ad JE October 16, 1926 WINNETKA TALK FIRST PATTON LECTURE BRINGS FINE RESPONSE Large Audience Hears First of Series Given Under Auspices of Two Churches It was a large and enthusiastic audi- ence which greeted Dr. Carl S. Patton at the first of his six lectures which are being given on successive Wednes- day evenings at Christ Church Parish House under the joint auspices of the Winnetka Congregational church and Christ church. Having previously made scores of friends in the community through a brilliant series of lectures, Dr. Patton was welcomed by a gathering which filled the Parish House to its capacity and listened with interest to his ex- position of the "New Emphasis in Re- ligious Beliefs," the first of his six themes in discussing the subject: "The Old Gospel in the New Times." Those who were unable to attend the first lecture and will wish to hear Dr. Patton next Wednesday evening will be interested in the very practical, un- derstanding point of view which he took of the present day religious situa- tion in America. Dr. Patton said in part: Theology Not Dry "Theology is commonly regarded as a dry subject. That is a great mis- take. There is nothing that people are more interested in, or more ready to get earnest or even mad about, than their theology. It is impossible to give an outline of theology in forty-five minutes, but IT can tell you some points on which the emphasis has been changed. "There is a great attack upon dog- matism. We are astonished at some of the things our forefathers knew which nobody has any real business to know. There is a changed conception of the Bible. There is a lessened veneration for the past. There is a feeling that we can get along without a great, heavy body of theological thought such as our ancestors carried. We feel like concentrating on the fundamentals, on God, on Jesus Christ, and on the actual service that we owe to the world. Freedom Essence of Life "We feel that the essence of the spiritual life is freedom. We take more or less a pragmatic attitude and we be- lieve that whatever does not do us any good is not true. We have a new sense of personal responsibility about our own religious beliefs. "We try to find the underlying truth beneath old forms of expression, and we believe that God is with us in all these matters as he was with our fathers. With these con- victions, the present age is working out a theology of its own." It was with this sympathetic under- standing of the mind of the public that Dr. Patton launched upon this series which promises to be one of the most interesting events of the fall. Particu- larly enthusiastic were the members of both churches over the success of their joint undertaking because of the promise which it holds for future cooperation. The second of Dr. Patton's lectures will be given next Wednesday evening at 8:15 o'clock at Christ church Parish House, Oak and Linden streets, on the subject: "Is the Old Testament Out- grown?" The public is invited to at- tend all of the lectures, which are given without charge. Hold Last Rites Here for Stewart Johnson Funeral services for Stewart John- son, secretary of the American Lega- tion at Cairo, who died at Alexandria, September 10, from injuries received in an automobile accident, were held Monday afternoon at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson, 701 Sheridan road. Rev. James Austin Richards read the service, together with passages from the 14th chapter of St. John, Psalm 23, and Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." Hymns were sung by the Congregational church quartet, "Abide with me," "O love that will not let me go," and "The Saints of God," which had been sung at the services in Alexandria. Burial was at Graceland cemetery. The services were attended by many friends.
