RELIGION NEEDED FOR FUTURE OF U. 5, Rev. T. A Goeene Declares Churches Must Co-operate “Oh! How our churches need to get together in this business! If we do not learn how to ‘hang to- gether’ in this important matter of religious education, thea before long ‘we shall all hang separately.’” So said Rev. Theodore A. Greene, pas- tor of the Center Congregational church, at a meeting of Esther Stanley chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, yesterday afternoon. His subject, Was “Amer- ican Ideals and Religious Educa- ‘tion” and he entered a spirited plea for religlous education in the achools. He stated that if present children and their children ara to give re- ligion its righttul place in education and life, the churches must come closer together and must cooperate more largely and mora extensively than many of them have yet been willing to do. In that manner only can they thus make it possible for the public school_authorities to help them instead of having to ignore them, he said. “The most potent religious influ- ence in the life of any school is to be found in the moral and religious character of the teachcr,” he said. *“We know that the public schools of America are not trreliglous by any means. Why? Because their teachers are almost everywhere men and wemen of strong moral character and of definite religious conviction and experience. Thus, without directly teaching religion, these men and women, by the char- acter of their discipline and by the spirlt which they maintain in the life of the schools have been and are of great influence in determin- ing the character of American boys and girls, “The best Christlans are made not In the church school, but in the cradle and the nursery. Neither pub- lic nor church schools can do the whole work of education. The family, in its home life, has the child first and the impressions which he re- ceives in the earlier days at home scrve as a background and basis for all his subsequent education. Horace Bushnell held that the first three years of a child’s life are more im- portant in their bearing upon his ed- ucation and character than all the years of discipline that may comé aefterward. What finer soil for gener- ating virtues, what better training ground for character, than the American Christlan home could there be? We may well doubt whether this moral function of the family could ever be fulfilled by any other insti- tution. Schools miss all the ties of personal affection, love and loyalty. They must deal with children in large groups, and in relatively cold and impersonal ways. No substitute has yet been trled or imagined, which can take the place of a real home. “Did you ever stop to analyze for yourselves, the essential relation be- tween Christianity and the institu- tion of the family? The Christian re- | ligion stmply universalizes the re- lations of family life. Jesus’ teaching concerning God, as well as concern- ing our duties, are based on these same family relationships. He tells us that God s Our Father; and we are a1l brethren! Yet, how much our un- derstanding of these teachings de- pends upon the quality of our own family life. For example: It is very difficult for & minister to make God, the Father, real to a man who has had the misfortune to experience at home the misfortune of a weak or worthless father. The poor fellow simply cannot think of God that way, unless in his heart, by way of con- trast, he has some long cherished idea of what the perfect and heav- enly Father could be! But a Chris- tian family is one which established in the Christian convictions of the parents, seeks to express those con- victions in its spirit and practice in order that its children may grow up to be children of God! “The only trouble hére is, that the family is under fire in America to- day. I nour larger citles, changing conditions are rendering family life more difficult. I need not go into the many reason here. You know them as home makers perhaps even better than I. But do not forget this—the Christian church is vitally interested in maintaining in America the institution of the family. And the family {s still the most necessary of all the agencles making for re- liglous and moral education. The family began because there were children to b ecared for and taught. It must continue for the same rea- son. It is for the sake of the child that the family exists, and the phys- ical begetting of the child's body is but the beginning of the education of the child's soul! “Religious education is absolutely essentlal to the maintenance of our best American ideals, and will fail to_accomplish this desired end un- less we unite to do something about it,” sald Rev. Mr. Greene. In conclusion, he saild: “T know you will understand me, also, if I charge you last ot all, to remember that your children are not likely to take seriously these important mat- ters of Christian prastice and faith —prayer—Bible study—yes, church attendanc> and reasonable Sabbath observance—unless you show them that you too take them seriously. God help us all to take our Ameri- can ideals and our religious duties to our children in these maiters serfously.

Mills, choir singer in his church. They are Mrs. Louise Gelst Richl and Barbara Tough. The prosecution wanted from them an account of what took place in the Hall home immediately be- fore the double slaying. Yesterday in Trenton, Arthur S Riehl, husband of Loulse, withdrew bis suit for the annulment of their marriage. It was this suit that led to the re-opening of the case after four years. Riehl charged that his wife had been intimate with Hall kcep silent what she “new of the murders. Mrs. Rlehl denfed the charges. No reason was given for the withdrawal of the suit. Stevens Mentioned Henry Stevens was the direct sub- ject of testimony given yesterday by Mrs. Mary Demarest, who lives near New Brunswick and who said she |sa- hini tn New Brunswick the morning after Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were slain. Her testimony was believed to be in anticipation of an an alibi defense for Henry Stevens. Although Saturday ordinarily is a holiday for courts in this county it wag decided to continue with the trial today. Mrs. Demarest was still on the stand when court was adjourned yesterday. She sald she had seen Ralph Gorsline, a vestryman of Dr. Hall's church, and Mrs. Minna Clark spying upon Mrs. Mills and Dr. Hall in Bucclgugh Park. Objectiong by defense attorneys to her testimony brought from Special Prosecutor Simpson the announce- ment that he proposed to prove that Gorsline and Mrs. Clark spied upon the lovers and carried the informa- tion to the minister’'s wife. Clarence E. Case, of defense coun- her concerning the story. she told yesterday of having Stevens, one of the three defend- ing after the slaying of the Chicago pastor, and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, choir singer in his church. Mrs. Demarest's testimony was in- troduced by the state in anticipation of an alibl defense for Stevens. The murders occurred not far from New B-unswick. Mrs. Demarest said she could not recall the description of the auto- mobile in which she saw Stevens in George street, one of New Bruns- wick’'s main business thorough- fares. On trial with Henry Stevens are his sister, Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, and hfs brother, Willle Stev- ens, They are belng trfed on an indictment charging them with murdering Mrs. Mills. ‘When court opened today., Senax tor Simpson, speclal prosecutor, in- dicated that the serious iliness of Mrs. Jane Gibson, the state's chief witness, would not embarrass the presentation of his case before next Wednesday. “I have other witnesses I can put on the stand today, Monday, Tues- day,” he sald, when informed that a specialist called in yesterday had reported that Mrs, Glbson might be ill for weeks. Mrs. Demarest met Senator Case's suave questioning with a bristling glare. At times she almost snapped at him. One emphatic “no" in a loud tone brought Case and Simpson into the first heated clash of the day. Reverting to Mrs. Demarest's ac- count of having seen a man whom sho identified as Henry Stevens, stepping from a new Brunswick trolley car, on the morning after the killings when Stevens insists he was in Lavallette some seventy miles away, Case asked; “Was there any- one with you on the trolley car? “No,” replied Mrs. Demarest with her most emphatic of the day's de- nials. “Why did you say it like that, Mrs. Demarest?"” asked Case. Simpson was up with an objection asserting that whether the witness testifled in sharp ¢ or a a flat was not material in the case. Case argued that such difference misht be the dividing line between fair and unfalr testimony, and the witness when ordered to answer, re- plied; “I am rather a loud talker and quick.” Her reply to Benator Case's next question was given with an ingrati- ating smile and a soft voice.
