AGNOSTICISM THEME
OF LENTEN SPEAKER
Rev. Charles Townsend Snyo
Jonah Story Has Nothing to
Do With Faith.
Jonah and tho whalo nnd other Blblo
stories havo nothing to do with tho
principles of Christianity, according to
tho Itev. Charles Townsend, of the Epis
copal Church of the Good Shcphcid,
Itocemoiit, who spoke on "Shallow Ag
nosticism" at the noon Lenten service of
Old St. Paul's Church, 3d Btrcet below
Walnut.
"Agnosticism Is the causo of tho cruci
fying of Christ on earth today," the Rev.
Mr. Townsend said. "Thero Is nt present
In this city a controversy between 'Billy'
Sunday on tho one hand and the Unitar
ians on thjo other. Sunday preaches tho
ovnngcllcnl Gospel unfortunately com
bined with a crude, literal Interpretation
of Inessentials In tho Bible. This Interpre
tation Is not moro than noo jears old.
"It began with tho Protestant Reforma
tion, and It Is giving a handle for tho
Unitarians In their answers to Sunday's
attacks. Iteal Christians should work
their way through lho theso obfuscatlons
to tho truth. The troublo with Sunday Is
that ho takes tho Bible too llterallv nnd
Insists upon dwelling on non-essentials.
"Those who seek tho truth will abandon
tho shallow agnosticism that is Indlffei
cnt to Christ's teachings. Tho point of
view of tho agnostics Is caused by moral
feebleness, nnd this Is also tho effect of
agnosticism."
SERIES OF SERVICES BEGUN
Interdenominational Meetings Open
in First Presbyterian Church.
Intcidcnomlnntlonal noonday IMiten
scrvlccs-opcncd today at the, First Pres
byterian Church, 7th and Locust streets,
with a sermon on "Prevailing Voices," by
the pastor, tho Ilov. Dr. Hdward Yates
Hill. Ministers of practically every de
nomination havo given their support to
tho services, which will bo continued
every dny until Kastcr. Doctor Hill said
theso meetings were not Intended to con
flict with other services, but wcro Inau
gurated to accommodate thousands of
men and women who work nnd llvo
aiound Independence and Washington
Sounres.
Doctor Hill in his sermon deplored tho
great clamor which tended to drown the
voice of Christ.
"Wo llvo today In tho midst of a great
clamor of voices," ho said, "We aro
tugged at by contrary persuasions In poll
tics, economics, theology and every other
phase of life. Wo are shouted at. by tlio
conservative and radlcnl, by the old
school and tho new school. Every soul
Is compelled to sit In Judgment as did
Pilnto on such voices ns clamor for a.
hearing. Many of tho voices which coma
up cause Us to pay attention to tho Inter
ests of ambition rather than to thu in
vitntions of honor.
"Tho voices of prlde.produce tho attitude
that Insults the cross," he declared.
"Tho teasing volco of passion can Inflame
to such mad desire ns will cause ever
lasting burning. How dlfllcult It Is today
not to yield to tho volco of custom, or
to tho clanwir of Insistence of our social
set. Jesus said that 'everyone who is of
thn truth heareth my voice' How happy
Is one who can detect rising above all this
modern clamor tho gentlo tones ot tho
Nnzareno nnd be guided by His truth. H
is tho nwect counteraction i- . spirit of
nny mob. it Is tho only volco that can
really conquer the mob,"
GRACE OF GOD ALWAYS NEAR
Speaker Says Wo Need Only Ask nnd
It Is Ours.
"Tho giace of God Is nlways with us
nnd ready to respond to our slightest
beck," said tho Rev. John J Wheeler In
u sermon on "Tho Grace of Lent" at St.
John's Roman Catholic Church at noon
today. He said In part:
"Tho grnco of God always Is nbove. If
we wish to avail ourselves of the oppor
tunities to obtain It. Wo were told In

about grace In the church. Grnce Is a
supernatural gift of God, bestowed on us
through the merits of Jesus Christ for
our salvation. It la continually with the
church, for grace l nothing more than
the application of the merits of the suf
fering nnd death of our Lord nnd Snviour,
and these merits the church holds out as
a perpetual storehouse."
SPEAKS ON "SHIELD OF FAITH"
Dr. William M. Groton Defines Mean
ing of Acccptanse.
The Itev. Dr. William M. Groton
preached today on "Taking tho Shield ot
Faith" at the noonday Lenten services at
old St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal
Church, M and Pine streets. Ho said In
part:
"St. Paul calls faith tho shield of tho
Christian. Why ho designated faith as
tho shield can only be Inferred. Thn rea
son piobably Is that faith, like the shield,
can ho presented In any direction nnd
cover nny threatened aspect of the spirit
ual being.
"First, faith In Christ pmtects Ills fol
lowei against the accusations of a sinful
past. Secondly, it Is n defense against
the ombltteilng inttiience of present trials.
Thirdly, It li a buckler against all fears
about the future."
DEFINES NEW VIEW OF JURIST
Speaker Says Savior's Relationship to
Men Should Bo Emphasized.
"Christ as tho Son of Man" was tlio
title of the tlrst of n scrlos of thvca ser
mons preached today by the Hey. George
H. Toop. pastor ot the Church of the
Holy Apostles, !lst nnd- Christian streets,
at tho noon Lenten services of Old Christ's
Episcopal Church, 2d street above Market.
Mr. Toop spoke on the two conceptions
of Christ, ns tho son of Cod and tlio Son
of Man. The first view had been taken
too consistently, ho said. "More than
nnythlng else," ho said, "this conception
has taken Christ nwny fiom enrth nnd
man and brought about a feeling of In
difference: " Theologians, ho Bald, now
are perceiving thcadvantngo of consider
ing Christ's life onWrth and its relation
ship' with men's lives.

SENATOR VAUE HOLDS KEV
TO LOCAL OPTION SITUATION
McNichol's Declaration Gives Down
town Leader n CommaniliiiR Position.
Tho recent declaration of Stnlo Senator
McN'Ichol that thn local option measure
backed by Governor Urumbaugh would
not bo considered ns part of the 'neces
sary legislation at this session, lho Mip
porters of tho local option measure de
clare, has placed tho key to tho situa
tion In tho hands of Senator Varc.
While Senator Vare has consistently re
fused to commit himself upon the local
option measure, tho Importance of his
influence In favor of tho bill has been
Increased greatly by tho open position
of Senator McNIchol. Should Vurc throw
his support to the measuie, Governor
Brumbaugh's statement, "Glvo us :0 men
from Philadelphia nnd we can win," will
come true.
To prove the Vnrr strength In the prcs
cnt Legislature, politicians hero point to
tho Vare caucus on January 2, In which
21 members out of a total ot 41 mem
bers of tho Legislature from Philadel
phia took part. If the bill once piisscil
the House, political observers dcclnin.
public opinion would lw so strong thai
the Senate would havo to pasa the
measure.
Ex-Representative -. Mitchell Palmer,
who has Joined the Governor In his light
for the passage or tlio local option bill,
esterdny suggested thut tho most erfect
lvo way to force, the bill through tho
Legislature would bo a comploto legisla
tive investigation of the Liquor Penlcr.V
Association of I'ennsjlvanln.
This association, .Mr. Palmer declined,
according to Information received by him,
contributed largely to the election of
monibors of the Legislature nnd other
candidates last November. It Is asserted
that from $10 to 150 was obtained from
most of the saloonkeepers to raise tho
