ttt. 1 think, IS a part of one of tho
Hddesl fetorlcs In the Old Testament. 1
' always read It with conflicting emotions:
till. 6tona la sultlclcnt proof of the au
thenticity of the Ulble, for If It were
ttfjtleit by men uninspired by God, we
Ivoulil liitve no account of man's sin and
FliHiilo, Especially If that man had been
prominent God puts It all In. Not
only tlifl bright side. Man would put In
only the bright side, but Qod puts It all
In. Not tiecause He approves of It. Oh,
no. l)ul because He wants to show us
what hlen nnd women of other ages did
r.d how they Wero punished, and what
Will happen to us It we disobey Ills com
lnattda .
"What God does for one He x HI do for
alt. The plan of redemption doesn't ap
ply' to only one Individual, but applies to
all. So when Ood Inspired the Ulblo He
put It all In.
"If A. man Had written the Wblo he
wouldn't linve put anything In about
! Kouh cutting drunk after he came out
p th" ark, or ohout David committing
adultery, or abnul Solomon having Tuo
wived and n few hundred concubines on
the side, and having old Hrlgham Young
backed off the boards, or about Ananias
beli'R a champion liar, or about Judas,
thu miserable old scoundrel, betraying
Him. 'iou read the life of Robert Hums
and you won't sco where he said If
there Was n barrel of whisky In one cor
ner and a cannon In the oilier, and he
knew If he touched the whisky ho would
bo shot he nonlil havo to gt to the
whisky No, If man had written the
Hilda yen wouldn't have seen the sin
He put them In to show that oven though
man had sinned. If he confessed It, the
Lord would forgive and forget It.
"The other Is a feeling of sadness. One
of the saddest things on earth Is to tlo
yoUr hopes to a man or woman and have
them disappoint you. It Is a Bad thing to
build our hopes on a son or daughter and
havo them dashed to tho ground. Many a
woman has stood beneath tho pcrfumo o
tho o ran go blossoms and given her life
Into the keeping of somo man who vowed
to bo true as long as the skies and sea
aro blUe and ho broke them alt and to
night she feels her disgrace. Many a
mother haa brought up her children and
bullded her hopes on them and they have
gone out and murdered nnd assassinated
all o her hopes until sho droDs out of nil
of her society and goes by way of tho
back streets and Is ashamed and dis
graced because they havo 'the family
name synonymous with drunkenness,
adultery, blasphemy and robbery and
verr hellish thing In general.
"It's a sad thing and of alt tho agonies
that wring the heart and almost anni
hilate reason tho saddest Is to bo disap
pointed In tho people you expect bettor
things of.
"Think of the man who could wrlto the
23d Psalm (Henry Ward Beecher called
It the nightingale song.) It sings Its
aweetest melody in tlfe night of darkness
nnd afflctlon. 'When I read It, It seems to
sne I can see the very angels singing.
David the man after God's own heart.
-An old infidel out In Iowa said to me:
"Bill, If David was a man after God's
own heart, I haven't much respect for
Cod's choice. He wasn't after God's own
theart because he sinned, but because he
was decent and manly enough to own up
that ho had sinned and ask God's for
Elveneas. Tou'll be a man aft-r r3nrv
heart when you admit your cussedness
and como out and want to trot decent.
BIN GRADED BY LIGHT.
"Sin Is graded by light. Tho more light
the greater your guilt. I'd rather be a
heathen In Japan or In Al-nca worship
ping Idols of wood or stono than be a
roan In Philadelphia today and not bo of
God. I don't havo to go to Africa or
China to find heathens.
"just remember that a heathen is one
"Who doesn't believe In God.
"It's h. greater sin for some men to do
omo things than for others to do the
'same thing because sin Is graded by light.
It was a greater sin for David to do
what ha dtd than It would have been for
n omo others to do the same thing. It's
B se.tr sin for some men to drink than
for otners.
"I was never possessed of an appetite
tor drink, but then every once In a while
C lose a piece of my temper. I have the
name disposition I had before I became
u. Christian and I never havo gotten over
losing my temper nnd never expect to.
"You say, 'What! Sin graded by light
Certainly. Jesus said: 'Woo unto thee,
Capernaum, If these things had been done
In Tyre and Sidon they would have been
saved long ago.' Jesus walked the streets
of Capernaum and healed the sick and
bpened the eyes of the blind and ho said:
'You people are worse than Sodnm nnd
Gomorrah because you havo moro light."
Bo you people aro worse than Japs and
the Chinese because you have more light.
"Here's one of tho sweetest pictures of
the love of God I can find in the Old
Testament If you want to know how
S'ou can best resist temptation I should
say; 'Keep busy for God.' Satan finds
mischief for tho Idle hands to do, and
on Idle mind Is an Instrument of tho
devil. The reason so written after your
names Is because you are not busy for
God, You sit around with your arms
folded, The man that stands around with
his hands In his pocket will soon be
trying' to get them Into somebody else's.
"No trade. Keep busy. No trade Is the
passport by which 90 per cent, of the
criminals enter the penitentiaries of the
country.
"David was living in luxury. He had
obtained peace with all of his enemies.
A little Insurrection arose and Instead of
going' himself he sent Joab to quell It.
And he was walking on the roofs of tho
houses In the cool of tho evening and he
vw a woman, noted for her beauty of
face and her symmetry of figure, liath
uheba, and he thought of sin. No man
or woman ever sins If they don't think
NO.

of It first. No man ever stolo without
first stealing In his mind. No man eVer
lied, or deceived by his actions without
first thinking of it. No man ever mur
dered without thinking of tho murder
Hrst. The sin of the hand Is borri In tho
heart. You concclvo It here and bring
It forth theic. So I say no man or woman
ever sinned without llrst sinning in Iholr
minds.
"So he looked and thought of sin. The
Illblo says: 'Let the wicked forsako his
nay and tho unrighteous man bin
thoughts.' An evil thought, an evil act,
an evil character, and all Is built on
character.
"A man's thoughts do not mnko him a
criminal. A man becomes a criminal by
his acts. A man becomes n. sinner by
his thoughts.
"You are a criminal when you act con
trary to tho law. When you think against
tho Inws of God vou nre a sinner. You
can think against tho law and not be a
criminal, but you cannot think against
tho laWB of God and not" bo a sinner.
THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS.
"Moses raid: 'Thou shall not commit
adultery.' .lesus Christ said: 'Whoso
ever looketh upon a woman to lust after
her, hath committed adultery with her al
ready In his heart.' Chastity requires
purity of heart as well aa outward act. A
lot of ou don't net, hut you think and
you nro Just ns low-down dirty as If you
acted.
"How did Clod treat Da-. Id? Did He
uncork tho vials of His wrath upon him?
No! There Isn't n man in hell that God
didn't glvo a chance. Ho Bent Nnthan to
him and Nathan told him tho story of
tho ewe. Thero was n rich man and he
had large flocks and ono day a fellow
whom wo would cnll a hobo, came along
and asked him for something to eat and
thero was a neighbor who was poor and
had Just one little cwo which was a pot
of tho children, nnd tho rich man ordered
his servants to go take tho owo by fotco
and he killed It nnd mails savory meat of
tho flesh nnd gavo It to tho wayfarer.
And David was angry, and I can Imagine
him stamping his foot and crying . 'I vow
the man that did that shall surely die.'
And Nathan pointed his finger at him and
said: 'Thou art tho man.'
"I'd llko to havo lived in tho days of the
old prophets. Those old fellows never
trimmed their Bmllo for anybody. That's
why God honored them in tho old days.
They told tho kings or anybody If they
wero old sinners. Then David called In
tho words of my text: 'I havo sinned
against tho Lord.' And Nathan said unto
David, 'Tho Lord hath put awuy thy
slnR.'
"Noto first ho sinned ngalnst his light.
Ho knew ho had sinned when ho slmied
nnd so docs every one of you today. Tg
noranco of tho law 1b no excuse. Neither
Is Ignorance of tho law of Ood any ex
cuse. You have a chance to learn and
It Is your business to learn. Every ono
knows when ho sins.
"Second. Ho will forgive you If you
will repent.
"Third, can you forsako your vilest
sins If you yield to Christ?
"Second. Ho sinned against his position
as king. He influenced others to sin.
He hurt his wife and his children. No
man lives to himself alone. What you
Buffer your wife and children suffer. Yet
If you wero the only ono that was In
jured I'd preach Just as hard to savo
you. But you're not. No man can llvo
to hlmBelf alone. I got up and asked
about a girl. 'Oh. she Is so-and-so, her
mother Is so-and-so.' So many n child
Is ostracized nnd stigmatized by society
and compelled to llvo an Isolated llfo be
cause he has the blood of a certain old
dlsrcputablo scoundrel In his veins.
"A girl Is handicapped becauso you are
her father. And your sister hangs her
head In shamo because you aro her
brother and because of tho llfo you lead.
So do you. You sin against your posi
tions In the home. In society, in com
merce and in the lodge. You can do as
you like.
"It was a great sin and a great re
pentance. I'd like to ask you for your
definition of repentance. You'd say It
was sorrow. No. You can't And n man
In tho penitentiary who Is not sorry. Not
sorry becauso he has broken tho laws,
but becauso ho was caught. So it's not
repentance.
"It Isn't conviction. If conviction were
repentanco every one hero would have
been saved long nco. Lots of you are
convicted that you'ro living tho wrong
kind of a life, but you'ro not converted.
You're not willing to take a new stand.
If there's anybody on earth I despise
It's a religious coward. So It's not con
viction. CHANGE OP MIND NEEDED.
"It isn't remorse. Down in a meeting
In Troy, N. Y., a man got up one day
and yelled, 'Remorse, remorse!" and
three days later behind a stale beer Joint
they found his body. But remorse, waa
not .repentance.
"Repentance is a change of mind which
leads to a change of conduct with refer
ence to sin toward God and man, and
that you ask God for forgiveness through
Jesus. Many of you have already changed
your mind, but you havo not changed
your conduct. A man steals, but he
stops. He Is reformed, but ho Is not
saved. In other words, a man will come
down and say he Is wrong, but will not
accept Christ as his personal Saviour.
Repentanco means to turn your back on
sin and llvo for tho Lord.
"You cannot be saved unless you are
born again. Nothing will tako the place
of being born again. Baptism and con
firmation will not take its place. 'Ye
must be born again.'
"Over In tho eighth chapter of Acts
you find a certain rich man named Simon
who, when ho Baw tho Joy Peter was
bringing, asked him how much It cost.
And Peter told him, 'Thy money perish
with thee. Ha showed him It couldn't
be bought. That fellow had been bap
tized. You can bet he had been baptized
according to whatever tho right way of
baptizing in tha Bible Is, either sprinkled
or Immersed. There waa a baptized lost
sinner, Peter told him ho had no part
In this matter, that ho couldn't buy It
with money.
"No performances of religious cere
29 - ASTHMA SIMPSON,
WfScSSawmASwn.
Last Night
monies will savo you. You may go to
church nnd rend tho Blblo and know
tho long and short catechism, but you
must bo born again. Everybody that
l born again does these things, but
everybody that does these things Isn't
born ngain.
"Orthodoxy of faith will not save you.
No one has tho devil beaten for ortho
doxy, The devil has a lot of preachers
backed off tho boards. Ho believes Hint
Jesus Christ Is the Son of God and ho
trembles ami that's moro than somo of
you old lobsters out there do. Ho be
lieves In the Ulblo and heaven nnd hell.
Tho dovll believes all this, but ho don't
live it,
"James said: 'Show mo your faith by
your works.'
"Your culture nnd correction of mnn
tier won't sao you. Why somo of you
nre bo stuck up with your outside ap
pearance. Look at your heart. Somo of
you aro Just llko some apples so fine on
tho outside, but the mlnuto you bite Into
them bah you spit It out. It's rotten.
"First John, 3:9: 'Whosoever Is born
of Gpd does not commit sin.' That
doesn't mean that I cannot commit sin:
can't hit tho booze, but that I don't want
to hit tho booze. It doesn't mean that
I can't sin, but that I don't want to sin.
It doesn't mean you can't sin, can't
make a mistake, but that ybu will not
wilfully sin. it means If you fnll In sin
you won't slay there.
LIKE SHEEP AND HOG.
"You let a sheep nnd a hog fnll In n
mud puddle. Tho sheep will bound ctenr
of it, but tho hog will stay In It and
wallow In It. Their natures aro different
Tho world can tell whether you aro a
nog or a sheep. Let a man or a woman
bo born again nnd they'll bo bound nway
from sin. But let ono that Isn't and ho'll
wallow In It. Some church members are
Just washed sows. I'm Just quoting
Scriptures. Peter said, 'Somo of you aro
llko :i sow, which, washed, goes back
to wallow, llko a dog which goes back
and licks up Its vomit.'
"Third, whosoever Is born of God
loveth the brethren. Everybody that Is
a Christian, whether ho'a of your de
nomination or not Inow what aro you
going to do? That means tho Christian.
Not tho saloonkeeper or tho brewer.
They'ro no brethren until thoy aro born
again. They aro children of the dovll
now. It's God's nnturo to love and you
should lovo each other. Do you Presby
terians lovo tho Baptists and do tho Bap
tists tho Christians, nnd the Chilstlans
tho Methodists, and tho Methodists tho
U. P.'s? Do you7
"Do you lovo mo?
"See? It puts It square up to you. If
you don't I'll tell God when I got to
heaven about somo of tho mean tilings
you said about mo down here.
"Whosoever Is born of God does not
commit sin. whosoever Is born of God
lovoth the brethren. Whosoever Is born
of God doeth righteousness.
"A friend of mine was In a Baptist
church In Brooklyn, wJicre they wero ex
tending the right hand of fellowship and
they voted on ono woman, and all but
ono woman nroso to glvo ihor right hand
of fellowship. Sho said sho wouldn't be
causo tho woman camo from a little mis
sion section. And she had the audacity
to call herself a Christian and yet re
fused to extend tho hand of fellowship
becauso a woman came from tho sub
merged tenth.
"Whosoever Is born again bclleveth that
Jesus is tho Christ. That puts a lot of
preachers out of business. Who's a liar?
Anybody that denleth God Is a liar. Tho
Unitarians nio not even In tho Kingdom.
"First John, C-l, 'Whosoever is born of
God overcometii the world.' Thero nro
two classes in the church today. Those
who are overcoming the world nre Chris
tians. Those who aro letting tho world
overcome them are not. Would you rather
go to a theatre party, card party or
Dutch lunch than a prayer meeting?
Then you are not of God. This thing of
lust hanging on to a church membershlo
Is going too far.
"Every ono on earth has a body nnd
soul, but a Christian has moro than a
sinner, nnd you'll never bo saved until
you havo It I had (physical birth, but I
havo a spiritual birth. A sinner has no
spiritual existence. God looks on him as
dead.
"It's a great forgiveness. I want you
to read the 32d Psalm when you iro home.
It starts out, 'Blessed is ho whoso trans
gression li forgiven, whose sin is cov
ered.' A great forgiveness. People try to
cover their sins. Don't do it. Come to
Christ as you are and He'll forgive you.
"I had a friend who was a brilliant
young fellow. Ho covered the Japanese and
Chinese wars for a Now York paper. Ho
was on his way home wnen he was ship
wrecked and the captain and ho were the
only ones saved. They stayed on an Island
living on roots for a week and then they
signaled a steamer and got started home.
He got word from his paper, and they
told him to go to 'Frisco, so he went,
and thoy told hlin to como across the
arid country and write up the prospects
of Irrigation, And ns he walked across
those plains, ho thought of how they

"Then he thought of how his Ufa was
llko that desert with nothing In It hut
wnste. Ho finished his work nnd went
10 Chicago, whsro he got a Job and 'lost
11 on account of drunkenness and coudn't
get another on account of having no
recommendation. So he walked out one
winter night nnd took his reporter's book,
addressed It to his father, and wrote
something llko this: '1'vo mado a miser
able failure of this llfo. I've disgraced
vou and lent mother to a prematura
grave. If you caro to took for mo you'll
find my body in tho Chicago River.' Ho
tossed asldo tho book arid It fell on tho
snow. He leaned to the rail of the brlrtrre.
but a policeman, who had been Watching
him, sprang and caught him. He begged
him to let him leap, hut tho policeman
wouldn't do It, and pot his story from
him. Then tho policeman said: 'Well, t
drm't know whether you'ro stringing ma
or not, but if half of what you Bay Is tine
you can make a biff thing out of llfo. I'm
nut much on religion, but I'll show you a
placo whero they will keep you,' and he
took him to tho Pnclflo Gnrdon Mission,
at 100 East Van Buion Htieet, which for
1S.OO0 nights haa had Us doers open every
night.
"Hen went in and sat down by n hobo.
Ho rend somo of tho mottoes like: 'When
did you wrlto to your mother last?' and
they began to work on him and ho asked
tho hobo what craft they not out of this.
Tho hobo flared right up nnd sold thero
was no grnft, that Mrs. Clark had Just
mortgaged her homo for $3000 to pay back
rent. Then ho told him ho could sleep
right thero nnd go down In tho morning
nnd get something to cat free, nnd If ho
rouldn't land a bed by next night ho could
come back to ono of tho benches, Then
my friend got up nnd went down and ac
cepted Christ. Ho was i-o full of gold
bromide cures thut ho tingled when he
talked and Jingled when ho walked.
"Mo started out to glvo hti testimony
and ho was a marvelous power. I met
him somo time later in an elevator In
Chicago and ho was dressed to kill with
a slllc lid and a big diamond and the
Intest-cut Prlnco Albert, nnd ho said:
' "Bill," that was a great day for me. I
started out with not enough clothes to
mako n pair of leggings for a humming
bird nnd now look nt me.' Ho was sec
retary in tho now firm of Morgan &
Wright, and was drawing $175 a month.
Ho Is an expert stenographer. A news
paper In Now York had written him to
tako associate editorship, but I told him
not to do It, to slay whero ho was and
tell his story.
"What did ho do? Ho told God ho was
a miserable sinner and God forgavo him
ns Ho will you. Thero's ono verso of
Scrlpturo I'd llko to blazo all over Phila
delphia and every what o around. It Is
'He sure your sins will find you out'
Right by tho sldo of It I'd like to put
another, 'and If we confess our sins, Ho
Is faithful and Just to foiglvo us our sins
and clennso us from all unrighteousness.'
Ono to startle you nnd tho other to chase
you lo Jesus Christ.
"I didn't know what he meant by say
ing He would cast my sins behind Him,
but I know now. Ho would drop them In
the deepest depths of tho sea. Out in the
Pacific Ocean recently they measured and
six miles they didn't touch bottom. No
eye can see what six miles of water flows
over. I understand it now. If thero Is
anything on this earth I despise It Is the
man or woman v ho will remind any ono
oi the deeds or their former llfo if they
aro not lending that kind of a llfo now.
Anvbody who does is so low down I
wouldn't Insult a polecat by compaiing It
with them. God says: 'I'll remind you
of your sins no moro forever." So what
do you want to do It for7
'Don't try to mako yourself bettor.
Come as you aro and God will tako you.'

Questions Its Constitu

vors the Project.
Following the announcement that a bill
advocated by Philadelphia business men
proposing a tax of $73 on "transient"
merchants who exhibit nnd sell their
wares at hotels nnd showrooms less thah
120 days In tho year Is about to bo pre
sented to tho Legislature comes tho opin
ion from Thomas- Raeburn White, nn
attorney, that such a law, If passed,
would bo unconstitutional. According to
Mi'. White, tho matter Is ono of inter
state relationship nnd cannot bo dealt
Willi liv the individual. States.
E. J. Bcrlet, representing tho Walnut
Street Business Association, maintains,
however, thnt his legal advice and prece
dent show clearly thnt such a law would
bo well within tho Jurisdiction of tho
State. This legal question Is of interest
to locnl business men, for, following tho
original nppcaranco of this Idea In Coun
cils' committee some time ngo, sentiment
In favor of such restriction has Increased
until It hns now crystallized in tho foim
of a pending bill.
"It Is within tho province of a Stato
to levy a tax on goods manufactured
within the Stale, or for Importing goods
In bulk,' but the ritnte hns no authority
to restrict tho snlo of goods In tho 'in
dividual package,' " Bald Mr. While. "It
n man should como to this city with 23
or 30 suits, for Instance, and Bell them
It would bo a flno question for tho court
to decldo whether that amount consti
tuted 'bulk.' However, If a man dls
titnva bin Hnmnles and merely takes or-
deis to bo shipped In tho 'Individual pack
ago" from tho factory or storo In nnother
State, ho could not bo taxed or con
trolled." "I am aiming particularly at those peo
ple who como Into this town and tako an
empty storo or a hotel room for a few
days and sell furs, coats, Jewelry, rugs,
suits, etc., over tho counter direct," said
Mr. Bcrlet "Of course, if a person takes
orders hero and ships them from clse
whero wo can do nothing. But you
must remember that wo are not basing
our hopes on tho present law, but upon
a now law which has been drawn up in
the light of precedent and legal advice."
Should this bill become a law, It Is be
lieved It would affect some of tho largest
and best-known merchants In the world.
