lilacrl, I iff v. "Angels are all very well ss symbols or In church windows, but in this age the human conscience is ths voice of God and He manifests Himself to us through our subconsciousness," according to the Rev. Ernest E. Youts, pastor of the Congregational Church of the Pilgrims, Henry snd Remsen speaking yesterday morning at Brooklyn Heights union services held at the Unitarian Church of the Saviour, Pierrepont st. and Monroe pi.

The congregations of the First M. E. Church, the First Presbyterian Church, Plymouth Church, the Reformed Church on the Heights and the Church of the Neighbor also Joined in the services. The Rev. Mr.

Youtz based his sermon on the text, "And Elisha prayed and said, 'Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see," Second Book of Kings, The speaker described his reactions in boyhood to illustrations published in the family Bible and cited specifically the artist's conception of Jacob's Ladder. In this connection the min ister said in part: The picture or Jacob Ladder in that Bible always impressed me as very unsafe, and I often thought about the precarious situation of the angels when they discovered the ladder was leaning against the clouds. The Rev. Mr. Youtz added, referring to his text, that he doubted "if it would do us very much good to pray for horses, chariots and fire," as described in the Bible story, and declared that if modern man did witness such manifestations of God's power he would go to his oculist or alienist for treatment.

"If you should see an apparition of an angel you would have no assurance of a manifestaion of God's power," he continued. "Angels are all very well as symbols or in church windows but in this age the human conscience is the voice of God." NEW CHURCH DEDICATED. Sonierville, N. June 24 The new First Methodist Episcopal Church was dedicated yesterday, with Bishop Francis J. McConnell officiating.

Rev. Frederick W. Sloat, pastor, delivered the sermon and said that the church cost about S150.000. A bronze tablet to the late James p. Duke, tobacco king, who donated $100,000 toward the new edifice, was unveiled in the vestibule of the church after the dedication Fifty-four years ago Charles J.

Miller assisted in the laying of the cornerstone of the Second Reformed Church, then located st the corner of Bedford and Church sves. Yesterday afternoon he stood beside the Rev. Henry J. Wahl, pastor of the church, and played corresponding role in the laying of the same cornerstone, this time at the corner of Bedford ave. and Martense where the church was moved several weeks ago.

The old site was sold for $75,000, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the building fund of the new edifice. The old frame building will be remodeled with a brick facing to harmonize with the other parish buildings. Magistrate Alfred E. Steers, In a word of greeting to the members present, gave a reminiscent sketch of the happy days spent on the old site. Assistant District Attorney Fred erick L.

Kopff brought a message of regret from Boro President James J. Byrne, who was to have spoken but was called to Peekskill, where he ad dressed the 106th Infantry. Mr. Kopff declared that "if we could only substitute the Bible lor tne penal code there would be no use for a District Attorney offlce. The speaker sees the cornerstone of a church not only as the founda tion of civilized society but as a monument of piety and zeal to the pastor.

Kracke Praises Radio. "Little did man think 54 years ago, when this cornerstone was first laid, that today the voice of man could be heard from one end of the continent to the other," stated Port Appraiser Frederick H. J. Kracke Mr. Kracke feels that next to Johannes Gutenberg, who Invented the printing press, just 529 years ago today, that the radio ranks sec ond in spreading the word of man.

The speaker feels that the printed form carries more weight than the spoken message, especially with young people. The Rev. Samuel S. Daughtry, pastor of the Old First Reformed Graduate Entertained. Miss Margaret M.
