BURDETTE PREACHES
ON TOPIC Of FATHER
Pastor Uses for Illustration the Prince
Consort, and Shows Place in
Family and World Which
He Occupies
Pastor Robert J. Burdette of the
Temple Baptist church preached on the
topic, "The Prince Consort." taking for
his text Genesis 44:19: "Have ye a
father?"
"One of the common titles given to
the wife and mother is 'the queen of the
home,'" said Rev. Mr. Burdette. "'She
deserves it. It is hers as a birthright.
The tiniest baby girl alseep tonight
in her snowy little couch is a princess.
But did you ever hear father called
'the king of tffc home?' No wonder
you laugh at the suggestion. He is the
husband of the queen, the prince con
sort; one who is defined in the old dic
tionaries as 'a prince, who is the hus
band of a queen regnant, but who has
himself no royal authority.' ---
"Well, that will do for father. In
this position at least he Is secure. He
is absolutely Indispensable. Mother Im
plies father. When the skies rain roses
on mother, father is so close at her
side that he has to put up his umbrella
to avoid getting half her perquisites.
Every time a bouquet is thrown her
from the audience father has i" dodge.
When Cornelia, immortal Roman
matron, mother if the Gracchi, who also,
by the way, had a father, showed her
splendid boys to her aristocratic vis
itor, exclaiming, 'These are my jewels!'
the jeweler was governor of Spain un
der the titles of praetor, and proprae
tor, and a most humane and a .very
wise one; he was consul at Rome, he
was censor, a man renowned for his
great power of calming down internal
dissensions and his diplomatic abilities
in conciliating foreign enemies.
"Father was considerable of a man,
out in a crowd of many millions of Ro
mans, soldiers and statesmen. He
loomed up tall 'and majestic among the
tallest of them.' But the greatness of
the things father 'did.' beginning with
his gallantry at the siege of Carthage,
is overshadowed by something which
'mother said.'
"Cornelia is usually depicted with a
boy standing at either side of her.
There were an even dozen of them—and
one girl. And they all called Tiberius
Gracchus 'pater.' .
"Father does not figure very much in
sentimental literature, as an imper
sonality. I looked over a 'Book of
Quotations' to find something real
sweet and tender or heroic and splen
did about 'fatherhood' the other day.
A book of nearly a thousand pages. I
found one department devoted to
'Motherhood,' another to 'Wife,' and
father?—not one page, not a column
not one little section. I said, 'This book
must be edited by a suffragette.' But
no; J. K. Hoyt was a fair ■» minded,
painstaking, impartial man. A good j
editor. He simply couldn't find any
thing in literature about 'Fatherhood' I
worth printing. Nobody write 'Odes
to Father's Eyebrows.' Nobody sighs
to be a 'glove on father's hand, that he
might touch that cheek.'
"By the time mother's silver locks
are woven into a poem father's have
been woven Into the loom of time, and
it' you have a lock of his hair. In a
locket, it's more than father has on
his head. He Isn't often 'pretty.'
and when he is that's about all he is.
By the time he is 60 he has a chest
like a saucer and a waist like a tub.
There's no use trying to enter father in
a beauty show alongside of mother's
competition, You might as well enter
a Mexican dog in a cat show. But
somehow, he does manage to show up
fairly well in a free-fur-all exhibition of i
the human race." - ."._•_

Ministers in Three Los Angeles Pulpits
Make Sensational Attacks on Orthodoxy
CLERGYMAN SAYS
CHURCH MUST USE
SCIENCE METHODS
STATEMENT CAUSES STIR IN
BIG CONGREGATION
SPEAKER LATER ADHERES TO j
DECLARATION
Rev. Edward H. Brooks Arises and
Strongly Indorses Minister's State
ments—Other Pastors At
tack Dogmatism
"The day ha** gone by when a few en
thusiasts, propounding a few theological
dogmas, "ill lie able to sway or help
humanity. The church of the future
will have room for everything: that helps
humanity, and everything that opens the
human soul to the. possibilities of the
rare will find a place In Its creed, order
and thought. The church of the future
will exist for th* purpose of making;
human life what It ought to he, here and
now, Instead of forever telling people to
get ready to die, and it will substitute
he scientific, and living method for the'
traditional dogmatic and authoritative
mood.'* Rev. C. C. Tierce, Memorial
Baptist church.
EEV. C, C. PIERCE of the Memo
rial Baptist church startled his
congregation yesterday morning
by a vehement declaration against
orthodoxy.
"The old-time foe of all progress," he
said, "has been narrow, ignorant, self
sufficient, ' bigoted, exclusive, intoler-
ant and ungenerous orthodoxy."
Several persons in the congregation
arose, and for a moment it was unde
cided whether they intended to protest
or to approve, until Rev. Edward H.
Brooks arose and strongly commended
Rev. Mr. Pierces assertion.
"Preachers deliver too many ser
mons to those already Indoctrinated
with their views," Rev. Mr. Pierce
continued. "But changes are coming,
and coming rapidly. The serious as
pect of the question is, not how can WO
save the church, but how can we
save mankind. The time has gone by
when we can put a big wall about the
church and try to sen how many we
can fence out. Christian people must
cast aside old prejudices and acciden
tal differences."
When questioned about his sermon
yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr. Pierce
reiterated his statements regarding
orthodoxy, and declared that the fate
of the church hinged on its acceptance
of the scientific method. His sermon
was, in part, as follows:
The Church In the New Era
"Nothing is more fatal to life,
progress, development, then the belief
we have arrived at the end of the
truth. If the church has reached its
limit and has nothing more to learn
and no more truth to discover then it
is ready for the graveyard, and little
else. People of the same opinions re
peat their pet Ideas till they lose their
effect. Preachers deliver too many ser
mons to those already indoctrinated
with their views, and we all fear too
much that we shall be called on to
listen to something we have never
heard before.
"But changes are coming, and com
ing fast. As a lover of my kind, I am
interested In knowing what is to be
the work and the place of the church
! In the new era upon which we have
i already entered. The serious aspect of
the question ls not how can we save
the church, but how can we save man
kind. Man was not made for the
church, but the church was made for
mankind, and we are Interested in
knowing what church will best serve
humanity in the future. ■■■'"•_ .
"One thing is certain, and this is
that all who seek the advancement of
humanity must seek for a common
basis of action and service. The time
lias gone by when we can put a big
wall about the church and try to see
i how many we can fence out, but we
must try to find out how many there
are who 411 one way or another are
contributing to the progress of human
ity and seek to co-operate with them.
Points Out Danger
"One great danger of the past has
been that good people have failed to
recognise their allies. Christian peo
ple must cast aside old prejudices and
1 old accidental differences, and unite
I even where there cannot be agreement
lln all things. The old-time foe of all
! progress has been narrow, Ignorant,
I self-sufficient, bigoted, exclusive, intol
lereilt and ungenerous 'orthodoxy.
I "We must look on those about us:
we must listen to the messages of
those who speak, not to pick Maws and
detect weaknesses, but to find out how
j much of the truth they actually do
possess, even though they voice it In
different terms and manifest it in a
different way than we would choose.
"As to what is to be done with tho
Church in the new era, some will say
the church has fulfilled its mission and
there is no longer any use for It. There
seems to be a constantly growing num
ber who have apparently cast off the
church and Its claims. Some say that
What the church did In the past we arc
doing In a better way with other In
strumentalities. Many of the doc
trines and creeds of the church and
much of Its religious philosophy they
cast overboard wholesale. The church
was once the school teacher; today we
educate principally In the public and '
state schools. Once the church did
the charitable work: now-we do this
in a more general and systematic way.
Once the church furnished the amuse
ment; now the theaters and concert
halls do this much better.
"In fact many say that about every
thing that the church did in the past
is now being achieved in a better way
by other means. We are passing out
of the realm of the authoritative and
the traditional Into the scientific ago.
Everything today must stand the test
of Intellectual and rationalistic meth
ods. The basis of authority is being
re-examined and in many cases found
wanting.
New System Demanded
•Now no doubt the transforming
process has got to go a great deal far
ther than it has gone. We cannot cast
off all that is old, but we must recog
nize that the age demands much that
ls new. The church itself will not go.
Nothing is so entrenched In human so
ciety as its religion, and the expres
sion' of (that religion. There is noth
ing on earth that men would die for
today probably so unhesitatingly as
for their religion if they thought it was
to be taken from them. The church
of the future must minister to the en
tire man; it must harmonize all true

REV. C. C. PIERCE, MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH
"A religion that concerns itself with
Biblical exegesis and the discussion of
obsolete questions, to the exclusion of
the vital, pressing social questions of
today, should be classed as ragtime. A
religion thai serves as a clonk for re
spectability, to cover commercial vil
lainy, is the cheapest kind of all. All
religious teaching that appeals to the
cupidity or fear of the worshiper is
vulgar and unworthy.
"The right thinking man rejects all
these spurious brands of religion, and
demands a religion that is simple, eth
ical and altruistic, and that Is in har
mony with science and reason.*' —Rey-
nold K. Blight, minister of the Los An
geles Fellowship.
TALKS ON RAG.TIME IDEAS
INTRODUCED IN RELIGION
Reynold E. Blight, minister of the
Los Angeles Fellowship, spoke at Blan
chard hall yesterday morning on "Rag
Time Religion." He said:
"David Starr Jordan once said: 'That
is vulgar which is poor of its kind.
There is a kind of music called rag
time—vulgar music with catchy tunes
—catchy to those who do not know nor
care for things better. There are men
satisfied with rag-time music, with rag
time theaters," with rag-time politics.
with rag-time knowledge, and with rag
time religion.'
"What is rag-time religion? A re
ligion of superstition, veneration for
things that deserve no veneration, at
tachment of undue Importance to forms
and ceremonies. It is a religion of emo-
tlonalism. Emotion is a necessary part
of religious experience, but when it
predominates over reason, and leads
the devotee into all kinds of excesses,
It Is vulgar. Dogmatic religion, when
science and progress are subordinated
to authority and credulity, becomes
vulgar.
"A religion that concerns Itself with
Biblical exegesis and the discussion of
obsolete questions to the exclusion of
the vital, pressing, social questions of
today should be classed as rag-time.
A religion that serves as a cloak of
respectability to cover commercial vil
lainy Is the cheapest kind of all. Then
there is a snobbish kind of religion that
makes the church a social club, and dis
criminates against all but the snobby,
"All religious teaching that appeals
to the cupidity or fear of the worshiper
is vulgar: and all religion based on
selfishness Is unworthy.
"The right thinking man rejects all
these spurious brands of religion and
demands a religion that is simple, eth
ical, altruistic, full of aspirations and
inspirations, and is in harmony with
science and reason." ':,'
During the course of his address Mr.
Blight read a recent editorial from The
Herald entitled "Mendacious Threats,"
and highly commended it.

SAYS COMBATING OF EVIL
IS LITE'S GREATEST PROBLEM
"The problem of human life, past
and present, is how to combat or con
trol or master evil,' Bald Mrs. Lucie
Beckham Stevens at Blanchard .Music
hall yesterday afternoon.
"Evil originated with the breaking of
law, and its elimination can only bo
accomplished through keeping the law
that makes for natural growth and de-
velopment,
"To rise superior to evil we must
build a soul armor through self-puri
fication. Evil In all its forms lurks In
the human atmosphere ready to con
nect with every error In the nature
through the law of attraction, If the
individual could for a moment realize
the happiness and freedom as well as
all around development that may come
to one Independent of the vibrations of
evil he would rise and conquer his
weaknesses. The beat of us are far
from self-possessed. So long as one
error remains In the character you aro
cheated out of the full reward that
your other conquests have earned. The
only foundation for spirituality is
character building, and spirituality
should be the goal of human effort."

men and women Into one great body
for the service of humanity; it must in
free and leave all Its adherents free;
it must put a premium on Intelligent
rather than on traditional cant and
sanctimonious formalism; it must be
fraternal in spirit, sunny In disposition
and practical in the application of its
theories. The day has gone by when
a few enthusiasts propounding a few
theological dogmas will be able to
sway or help humanity. The church
of the future will have room for every
thing that helps humanity, and every
thing that opens the human soul to the
possibilities Of the race will find a
place In Its creed, order and thought.
The church of the future will exist for
the purpose of making human life
what it ought to be here and now, in
stead of forever telling people to get
ready to die, and it will substitute the
scientific and inspirational and living
method for the traditional, dogmatic
and authoritative method. And, above
all, it will show mankind that there is
something that cannot be ministered
to by the mere accumulation of ma
terial things, that the spiritual ele
ment In life is dominant and supreme
and that a 'man's life consisteth not in
the abundance of the things which he
possesseth.' " |
"People have always been trying to
find a set of dogmatic rules that would
relieve them of the necessity of acting
on their own respon. It cannot
be done. Mr are forever thrown back
upon our own responsibility and com
pelled to use our own intelligence.
"Can we follow Jesus? If by this is
meant, 'Can we deduce, from his teach
ings a set of rules by which we can
regulate our conduct and be sure we are
right in every Instance?* No. We can
neither follow Jesus nor anyone else,
nnd to seek for such a leader Is to be
little ourselves and to belittle Him."—
Rev, K. Stanton Hodgin, Fret Unitarian
church. ________________^^^^^
CLERGYMAN SAYS SAVIOR
CANNOT BE FOLLOWED
"When we read the sermon on the
mount we are puzzled by such portions
as the following: 'Resist not him that
is evil; but whosoever smlteth thee on
the right cheek turn to him the other.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go
with him a mile go with him twain.
And if any man will sue thee at the
law and take away thy coat let him
have thy cloak also. Give to him that
askelh thee and from him that would
borrow turn thou not away. Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you and pray
for them that despitefully use you and
persecute you. Be ye perfect, even as
your Father in heaven is perfect," said
Rev. E. Stanton Hodgin at the First
Unitarian church yesteiday.
"We are sure to be told that these
teachings of Jesus are impractical, that
no one .'an follow them and live. That
depends on the way we interpret them;
if we regard these teachings as hard
and fast rules of life we shall encoun
ter serious difficulty at once.
"Either extreme is the attitude of a
small mind.
Not Forced to Extremes
"But if we read these utterances not
as hard and fast rules of conduct but
tor the sentiment they express, then
we are forced to neither extreme. They
appeal to all that Is noblest, purest
and truest in our natures, and in pro
portion as we incorporate this senti
ment Into our own lives do we become
superior men and women.
"The great spiritual Teacher consid
ers only the motive in the hearts of
men. He aims only at the disposition,
only to 'nfluence the will or desire.
"Of course we can't do whatever any
irresponsible creature chances In ask
of us. But that is an entirely different
matter. We can have the disposition
or the desire iii our hearts to do what
ever he may ask of us If it should be
found wise to do so, or to do anything
else in our power whether we be asked
to do ii or not. That is all Jesus or
any other teacher ever demanded or
ever could demand of any one— ren
der unselfish service with love and
gladness whenever an wherever there
was demand for*, it.
Not Creature of Sentiment
"I heat* a ring at my door-bell. I go
to the door and there stands a poor.
; dissipated, broken-down creature who
: asks me for money. it I am what 1
ought to be my whole being will go out
1 to that poor fellow In a desire to serve
him. My disposition should be to empty
my pockets at his feet. I am not what
I ought to be unless I do feel, just that
way. Bui 1 am a fool and ought to
be taken In charge by the authorities
It l obey that impulse. I am not tit to
he running at large unless, In addition
to my noble, generous and unselfish
Impulses, I have the power to control
them. I am not simply a creature of
sentiment. I have an Intelligence as
well, which Is quite as divine and which
must be satisfied also. My intelligence
at once sits in Judgment on my im
pulses, as it should do, and says:
•What will bo the effect of your giving
upon the character of this man? What
will be its effect upon society.' What
win be its effect upon the members of
your own family, for whom you are
primarily responsible?' l must not
only have noble sentiments, but they
must pass the censorship of my high
jest intelligence before they issue in
, action,
Cannot Follow Jesus
••Can we follow Jesus? If by this it
is meant, 'Can we deduce from his
teachings a set of rules by which we
can regulate our conduct and bo sure
we are right in every instance?' No,
we can neither follow Jesus nor any
one else, and to seek for such a leader
is to belittle ourselves and to belittle
him If by following Jesus we mean,
•Can we find in his teachings certain
principles of life which will reinforce,
purify and ennoble our dispositions if
we approach them in the.right spirit,
that will make us brave and courag
eous In lacing difficulties.' yes. we can
follow Jesus and we do follow him
every time we aspire to anything
higher than that which we have at
tained."
