Rev. Will 41. Hitler Pleaches Excel
lent Sermon on Questions Asked
, 100 Men.
From the following text, Rev.
Will H. Hlller preached an excellent
sermon Inst Sunday evening that sup
ports a local flavor:
What One Hundred Men Think!
Text: Prov. 11:14 Where no coun
sel is tho people fall: but In the mul
titude of counsellors there is safety.
On the afternoon of Feb. 23, In
responso to my invitation a hundred
men gathered in the lecture room of
tho church, and joined In a men's
service. The company comprised
lawyers, merchants, manufacturers,
teachers, bookkeepers, agents, me
chanics, laborers, a fairly representa
tive body of the men of Honesdale.
To that body of men tho following
questions were submitted, and they
were asked to write their answers.
1 What are the greatest hlnder
ances to Christian life in Honesdale?
2 How can tho church help men
and boys in life's battle?
3 How can men help the church?
4 Are the lodges better attended
In proportion to membership than
the churches?
5 Is the world growing better or
worse? Is commercial success pos
sible to a true Christian?
G What are the chief themes of
conversation in Honesdale?
I submit that what such a body
think on such subjects is worthy of
our careful consideration and that
the answers of these men furnish
food for earnest thought. Let us
remember that these answers are not
the result of resolutions advocated
and carried by vote, but the opinions
of earnest men each one speaking
or rather writing for himself.
There is to me inspiration in tho
fact that there was practical unanim
ity in tho replies to the questions as
to the world's growing better and
the possibility of a true Christian life
and commercial success meeting in
the same life. Here wero men who
every day are in the thick of life's
battle and 9C out of a hundred be
lieve the old world grows better.
Here aro men who know the world
and the temptations of commercial
life but 94 out of a hundred are be
lievers in tho success of Christian
men.
To the questions, "How can the
church help men and how can men
help the church," while the answers
vary In form tho most of them em
phasize the fact that the church
should show a wjde sympathy with
men, engage in 'social service and
strive by all means to win men to
Christ. Nine per cent, name the hy
pocricy or inconsistency of Christian
people. 10 per cent, say indifference
of Christians. Twenty per cent, men
tion amusements in many cases,
specifying cards, pool rooms and the
dance. Forty-four per cent, indict
the saloon or somo form of the liq
uor trafllc as the chief hinderance to
Christian life In Honesdale, while 5
per cent, more include the saloon
with other hindrances. The deadly
cigarette appears to a number to de
serve naming as ono of the greatest
hlnderances to Christian life. Take
now these answers and let us re
member that these men base them
on what they have seen or heard. It
is appalling to learn that 9 per cent,
of such a body have reached the con
clusion that hypocrisy and incon
sistency are the greatest hlnderances
to Christian life in Honesdale. Oh,
but they know of other hlnderances.
Christian man wake up, for men
will stumble into hell over the hy
pocrite and the inconsistent. Think
again'of how far short of Christian
privilege many church members
must be living, when ten earnest men
nnme indifferenco as the chief hin
derance to Christian life. The world
can not bo indifferent unless Chris
tians appear to be. It may mate,
may oppose, may persecute, but not
Indifference. The answers show a
very decided belief In the helpful
ness of church attendance. They
emphasize the power of Christian
example. While several demand
that the church aid men by institut
ing Y. M. C. A. and substituting legi
timate amusements for those that
aro questionable. While there is
also an insistence that men should
aid tho church by becoming active
workers in her ranks. Are lodges
better attended, etc. As to attend
ance at church and lodge, -opinions
were divided, the majority thinking
that the lodges were better attended
than the church.
But turn now to question one and
its answer. What aro tho greatest
hlnderances to Christian life In
Honesdale?' Ono man, and he is
ono of the most Intelligent in tho
community, answers: "Too much in
terest in denominations." Several
mention tho lack of a Y. M. C. A.
Somo unbelief. Some tho lack of
