"Job, ins THere was a mart In the
lfind of V whose name ftaa Job, Mid
that rnah was perfect and one that
ftrtrtd tied anfl hated avll.' That verso
Btes us the greatest possible certificate,
of olraracter. Not only greatest In what
Is aa(4 there, but language cannot ex
perts more. It declares, that Job wa per
fects In other word, that nothing could
be added. When that was said all had
fcern eald that speech could say.
Perfect man means an Ai, n 21-knra.t
proposition, nhd then some. That's the
"kind of- man God tells Us Job was. He
WAS perfect In character nothing mora
cvtild be eald of on angel. Mo was per
fect when" nfeasured by the highest stand
ard Qod's standard of perfection lie
wa White In the light of heaven, This
curtlflckto ot character, Is the greatest
tli t cotild be made and from the hlitht
possible source. When the lord makes
ti n statement It means that Job JUst
stilted God. The nil-seeing eye of tho
lrd did not tlnd one. single llav In his
m ko-up, It was the MrSt time )n sacred
ll lory that God could look throughout
the land Of Vz and And one He could
trust, one He could admire, one He could
re Ommend and Indorse. I would rather
bft perfect In tho sight of God than have
all that the world can give of wealth, of
pleasure or of honor,
' Think of the hope and Inspiration this
Is to its, meditating upon the declaration
that tiod made about Job, If Job could
please God and become perfect In Ills
slant, why cannot you? I hope to do It
To know that it Is possible for one man
to please God Is to know nny one who
lives may do the same thing.
NO MAN PERFECT.
'The Bible docs not say that Job was
perfect In the sight of man he was per
fect In the sight of God. If I thought I
had to please everybody or miss heaven,
I'd simply have to throw up the sponge,
If would be impossible. If Job had to be
pVrfect In tho sight of his neighbors ho
wbuld never wear a crown. There's not
ono of us who could please all the
people for even one week If our lives de
pended upon it. There's hardly a man
who would bo perfect In tho sight of htfl
V.lfe for three days.
"Tho humblest can pleaBe God If they
are earnest 'and do their very best. It's
a thousand times easier to please God
than our neighbors. Tho reason Is God
Knows everything about It, while our inti
mate friends know very little.
"Our friends Judge us by what they
vant to do or would do If they had tho
power. Hiiman vision stops nt the sur
face. God looks at tho heart. Many
people measure God, but deny His meas
urement ot them. ,
" 'Thqre was a man In the land of Hz.'
I'bn't know an thing about the land of
T'i Wish r did; but I'll tell you whnt
I think nbout It I have an Idea that It
Was a hard place for a man to be per
fect. I often meet people who think re
ligion Is sort of a matter of geography,
tljat their state of graco depends upon
the State they may live In. There nre
nwn In Denver who think they rould be
Bpod Christians In Kansas: there nre men
In Kansas who think they could be good
Christians In California. I heard of n
man who went to camp meeting and
shouted Until he actually frightened the
people, Think of people becoming fright
ened at a. redhot camp meeting.
"If Job could please God In the land of
itz, I believe It Is possible for nny Chris
tian; to do so, wherever their lot may bo
providentially cast. The man who has to
Ie In a. revival to be happy there's n,
leak somewhere In his faith. Doubts are
leaks that will sink the ship of faith.
PRAISE THE GOOD.
"'There was a man In the land of Uz,
nnd his name was Job.' Have you
noticed whenever tho Bible says some
thing good about a man It generally gives
the name, and If nothing but evil can be
said of him the name Is withheld? Wo
know the name of the poor beggar at the
rich man'a gate, but we do not know the
name of the rich man. There's something
here that we should think1 of and ponder
over in our mind. If you know anything
good about any one, tell It out.
"For still another reason I am glad
Job's name has been given us in connec
tion with this Btory of his trial. His ex
perience has been a great blessing and
help to me. I want to tell Job when I get
to heaven, nnd I'm glnd to have his name
so that I can call for him. I want to take
a walk with him and have him All out
any gaps In the story. I want to ask him
a few questions about some things over
which I have teen curious. I want to ask
him how ho felt when tho messengers ar
rived bringing tho bad news; I want to
JUk him if he didn't And it easier to endure-
bolls than the taunts and insinua
tions ot his frjends.
"Talk about the world growing better!
When you can show me a man with a
character better than Job had, according
to God's shpwing, H bo ready to believe
It Th'ere is hardly any one of us who
hasn't tho advantage of Job in many
ways. Think what little help he had to be
a good man compared to what we have.
The Book of Job is admitted to be tho
oldest writing In existence, yet away back
in those misty days we And a man who
puts us to shame. J
" That man was perfect and upright.
God said so. The trouble with a good
many Is that they are lop-sided, bow
legged and crosseyed. They scatter all
over: they never get anywhere.
" "He feared God and hated evil.' This
eeems that he trusted God that he be
haved himself. How soon we could make
thU old world like Heaven If we all did
that. Trust God and behave yourself Is
simply another way of saying Thou
Bbatt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy mind, and thy
neighbor as. thyself.'
BOJUE PEOPLE WORK AT GOODNES3
SHOUT TIME.
'Jpb pever stopped fpr holidays. He
behaved himself 265 days in the year. One
reason why s,ome people And it so hard
to behave Is because they only work at
it a few minutes at a time. If you did
ymr fersuthine the name way you, would
have been dead and forgotten long ago.
"Job was an upright man. This means
that he bad an honesty that could stand
the light of Heaven.
"Job had a character that stood out Ilka

Job couLto be trusted.
I "The devil himself has declared tho
Christian life the safest, the best and tho 1
most profitable. Listen to this: 'Hast 1
thou not made An hedge about him nnd
his house, and about all that he hath on
evory side? Thou hast blessea the work
of his hands, his substance has Increased
In, the land." Gpd didn't nave to try an
experiment witn jou 10 una out wnciner
he could be trusted or not. He knew
him as well before Ills trials as after
ward. God knew that Job would stand,
no matter where He put him, God know
nil along that the devil was a liar. God
said, 'Ho Is In thy hand, you may take
away his property, di whit you will with
him, but don't touch him.'
"If the deyll wa. u si glad h6 must
have felt like shouting when he heard
that ho was to have a chanco to peel,
slash and do what he pleased. He could
slap tho sheep, the pxen and children.
Before tliiU time lie could not havo robbed
the smallest lamb from the flock. If
there was; ovor Joy In hell they must have
been hilarious. The devil no doubt be
lieved that Job would become ono of tho
best captains In his nrmy. He started
out to make short work of pence ot tho
grand old servant. Speedily held council
o( wnr, campaign wob planned. They
were to take possession of tho servants
and All their mouths with lies.
"But through all of his affliction It was
his faith that saved Job his absolute
and unswerving fnlth In God. It sus
stnlned lilm In the darkeBt hour of his
trial Just as It sustains every Christian
today In. the tlmo of trial. It was based
on nn experimental knowledge of God.
"Listen to Job, as ho snys: 'I know that
my Redeemer Ilveth.' This man knew of
something thnt will give peace and rest
something that would uphold him when
the mountains seem falling Into the sea.
JOB HAD FAITH.
. "First result of Job's trial was a better
'experience. Knew God better, understood
His power more fully. Job had more
power in prayer. When hte threo self
righteous friends saw how patiently ho
endured his suffering they got under con
viction. The prayers of Job also prevailed
for them. Job had more attractive power
than over. We are told how great were
his posserelons. He was given great
wealth, everything was doubled; he had
H,000 sheep,' 6CO0 bamels, IOOO yoke of oxen,
1000 she asses. He had 10 children, hla
life Vns 'extended HO years. 'With long
life will I satisfy him.' Tho best result
Is that the nccount of Job'a trials made
one of the books of the Bible, bo his ex
perience became a light to millions of oth
ers, to nations and peoples who had no
existence then. Not a single tear that he
shed was lost. God caught up overv one
and transmuted' them Into Imperishable
Jewels. Job's trial was made the means
of multitudes knowing God better, of un
derstanding the meaning of aflllctton bet
tci "Then tnut In Ood, thro all thy days,
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand!
Tlio dark thy nay. still ilns and pralw,
Sometime, sometime, we'll understand."
RACIAL ANTIPATHIES
THEME OF LIBERALS
"Sunaay Schools "Accentuate
Race Hatred," Declares Prof.
Daniel Evans.
"The Sunday schools today accentuate
race hatred between the Jqws and the
Christans In the way they teach the
story of the Crucifixion."
Professor Daniel Evans, of Andover
Theological Seminary, Cambridge, Mass.,
made this statement today In an address
before the .Congress of the National Fed
eration of Religious Liberals In session
at the Friends' Meeting House, loth and
Race streets.
Professor Evans was discussing the his
torical aspect of race antipathy. He told
a story of a little girl who' began to hate
a 'Jewish boy after she heard of the
crucifixion. Professor Kvans then went
on to gay that no race had a monopoly ot
good qualities, and asserted sclenco
proved that no one race la inferior to an
other. "Itace antipathy," he said, "Is an organic
animal level, and is not on a distinctive
rational human level. War and suspicion
are life's first business on this lower
level."
The public schools came in for severe
criticism from Prof. Franz Boas, of Co
lumbia University, who said: "The public
schools accentuate race qnd national
prejudice and place an emphasis on emo
tional values. One of the first things
to be done to bring1 about friendship and
sympathy between rac?s and nations is
to moUlty tlje teaching of ,tiu schools."
In speaking on "Ilaqe Antipathies From
a Scientific Standpoint,' he sold: "The
great nations of Europe were compelled
by circumstances 'and impelled by emo-'
tlon to take certain action which they
thought Inevitable.
"After taking such actions they stopped
and considered what they had done. They
explained their own deeds to their own
satisfaction. We have a. similar condi
tion here In politics. A man la "a Republi
can or a Democrat because his father
was one,
"If only tho nations would realize that
there is a. national feeling and spirit,
that it Is futile if not criminal to impose
the feelings of one nation on the other,
then a great barrier would be removed
from the .path of international friend
ship." The meeting Is the fifth since Sunday
in connection with the Congress of the
National Federation of Religious Liberals,
held for the purpose of promoting relig
ious life by "united testimony for sin
cerity, freedom and progress In religion t
by social service and 9 fellowship of the
spirit beyond the lines of sect and creed,"
Although there were nq services in
connection with the congress this after
noon, the Rev. Charles & St. John, pastor
of the first Unitarian Church, enter
tained about 20 Unitarian ministers at a
noonday luncheon at his, home. The Rev
pr Samuel A. Eliot, of Boston, one of
the leiders Jn the congress, was the
guest pf honor. Later tb't Afternoon a
reception was given those attending the
meetings In the clover room of the Belle-vue-6tratford.

BOY SCOUTS WHO TOOK PART IN GREAT INDIAN BATTLE
Tho picture shows one of tho Scout troops about to (jet into action wllh n band of "Redskins" near Had-
donfleld, N. J., yesterday.
Messengers Outwit Indinns
Philadelphia Is saved from the Indians
and may breathe more easily today.
One hundred nnd seventy messengers,
bearing urgent appeals for help against
tho Redskins, outwitted tho braves Who
Intercepted them in tho broken country
south of Haddonfleld, N. J yesterday.
Enough of the fleet-footed scouts worked
their way through tho flics of the enemy
to assuro victory for the palefaces.
It was the annual Washington's Birth
day celebration of tho Philadelphia Boy
Scouts. More than 1T0Q scouts, tho largest
number ever present In a mass game, took
part In the Indian hunt.
Tho messengers won by a narrow mar
gin, a margin so narrow that, because
no ofllclal count of points was Issued,
many ot tho Indians nnd their "rooters"
believe that the messengers wore de
feated But the deeds of valor performed
by more than a scoro of messengers leave
no doubt thnt they won.
The messengers, two picked Bcouts from
each troop participating, were quietly
slipped over to Camden on tho ferry at
8:30 a. m., taken to Haddonfleld by trolley
and from there transported In wagons to
tho Mcdford pike, between Glbbsboro ana
Kresson, nbout six miles from Haddon
fleld. Here they were dispatched through
uoodod section, each' bearing a mes
Jiitfe to bo delivered at a deserted house
en the Berlin pike not far from Hnddon
fleld. They wore In chargo of Samuel G,
Friedman, chairman ,of the Scoutmas
ters' Committee; Walter S. Cow Inc. scout
executive: Dr Francis B. Hitchcock,
scoutmaster of Troop 9G, nnd Orlando
Crease, Jr., scoutmaster of Troop 90, who
were met In Haddonfleld by tho New Jer
sey scout officials, H H. Etter, special
field commissioner of Gloucester County;
L. R. Dobbs, special field commissioner
of Camden County; J. E Murdoch, special
field commissioner of Burlington County,
and H. R. Roncy, scoutmaster of Haddon
fleld Troop 1.
Sixteen hundred Indians left Philadel
phia imder J. W. Patton. deputy scout
commissioner; George S. Dayton, scout
mastor of Troop 80, and other scoutmas
ters, at !) 30 a m , and were turned loose
on the warpath at Haddonfleld shortly
after 10 o'clock.
Tho triangular section of country
bounded bv the Berlin and Medford pikes
and the Kresson road at once became
the scene of combats of brain and brawn
between the messengers and the Indians.
Thicket nnd marsh, field and forest wore
filled with bands of searching Indians
and crouchln? messengers, while tho
roads bounding tho field of operation were
patroled by automobiles and troops of
New Jersey scouts.
Tho first messenger to mako his way
throutfh tho Indians was Robert Boyle,
of Troop 96, who delivered his message
at the house, on the farm of Charles C.
Stafford, at 12:15 p. m. He ran every
step of the six miles and was pot mo
lested. One minute later his troop mate.
Glen Lowe, appeared at the house with
Ms message. Wandering Indians In the
meantime came In the vicinity of the
house, nnd It was not until 1:05 o'clock
that five messengers In a body eluded
the en?my nnd escaped In safety. They
were scouts Blddle and Keller, of Troop
112; Ypager and Parker, of Troop 27, and
Bowman of Troop 112.
The other messengers who were suc
cessful, and the time of their arrival nt
the house, were: Scouts Ferguson, of
Tronn U', 1-15 p m Sh'ekman, of Troop
12, 1:25 p. m. ; Sampson, of Troop 6, 2:30
P m.; Whittle, of Troop 3, 2M3 p. m.;
Patterson, of Troop 60 2:43 p. in., and .An
derson, of Troop CO, 2:C8 p. m. All the
other messengers wero cither captured or
driven to cover.
William Munz. 16 years old, of Troop 77,
was tho first Indian to capture a mes-
PIT KING SCOUTS CHARGE
OF CONSPIRACY IN WHEAT
C. H. Canby Says High Prices Are
Due to Economic Laws.
NRW YORK, Feb. 23.-"You can't
monkey with economlo law," said C. H.
Cnhby, president of the Chicago Board of
Trade, at the Waldorf-Astoria, today,
"People have tried it, but never with nny
success,"
His explanation, threshed to fundament
als, Is that the price of wheat has risen
because many nations ot the world, as
the result of tho European war, are seek
IPS' American wheat and the law of sup
ply and demand is Inexorable.
Mr, Canby believes, he says, that Inves
tigators are on the wrong track If they
aie looking for combinations or conspira
tors to account for the high price of
bread. He la sure the speculation has
nothing to do with the soaring of wheat
prices, as speculators are as much upset
by uncertain conditions due to the war as
men in other lines of business and are
timid about the future.
"What the country needs to look out
for," he said, "is pot the high cost of
wheat, but the cost of foodstuffs.
"Don't let the farmer think that you
don't want htm to get more than 60 cents
a bushel for his wheat. What would hap
pen if he stiould decide, because It didn't
pay to raise In puch targe quantities, to
cut down bis acreage? The price would
go sky high "

the white armband which designated
the scouts. His victim was 13-year-old
Thomas lies, of Troop 62, whim he
"scalped" under n bridge after a hard
struggle, In which both wero covered
w(th mud.
Indians Captured, Too
But tho Indians were not the only cap
tors. Tho messengers captured more than
200 redskins and "scalped" them, too, by
taking away their red and green arm
bands.
Michael Cnplln, of Troop 95, dlstln
gulshcd himself by "scalping" 14 stray
Indians who attempted to capture him.
Exhausted by his strenuous efforts, he
wns surrounded nnd captured, losing his
own "scalp" In addition to those he had
captured. Ho was then assisted to field
headquarters by his captors. Scouts
Rhodes, Troop 59, captured 13 Indians and
likewise fell prey to tliflr orotner war
riors; Scout Harry Lower, Troop 134,
had 11 Indian "scalps" when he was made
prisoner; Scout Thompson, Troop 19, had
11 "scalps," and Scout Bowes. Troop 128,
had 6.
Bugles blowing "assembly" at 3 o'clock
summoned the scouts messengers and In
diansto field hendqunrters at tho Had
don Gun Club, where 1S0O "hot dogs," the
same number of rolls and 60 gallons of
hot cocoa were wnltlng. Louis Shot
ridge, a real Indian of the Tllnget tribe,
from Chllkat, Alaska, addressed the
scouts on woodcraft and what Indian
bos must endure to become flrst-class
woodsmen.
Two hundred scouts, captured Indians
nnd messengers, who returned to field
headquarters early, wero sent on a
"trail" laid by Scout Executive Cowing
to spend the time until the end of the
game. A compass point directed them to
a thumb-tack'ed maplo tree, from which
a deer trail led through tho forest. From
a woodsman's method of obserVjiftbrf they
discovered where tho deer wis" first
sighted and shot at. the character of the
guns, the number of men In theCKuhtlng
party, the wounding of the deer, the trail
of blood (red paint), tho wounded animal's
wallow, where the last shot was fired, the
body of tho deer, tho hastily erected shel
ter of the hunters, what they ate, drank
nnd smoked, the names of tho men and a
place recently visited by one of them, In
only two particulars did tho scouts fail,
one man's name and tho finding ot a
watch chain.
Clement Jackson. Troop 123, was
awarded a deer foot for finding the
"body," and George Cuthbert and George
Knox, both of Troop 66, were given a
deer foot each for finding a deer foot In
a hollow tree. Herbert Harper, Troop 112,
found a whisky bottle in camp, where
James Dunlap, Troop 7, discovered a to
bacco can and Albert Levan. Troop 93, a
cigar holder, milk bottle and cooking pot.
William Hershcy. Troop 39, found the
wallow. The calibre of tho guns a shot
gun and a rifle nnd the number of shots
fired were determined by Allen Harmer,
Troop 17: Joel Hogeldnd, Troop 80, nnd
Richard Robertson, Troop 39. Charles
Talt, Harvey Horton and Russell White,
all of Troop 48, and Alfred Leech, Troop
SO, discovered where the first shot was
fired, a place frequented by squirrels. A
baggage check with the owner's name
told Ralph Kelly, Troop 40, where the
man had recently been.

delivered. Ho was exhausted, but lay In
a thicket and rested before making the
final dash.

miles of territory, wre mistaken for In
dians and pounced upon by tho mes
sengers. To avoid this they put on
white armbands', nnd were captured and
"scalped" by thfe Indians, In spite of
their protests.
Some messengers are suspected of al
lowing themselves to. be captured to en
Joy a ride In Scoutmaster Friedman's
car.
Nelson Souder, Troop 1, an Indian, was
considerably surprised when he prodded
In a cornstalk and a "paleface Jumped

TWO NEW COMMANDMENTS"
Tho Rev. K. R. ForWs Plenda for
Fellowship as Key to Higher Life.
"The Two New Commandments" Was
the sufiJect of a sermon delivered by the
Hv. tfennoth Ripley Forbes, of Boston,
at the noon Lenten services at Old Christ
Eplscdpal ChurCh, 2d Street, above Mar
ket street, todny.
Those commandments, the Itev. Dr.
Forbes said, were "Love Ono Another"
and "Go Ye Into All the World and
n-t.M, ih rtrmnel to Every Creature."
Throughout his address ho dwelt upon
tho Idea of fellowship nnu urgen wmi
salvation, morality, ethics and religion,
should he taught from the individual,
rather than the social point of view.
'"The Subject ot my address expresses
God's demand for democracy and for
missions," snld the preacher. "Until we
recognize these two things as ono wo will
neVer find either one or tho other satis
factory. Tho two aro one. The power
and force and beauty of fellowship Is nt
the bottJm of all. In developing this wo
must proceed not through organization
but through each individual's thoughts
nnd life.
"To begin this process you must per
sbnalizo your life and thoughts! you
must rpcognlze every ono you meet or
come In contact with in buelnoBs, pleas
ure, Boclety In every phase of life. Fel
lowship must come first. Woe unto men
if tho organization of democracy out
strips the fact Itself: or If our machinery
of missions outruns our lovo of them.
FellAwshlp of man and man proceeds
only from the supromo fact of tho fellow
ship of tho lovo of God for us."
OPPORTUNITY FOR GRACE
ThoRov. John W. Walker Says Id Is
Open to All.
"Tho rich may havo tho same oppor
tunity to lovo that has bcon granted by
a wlso provldonce, if they will glvo away
their riches," snld tho Rev. John W.
Walker In his Lenten sermon nt Old
St. Peter's Church, 3d nnd Pine streets,
nt noon today.
Mr. Walker's subject was opportunity
and Its Importance In tho sum ot things
human. Ho said tho wholo problem of
tho present Ufa and that to come was a
matter of opportunity, nnd that once an
swered the solution Is at hand.
"This answer," tho speaker said, "will
settle every phase for all, rich or poor,
111 or well. Wo aro created equal, nnd
therefore wo ought to have equal chances
In this world. It is not knowledge or
wealth or position that will satisfy.
"Equally Important is tho' need for all
of us to learn to love. It seems to me
that tho poor have tho better opportunity
to live and love. Dut underneath all this
seeming Is the basic fact that the rich
havo tho opportunity for a fullness ot
spiritual graco equal to that of tho more
humble If they will but avail themselves
of It."
"THE STUDY OF FAITH"
Doctor Tomkins Preaches Lenten
Sermon at Old St, Paul's.
"Tho Study of Faith," was the sub
ject of tho sormon preached by the Rev.
Floyd W. Tamklns, rector of Holy Trin
ity Protestant Episcopal Church, 19th
and Walnut streets, at tho noonday serv
ice held at the Old St. Paul's Church, 3d
street below Walnut street, today. Doc
tor TOmklns said:
"There aro four lines along which wo
may study faith, namely, tho Bible, the
church and creeds, prayer and service.
If any one understand) these he has a
true understanding of faith. Bollevlng
in the Bible Is of great Importance. Somo
peoplo do not bellevo In tho Bible, nnd
for this reason get In trouble. Other
peoplo trust to themselves to And . out
truth Instead of relylnp on God. Unless
we go to church wo cannot have a true
Understanding of faith. Many people do
not do anything for God, hence they do
not know truth." 1
The speaker explained that the real ob
ject of prayer Is asking God to reveal to
us the truth.
GARRICK THEATRE MEETING
Father J. O. S. Huntington Preaches
on Selfishness and Altruism.
Father J. O. S. Huntington, O. H. C,
preached the Lenten sermon ut the Gar
rick Theatre, today. His subject, broadly
speaking, wnS selfishness nnd Its relation
to the Inward nnd natural Instinct of self
preservation. Tho theatro was filled to
overflowing.
Father Hpntlngton snld that tho start
ing point to lovo Is love of self. "This 1b
not a law of nature enjoined upon us,
but an Instinct lodged within. It is the
lnstinot of self-preservation. The first
Impulse of a humnn being Is to fly from
danger. It Is our self-love that prompts
us to flight. The better part of our
natures would bid us stand steadfast It
Is the least worthy side of our natures
that runs away."
