William A Blkllilli
Rev. 8. P. Fairbanks Says Too Many
Are Shillong Responsibilities
The SEI‘V’lCES of tlle East avenue M.
E. Church yesterday. called out un—
usual congregations both morning and
evening. tllat of the evening being
perhaps the largest that has yet at-
tended any of these services. ill ad-
dition to the regular preaching ser-
vices, there was held ill the after-
noon, a service for men only which the
pastor addressed and which proved
to be one of the most gratifying in its
results ill a series of meetings which
have attracted attention not only in
the Third District, but throughout the
town, and ill adjacent townships as
well. Speaking to the men the pits-
tor said:
"During these services our hearts
have been gladdencd by the sight of
men and women turning unto right-
eousness; the heart beat of the church
has been quickened and throbs with
a new life; we have, much, very lunch
to be thankful for. and yet, the sweep.
ing revival that we have hoped and
prayed for has not as yet been pour-
ed upon us. There are many indict»
lions that the spirit of the living God
is working ill our midst, and hearts
have been quickened and souls rs
deemed, wily not the plenteous show-
ers? We lack the burden. (lod pity
the church member without a burden.
in the midst of the conditions of our
time. i am astonished that so few
are carrying a burden. Mon and
women are rushing on in lnad haste
along the road to everlasting destruc-
tion, and the responsibility is to a
large extent upon the men.
“Why is it that there are so few
young men in our church today? Why
are the prayer meetings made up
mostly of women? Where are the
men? A good many men think the
minister is a handy man to have
around at a wedding. and quite nec~
essary at a funeral. but at no other
time do they give him or his church
a thought. Have you thought, what
will happen to the church iii the im-
mediate tuture without the support of
the men. The conditions in this town
are alarming. The very foundations
of out land are shaking. Tile very
elements of our national life that have
been our glory, by their lack have be-
come our shame. The foundations of
our morality are crumbling.
“The ‘Decllne and Fall of the Amer-
ican Republic‘ is the handwriting upon
the wall, Immorality has broken down
the sanctity of our marriage relation.
We want love; illicit love, not chil-
dren. Race suicide is threatening the
life of the nation. We need mothers.
not mistresses. The nameless abom—
inable places of unspeakable iniquity
among us are dropping our sons and
daughters into the bottomless pit; the
devil's hopper is full. Judgment awaits
us. Think not that with the nations
of Europe at death grappels, we shall
escape. We shall not escape. Our
Bible has been thrown out of our put)
lic schools, and ill it's stead we have
the dance, the stage. God is dishon-
ored.
“Eighty—seven years ago, a ballet
dancer appeared for the first time on
the stage of a Bowery theatre, and
the women ill the audience rose in a
body and left the theatre. Today our
Sundayschool teachers; our official
members go to our seashore resorts
to watch by the hour, a female trapeze
proformer without the apology of a
skirt. go through her contortions.
Judgment awaits this nation. The
things that we condone, admire and‘
applaud, are as black as hell itself; ‘
but we put them on the shoulder, in-
vite them to our platforms; we set
up our little church stage while whole
squads of our children are going to
hell. Ten years ago the dress of tol
day would have disgraced any decent'
woman forever. Men will drink to
gather; men will play cards to
gather; but men will not dance to-
gether. Why? The dance is food for
passion. A man is allowed privileges
in the dance that he is accorded 110'
where else. Says a dancing masteri
otter twenty years' experience, (and
before the dirty, vulgar dances in
vogue today were inaugurated) ’I[ am!
convinced that twothirds of the glrlsl
who go wrong, start on the dancel
floor. Now official members of!
churches send their daughters to]
