaste she viewéd the white muslin sacred to prize-givings and school concerts. Attired in this garment Renata had played the “Sonata Pathetique” amidst the applause of boarders and parents. With this pale blue sash about her waist she had recited “How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix.” Jane tled it in a vicious knot Her only comfort as she went downstairs was that it was impossible to look more like a school- girl and less like a conspirator. Sir William and Henry were in the hall—Mr. Ember, too, close to the fire as usual. Sir William jerked his head in Jane's direction and grunted, “Miss Molloy, m¥ daughter's secretar: Henry bowed. Jane inclined her head. Next moment they all turned to watch Raymond Heritage come down the stair. She wore black velvet. Her neck and arms were bate. A long rope of pearls fell to her knee. Jane wondered whether the world held another woman so beautiful, then looked quickly at Henry, and the same thought was visible upon @enry's face. Dinner was not a cheerful meal. Lady Heritagsé hardly opened her Upe. Sir Willlam sat hunched for- ward over the table; when addressed the remark had to be repeated be- fore he answered; he drank a good deal. . Jane considered that a modest silence became her, and the conversa- tion was sustained with some effect of strain by Capt. March and Mr. Bmber. They talked fitfully of pol. ftics, musical comedy, the weather and the American exchange. s paa o malicle so Jans-atdeery TheAstonishingAdventure Summers, Mi H. W.

By PATRICIA WENTWORTH (Copyright, 1925, by Small, Maysard & Os.) when she and Lady Heritage found their way to the drawing room. Henry wondered at their using this large, formal room for so small & party. His aunt, he remem- bered, had kept it shut up for the most part. The sense of space was, however, grateful to Jane. The small circle of candlelight in the dining room had seemed to shut them in, forcing an intimacy for which no one of them was prepared. The vellow drawing room was a very stately apartment. The walls were hung with a Chinese damask which a hundred years had not rob- bed of its imperial color. Beneath their pagoda-patterned _blue linen covers Jane knew that the chairs and sofas wore a stiff vellow satin like a secret pride. Electric candles in elaborate sconces threw a cold, steady light upon the scene. Lady Heritage sat by the fire, the Revue des Deux Mondes in her hand. Her eyes were on the page and never left it, but she was not reading. In 15 minutes her glance had not shifted and the page remained unturned. Then the door opened and the two younger men came in. Lady Heritage looked up for a moment and then went back to her Revue. She made no attempt to entertain Capt. March, who, for his part, showed some de- sire to be entertained. “You are using the big rooms, I see. Aunt Mary always said they were too cold. You remember she always sat in the blue parlor, or the little oak room at the head of the stair.” Raymond's 1ip lifted slightly. “I'm afraid the blue parlor would not be very comfortable now,” she said without looking up. Henry possessed a persevering na- ture. He produced, in rapid succes- sion, a remark about the weather, an inquiry as to the productiveness of the kitchen garden, and a comment. upon the pleasant warmth of thé log fire. The first and last of these ef- forts ellcited no reply at all. To the question about the garden produce Lady Heritage answered that she had no_idea. Mr. Ember's habitual of cynicism bedame a marked. Jane had the feeling that pressure in the atmosphere steadily on the increase. “Won't you sing something, Ray- mond,” . sald Henry. His pleasant easc of manner appeared quite im- pervious to snubs. 2 Lady Heritage closed the “Revue des Deux Mondes” and, for the first time, looked full at Capt. March. If he was startled by the furious re- sentment of that gaze he did not show it. : : “And what do you expect me to sing, Henry?" she sald—"“the latest out of “The Jazz Girls'?" “I don’t mind; whatever you like, but do sing, won't you?” Raymond got up with an abrupt movement. Walking to one of the long windows which opened:upon the terrace, she drew the heavy yellow brocade curtain back with a Jjerk. Beyond the glass the terrace lay in deepest shadow, but mooniight touched the sea. She bent, drew the bolt, and opened half the door. “The room {s stifiing,” she said. “Jeflrey, it's your fault they pile the fire up so, I wish you'd sometimes look at a calendar and realize that this s April, not January.

Art and literature make the most generous provisions. Knowledge and contem- plation can 1ift us above the drudgery of daily work,” he said. Loyalty Worth While. “Loyalty 18 worth while.

SR DESCRIBES OLDEST CHRISTIAN CHURCHES National Geographis Society Lec- ture Tells of Discoveries on Trip Through Abyssinia. Three - story Christian Churches carved out of solld rock, probably In the twelfth ocentury, were described for members of the National Geo- graphic Society last night by Dr. Harry V. Harlan in an address on Abyssinia at the New Masonic Temple. He reminded his audience that the Abyssinians have been Christians for 1,600 years—far longer than the peo- ple of northern Europe and Great Britailn—and that they followed the Jewish religlon for about 1,000 years befora they became Christianized. Dr. Harlan explained that, contrary to general bellef, the Abyssinians are not negroes, but are a Semetic people, whose ancestors invaded the country from Asia. They have stralght noses and high foreheads, and the women, less exposed than the men, often have fairly light skins. Most of the few negroes in the coun- try, he declared, ares slaves. In search of botanical specimens, Dr. Harlan went by caravan for a two-month journey across parts of Abyssinia seldom visited by Euro- peans or Americans. The members of the caravan lived largely on game and on bullocks given by the chiefs of the regions through which they passed, the native members of the party eating their meat raw. The carved churches were found at Lalabala, “the Jerusalem of Abys- sinia.” They were first reported by a Portuguese traveler in 1520. Be- tween that time and Dr. Harlan's visit only three or four Europeans have visited the strange edifices. LAST OF MEETINGS.

HUGH T. STEVENSON. GOOD CITIZENSHIP. (Temperance Lessorn.) Golden Text: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself—Ro- mans 13.9. We turn aside from our study of the life of Christ to consider upon ‘Washington's birthday a lesson upon “Good Citizenship.” In turning to Paul's letter to the Romans for our quarterly temperance lesson, we have in the section assigned for our study a message that is in harmony with the life of the Lord Jesus. Our civili- zation is a product of the teaching of the great apostle to the gentiles, whose preaching of the Gospel of the Risen Christ planted the seeds of our own national life. Paul found in the Gospel of our Lord messages of pa- triotism, philanthropy and plety. President Coolidge, in an article written when he was the Vice Presi- dent, pointed out the close connec- tion between our history and the re- liglous messages of the Scriptures, when he sald, “If I were preaching a segmon to my fellow Americans T shduld taks my text from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, for therein lles the explanation of our past accom- plishments and our future expecta- tions.” Our President saw clearly that while there is a separation be- tween Church and State, there does not exist a divorge between religion and the natlon’s life. The influence of religlon upon our national history can be traced In the reform move- ments that have swept over our coun- try. Mazzinl has pointed out that there is no reform movement that has not a religious basis. Being a Chris- tian does not exempt one from being a citizen. It calls for every Christian being a good citizen, according to the political philosophy of Paul, Looking back to the days of Wash- ington and recalling our history asa nation, we can see, what our Presi- dent has pointed out, that we can trace In our history the results of faith working out the application of the political principles of the Scrip- tures. The Constitution was written “in the midst of political chaos, des- perate financtal straits and the uncer- tainty of a form of government, all untried, yet our forefathers had faith that America would emerge trium- phant” Although they had falth In God and in His program for the new- born nation, none of Washington's day ever dreamed that America would be fulfilling the place she now holds in the family of nations. If we are to malntain our prestige, po- sition and power, we must take to heart the message of this lesson that emphasizes the need of law and order by pointing out the service, spirit and source of good citizenship. Every American ought to be gulded by the principles of political philosophy lald down by Paul in this lesson, so that we may fulflil our duty as citizens in public service. Citizen’s Service. The early Christians had a difficult task to survive without the protec- tion of the State, that did not recog- nize the Christian falth as one that was to be tolerated. They were per- mitted certain privileges because they were looked upon’as a sect of Judalsm, that was a recognized re- ligion. While governments are of God, not every government has ex- hibited the spirit that our Lord de- sires that administrations should pos- sess. Had there been the proper recognition of God's will and His law by those in authority in 1914, man- kind would not have been called to enter the Gethsemane of nations. It was due to the lack of Christianity by so-called Christian rulers in Eu- rope that forced us to take up arms to save democracy for the world. While there will always exist in any human institution defects, the apos- tle calls for us to remember Christ's command that men should render unto Cesear the things that are Caesar’s requires that every Christian should be loyal to his government. Paul would stem the tide of law- lessness that has broken out in our country llke a great flood, by sum- moning all the Christians in America to exert their influence, example and word to help make our land a law- abiding country. One who violates our laws, whenever he considers that his interests, wishes or pleasure are superior to the law of the State be- comes & destructive anarchist. The apostle insisted that the followers of Christ should live lives above re- UNITE IN COMMUNION. Christian Denomination Churches to Join in Lord’s Supper.

Reaistance should always be made in lawful ways, Whenever there is & need of reform. Spirit of Citizenship. No Christian will fail to pay his taxes, whether they be town, county, school, city, internal revenus or in- come tax. They must be met not because one fears the consequences of neglect, but out of love for our country gnd the desire to advance its interest. The man who loves his nation never seeks to dodge paying his taxes or performing his full duty as a citizen. The nations that de- termined to pay their debts to us have commenced to prosper. There I8 a close connection between our prosperity and meeting our obliga- tions. Paul emphasizes the teachings of Christ in reference to love, when he calls for men to observe the second portion of the Ten Commandments, that defined our obligations to our fellow citizens. If we love our nelgh- bors as ourselves the spirit of envy will be crushed, the desire for display will be lessened and we will cease to be careless concerning our obligations to our fellowmen. He calls for the development of a spirit of good will and fraternity among men that will make wars {mpossible. The obliga- tion to love one another s a debt, which we can never pay, except by a 1ife o floving service for the benefit of others. A good neighbor becomes a good citizen. His spirit of philan- thropy fills the community with joy that makes life worth while and makes obedience to law easy. The citizen who loves his fellow citizen s not moved by fear to obey the law. He is not prompted by self- interest. He is not thinking of how he may obey the letter of the law and destroy its principles. The Christian s prompted by love “that worketh no {ll to his neighbor’ to fulfill the law. Love removes the spirit of self-interest and fills us with sympathy for others in need. Source of Citisensh! Water rises to its level. Citizen- ship unless linked up with the source of all government is in danget of becoming destructive. We have wit- nessed In recent years how men by boring in have tried to change our form of government. The only safe- guard is to be found in men and women whose lives reveal their close tellowship with God. There existed in the time that Paul penned the epistle to the Romans cer- tain social evils and vices that are still with us. The apostls warned the members of the church in Rome against the danger of thelr day, which threatens soclety today as much as it did then. Paul speaks of three classes of Iniquity, which he classified as “works of darkness. Immorality, evil thinking and de. sires, and the indulgence in anything that was not clean and Christlike had to bo overcome. The apostle sought to encourage them to master the iniquity of their day by pointing out the fact that the Lord's return was imminent. In calling for them to look for the Lord's return and to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” Paul revealed the source of good citizenship. Democ- racy without the hope of the second advent and the life of Christ lived dally by His disciples is in danger. When the church realizes that His coming draws near and commences to reveal to men the character of thelr Lord in their daily life, the dangers that threaten a social upheaval will Eive way to a period of peace, prog- ress and prosperity through the ob- servance of law and the maintaining of order, not by force, but through love. Human brotherhood and the fraternity of nations is of slow growth, but history reveals its de- velopment. While we do not know when our Lord will return, we do know that if we are loyal to His teachings and that of His great apostles, we will recognize that there is a close rela- tion between patriotism and religion. We will reveal our love to God, our country and fellowmen by loyalty to the Natlon's flag, Constitution and laws. One can't be disloyal to the state and love God. One can't be faithful to Christ and look for His return and be untrue to his service as a citize: BEGINS SERMON SERIES. Rev. Dr. Cooke to Preach on Re- ligion at Church of Ascension.
