8 GOD'S LOVE-ALONE CAN BRING PEACE TO EUROPE, SAYS PASTOR Dr. Walter B. Hinson at White Temple Laud's President's Appeal for Peace Prayers From Christians of Country. 3T DR. WALTER B. HINSOT. WE STAND upon the apex of 6000 years of slow, laborious, pain fully evolved civilization. Into our life, as streams flowing into a. lake, there flows the result of man's toil, and sacrifice, and discovery, and achievement. And we are the heirs of all the ages in the foremost files of time. Other men labored; and we are entering- into their labors. For us they thought; for us they wrought; for us they made discoveries; for us they thought out inventions; for us they Bang; for us they legislated; for us they fought; for us they builded. And we have as our inheritance a fair world; its fields golden with the harvest grain; its fruit trees colored, as God's rainbows are colored, . with wonderful fruit. Beauty of country; beauty of city; magnificent homes; mag nificent schools; magnificent churches; temples and palaces on every hand. Science has done for us-a great work; as has art, and culture, and religion. And every now and then, as men looked upon all these splendid advantages of the age in which we live they said, "The millennium has come." They seemed to think already Tennyson's words are being fulfilled. When the war-drum throbs no longer And the battle flags are furled In the parliament of man, The federation of the world. War Disrupts Conference. For about a score of years we have met at The Hague to think about peace, disarmament, brotherhood, fraternity. A few weeks ago the last Peace Con gress gathered there, one of our prince ly Baptist preachers a delegate to it And while the Peace Conference sal deliberating at The Hague, like some eruption of hell war broke out in Servla, Austria, Germany, Belgium, France, England. Japan. And other nations are trembling on the brink of war, a. war such as was never waged before. Terror under the water; terror fall ing from the air; weapons that illus trate man's latest scientific thought, capable of slaughtering beyond the dreams or visions of old time; san sjuinary tyrants; more men arrayed against each other than ever looked Into each other's faces in hate before; cultured peoples, if you please; edu cated peoples; civilized peoples. A racial hate permeating millions of men; and Protestants, Catholics, Greeks and for ought I know, Mohammedans i Stand feeling for each other's throats. War! War! It makes the heart al most hush to think about it. "Extra!" (he cries on the street. And we say, "The allies have moved back," or "The Germans are in retreat." But O, what lies behind those expressions! The newspaper has saved me the terrible task of describing it; the horror of the wounded; the killing suspense of those In the homes; the metal tag all that Is left of a German son, a. French brother, an English 'father: God's beautiful yellow harvest fields streaked with blood; and the grapes that contain his air and Tain and sunshine, bleed ing in common sympathy with the men who trampled tbem under foot. This Is the dark background of Mr. Wilson's proclamation that on this Sunday we meet and pray for peace among the nations of Europe. Strife Chill. FraTrr. And I want to call your attention to the sanity of the President's proclama tion. I know not how you felt when this war broke out. But as I read the first tidings of It, a cold chill seemed to wrap my very spirit about, and 1 said, "What is the good of anything?" I say the Lord's prayer every morning of my life. I said it the morning the news reached me of the outbreak of this awful strife. I said it more slowly than I had ever said it before. I said it with more of unbelieving fear in my heart than had ever been there when 1 said it before. I said, "Our Father," and then I stopped.

And I seemed to hear the varied noises of strife, and in them I caught no echo of reverence for the name of God. I said, "Thy Kingdom come"; and my troubled heart said. "It is not coming, and it never can come through this.'" I said, "Thy will be done." But is that His will, that the earth should shake under the tread of millions of men, whose sole business in life for the time being is to kill? I said, "Give us this day our daily bread." And I thought how wheat fields are being trampled down by horses' hoofs and the wheels of the guns. I said, "Lead us not into temptation." And I thought of the na tions. I said, "Deliver us from eviL" And I said it haltingly. And I seemed to hear the mocking laugh of the devil at my ear. And I repeat, the upper most emotion of my soul was the utter futility of everything. And when 1 read in Mr. Wilson's proclamation, "We are at the end of all human effort," my heart responded to the sentence. That is where we are. At the end of all human effort! He says in that procla mation, "There are things we cannot change nor alter." True, emphatically true. And he says, "We see no way out, though we have scanned the hori zon round." He adds, "Vain were the counsels of statesmen." " President Turns to God. And then he bids us turn to the duty of asking counsel of the Almighty God. Now that Is very sane, that ac ceptance of the condition as it Is; that steady gazing upon facts as they exist. But is it sane to turn to God? Well, some great thinkers of our land have said it is. Few of those days pass without my thinking of Lowell's verse: "Careless seems the great Avenger, history's pages but record One death grapple in the darkness twixt old systems and the Word. Right forever on the scaffold; wrong . forever on the throne; Tet that scaffold sways the future, ani within the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow, keep ing watch upon His own." Do you recall the little speech that made President Garfield famed? Lincoln was slain And a mob surged in front of a Washington hotel, turbulent and enraged. And Mr. Garfield stepped out on the veranda; and Intimated that he wished to speak; and everybody stood still. And he said, "Fellow-citizens, God reigns, and the Government at Washington lives." And the mob dis persed, and the tumult subsided. In the wild slavery time, Frederick Doug lass went up and down the land like a firebrand, ever cheering men by his words of lofty faitrf. But one night the heart of Frederick Douglass quailed. and in a big hall he said, "What is the use? We try in vain. We hope, and our hopes come to naught." And away in the rear of the building, an old ne gress, "Sojourner Truth," she was called, stood up, and pointing her long bony finger at the orator's face, she said, "Frederick Douglass, is God dead?" And there was order, and hope, and confidence! I was the first man of my name who joined a christian church. There is no drop of blood in that arm, but it is skeptical blood. I have wrestled with doubt in the dawn, noon, twilight, and midnight. And as a re sult I do not merely think there is a God, I know it! It is no opinion with me, but it is a conviction, and a certt tude. There must be God, else the world which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams hath really neither hope, nor certitude, nor peace, nor light, nor love,, but left on a darkening plain indeed. Napoleon Realised God There must be a God to whom we can make our appeal. Every magazine han told you how Napoleon said, "God is always on the side of the heaviest guns." But I wish those magazines would also tell you that under the skies of Egypt, when French philoso phers said, "We have formulated a the ory that does away with God," Napo leon lifted his hand skyward towards those stars that burn and blaze in the blue, and said, "Gentlemen, who made! all that?" And when Napoleon's fel low-countrymen, Victor Hugo, would write the story of the battle of Water loo where Napoleon was overthrown, he said, "It was not the British; it was not the Germans; it was God who put down Napoleon." And if you have read Greene s history of the English people, you may recall how he says of the de struction of the Spanish Armada, "It was reserved for a mightier band than the hand of Drake to destroy it." And Queen Elizabeth, on a medal struck to commemorate the defeat. Inscribed "Thou didst blow with thy wind, the depth covered them." Xhere Is anity In Mr. Wilson's proclamation that in epite of all the strife and the seething cauldron of hate. In spite of it all, we approach God and pray that he who is the Al mighty may interfere and restore peace to the nations of the Old World. And I am proud to call your attention to the saintliness of this proclamation. Executive's Act Lauded. Whether you be Republican or Demo crat, you ought to be thankful for the fact that a 'saintly man occupies this wnite ilouse. Good men have usually been there. And a good mt t is there tonight, a much afflicted man. for whom we should invoke God's sympa thetic, protecting blessing. And he says, "Let all God-fearing persons gather in their places of worship to pray." Now, there are two ways in which a man may fear God. He may fear God as a timid child fears the thunder; or as an abused dog fears Its naster; or as a slave might fear a brutal overseer. He may fear God like that; or he mav fear God with a filial fea- the fear of a child who loves the father and is frightened Jest In any way the love of the father be outraged by the speech or conduct of the child. My friends, a little more of the fear of Cod because he is great would not hurt this Nation any. The "Recessional" was written by an Englishman, but the United States of America has as much reason to say as ever - d England, Lord God of hosts, be with us yet. Lest we foreet; lest we forget. For there is a God who fills the cup of vengeance full. And I am en deavoring, in the fear of God tonight, to do my little best towards bringing some of us into an apprehension of that fact-- God is great, and greatly to be feared. But God is good; an addi tional .reason for being God-fearing. I so often think about my early home when I think along these lines. I feared my father, and I feared my mother; but there was the width of a world between the two fears. I feared my father for his corrective tendencies, and I feared my moth' r because she wept when I did the wror g thing. And the combination of these two would in no wise hurt the ordinary American citizen, when he thinks of God. For let us never forget that he is the Om nipotent Jehovah. But, thank God, he is also our Heavenly Father. Neutrality Is Necessary. And the religious 'an who holds the helm of the American ship of state to day says al God-fearing persons should have sympatuy for Jie nations of the Old World who are tortured by strife. I have been noticing the sane, calm way in which in this country we have discussed that European war. And we ought to so do, for we are Servian, Aus trian, Russia::. Germa-, Belgian, French, English. And therefore we do well to be exceedingly careful lest by any Impetuous speech we hurt the feel ing of any man "ho came from either of these countries were war rages. You sang a little whue ago "My Country, 'Tis of Thee. And these men have not forgotten the fatherland, the old land, the old home. Therefore, let us with carefulness and a strong sym nathv exnress even our ouinion flbnut I his strife. Not f r one moment am I nipeaching the sincerity of these men I when they took oath of naturalization ani sain. nenceiorm we are Amen cans." But he who was the best French man, German, Englishman, makes the nest American. And sympathetically let us, even in speech, regard those whose birthplace Is otner than our o.vn. But let our sympatuy be expressed in a practical way. .verybody who possi bly can should have part in the Red Cross ministry, of binding up the wounded and assuaging pain and allay ing sorrow. And 1 am pleased to call your attention to a suggestion that-the young people of this country send Christmas gifts for children across the ocean, whose Christmas will be dreary indeed. And let not only children attend to that, but let everybody who next Christmas Eve expects to carry a bun dle along Portland's streets for the little ones who will waken a little too early the -next morning, let every one send something to some child whose dead father will help to make just a little bit greener a ridge In France or in Belgium or In Germany next Spring. And this proclamation says, "Let us confess our sins." Now every cannon booming In France says "sin." Every hissing shell says "sin. Every flash ing gun says "sin." Every wav ing saber says "sin." Every shriek of hatred or pain says "sin." It is sin caused the war. It is sin made every single tear fall, dug every - grave, blighted every hope, blasted every prospect. Let us forsake sin. He says we should confess our Bins of wilful ness or of error. Rootage does sin find In both, in the stubborn .wilfulness of a wicked will, and also in our ig SAFETY OF PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY LEADER ABROAD ASSURES CONCERTS Josef Stransky Cables That He Will Be in New York in Time to Resume Rehearsals Early Orchestra Loses Two Members by War New York Symphony to Open Season October 23. BT KMIL1E FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Oct. 3. (Special.) After long suspense concerning the whereabouts of Josef Stran sky, the Philharmonic Society an nounces that a cable has been received from the conductor saying that he will be in New York soon to resume re hearsals at once. The organization not only plans not to reduce the number of Its concerts, but it will add a new series for Saturday evenings in Car negie Hall. The regular season in cludes 12 Thursday evening concerts, 16 Friday afternoon concerts, 12 Sun day afternoon concerts all In Car negie Hall, two young people's con certs In Aeolian Hall and five Sun day afternoon concerts in Brooklyn. The orchestra has lost two men of the first rank. These are Henri Le Roy, the first clarinet, and Parma, the bass clarinet, both of whom have gone to Join the French army. Among the soloists engaged some will be unable to be present. The engagements In clude Pasquall Amato, Lucrezla Borl. Alma Gluck, Lucille Weingartner-Marcel, Julia Culp, Fritz Kretsler, Zim ballst, Arrigo Serato, Jacques Thibaud, Leo Schulz. "cello; Eleanor Spencer, Ger maine Schnitzer, BUBSonl, Gabrilo wltsch, Carl Friedberg and David Saplr stein. Kitty Cheatham has been en gaged for both concerts at Aeolian HalL Symphony Season Neaiins;. The New Tork Symphony Orchestra will open Its season Friday afternoon, October 23. at Aeolian Hall under di rection of Waltec Damrosch. Mr. Damrosch Is rejoicing over the fact that he ararnged all his progrrammes ealy in Jude after having returned from Europe with such novelties as he wished to obtain. The entire quota of 85 musicians will be in the orchestra norance, for which we are culpable because we have shut our eyes to the light. So let us repent. And he adds, "Let us pray that we may see the vision, and be led in the paths of obe dience, and be so blessed by God aa to be made wise, and have our hearts purged of wickedness." A message I wish every American would heed, issued by a sound, sane, common-sense and Christian-sense that does the Nation credit. For it is so intensely Christian. For Jesus Christ, In whose name I speak tonight. Is called "the Prince of Peace." No war did he ever occasion. But all strife he came to destroy. And significant is it that at his advent the angels sang "Peace on earth, good will toward men." And he spread out his beautiful hands one day and said. "Peace I give unto you; my peace." Pesee la Europe. Prayer. O that he may lift those same hands over the European battleground to night and put the thought of peace in the minds and hearts of the men who are responsible for the continuance of strife. For he comes to impart peace to men, Godward. without which mark you there never will be peace man ward. For till we all say, "Our fath er." he shall never In sincerity say, "We are brothers." But it was through war he brought the peace. Let me tell you a true story. On the coast of England a poor woman one day called at a rich house and of fered fish for sale. And when she plain tively named the price the mistress of the house said, "My, they're cheap!" this season and Mr. Damrosch' con-1 slders himself lucky that none of the members of the orchestra is available for military duty. Alexander Saslavsky will be concert master again, George Barrere will remain as first flute, Jacques Renard as that 'cellist and Gustav Langenus will be first clarinet again. The first rehearsal is called for October 5 in preparation for the two weeks' engagement which this organ ization will have at the Pittsburg Ex position. Scottl, it is announced, sailed on the Mauretania Saturday with all his cos tumes and personal effects. He was due a little earlier, but he waited to be able to bring his luggage. He will sing a number of concerts in addition to his appearances in opera. Paderewaltl in Switzerland. Paderewskl and Mme. 6embrich are in their home in Morges. Switzerland, where they have received great num bers of refugees, for whom they are caring. Both of these artists expect to come to America later if they are not prevented through lack of finances or by being bottled up In the event of war in Italy. In regard to the situation in Italy, Agide Jacchia. who arrived just in time for the opening of the Century Opera Company, said that no one under 3S years was able to get a release from the military service of that country. On the othere hand, it is understood definitely that Mr. Gatti-Casazza has laid plans to charter a ship to bring over the entire Metropolitan Opera Company, and that this will sail from Genoa, the impresario having asked all the company to assemble in that city as early as possible. Mrs. William J. Guard, wife of the press representative of the Metropoli tan, and Mrs. F. C. Coppicus, wife of the secretary and assistant of Mr. And the poor woman burst Into tears and said, "Cheap to .you, madam, but dear to me. My boy lost his life last night helping to catch these fish." Tea, they were dear fish to the mother. I come to you with peace, Godward, from the nail-pierced hands of my Savior; and you get It cheaply enough: but it cost him his life. With a great price obtained I this freedom! So let 'the sermon preached by the chief executive of this Nation lead you to think about God. who revealed himself through Jesus Christ, and who will allay the wild passion and selfishness and evil of the human heart and bring us Into such loving relationships' with God that we shall be able to say, "My father, my friend, my Savior, my comfort, my ever lasting reward." "Lest we forget." I did not intend to say the word with which I now close my sermon, but God has given it to me to say. How we have forgotten. Do you remember the time I do do you remember the time when you knelt and said, by the side of one who long since went Into the glory and better friend than her you will never have In this world you said, . Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Ior2 my soul to keep; And 1C I die betore i vaxe, I pray the Lord my soul to take; And this 1 ask for Jesus sake. God bless father; God bless mother, and make me good." We have wandered far away from that far away. I wandered so far away that I many times said. Now I lay me down to sleep, ' With little thought, or care Gatti-Casazza, have arrived in New York. They corroborate the news that every effort is being made to bring the company as complete as possible. Pour Slnarers Reported Killed. it was reported by a former member of the Century Opera staff that Ar mond Crabbe Gustav Huberdeau, and Marcel Charlier, all of the Chicago Opera Company, were among those killed in France and Belgium. Otto Kahn received news that Leon Rothier, well-known French basso of the Met ropolitan Opera Company, was killed in the French army. Fritz Krelsler, who last week was reported killed, has since been located among the wounded. The eminent vio linist has been taken to Vienna, where he will remain for the present. Dr. William C. Carl, who returned on the Lusitanla this week, had seen a great many of the musicians well known in this country. He said that Krelsler was one of the 'first to re spond to the call. Chaliapine, the great Russian basso, all the members of his company: Rachmaninoff, the Russian composer; Dohnanyi, the Hungarian pianist and composer: the sons and son-in-law of Alexandre Guilmant and many others, according to Mr. Carl, responded early to the call. Henri Marteau, the well-known violinist, a Frenchman by birth, who was called to the Royal Conservatory of Berlin to succeed Joachim, refused to fight against either country and willingly made himself a prisoner. Mr. Carl said that he does not believe a single artist is left in Germany, France, Bel gium or Russia unless he is beyond the age limit or disqualified on account of ill-health. Whole Company Volunteers. Mr. Carl was present at Beyreuth when the curtain fell on the first act of "Parsifal" and all the eligible art Whether my waking; find me here or there. Lest we forget! Come back to your mother's God. Come back to your fath er's Bible. Come back to the old asso ciations of the family altar, when the old man pushed his chair back from the table and adjusted his glasses and took the book and solemnly read from God Almighty's truth; and then you went shambling down on your knees noisily, out tne noise was soon hushed, and you prayed with vour old father. Come back, boy. Come back to it. Let him sneer who is fool enough to sneer. Do you come back to vour mother's God and to the Lord Jesus Christ, who says. Though your ain be as scarlet. It ahaU be as white as snow; Though It be red like crimson. It shall be aa wool. Do you remember the story I told you of standing on the street of Lon don preaching about this Christ; and a man stopped and sneeringly said. "To- have got a pretty Cod. haven't you, when everyone else kichs a man out he will take him in." Tes, we have a great God. a wonderful God, a God absolutely heart-breaking in his love for us; and when everybody else has forsaken you he will take you In. For there is not a poor man went out of a saloon on a barkeeper's boot last night out Jesus Christ will save that man, and love him into a new life, and make of him a new creature. This is the Christ to whom I swore my allegiance 30 years ago, and by his help I will die with that allegiance unbroken. Amen. ists, stage hands, men in the audience, chorus, orchestra and Siegfried Wag ner, himself, went from the theater to offer themselves in service.
