    Pastor Tells of
Modernist Faith
••Dr. Frank Smith Delivers
Third Lerture of Series
to Large Audience.
"The broadening Influence of Jesus
Christ In spite of the fact that 20
centuries have elapsed since He com
pleted His short public ministry Is
sufficient challenge ot any Intelligent
person to give to Christ and what
■has been said of Him the most earn
<st consideration.” said Rev. Frank
‘I. Smith last night at the First Cen
tral Congregational church In h!s lec
ture on "What a Modernist Believes
About Jesus Christ, Including His
Pre-Existence. His Divinity anti His
Second Coming."
Dr. Smith said that practically all
religious modernists believe in the
divinity of Christ In the sense that
they believed that In Hint was the
finest revelation of the kind of life
(iod wants all men to live. lie said
some modernists believe in the story
of tile virgin birth ns a blologlcnl
miracle; others do not. Those who
do not do not thereby hold the brief
record «s given in two of the gospels
as being untrue, but that we have
failed to properly understand and in
terpret It when taken in connection
with the rest of the record. He said
practically all religious modernists,
however, unite on the Idea that tt
is unwise to base faith in the divinity
of Jesus upon anything so unstable
as a physical fact that is subject to
change with the Investigations of the
coming generations. If, instead, we
'Aasc faith in Christ’s divinity upon
a spiritual truth, the great truth that
in Him was light, the moral and
spiritual light, of God, then we are
upon a foundation that can never be
moved.
He said modernists as a rule did
not believe in tlie second coming of
Christ in the sense that lie would
come again in the flesh and set up a
temporal kingdom here and rule the
world, but they believed that gradual
ly His spirit Is making its way Into
the world, and that, age by age, men
will slowly progress from grace to
grace and from glory to glory until
the kingdoms of this world shall be
come the kingdoms of Christ.

With colds and influenza all
too common just now, it pays
to take regular preventive
measures against them. Spray
your nose and throat night and
. morning with Zonite (direc
tions on the bottle). Prevention
js always easier, better and less
expensive than a cure.
Zonite—the remarkable, new
antiseptic — has the unique
power of destroying germs
without harming the delicate
tissues that germs thrive on.
It is several times as powerful
as pure carbolic acid—yet non
irritating and absolutely non
poisonous. At your druggist.

The Way Harriet Itnse t« Meet Her
Task.
“The children will he safely or
their way to the ship," I repeated
stupidly enough when Mrs. Bird had
outlined her plan for the fooling of
the watching detectives by the de
parture of two motor cars, empty,
save for the drivers, down the two
roads loading from her home. “But if
both roads are watched by men in
swift motor cars how arc you going
to get the children away before our
cars start."
,’Jt will be high tide by dark," Mrs.
Bird replied quietly.
“High tide! Oh!"—with sudden com
prehending remembrance of the small
structure half way to Hie bay which
the driver had told me was bout
house—“you mean they're to gel
away by boat."
"Kxactly!" she said. “Mrs. I'ndor
wood in this note tells me that pas
sage is all arranged on a ship, and
that she herself will be out in the
bay near here to-night on board a
good-sized boat which will stand by
ours until they both get . to a land
ing place where your people can be
transferred to the larger boat. After
that it will be easy."
“But suppose"—I began, then stop
ped diffidently.
“That the people trailing yon also
think of the bay?" she said. “Well,
that’s a risk we have to take, but 1
think it’s a light one. In the first
place, they’re not absolutely certain
you’re here. In the second place,
they haven't had time to do much
more than arrange for your trailing
by auto, and besides, I don’t think
It would occur to most men thai
women would be willing to take a
lot of children on a small boat Into
the bay. They’d figure we'd be
afraid of upsetting, or afraid in the
dark or something.’’
That little Mrs. Bird had battled
often with masculine disparagement
of her courage and her ability, was
easy to guess from her weary con
temptuous tone. But the next sec
ond she had dismissed from her mind
whatever grievance she hail and she
rose to her feet briskly.
All Skill Needed.
“You have a good two hours be
fore it will be safe to start." she
said. "Dinner will be ready to serve
in an hour. You can get everything
packed for them ready to go In that
time, can you not?"
“Ob, surely!" I promised readily.
“Th^n I’ll just help you over to
the rooms w ith the bundk s," she
said, picking up the packages near
est to her. “I ought to warn you,
however, that the boat will be very
crowded with your six passengers.”

I can have them wear double ward

my few accomplishments Is packing
for a journey."
"That's good. You’ll need alt your
skill,” she replied as we started for
the rooms where I had left lJr. and
Mrs. Bralthwait* and the Harrison
children. I paused with my hand
on the doorknob.
"Mow much do they know?” I
asked.
■"Nothing save what you told them
before you left." she rejoined. ‘‘Yoar

if she would accomplish any task

A glance told me that Harriet, In

children, washed and brushed within
the traditional inch of their lives, sat
emurely around a small table ab
sorbed in a game which Harriet had
