For Forward March, Is Word of Dr. G.

C. Famous Preacher and Bible Teacher Opens Ministry at First Presbyterian Church. "Look backward; not to sorrow over the past; not to grieve over the passing of 'the good old but to gather force for the forward This new-qear's Snejesage was embodied in the sermon with which Dr. Campbell world famous preacher and Bible teacher7opened his ministry at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. The was delivered from the Bible, which Dr.

Morgan quotes directly more open than the average prencher of today, though notNn an argumentative spirit or in a manner of singsong repetition. Opening his sermon with the words spoken by Moses to the children of Israel after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, "And thou shalt remember all the way the Lord, thy Jod, led thee" tho stuudent of the Scriptures spoke of the influence of today are the memories of yesterday." the mind may be so nocordlng to Dr. Morgan, "that It may-elect those things which are not orth remembering and may. acquire the power of selection of those things hlch it will store in 'memories' myotic, storehouse. "Tim look is he said, "as It has for its prindlple intention the forward look, as pi-tuues one for the future.

The ex- curaion into memory may teach three lessons: humility, the discovery or self and the discovery of God." In defining humility Dr. Morgan said that ho did not mean the huj mlllty which says, "I'm serving uoet in my 'humble way." "When a man says that to me I know he Is the most conceited humbug alive," he declared. "I mean the ort of humility which expresses itself In service." "This backward look," he continued, "helps me to find myself, to prove mo to myself, to discover me to myself. that I may know myself the shame hocking things, the i'ul things, the wonderful things, the glorious things in myself. The manner in which you realize things about yourself in the pnst year which you didn't know bo- fore is the measure of your, advance inent In the coming year.

Tn closing, Dr. Morgan asked his hearers to remember "back past yesterday, past the clay before yesterday" to "think back far enough to strike the redemptive power and passion of God" to "thlnlf backward over the past years and realize that God has traveled with us." Dr. Morgan is to conduct a Bible conference in the First Church beginning today. Friday night, at 8 o'clock, he will give the first of a series of lectures on the general theme of "The Blbley Some Constructive Reconsiderations." PRODIGAL SON IS EXAMPLE Of What Happens When One Leads Own Life, Pastor Says. Rev.

John Edwin Price, pastor the Unlversalist Church, in his sermon yesterday morning illustrated "God's Fatherly Love for the Way-ward'J with the story of the Prodigal I (Isaiah, 17), was made. at a time of great misery and distress. He com forted despairing people with the hope that the old order would pass away and a nev order would come into That prophet has had many successors. The ecstatic vision of the new Jerusalem in the Book of Revelations In the New Testament Is of a similar nature. The fantasies of Imaginative writers who have pic tured "a renovated and reconstructed society all hnrk back to that original prophetic ideal of a new(heaven and a new earth.

In even apparently hopeless conditions of society the for ward-looking spirit of man cannot be crushed. Looking before and beyond, he visions a bright and brilliant fu ture, a new state of affairs that shall repair the wrongs, the evils, the cor r'uptlons and the inhumanities that have grown up in the course of time. Society eBing Forme "The great truth that shines eter nally in thes.j dreams and visions of a better order is 'that spirit of op timism which marks the true pro phetic temper. This optimistic spirit has been the Inspiring motive of all progress. All the workers for social betterment In mankind's history have been optimistically minded.

All the workers for such betterment today are so minded. Through that spirit. and that spirit alone, can salvation be brought to society. And because today there are so many of these for ward-looking optimistic workers a new society is being formed. I verily believe that the prophetic pronouncement of a now heaven anda.

new earth is In the making; of course, not miraculously and cataclysmlcally, but orderly through the conscious endeavors of, hish-aouled and toilers. "In comparing conditions today with those that prevailed oven 50 years ago, who can doubt that we are living on a new 'earth and that wo have a vision of a new heaven. Tho forgotten man of past days is being remembered. The common man Is coming into his own. Conditions In the in dustrial and labor worlds are incom parably better, though much remains still to be Democracy, the rule of the people, too, is on the march.

Privilege has met telling setbacks from which it will not soon recover. Newer ideals in education are gilding the horizon on which the gaze ot mil lions is fixed. Social service is now term to conjure with. 'I Berve" has become the motto of great numbers enlisted in the ranks of true philan thropy, the love of their fellcw men. Ail this is not spectacular, but it is real.

Of all things, let us i.ot lose cur balance. Let us not be confounded by the loud reverberations that are sounding constantly because oC the jar.zy conditions that prevail rather largely. "There Is now apparent a more widespread determination to bring peace and good will among men and nations than history records at any other period. The signs of this are with us. and any one who runs may read theni.

These signs are particularly three which to mind bespeak the truth that a new earth Is In the offing. League I Mentioned. "First of these signs Is the mighty achievement of a League of Nations. Although not yet comprising all the nations in tho world, this league is now functioning, and functioning well. Our own great nation still stands aloof.

I have always felt, and I still feel, that the United States is untrue to Its tremendous responsibility as the greatest of nations in refusing to ally Itself with this mighty agency for world Were all the nations of the earth, and notably the United States, constituent members of the League of Nations, this would do for world peace what the Monroe Doctrine hAS done for peace in this Western world. The very existence of such a body as the league would make an outlaw of any number nation disregarding the cove nant, and no nation would wish to place itself in such a position as hav ing the condemnation of all the world. Universal public opinion is strong est of all deterring forces. "And the second of these signs that we are living in a new age Is the per sistent agitation for the World Court, tho great tribunal for the arbitration of the differences among the nations. The moral Influence of the decisions bf such a World Court is incalculable.

There has been no issuing, barring the League of Nations, of greater moment before the Senate of the United States. It seems almost Incredible that the recalcitrant Senators will succeed In defeating this high project. Although there was a great popular division of opinion in the matter of the League-I of Nations, there appears to be an overwhelming sentiment for our entrance into the World Court. From the President ot the United States down to the man in the street and the woman in the home" the demand Is strong for the Court Let whatever Influence that can be brought to bear upon the oppposition In the Senate be so brought for the happiness and peace of the world. 'And the third of these signs of the making of a new earth Is the Locarno treaty, the most hopeful sign of peace for distracted Europe that has yet appeared.

A warless Europe would inaugurate a warless world, which would indeed mean the coming of the kingdom of heaven on earth, and by implication a new heaven and a new earth. "The new year, therefore, opens more auspiciously than 'has been the case In a long time. The altars are bumingbrightly in the temple of hope. The road toward the goal Is still long, but our g-aze Is directed, happily, to the glorious' future of a world at peace and a mankind united harmony and brotherhood." LOSD'S POWEE UNLIMITED In Replacing Old With New, Eev. Louis O.

Hoeck Asserts. 'There is no limit to the power of the Lord Id replacing the old with the new We alone place the limit by clinging to the cgd, refusing to learn the Lord, and continually letting up on our So Rev. Louis G. Hoeck said In his new year's sermon the Church of the New Jerusalem yesterday. He said: "The meaning of the word of God and of all true forms of worship is spirit and life.

And when it is wrought into the soul and becomes a part of our being it bears the stamp h. -hiM, i. it i. ever- lasting life. God's life In the soul of man, conjoining God and man.

"In all our dealings with others and the anal sis of our own feelings of on at a departure from the Havenly commandments of righteousness. Jesus wanted to stamp the lie on that popular fallacy which la still prevalent that i pleasure and happinesa, come through following evil. Not only the future effect from wandering in the far country of sin, but almost the Immediate effect is misery, want and distress.

Because Jesus knew this so well he wanted to save sinners the consequences of wrong by 'showing them and leading them "SEEVICE" IS GREAT WOBD When It Pertains To Religion and Culture, Minister Says. "We have tho conviction that the service of spreading religion than can enrich the minds and deepen the cul ture of men and women today is serv ice of the highest order. To our own mind this call to service in our country is a shout 'compared with which other calls are but a whisper," Rev. John Malick, pastor of the First Unitarian Congregational Church, said in nis sermon on "Keeping Service a Great Word'' yesterday morning. we are always interested in a generation's favorite word," said Dr.

Malick. "Among serious speakers and writers 50 years ago one finds a word which hardly ever meets him It is the word The word we meet with now in its' stead is "service," which we do not find very much back with those who used piety. Considerable history is bound up With this change from 'piety" to 'service' as the most used and most expressive word. Piety rather suggests a state which one Sata by dealing with himself. I Service rather suggests a state of dealing with someone else.

"Service suggests an Institution or a day's rltfo or an a1 Christmas celebration vpr clothers, homes, food, some temporary or permanent provision for the well being of a very small part of the papulation. Now If service has done this much, that Itself is a great gain. Service ought to function upon these without regard to their number or whether they are an economic or 'racial credit or debit, for this small number is the charge of the race and the manner In which this charge is recognized and executed is about the gauge of the level of our civilization, ethics and religion. Service Calls Increased. "We have been observing the calls to service which come to our desk, tho exhortations to ourselves, "to our young people and our children to do some real service.

It means in all of these something done for a small and diminishing group of poor, sick or dependent people. We have now a large and Increasing number who are able, willing, anxious to do some service they wull ke to do it where the need is greatest. "Put. all who wish now to serve in this limited meaning of the- word. with their money and their all these to function on the small group to be served and It is like a large power wheel belted to run a small machine.

It is too much power for the work to be done like driving a tack witlj a trip-hammer. This is what is likely to happen, what is happening, more to serve than can express themselves on the group to be served. That is, its Easier to find those to do this kind of service than it is to find those for whom it ought to be done. 1 "We have run into another restriction of the word in the distribution of our community gifts. Service with our gifts Is rightly feeding and housing and healing, keeping up homes for young and old and building hospitals.

We do this service first. We have had another kind of service which we ouiqeives have looked upon as the highest possible form. We have led a department of activity, left over from the war, which looked to tho morale of people as well as to their grosser physical necessities. Wc have had a department which 'led people to act together, knitting the ties that bind through play and song and ceivice now is too smau mat re- quires one to be a widow or orphan or a dependent to share in the fruits of that service. Term Is llrflntd.

"That is. service came to be connected with doing material things, for a small part of the population, when our philosophy of, their needs crass materialism. It was a part 0f a cure tor the world's Ills by materializing it more richly. Now that this remedy has lost its magic, the idea of service that went with it ought-to adjust Itself accordingly. It ought to enlarge Ifself to mean and to include all thogo other lactors, i.

i i ,1 uiciiuii, v1-'1" anu Diimmui which we have found are large among the causes of life's emptiness, failure and weariness. Service ought to include in its meaning whatever we find that keeps life from func turning into the full and abundant life. That is, service has to enlarge its bounds to take In the later and truer findings of sociology and psy chology as to what really are the motives that move people, the forces that make them, and the satisfactions that give life meaning and zest. "There is an emptiness of life, a r.akedness of life, a poverty of life, that are to be reckoned with and those are more widely spread. If service lifts Itself to this need it will have a large and perhaps an increasing number to serve.

The things that strike root so deeply among us, dark theology and organizations, of active intolerance, these are Just syraptons not to empty stomachs, but of empty minds and lives. Those wliose lives are full feel no need of such expres Jor thejr Tho fleI, large, the laborers few, for this kind of service that feeds the minds and spirits of men with better fare."

tojvard them, And good and evil mixed together. How shall we separate jhem and get rid of the old? How snail an tnings do macro newr ine Judgment of evil proceeds progres sively through constant practice -and experience, enlightened by the Word of God. We begin with the simplest and most evident forms of evil in our thoughts of our habits of life. We begin with these and test out the spirit of the Lord in mastering them. In this manner we learn our first les sons in real life.

When we acquire a little that Is new from the Lord in life, then we are Just like the child who has for the first time mastered the letters of the alphabet. He is then prepared to learn to read, and later to learn the content of the literature of the world progressively, as far as he has the ambition to learn. 'We gain our first lesson In life when we have measured our strength with an evil within or without and done something to loosen Its power over us. Then we begin to see more and yet more to do before us. The meaning of the Word of God the Lord's laws of life and their modes of operation opens up to us more and more.

We learn how to dlscrlm-Inste between, good and evil both within and without. Our judgment becomes more and more keen and re liable. We see before us a great and yet greater work. The Inveterate hab- ts of thought that prevent the de scent of the New Jerusalem on the earth come up for Judgment day after day. The work is constant, and gives endless opportunity for separating the old from the new.

"There is no limit to the power of the Lord In replacing the old with the mm-. We alone place the limit by clir.zlng to the old. refusing to learn the Lord and continually letting up our labors. The Lord, our Keeper, nowever, neunr immDcm nr bitib any time. He never suffers us to go back.

Thirty-four guests sat down to wonderful waffles, crisp sausages hcramhled eggs, fruit cocktails and similar delicacies which suggest the first repast of the day, this welcome to the pleasufes to follow being served at one large table in tho crystal dining room.

and Mrs. Peter G. Thomson hope that all the guests bidden to their unlquo affair In honor of Miss Hlldegardo Ault will come early to beautiful "Laurel Court" tomorrow evening. This Is not a fancy dress dance, but the carnival spirit of "Little Christmas" will prevail in the Those who are belated or who tarry in tha dressing rooms as they well might do under ord. stances, because Laurel ery nook and cranny Is so satisfying to the eye and so grateful to tho artistic sense, will rue tho day when they left home late or failed to de scend the stately stairway before the witching hour of midnight, because then they wlU-lose the true flavor of tfcls much-anticipated event.

The hour of the invitation Is 9:30 and the girls and men are expected soon after, so that there may be dancing before as well as after supper. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Silss Waters, who was to hava taken the role of Miss Mattle In the performance of "The Ladles of Cranford," arranged by the Household Arts Department and the Drama Circle of tho Cincinnati Woman's Club for Wednesday, January 6, has fallen a victim to tho prevailing la grippe, tho Chairman, Mrs. C. Stanley Smithy and Mrs.

George Bally have deferred this happy Interpretation of a much loved tale until Miss Mattle's recovery. Mrs. George Dent Crahbs is directing this play and, of course, cannot think of proceeding without her "leading lady." While Mrs. Waters Is much better, her voice Is not yet strong enough to stand the strain ot tnis important character, so the resump tion of rehearsals rests upon her complete convalescence. After a Sunday spent more or less making up their lang-iosi sieep the debutante set will be In fine fettle this evening for Dr.

and Mrs. H. H. Wlggers's dance at the Queen City Club, In hgnor of fhelr daughter, Miss Harriet Wigge.rs. who has enjoyed the balls of the holidays with much zest, despite her recent operation for appendicitis, from which she rallied remarkably well.

Miss Betty, sailed home from Bermuda on New-Year's Day, and so are spending this week-end In New York, whence Miss Betty Llvlnsood will return to her studies at Westover and her parents will make their speedy way westward. The holidays In that wonder- 1 Island proved delightful beyond words, for the Livlngoods have many friends in the cottage colony there, and so their brief fortnight in the eternal spring of that land of flowers was a particularly happy ono. Mrs. Frederick Wallls Hlnkle has taken passage for the States on January 6. sq she Is leaving France tomorrow for home, her sailing having been hastened by Mr.

lllnkle's Illness, of which Mrs. Hlnkle was not notified Immediately her family because Mr. Hlnkle rallied so well In his sick room at Kelcamp, and because neither he nor his household wished to disturb the plans which Mrs. Hlnkle had made to remain over Christmas with her daughters. Miss Susanne and Miss Marjorie, and thus to establish them in Paris before she left for America.

She bad intended to make the Journey late in January, but immediately upon receipt of "llr. and Mrs. Quacken-bush's letter she took accommodations on the first steamer upon which she could get passage. Dr. and Mrs.

Horace Tangeman have with them a chacrming guest. Miss Ethel Robertson, of New York. Although she has been, here since Tuesday only, she has already won a flattering popularity among the dancing set. for she is not only lovely of face, but gracious of manner, both attributes inherited from her illustrious Scotch ancestors. Dr.

and Mrs. Tange-man have spent four summers with the Robertson fsmily st that delightful summfT place, called Bigwln Inn, in the Ontario wood. whre the last few years Cinclnnatians have congregated. Miss Robertson had hoped for three successive winters to spend the holidays in Cincinnati, but each year she- has been whisked away by her family to other climes, once to California, another season to Taris, and llast December to Egypt. Thus her old snd her new friends are Joining orces to make her visit a Ray one with many intimate luncheons and dinners, besides other larger affairs.

Miss Anne Hinckley entertained with theater party and supper on the tilcht ot Miss Robertson's arrival. Thursday night she was one of the belles of the gay New-Year's Eve revel the University Club. On Tuesday night Mrs. Power Clancey la having an evening tf bridge for her. Miss Dorothy Holloway follows with a similar pleasant hour on Wednesday Archaeological Institute, over which Mr.

H. G. French presides snd of which Dr. William T. Semple Is th Invaluable secretary.

It claims with equal pride a branch of the Egypt Exploration Society, of which Miss Eva Keys is the head. In addition there are Egyptian circles and archae ologlcal enthusiasts in several the women's and other clubs of th city, while the University of Clncln nati in Its classical department has touched with Imagination the usua bare facts of the ancient past and clothed them with a vivid fascination for thousands of students and hosts of readers who wish to keep au cour rant in matters of current research and interest. All these will ba highly Intrigued to know that at Emery Auditorium on January 13, none other than Mrs. George Grant MacCurdy, wife of tho Curator of Pcabody Museum at Yale, will give a causerle on "The Art Prehistoric Man," under the auspices of the Department of Lithography of the Ohio Mechanics' Institute. The purpose of this address is to raise funds for The American Schoo of Prehistoric Research In Europe, of which Dr.

MacCurdy, one of the ablest experts in tho world on this subject, Js the director. Dr. and Mrs. MacCurdy have to gether recently published a monu mental work on "Prehistory," in two volumes, that will, and Indeed already has, become an Incomparable contribution to civilization's knowledge of this taatter, since it is really the first complete story of prehistorlo man published in America. In addition, Mrs.

MacCurdy is young --very attractive an Ohloan; a worn an witlr a personality and an un common gift of making a tale which might -be dry as dust live with1 the romance and tho wonder of achieve ment. Sho Is, too, the first woman to have visited all the famous caves where the history of that called pre historic is written in Una and color upon age-old walls. She helps Dr MacCurdy conduct the excavations of the American School of Prehistoric Research in France and Spain, and because of Dr. MacCurdy's position in that undertaking and of hia eminence at Yale they hava distinguished ac-nuaintances abroad. Thus they are hand-ln-glove with the Abbe Erevll, that remarkable man who reproduces the cave drawings, and with Obe-mater, the present-day dictator in Europe In questions of prehistoric man now thaj; Emil Cartailhac, of the University of Toulouso, Is no more.

With Prof. Boule, the greatest of them all on tho other side, and Itutot, of Belgium, Dr. and Mrs. MacCurdy explored the far-famed cave of Mon-tespan, in the Pyrenees, one which can only be reached by ewlmmlng many yurds, and this Mrs. MacCurdy did In fact all that Mrs.

MacCurdy does Inspiring and illuminating, and her coming to Cincinnati is a triumph which several important organizations havo hitherto tried for and failed, in eluding the Ohio Mechanics" Institute itself, which atempted to persuade this Intrepid and charming woman to present the first lecture In Its course idven a fow years ago In the Interest of art and llthdgraphy, ana wnien re sulted in such praise for those dls- ifnc-ulxherl men who were able to make the Journey to the Middle West for that purpose thanks to Mr. C.

This study of a civilization either lost in the dawn of history or burled whore no foot for countless aeons has dared to tread or dig has become a toDlc of sreneral discussion in every drawing room where those who belong to the intelligentsia assemble. Not to nderstand its purpose and to recog- Ize its great advantages to learning and art is to arguo oneself beyond the pale of current Information. Thus the Print and Drawing CircKJ will see In the myriad illustrations which will be flashed upon the scrsen by Mrs. MacCurdy tho earliest of prints and the most astonishing or drawings. The Cincinnati jiacuoweu Society will recognize In these stere-opticons man's first attempt to model.

All these and many other well-known lnflusnces in the community will wel come Mrs. MacCurdy with high acclaim. She will probably stay with Mr.
