a a a a a a THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 1926 13 BACKWARD So as To Gather Force For Forward March, Is Word of Dr. G. C. Morgan. 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 message was embodied in the sermon with which Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, world famous preacher and Bible teacher, opened his ministry at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. The mes84ge was delivered from the Bible, which Dr. Morgan quotes directly more open than the average preacher of today, though not in an argumentative spirit or in a manner of singsong repetition.

Opening his sermon with the spoken by Moses to the children Israel after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, "And thou shalt romember all the way the Lord, thy God, led thee'---the stuudent of the Seriptures spoke of the influence. of memory, declaring that acts of today are the memories of yesterday." "And the mind may be so according to Dr. Morgan, "that may eject those things which are not worth remembering and may acquire the power of selection of those things which it will store in 'memories' mystic, storehouse. backward look is valuable," he said, "as it has for its principle intention the forward look, 03 preone for future. The expares cursion into memory may teach three lessons: humility, the discovery of and the discovery of God." In defining humility Dr.

Morgan said that he did not mean the humility which says, "I'm serving God in my humble way." "When a man says that to me know he is the most conceited humbug alive," he declared. "I' mean the sort of humility which expresses itself in service." "This backward look," he continued, "helps me to find myself, to prove me to myself, discover me to to myself, that I may know myself--the shame-. ful things, the shocking things, the wonderful things, the glorious things in myself. The manner in which you realize things about yourself in the which you didn't know bepast year fore is the measure of your advancement in the coming year." In closing, Dr. Morgan asked his hearers to remember "back past yesterday, past the day before "think back far enough to strike the redemptive power and passion of "think backward the past years and realize that over God has traveled with us." Dr.

Morgan is to conduct a Bible in the First Church beconference today. Friday night, at 8 ginning o'clock, he will give the first of a series of lectures on the general theme of "The Bible, Some Construclive Reconsiderations." PRODIGAL SON IS EXAMPLE Of What Happens When One Leads Own Life, Pastor Says. Rev. John Edwin Price, pastor of Universalist Church, in his serthe yesterday morning illustrated mon "God's Fatherly Love for the Wayward" with the story of the Prodigal Son. "For many reasons this has been the world's greatest short called story," he said.

"While it probably counterpart In fact and is had no purely a parable, still some people wondered that the father should have the younger son his share of the give when he might know how it estate would be used. "This is better understood when we realize that it has been an ancient custom with the people of this counfor a father to divide his her estate try with his mature sons while was still living. "Inasmuch as he does not. even remonstrate with the boy over his proline of action, we may also posed infer that this father realized that his son had a right to make his own choices, even to learn through his mistakes if need be. It is a fact own that God our Father has left us all free do that very thing.

"The fact that the son went into 'far country' showed that he was desirous, like many foolish modern youths, to get clear beyond his father's good counsel or knowledge actions. Greatest happiness is not always found in complete freedom from restraint. "The wasting of his 'substance' in riotous living probably refers to his vital energies as well as his financial wealth. "When famine hit the country, as it frequently did in those days, the prodigal found, himself unable to buy the high-priced necessities of life, and, like many other unthrifty pertons, he began to be in want. "Then came humiliation.

He who had wented to be independent of his father had to lower himself to the position of servant. Jesus makes his degradation appear as complete AS possible to the Jewish mind by making him feed swine. "He was so aungry that he would gladly have eaten some of the 'husks' that had beer given to the swine. One authority reminds us that this is not quite as exceptional as it appears upon first thought, as the husks instead of being the ou side covering of corn were probably of the of the Carob tree. It has been called St.

John's bread by some, a8 it is supposed to have been eaten by him in trie wilderness. Only the outside of the pod, which is said to have mealy, sweetish taste, is eaten. It is used as food by the very poorest classes and is also fed to the pigs. "As 'no man gave unto it is probable that the famine conditions Mad forced, rationing and that he would gladly eaten the pig's share beside his own. "So far the story has but pointed out to us what usually happens to young men or young women who depart from the wholesome teaching of their parents and indulge their desires and passions.

"It also brings out in bold relief the sure misery that follows anyone's departure from the Havenly aFther's commandments of righteousness. Jesus wanted to stamp the lie on that popular fallacy which is still prevalent. that through pleasure following and evil. happiness Not only the future effect from wandering in the far country of sin, but almost the immediate effect is misery, want and a distress. Because Jesus knew this so well he wanted to save sinners the consequences of wrong by showing them and leading them into the paths of right." "SERVICE" IS GREAT WORD When It Pertains To Religion and Culture, Minister Says.

"We have the conviction that the service of spreading religion than can enrich the minds and deepen the culture of men and women today is service 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. Malick, pastor of the First Unttarian Congregational Church, said in 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 now. It is the word The word we meet with now in its' stead is which we do not find very much back with those who used piety. Considerable. history is bound up with this change from 'piety' to 'seryice' as the most used and most expressive word. Piety rather suggests a state which one gets by dealing with himself.

Service rather suggests a state of dealing with someone else. "Service suggests an institution or day's ride or an outing or a Christmas celebration or clothers, homes, food, some temporary or permanent provision for the well being of a very small part of the population. Now if service has dome this much, that itself is a great gain. Service ought to function upon these without regard to their number or whether they are an cconomic 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 dura about the gauge of the level of civilization, ethics and religion. Service Calls Increased.

"We have been observing the calls to service which come to our desk. the exhortations to ourselves, to young people and our children to do some real service. It means in all of these something done for a small und diminishing group of poor, sick or de-' pendent people. We have now a large and increasing number who are able, willing, anxious to do some service and they would all like 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 time; put 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 with 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 basier to find those to do this kind of service than it is to find those for whom it ought to be done. "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 ourselves have looked upon as the highest possible form. We have had a department of activity, left over from the war, which looked the morale of people as well as to their grosser physical necessities. We have had a department which led people to act together, knitting the ties that bind through play and song and pageantry. This halts just now for lack of funds and is likely to be discontinued.

We get funds for what we believe is service and if we believe that song, play and pageantry are service, we will get funds for it. Service ought to be lifted to include this which contributes to a city's morale, its moods, manners and spirit as well as to its material necessities. 'Service' now is too small that requires one to be a widow or orphan or a dependent to share in the fruits of that service. Is Defined. "That is, service came to be connected with doing material things, for a small part of the population, when our philosophy of their needs was crass materialism.

It was a part of a cure for 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. ought to enlarge itself to mean and to include all those other factors, mental, phychological and spiritual 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 functioning into the full and abundant life.

That is, service has to enlarge its bounds to take in the later and truer firdings of sociology and psychology as to what really are the motives that move people, the forces that make them, and the satisfactions that give life meaning and zest. is an emptiness of life, nakedness of life, a poverty of life, that are to be reckoned with 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 symptons not to empty stomachs, but of empty minds and lives. Those whose lives are full feel no need of- such expressions for their lives. The field is large, the laborers few, for this kind of service that feeds the minds and spirits of men with better fare." BETTER ORDER NEAR, Rabbi Says, Pointing To Efforts For World Peace.

The achievement of the League of Nations, the persistent agitation for the World Court and the Locarno treaty were named as three signs which bespeak a better future order by Rabbi David Philipson in his address at Rockdale Avenue Temple yesterday morning. Speaking New Heaven and a New Earth," Dr. Philipson said: startling statement by the ancient prophet, in which he assured his hearers that the Lord would create a new heaven and new earth (Isaiah, 17), was made, at a time of great misery and distress. comforted a despairing people with the hope that the old order would pass away and a new order would come into being. That prophet has had many successors.

The ecstatic vision of the new Jerusalem in the Book of Revelations in the New Testament 19 of a similar nature. The fantasies of imaginative writers who have pictured a renovated and reconstructed society all hark back to that original prophetic ideal of a new heaven and a new earth. In even apparently hopeless conditions of society the foro spirit of man cannot be crushed. Looking before and beyond, he visions a bright and brilliant future, a new state of affairs that shall and wrongs, the the inhumanities evils, the cor- that have grown up in the course of time. "New" Society eBing Formed.

"The great truth that shines eternally in these dreams and visions as better order is 'that spirit of optimism which marks the true, prophetic temper. This optimistic spirit the Inspiring motive of all progress. All the workers for social betterment in mankind's history have 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 forward-looking optimistic workers new society is being formed. I verily believe that the prophetic pronouncement of a new heaven and a new earth is in the making; of course, not miraculously and cataclysmically, but orderly through the conscious endeavorg of high-souled and high hearted toilers. "In comparing conditions with those that prevailed even years today, ago, who can doubt that we are living on a new earth and that we have vision of a new heaven. The forgotten man of past days is being remembered. The common man is coming into his own.

Conditions in the industrial and labor worlds are incomparably better, though much remains still to be done. 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 of millions is fixed. Social service, is now a term to conjure with.

'I serve' has become the motto of great numbers enlisted in the ranks of true philanthropy, the love of their fellow men. All this is not spectacular, but it is real. Of all things, let us not lose cur balance. Let us not be confounded by the loud reverberations that are sounding constantly because of. the Jazzy 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 this are with us. and any one who runs may read These signs are particularly which to mind bespeak there. the truth that a new earth 1s in the offing. League Is Mentioned.

"First of these signs is the mighty achlevement of a League of Nations. Although not 8.3 yet comprising all the nations in the 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 responsibilily as the greatest of nations in refusing to ally itself with this mighty agency for world peace. Were all the nations of the earth, and notably the United States, constituent memberg 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 member nation disregarding the covenant, and no nation would wish to place itself in such a position as having the condemnation of all the world. Universal public opinion is the strongent, "And of all the second deterring of these forces. signs that we are living in a new age is the persistent agitation for the World Court, the great tribunal for the arbitration of the differences among nations. The moral influence of decisions the of 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.

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 of Nations, there appears to be a an overwhelming sentiment for our entrance into the World Court. From the President of 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 opposition in the Senate be brought 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 warlesg 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 burning brightly in the temple of hope. The road toward the goal is still long, but our gaze directed, happily, to the glorious' future of 8 world at. peace and a mankind united harmony and brotherhood." LORD'S POWER UNLIMITED In Replacing Old With New, Rev.

Louis G. Hoeck Asserts. "There is no limit to the power of the Lord in replacing the old with the new. We alone place the limit by clinging to the old, refusing to learn of the Lord, and contindally letting up on our So Rev. Louis G.

Hoeck said in his new year's sermon at 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 of that which is eternal. It is ever. lasting life, God's life in the soul of man, conjoining God and man.

"How do we receive this life in the How make it our own? In one way alone. By ceasing to do evil and learning to do well. "In all our dealings with others and in the analysis of our own feelings afternoon. Mrs. Parke Smith is collecting a few friends for dinner on Thursday.

Mrs. Audley Brown, Dr. Tangeman's sister, will give a Sunday-night supper on the 10th, and Mrs. Herbert Shaffer assembles a few for bridge on Wednesday, the 10th. Mrs.

Tangeman, too, has, sent out cards for several informal reunions over the card table, so this visitor has an engagement book bursting with pleasant anticipation. Miss, Ernestine Pattison is much disappointed that her sister, Miss Alethia Pattison, is not yet in this country, her departure from Smyrna having been delayed owing to the exigencies of Near East relief, to which she devotes her time. She hopes, however, tel rive early in spring, although Lue will miss Sties Pattison's delightful luncheon at the Cincinnati Country Club tomorrow, at which a. few friends of the guest of honor, the bride of the Hostess' brother, Mr. J.

W. Pattison, will assemble to welcome her home from the wedding journey, although many of these had this of congratulation the holihappy, opportunity, days which Mr. and Mrs. Pattison enjoyed. It is of moment to the bridge players of Cincinnati that in the spring Mr.

Milton C. Work, perhaps the greatest American authority on auction bridge, is to be brought here by a prominent charity in a benefit for its good work. The success of such an occasion last week in Chicago is therefore of pre-eminent interest here, On Sunday Mr. Work gave a most inspiring lecture on the subject of bids and counter bids at the new Palmer House broadcasting station, and on Monday the ballroom of that hostelry was opened for the first time, a. brilliant company assembling there to play auction under the direction of Mr.

Work, assisted by Mrs. Guy Purdy, who is established at the Vernon Manor again after this experience. Following the games the crowded about both these experts for over an hour, receiving answers to their particular problems. Mrs. Work, who is an Eastern woman and a very charming one, is well known to Cincinnatians, who first dacks years ago.

Where "home throne members of those the smart set here as a8 of Dayton had, and still have, summer places. On Tuesday Mr. Work addressed 500 women at the Chicago Athletic Club, an occasion followed by stag luncheor. 10 handsome Illinois Club in his achor, one the Chicago Woman's Club for Mrs. Work and Mrs.

Purdy. These "lesson tournaments" proved such a triumph that on Tuesday afternoon Mr. Work talked at Marshall Field's, hundreds were turned away. Despite all the luncheons, teas and dinners arranged for Mr. and Mrs.

Work, this and Mrs. tournament, Purdy Mr. in Work connection "carried on" until midnight each day, leaving no stone unturned to help all who asked for advice or information. Cincinnati is to be the only city in this vicinity where Mr. Work has agreed to lend services for philanthropy in this way, and it is due to Mrs.

Purdy that this has been arranged. She has resumed her own delightful circles of bridge here, groups that she was obliged to desert in order to spend Christmas with her family in Omaha and to assist Mr. Work in Chicago. The Cincinnati Chapter D. A.

French presides and of which Dr. William T. Semple is the 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 archaeological enthusiasts in several of the women's and other clubs of the city, while the University of Cincinnati.

in its classical department has touched with imagination the usual 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 courrant in matters of current research and interest. All these will be highly intrigued to know that at Emery Auditorium, on January 13, none other than Mrs. George Grant MacCurdy, wife of Curator of Peabody Museum at Yale, will give a causerie on "The Art of 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 School of Prehistoric Research in Europe, of which Dr. MacCurdy, one of the ablest experts in the world on this subject, is the Dr. and Mrs.

have todirectourdy gether recently published a monumental work on "Prehistory," in two volumes, that will, and indeed already has, become an incomparable contribution to civilization's knowledge of this matter, since it is really the first complete story of prehistoric man published in America. In addition, Mrs. MacCurdy is young -very attractive--an Ohioan; a woman with a personality and an uncommon gift of making a tale which might -be dry 88 dust live with the romance and the wonder of achievement. She is, too, the first woman to have visited all the famous caves where the history of that called prehistoric is written in line 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 his eminence at Yale they have distinguished acquaintances abroad. Thus they are hand-in-glove with the Abbe Brevil, that remarkable man who reproduces the eave drawings, and with Obemater, the present-day dictator in Europe in questions of prehistoric man, now that Emil Cartallhac, of the University of Toulouse, is no more. With Prof. Boule, the greatest of them all on the other side, and Rutot, of Belgium, Dr. and Mrs.

MacCurdy explored the far-famed cave of Montespan, in the Pyrenees, one which can only be reached by swimming many yards, and this Mrs. MacCurdy did. In fact all that Mrs. MacCurdy does is inspiring and illuminating, and her coming to Cincinnati is a. triumph which several important organizations have hitherto tried for and failed, including the Ohio Mechanics' Institute itself, which to persuade this intrepid and charming woman to present the first lecture in its given a few years ago in the interest of art and lithography, and which resulted in such praise for those distinguished men who were able to make the journey to the Middle West for that purpose--thanks Mr.

C. J. Livingood, Joseph Pennell, Albert Sterner and Vernon Howe Bailey, Mrs. MacCurdy gave this same legture last year in the national capital before 1,500 women, Mrs. Coolidge leading the van.

She is repeating It there this winter and comes from here with still more honWashington ors thick upon har. This study of civilization either lost in the dawn of history or buried where no foot for countless hag dared to tread or has become a topic of general discussion in every drawing room where who belong to the intelligentsia assemble. Not to understand its purpose and to recognize its great advantages to learning and art is to argue oneself beyond the pale of current information. Thus the Print and Drawing Circle will in the myriad illustrations which will be flashed upon the screen Mrs. the earliest of by prints and MacCurdy, astonishing of drawings.

The Cincinnati MacDowell Society will recognize in these stereopticons man's first attempt to model, to shape his thoughts in line form, and thus to create what is and known as the fine arts, in the now promotion of which the Cincinnati MacDowell Society came into being. All these and many other well-known influences in the community will welcome Mrs. MacCurdy with high acclaim, She will probably stay with Mrs. Livingood, who are old friends, and her brief visit is already filled with potential dinners and luncheons, which it is hoped she will be able to arrive in time for or stay over to enjoy. The Cincinnati Tale Club, in recognition of Dr.

MacCurdy's distinquished position at the Alma Mater which that institution holds so dear, is also preparing to come in a body to see what sort of art prehistoric man produced anyway, and to be inducted into the mysterious caves, whose wet sands have been 80 immune from any approach until comparatively recently, that there is still to be found upon them that famous imprint of the human foot placed there 15,000 years ago! There is to be -no solicitation of money whatever, but the proceeds from the sale of tickets will to Dr. MacCurdy's School of Research. These admissions may be had at the Mechanics' Institute.
