C. E. Granger, who 100k for his subject
the removal from the $10 gold coins by
the President the motto, “In God VVe

Iu Dart Mr. Granger said;

or truly successful living; indeed, it Is tne
corner-stone in mat loundaiiori. And the
principle of trusting iu God, as a duty, aa
a sagacity, applies equally to individuals,
to families, tu institutions and to nations.
\V e do not have to go very deep into
American matory to see that trust in God
was a basic principle with the founders
of our nation in the great work they had
»n naud. The declaration ot Independence
begins with a full recognition of God and
ends with an expression of reliance upon
Ills divine protection. Washington’s

11 18 pf greatest value to a nation as to
an individual, to be early taught to ‘stay’
upon God. And it is a worthy thing for
nation rrn It u. t\... i
acknowledge that reliance and to confess
that dependence and to publish that con
fidence. it is also wise and a fitting
thing for a nation or a government, by
constant exhortation, suggestion and ex
ample. to encourage the people in nnd in
spire the people to this trust in the great
Ruler of Nations
-_Rr°udly and gratefully we say it. our
la#T(l has been slgnnlly blessed with agents
And agencies for the reiteration and pro
mulgation of this great duty and wise con
duct of trusting In God. The religiousness
of the early colonists, nnd later fouuders of
our nation, the chnmeters of flu* men who
have occupied the office of Chief Executive
and of many other more promin-.iit iu our
national life, the American Christian
Sabbath, now sad to say in awful jeopardy;
and not least our national day of thanks
giving and prayer, ail these have constant
ly. repeatedly warned the nation, appealed
to the nation to trust in God.
"But a noth- r agency has been used to
this end, in lie way of profession, sugges
tion and appeal. Upon some of our national
coins In currency has for years neen in
scribed the sin.pie. dignified and leverent
phrase. ‘In God We Trust.’ This inscrip
tion is now under the executive ban. and
is omitted fiom the new coinage being
minted. It is against the erasure of this
phrase from ou* coinage that I with many
fellow citizens w.sh to protest.
"I ani aware that there Is even among
God-fearing people a real diversity of opin
ion upon the matter. I do not for one
moment question cither Mr. Roosevelt’s
sincerity or integrity or reverence. I only
think, but fUmly believe him nnd those of
like opinion io be mistaken and in serious
error.
“The argument for the removal of this
phrase from our coinage seems to be, first
and foremost, that it is incongruous) and
subject to ridicule and jest. I see nothing
incongruous In its use. If trust in God is
opposed to the spirit of graft and greed,
then it appeal’s to me very fitting and wise
that there should be upon our coins tills
warning, this admonition, put not your
triisi in horses, in chariots, in princes, in
mighty men, in silver or gold, but In
God for things both temporal and spiritual.
“What, may we ask. could be used as a
substitute for this time-honored, reverent
phrase? Will we leave the space an ach
ing void? or will we attempt a substitute?
I have heard some suggestions. A body of
Christian men in New York suggest the
words, 'God and the Republic.’ Just
what that means I don’t know and I don’t
'Vny do. I have heard suggested
nnd Liberty,’ but that la poor. We
use ‘Remember the * Maine' and
.grati'.v the profane element In society. We
■*mlghi with the change <>t but a single
. wor,f use the phrase Bismarck thundered
-erv to the world in the Franco-Prusslan war.
•Germany fears nothing but God.’ We
might with the change of a single word
use tho popular British phrase ‘God Save
tho King.’ But no. they will not do. No
man, no body of men. could select or de
vise si phrase that could give such general
satisfaction ami bo so generally acceptable
os tone, ‘In God We Trust.’ It has
nothing of the bravado and defiance of
‘Germany fears,’ etc. It has nothing of
s the vengeance of ‘Remember the Maine.’
Tt has nothing of the Idol worship of ‘God
Save the King.’ It has nothing of tho
stil cdness of ‘God and the Republic.’ It
Ip it once simple, pure, dignified, reverent,
and above all, I am glad to believe, sin
ter. .ncongruous do they say, obsolete
do they say? Why, do wre not as a nation
’ rust God? Who Is saying 'In God We
7 !-i.” Not the man who owns the coin,
ihe man who profanes the coin, not
the nan who corrupts the coin, but tho
government that If sues the coin; repre
:rnti.ig tlie* good and righteous people of
a .ion. Then, If we as a nation trust
it us say so. anywhere, everywhere.
^ si nt with decency and dignity over
\uiul over again. And let us beware In the
er sure of this phrase lest the world mis
understand the Intent and meaning, for,
Wi.ile we know that it is all right and even
with the omtalon we are not repudiating
rei.glon or God, yet the world will never
understand that, and the reproach will be
upon us. _
‘‘And so 1 believe that our President and
his advisers In this to be mistaken and In
great error.’’ __

Sr. Torrey Ends Great Work and 3,200
I Are Added to Christian Army
A. Torrey closed last night one of the
most remarkable evangelistic cam
paigns ever conducted In Chicago. The
meetings, which were held for the most
part in a huge steam-heated tent,
erected at North Clark and Chestnut
streets, have attracted an average at
tendance of 8,000 for Sundays and 3,000
on other nights.
Dr. Torrey has delivered 136 sermons
to more than 275.000 listeners. About
3,200 persons have professed conver
sion. The campaign was planned and
financed by the Laymen’s Evangelical
Association, 250 members of which con
tributed *30,000. Dr. Torrey left last
night for his home in Philadelphia.
After a week’s rest there he will go
to Virginia for a series of meetings.
PREACH TO JURORS
CLERGY MEMBERS PLEAD
FOR RELIGION.
The Rev. Mr. McClinchie Tells Recent
Inquisitors State and Church Should
Unite in Ron-Sectarian Compact.
“What are the Normal and Most Bene
ficial Conditions Which Should Exist Be
tween the Church and the State?” was the
subject of the Rev. Mr. McClinchle. of
Irvington, at the Belleville Avenue Con
gregational Church last night where two
sermons were delivered to the members
of the Grand Jury which finished its
labors last Saturday. The other address
was made by the pastor of the church, the
; Rev. Theodore M. Shipherd. Both clergy
men were members of the jury.
The subject of the address delivered by
the Rev. Mr. McClinchle was: “What Are
the Normal and Most Beneficial Condi
tions Which Should Exist Between the
Church and the State?”
The American idea, he Raid, was that
there should be no connection; that the
one should be absolutely Independent of
the other. This doctrine was not advo
cated outside of the United States. It
originated with the construction placed
upon the Constitution, whereby tolera
tion was given to every creed, but he
thought that the Constitution had been
misconstrued In this connection, partly at
least.
He deplored the fact that the religious
training of pupils in the public institutous
was not more thorough. The present
financial troubles might have been averted,
he declared, had men with proper religious
training been in the high places instead of
those who were not trained to withstand
the temptations of the twentieth century.
Such training was needed now more
badly than ever before, he said, and refer
ring to statistics declared that the number
of criminals had Increased more than
fourfold within the last twenty-five years.
This could not be explained by attributing
It to Increase in immigration, but was to
be accounted for by the lack of proper re
ligious training of American boys and
girls In State Institutions.
As a nation, Americans were straying
far from the ideals and sterling integrity
of'their forefathers, he declared, and this
could only be counteracted and prevented
by having the State and the church united
in a non-sectarian, undenominational com
pact for the good of the country.
At the conclusion of his iiddrosa the Rev.
Theodore M. Skipuvd miked briefly to
the jurors. He had wondered, ho Raid,
If a man could meet the exacting demand*
of business, public and private affairs and
still be a model cit»zen. More than ever,
he said, he had bee 1 thinking of this
question since his service upon the Grand
Jury. There, he decla od, men bad a
glimpse of life from the other side, and
the glimpse, he thought, was as beneficial
| to the man living ip a model environment
I ns it was*to the man who haJ tD struggle
Jiard to keep a roof above his Ueiul.
“There la not a man,” ho said, “not the
meanest In all creation, no matter how
low ho has fallen, how depraved his appe
tites. whom God does not love, for whom
He dopp not care. Yet. how many rare
for their fellowmen? Here is the spectacle
of an infinite, all-merciful Father who
loves the strayed and the wayward as He
loves those who honor Him, and we. the |
creatures of His making, pass by, uncar- .
ing, those whom He loves. We rare not
for their fate; yet Hr enrei. What right ;
have we to do this thing?”
“ROOSEVELT PANIC” CRY
ABSURD, SAYS PREACHER.
President Blameless and Is the Right
Man to Combat Greedy Individ
uals and Corporations,
PATERSON. Dec. 2.—In the course
of a sermon he called “Looking Back- |
ward,” the Rev. John O. Sparnon In
the Trinity M. E. Church last night
paid tributes to President Roosevelt
and William McKinley and Abraham
Lincoln. The preacher found, he said,
cause for thanksgiving In the great
events of this nation. Speaking of
President Roosevelt the minister said:
"We must not forget today him who
is at the head of our nation, President
Roosevelt. We glory in such independ
ence as his—when he Informs the Sen
ate and the world that 'promotions in
the army and navy must and will be
made on merit and no interference will
be tolerated, wire-pulling will preju
dice more than help a case.’ This is
honesty. As a Christian he has never
been doubted.
“We hear considerable about the !
■Roosevelt panic.’ Some say the Presi
dcnt\is to blame. Paul said, ’Shall we
conilnue in sin that grace may
abound?’ God forbl^. We do not blnme
but honor the President, who, seeing
the wrong committed, would not. coun
tenance It. It was the reckless and
selfish proceedings of greedy Individ
uals and corporations who, through a
false and Inflated financial prosperity,
brought on the panic, and we will now,
and in years to come people will ap
plaud the President for boldly facing a
powerful body of men who were ac
customed to having their own way In
the financial world. The President
called a halt to such recklessness and
had regard to public welfare and pub
lic rights. No one need fear simply be
cause a man has been found who dares
tell the people that some of their prac- I
Uses are wrong. It is not the Presi- I
dent, but the wrong, we should con- .
demn."

OBSERVE HANUKKAH
GREAT JEWISH FEAST WAS
OPENED SATURDAY.
Will Continue with Solemn Services for
Eight Days—Commemorates Macca
bees’ Victory Over Syrian Hosts.
The feast of Hanukkah among the,
Jewish residents in this city opeued Sat
urdays sunset and will continue for eight i
days.
The feast day was ushered in by light
ing a special candle called the “light of
Hanukkah.'* The word means “dedica
tion.” and the feast is to commemorate
the victories of the Maccabees over the
hosts of Syria, the triumphal reentry into
the holy city of Jerusalem, and the .cleans
ing of the temple from the idols that had
been set up in the sacred precincts of the
grfat city, which is the cherished centre
of every true Israelite's religion.
The occasion was one that aroused the
residents of the Holy City at the time,
and they drove the hateful Antiochue far
from the boarders of the holy land and
opened up a new era for the Jews in
Palestine.
Hanukkah is also called “Feast of
Lights,” because on the evening before the
first day of the feast, one light is kindled i
alike in synagogue and home, and every
following night the number of lights is In
creased by one, until on the eighth night
every house and synagogue 1ms Its eight j
lights all burning. The kindling of the
lights is in memory of the following inci
dent at the time of the Maccabees. In the
second century before Christ:
When the priests entered the temple to
purify (he holy places profaned by the
Syrians, hey could not find any ritually
prepared oil with which to light the ”Ner
Tantld,” or "Perpetual.” At last, by dint
of much searching, they found a small
cruse of consecrated and unpolluted oil
which had been sealed and hidden for some
such occasfbn as this. Through a miracle
this cruse lasted for an entire week.
On the Hanukkah evenings It has
long been the custom to indulge in
games and other pastimes. The most pop
ular gj.me in Germany, Austria and Poland
was, and is yet in some parts, the "Tren
del” (from the German "drehen”). It is
played with a revolving die, on the four
sides of which arc the Hebrew letters cor
responding with G, H, N and S. In He
brew, those are tlio initial letters of the
sentence "Nes Godol Hoyo Shum” (a great
miracle happened there). Each player puts
a certain amount Into a pool and then
spins the die, whi^h is pierced with a pivot.
When the die falls showing the letter G on
the top, the person who plnyed takes the
whole stakes, the letter indicating ”ganz.''
In the eight days of the feast, the Hallel,
or service of praise, is Included in the
prayers.
At the Temple B'nai Jeahurun special
sendees will be held next Friday even
ing at S o’clock and Saturday morn
ing at 10. There will be sermons appro
priate to the orcaslon. The Hanukkah
hymn. "We Will Praise, O Lord. Thy
Grace,” wijl be sung. It is a translation
from an ancient Hebrew source. On Sun
day, December 8, at 2:30 p. m., there will
he a Ifanukknh sendee for th » children of
the religious school.
At the Synagogue B'nai Abraham, on
Friday evening, December 6, the Hanuk
kah lights will be kindled. Reveu of the
eight candles In the candelabra will bo
lighted, that-being the seventh day of the
festival. On December 8, the last day of
the festival, there will be a children's cele
bration of Hanukkah at 2:30 p. in. All the
lights will be kindled by the children, who
will conduct the entire service. At its
close each child will receive a box of
candy, according to yearly custom.
At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon a
Hunukknh festival service for children was
held at tho Synagogue Oheb Sliolom. The
Hnnukkah prayers and psalms will also b* j
recited at the regular services next Friday j
at 8 p. in. and Saturday morning at 9:45.

Miss Annie Smith Talks on "Withered
Hands.”
A large congregation listened to a ser
mon last night In Grace Methodist Episco
pal Church by Miss Annie Agnes Smith, a
young evangllst. Her subject was "With
ered Hands," and her text was taken from '
Mark ih , S. She said id part:
"What are you going to do with that
crushing experience wh.ch Came Into your
life? By your sorrow you have a key
which unlocks thousands upon thousands
of otherwise closely locked hearts—the
key of Intelligent, understanding sympathy.
Oh, Christian, stretch forth thy withered
hand.
"What about your talents? Have they
been lying dormant until they have be
- ,mc a withered hand? Christ says, S:and
forth.
"How about your education? Has your
college course made a gulf between you
anil humanity, or have you placed your
culture on God's altar? There are places
where only the cultured can bo of serv
ice. God calls you.
"Or il may be your hand Is withered
because of sin. The grent withering blight

CHRIST IN SCHOOLS
BEVJDR. D. H. MARTIN SAYS
MAJORITY SHOULD RULE.
Opposition to Carols in Public Schools,
Says Minister, Conies from Quests
of Country.
At the Clinton Avenue Reformed Church
Sunday night the Rev. Dr. Dnnlel H.
Martin, of the Clinton Avenue Reformed
Church, In concluding his course of ser
mons on the "Problems of the City,”
preached on "The Foreign Cities of New
ark." He spoke In part as follows:
"It Is difficult to comprehend the vast
numbers of people who are crossing our
threshold year by year. The United States
has received 5,000,000 In the past seven
years. Why do these people come? Doubt
less through pressure of economy or dread
of military service. Parents with large
families come with the hope that their
children will have a chance to climb; the
steamship companies, whose agents scour
the couutry,' tell of the big advantages
In America. But the greatest Incentive
of all Is in the letters sent home from
men already here, with glowing reports
of work and wages.
“The greatest of all blessings to this
country have been the tides of immigra
tion. Just think of It, ancient Rome UBCd
to go off Into Central Europe and wage
bloody war lor the purixise of bringing
home hosts of captives to do their work.
We have not sent any mighty army Into
Central Europe, at the poiut of the bay
onet to bring over here captives to in
crease our wealth and do our work, for
they are coming of their own Initiative.
"One large element In the amalgamated
population of this country Is in ihe He
brew race—a peculiar people, in that they
have never asserted themselves as a body
In political matters, or even in matters
touching religious things, lu time of war
we have not heard of any distinctively
Hebrew regiment; no Hebrew muss meet
ings for the purpose of concentrating the
Hebrew Beuliment on great questions of
patriotism. But last year a protest was
made to the Board of Education in Man
hattan.
that appeal aud actually granted the
petition, passing resolution tnat no hymns
or cards In wnieh the name of Christ or
Christmas occurred. The ground on which
tlie Hebrews asked for this was that 'sec
tarianism was torbidden in the public
schools, and, as this is not a Christian
nation, this country recognizes no re
ligion.’ A dispossess warrant served on
the Christian religion in our public schools!
Do you wonder that the sleepy Christian
sentiment of Manhattan has been aroused.
“These orthodox Hebrew* claim that
this is not a Christian nation, therefore
the Christian religiou should not be taug.it.
No such insult as that has ever been
thrust upQu our nation. The one distinc
tive feature of the American republic is
that it is distinctively recognized as u
Christian nation. It is Christian religion
that lias made ‘this nation what it is—
great and powerful. It is the spirit of
Jesus Christ that lias made this land u
refuge and asylum for the oppressed ot
all the world. The two foundation stones,
and the only two, on which our Temple of
Liberty has been erected are the Bible and
Jesus Christ.
“Personally 1 hate always stood up for
our Jewish citizens, pleaded their cause,
and Insisted that persecution of the Jew
always resulted in God’s vengeance. Under
our Stars and Stripes they have found a
land of peace, a snelter and refuge from
bloody persecutors. They have been peace
ful, law-abiding guests in our bouse; but
now suddenly these guests rise up and de
mand that we take out of our publ.c
schools, which existed before they came
to us, all mention of the Son of God. One
would think that after the fearful experi
ences which the Jews have just passed
tiirough In Russia they would not take any
steps to alienate American sympathy.
“They claim they are only asking for
their constitutional rights. This is a freo
country, where all religions are tolerated,
aud we have no right to teach any one re
ligion. If that is so, let us have a new
constitution. But It so happens that'this
is a Christian country, and that the Chris
tian religion In the recognized religion. The
Supreme Court of the United States and
the Court of Appeals of New York have
said that this is a Christian country. If
the Jewish position is right, then the next
step will be to repeal ail recognition of
Sunday, mid, at the request of the atheists,
forbid all allusion even to God in the
public schools.
“I wonder If our Jewish friends cannot
sen* the absurdity of their position. Sup
pose when a Jewish king ruled in Jeru
salem that an Immigration of some Bud
dhists from India had gone to Jerusalem
and lived for a while. Suppose there were
public schools there, and these Buddhists
asked that all allusion to Moses in the
schools he forbidden at the Feast, of the
RflfiHover, on the ground that it is sec
tarian-can you imagine these orthodox i
Jews granting the request? What a short- !
sighted guest he is who coun s into your j
house to warm himself by your fire, then
tips over the stove and scatters Hie burn-!
log coals upon the floor, to the destruction j
of the house tlyit has sheltered and |
warmed him. If the Jewish people over
turn our Christian institutions they will
do exactly what poor blind Samson did,
who pulled down the temple, destroying
himself ns well as those upon whom the;
ruins fell.
1 UU IIUI UCilUVO Llldl JllUIt* luuugul
ful Hebrews of this country have any
sympathy with this onslaught against the I
teaching of Christian principles In our j
public schools. T believe that nil this agi- j
tatiou originates with a few rabbis, who
are afraid of lesing their jobs by the pro- i
mulgation of Christian sentiment.
“Will the conservative and truly re
ligious Jews see their golden opportunity,
seize it and protest against the narrowness
of those who desire to trample on our
beneficent Chritlan Institutions? Will
they seize the opportunity to show the
breadth and beauty of the Jewish faith
by cooperating with the Christian forces
of America, aggressively taking their stand
to save our Christian Sunday, the only
practicable religious day for this coun
try

the times they would conform to our
