Uso what you have, and you'll get more. Don't uso It, and you'll loso what you have. Faith Is strengthened by use. "It Is by faith thnt wo get Into touch with God. It Is tho power thnt controls the world. If wo hud no faith wo would havo no olectrio lights, no trolley cars. You can't get married without faith fnlth that tho man you marry or tho woman you marry will bo truo. You can't send a letter without faith that Undo Snm will see that It Is deliv ered.

"Ms clothes grew old, but his faith was strong and ho kept on working and finally ho had tho sowing machine, Ell Whitney had faith In the cotton gin long beforo ho had ever seen one. Ho per sisted for years until It stood complete. Everybody who has accomplished any thing has first believed. There would havo been no Jewish nation If Abraham had not faith. "Faith Is what gives a man backbone In science, literature, education and In agriculture. Faith Is to tho soul what gravitation is to tho earth. A gravita tion draws us toward tho centre of tho earth, so fnlth makes mo gravitate to ward God, Instead of toward tho saloon. I cannot touch God with my hand, but I can) touch Him by faith.

William U Sullivan, of New York, who preached last night at the First Unitarian Church, 22d and Chestnut streets, on "The Spiritual Power of a Liberal Faith," Mr, Sullivan also deplored the prac tice of seeking fleshly representation of things holy. He answered the objection often made to such a worship as he pro posed by declaring that It was not "too thin." but "too deep." He said In parti "God is everywhere. He Is within our own souls. And Ms power Is as great today as It was at tho time when He Is' supposed to nave spoiicn runi juouni Slpal. "Too many religions give us the Idea that God did great things a long time, ago. He la performing marvelous works beforo ua now It we would only have the eyes to see them. We must not glvo Mm and Ms message geographical and historical limits. We must not speak of Ms wondrous doing In the past tense, as there Is a certain definitely discernible tendency to do In some religions." The Bev. Charles E. St John, minister of the church, followed the Ilev. Mr. Sul livan. He gave the Unitarian conception of Christianity. ,..., "We call ourselves true Christians and have the cross hanging on the walls of our church," he said, "because that cross symbolizes the undying eternal faith of every Unitarian, We recognize In Jesus a great t&achtr, a religious leader who dared to be (rue to Ms faith. Had He been willing to accept unquestionably all of the forms and rites of the Hebrew re ligion to which He was born He might have died a respected rabbL But He was not willing to do that He served God and went to the cross for III faith.

"The Old Time Quality" eing a Recital of Certain Facts About Furniture and About the W or ? s M os Celebrated of Furniture You have heard much of the character of the furniture of the old days. Of the furniture that took long in build ing, that was put together with the care of a violin and the strength of steel. Of the furniture that came down through generation after generation, and was treasured and cared for as something enduring and wonderful and priceless. And yet how little of it actually did come down! Perhaps one piece in a thou sand or even less. Something was wrong with the rest of it; the cheap pieces never endured; the imi tation fine pieces didn't last; the inartistic pieces disappeared somewhere as generation succeeded generation. Only Really Fine Furniture Has the Lasting Quality! Twenty or thirty years ago ther.e came upon the market a tremendous flood of cheap and ugly furniture. It was at the time when great furniture mills were starting up all over the country and machinery was fast driving out the hand craftsman.' The first machinery makers of furniture made it very badly. They were learning a new art, and their productions were fast and crude. Some of the mills are still going ahead at it slam, bang and hurrah! turning out a chair a minute almost and never caring how bad it is so long as it will sell. There was a time along about the height of the cheap furniture craze when we considered going out of the furniture business because the goods available were so iroor. But we didn't go out; we went after the manufacturers instead. And soon we be gan to get better furniture; then better Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be "In spection Days'9 in advance of the Furniture Sale. and better. The manufacturers were learn ing their new business. The old hand-craftsman art was revived and flourishes again. For while there are some things about furniture that machinery can do a hundred times better than hand-driven tools could ever do, there are some things that it takes the living hand of an artist craftsman to do. Finally, the combination of the' highest development of machinery and H- best of hand-work brings us now Fine Furniture in Great Quantities at Low Prices The "Old-Time Quality" has come back' not in a few piVies of furniture, but in furniture by the tnousands of pieces. In the Celebrated February Furniture Sale at Wanamaker's there will be tens and tens of thousands of pieces of furniture of the "Old-Time Quality" and every piece of it of the kind that is fit to go down from father to son and from son to grandson and be treasured for its strength and its beauty as much as for its associations. The Celebrated' February Sale of Furniture will prove that this is a better furniture age than ever was beiore in the world. JOHN WANAMAKER ' i A H it 1 KB 1 r u 4 as J Jit .!
