'IrnouncInB tho sin and ruin of

Vj earnestness, ma ...i......,, .-
tod his simplicity.
Perhaps no man has over lived In our
.li .n,i certainly nono llvos at tho
resent day, who has dono moro In help
er to drlvo out evil, to promoto good nnd
la make men and womon llvo hotter and
toller lives than lias "Billy." Ho Is a
whirlwind In denunciation, a cyclono In
tmltlneand tearing down sin and corrup
tion and at tho samo tlmo a consolation
.a .1,1 fo all who nro seeking to load
', better lives and to find tho pcaco which
the worm cannoi give.
TMtnrfBlDhla should rejoice to have tho
benefit of his strong and powerful ser
mons, standing ns they do for right
eousness, uoa mono ran ciuiuuio niu
jood his meetings aro dolngfor tho peo
ple of Philadelphia.
Answering tho second Inquiry ns to
what I think of Stato-wldo prohibition,
I issert without fear of truthful contra
diction that 1C is uio greatest oicssing
that can como to a people, for It drives
trav evil, promotes law and order and
J makes strong men nnd women out of rep
robates ana weaKiings.
To know that what I say Is truo only
I consider that tho use of strong drink
v causes 20 per cent, of all Insanity, 40 per
K cent of Idiots, CO per cent, of cruelty and
tx mttv 7fl nfir rtnt. nf hnhnlsm " 7S
per cent of crlmo nnd SO per cent, of pov
ertv. Sixty per cent, of fallen woman
Land 80 per cent, of degraded men como to
their downfall througli strong drink. Last
;year 300,000 men nnd women died di
rectly or Indirectly from Its use.
Compare tho States that havo adopted
..prohibition with what they were beforo Its
adoption and at onco you see tho benefit
& that comes from the elimination of liquor.
Money, onco wasicu, is now uscu lor use
ful purposes. Crime Is lessened, poverty
greatly reduced and happiness and pcaco
take the place of discord nnd ruin.
No great moral movement over goes
backward and In my Judgment In less than
12 years thero will bo no strong drink
allowed to be manufactured or sold In the
United States wo, as a nation, llko Rus
sia, will drive It out.
, On January 1. 1015. thern were 14 Status
that had voted dry. Alabama voted dry
In January and I noticed In tho Kvenino
Lidokh of Thursday that Arkansas had
also voted dry. South Carolina. Flnrlrin.
Kentucky, Ohio, Utah and Arizona will
l, vote this year and by January 1, 1016,
were win oa at least 21 dry States.
The temperance movement is growing
irensei- every day. Even tho politician
Is finding that tho saloon is no longer
all-powerful. and no nartv now rim-en tn
iVtl lUelf openly to the rumseller.
The talk of confiscating property and
, liking that tho whisky seller be indemnl-
uu u a county or State goes dry is all

We his property for other and better purposes.

"Billy" Sunday's Sermons
Sunday Afternoon and
Evening
SUBJECT:
"HOW TO BE LESS THAN A MAN"
"Text: 'Chooso yo this day whom ye
will servo.' Joshua, xxiv, IS.
"Choice determines almost everything
In your life. If tho devil Is more power
ful, servo lilm. If you would rather serve
htm than Qod, choose him and go to hell.
"Theso nro tho words of Joshua, tho
successor to Moses. Moses was a great
man. Moses was a great lender, llo led
tho horde of Jews out of Egypt where for
years thoy hnd made bricks without
straw and had bared their bncksst0 the
Insh of tho taskmasters, and with pillar
of lira by night and the cloud by day
ho led them to tho promised land, Moses
was tho great lawgiver and the precepts
ho Inndcd down nre the basis for the
Jurisprudence of ovcry civilized nation on
tho faco of tho globo, llo was n great
organizer and has novcr been excelled,
but Qod wouldn't let him go Into the land
of Cnnnnn becnuso ho disobeyed when he
struck tho rock.
"Joshua was his successor. Ills llfo was
almost over when ho called tho people to
him and rehearsed to them whnt God had
dono for them ,nnd said: 'Chooso ye this
day whom yo will serve.' Chooso whether
you illl serve Qod, who has done so much
by feeding you manna, going beforo you
in a cloud and In n pillar of fire, and
who lias mndo your sandals and garmenttt
to not wenr out, or whether you will wor
ship tho golden Idols of other nations.'
And right here I'd llko to appeal to
your manhood. "Whothcr you will worship
God or tho dovll, or some little nonenlty
ot earth. Man has been defined as a 'ra
tional animal.' I don't know about this.
Man doesn't surely reason when ho ro
fuses to accept Christ. A man is a moral
Idiot to refuse to sco that It Is a rea
sonable thing to do right and that It Is
unreasonable to do wrong! that It Is un
reasonable to get drunk nnd reasonable
to bo sober, unreasonable to cuss and rea
sonable to pray. Man uses his reason
when ho accepts that which will get him
to heaven, nnd ho doesn't when ho goes
to holt. I want to appeal to your reason,
men.
MOItE THAN WEIGHT NEEDED.
"You can't deflno 'man.' Avoirdupois
doesn't mako n man. He Is not a man
because ho weighs 175 pounds and stands
6 feet 2. Some men remind mo of tho
signs you seo In a butcher shop, 'Dressed
Pork" and 'Dressed Beef,' No, slrl It
takes something moro than avoirdupois to
mako a man.
"Alexander II. Stevens, cx-Vlce Presi
dent of the Confederacy, was noted for
his keen wit in debate. Thero wasn't a
man In the Senate but hated tho
thought of crossing Stevens In debate
During his last term ho had to bo wheeled
to and from the Scnnto in a chair. Ono
day 'Tom' Toombs, of Georgia, was on
tho opposlto sldo of tho question and
Stoven3 said something which Toomb3
didn't like, and Toombs came over, and,
leaning over his chair, said: 'Stevcns God
curso you; I could cut you alive.' Quick
ns a flash Stevens retorted, 'If you did,
you'd have moro brains In your belly than
you ever had In your head.' Then old
'Tom' tried to hedge, and ho said: 'I
haven't had the opportunities that you
havo had. I'm a self-mado man.' Stevens
enmo back with, 'Then that relieves God
of a wonderful responsibility.' So avoir
dupois doesn't mako a man.
"Jesus Christ camo to reveal Himself to
man nnd to reveal man to man. Jesus
camo to show what kind of a man He
wants you to be. Only as you Btrlvo to
reach tho high Ideals will you bo n man.
To try to llvo In His teachings is reason
able. To shut your eyes Is foolishness.
If you want nn Introduction of yourself as
God wants you to bo, look to Jesus.
" 'Chooso yo this day whom ye will
servo.
"Most any mnn can givo an excuse for
not being a Christian, but I nave never
met one yet who could give a reason. A
season Is suitable grounds to provo your
side of it, nud an excuse is Just saying
something. An excuse will not save your
soul from hell and no ono can give a
reason.
NOT MAN ENOUGH, P.EASON.
"Tho nearest any one ever came to giv
ing mo a reason was a young man in
Toledo. I asked him if he was a Chris
tian, and he said he was not. I asked
him If ho believed In God, ho said yes.
He said ho believed In God, In the "Word
of God, In Jesus Christ, tho son of God,
In snlvatlon for thoso who will repent, in
a heaven for tho saved nnd a hell for
tho lost nnd that la person didn't re
pent he would go To hell. I asked him
then why ho wasn't a Christian. Ho said:
'BUI. I'll tell you. I'm not man enough
to bo a Christian.'
"Do you know why a lot of you haven't
been down here? You're not man enough.
You haven't the nervo to go homo nnd
say to your wife. 'I've given my heart
to Christ.' You'ro not man enough to
go homo nnd call tho children to you
and let them hear your voice In prayer.
You're not man enough to go home and
aslc tho blessing. You'ra not man enough
to go to your clerks and tell them you
have given your heart to Jesus Christ.
You haven't the nerve to go to that girl
you have asked to be your wife, and who,
God permitting, will be the mother of
your children, and put your arm around
her and say, 'I've given my heart to
Christ and we'll lock arms nnd go to
glory together.' You're, not man enough
to take your stand and go home
and send a telegram to your old mother.
If, she Is In a distant city, reading 'your
prayers have been answered.'
"You'ro not man enough to go tell the
members of your lodgo you have taken
Christ. You'ro not man enough to be a
Christian. I hurl It In your teeth. You're
not man enough to bo a Christian. No
man can be a man unless he Is a Chris
tian. If you want to be a man be a
Christian.
"Therefore, If you want to be less than
a malii go to hell. If you want to be a
man. go to heaven. No man can be
saved unless ho Is a man. No man can
bo a Christian unless he is a man. and
no man is a man unless ho is a Chris
tian. So If you would be a man, servo
the Lord.
"If your children ever go to heaven It's
because some Btranger has picked them
nn nnd showed them the way to Jesus
Christ. Tho Chinese bind the feet of
their children to prevent their normal de
velopment. You aro binding tha feet of
your children when you full to ehow them
tho -way to righteousness.
'One man said. "Bill. I'd like to bo a
Christian, but then they would laugh at
me.' Any ono that wouia laugn at a man
for wanting to bo a Christian, any man
that would laugh at a man after he was
a Christian, any man that would sneer
to prevent a man from being a Christian.
Is so ur.manly'that he Is so damnable, and
low down that I wouldn't compare a pole
cat to him, not deserving of the name of
a man. And a man that ia a man wU tell
you U Is tho manliest thing you ever did.
BTnENGTH NOT SUFFICIENT.
Thero are queer tdeaa of manhood.
Some think that physical strength makes
a man. Look at old Samson; he could
carry away the gates of Oaza and could
slay tho Philistines with the Jawbone ot
an ass, but ho laid his head on the Up of
a woman and was shorn of all his
strength. You are not a man tf you
crawl into the arms of a wicked woman.
I tell you, physical strength doesn't make
s, man.
"A Yala man took cold in Denver and
died, of pneumonia. Aa lie lay dying he
asked Ma father to pray fo? him. The
father paced back and forth across tha
room, wringing his hands, and beyond tha
window were tha JtocSOes, which 1
like flocks Qt sheep feeding on tha hill
sides in the skies. Tha father was Just
an much able to teauli that hoy how to
Yalo College. Vd rather liavo standing
.1ni.,n..heftven than go to lielL
Intelligence doesn't mako a man.
Bacon In alt of his Intelligence wan led
down the hill In the debtors' chains. Ho
accepted a bribe of 400 when ho was
Mrd Chancellor to decide a case. Into'
"genco doesn't make a mnn.
Fnst living doesn't mako a man. Don
think that you nro a man because you
can drink all of tho others under tho
tablo and can tako the collars off mora
mugs of beer than any other In the
crowd. That doesn't mako you a man.
That makes you a dirty dog.
" 'I expect to bo a Christian some day.
Some think It Is manly to put It oft.
Somo men cherish tho Idea that they can
kcop their lives under their own control
until the last moment and then think
they can tako one sip of tho water of
llfo and swing Into glory. They think
they can drain tho cup of llfo to tho last
dregs and then present their dirty car
casses to God. They think they can
llvo their lives for the devil and Just be
fore death havo a preacher slip them
througli to glory.
"Is that your Idea of manhood? It's
not mlno. I say, 'God, I'll do my best
now,' and thoso that wait this way will
bo disappointed,
TO BUSY TO MEDITATE.
"I suppose thero aro somo men who
havo been bo busy all of their lives that
they havo nover taken tho time to think
nnd medltato over theso things. If thoy
had they would have accepted. Then
when they nro on their death bed thoy
havo time to medltato and accept Christ
But you men listening to mo will know
beforo I am through nnd you aro all In
formed on the subject now. If you havo
noted on your knowledgo you would all
havo been In tho way to glory, long ago.
I am not preaching nnythlng new. I am
Just stirring you up to your duty In
what you already know.
"Years ago Colonel Clarke, of tha
famous Pacific Garden Mission In Chi
cago, met a man who enmo forward
one night nnd told tho sobbing story of
nn angry quarrel with his father. Tho
father had told tho son: 'I wnnt you
to do two tilings. I want you to leavo
tho houso. I want you to change your
name.' But tho fellow's sister was loyal
to him. When ho left tho houso sho
said: 'Every night nt 8 o'clock I'll pray
for you.' Ho went from bad to worse
he went to Chicago, They used to tell
him not to como to tho Harrison street
pollco station any moro. Ho used to
sleep thero with n newspaper under his
head. Colonel Clarke told his friend,
Harry Monroe, to kcop an cyo on tho
follow nnd to sco that ho kept steady on
n Job which thoy had found for him.
That fellow quit tho 'booze' and my old
friend, Monroe, told him to write a let
ter to his father, telling him- of his con
version, but not to ask him for any
money. A letter came back Immediately

Unitarian
Christianity
Can the orthodox Christians ot
this city be losing- their wits? It
would seem so since not a voice has
been lifted in protest against the
monstrous utterances of Mr. Sun
day's sormon on The Second Coming
of Christ. Ha said that Christ may
return at any moment and draw up
into the air with him all that have
accepted salvation. The Christian
engineer will be taken out of the cab
ot tha moving express train, leaving
tho train to dash Into destruction.
The officers of the great steamship
will be llttedup to their reward, tha
ship being allowed to proceed to
total wreck. The officers, breaking
a contract with their passengers, are
lifted Into glory. The tricked passen
gers are' consigned to hell. And
this abominable Immorality is called
Christianity!
Oh, hear the remonstrance of all
Unitarians. We beg to be exoused
from entering suoh a millennium of
the selfish. We choosa to go down
with tha ship. That 1b what Jesus
did.
Phlladelphlans, how long ran you
stand these things. We unitarians
Invite you to turn your backs upon
the churches which are upholding
such evil preaching, and come to us.
The increasing congregations at tha
Unitarian churches show that our

do not really believe that a good

Are you not wllllne at last to give
a fair hearing toXthe church which
accepts the standard that Jesus set,
love to God and love to man?
Do not any longer condemn un

The Furniture Sale oi Largest
Varieties, Finest Qualities,
Lowest Prices Is the
Sale for You
The strength of a sale is in the goods. On the strength of the goods
Wanamaker half-yearly Furniture Sales have become the largest retail
mercantile events in the world.
That is a fact worth knowing, but it is even better to know that
The Furniture Which Made These the World's Greatest
Sales Is Now Better Than Ever
The store that sells more furniture in two months than most stores
sell in a year is naturally able to offer the best furniture at prices as low
as those asked for inferior furniture or even less.
It would be doing ourselves a very questionable service to make
these assertions if we had not the merchandise to prove them.
The proof is here.
Medium Grade Bedroom Furniture
as good as the selection on the Sixth Floor, Chestnut Street, and at the
same low prices does not exist.
s Within the last six months the makers of this furniture have im
proved it, but prices have not risen.
Between $200 and $400 We Have 100 Dining Room Suits
oak, mahogany, walnut, many being fine suits of classic design, all
unequaled in style and stability at the prices.
Our moderately priced oak dining room furniture has always
been unexcelled. The selection we show this year is no better on the
outside than the good grades we have had hitherto, but we have found
ways of making it better inside, especially the drawer work, without
raising the price.
The fumed oak pieces you will find here are the equal of the highest
priced pieces so far as the fuming process is concerned. The selection of
sideboards and serving tables at ?22 to $65 is fine. Also of serving tables
at $9 to $20.
Between $75 and $200 We Can Match Up
75 Dining Room Suits
each comprising a dining table, a sideboard, a serving table, a china
closet and a set of chairs all of a quality without a weak spot, and all
at savings without a doubt. (fiu na sixth Floor.)
Spring Coats and Hats for
Little Boys and Girls
Seldom have tho new fashion features of any season
been so happily adapted to children's garments as this year.
The new coats for small girls and boys are well nigh irre
sistible, with their unaccustomed fullness and flare, the
unusual placing of belt different in almost every coat
and all the other fresh features of this Spring's styles for
children.
Tho new hats and bonnets include smart little Panamas
for tho boys, plain hats for girls' play wear, and fetching
little hats and bonnets with a very great deal of Btyle and
comparatively small prices. Many have soft crowns of fig
ured or flowered crepe de chine, and the delicate little-girlish
colorings are used in many attractive combinations.

The Small and Medium Size Oriental Rugs
in This Sale Were Never Scarcer
Even ot ordinary times it takes months and months
to bring goods from the heart of the Orient. Today the
Orient is farther away than ever. How long this condi
tion may last nobody can telL
The point to make note of is that for the present no
body wanting an Oriental rug need care, because at tho
prices marked on them the pieces in these new shipments
would have been good investments a year ago, and since
then small Oriental rugs have gone up, probably 25 to
50 per cent.
In this sale of new weaves secured from the New
York agent of an Eastern firm, you can choose at the old
unrisen rates. If rugs ara so scarce and have so gone up
in price, why are we selling theso new bales at such low
rates? Because as long as we can secure goods to special
advantage our customers are welcome to share it. Our
prices will go up when we cannot help it not before,
