RESPECT FOR A Rev. J. Leo Sullivan Delivers Patriotic Address Before;' G. A.R. and Other War Veterans—Hits at K. K. K. 1 Members of the Grand Army, vet erans of the Spanlsh American and World War and their affiliated or- ganizations, us well as other inter sted citizens, gathered at §t. Joseph's church last evening at the annual Memorial exercises, Rev J Reo Sullivan was the speaker and in pay ing tribute to the defenders of this nation sald, discussing respect for authority, “The Panacea for the Iils of Our Age Memorable Days. “Venerable men of the Grand Army, you have come down to us from » former generation. Heaven has pounteously lengthened out your lives that you might see these memorable days. And memorable days they are we live in! Days fraught with tre- mendous possibilities and unheard bappenings. “The mighty war that shook the Christian world like an earthquake, carrying down in its mad career, the proud and ancient thrones of Europe, s now a matter of history. Out of the ruins of the Titanic catastrophe phoenix-like, the nations of the old world are rising up with that im- mortal, undying spirit which the Creator endows people, as well as mdividuals. Poland, Ireland, Egypt, Czecho-Slovakia, are again resuming their places among the nations of the world. “The autocracies of Germany, Aus- tria, Russia and Turkey having fallen, the governments of these countries wre functioning under a more demo- tratic regime. The far-flung British smpire, held together for centuries, with a circle of forts and bavonets, is slowly but surely disintegrating as democracy marching at the head of world events beckons the nations to tall in line Disarmament Conference, “Only a short time ago Washing- ten welcomed the ambassadors of the great powers in that historic gather- ing, the disarmament conference, to bring about a lasting peace amongst the nations. Today the great powers still bent toward the mighty quest of reconstructing a war-worn and war- torn world and are trying to stabilize Its economic and industrial life, that nations may trod the path to normal- ey. And yet the process is alarm- Ingly slow; the days of world con- valescence are dragging along with discouraging pace. The world's spe- cialists at Genoa, Washington and Versailles are at sea in their efforts to diagnose the disease and prescribe the proper remedies for a world sick unto death. “On every side the spectre of rest- lessness is raising its hideous head; the spirit of insubordination; disre-| spect for lawfully constituted author- Ity; contempt for God's ten command- | ments; the young and the old vying| with one another in an orgy of crime until we wonder if that dreadful dis- tase which slew Russia, has not broken through its barriers and run riot through the Christian world, where is that respect for law and order for the voice of authority which is ever characteristic of Christian nations? Effect of War. “Perhaps the most interesting phenomenon of the war days was the remarkable degree to which the minds and hearts and conscience of the peo- ple were attuned, when the com- mands of the emperors and kings and presidents and prime ministers rang out above the dint of the battle forts. Possibly the obedience to the com- mands of those in authority was stretched to such a tension that the breaking-point was soon rsached and poor human nature swung back the opposite extreme suffice to say we have seen the strange paradox of a war-world following its leaders with an almost fanatical obedience, while today respect for authority, self-re- straint, discddpline is relegated prac- tically to the region of the unknown and unknowable. “If our age is afflicted with fever of restlessness, if murder and suicide, if lust and race suicide, if di vorce and low places, if dishonesty in high and low places is rampant, it is because men and women have thrown overboard in their tempestuous voy- age through this vale of tears the compass of Christianity; it is because they have steadfastly ignored the ten great rights which the Creator has set up to warn us of the rocks and shoals upon which so many poor humans have suffered eternal ship- wreck. We decry the bolshevistic tendencies of Russia, or the anarchis- tic and socialistic propensities of other sections of Europe. Essentials of Government ““We hold that politically a govern- ment is a monstrosity which has no head to direct, no laws to guide, no powers and sanctions to protect its subjects in their unalienable rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. ““And yet in the higher and far- more important domain of religion which frains men for their eternal citizenship in the kingdom of God, and by virtue of the same training makes them the ideal citizens of the state, many adopt the attitude of hol- shevists, angrchists and rationalistg; at the same time trying to convince themselves that this is the only course open to the free, independent, intelli- gent, progressive, dignified citizen of the 20th century. ““As American citizens, we ‘are not free to attack and condemn our form of government and shout loudly that a monarchial communistic state is preferable to ours! RBefore the sover- eign authority of this august nation the UTHORITY SEEN AS PANACEA FOR ILLS OF PRESENT AGE W1 idle theories of personal freedom and independe melt and resolve hemselves into the vain vaporings of radical enthusiasts, If the state fs E supreme in her sphere, it she is in tolerant of these who would questior her authority, defy her power, rebel winst her mandates, then the church | founded by Jesus Christ to lead men to eternal life must lay claim to no ess authority, no less power w When the sav of the world commissioned her ‘To go forth and teach all nations,' saying, ‘as the fath er sent me, T send you,' He invested | A her with all the powers and preroga- | 1% tives necessary to carry out her ex alted mission, Nay, more to insure | the success of His church, and compel men to listen to her teachings, He told | 5¢ powers and prerogatives of our law- fully chosen officials, when its elder lirother Lynch law is making the ex- | s. istence of our law courts superfluous —we thank God there is in our midst 2 moral power and an authority which in the fourth and fifth century, rolled | 11 back the assaults of the barbarians, |1 and will still continue to preserve our Christian civilization from these poli said a few days ago at an assemhly of the Presbyterian church, ‘Religion is the hope of a sin-laden world. The peculiar meaning of America is faith, faith in an eternal power. This faith, which is but another word for religion represents the only hope of the world." But the only hope of the world is an authoritative faith, an au- thoritative religion, an authoritative church, whose teachings, whose com- mandnwnts a hostile world will listen to, at least with reverence and re- spect. = “Gentlemen: you who are the pre- servers of this great country of ours, you who are the very embodiment of loyalty and patriotism, you upon whose hoary heads rests the aureole of a nation's gratitude, you from your eminence can behold and appreciate the value of authority and what obed- ience and submission to it means, if this land is to live and endure, as the hope and inspiration of a distressed world The cross stands for submis- sion, for obedience! He who hangs there the only begotten Son of the eternal God become obedient even un- to death, the death of the cross! The cross is the symbol of triumph, not orly over sin, but its allies, pride and rebellion ! “Tt is under this sign only that a world wandering in the desert of doubt and despair can ever hope to emerge, can ever hope to bring order out of chaos, to reconcile warning factions, to temper hatreds and big- otry in fine to usher in the reign of universal brotherhood, the reign of peace on earth to men of good will. “The flag, too, with its stripes of red, reminds us of the sacrifice our heroes gladly offered that this coun- try of ours might be a reality, that it might continue to endure, yes, they submitted, they followed the com- mands of authority, the shedding of their blood’even to the laying down of their lives on the altar of patriotism Raised on high with its starry folds waving in the breezes of heaven, it is for us the emblem of authority, of love, and reverence for laws and in- stitutiong of our great republic **As long as the Cross of Christ cov- ers our churches, as long as the stars and stripes flutters above our cities, then we can rest secure, happy in the vision of a loyal, patriotic, reverent, God-fearing people who will render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, 1 a q ti c 0. 11 d and to God, the things that are God's.” ¥ Mistletor has recently appeared on pine trees in Bavaria, having from the south. come Large lot.
