HL Bliss IMPERATIVE REQUIREMENTS O FALMIGHTY GOD Rev. Biddle Tells Congregation What He Requ of Them. At the McKinley avenue A. M. E. Zion church on Sunday evening, Aev. E. George Biddle preachcd a strong sermon on the subject, Imperative Re- quirements ,taking his text from Mi- cah 6.8. “What doth Jehovah require of thee, but to justly, and to love kindenss, and to_walk humbly with they God.” In part Rev. Mr, Biddle said: in Him we live and move and have our being. He has a right to make Imper- ative requirements of us. First, He requires of us “to do just- ly.”” Every individual is to deal jusf ly with his fellow man. If we deal un- Justly with our fellow men, no-service we may offer to God will be accept- able. The state is to deal justly with all the people. If it dealt unjustly with s::mo, it thereby wrongs the whole na- tion. ‘The pegople to deal justly by the state. demands loyalty ,patriot- ism, self-denial and sacrifice; the peo- ple must not ounly demand and re- ceive protection; but they muist-stand ready with their lives ‘to protect Second, God requires us to love mer- cy. As God is merciful and kind to us ‘we should be merciful and kind to all with whom we deal. “Kindness” t6 even the brute creation. “Blessed are they that are merciful ,for they shall obtain mercy.” The state should be merciful to the poor and needy the aged and Not poorhouses but homes shoud e provided for those need. The individual and ths state could be merciful to the erring, aiming to reform and restore the criminal. This is what Osborne 1is endeavoring to do in Sing Sing,. God requires that we walk humbly with him. As no one can walk with God until they are acguainted with Him; this should be the first- con- cern of all. “Seek ye first the king- with God. Less than this is a slight The Imperative Requiremert is that every one should be a Christian; walk- ing in communion and fellowship with God. Less than this is a slight to God, and most surely unworthy of a trie man. The state should be God fearing, and enact and execute all laws as in His sight and presence. This will require the recognition of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Then ‘we speak of “humanity,” it will be all- inclusive Humanity! All mankind, male and female, of all tongues and people; 6f all languages, _colors, races and creeds, of all de- grees of development, of all iimes; that is humanity. Every descendant of Adam; of Shem, Ham and Japheh. This coun- try is to be the welcoming home for all humanity. Here all are to he treated jusly, righteously. And by this .this nation is to be exalted above and beyond all others. Such treatment of all peoples will do away with all secret diplomacy, se- cretly and maliciously arraying nation against nation. It was secret diplom- acy that brought on this world-wide war. These are some of the imperative ra« quiremrs#nts of Almighty God. The individual and the statc meet. ing these just and reasonable require- Eeg'.s will be wonderfu’ly blest of od. Christmas Novel at Woman’s Ex- change.

A. W, Burdon Speaks at the Fed- erated Church—St. Mary’s Parish Societ Increase Membership— Personals and Notes. Day. 5.34 7.22 8.06 Many heard Rev. A. W. Burdon, pas- tor of the Federated church, deliver an interesting sermon Sunday even- ing. Rev. Mr. Burdon's subject was The Dreamer’s Ladder, and he took his text from Gen. 28; 12:13. Rev. Mr. Burdon said in part: We call a man who is a dreamer a Mvisionary mortal—or cracked brain. The subject of this tale was neither one of the other. He was a very hard headed, slirewd, far-séeing man, look- ing for ‘the main chance. He comes. into prominence first as one who could drive a sharp bargain; the second time when entering into a conspiracy to deceive his father, and the third time when,.beginning the journey to Pandauaram. It would be interesting to go with him as he begins the journe: over the rough, uneven ground, with a staff for company. Plodding one heavy mtle after an- other through the heat of the noon day, on and on, then as the night shadows gather to cast himself upon the ground, utterly spent. It may have seemed a shrewd trick for Jacob to cover his hand, face and neck with goat’s skin to deceive his old bdlind tather, getting for himself the bless- Ing which belonged to Esau as a birthrizht. Somehow that trick was less attrac- tive out there; with nothing but the starlight for a blanket, gootsore from forty miles of loneliness, - the hard ground for a couch, with a harder stone for a pillow, there t f2i into a heavy sleep, an utterly exhausted man. This story is true to life then and now. There are many way sta- tions on the road in Ii at whici. punishment is to' be found. One climbs to untold heights in one field of labor, the other fulfills his place in another. Years go on with the father reaching middle age, and he remembered the dreab, the children are living in a world of their own, stumbling into the pitfalls digged with their own hands. Lines of care fur- row his face; and he asks ‘“Where bave I failed in my duty and help?” The ladder of that father lacked one essential to be found in Jacob’s dream ladder. There was no God at the “top.” 1f the fathers and mothers in the world could and wculd realize the force of this. If in their dreams for babies’ future included God. If the plans for son and daughter included Christ, the dreams so fondly held would rot so often remain but a dream. A little boy came to his fa- ther one day and laid his hand on his knee, looking up wistfully, ‘Do you want a penny, chila?” * papa, onl; you” What a thonght “only you And you are at your best when you have 2 God, a Christ, a Redeemer. You may be able to give your child money. Aid them to success, put them on their way to fame, but this su- preme need is to find God, and with him at the top of vour ladder of life, you are enabled to give them Him. During a storm some years ago a ship was driven out of her course and, helpless and disabled, was carried in- to a strange bay. Water gave out, the crew suffered asonies of thirst, et dared nod drink of the salt water n wwhich their ship floated: at last driven to extremity they lowered a bucket over the side and drank the water. That which they thought way ;aea. ‘water was fresh, cool and life-giv- ng, That's us. Wae are within reach of the lifegiving fountain. do is to reach out. The fact of one failure will help steer clear of fail- ure in the future, we learn by ex- perience, and God. New Members Received Into Parish Organization.

LaPointe, Mgr., Conn, On the strength of the mbove order, which was written on plain white pa- per, Robinson obtained a level worth $1.35, a square valued at 25 cents, a hammer at 55 cents and calipers, worth $1.12. % The claim of the accused that he was going to start work at the La- point factory next Monday was denied in pelice court Saturday. Mr. La- point also denied having written the order. Robinson's claim that he obtained the order from a superintendent at the factory when he was hired last Thursday afternoon about 2 o'clock was _disproved by Mr. Lapointe, who testified that the factory was closed down Thanksgiving day afternoon. | Judge Coit bound Robinson, over to the next term of the superior court in bonds of $750. Accused was arvested and sentenced to a term in jail about two months ago when he was convicted of stealing a small sum of money from the safe of Philip Houtz in Bank street.

Preceding the class and oceupying the honor of flower bearers were the Misses Elizabeth Portelance and Gertrude Fontaine. Vespers was sung by the rector, Father IFitzmau- | rice. The singing by the society and class of new candidates in a body was 2 special feature of the evening’s ex- ercises, Following the Magnificat of the ves- per service the class were presented at the altar to acknowledge the con- ditions requireq for their entramee in- to the society, the questions for %idch were set forth by the pastor. Miss Sa- die Walsh acted as spokesman for the class and recited the act of conse- cration. Assisting the class mem- bers in receiving their regalia, who were also dressed in white and wore red sashes, were the Misses Mary Bar- ry, Alice Driscoll and Martha Henry end these officers bedecked the statue of the Sacred Heart with fowers. Following the admission of the class as members, Father Fitzmaurice gave a short discourse on the value of mem- bership in such an organization and the spiritual advantages to be obtain- ed by living up to the principles of the society which would prepare them for societies of higher rank and wom- en of whick the church would feel justly proud. Regular attendance at these meetings and the practice of monthly holy communion with the so- siety were two of the points dwelt upon. The society’s membership today numbers eighty young girls of the parish and is under the careful super- vision of Sister Mary Aqueta. The following was the order of Friday ev- erjing’s programme Vespers; hymn, There Is No Heart Lik& Thine; re- ception of candidates; act of consecra- tion, etc.; hymn, My Child, Give Me Thy Heart; devetions for first Friday; benediction. | Immaculate Conception Socisty crease Membership.

NEW STATUES LIGHTED. Beautiful Gifts to $t. Patrick’s Sanct- uary Admired By Parishioners Sun- The two marble angels set last week at the base of the sanctuary arch of St. Patrick’s church were lighted on Sunday. Each bears a curved torch terminating in a brass candelabrum of seven electric globular linghts, to match those recently installed in the church. From an artistic as well as symbol- ical standpoint the statues are beauti- ful. The features of the angels are marked by notable delicacy and charm, the draperies fall in graceful folds, the carving of the wings and the pose of the two figures indicate the work of @ skilled artist. The statues arrived last week from Italy, after a delayed and somewhat uncertain vovage, due to war conditions: They are of the choicest Carrara marble. With the pedestal and electric <candelabrum, each stands about 9 feet. The statues are the gift of the par- Ish Floly Name society and friends and the richly carved pedestals were do- nated by the ladies of the church. The members of the congregation who saw the statues for the first time Sunday were greatly pleased with this beauti- ful adition to the adornment of the sanctuary. At each of the mases the rector, Rev. J. H. Broderick, express- ed appreciation of the. readingss with which his people had secured the costly objects of art, at his suggestion. CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICE. Again Advocated by Rev. Peter J. Cuny —Advent Sermon on Sanctity. Yestergay, the first Sunday in Ad- vent, the preacher at the high mass in St. Patrick’s church was Rev.

This is the sort of Catholic social service, the preacher said, that he de- sired to see inaugurated in the Nor- wich parish.
