SEES HOPE FOR FUTURE IN IDEALS

UNITARIAN DEFENDS MEN AT HEAD OF BIG TRUSTS

CALLS MERCILESS ENERGY A

PERVERTED IDEALISM

Believes That Time and Change with Crowing Culture Will Blot Out the Present Evils

In his sermon on "Standards of Art and Religion" at the First Unitarian church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. E. Stanton Hodgln, said: "The criticism most persistently directed against America is to the effect that we have no Idealism—that we are wholly sordid and the scramble for wealth crowds down and destroys everything else, l believe that underneath and Inspiring all this rage for wealth is a genuine idealism that will in time issue in a higher life than anything Europe can produce. The thing that has put our captains of industry w. re they are today, leaders in every activity and that makes them such a menace, Is not their sordldness but their Idealism. The artist begins his picture; it grows as he works; he sees constantly greater possibilities In it; he carries it with him in his mind wherever he goes, It is his life. This picture suggests to him another and greater one and the only thing that can take him away from the first one is the call of a second and he is thus drawn forever on *>y his Idealism— his artistic passion. Can you persuade that man that lt is time for him to : top—to throw away his brush and paint no more, to spend the remainder .•I" his .lavs in the leisure enjoyment of What he has achieved? Not if he Is a true artist. H.s Ideal forever calls him back to his studio. He must fellow it. It is his only joy. ... "There Is as much opportunity for idealism and artistic passion in a railroad system or in a great business enterprise as in a picture. It grows under the promoter's hand as the picture does under the artist's brush. It is never complete. Each achievement calls In-.- something more and calls for it. more Imperatively. Once a man realizes that he has power to build successfully and the passion draws him on and on an.l he can no more quit than the artist can lay down his brush. "The artist In the intensity of his passion is frequently thoughtless and careless of the rights and Interests of others and sacrifices them in the most heartless manner. Much of the apparent ruthlessness of our captains of Industry in crushing out competition and stamping out whatever gets in their way Is due to this same cause. They are so intense in their purpose to complete and round out their system that anything that opposes them is relentlessly destroyed. "It Is not sordldness nor vlciousness, but is a perverted Idealism. This it seems to me should give us great hope for the future. Once the ethical and spiritual element can be sufficiently Injected into this ideal it will become the greatest of all forces for good. Americans are really the least sordid of people. They are the least given to the hoarding propensity. They care little for money fur Its own sake. They readily respond to benevolent and philnmthropic appeals. It Is because our idealism has been thus far occupied so exclusively with materia] achievement that it appears sordid. There is nothing so easily remedied as the evils of misdirected Idealism. The passion for material achievement may speedilypass over to a mission for social service. We can see this change taking place under our eyes today. Never before has there been so much earnest effort put both In the cause of justice and in the endeavor to make life worth while to all sorts nnd conditions of people. Our captains of industry are responding to the new euthusiasm aS We'll as the old. "The passion for material achievement is still dominant, they push on in the rounding out of their schemes, crushing everything that opposes them with relentless energy, but at li" same time they are spending their millions in altruistic services in fostering the higher Idealism through educational nnd cultural channels Of course it Is easy to say that these philanthropies are simply" hush money, attempts to purchase Immunity and respectability. It would be much nearer the truth to see in it this double Idealism, and to confidently expect the nobler Idealism to soon triumph nod tin- reign of a better day be at hand."

McRAE ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A.

A large number of members of the ■ Los Angeles Young Men's Christian association gathered yesterday afternoon at the building to hear Milton A. Mcßae speak on the young man of ! today and his chances for success. "Success cannot be measured in dollars and cents, neither can it be estimated by the position in life a man . holds," declared lie former head "i the Scripps-Mcßae. newspaper league. ' "Whether a young man succeeds," he continued, "depends not on his capa- . bilities so much as on his character. What the world calls failure' often Is really -i success. Sin. consists In the climb." . Mr. Mcßae illustrated his lecture by many personal experiences.

'NEED NO NEW GOD' SAYS REV. DR. LOCKE

Methodist Pastor Says That Neither Science Nor Philosophy Can Take Place of Chris. tianity

Dr. Charles Edward Locke occupied bis pulpit as usual at the First Methodist Episcopal Church and preached in the morning on the subject, 'Does the World Need a New God?" Text. "Other foundations can no man lay then is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

I Corinthians, 3, _.'. Dr. Locke said in part:

"On the battlefields, when truth and error have met in hand to hand conflict, the God of the Bible has sooner or later prevailed. At Marathon, at Waterloo and at Gettysburg the ''."■! of truth, concealed behind the black clouds of war, has given victory to the truth which conquers and defeats the error which cannot live.

"Men in their quest for other gods have bowed before the golden calf and before the Idols of fame. They have sought t.i find a god in unbelief. A blatant unbeliever a few years ago asked sarcastically, 'Did anyone ever see God?' What moral imbecility! Did anyone ever see love? Yet who but knows it Is the greatest thing In the world?

"Nor do men succeed any better when they seek for shrine-- of worship in philosophy. The Stoics and Epicureans proved long ago that philosophy could not redeem and comfort ■> world. Marcus Aurelius, after labor in vain to find a god in philosophy, had placed upon bis tomb, 'All hope abandon, ye who enter here!' John Stuart Mill, after a fruitless search in the same direction, wrote his epitaph in a similar sentiment, 'Most unhappy.' "As a substitute for Jehovah, men have bowed at altars of science, hoping there to find a god. But when Tyndall, and afterward Pasteur, proved that the spontaneous generation of life out of dead matter was a myth, then the stronghold of atheism was overthrown. Then men rushed to the refuge of materialistic evolution, only to find that all evolution leads to the throne of tin- Infinite and substantiates the first verse of the Bible, 'In the beginning, God.

"Thus do men who have sought for either gods vindicate the God of the Bible. The world does not need another God —it can nowhere tind a God like Jehovah. Our God Is a God of common sense, and any Interpretation of scripture that Is not common sense may he certain to be a misunderstanding of the Bible. He is a God of justice and mercy, and not a cruel avenger; he Is a God of wisdom and truth and of benevolence. A great Infidel once asked, 'Why did not God make health catching?' Science answers by saying that is exactly what the Creator .lie! do, and emphasizes it In tha doctrine of the survival of the fittest. Sin is death, while goodness is life.

"In the presence of these majestic truths the new religion of the old gentleman at Harvard sound- like the vapid muttering- of pitiable senility, as he offers to humanity 'a liberal education five feet long and a • ■■.. religion three feet long.' Dr. Bitot's pragmatism is not a religion and will not survice one winter's bitter storms." Dr. Locke announced that his subject for next Sunday night would be "The Truth About Heaven: Where Is It? shall We Know Each Other?"

NEW PASTOR DUE SUNDAY

Yesterday was the last Sunday before the appearance of Dr, J. Whiteomb Brougher, the new pastor of the Temple Baptist church. The pulpit was occupied In,the morning by Rev. A. W. Rider, the I'm ill,, district secretary of the American Baptist Missionary union. His subject was "The Mind of Christ, tin- World's Master Mind."

SAYS LEE DESERVES PLACE IN PANTHEON

Fellowship Minister Declares That Those Who Protest Against Statue in Capital Have Yellow Streak

In a prelude to his regular address yesterday morning in Blanchard hall, Reynold E. Blight, minister of the Los Angeles Fellowship, commented it""ii the question, "Shall the statue of Robert !■:. Lee be placed in the capitol at Washington?"

"Each state has been requested to erect In the rotunda of the capitol the statues of two of its most illustrious sons. Virginia chose Washington and _L.cc. From certain quarters In the north have come protests against Lee's statu.'. Such protests can come only from men who are entirely out of harmony with the times, and who have l.'. 11 marking time- for forty years," declared the speaker. •'I. the statue stand as a proof that the horrid wound made by the Civil war is healed. If the south erred she has suffered. God knows she lias drunk the cup of anguish to Its dregs. If she was guilty of a crime, punishment in full measure has been exacted. The north can afford to be magnanimous. Robert E. Lee was a brave, hearted, chivalrous soldier. Brave men honor brave men at all times, and only a man with a yellow streak, utterly unworthy to be a conqueror, will hold animosity and' petty spite .when the enemy has been brought to his knees. Thank God the bloody chasm is closed, flic sons of ' Confederates and the suns of Yankees have buried the hatreds of the past and are uniting In a splendid effort to make their common country great and glorious. "We can well afford to lift Robert E. Lee to a place In our national pantheon. Whatever criticism we may make of his action In refusing Lincoln's offer of the generalship of the northern armies and his leadership In th.- confederacy, we must acknowledge that he was prompted solely by what seemed to him the highest patriotism. He embraced the cause of the south from no motive of selfish advancement or personal prejudice, but at the dictates of conscience. He lived to se.' the error of judgment, but his purpose was pure. ( „ , , "Future generations will exalt litert E. Lee as a man of pure character, tender sympathy and disinterested public service. The south loved him for his sterling manhood and his charm of manner. He - represented the ' best type of southern chivalry, and all the grace and courtliness of the southern spirit flowered in him. All America ay well be proud to say, 'Robert E. Lee is an American hero, an American ideal.' Well may we-hold him up before our children as an example of all that is best and truest In manhood. Let England present her Gladstone, let France present her Lafayette, for our earlier civilization let us present the peerless Washington. Por our midcentury glory let the north point to her Lincoln, and the south, with tenderness akin to tears, present as knightly a soldier as ever drew a sword, as courtly a gentleman as ever walked In senate or in university, as true-hearted a man as ever looked with level gaze Into the eyes of his fellows, Robert E. Lee; and let all the nation rejoice that he may be claimed as an American." "The Conquest of Fate" was the subject of the regular address by Mr. Blight. _

ART IS RELIGION WITHOUT STANDARDS

A. Montgomery, "Farmer.Painter," Presents His Views from First Presbyterian Church Pulpit

A. Montgomery, known as the "farm-er-painter," an old friend of Rev. Dr. W. A. Hunter, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, occupied the church pulpit last evening and gave an address on "Religion in Art." He said in part: "Art puts a premium on character, for history is cHaracter doing things. Art has its seat in the emotions and, resolved to the last analysis, is a deeply religious and living thing. Americans me-, for the most part, willfully dilettante on art because men in eminent authority will give over their judgment in art without a tremor. "There are no standards of Judgments that are absolute because art, like nature, runs and flows—and this is a world of news. Art always has the first word an.i, like the fair sex, she always will have the last word.

"Great art is indigenous with Ideas and acts and is the flower of civilization. Ait, civilization and education have come to mean the same things to thinkers and students. Men and books and paintings are not to bo compared, hut are to be heard and read and seen. The world has been following blindly, a fallacy in regard to talent and genius, It does not take talent and genius to paint. It takes paint."

ALTAR SOCIETY RETREAT

A retreat for the Altar society and sodality of the Immaculate Conception was opened last night at the Holy cross church with a solemn vesper service at which Rev. P. McLaughlin of Hanford preached the sermon from the subject, "Think of Thy Last End and Thou Shalt Never Sin."

Tho two societies will elect Officers during the retreat.

MEET AT POMONA

Contest for Free Ticket to San Jose Is Awarded to the Boyle Heights Presbyterian Union

The Los Angeles city -intermediate Christian Endeavor union assembled in a rousing rally yesterday afternoon at the First United Presbyterian church, Ninth and Figueroa streets.

Miss Winfield Skinner, former state superintendent of intermediate work, spoke on "Intermediate Possibilities." She said in part: •'Let us take an airship night from Los Angeles toward the mountains in the direction of Mt, Lowe. We guide for that point and when arriving there look beyond and higher and seeing at a little distanc. an object like a cloud at first, but as we progress, instead, we find we approach the San Jacinto mountains. "And so it is In our Intermediate Christian Endeavor union possibilities. We ie,,. always looking higher and serin-- something encouraging ahead. "We must be persistent in our efforts and obedient in small tilings as well as the larger ones. We are too much inclined to wait for the big noises to be heard in storms and tumults instead of listening to the still small voice ami the precepts of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. "Let us prayerfully meet the possibilities thai are before us which seem to 1..- the greatest that can be bestowed on any organization." Paul Brown, state field secretary, spoke on "Intermediate Determination," which was followed by an announcement of the county convention to be held in Pomona, by Arthur J. Gutter, president of the county Christian Endeavor union. The contest for a free ticket to the San Jose convention on attendance points for a' limited ti:.-.e, fell to the Boyle Heights Presbyterian union.
