Man's Impieties and Faith Recounted in Hodges Sermon
The Rev. E Rattenbury Hodges of England preached at South Congregational Church on the theme from Corinthians, arguing that natural knowledge is limited, faith guides truth, and a future revelation will complete understanding. He warned against dogmatizing on spiritual matters and urged reliance on faith rather than intellect alone. The sermon contrasted the imperfect mirror of conscience with divine truth and cited Astrea’s legend to illustrate partial views of truth. Eastern Yacht Club hosts its annual regatta at Marblehead with 10:30 am start and expected entries in FS and 40-foot classes. Marblehead harbor shows a busy scene with over 100 yachts anchored and cruising in calm conditions.
