"ReligiOus, Business
Ideals Harmonize,"
- Avers Rev. Lovell
"Business land Chtistmn ideals do
not, as is commonly believed, conflict
with each other, but actually harmon
ize, and the strength of the religious
world of today is directly dependent
upon the help of the modern indus
trial system," was the assertion of
Rev. Moses It. Lmell of •the Mount
Pleasant Congregational Church,
Washington, D C., when he addressed
tho Chapel audience Sunday morning
Reverend Lovell introduced into his
sermon the analogy of Trinity Church
and the Woolworth building in New
York. The Woolwoith budding, tow
ering above the little church by its
side, scorns to proclaim the victory of
the giant industrial system of the
modern world over religion How
es er, he claimed, this common belief
is not actuality because the two fac
tions loftily work side by side towards
o common end.
"Prohibition -remained the wild
dream of the idealist," the minister
stated, "until the industrial interests
brought piessuie to bear upon the
liquor factions. When the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers decid
ed that it could tolerate no longer the
presence of drunken woildnen on the
trains,- it was not long before pro
hibition changed from a fancy into
Un actuality."
Inmates of University Club Acquire
1 Aches and Pains in Manual Activity
Presenting a quite business-like as
pect with their coats off and shut
4leeves rolled up, several inhabitants
of the University Club trooped icons
the door of their rett eat Thursday af
ternoon, immediately following lunch,
and gathered in a group upon the
lawn which surrounds the building.
Evidently their reason for present
ing this unusual spectacle was a hap
py one for the Club's porch was lined
with laughing spectators who seemed
full of advice and opinions. The cur
iosity of thp passers-by was assuaged
when one of the worthy gentlemen
disappeared into the back premises
and returned burdened with saws and
11Xeb.
It was apparent that the astute peo
lessors were going to demonstrate
their physical skill upon the havoc
wrought to the trees in various parts
of the lawn`by-the recent snowstorm.
