WEAKNESS OF CHURCH
REVEALED BY SUNDAY
The Rev. Dr. Pfatteicher Says
Religious Faith Haa Dis
closed Lack of Faith.
The "Billy" BundAy campaign has
stirred up a great deal ot discussion on
religion throughout the city, but it has
also revealed n deplorable slato of affairs
In religious affairs, said tho Rev. Dr. C.
I', Pfatteicher, who preached tho noon
day Lenten sermon at Old St. John's Lu
theran Church, Race street below 6th
street, today.
"Havo wc not been silent too long and
loo often In tho presence of the enemies
of Christ?" lie risked. "A short tlmo
ago a friend of mine said that tho com
tng of Mr Sunday has mado It bo much
easier to speak to others nbout religion.
This la undoubtedly true. But Is thcro
not In it n terrible self-Indictment to
bo compelled to ncknowlcdgo thnt wo
havo been silently listening to tho sneorn
nnd blnsphcmlcs of t'no enemies of Christ
without Interposing a stnglo word of
protest nnd without acknowledging our
allegiance?"
Doctor Pfatteicher based his sermon,
"The Sllenco of Christians In the Pres
ence of tho Kncmlcs of Christ," on tho
Incident of Peter sitting In tho court
yard with tho centurions nnd others
nbout him, wlilio Christ was being tried
within tho palace Tho silence of tho
disciple, while many pcrsonB nbout him
made derogatory remarks about tho
Saviour, Is typical of ovory ono of ub, he
said.
THE BOMBS OF THE DEVIL
The Rov. II. C. Stono Scores Enemies
of Church.
The "bombs" which tho devil employs
In his wnrfaro agnlnst Christians wcro
described bv tho Rov II Charles Stone,
tho noonday Lenten speaker nt Old St.
Paul's Church, 3d street below Walnut
street, today He scored tho critics of tho
church and nttrlbuted tho lack of prog
ress of religion to them
"Tho bonibi of touchiness, busy-ncss
and traditionalism are three of the dhlef
weapons which tho devil uses against
Christian people." ho said "Ho causes
porsons clouded by traditionalism to
arguo thnt becauso men havo nover beoii
religious nnd have never gone to church,
they nover will. They allow certain
things, which they do not consider false,
to retard them
"Tho church cannot progress because
members set themselves up ns critics
Men who would not dream of discussing
certain material things, which they feel
they nre not qualified to discuss, consider
themselves experts who can criticise and
iudgo religious matters "
Ha based his sermon on tho action of
tho prodigal son's elder brother, taking
no his toxt, "Ho was angry and would
not go In "
AT ST. STEPHENS CHURCH
Tho Rev. G. A. Johnson Preaches
Lenten Sermon.
"Tho SacredncsH of Mnterlal Thln,;s"
wns tho topic chosen by tho Rev G A.
Johnston Rois, of the Union Theological
Seminary, for his noonday Lenten ser
mon nt St. Stephen's Church, 10th aboo
Chestnut street, today
"Just people," ho said, "often get a dis
taste for religion becnuso It seems to take
no stock In tho outdoor life. This one
Bldedneas Is fatal It arises in n way
of think I tig thnt disparages naturo and
thot way of thinking Ib essentially evil.
It has given rise to the Idea of antagonism
between science and religion, nnd It gives
unreality to our moral conflicts, because
It Is ultimately In our handling of nature's
stuff that our moral llfo becomes either a
triumph or falluie."

CHURCH BUILT BY
PREACHER AND WIH
TO BE DEDICAM)
The Rev. and Mrs. Arthur
G. Tippett Finish Task
Begun Nearly a Year
Ago in Spirit of Relig
ious Zeal.
The Rev, Arthur O, Tlppatt thought
there ought to bo a church In a little set
ttcment on the southern side of Maple
Shade, which lies In New Jersey, less
than 10 mites from Philadelphia. 11
preached a sermon there nnd explained
his Idea. But when ho called for volun
teer carpenters tho only persons who
held up their hands were tho preacher
and his wife, Ada Tippett.
No workmen, no money nnd not even
a road to tho placo where the church was
to be bultt that was the way tho thing
started. Now tho church Is ready to bo
dedicated, becauso a clergyman who had
nover driven a nail had energy, and be
causo his wife, in the midst of house
hold work and caring for n baby, helped
him haul stones, carry bags of cement,
lift heavy Btlcks of timber .and uso a
hammer and saw. Sho was his partner
in building n road through an uncleared
wood and together thoy managed to put
up n parsonage nt the same tlmo they
wero building a house of worship. Tha
work was dono In tho fow hours a day
that wcro left nftcr the preacher cams
back from his mission work In the Ken
sington mill district.
The building, called the Christ Free
Church, Is on Fort Landing road, n mils
and a halt south of the Maple Bhada
railroad station. It will be dedlcatod on
Easter Sunday. Thirty-eight by forty
feet In size, it has a two-story tower In
which la built a study for the self-appointed
pastor, who will have no salary.
Three hundred people can bo seated In It.
When work was stnrtcd last May there
wan no road to tho site. The first work
was to build a roadway through n mite
of swamp land. Tho preachor and his
wlfo did It. Then they sharpened their
axes and cut away enough land to erect
the church and tho parsonage, next door.
That done, they marked out on tha
ground, with a stick, tho boundaries of
their proposed edifice
One hundred wagon loada of stones
from neighboring fields nnd the same
number of bags of cement wont Into tha
foundations. The cement was donated
nftcr assiduous soliciting by the preacher
carpenter, and his timber came In tha
eamo way. There nro 20,000 feet of ium
ber In the building. It consists of knotty
pieces of many varieties of wood, con
tributed by lumber dealers, and hauled by
the minister In a milk wagon. When this
part of the work was going on, last fall,
the clergyman's horse foundered nnd In
trying to help htm out ho himself was
cnught in mud and almost freezing water
for four hours. The details of tho build
ing operation suggest tho conditions
under which frontier missionaries worked
In the West half a century ago,
Seventy-five dollars Is the total of cash
contributions which havo been received
by tha builder. Opera chairs were donated
for seats and an organ was given by a
Philadelphia church. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company donated nn engine bell,
which is being placed In the tower.
Tho Rev. Mr. Tippett nnd his wife wcra
born in England. Ho was a preacher at
15 years of aro, when he worked In tin
mines In Cornwall. His grandfather,
"Billy Bray, the Cornish Miner," was an
Ittnernnt preacher and built several stone
churches with boulders wheeled from tha
mines In a bnrrow. Tlppott's mother was
an ordained minister, nnd the preacher
builder ascribes his tendencies to heredity.
He Is non-sectarian During the week ha
docs mission work In the mill district of
thlH city, where he Is a familiar figure.
During the summer he operates a "Gospel
Car" i,n Brldesburg and Kensington.
