4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 SIS SEIENCE FDS CHRISTIAN LIFE BEST Pastor Cites "Voices From the Road-Side" The Sermon at the Winnetka Con- gregational church last Sunday morn- ing dealt with some of the voices being heard to-day in advocacy of the Christian way of life but coming from unexpected sources. Mr. Richards said in part: Biology Preaches "One road-side voice is that of bi- ology. It is really an astonishing con- versation. Biology and Christianity were long supposed to be hopelessly opposed. Careful reflection has for most people removed this feeling of opposition. And then biology has gone right forward into new fields. From the work of a filing clerk it aspires to that of production man- ager. Now in the persons of many of its leaders it is actually talking the language of the New Testament. One of its recent writers has declared that eugenics is just the projection of the golden rule down the stream of pro- toplasm, that the state has never yet discovered more than half of Chris- tianity and to the part that applies to the living it must add the part ap- plicable to the more numerous unborn, that Jesus proposed more abundant life for them as much as for any- body and that if he were here to-day he might say, "Do unto the born and the unborn as you would have the born and the waborn do unto you." Biology has donned the cloth and climbed the pulpit and begun to preach. Unselfishness Brings Health "But perhaps the clearest new voice from the road-side is that of psychology. It is not too much to say that modern psychology has dem- onstrated that the human organism, brain and nerves and muscles and organs, is actually constructed for the Christian way of life and for no other. It will not run on any other plan so well. Selfishness and intro- spection mean mental and physical disorder, weakness, fatigue and futil- ity. The very laws of Jesus are written into your constitution, built into your nature. The unselfish care for the welfare of others is the only sure foundation of health and hap- piness. Psychology "Gets Religion" "I am not now quoting the sayings of moralists or of religionists. These are the calm conclusions of psycho- logical science derived from exhaust- ive investigations of the human mind and the study of thousands upon thousands of unhappy, nervous, dis- tracted persons. There is a moral and a spiritual stimulus in the new psy- chology like bugles going by. Fear and anxiety and -self-pity are ruled out by it as sternly as by Jesus. In its own way it cries out that he who finds his life shall lose it and he who loses his life shall find it, and over its laboratories and clinics might be written his words, "Thou shalt love thy God and thy neighbor as thyself. Seek first the Kingdom of God." "Psychology has been converted. It has 'got religion'. It has joined the church. It has entered the ministry. It has begun to preach the gospel of the Master's way of life." Citizens Witness Memorial Tree Presentation Event A large representation of citizens attended the Armistice Day Memorial Tree presentation program at Sheri- dan Road and Wiilow street last Sat- urday. The ceremonies were conducted by the Chicago chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, who made the presentation. Mrs. John Orson Bar- ber, Winnetka leader and active in D. A. R. circles, had a prominent part in the program. The village, various civic organizations and the Winnetka Post of the American Legion partici- pated in the activities.
