MZ IS BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIL' 6, 1936 Dr. Cadman Gtes As Religion Sees It Society By Dr. HAROLD E. FEY Secretary, The Fellowihip of Reconciliation National ReligiouM Peace Organization LonglslandSociety 11111 111 ppli Ilk lix iillilliillill Palms of Victory Must Be Earned, 1 Dr. Keeler Avers We're Soft Generation, Seeking Pay Without Doing Work, He Asserts "There are many people today who want palms of victory without the strife and struggle and sacrifice without which they may not be won," declared the Rev.

Dr. Ralph Welles Keeler at Goodsell Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church in a Palm Sunday sermon on "How We Win Palms of Victory." "We are a soft generation which longs for the rewards of hardship and endurance without bowing our shoulders to the burdens which prove our fitness for acclaim. When we do not receive the victor's awards we rail at God and our fellow men because they are denied us. "Perhaps the glamour with which art and song and story have en-shrouded the entry of Jesus Into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday has something to do with our ennervated conception of disclple-shlp to Jesus Christ. It may be this fact, together with the emotional reactions which it brings, that Is responsible for our failure to realize that spiritual achievement means spiritual discipline and that the palms of victory are only for those who heed the exhortation Paul gave to Timothy when he wrote: 'Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Jesus Must Work to Win "Yet it may be that the atmosphere of our times has something to do with it.

We live in a day i of getting without doing. Hands are ever stretched out to receive some part of the benefactions which our Government, State and municipality bestow. The fantastio economic condition in which we find ourselves causes some to think that the rewards of diligent labor, honest thinking and righteous living are a thing of the past and one should reach out for a medal before he has run a race. "Those who threw palm branches in the roadway over which Jesus traveled from Bethany to Jerusalem that morning were not aware of what was going on. They were ready to cheer Him whom they thought might become their earthly king, but knew not that what we call 'The Triumphant Entry' was but the facing of an experience out of which Jesus was to emerge meriting the palms of victory.

"They could not realize that the road Jesus was taking could not be smoothed either by garments or branches strewn before Him. He was riding to persecution, humiliation and death on the cross. This the crowd or even His closest disciples could not understand. For He had said: 'He that hath seen Me hath seen the Only the lonely rider who passed quietly through the noisy throng knew what it was all about. the wealth and multiply the power of our munition makers.

In spite of all the Senate revelations, these gentry are still "doing business at the old stand," selling war supplies to other nations which may use them against our own sons. To doubt that these interests are subversive is to confess uttter lack of sensitivity to the kind of social evil which is most deadly In contemporary politics. The epochal Nye Investigation has charted their vicious influence on American government from the preparedness campaign of 1916 to the sabotage of adequate neutrality legislation In 1936. How long shall we permit them to fatten upon the people of the United States? Militarism Strengthened Another plain meaning of these appropriations is that they subsidize and strengthen militarism in this country. They tighten the strangle-hold on Congress of the huge army and navy lobby, one of the most powerful in Washington.

Militarism has already become our most menacing vested interest. The founders of this country purposely kept the military and naval establishment at police size. They loved democracy and knew that militarism and democracy are Incompatible. This naval building is either a colossal, extravagant and provocative bluff or else It is preparation for war. If it Is the first, it constitutes a form of desperate gambling with the destinies and happiness of millions of people which is nothing short of criminal and which Is doomed to failure because It builds up Its fatal antidote in corresponding armaments on the part of other nations.

If it is the latter, then the American people have the right to be taken Into the confidence of the Administration as to who this enemy is against whom such unprecedented preparations for war must be made. Even if we grant that Senator Plttman's speech against Japan gave us this clue, our people still have the right to decide for themselves whether It is best to meet Impending danger in this fashion or by adopting an opposite peaceful policy. Such a peaceful policy adopted now would create confidence and would allay the resentment against us and the fears of aggression on our part which must be making Japan or some unknown nation a menace to our peace. We can honorably avert war but our present course is not in this direction. Miu Louise Goctze WiJIBe Hottest Tomorrow for -Members Of Convention Ball Committee Miss iOulse Qoetee of 60 Remsen St.

Hill.) Varied Views Held On the Crucifixion Radio Minister Declares Cross Crowning Proof of God's Love for Man "Whatever else the Cross was and eternity will not suffice to explore all Its spiritual affluence it was the crowning overture of God's love for the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, radio minister of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, said yesterday In an address on the subject "Love's Surrender" over Station WEAF. "With Palm Sunday we cross the threshold of a week sanctified by the tenderest and most sacred associations," Dr.

Cadman said. "The Gospels appointed for daily reading repeat the familiar account of Our Lord's arrest, trial and crueifixlon. We follow with reverent awe the last stages of the most marvelous life of ministry as it moves forward to a culminating act of sacrifice. Cross Dominates Week "The Cross, which dominates Palm Sunday and Holy Week, haunts the conscience of the believing world and stirs its heart as nothing has ever done. Jew and Gentile alike ask Who was this who died? What has His death to do with me? "The measureless meanings of that Holy Rood have checked speculations about it.

From the first human formulas proved insufficient for its Divine dimensions. Neither theologians nor even poets have ascended the heights or plumbed the depths of the Almighty Love which prompted its sacrifice. "Ever since St. Paul's day the noblest minds of Christendom have fashioned theories and promoted discussions concerning what happened on the first Good Friday at Calvary. Their creeds concerning it were numerous and have varied with the mental outlook of the periods in which they were framed.

Views on Christ Vary Artists have depicted the Victim as King of Kings receiving the homage of the famous monarchs of the world. Hymnists have praised Him as the Great Healer of the hurt of God's children. Ecclesiastics have adored Him as the Eternal Oblation for the sin of the whole human race. Doctors of the Church have worshipped Him as the incarnation of His Father's Justice, of His compassion, of His determination to bring back to Himself every penitent wanderer. To Remain Mystery "Yet, though no factor of Our Lord's life has been more persist ently debated than the mystery of His Cross, these debates have not been brought to a head, and future generations will seek and find, cry and be heard, confess and be for given, but they will not be able to explain why the Sinless One should suffer for the guilt of the race why the Immortal One, the Prince of Life, should nevertheless taste death for every child of man.

"This is God's secret, since He alone could thus will and act in the great transaction and no mortal can discover It," Dr. Cadman said Dr. Cadman quoted what Baron Von Hugel, "the great saint and scholar," said concerning his own redemption by the Christ of the Cross, to the effect, "I should not be physically alive at this moment, I should be, If I were alive at all, a corrupt or at least an incredibly unhappy, violent, bitter, self-occupied destructive soul were it not for religion for Its having saved me from myself it and nothing else; UV in place of everything else; it, in a sense, against everything else." Thousands Prove Truth Then Dr. Cadman said, "Hosts of the redeemed, Incapable of the Baron's vast erudition, keen insight and facility of utterance, have none the less proved in their own lives the truth of his absolute statement. The Cross has shown itself to be an infinitely greater and richer force than any attempted explanation of Its grace to the uttermost." "It is not enough to tell the degraded masses of the sanity and serenity of Jesus, of His tolerance and severity, of His majesty and intimacy.

But when they hear of the suffering love that will not let them go, the most obdurate are melted to be remolded in the image of Him Who gave His life for their renewal," Dr. Cadman said. "Around that sacred hill where the Cross Is planted the strangest passions have centered. For many It has been a stumbling block; for many more too incredulous for consideration, but for the Immense majority who have gazed upon It with eyes of trust and hope it has been a passionate divinity of love which made their hearts fountains of baptismal tears. Perhaps only those who carry their own Cross, who are of a broken and contrite spirit, understand the meaning of the repentance and pardon the sacred Rood inspires," Dr.

Cadman continued. Holds Deepest Truth "He saved others, Himself He cannot was the taunt of His enemies. Spoken in mockery, but, unknown to the speakers, this Jibe enshrined the deepest truth of Christ's manifestation. Assuredly He could not save Himself because His unfaltering purpose was to save others, and love like His never seeks Its own. It lives by dying; its vitality depends upon its selflessness and abnegation," Dr.

Cadman said. And noting that the writers of the New Testament are agreed that the Cross was "the crowning overture of God's love for mankind," Dr. Cadman continued: "There that love gave its perfect manifestation; there It was associated with all the shame and sorrow of the human family; there it took upon Itself the burden beneath which the race lay prostrate and undone; there it restored the broken fellowship between the Creator and His creatures; there It exposed to His wayward earthly children their Heavenly Father's everlasting mercy. "Do you ask 'Why should Christ die for these palpably noble The answer la that Divine love would be inferior to our own if It Miu Nancy Work Will Be Wed to Morru Macy On Thursday, April 30 Miss Nancy Work, daughter of Mr. arid Mrs.

After the wedding ceremony a reception will be held in the Breucke-i len room of the Hotel Towers, (Thb the forty-ninth of a series of article by noted clergy of the United State of various faith pub lished in The Eagle on the Monday sermon page.) Religious leaders are alarmed over the fact that Congress Is now con sidering the largest naval budget any nation has ever had before It In time of peace.

This budget is greater even than that asked by the British government and twice the present expenditure of Japan for naval armaments. In the nation alistic hysteria which characterizes the present Congress it has every chance of passage unless there is a country-wide reaction. This reaction will not be lacking if enough people will stop and spend five min utes thinking what this naval build ing program means. A navy of the kind and size im plied in these unprecedented appro priations is not necessary for defense. This can only be taken to mean that the ships which are being built are designed for aggression.

The largest Items of expenditure are for heavy cruisers and other units capable of operating thousands of mills from our own shores. These constitute the backbone of the fleet. Because the building of each of such ship creates fear and consequent retaliatory building on the part of other nations, such a navy Is not an asset to the United States. Holds Expenditures Unjustified This program also means that the Administration can with difficulty maintain that it has Interest in "the forgotten man" while It continues such an extravagant navallstic expense. With 12,000,000 people still unemployed, such expenditures are unjustified.

This amazing outlay literally takes the bread out of the mouths of millions of men and women, removes education as a possibility for hundreds of thousands of youths, consumes tens of thousands of' needed new houses that otherwise might be built, makes impossible creative labor for multitudes who are now Jobless, Furthermore, such naval building Is dangerous to social justice. It provides too great temptation for politicians to combat the social unrest caused by our failure to solve our domestic difficulties by letting the country drift into a foreign war. This has happened before In our history following depressions. It will happen again unless we awaken to the meaning of these preparations. Another, meaning of these appropriations is that they increase were not sealed by sacrifice," Dr.

Cadman said. Cross Reaches Depths "Admittedly, the Cross delved to the lowest infamies cruelty could Imagine," Dr. Cadman continued. "Whatever crime a rank villain committed, to crucify him was almost a worse crime. Yet Jesus, the purest being of all time, was crucified.

"Moreover, from the hour of His uplifting, the world began to gather at His bleeding feet. The instrument of death which had been Rome's disgrace in the time of her degeneracy at once became the symbol of triumphant life and moral and spiritual freedom and enoblement. "Had not He died when, where and how He did, the cross would have remained as a standing proof of man's Incurable ferocity. Yet the foremost advocate of the religion of Jesus cried aloud, 'God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of Our Lord Jesus "In keeping Holy Week let us refuse to profane It by recrimination and false accusation. The Apostles, who on far less occasions readily resented ill treatment of their Master, came to understand that the world's sin was responsible for that fell deed at Jerusalem.

It was localized there, bn the indictment for it covered the consciously transgressing human world. All had a part In it, the living and the dead, and it has been done afresh and repeatedly since then. Type Still Lives "Men are alive today, and professors of Christianity at that, whose tempers show that they would have nailed Jesus to the Tree. In hating the least of those for whom He died they hate Him. In oppressing them they pain His all Inclusive heart," Dr.

Cadman said. In conclusion Dr. Cadman said: "We should pray, not for easier living but for a nobler life, a character from which the leprosy of selfishness is purged that the soul may expand to its designed dimensions. The eternities behind the historic Cross remind us that we should cultivate our capacity to win and enjoy their endless Joy and peace. "However far off, draw nearer and nearer still, until you enter the realm of pardon, reconciliation, communion, and there at its center you will find the Cross with its call to holier Hying and the sacrificial temper."

Mere Enthusiasm Declared Barrier To Earned Effort "There is a time in life when every person has a triumphal entry, when the highest motives, the loftiest Ideals, the noblest purposes and the purest thoughts are welcomed as king to the Jerusalem of the heart," the Rev.

Dr. Howard A. Northacker, pastor of Newtown Presbyterian Church, Elmhurst, said in his Palm Sunday sermon. "The Pathwa of the Palms may witness a most remarkable proces sion, and yet have its brightness clouded by the shadows of short lived enthusiasm, for the desires and affections easily change while the shades of destiny creep nearer," Dr. Northacker continued.

"The waving of palm branches. accompanied by great noise and ostentation, may be a mere spectacular procedure signifying rejection when placed under the microscope of sincerity. On the other hand, the paving of the highway of life with garments and garlands of kindness may be the expression of confidence and acceptance. Divinity's measuring rod and criterion is motive. The human breast is a web of concomitant motives; some are tinctured with the worthwhile and others are smudged with the worldly.

Character and service are determined by tne complexity of them. What a man approves of becomes morally his own act. Mere enthusiasm is an impossible barrter to earnest effort. Trage'ly of Humanity "The tragedy of humanitv Is blindness to true greatness, coldness to goodness and Inability to recognize a heavenly messenger carrying the higher values of life. What answer do you give as the ideal makes its claim to occupy the heart tnrone? win you become a sincere member of the welcoming commit tee to receive such a king or will you refuse to scatter palms in his path.

"Fickle shouts and professions of loyalty scon vanish, and when expectations fail to be realized feelings evaporate. A noble purpose and a master passion will place the crown on servics and not on self," Dr. Northacker concluded. THE WORLD'S HER OYSTER In fact, she just bought new Oyster hot, for she has a steady income from her furnished room now, thanks to a Want Ad in The Eagle. She liked the people the od brought oround, too, not a bit crabby.

MAin 4-6000-FOR RESULTS INEXPENSIVE GRATIFYING "But He also knew that after the road of hardship, humiliation and death on the cross there were the 'palms of Not palms such as graced the roadsides of Palestine. Not the cheers of the ever misunderstanding multitudes. Rather the palms of victory that were awarded in the quiet of the early morning in the Garden of Joseph of Arimathea. "Palm Sunday challenges to the-spirlt manifested by Jesus, who was not misled by the shouting and the cheers. It calls us to discriminate between approval because we please the unthinking, and approval because we are off on an adventure of righteousness for Christ's sake.

"Those who would arrive at the empty tomb on Easter morning must share the shame and suffering of Him who is our Saviour and Lord. The road from the peace of Bethany, if we travel with Christ, holds the promise of 'peril, toll and pain. Only those who 'can take it' will stay by Him to the Journey's end. And to such alone will the palms of victory be awarded." Ketitttrtt 858A FLATBUSH AVE. Neat Chareh An.
