In old st John's Lutheran Church, Race

"Our tint type Is a very common one,"
he snld. "and one your pastor meets too

WEDNESDAY, PENITENCE DAY
Dr. Tomkins Urges Lenten Worship
ers to Make Peace With God
"Wednesday Is the day of repentance.
On this day repent ye of yi ur sins." was
tho thought of tho Rev Dr. I'loyd W
Tomftlns, rector of Holy Trinity Protest
ant Kplscopal Church. In a sermon at the
noonday Lenten service today at Old
Christ Church, 2d and Market streets.
"It Is fitting that Wcdnesilav should bo
the day of repentance for on this day
Judas arranged to betray his Master.
"Wednesday is a day of sorrowful, yet
hopeful, confession to God. Ho will bend
His ear to our forgiveness at any time,
but must wo not think that His tar Is all
tho moro willing when His breast Is full
of sorrow at tho memory of that great sin
of Judas'?
"Let us set aside Wednesdays for the
acknowledgments of our transgressions.
Let us confess them and turn from them.
Then we are forgiven for our sins and can
BO on our way refreshed In body and
soul."
Doctor Tomkins said that repentance
meant "right about face" a complete
change In attitude.
FATHER UUTLEU DEFENDS
DOCTRINE OF PUNISHMENT
Lenten Speaker Also Warns Against
Envy of Rich
The doctrines of- certain modern reli
gionists, who maintain that Ood Is too
merciful to torture souls In a hell, wero
attacked by the Rev. John D. Rutler In a
Lenten sermon today at Old St. Joseph's
Cliuro'i. Wllllng's alley.
Father Rutler also warned Catholics
to abstain from envy of the rich." Tho
sight of tho rich." he said, "tempts some
to become Socialists or Nihilists. Many
poor people would llku to bo worldly t loll
If possible."
In dialing with religionists who say
there Is no hell. Father llutler said
"You may find bonte people who hold
that there Is no hell J that the words of
our Lord aro not to be taken literally
God, they say. Is too good, too kind, to
Inflict such punishment even on his ene
mies. Rut If we nre willing to take the
word of our Lord there Is no doubt on
the subject. He teaches us clearly that
there Is a statu In which demons and men,
who have died In mortal sin, will bo pun
ished forever with terrible punishments "

Ho stormed against thoso who would
exclude all thoughts of hell from their

"Wo don't Ilka to think of lots of other
things, but that don't remove them from
our sight," he said, "nnd Just because wo
don't llko to think there Is a hell Is no
reason for believing that It doesn't exist.

When d competitive truck salesman describes
his own product as being "just as good as the

White leadership both inferentially and by
direct statement.
There is no sentiment about buying trucks. It is a
question of figures. The only criterion is low eventual
cost and by that criterion White Trucks outsell their

Tires That Are Like a
'Balanced' FSy-Wheel
Cy
Absolute 'balance' is necessary to make a
fly-wheel run smoothly efficiently.
Absolute 'balance' is what gives United
States Tires their remarkable efficiency and
low-mileage cost
They have the even distribution of rubber
on the tread and of fabric
in the carcass which gives
them the same exact
'balance' that is so neces
sary to' a fly-wheel.
There is neither more nor less rubber on
one part of the tread than on any other.
There is neither more nor less fabric in one
part of the carcass than in any other.
Both bread and carcass have that 'bal
anced' distribution of long-wearing quality
which assures low-mileage cost to users of
United States Tires. '
