CENTENARY PLEA HEARD The fundamental nature of faith in the Christian religion was empha sised yesterday morning at West Market, Street Methodist church by Dr. J. H. Barnhardt, who at the same time told of his conception of the vital presence of God In the world. "He that cometh to God must be lieve that he Is, and that he is a io warder of them that diligently seek him," a doctrinal statement from the sixth verse of the 11th chapter of Hebrews, constituted the minister's text. That chapter. Dr. Barnhardt declared, is "the finest commentary to be found on the subject of applied Christianity." No man Is stronger than his faith, said the preacher, "and no man Is mightier In the sum total of his capa bilities than he Is In his religious convictions." Men may be skeptical regarding other questions, but us 'to ths foundational aspect of Christian faith they must be clear. Faith has been prescribed as the only condition upon which man may ever find Gol; conversely, If the foundation (faith) be defective, "the structure, however Imposlng and majestic. Is In conatant peril of destruction." The consciousness of God planted In ths heart of a Rlnner is his ever open avenue of appn.uh to God, It Is an absolutely sure fnjndation. Dr. Barnhardt declared the Christian re ligion ."literally takes a man out of the realm of doubt and pieces htm In a world of absolute certainty; so that he can stand In the deepest shadow of scientlfls and philosophic mystery the accumulation of multi plied generations and look beyond ths lowering clouds of doubt, where shines perpetually the sunlight of hope, and cry out with all the assur ance of actual possession, '1 know In whom i hav6 believed.' " In harmony with the demand for o sure foundation God has built the plan of redemption. "He does not require us to embrace Christianity at the risk of anything." And although faith Is essential to salvation, It la not a blind falih, hut a- faith aided by reason and good Judgment. Dr. Barnhardt held that the church has no right to change the single oondltlon upon which the Christian life la founded faith. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou Shalt be saved." That Is the Bible for mula of salvation, the only true formula: "but we have added to that simple divine condition, whether con sciously or unconsciously It matters not, our own private opinions and notions until we have well-nigh bur led the original requirements be neath a mass of superfluities which have been accumulating through the centuries with the result that we are now requiring of those who would snter Into life, conditions which are both absent from the Bible and for eign to the design of the almighty." Thus men are driven from the church because of man-made tests that do not harmonise with the divine test. God reveals hjmselt in two ways, In nature and In grace, the minister told the great congregation, and "nature Is aa truly inspired as any book :n the Bible; it Is .as true and real a manifestation ot the divine mind as Is Calvary, and may be no more Ig nored In the final estimate of God than the cross may bs Ignored." He referred to the universe aa "the sparkling garment of God." adding that "the almighty may be seen In mountain and sea and sun and flower." Furthermore, "God la no absentee from th unlverss he has made; he Is necessarily omnipresent in tne cosmos. Direct spiritual revelations also are vouchsafed God's people. 'His spirit bears witness with ...our spirits that we are the. children of 'God,". Dr. Barnhardt quoted as "a true epitome of the whole Christian life."- Today men may heaf God speak. The psalms of David were born of the shepherd a communion with nis L,ord "today the psalms of life rise from a million tongues inspiration Is not dead, the heart la full of song." - Rev. C. C. Hounehell, of Nashville. Tenn., talked briefly at 'the morning service, referring to the vital import' anco of payment of the centenary pledges. Such action Is absolutely essential to the continued prosecu tion of the world mission program of the church, ha said. The work. Is being painfully halted because of de lay In payments. The offertory solo by Mrs. W. C. Boren, Jr., waa a notable feature of the morning aervlce. Dr. Barnhardt breached a forceful sermon last night, gsuumnB Wesley Class Te Meet. The regular monthly meeting of the Susanna Wesley lllble class of the Spring Garden Methodist church will be held this afternoon at 11:110 o'clock at the home of Mrs. W. A.

Booths will be established for the sale of seals at various other places throughout the city. Locations of the booths will be announced later. In the campaign this year business firms and individuals will not be so licited for contributions and the only opportunity offered the public to help In the work will be through the pur chase of Christmas seals. This an nouncement was made Sunday by the Greensboro District Nurse and Relief committee, which has accomplished most successful results In the light it 'has long waited against tubercu losis. of the funds raised by the sale of seals, it waa announced 75 per cent will remain In the community to be used for the prevention of tubercu losis -and tho care of those afflefed with tho disease; 15 per cent will go to tho state-wide work and the remaining- 10 per cent will go to tho national campaign fund.

(By As sociated Press.) Protection for the allied commission in Bavaria Is Im possible if they da not want to be protected and do not advise the po lice authorities of purposed visits to various localities. Is semt-offlclatly announced as the standpoint of the Bavarian government regarding the attacks on the Inter-allled military control offices at PnsBau and Ingold- stadt. In view of this attitude the Bavarian administration holds that the allied demands for Indemnity are unjustified and untenable In Interna tional law. Calling attention to the alleged aim of the commissions to keep secret their plans of visits in order to drop in unexpectedly on communlties,( the government asserts that it Is under standable, humanly and- politically. why such excursions "In tho midst of peace" will not be borne willingly by the Bavarian people. Yet, it is stated the government thinks excuses could be admitted as due the allies because such attacks are regretted by the administration. The govern ment is declared to be ready at any time to assume the protection ot en tente commissions. The above attitude lis expected to he announced In the diet tomorrow by Premier vol Knilling. Meanwhile conferences have been proceeding be tween the premier and the minister of Interior, but these have been ren dered difficult of accomplishment through the fact that quick consul tation with tho Berlin government is impossible because snow storms have broken down the telephone lines. It Is generally feared here that the Berlin irovernment AR-aln will adopt the attitude of yielding to the entente. This apprehension was ex pressed at a large mass meeting of the nsttnnslist ocranlzations held In ..viunicn Haiurnay. It is commonly believed that the recent demands' have not exactly created new discontent among the masses because the dislike of France among the liavnrians is of long standing, and the larsre number of veterans of the war of 1870 still 11 v lna- are not slow to relate instances of alleged Injustices the Germans suf fered during the occupation of, France. The antipathy for France reached such heights at yesterday's meeting that the leaders of the movement had to exhort the thousanda present to remain calm. The assemblage passed a resolution demanding un conditional rejection of the entente demands on Ingoldstadt and Passau and a firm attitude on the part of the central government against the allied ultimatum and thanked the Bavarian government for the steps it has taken In ths situation. The resolution also demanded the abrogation of the new law for the de tense of the republic and the release of Captain Ehrhardt who was ar rested some time ago and. taken to Lelpsic for trial for participation In the Kapp coup. Ehrhart was de scribed In the resolution as "a fel low combatant In the battle of the Skaggcrrak." Other demands In eluded tbe deportation of non -Ba varian dealers In the community market; sharp control of production ana export; greater restrictions on foreigners and the death penalty for all profiteers and speculators. The adoption of. the resolutions was followed by an Impressive ad dress by Dp. Roth, former minister of justice in which he assailed the parliamentary system nad advocated a national dictatorship. W'Hh regard to the Cuno ministry Dr. Roth said Because this cabinet Is not at the apex of the national movement It will not have long life. Will the cab inet show the necessary firmness against the French ultimatum? God grant that the German government may npt constitute Itself the exe cutioner for the French lnt4ntlon at Humiliation."

Delivering the annual Thanksgiv ing sermon to the Junior Order of United American Mechanics at First Reformed church Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. H. A. Fesperman, said Industrial activity, abundant crops and spiritual blessings are divine dispensations for which devout thanks should be especially given. Following the service, which was largely attended, a special offering was taksn for the orphans home at Tlffon. Ohio. A solo by Miss Jordan was a pleasing feature of the service The text for the sermon was Luke 17:17; "But where are the nine'" "Jesus faced a world," said Mr. Fesperman, "that waa to a large ex tent unkind, ungrateful and utiap preciattve. As he snd.his disciples TwSre'Valklng one day near a certain village, 10 men came toward them crying out 'unclean, unclean.' Jesus knew what that meant, and as he looked upon that company of afflict ed men, he saw back of eaoh man's life a story of pathos. Some were fathers and husbands, denied the com forts and blessings of home and loved ones. Others of this miserable com pany were young men, and .forced thus to eke an existence through long days and nights. So his heart went out to this band1 of lepers, and he commanded them to go and show thsmselves to the priest. As they went they observed, that they had been made whole. How happy they must have been. But only one turned to speak a word of appreciation and gratitude. Let us today not throw stenes at these remaining nine who forgot to say . thank you' until we have thoroughly examined our own hearts. Do not we fsll to say thanks to the giver of all that Is good today? Per haps ws have not been liberated from such a terrible disease, but do we rightly appreciate our wonderful na tural blessings, that too many ot us taks for granted? Do we appreciate our two good eyes? Perhaps, when we see a blind' man on the street. Do we appreciate our good legs and Bound bodies? Perhaps, when we see a man In a wheel chair. Thess blessings, and many others we take for granted, but should we not say 'thank you' occasionally? Thought lessness and stubborn pride keep us from expressing our gratitude to God, when so often we should. "But. what are some of the causes that serve aa special reminders of the goodness of the almighty this past year? "First, we should thank God today for industrial activity. Mills and factories and various Industries are running full time today and every man In our city, who wants a Job, has one. Very few unemployed men are found In Greensboro today. And what a blessing Is work. We ought al ways -to thank God for work. The ranks of this order are filled largely with men who work. Every night when we He down to sleep, we ought to thank God that we had something to do that day. Every morning wnen we arise from our beds we ought to thank God that we have a Job to go to. "Second, we ought to thank God for abundant crops. The earth has brought forth plentifully this past year, and we have enough to eat and to spare. When other nstlons snd peoples cry out In distress for food we should he grateful that we can lend a helping hand. When a city of our great commonwealth Is vtslted with a great fire that makes thou sands homeless how grateful we ought to be that we can help. When the children of other nations cry out with nunger, what a blessing to be able to give them bread. 'Third, we ought to thank God for our spiritual blessings. Our city has risen called 'a well churched city.' We ought to be grateful right here in Greensboro that our church fa cilities are so abundant. No man, no woman, nseds to hunger for the Gos pel here. But Is Greensboro using her spiritual facilities? Are we mak ing them known, are we Inviting others to our spiritual feasts? In this country at large the church ha had large Expansion during the past year. Great gains have been chalked A Girl Likes to Have You Remember Her Birthday But Not Her Birthdays! Same with buying Christmas gifts for men A man who was born in 1866 doesn't like to be reminded of it in your gift to him. All men are young at Holiday time and silk shirts reach further into men's hearts than something that will tell them they are get ting along in years !

The Rhodes Always up and we need to be grateful that his church Is marching on. "The Junior Order ought to be especially grateful that they have been privileged to help the orphan and. the widow during the past year and that they have been able to bring some joy to thousands of homes In which death has come.
