Last Night's Sermon
"BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR
AND KNOCK'
"Text: 'Behold I stand at tho door and
knock; If any man henr My voice and
open the door, I will come In to him, nnd
wilt sup with him, and ho with Me.'
Revclatlons, III, 10.
"That Is a part of a message from
.TesUB Christ, delivered through John on
tho Island of Pntmos, nnd It wns meant
for tho Christians of that day. Some
of those to whom It was addressed hnd
heard tho matchless precepts of Jesus
ns they fell from Ills own lips, and
omo of those who had enjoyed that
prlvllcgo had become npathctlc nnd wore
deserving of rebuko.
"I can seo many splendid signs on the
horizon of your day and mine. I sco
tho churches growing in equipment. 1
seo church membership Increasing. Tho
wave of religious zeal aroused In the
latter part of tho seventeenth century by
Wesley nnd Whitfield has not lost Its
force, although It seems nnw n Vinvn
many things In opposition to it. Tho
forco Is there, but thero seems to bo
something lacking that was In the early
church when Jesus spoke to John on
Patmos and snld, 'Behold, I stand nt the
door nnd knock.' When Jesus said that
He said, 'Tako your pen and write that
down, John. I want them to know It.'
"What is it that is lacking in our church
today? Not the means nnd not the num
bers. Wo want to loam that beautiful
rituals and fine churches nro of little
worth In themselves. They weight not at
all with God. If we only knew how llttlo
God cares for that sort of thing! They
are nil right, but they are not the im
portant thing, nnd they nro not enough.
Wo havo music that's all right. Wo have
society tho soclnl side of the church
and that's all right; but we make Jesua
Christ stand outside. 'How sharper than
a serpent's tooth ls It to have a thank
less child?' It Is true that 'Man's inhu-
mnilltv tn trtnn milf.. nA..nlAn .t... .
...,, ,u ....... ......wo i-uuiiiium wiuuu.inus
mourn," but think how worso It Is to be
cold to Jesus. We allow Jesus Christ to
watt outside.
RELIGION YOUR WILL.
"Your religion Is In your will, not in
your handkerchief. It is your nttltude
toward God that determines your re
ligion. A sinner has no standing with
God absolutely no standing whatever;
religion Is a matter of obedience to the
commandments of God, sin is disobedi
ence. If your will ls not In conformity
with tho will of God you are not re
ligious. "A man said to me, 'It's so hard to get
acquainted with God. I said: 'No, it's
tho easiest thing in the world. If God
Is not In your life it's because you don't
want Him In.'
"How do you know God will accept
you? Well, I'll bo a Yankee In this case
and answer your question by asking you
another: 'What ls that something within
you which reaches out for something you
have not; that makes you respect that
which Is noble and long for that which
Is good; that which mnde some of you
come here tonight; what Is It?' You
know what It Is the hunger of tho hu
man heart for God. God put that hunger
there, and it ls Ills proof that Ho will
accept you If you come. How nro you
to know? Let me ask If you would let
God como in If you did know,
"What Jesua said centuries ago Is still
true it still has power to savo, it Is Just
as much for us as It was for the people
of Ills day. In Egypt they dug up from
the longrforgotten tomb a mummy that
had been placed thero 3500 years ago,
and when they unwrapped the clothes
about It there fell out a few grains of
wheat. They planted these shriveled
grains In the fertile valley of the Nile,
and they Bprouted and grew, and when
they were ripened they saved the seed,
and today there are thousands of bushels
of wheat from thnt seed that had lain
In the mummy's tomb during the centu
ries. Theso W'ords of Jesus apply as
much today as when Jesus uttered them.
They have power to make the drunkard
sober, they have power to save every
sinner in 1'lttsburgn.
MUST HAVE CHRIST.
"The religion of Jesus ls something
more than n syBtem of morals. Thero
Is not Christianity where Jesus Is left
out. I can preach Mohammedanism with
out Mohammed, I can preach Buddhism
without Budda. I can preach Zoroas
terlsm without Zoroaster, In each of
these there ls a line of doctrine without
any especial need of Its founder, but
without Christ there can be no Christian
ity. It Is not only a code for living It
Is n personality, a living link between
man and tho Father. I cannot preach
Jesus unless I accept Jesus Christ.
"Jesus says: 'If you will open the door
I will come In and prove my power
through your life.' A man says to me,
'Well, I serve God.' I ask him how,
I go to church,' he says. I say: 'So
does the devil and he beats you to it,
at that. The church bell never rlnga that
he Isn't on the Job.' But the man says:
'I give.' I say; 'So does the saloon
keeper and the brewer; so does the
woman of the red light she always
throws something Into the collection
plate.' The man says: 'I pray.' t say:
'So does everybody when they're up
against It.' There Isn't a person who
doesn't pray Borne time. You prayed
when you were sick and you thought thnt
the undertaker was coming to measure
you and tell them how long to dig the
grave. You pray to God to stop the flood
and wnen tie stops ic you say; -uoouoy,
God.'
"You work? Some of you are like the
man who was hired ' ty a farmer. He
Bat at the table and nte and ate, and
by and by the farmer came In and asked
when he was going to' work. 'Why,' the
fellow said, 'don't I always come to
meals when I am called? Don't I always
eat a Jot? Don't I praise your wife's
cooking? Don't I -Bleep In the bed you
told me to sleep In? What more would
you have?' The farmer said: Yes, you
are always on hand when meals are
ready, and you eat tilt I sometimes think
I'll have to praise tay wife's cooking and
you sleep where you were told, but I
want you to go to work. I am paying
you so much a day to go out Into the
field and repay me with work.
LIKE HIRED MAN.
"Some of you are like that hired man.
You eat two meals on Sunday and take
a cold lunch on Wednesday night, and
then It somebody asks you why you don't
work for God you look hurt and say.
you't l g& to church?' That is why so
many outsiders say all you do Is to go
to church and kep out of mlschlef-yes,
and a lot of you In Philadelphia don't even
do that. lv t no wonder that so ninny
people sny: 'Well, If those people are
Christians 1 don't llko the bunch. They're
not my kind of a crowd.' That's why
you don't win men for Christ.
''! cn."'t ,milcrt'id how you enn keep
still when God offers so much nnd hell
Is so terrible, tt Is said that a boy who
was ticnf and dumb saw a man about to
kill King Croesus with a sword; nnd his
honor was so great that It burst the
impediment of his speech and ho ciird
out, -Don't slay the king!' An auto
mobile wns struck by nn express train
at a crossing down In Connecticut last
summer nnd all of Us six pnBsciiBors
were killed except one llttlo boy who
hud been deaf nnd dumb. The shock
wns so great that he found his voice nnd
cried 'HelpJ Help!' I don't see how nny
body on God's dirt ran keep fltlll when
so ninny nro In danger.
"You say, 't feed the hungry.' So do
r. You say you do it In tho name of
humanity, f do it in the name of Jesus.
When you do It In the name of humanity
It xvlll die. When It Is done In tho name
of Jesus It Is written down for nil eter
nity. And let inn tell you this you who
talk so much of hutnnnttnrlnnlsin, there
waB no humnnltnrlantmn before Jesus
came. Jesus Is tho name thnt builds
homes, tho name thnt Inspires character,
the name that sobers the drunkntd, tho
name that sets the libertine free, the
nnmo that will transform this old world
nnd make It a paradise of pence.
BASK lNOUATITUDU
"'Behold, 1 stnnd nt tho door and
knock.' Tho Ulcplt we havo pictured
In our drenms must come through Jesus.
How ungrateful then to keen out of
your life an Influence that wants to help
you. A friend of mlnr who had heard
me tell a story told me thnt ho hnd wit
nessed the incident, or ono Just llko It
nt tho bnttlo of Antlctnm. It' was on n
Pitt of tho field whpto the Federals were
pressing after retreating Confederates,
and n Federal colonel saw n wounded
Confederate lying tu tho binzlng huh. llo
dropped down beside the man and gave,
him water from his canteen, then spnko
kindly to him nnd started nway. The
Confederate used what strength he- hnd
to raise a rifle. Ho took aim and the
bullet crashed through tho colonel who
had Just befriended him. That was an
net fnr better than that of the nmn who
keeps Jesus Christ out of his hem I.
"Many years ago n steamer left Niw
Tori: bound for foreign poita, and when
tho pimsciigers assembled for dinner a
man whose muscles on one .side of his
fnrc wero all drawn, so that Ills nppenr
mice was most unusual, came In and sat
down. After tills meal tho ladles nt
whose table he had sat went to tho cap
tain and said: 'Captain, please sco that
that man nover MUi ut our table ngaln.
His face Is hideous. Vo never can eat if
you don't take him away from our
table.' The captain promised to do whnt
he could, nnd he sought out the man and
told him what the ladles had said. The
man took It very kindly, but he snld,
Just lot me take my supper at thnt table
and 1 11 never nek you to lot mo eat there
ngaln. Just do thnt, and I'll eat In tho
steerage for the remainder of tho voy-
:. n juu say no.
"The captain agreed, and when the man
came to the supper table he said: 'La
dies, my mother was left a widow when
I wan very young. She was poor nnd
had to go out und do washing Tor n
living. 1 had a little sister, and one day
when mother was away at work tho
houso caught fire. I ran in to get my
little ttister. I wrapped her In a blanket
and got through the flames with her, but
one Bldo of my face was unprotected na
I did so, and I was burned. That Is why
my face is no drawn. If you could seo
my slater, you would say she was hand
some. Now the captain lias told mo
what you said to him, and 1 am willing
to leave your tnble.' But tho ladles
would not havo It so. They said: 'Sit
down. If you. leave our table wo will
not havo a desire to eat any more. You
aro the handsomest man we ever saw.
Wo want you to stay and cat with us.'
That man wns ox-Attorney General
Brewster. The .protest of those ladlea
was nohle compared to tho act of those
who keep Jesus outside.
"It Is a wonderful book from which we
tako our text. It is tho lovo of God that
keeps Him from striking us down In our
sins today. , ,,',35
GOD'S LOVE BOU.VDLKSS.
"How can any man fail to respect Jesus
OhrIM? I'll confess 1 can't understand
It. Why, It Is nothing hut tho lovo of
God that keeps Him from sweeping the
world into hell. He brought about that
awful tragedy on Calvary through Ills
love for men. Ho said, 'If the world
won't como after that It won't como at
all.' Note Calvary's appeal to thn rela
tion of son to father! Kvery man has
been or will be n son or n father. God
knew that In touching tho string that
blnda son to father He wns touching ono
of tho tenderest strings of the human
heart.
"I see two lives start from tho same
home. One accepts Jesus and the other
repudiates Him.
"Right whero the two roads through llfo
diverge God has put Calvary. There HIa
put up a cross, 'the stumbling block over
which the love of God snld, "I'll touch the
heart of man with the thought of father
nnd son. He thought that would win
the world to Hlni, but for WOO years men
have climbed the Mount of Calvary und
trampled Into tho earth the tenderest
teachings of God. Tell me get right up
and tell me, If you can, here In Phila
delphia, how much more God could have
done to keep you out of hell! If you
think He could have done uny moro get
up. I'd like to look at you! I'd llko tu
see what Kind of a mutt you are.
"After Jesus rose Ho said to His disci
ples, 'Go back tu Jerusalem and tell that
man who stabbed mo that there Is a
shorter way to My heart than his spear
found. Tell xho man who put tho crown
of thorns on My head that I've got a
crown of eternal glory now; nnd tell
them that I forgive them.'
"Down in Jacksonville, Fin., a man,
Judge Owen, quarreled with his be
trothed, nnd to try and forget he went
oft and worked In a yellow fever hoapl.
tal. Finally he caught the disease and
had succumbed to It. He had passed the
critical stage of the disease, but he was
dying. One day the lady, his sweet
heart, met the physician on the street
and asked about the Judge. 'He's sick,'
he told her. 'How bad?' Bite asked.
'Well, he's pasted the critical stage, but
he Is dying,' the doctor told her. 'But J
don't understand,' sho suld, 'If he's
past the critical stage why he Isn't
getting well.' 'Ho'a dying, of undying
Jove for you, not the fever,' the doctor
told her.
CURED BY LOVE.
"She asked him to come with her to a
florist and he went and there she pur
chased some itmllax and Intertwined lilacs
and wrote on a card, 'With my love,'
and signed htr given name. The doctor
went hack to the hospital, and his pa

laid the flowers on his breast and he
awoke and saw the flowers and burled hU

doctor,,' he said, but the doctor said.
They are not from me.' Then who are
they from?' 'Cluees!' 'I can't: tell me.'
' I think you'll And the name on the
card,' the doctor told him, and he looked

On tho ninth dny there was n quiet wed

laugh, but listen. This old world Is like
a hospital. Hero are the wards for the
libertines. Hero nro the wards for the
drunkards. Here are the wards for the
blasphemers. Kvcywhero 1 look I see

"Nineteen hundred years ago God look
ed over tho battlements of heaven and
he picked n basket of flowers, and then
one day He dropped a baby Into the man
ger, nt Bethlehem, and when the wise
men saw Him they read, 'For God eo
loved the world that He gave His only
becotten Son that whosoever belleveth on
Him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life.' What more can He do?
"But God didn't spare Him. They cru

"When I quit baseball I went Into In

nnd the object seemed to say, 'Come on

The polite thing to do is to knock. If
you bolt In you're a burglar. Some nf
you havo been kind enough to invite
me to go home with you for a me.l. I
don't go much, not that I'm fastidious or
cranky, but I can't stand It. Your hos
pltnllty would kill me. You expect me
to talk nnd entertain you, nnd r have to
do ns much work na preaching a sermon.
Then I can't eat ul tho Hood things you
would set before me, so you would get
mad and say I didn't llko your cooking.
I hnve to deny myself a good many
pleasures to keep myself In physical shape
"Supposing I hndn't accepted an invita
tion and I'd walk up to your home and
never ring the bell, Just walk In, hang
up my coat and hut and pick up a paper
and start to reading. You would come
in and say: 'Why, how do you do, Mr.
Sunday?' I'd say. 'Very well; I Just
came up to cat dinner with you.' You'd
say: 'Oh, I'm delighted,' and you'd know
you wero lying all the time. 'Was the
door unlocked?" 'Oh, no, I Just walked
In.' 'Why, by the way, did I ask you
today or did you tell me you were com
ing?' 'Oh, no; I Just came nnd I want
some dinner.' You know how welcome
I'd be.
"I see a cood many houses around tn
tho city. You've got some of tho most
beautiful homes I over saw. Supposing
1 should see a nice house nnd I'd take
a notion to stay there nnd I'd go up to
the party In and tell them to puck up.
that we were going to move, and we'd
get the express and move our trunks nnd
drlvo up to tho house nnd go up the
steps. And I'd say I'll take that front
room, It looks nice nnd light, nnd about
that time the owner would come In nnd
say: 'What aro you doing here?" 'Oh.
we're going to say here tho rest of the
time.' 'And who are you?' 'Oh, you
haven't been to the meetings. Why, I'm
Mr. Sunday and this Is my party, and
we're going to say here for the time
we're In Philadelphia.
FOR YOU TO OPEN.
"Supposing we did that. Wo would bo
no more welcome thun God would be
If He forced His way tn. He says: 'If
you Invite me in I'll come, but If you
don't I wont.'
"Jesus says: 'I'll knock and you can
let me In.' He'll never break In against
your will. 'Behold! I stand at the door
und knock.'
"Thero aro several things some of you
have done since these meetings began.
First, some of you have opened the door
nnd let Him in. Thank God. Second,
some of you have your hand on the
latch, but you ate afraid to open It.
Some havo turned n deaf ear to the
devil, but some have turned a listening
ear to the world. Some have said, 1
will not let Him In.'-
"Others havo let him In, but He's up in
the spare room. Ever see a spare room?
It'a usually up In the northwest corner,
two blocks away from any Are. It's
where you put the preachers and the pre
siding elders when they come to visit
you. I'd Just as soon sleep between two
cukes of ice us in a spare room, I'd Just
as soon sleep in a sepulchre as In a
spare room. We used to have one when
I lived down on the farm. It was a little
room. If you walked In you had to back
out. It was the only room In the house
that had a carpet on the floor and It
was a title patch of green carpet with
pcllywogs and snakes and eels for thi
design. It was the only room 'In the
house that had wallpaper and the de
sign on It matched the carpet, It had a
llttlo four-Inch border. Grandfather made
the bed and it had no springs or slats.
It had knots and pegs together and had
some stuff hanging down around it
what do you call It valance to hide what
was under the bed. We used to throw
anything under that bed, old shirts and
anything else we wanted to get out of
eight. It always had a spooky appear
ance to me and they couldn't have gotten
me in that room after dark if they'd
have given me the farm. Strangers al
ways got that room and they always had
my sympathy.
"So a, bunch of you have Jesus Christ
In the spare room, and the kitchen, sift
tins room and parlor and all of the rest
of the house belongs to the devil.
"O. throw the door open! Say, 'Jesus,
It's an insult the way 1 have been treat
Ins you. It I an Insult." Say; 'Jesus.
come here with me ana hear me say the
blessing; come here Jwua and sit while
1 ay amUy prayer; coma and go with I
to tb store and sea that I give S1
Inches to the yard and 18 and 12 ounces
to the pound and MOO pounds to the ton!
come In nnd see If there are nny books I
ought not to have; out goes all evils;
well 1 should say o; come here nnd
look nt thi music; come here and look
In my refrigerator; t'gli, take this beer
out: look nt the centre tnble.' Did you
win this ns n prize? Away that will go.
Go home nnd nsk Him to come out of
the spare room and treat Him decent.
"1 can seo better things In the lives of
many of you here. Lota of people hart
their minds on tho bolt nnd )ou keep It
thero for one or two reasons, flrat, for
things He will cast out If you let Him
In, nnd second, for tho things Ho will
bring In when Ho comes.
"If Jesus Christ comes In, out goes
maliciousness, revenge, lust, drinking,
card playing, dancing nnd you know It.
'Hint's tho reason you refuse to let Him
In.
"Vou ay, Mr. Sunday. I don't sco how
l can forgive so and so! All right, then
God will not forgive yuu. If you for
give them that trespass, Ho will forgive
them Clint trespass.
SAW POI'L IN IIELti.
"When 1 was preaching In ft town In
Iowa a wotnnn enme to me nnd told me
thero wns n girl back In the nudletitc
who was weeping and naked tne to come
back. I went and found n beautiful girl
with hulr tike tho inven's wing and 11
straight nose and pearly teeth, ilcr tears
only enhanced her beaut). I asked hor
what wns the matter, If site hud any
thing she didn't want to give up. Sh'n
said thero was not. "Do you behove?'
She nilu she did. 'Well, Is thero any one
ott won't forgive?' Sho said: '.Mr. Sun
day, don't nsk 1110 to forglvo him.' I
snld' I don't r.sk )ou, God nska ou.'
8I10 snld; 1 enn't.' I suld: 'You won't.
She Just looked nt mo nnd snld: 'I cun't.'
I looked bail; and sum: moii won't.'
She Jumped to her feet and brushed the
tears uwny and clenched her list nnd her
bosom swelled nnd she snld: 'Then I
won't." I looked into her face and I
saw a vision of a soul In hell.
"If sho hnd let Jeaus In alio would hnve
been willing lo forgive. If you let God
Into your hnit all hnte will go out nf It.
Forgive nnd fnrget II. If you wish to pay
tho prion of a Godleas life, go tin. 1 will
ndmit you will lose siinie thlnca by be
coming a Christian nnd perhaps you
might gain some thlnga by not becoming
n Chrlstlnn. But the mnn that tote1
square with God Almighty will net nlong.
"At nnolhcr town In Iowa there was a
publlo schoolteacher and another woman
who hnd hnd n scrap. They had split
tho Presbyterian church In two, for It
had grown so thnt people had begun to
tako tides. T went to Mlsa C. nnd naked
her why sho didn't fix it up. She a.ild
thnt ahe hndn't started It. Mrs. F. had
started It. 'Then go down nnd nsk her
to forgive you.' Sho mid It sho did Mrs.
F. would tako delight In ordering her
from tho house. 'Don't go nlone,' I told
her nnd named three to jro with her.
'Go nsk her to forgive you nnd If sho
rofines then let her go to tho dovll, aa
Matthew tells you In the ninth chnpter.'
"Sho went and .Mrs. F. was more than
glad to mnko a reconciliation. They
telephoned me and I called tho chief
usher and told him to savo two seata, for
Miss C. nnd Mrs. F. were coming to the
tabernacle together that evening by my
request. So he snved the seats nnd at H
o'clock slfarp they eamo down tho
alslo with locked arms. Oh, you ought
to have heard the buzzing in the audi
ence that night! They sat down on the
front row and on I looked In their fncc.i
thut night I snw a vision of soula in
heaven. God snys If yo forglvo others
He will forgive you.
"If you aro unwilling to make a sacrl
Ace, there's nothing to It. If you nre
unwilling to make a sacrltlco, and go to
hell, you can go. I believe thero are
church members In Philadelphia who nro
unwilling to throw out the cards and tho
booze oven though they know they will
make their sons gamblers and drunkards.
"If I hud my way, I'd have every pack
of cards on earth and every drop of
beer In hell before midnight. Oh, I
don't care for your applause unless you
are willing to crystallize It Into action.
"If Jesus comes In, prido, appearing
what you are not, sinful pleasures, greed,
lust, go out. When Jeaus cornea In If you
nro holding nn office you haven't been
elejoted to, you'll roalgn.
"I read a story and It seemed Incredible
to mo until I learned the source. The
mother had Just died nnd the father
was sitting before the fire that night
with his heuxl in his hands when his
son enmo down stairs. 'Where are you
going?" his fnther asked. 'O, down the
street; t won't be gone long." "Don't go,'
his father pleaded. "This Is the first
night In 40 years your mother hasn't
been hero nt night and I think the quiet
ness will kill me.' 'I made this date
some time ago,' was tho roply, 'and
I've got to keep It. T won't be gone
long. I'm going" The old man ran to
the door and lay down In front of It and
said: 'New, please don't go, If you do
you will havo to step over my body."
nnd Incredible ns It seems the boy stepped
over his father's body and walked out
of the door.
"God has planted In front of you the
Bible. He has placed In front of you
thn cross. On the floor lies tho bleeding
body of His Son. Surely you will not
step over them.
"And that's what you will have to do
If yon go to hell. You'll havo to step
over the cross, the church, mother,
father, sermons, everything that has been
fnr ycur good, for God Is trying to block
the wny to hell.
" 'Behold I stand at the door ana
knock."
"Let Him In, won't you?"
"DIVINITY IN EACH MAN"
Cleryman Explains Unitarian Belief
nnd Challenges Evangelists.
"Unitarians believe there Is a divinity
within each and every man. Fundamental
differences In attitude toward human na
ture account for the difference between
tho Unitarian and Orthodox beliefs."
This was the assertion of the Rev. E.
II. Reeman, of Lancaster, who spoke last
night before members of the Gennantown
Lutheran Church on the "Truth About
Jesus." The Rev. Mr. Reeman also de
clared that In no single Instance In the
Oospel wns there any record of Christ
"being represented as having laid clatm
to the consciousness of deity, and no
where did He speak of Himself as God."
The speaker, who was Invited to make
an address here in connection with tho
campaign being made by the Unitarian
churches to offset the doctrines of "Billy"
Sunday, said he would like to challenge
every envangellst with the question, "Do
you think Jesus would be less worthy of
our respect and less capable of wlnninu
the world's homage If He were a mere
man?"
WOMEN TO HEAR SUNDAY

ACTORS CAUTIONED
AGAINST RIDICULE
OF "BILLY" SUNDAY
Orders Forbid References to
Evangelist and His Work
by Vaudeville Performers.
Orders have been Issued to tho per
formers tu many vnildcvllle theatres that
reference, from the stage, to "Hilly"
Sunday wilt not be permitted. When the
evangelist first enme here he was the
subject of many Jokes and stories, Most
nf these weie linrmloss, but many could
have been construed by sotisltlvo persons
us 11 criticism of "Billy's" methods. Ono
line thut used lo bring a smile without
adverse comment wns "Wo used to have
Sunday once n week, but now we have
It every dny."
Harry T. Jordan, general manager of
thi Keith enterpflscs here, discussing
the order, snld:
"Undoubtedly, vaudeville patrons, pos
hibly n iiinjoilty of those In this city, at
tend the meetings at the tnbernacle, and
nre In thorough sympathy with the work
that Mr. Sunday Is doing. Theso peoplo
attend the theatre to bo entertained, nnd
it hns nlwuys been our policy not to per
mit anything that might give offense to
nny person or persons. While nny re
marks pertaining to Mr. 8undny and his
work used by a vaudovlllo artist would
undoubtedly bo Innocent In their Intent, It
Is so easy to misunderstand Just what hns
been said, that It wns thought best to
clliulnnto nny allusions whatsoever."
K. L. Perry, a representative of the
Stanley Amusement Company, which
conducts aevernl vaudeville houses, said;
"We hnve not Issued any Instructions
to performers concerning 'Billy' Sunday.
We would not permit any reference to
any one of nn offensive nature. The per
formers who play here don't resort to
nny locnllams, and simply present their
acts In tho same form ns In other cities."
"I would not allow nnythlng of un of
fensive nnture to bo said concerning
Billy' Sunday," said Joseph Cohen, man
ager of the Broadway Theatre, Broad
street and Snyder avenue, "but I sco no
harm In Innocent remarks which bear no
reflection upon himself or his meetings."
W. R. Steel, manager of tho Keystone
Theatre, 11th nnd Lehlfrh avenue, said
thnt ho would not permit nets to men
tion anything savoring of criticism of
'Billy' Sunday. "There have been some
alight references to him," he said, "In
some of tho acts, but I saw nothing
wrong about It."
James Springer, mnnagcr of the Cross
Keys Theatre, COth and Market streets,
said:
"We do not permit tho mention of any
one locally by the performers, and, of
courtie, would prohibit reference to
Billy' Sunday."

Religion Is peine tested as never
before. Some of Its older forms are
discredited for today. It Is felt by
many that to be effectual religion
can no longer be antagonistic to
the spirit of truth and the best
thought of our time. It should win
the loyalty of the intellect and con
science, as well as of the deeuest
emotion. Orthodox Christianity
Ignores some of the most vital ele
ments of human growth. It does
not tell the whole story of religion.
It you would hear a different state-
uum, come tu una meeting.
