UNCLE SAM WEAKER No Substitute Will Answer for the True Religion of Jesus Christ THAN DISHWATER Henry D. Estabrook Says Nation is Powerless to Repel Any At- tempt at Invasion. WANTS BIGGER NAVY AND ARMY SEATTLE, Wash, Sept, &—Henry D. | Bstabrook, a New York attorney, de- elared In an address before the American Bankers association here today that it would be better for the United States to scrap every gun and warship it now | owned than to attempt to resist invasion | by a nation prepared for war. | ‘No nation threatens us in so many | words," sald Mr. Estabrook, “but who Is obvious to hints and intimidations that speak louder than words. We boast our strength to repel attack when we know | we are weaker than dishwater. While | every other nation has been preparing for aggression we have not even pre- pared for self defense Surrender Would Be Chenper. 1 would heartily advocate Mr. Bryan-s Quaker policy of non-resistance rather than & policy of balf-preparedness. 1| had rather mee every gun and warship | we own sorapped if we were not to add to them. For ¥ we were without | strength to repel Invasion we could claim | at least the privilege of the weak and sur- | render without loss of lifo. Whereas, to | fight inadequately armed and certaln of losing would be nothing short of mur. der for which every taxpayer in the | United States would be measurely re- mponsible. | “To say that we are too big or too | proud to fight In self-defense is absurd. | To say that a mob of a million or so un- trained citizenry would leap to arms and put to flight the bullet-tested woldlery of Asia or Kurope Is perverse stupidity.” Mr. Eastabrook strongly advocated placing the militia directly under con- | trol of the regular army, and at the same time providing adequate military training in all schools. Quotes George Washingt The speaker sald Washington's con- tention that a free people should be armed and disciplined according to some well adjusted plan was more true today than ever before. Mr. Kstabrook held that the essentinl factor in defence for the United states was a big navy. He #aid it should at least be as large as any other nation in the world; should include all the latest and best naval develop- ments and munitions for the year's cam- paign always in reserve. Mr. Estabrook sald a standing army of 160,000, which would be a ‘skeleton that could quickly take on fleah from the militla,” should be sufficient in conjunc- tion with a big navy. He declared a large standing army was frequently a menace to a nation, but that this was not case with & iarge navy. e urged that the seaman’s act shoud ba repealed; that officials and politiclans should brave disapproval from ocertain sections of the country and do every- thing possible toward the establishmen: of an adequate merchant marine, which would be & naval auxiliary, RODEHEAVER 1S | * HERE 0 LEAD THE TABERNACLE CHOIR (Continued from Page Ome.) kmow that lots of you pastors have a bunch ke that to deal with,” he erfed, turning toward the ministers and laugh~ ing. And the ministers laughed, too, An augophone had been crected over the pulpit.

The Pharisces religion was a religlon of forms and observations, of forms and rituals, They made a great hubbub. Christianity does ndt consist of forms and rituals, do not forget that for a minute. There are a lot of people who never had religion of the heart; they never had a religion experfence. You did not have a religion experfence If your re- Sunday's At the liglon is reduced to a lot of forms and | rituals. 1 am going to show you today the two purposes of God in his parable: “First—To show some people who think they are religious that they are not Second—To show why the prayers of some people are answered and some are | not. Some people are omniotent when they go on thelr knees. The prayers of some are never anaweres, they never know what it Is to have a prayer an- swered, from God. “A parable is & photograph, a pleture. It 1a & picture of two belngs that con- trast. 1 hold up my thumb, and yau say yes, 1 pee it in size and location. I hold up my finger and you say, yes, I see it in size and location. I hold up my thumb and finger and you take It in. It Is two belngs, opposite In character and form, directly opposite in every way. You Get What You Look For. “So these two men came to the temple to pray—both recelved what they came | for, You always get what you are looking for-anything you want You are not disppointed. You always get what you are looking for. If you are looking for a scrap, you get busy and you will get what you came for this afternoon. Did you come with your pride puffed up like s polsoned pup, or did you come to hear somothing that will make you better men and thought 1 might say something you dldn’t lke, and then you would go out and talk about It? They, by the help of God, sister, you will get what you are looking for, it I have to go out of my way to mive It to you. You always wet what you are looking for in this world. “S0 these two men came to pray-the first was the Phariseo. He was nice nad smooth, and his attitude was nice and smooth, and he seemed to say: ‘It you want to know how to do It, ask me, for Tll show you.' There are lots of Chris- tians like that today, and If you want to | %oe one, look in the glass and you fill find one of them when you go home. Pretty Nice and Smooth. B0 you will notice his attitude while he was praying was pretty nlce and #mooth, ‘that reminds me of a minister ‘Whom I met in Chicage, and he dldn't say this to criticise; he was a good man, but he sald to-me, ‘Wiillam, I have listened to you preach and pray, and I am Inter- ested In you, and I would like to make ® fow suggestions to you that I think will increase your effectiveness.' “I sald, ‘“Thank you, dootor. I am will- Ing to stand on my head in a muqd puddie It you can give me something that will Increase my power to save sinners and get them to follow Jesus Christ, , ‘When you pray make an acrostic on the words Acts, I always do that' He sald, ‘The letter ‘A’ stands for Adoration, and when I pray I adore Ged. ‘C I think, stands for Theology.' ®ad 1 sald, ‘Doctor, we'll part company right there. 1 know no more about theol- {ogy than a jackribbit does about ping- pong or an elephant about crocheting.’ " ‘He sald whenever I pray to make an acrostic on the word Acts.' I sald, ‘The Lesd bless you, doctor; you are all right 1t § ou can follow a form like that, but it 1 should I would not get any higher % an the gas jet. You fight the devil your way, and I'll fight him my way, but don't growl at me because I don't fight your way, because if I did T would not be any better than you are' and if I preached as your preacher preaches, I would not be any better than your preacher is."

Although the fight for the presidency of the convertion never got on the floor of the convention, a contest was in prog- ress from the time the delegates got to Omaha Sunday untll the nominating committee finally agreed upon a set of men and reported them upon the floor. Then all was harmony. A dead calm fell. Not & nomination for an important office was made on the floor. The report of the committee was abided by as though the storm had never struck. Ed. J. Cantwell, present secretary, lot it be understood that he was against Gainor for re-election. He let it be un- derstood, also, that he had no ambition for the office, but that if it were neces- sary to beat Galnor, he might enter the race. In other words, he had no par- ticular man for the presidency that he bad pledged himself to. Al Tharp of New York wanted the of- fice, and the New York delegation wanted him o have it. But there were not enough other delegations that were of the same opinion, so he could not be reported out of the nomination committee. C. P. Hanlon of Boston was talked of for president, but it was soon clear there would not be support enough to make it worth while to push his candidacy. Galner Stays In. | Charles Duffy of Chicago was in the race, so far as caucus work went, and he and his friends were hoping that when a £ood fight should be precipitated on the floor he could be galloped in as & dark horse to carry off the prize. John T. Mugavin of Cincinnati was also enthusiastically talked of for the presi- dency, especially when for a time it looked as though Gainor must step down to pacity Cantwell. Galnor stubbornly refused to get out of the way because Cantwell wanted him to, but finally said the only man he would get out of the, way for would be for Mugavin. | For a time it looked as if this would be Gainor, despite Cantwell's threats of mot serving as secretary, —_— Cotton Gluning Report.
