BELIEVED MISTAKE HAS BEEN
MADE AS PAVLOF IS 650
MILES AWAY
- !
An Anchorage paper claims that
one night this week residents of the
city viewed what they believed to be ;
flames from Mount Pavlof, which is
in eruption 650 miles to the west
ward. It is believed that what the!
citizens really saw was an unusually I
brilliant display of northern lights,
very cold weather being reported from,
Circle and other Northern points.
MULTITUDES WANT RELIGION
The chief topics ot interest to the
people, if we may juuge by the press j
are sex, personality, religion and
sport. The modern novelist deals ‘
with sex and religion, human love and j
divine love. Articles on religion are
to be found as never before in the
daily papers, in magazines, and even •
in trade journals. Multitudes want
religion and the church does not meet j
their need. What is wrong? A re
cent writer gives his answer in these j
words:
“Wherever I go, whether in trains,
in hotels or in the homes of ray
friends, the one subject that men dis
cuss is religion and the failure of the
churches. That is the attitude of the
religiously-minded man in the street
I Sometimes he comes to a service to
| find out what it all is about, but the
service is dull to him and he goes a
way disappointed. The fact is, our
church services have taken a form
which only the initiated can under
stand and enjoy. They are food for
an acquired taste. The hymns, phra
seology, and form of service require
an expert knowledge which the ordl
narv man does not have.”
1 This expression of opinion contain0
a challenge to church people ?rtd com
pels them to look again at the reli
'gion of Jesus whose followers thev
claim to be. The religion of the Man
of Nazareth was attractive to the
man in the street. The people out
side the church in the days when
Christ mingled among men flocked to
hear Him and they went away happy
>and satisfied.
“The Religion of Jesus” will be the
Subject of the sermon to be preached
next Sunday at St. Peter’s Church at
the 11 a.m. service.
