Where Are
Righteousness Is Religion
of John Haynes Holmes,
Former Unitarian, Now
Community Chureh Pastor
g8V8 He Hates Orthodoxy
Calls Billy Sunday's Teach?
ings Irrational, Immoral,
t'ntrue and a Crime
Among the popular preachers of New
York, rone is more frequently in the
public eye than John Haynes Holmes.
His' church, at Thirty-fourth Street
and Park Avenue, is the setting for an
experiment that is being watched by
clergymen of all faiths. Mr. Holmes
has cut loose from Unitarianism, but
Jlis church has not?formally. Yet his
church recognizes what iMr. Holmes
terms the demands of the new day in
jnatters ecclesiastical to the extent
that it does not insist upon adherence
to the tenets of Unitarianism. It has
Jet down all bars but one?a desire to
Jive a better life. On that platform
?.ny one Is welcome.
Ky a vote of the membership the
church has yielded its old name -the
Church of the Messiah?to be known
as the Community Church of New
5fork.
Mr. Holmes has been on what Rcg
|n?id Campbell, in his famous state?
ment on returning to the Established
Church, called a "spiritual pilgrimage."
It has been a long journey, but at last
Jlr- Holmes feels that he is face to
ftce with the verities. Several years
???o he publicly indicated what was
going on in his mind.
"We need a new church," he 6aid, ' a
church that shall bo devoted to truth
and not to tradition, that shall be
moved by a spirit of freedom and no.
of author and that shall be dedi?
cated to justice and not to charity."
Richteousness His Religion
Some months later Mr. Holmes sai?!
Jrt would reviso the First Command
jnent to read, "You chai! have no other
Concept:-:, of God but the conception
of a God i i- E ghte ?us ne? . You shall
therefore have no religion except a
?jeligion which moans righteousness.
Anv-1 :??'.? the en; ?.cements of life noth
.-Ing shall have command over the soul
lSave duty."
\ All the hairier? between a whole
fc?artpd welcome for those who were
earnestly seeking after righteousness
?ere swept aside in turn until finally
Mr. Holmes announced the platform of
the Coni < 'hurch.
Most of his people had accompanied
kirn on his spiritual pilgrimage. There
Vere a few defections, but many more
?ccessions. To-day his church is in a
lour.d financial condition and is show?
ing a steady growth ii membership.
In the day immediately preceding
America'- < itrai into the '.? in- his
pulpit utteram ? were t!-;- subject of
liathing rebukes from the press and
ether puiri'.- He was an avowed
pacifist and did everything possible to
convince hi? people that Americans duty
vasto show that there was one great
nation which had outgrown war.
Adherents Were Loyal
His of?cial board and his adherents
refused to be moved by the attacks
cpor: their pastor, aying that the right
ci free ?jpe'e-ch was guaranteed to the
people et this c ?untry and that there
war no mistal - Mi Holm? s's sin?
cerity.
Two months before America's formal
declaration of ? the preacher said:
"We mUBt . trai nerve t j prevent
hostilities. !.. fiercest militarist
cannot regard it ; > itial either to
our dignity or . ? to take up arms.
Eanish, if you ? I, the German govern
Tr-"' t from oui pathy; refuse it

tior; exile it from the recognized fam?
ily of mank but this is enough."

the Great ]
THE REV. JOHN
:an armies Mr. Holmes continued his
jpposition to wars in the abstract, but
?e has declared publicly ho did nothing
o obstruct the. progress of the United
states toward the ultimate triumph.
>oon after tho armistice he said he
nought the war, after all, had achieved
ne great blessing for all mankind, for
10 felt that the horrors of warfare had
leen disclosed on so colossal a scale
hat there never could be another great
struggle.
Hates Orthodoxy
To understand the scope of his ef?
fort in the Community Church it is
well to recall a statement he made one
Sunday morning when he changed pul?
pits with Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of
the Free Synagogue. "I hate ortho?
doxy as I hate hell," he said on this
>ccasion, and his programme for the
new work --hows ilia! lie is true to his
nato, for there i ; nothing orthodox
about it.
In discussing his plans he raid "The
Community Church will nol he denom?
inational, Ii will be siipply hitched up
o the community. Any one may become
i member with no questions asked. An
atheist will be as welcome as a theist,
an agnostic as a confirmed believei
We will accept Christianity and add
everything else to it."'"
The leader of this new movement, in
ippearance, is a typical clergyman. His
'eatures arc finely cut; the expression
,f his eyes is eager. He has much of
he urbanity of the clergyman of tra?
ction. His manner suggests the pas
or. He is a sympathetic, interested
istener. To any one in trouble he is
is welcome friend.
Jn the pulpit he has great gifts. His
oice is rich and well modulated. He
las "presence," and an ability to es
ablish, with a few words, a contact
vith his hearers that remains un
iroken until the end. He speaks
?apidly and with intensity. When
ifoused he is like a man on fur.
From his pulpit he fearlessly st?
acks abuses and, when necessary,
'names names." He attack-, evils in
?ommunity and political life with all
;he fervor he can command.

Preachers?
HAYNES HOLMES
the evenings a forum is held in his
church. It attracts large audiences,
and men and women of all creeds take
part in its discussions.
He advocated the teaching of sex
j facts to children one morning in these
; words:
"Sex facts should he taught first
i of all by the parents, just as soon as
j children begin to ask questions. The
?quesaons must be answered easily and
j naturally. The answers must be
J stated in terms not of information
but. of poetry and romance.
"Next comes the school. Here our
method must not be poetry, but
science.
?'We come to another stage in our
sex instructions. The pupil knows
now about the psychology of life?
he must also know about tho psycho?
logy of love. This means literature.
"Lastly conies the spiritualization of
it all. Hero the church diu.-t do its
perfect work in transforming the |
physical into the spiritual."'
One Sunday morning Mr. Holmes
discussed the laws of divorce and said i
the difficulties in tho way of divorce.
undoubtedly worked great hardships in
many cases. Like many other reform?
?is he said he felt the difficulty to bo
; in tho marriage laws rather than in
the divorce statute?. This statement
led to many animated discussions and
much bit ter criticism.
Roused Over Hilly Sunday
"When Billy Sunday's campaign in
New York began Mr. Holmes's indig?
nation reached fever pitch. Finally
he exclaimed:
"Mr, Sunday i:i doing Now York n
great service, lie i.; showing us ortho?
dox theology, not as it appears in
model 11 masquerade of evasion and
compromise, but in its essential ugli
ness, cruelty and falsity. He then
named famous Unitarians, nil of whom,
he said, would be condemned to hell
i-' Mr. Sunday'.-, doe! lines were true.
Among them were John Adams, .lohn
Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, ?.Iil
lard Fillmore, .lohn Marshall, Daniel
Webster, Edward Everett, Henry Wads
north Longfellow, Jame", Russell Low
ell, William Cullen Bryant, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, George Bancroft,
Bret Harte, Susan B. Anthony and
George William Curtis.
"What arc wo to think of a theology
. that consigns such people to hell?" ho
: asked. "I know what I think?that it.
is irrational, immoral, untrue. A re?
ligion which involves such logic as
this is not a religion at all. It is a
crime."
The subject of next Monday's article,
the fourteenth in this series, will be
the. Rev. Percy Stickncy Grant, rector
, of the, Church of the Ascension.
Thrift Stamps to Teach
Children. How to Save
New York City Schools to 'Ink?'
Part in IMun Devi*?*?! by
the Vi/?' Burra?
Every school child in New York is
to be urged to save by purchase of
war savings and thrift stamps as the
result of a conference between Ben?
jamin Strong, governor of the F?deral
loan organization, and Anning S. Prall,
president of the Board of Education.
Mr. Trail was so impressed with the
new method of teaching regular Baving
which has been introduced to children
of several schools in Now York City
that general adoption of the plan has
been decided upon, and it is probable
that thrift will be made a part of the
New York public school child's curric?
ulum.
Tho plan, developed by the school
bureau of the war savings committee,
calls for wide distribution of so-called
penny school savings books. For every
cent that is deposited with the teacher
she is authorized to imprint a likeness
! of Benjamin Franklin in tho penny sav
] ings book of tho youthful depositor.
Twenty-five of theso imprints call for
one thrift stamp.
The vacation season will not inter?
ioro with the plan. During the months
that the schools are closed tho chil?
dren will have W. S. S. thrift banks
in which they can deposit their pen?
nies for thrift stamps when they re?
turn to school in September. These
; banks, made of durable pasteboard, will
; be given to tho pupils in the last week
! of tho term.
Artists for New Symphony
Fritz Kreisler and Jacques Thibaud,
violinists, and Mlo. Guiomur Novae-,
Serge Rachmaninoff and Harold Bhirt,
pianists, have been engaged by S. E.
Macmillen, manager of tho .New Sym?
phony Orchestra, for next season. Tho
orchestra will give ten pairs of con?
certs at Carnegie Hall, tho Boloista
alternating at each pulr.

tary, civil and religious leaders in the
World War, was announced last night
by Herbert L. Pratt, secretary and
treasurer of the organization, of which
Henry White, of the American Peace
Mission, is honorary chairman.
Tho American mission has indorsed
the project, and the portraits, together
with a group painting of the peace
conference, are to be exhibited in sev?
eral leading cities, according to the
announcement. Later they will be
placed in the care of the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington, to be hung
eventually in the new national por?
trait gallery of the building, for which
an appropriation of $1,000,000, now be?
fore Congress, is authorized.

Pratt said, to induce John S. Sargent j

collection, while commissions have
been accepted by Cecelia Beaux, .lean
McClane, Joseph De Camp, John C. Jo
hansen, Edmund C, Tarbell, Douglas ?

Paris for Malines next Tuesday to un?
dertake a portrait of Cardinal Mer?
cier, Mr. Pratt was advised by cable
to-day by Chairman White. Tarbell
and Hopkinson are on the way to Eu?
rope.

Mr. Pratt's statement said., include
those of President fVIlson, General
I'ershing, Admiral Sims, Premier Lloyd ;

Walker, of Minneapolis, and (.'liarles
T. Walcott, of the Smithsonian Insti
tution. It is hoped, Mr. Pratt said,
that Charles P. Taft, presiden! of the
Ail Museum of Cincinnati, also will
join the movement. It is planned to
form .u.b committees in the larger
cities, each to raise a fun-! to linanco
(ho painting of a group of three pnr
trait?. The entire project, it. is opti?
male.!, will entail an expenditure of
$200,000 to $250,000,
Seeking strong government support,
as well us financial backing, which he !
asserted was necessary to induce Arne I
ican and Allied war notables to sti for
portraits, Mr. Pratt declared that the ,
American peace, mission, through Mr.
White, had volunteered its aid, and
that J. P. Morgan, John P. Rockefeller,
jr., and other well-known citizens had
agreed to contribute.
Mr. White cabled from Paris: "It is
the opinion of tho American mission
that this work should be undertaken
by the National Art. Committee, not by
the government. The mission, how
err, v. ill be pleased to lend its aid to
the commit lee."
Mr, Pratt interpreted this message to
mean that President Wilson, General
Bliss, Secretary Lansing and Colonel i
House, as well as Mr. White, were
ready to assist the committee in every
possible way.

'True Heart Susie," at Strand,
Another Triumph for
D. W. Griffith
Yesterday, just as we were about to
start for the Strand Theatre, we re?
ceived a letter from Lillian Gish and
another one from David Griffith.
Both were written in terms calcu?
lated to make you feel that "all's" right
with the world," even if you are suf?
fering from incipient pneumonia, and
so we went to the Strand in just the
proper frame of mind to appreciate
"True Heart Susie," Mr. Griffith's
latest picture, with Miss Gish as the
star.
The setting is bucolic, the story is
ordinary, the titles are not clever, and
often they are quite superfluous, and
yet "True Heart Susie" is a great pict?
ure!
Can you imagine a story of a girl
who sacrifices herself to earn money
to send the boy she love3 to school, and
then to have him fall in love with a
real baby vamp, and to leave him
marry the wrong girl, and then to have
virtue triumph in the end? Can you
imagine this being treated in an inter?
esting?and human way? We could
not until we saw it unfold itself beauti?
fully before our eyes.
And can you fancy that you would
not be bored with titles which say
"Susie decides to hush up," or "Will?
iam goes for a walk," or words to that
effect?
But it is the simplicity, the sincerity,
the entire freedom from all striving!
for effect that delights.
Lillian Gish is as charming and as'
awkwardly pathetic as ever, and the !
charact-r which she portrays is the
rame sort which has made her famous.!
Robert liarron, as the boy -who be?
comes a minister, is delightful.
Susie is described as having a single- j
track heart. The title says, "After all,]
there are people with single-track '
hearts," and after all, perhaps, there j
are.
However, William had little compe- !
tition, for we saw no other swains come ;
singing under Susie's window.
Just because, one day, when William
was home from college and eating ice
cream in the village store with Susie,
he told her that men liked to flirt with
?rirls. who painted and powdered, but
that they married the plain ones, Susie
thought that she was betrothed.
It was therefore something of a
shock when William announced his en?
gagement to Betty Hopkins, a milliner
from Chicago, who not only painted
and powdered but wore silk stockings
and satin shoes and tight skirts.
William married her because he had
that obsession which is known as love.
She married William because she was
tired of working, and after that she
never did work any more. William ate
canned meat three times a day and pre?
pared it himself. Susie occasionally
invited them to dinner and fed him
roast chicken and home-made biscuit,
which made him suspect that perhaps
he was paying the bills for the wrong
woman niter all.
But the end ernes suddenly; bo sud
dcnly, in fact, that you suspect some
one of discovering that the picture was
going to run a half-hour too Icrtig, and
if it liad it wouldn't have been a bit
too long to jilease us.
Clarine Seymour, who appeared re?
cently in "The Girl Who Stayed at
Home," i.; very effective n:i ihe other
girl. For those who do reit like to be
harrowed the picture has a happy
ending.

snobbish picture. It hasn't the courage
of its convictions, for while it starts
out with a perfectly nice mounted po?
liceman which any girl might be proud
to bring home, it constantly harps on
the fact that his father was a police
commissioner, like Enright, that he
had a college education, and finally,
when he applies for the hand of the

says with hand on the shoulder and all ]
that 6ort of thing, "You're a fine boy, |

heiress, while she was breaking the !
speed laws in the Park. He held up
her car and told her to go easy, for
which her father had him put off his
horse and into a plainclothes job.
It looked like Central Park, but it
couldn't have been, for no million?
aire's daughter rides in Central Park
wearing a black velvet riding habit, a
silk beaver derby and a flowing polka
dotted tie.
Anyway, after Larry was trans?
ferred to his plainclothes job he was
sent 'to watch the wcddinir presents
right in the set in which Frances
moved, and of course he put it all over
all the rich and brainless males and
Frances fell in love with him and
everything was over but the congrat?
ulations, because Frances always had
whatever she cried for.
Tom Moore is most attractive as "the
finest." Leena Owen is the girl and
Edwin Sturgis does a bit as a con?
vict, which is good. The story is by J.
Clarksort Miller and the picture was
directed by Harry Beaumont.
On the picture programme also is
a Judge Rumhauser cartoon, a Bruce
scenic, "Men I Have Met," and "The
Rialto Magazine."
The overture is "Euryanthe," with
Hugo Riesenfeld and Nat Finston con?
ducting. Sascha Fidelinan played a
paraphrase on "Lucia di Lammermoor"
on the violin and Martin Biefel and
Edouardo Albano sang the duet from
"Otello." The light opera number is
from "High Jinks."
At the Rivoli Hugo Riesenfeld is pre?
senting "The Red Lantern" for a re?
turn engagement. To our way of
thinking, this waB not by any means
Nazimova's beat picture, but Dr.
Riesenfeld has surrounded the feature
with such a remarkable programme
that we do not wonder at the popular?
ity of the entire performance.
"The Glow of the Lantern" opens the
programme. It is a Chinese fantasy
staged by Adolf Bolm and John Wen
jer. "The Celestial Kingdom" is an
?ducational film, and the organ solo is
'Torchlight March," Mary Ball sings
:he "Chinese Lullaby" from "East Is
IVest."
At the Broadway Theatre Henry
IVarner is appearing in "The Man Who
Fumed While." This will be reviewed

Captain Laura Fraser
New Motor Corps Head
Succeeds Major Helen R. Bas?
teci?, Who Sails for Europe;
Corps Becomes Reserve Body
Captain Laura Fraser becomes the
executive head of the Woman's Motor
Corps of America with the departure of
Major Helen Russell Bastedo for Europe
this week. Coincident with Major Baste
do's sailing the corps became a reserve
body.
Captain Fraser and her husband,
James Fraser, are both sculptors. She
makes a specialty of horses and dogs.
Last year she won the Helen Foster
Burnett prize at the Metropolitan Mu?
seum. Her husband did the death mask
of Roosevelt and a life mask of Presi?
dent Wilson.
The staff Major Bastedo leaves in con?
trol of tho corps during her absence fol?
lows: Captain Marguerite Little, chief
of staff; Captain Laura Fraser, ex?
ecutive officer; Lieutenant Evelyn Feck,
assistant executivo officer; Lieutenant
Ethel Cutler Freeman, adjutant; Lieu?
tenant Adele Colgate, assistant adju?
tant; Captain-Bonnie Freeman, quarter?
master; Captain Marguerite Ogilvie,
head of the Brooklyn and Long Island
Corps; Captain Edna O'Brien, in charge
of Westchester, and Captain Rachel
Robinson, in charge of New Jersey.
"Good Morning, Judge," at tho Shu
bcrt Theatre, which was booked for a j
summer run, will closo Saturday night, !
pending reorganization in the fall. Tho \
marriage of Mollie King is the cause.
Miss King was married at the Munici- j
pal Building last Monday to Kenneth :
Dada Alexander, of Kentucky. A re- |
ligious ceremony will take place a
week from to-morrow. Immediately
following the religious ceremony Miss
King will depart on her honeymoon,
despite the pleas, threats and protests
of the managers.
When Ed Wynn, of "Sometime," at
tho Casino Theatre, received a letter
of thanks from E. F. Alhee for his part
as master of ceremonies at tho Salva?
tion Army Benefit at the Hippodrome,
the comedian called it the end of a
perfect season of benefit performances.
No other actor on Broadway can
touch Wynn's record of 110 benefit ap?
pearances since April, 1917, and now
that the war is over he has forsworn
benefits until the fall. Until then he
will spend his spare moments framing
letters of thanks sent him by Pr ?ideat
Wilson and others, and incidentally
working for Arthur Hammerstein. Up
to now Mr. Hammerstein says Wynn
has been working for him between
benefits.
The thirteenth edition of the "Zieg
feld Follies," which will open at the
New Amsterdam Theatre June 16, will
have Marilyn Miller, Eddie Cantor,
Johnny Dooley, Ray Dooley, Nancy
Brown, Lucille Chalfant, Delyle Alda,

The Burden
of Proof
THE difficulty
is not to prove
that Tecla Pearls

look alike, but to
prove that they
do not* And even
experts cannot do
that. They can
prove that they
are different, but
not that they do
not look alike.
