UNION OF CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES ADVOCATED.
Dr. Landreth Wants Bee-Hive of
Religious Industry Here.
From Atlanta Constitution.
A large crowd at Wesley Memo
rial church Sunday morning lis
tened to a sermon of great force
and eloquence delivered by Dr.
Ira Landreth, preacher, college
president, evangelist and temper
ance orator. Dr. Landreth prea(di
ed from the text, “I Believe,”
and the theme of his address was
the union of all Christian church
es, and the wiping out of all ex
cept four cardinal points of the
Christian creed—“belief in <!od
the Father, in Christ, the Saviou •,
in God as rny Maker, and in my
self as the servant of Mod.”
‘‘Atlanta should be made a per
fect hive of religious industry,”
said the preacher, “and there
wouldn’t he hut one church here
if I had my way. If we can have
communion, we can have union,”
said he.
Though a minister of the Pres
byterian church. Dr. Landreth de
clared he did not fully ascribe to
all the Westminister catechism,
and that he had but little patience
with pulpit conventionalities.
"Due of the misfortunes of the
American pulpit is that it is too
conventional. We will have to get
away from some of the formali
ties!”
All Good Gospel.
Dr. Landreth declared that he
believed anything that stands for
Mod against the devil. good
against evil, for home and children
and schools, is good gospel, and
that it was the only kind of gospel
he was willing to preach.
The sermon, which was filled
uitli terse epigrams and aphorisms
was eagerly heard by the large
congregation, and deep impress
ions were made by many of his
sayings.
lir. Landrcth scored the care
lessness of parents, which in many
eases lie declared had resulted in
tin* wrong doing of children, and
said that a too indulgent father is
a criminal against society and a
breeder of bolshevism. “We have
so many wayward children,” said
he. “because we have so many
.eyreless fathers'’ Some day we will
adopt the wise Chinese custom of
punishing the parents for the mis
deeds of their children. It is our
business to train children right.”
Should Punish Parents.
In speaking of the duty of peo
ple toward flit 1 present generation,
l>r. Land ret li said that there is no
crime so contemptible as tlmt of
indifference to the welfare of oth
ers. Then taking u?> the question
of duty to the coming generation,
and the children yet unborn, the
minister entered into a powerful
discussion of sociological ques
tions. questions of human economy
and development and of tin* effect
of the liquor traffic upon the na
tions of the earth.
“Alcohol weakens and destroys
that part of man’s brain that
makes him unselfish and generous
to others,” said he, and attributed
the world’s great war to the liquor
traffic in (lermany, where, he de
clared, alcohol had destroyed the
unselfishness of a nation and driv
en people who were at one time
leaders in art and the sciences to
deeds of barbarity that shocked
the world.
“.Vow that prohibition has come
to America,” said Dr Landreth.
“Luther Burbank believes that
with the crossing of all the bloods
of la trope witli 'our American
slock the coming generations in
this country should become super
men.”
