MUSIC TO MAKE CONVERTS. Onlv $1.50 a Year? Hades to Be Discredited by Sect That Will Establish New Church In Washington—Women to Dance and Sing—Would Abolish Blue Laws. DodiirliiK that the laws of most chi;rein's are puritanical in character and the Sunday observance regulation ; of the IMstrict of Columbia top strict and that this situation is “driving many pood citizens to dens of iniquity and vice.” an attempt is lieinp made by the Rev. Theodore Valiant, an evangelist, to found a new sect in Washington, to Ik* known as the Hap piness church. Rehind the movement are n number of members of the Per sona! Liberty league. At an open air meeting at Luna Park the? other night the principles of the ‘new denomination were set forth. One of them, according to the Wash iugton Post. Is to overthrow the “blue laws” now in force in the District of Columbia and i>ennit tin* people to en gage in sports and other recreations on the Sabbath. It was announced that the new sect will apply for articles of incorporation early in the autumn and that services for the members will not be held in any particular building. Out of doors pulpits will be used as often as pos sible. The meeting recently held was the second of a series to l>e given Ibis summer. The Rev. Mr. Valiant was the princi pal speaker, and his strictures upon conditions were closely followed. Ills audience gave him especially close* at tention when he predicted the death of the “blue laws" and declared the church of the future will offer its mem bers such attractions as are to be found In amusement parks such as the one in which he spoke! “Music, merrimeut and smiling faces will l*e fmporlant features of the re ligion of the future,” the Rev. Valiant said. “As In the olden times, men and women will lie won hack to God from depravity and crime in Just such gath erings as this. There will be the dancing women, the cymbal players, the singers and the games. Just as there were in the days of Moses and Solomon. Morbidity and solemnity ate the twin children of mother evil. Crime is hatched where mirth is not; depravity flourishes in the shades of secretiveness. “The old hell of the old religion, with its flaming fires. Its dancing imps in leather hides, its catacomb of dead hopes and its fumes of sulphur, is a thing of the past. It was adroitly em ployed to frighten peoplit into the church. Today the modern religion does not prey upon the fears and ig norance of the people. It says God is love. God is light, God Is happiness. It bids you come ta church with ac claims of Joy, It presents a church in which you may smile and from the portals of which piorbldity and fea-r have been banished. r .1 “The church of the future that will make the most converts for God’s cause and the betterment of humanity is the church that will offer Its mem bers sudi a (tractive features as we And in the park this pleasant July Sunday morning -music and light and harmless games and the laughter of Joyousness. "My friends, lie iy>t deceived. Our Father does not want us to approach him with buig faces and downcast eyes. Go to him with happiness beam ing from your countenance and over flowing from your heart. Take a les son in happiness from his creatures, the birds with their songs of praise, the glittering fishes as they flirt about like flashing suntieums in the silvery waters or the animals as they gambol on the greensward. Crime and de pravlty are unknown to such of God’s creatures. It Is left for man to be morbid and sorrowful—and sinful. “There is no crime in the entrancing strains of music, no sin In the simple means of enjoyment called games, no ■ecretlveness nor wrongdoing in this bright and cheerful glare of God's elec tricity. "Blue laws and fanaticism will find no place in the religion of the future There will be more recreation parks in the new order of things and very much less Ignorance, sorrow and crime. In the good book it is related that God’s smile is reflected in the happiness of his people. Such being the case, God must lie smiling most benignly on this gathering, where all is Joy and happi ness. Those of you who profess to be Christians, I beseech you, do not sock to take away the Joys of the peo ple by imposing fanatical conditions upon them. Do not waste your ener gies upon that which does no harm— except you regard happiness as harm. Rather go ye as God has commanded out into the sin darkened highways and into the gloomy hedges and seek poor, downcast, sinful humanity and lining them to the light. “Search not here, for if ye do ye will not find the sinful and the unhappy, but the contented and the happy. May God’s brightest blessing be upon yon all." A Live Scarecrow. Tied Small, on his farm In Swnn- \i!!e.
