Love Making in

Pastor Says Sunday School

Love.
Syracuse. N. Y., Oct. 15.—Love
making should be fostered in every
church In Syracuse and the art of it
taught In the Sunday schools, de
clares Rev. Albert II. Wright, pastor
of the Immanuel Baptist church:
‘•Courtship is going on In our
churches and Sunday schools con
stantly whether we know it or not,"
the minister declared today. “It real
ly does not have to be taught to de
velop, but some guidance should be
given in order to have it. take the
right channels.
“Without the spirit of love making
our Christian Endeavor societies
would have to close their doiyrr, for
there would not be enough young peo
ple to sing anything but a solo.
Church lane Purest.
“Under the Influence of the Sunday
school and the Christian Endeavor so
ciety the young people of both sexes
are brought together under proper
conditions and learn love In its purer
sens* This is not always understood
and fostered by the heads of the
religious organizations.
“Sunday school is the best and
finest place in the world for love
making. in my opinion. It is the
match-making that lasts that is de
\ eloped with a religious atmosphere.
“What is more natural than for
love to develop when young people
of If, years or over get together in
the proper atmosphere?
Would Cut Divorce*.
“Divorces would be greatly de
creased if more marriages began in
the shadows of our churches and in
our Sunday schools. The trouble to
day is there is not enough religion
in the homes and the result is both
men and women are too willing to
sever the marriage ties.
‘‘Love making was fostered in the
churches of Europe during the war,
especially in England, where I served
most of the time. The soldiers were
able to meet the young women under
proper conditions either in the
churches or in the “hostess houses."
“If the church would take ail in
terest in love affairs of young peo
ple there w'ould lie more happy homes
and better.. well-cared for children."
said Rev. Wright.

Washington, Oct. 15.—Governor
Gifford Plnchot of Pennsylvania was
severely criticised today liy ex-Gov
arnor Henry J. Allen sof Kansas for
his sensational speech of Sunday la
dire tile dry conference here in which
he challenged President t'oolldge to
take personal command of the pro

“The governor of Pennsylvania."
said the ex-governor of Kansas,
"should watch his own fences."
"If I were governor of a common
wealth." said Allen, "and there was a
city in that commonwealth which
openly defied me with the dictum that
its saloons would not close, that city
would wake up next morning to the
sound of bugles, its citizens would go
to bed to the music of ‘taps’ and
troops would remain there until the
law was obeyed.”
Alien had reference to the situation
in Philadelphia, where Governor
Plnchot recently tried unsuccessfully
to close the city's 1.800 saloons.
