DEAN GROTON'S ADDRESS
' i Opens Scries of Lenten Sermons on
"The Uhrlstinn's Armor."
"Truth In tho glrdlo of tho Christian's
armor," Bald Dean William M. Oroton, of
the- Episcopal Divinity School of Phila
delphia, In the noonday Lenten sermon
at Old St. Peter's Episcopal Church to
day. This was tho flrst of a series of
, i Monday noon sermons which Dean Oroton
will deliver on "ino i;nnsuanH Armor.
"Tho filrdlo was an essential factor of
the armor of tho Roman legionary," Dcnn
Oroton said. "Tho Apostle Paul selects
truth as the glrdlo ot tho Christian s
armor. What does ho mean by truth?
i. Truth may mean tho rcnllty that lies out-
SluO UL ILBCXi, Ul ftl III.. llll-UM IIUIIUUI
jitss and sincerity ot character. St. Paul
means truth In tho latter sense. The Idea
Is that truthfulness of heart Is tho
Strength of a Christian's character.
"At flrst its possession means assur
ance in its possessor and tho confidence
of others In him. Second, possession In
volves tho exercise of truo candor not
merely In referonco to othors but to our-
selves in confessing our sins, nnd In ref
erence to God In the oxerclso of a full
trust In Him. Third, Its possession ro-
"veals itself In a lovo that Is helpful. Help
ful lovo is not Indulgence. Indulgence
betokens lack of strength of character
and begets tho samo lack In others."
PREACHER PLEADS FOR DEEDS
' It Is What Wo Do That Counts, Says
tho Rev. I. C. Hoffman.
"Our actions and not our protestations
determine what wo are," said the Rev. I.
Chantry Hoffman, In a Lenten sermon on
"Tho Christian's Creod," nt St. John's
Lutheran Church, Ttaco below Cth street,
at noon today. "What ono believes," ho
said, "limits his gTowth, for no man li
bigger than his thoughts. Tho Christian
belief 4s not only practical, but lasting
and helpful becauso it Is founded In
doctrine.
" 'What I believe Is the lot upon which
I build the houso of 'What I am' nnd of
What I do,' " continued the spoakcr.
"Thls was Illustrated by tho blessed Lord
Himself. Ho had n creed. Ho lived It.
This was the purposo of His coming Into
the -world; this Ho did whllo In the world.
Christ mado tho confession of His faith,
not In any formulated statement, but In
His teachings nnd his deeds. His creed
made His mission purposeful and power
ful. It sustained Him In all tho contra-
dictions of sinners, in His struggle with
Satan, In tho agony of Gothsemnne, In
His weariness pn tho way of sorrows, and
in His death on tho tree of the cross.
'We daro not confess that wo nro fig
'trees and then bring forth thorns. In
other words, creeds constrain and compel
consistent consecration. iThe repetition of
the clean nnd comprehensive creeds of the
church Is vanity If there bo no dolmr of
'what is confessed. Belief Is the basis of
, brotherhood. The Christian's creed makes
Wm one with God and with tho com
munion of Saints."

"Love for God" was tho subject of a
sermon delivered by tho Rev. J. O. S.
Huntington, O. H. C, at tho noon Lenten
services nt tho Gnrrlck Theatro today.
He emphasized tho fact that Cod exists
in everything and that wo cannot think
or do anything that Ho does not take
part in.
"No matter how much wo study, learn
nnd advance we ennnot know everything.
Complete knowledge Is only In God,"
said Father Huntington. "Men cannot
know the realm of truth because they
cannot know truth In Ito entirety. Benuty,
truth and knowledge are closely related
to God, for In order to understand these
subjects ono must have Infinite conception,
and only God possesses this."
NEW TRIAL IN BOY'S SUIT
AGAINST POLO PLAYER
Higher Court Holds John W.
Con-
verso for Runaway Horse.
Justice Frazer, of the Stato Supreme
Court, in an opinion handed down today,
holds that polo players must have the
ability to manage and prevent runaways.
This decision was handed down In tho
personal damage suit of John L. Douglas,
15 years old, against John W. Converse,
tho widely known polo player.
Five yeaj-a ago young Douglas was a
(spectator at a polo game In which Mr.
Converse was one of tho players. Dur
ing the game, tho ball was driven In
the direction of the Douglas boy's scat on
tho terrace. According to testimony, Mr,
Converse's pony dashed across the track,
knocked young Douglas down and tram
pled on him.
In tho lower courts tho suit to recover
damages was nonsuited. The higher court
reversed the Judgment of nonsuit and or
dered tho claim passed on by a Jury.

This is the Costello "fake" plf.n which provides for no elevated to
Darby, for no high-speed 'lines to tho Northwest, for no subway de
livery loop. Instead, a Frankford elevated lino running three miles
into farm lands undeveloped nnd unpopulated is offered, with no pro
vision for the abolition of tho obnoxious 8-ccnt exchange tickets and
no hopo for a universal straight 5-cent fare. Vague suggestion of
spurs toward Chestnut Hill and Olney are offered. No suggestion
is made as to how trains from four tracks on North Broad street will
be run on two tracks on South Broad street Passengers from 26
subway stations along Broad street will bo discharged into two
stations. The dotted lines indicate how vague is tho proposal. It
is to bo noted that the spur extending from Front street would
reach merely into a sparsely settled farming neighborhood.
