SERVING TWO MASTERS Impossible in Either the Spiritual or Everyday Life, Rev. J. H. Broderick Tells Congregation. The gospel read in the masses in the Catholic churches yesterday, the fourteenth Sunday afier Pentecost, was Matt. vi. 24-33. Preaching at the 7.20 mass in St. Patrick’s church, Rev. J. H. Broderick took as his text the opening words of the Scriptural pass- age, Christ's admonition to His disci- ples, “No man can serve two masters.” rying to accomplish this is impos- sible in Whe everya: world, the preacher said, espe if men try to serve masters of opposing cnaracter. Yet while it is manifestly impractica ble, men appear to try to do this in the spiritual world. With the motives of gaining unworthy pleasure, or worldly advantazes, they seem to think it possible to give two or three days in the week to serving Mammon and another portion of the time to the ser- vice of God. Perhaps they attend mass on Sunday, make their Easter duty, come to an occasional extra ser- vice'in the church; but this dlvided allegianco is not sufficient, is not pleasing to God, who demands that man shall not give any part of his ser- vice to His enemy, the evil one. This gospel warns men also not to be too anxious over food and raiment, since after all these things do the heathen scek; our Heavenly Father knows that we have need of all those things, and if we trust Him will pro- vide them. God demands man’s entire service; and the closing sentence of the gospel was emphasized, as sum- ming up the whole matter: “Seek ve therefore first the kingdom of God and His justice, and all these other things shall be added unto you.” Although no particular socleties or organizations of the parish were mak- ing Sunday their communion day, so many, especlally so many men, receiv- ed the Holy Bucharist that Father Broderick required the assistance of Rev. Myles P. Galvin, this great num- ber of weekly communicants indicating the spiritual vitality of the parish’s great number of members who are living up to and practicing the teach- ings of their faith. At 3.30 Sunday_ afternoon, Benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament followed the regular vespers. Back from Philadelphia, Robert McClure, who for the past 14 montks has been employed in Phila- delphia, has returned and has accept- ed a position with the Hopkins & Allen the Johnson, | Centious money-malker: eting held on HARRY SCHULMAN ADDRESSES CENTRAL BAPTIST SERVICE Large Congregational Heard Theologi- cal Student Sunday Evening. What Is a Christian? was the theme of a very interesting sermon given by Harry Schurman, student at the New~ ton Theological seminary, at the ev ing service of the Central Baptist church. Mr. Schulman took his text from Acts 11: 26, “And the disciples were first cailed Christian in_Antioch.” ‘Among some of the things Mr. Schu- man said follow: Friends, can any of us study the life of Jesus and not feel the sense of re- morse and shame as we see our lives in the light of His, And a person is not a Christian until he tries to imi- tate the 1ifo of Jesus in His own life. Bven today some people are uncom- table where there is a Christian around, for as that man and woman live their simple noble Christian life there is shown up to the sinful per- &on all the filth and rottenness of his life. Put a young man whose mind has been full of filthy thoughts in the presence of a group of pure Christian young women .and that fellow will be the most uncomfortable fellow while with them. For he will see his sin as he sees it in the light of those beau- tiful, Godly Iives of those girls. Take a cheat, o saloon keeper, a_gambler, put them in a prayer meeting and make them listen to the testimonies of Godly men and women and those men will suffer agonies of hell. For as they hear of the sweet and good lives of those men and women there will appear to them the gloomy pic- tures of their own lives. Such a meeting would be hell to them and yet the mental agonies and remorse suffered there are but a shadow of the remorse and mental torture which will follow in the life which comes after this. Friends, are we who hear the name of Christians living lives similar to our Lord’s? Are we living lives of humanity, lives where were not proud just because we live In nice homes or have wealth or mental attainments; are we living lives of live which go so far even to rejoice when the other fellow is getting ahead Of us. Are we living lives which make non-Chris- tians feel uncomfortable as they see what they ought to be by our lives?| Even in our day we many times meet people who also are opposed to change especially if it will hurt their interests and cut down their profits. The sa- loon keeper fights every effort for pro- hibition and hates everyone who is in- terested in the movement. Though he knows that what he sells robs human- ity of virtue and true life still he is willing to_let humanity be destroyed in order that he may make gain. The merchant knows that man is entitled to all that a customer pays for, yet in order to increase his profits will so often give short weight. he producer of canned goods knows the health of the people depends upon what he sells them, still in order to make profits he will put in ba® products and treat it with deadly chemicals so that they will look good. And let anyone raise a crusade against any of these viola- tions of the laws of life and state and immediately the miserable wretches who malke profit will be up in arms fighting against any reform. And what are we going to do about it? Are we going to yield to the threats and taunts of these wretches? Did Jesus Christ yield when the Pharisees and Sadducees turned against Him? No, indeed, but their threats gave him new courage to fight for rizhteousness them and he even gave his life in His campaigns against them. Did the small group at Antioch fear the threats and remarks of those H- Hardiy. For | they kept up their activity against vice and crime. They wanted to be co sidered as co-workers with Jesus ard truly deserve the name of Christians or Christ followers. And we, if we must be Christians, must also’ be ac- tive. There is no room today for rocking chair Christians, but we must be up and active against anyone or anything in our community or coun- try which is undermining the noble things of life. So thus the small group at Antioch was ridiculed because they worshipped the crucified and risen Christ, because they lived a life like His and because they were cngaged in Jesus' work. Men in their ddy dospised them but we today glorify thme and as those people were those who kept the church and Christianity alive let us like them “go and do likewise” and also keep Christianity and the church alive. MISS ELIZABETH SEVIN WOUNDED BY REVOLVER. Bullet Passed Through Leg But Did Not Strike the Bone. Miss Elizabeth Sevin, sixteen years old, residing at No. 21 Treadway aven- ue was shot in the calf of the right leg by a revolver shortly after 6 o'clock Friday night. She was reported as resting comfortably on Sunday and the wound is not considered serious. The story of the shooting is to the effect that Miss Sevin was at home alone. She heard someone on the roof over the ice box in the rear of the house. Burglars had made efforts to gain admission to the house at this spot on two previous cccasions. In the rear of the house there is a small shed where are located ash barrels. Be- cause of previous intruders a revolver had been placed in a bureau drawer easily accessible. When Miss Sevin heard the man she secured the revolver, went to a second story window, saw the man on the roof and let fire. The burglar al- though taken by surprise, drew a re- volver and answered Miss Sevin’s shot. The bullet entered the calf of her right leg. The burglar then disap- peared and no trace of him has been yet found. Miss Sevin then went down stairs to the telephone and noti- fled her mother who was at the Sevin store. Dr. John S. Blackmar was also called and dressed the wound. The police have been notified and are in- vestigating. Miss Sevin is the daughter of Mrs. Clarence Sevin and is an Academy student. UNION LYCEUM.
