CHANCES SLIM FOR
Press Would Put Him Out ol
Business, Says Minister
The only strange thins about the
statement that the world Is living In
strenuous times, according to Itev,
Wllllnm Itoss of the First Baptist
church, who spoke yesterday to 334
men at the Everyman's Bible class
meeting Is the fact that the world
always has seen strenuous times.
Mr. Itoss took as Ills subject
"Prom Comfort to Strife." Tortious
o his address were as follows:
"Some people arc always remind
ing us that we are living in strenu
ous tlims. The only thing remark
able about the Information la its
antiquity.
"It Is as old as the story of hu
man life. As long as human life
lasts some one will be discovering
that t ho times are (strenuous.
"Every man who is not living In
Fool's i'aradlso knows that there arc
plenty of hard knocks bumping
around, that there are men who
have no thought or feeling for their
fellows. Selfishness' lias so swal
lowed tip every trace of human
kindness that the welfare of others
has become extinct In their creed
and consequently foreign In their
souls. But there Is nothing novel In
this type.
"eV are facing conditions which
have always flourished. As far
back as history throws her light over
the conduct of men we can find no
period when the world had to ad
vertise for oppressors.
"Whatever wrongs worry this gen
eration have worried every genera
tion that has gone before and will
worry until the Christ spirit gets
into government, into business and
Into our social order.
"But this Is only one side of the
story or lite, a siae wmcn we cannoi
i forget but a side of which we need
not always be reminding a man
The man who does not see anything
else ls.bltnd and, cannot see afar off.
"As we read history it is the side
which always loses which Is the side
which all the forces of our man
hood and the unfailing forces of
ritrhteniHsness flrn nut tn destroy.
"It is the most cowardly spirit
that ever tried to rule over men,
Look where we may, this tyranny is
damned from its birth. Whether we
read the story of despotic rulers or
the miserable intrigues of Ignorant
bandits this spirit is the most craven
coward in open battle.
"It is up to the manhood of the
times to end that which we deplore.
"Wrong only flourishes where
right is silent.
"If it had not been for men like
Moses and Lincoln, Israel might still
bo making bricks in Egypt or build
ing pyramid in the desert and our
own negro would-be sweltering in
slavery in the Southland.
"If it had not been for men like
Washington and Cromwell the fore
most nations of the world today
would be like serfs and pygmies
under the heels of mad monarchs.
"Any man can be a hiding place
from the wind. The shadow of a
great rock in a weary land. And
thank God ever since the Almighty
breathed into man the breath of life
there have been men who believed
this, men who could not be fright
ened into silence, who could not be
coerced or bought, men who were
willing to make any sacrifices to
fight the battles of the oppressed.
"This is the side of life's 'story
which I want you men to remember.
To be fed up on tho difficulties of
our strenuous times, will give the
v.nct n chronic Indici-stion. I
don't know the man who is tied up
with chronic indigestion who is
looking for anything, unless it be
the end of the world. Better look
cut for the end of wrong. The man
who is looking for that will do
something to enthrone the right.
"Moses was a man who made up
his mind to do something and then
did it. He was as independent of
praise as he was of scorn. He did
not give, up his task because those
be suffered for seemed to be un
grateful. When those he was try
ing to help criticised all he did, he
went on trying his best to help all
the more.
"It's hard sometimes to make
melody in the hearts of others or to
be melodious in your own lite, wnen
those you serve thump your heart as
a sage thumps a tom-tom. But
Moses did it. and the splendid
eulogy you heard- this morning
about him lie never heard.
"Lincoln miirht have been happ'er
when he was with us -t nly a few
of the tmnes we now t-iy about him
had been said in his hearing. The i
Great Master might have found His :
cross easier to bear if men had been j
a little kinder.
"The man whose purpose to serve
depends upon recognition, will find
It a lonesome iob. But the man who
serves faithfully, repardless of praise
or scorn will find that his labor was
not In vain.
"If ever a jcb ltk Moses bad
should be found knocking around,
now the newspapers would put sny
Pharaoh out of business. If the pay
pers didn't the preat universal
church would and to-tay they usually
work together.
"When Belgium under that Pharaoh-Leopold
turned her African pos
sessions into a shambles, church and
press thundered acainst the infa
mous Iniquity until it broke the
bondage of the negro and the selfish
heart of the Belgian king.
"Let me remove the false Impres
sion that there Is no excitement In
fighting for the right The man who
will fight against iniquity seldom
knows what he Is up against.
"Fight sin and you challenge a
wide circle. That circle will keep
you from knowing about monotony
and unless you fight with all your
might, you'll discover there Is noth

Can't Preach And live, Say
Ministers Who Quit Pulpits
(Special te Tht H.r.ld.V , .
rialnvllle, Feb. !., V Plalnvllle
doesn't appear to be a very fruit
ful place for ministers of the gos
pel, judging from the fact that pas
tors of two churches here have left
the ministry within the past year to
enter into lines of labor which are
llter paying propositions than
preaching the word of God,
Tho first to leave the pulpit be
cause of the smull financial remun
eration from his church was Rev.
F, P. Washington, pastor of the
rialnvllle A. M. E. Zlon church. At
the time of his resignation, Mr.
Washington very candidly staled
lhat the reason he was leaving the
church was because of the small
financial return he was receiving.
Ho stated that he was going to
take up steady work ns a painter,
paper hanger and interior decora
tor because he would be able to
mako a decent living for himself
and family at that work, whereas
the salary given him. at the church
was Insufficient.
Now comes the story that T!ev.
J. C. Libby, who became famous
while in Vermont as tho "taxi min
ister" because of the fact that dur
ing the week days he drove a taxi
and on Sundays he conducted serv
ices In church, has resigned his
pastorate because he wishes to de-
ing uncertain In what you are up
against.
"If you doubt this, go Into politics.
Take up welfare work or social re
form, put your hand to the plow or
in high service; expose wickedness
in high place sand in places not high
and I'll promise you that if you do
not believe In God you will have no
doubt about the devil.
"Down at Washington at the
great world missionary conference a
few weeks ago a Japanese speaker
informed a vast audience that In
his country his people recognized
two classes of people In America
Christians and senators.
"We have two classes of people In
this city Christians and you can
call the others what you wish.
"If we are Christians we must
be something more than church
members. We must take our work
seriously. - We must get rid of
the Idea that reforms come and
miracles are wrought by wish
ing. Everybody wishes things were
better even senators.
"The t ruble with a lot of good
people today is that they spend
their time wishing furiously, wish
ing thaUfha other fellow would
wake up. get busy and do something.
"The provoking thing about these
wishers is that they are all experts.
They know how to run a business,
a country, a church, even a Bible
class better than those who are
carrying the burden.
"It's one thing to stand on a rock
and shout instructions to a fellow
who is struggling with a drowning
man. It's another proposition to
plunge into the water and help bring
him ashore.
"If all the people in New Britain
who know how things ought to be
done would take a hand in trying
to do them, the bootlegger, the dope
tlond, the gambler and a host of
their kind would be as scarce in
this city as the missing link.
"They thrive because we Chris
tians are asleep in Zion wishing.
Because however much some people
hate the things which spoil the life
of the city, they hate more tho
trouble and cost of putting these
things to flight.
"Moses had as good chance to
enjoy the pleasures of sin as any
man in Egypt, and the explorations
of Howard Carter and the late Lord
Carnarvon have unearthed treasures
which filled the world with amaze
ment at tho regal splendor In the
midst of which "he was reared as an
adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter.
"Why didn't he settle down and
say: 'Soul take thine ease.' He
could have sent the Israelites an oc
casional check for an annual picnic
and say he was sorry for them.
"No man ever had so many ex
cuses for minding his own business,
for persuading himself that some
time this thing would right Itself,

"Doj't waste your time counting
