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.” GLASSES FITTED SPECIAL NOTICE.
