THEATRE NOT TEACHER
"The theatre is not a teacher. It Is
not Intended to be educational, but it is
Intended for entertainment. Efforts have
been made to reform the stage, but It
has always gone downwaid, and, like
I water, seeks its own level. There have
been spasmodic revivals, but today the
rnajorlty of theatres allow any show that
y Will bring money to be played nt the

ffhame, but I have the backing of all the
godly 'men who are trying to etovate
morais,
"We could shut un the theatres and you
Wouldn't miss them In 48 hours. Yoli
wouldn't stand up and defend a thing be
cause there's lota of money in it, would
you;
The legitimate drama can't live. A
Shakespearean ehnw can't last! for a
month. The people will not attend it..
but let a God-forsaken lei: show start
J across the street, and it will be packed
I to the roofs. It's the spectacular that
i appeals today. Take (ha leg show- and
" the spectacular from the stage and the
theatre would go to rot. You go to see
a musical comedy.4i.nd-you wilt see girls
that haven't enough clothes on to flag a
i handcar, and. then they try to hide be
5 hind art. That's why the managers say
the public Is to blame. If you want to
I be dirty and low-down and go to these
6 places It's up to you. But It Is because
of these I am Justified In preaching the
i sermon that I am.
J "Sarah Bernhardt went away from
J America with S274.O00 at the end of a nine
f months' tour, but when a preacher makes
J a little money, they call him a 'grafter.'

"If the church would refuse to patronize
the theatre, the theatre would be com

MARK OF DECADENCE.
j "It Is upon the charred souls of women
j that most of the men who are a power
In the theatrical world have climbed ta
2 their height
I "The only way to reform the theatre Is
J to tUrn It Into something else. Israel
1 Zangwilt says thi(t the playwright gets
- iup bis. production, to satisfy the hist of
I the age, and not for what good It will do
the world. .
"Arcnwsnop uiennen said that to go

give him a'package. He said he would.
('When ,hy reached the prison he saw
the .yoahs; man apd handed him the plc
tare''an4' said: 'I saw your mother, nnd
she asked me to bring you this.'
"He looked at It and said: 'That Is
mother. There are wrinkles In her face
not there the last time that I saw her.'
' 'Yes, he said, 'your mother does look
aged. Probably It's because of worry,
because of worrying over jou."
" 'What did mother say?' he said.
" 'Why, she said to give you this
photograph with her love."
CURSES HIS MOTHER.
"And tho joung man took the picture,
wrapped it up, handed it back lo tho
minister, and said: 'You take that pic
ture back and give It to my mother, and
tell heri ' damn1 her! I never want to
see her face ,ngaln. Slio taucht mo to
pla cards, and I killed a man at n
gambling table, and am serving 15 oars
to pay for It. She learned to play so-
that she should climb a few rounds In the
social ladder. Then sho made me play,
when I cared nothing about It, so that I
might be accepted at social affairs. Then
tho passion seized me nnd I became n
gambler. Now I'm here. Now she has
the audacity to send me her picture after
sho pushed me behind tho prison bars.
" 'I want nothing to do with her.' And
with that he di&mlssed the man and
askpd the warden to lock him up.
"I believe more people backslide on ac
count of the cards and dances than they
do through the saloon.
GAMBLING IS GAMBLING.
"A seemingly estimable woman will tear
and snooze and pout through nn after
noon. What for? I mean tho diamond

bcr who plays cards. The one Is openly
a gambler. The other ta a gambler and
pretends to be decent.
"The dance is the dry-rot, the tinder
box of society. I alwajs thought It was
a big nuisance to gallop a mile or two
just to get a hug or two. A dancing
church member Is never a soul-wlnnlng
church member. Some of you girls say:
'Good-by, Lord, I have U go to tho dance
with this dude. I'm sorry.'
"There Is nothing so tame as to ask a
fellow to play cards for the fun of It
when he Is used to a sky limit.
"It does not make any difference
whether It Is a penny-ante or sky limit.
So we have progressive euchre, and lots
of church members In Philadelphia have
cards on their table as often as food.
"I hear some churches liav, hn h,v.
ing more earn parties than prayer meet
ings. If j on hae a Bible and a deck
of cards in your home, throw the deck
in the alley. Either throw the cards In
the furnace and keep the Bible, or throw
the Bible Into the garbage can and keep
the cards, pon'tvlet them both stay
under your roof all night.

of the church.
"I used to play cards. I could lie and
cheat llkp the rest of tnem. But I'm
after the devil now; I don't care where
he shows his head.
"Cards are society's contribution to the
forces that are dragging men to hell.
There was a time in America when the
stately cotillion seemed to satisfy Amer
ica, but It la too slow for the hot blood
of the aoth century. They must have
something that will chase hurdles through
their veins. There Is nothing so Insipid
for the devotee of the waits as to dance
a quadrille.
I remember years ago my wife and I
went out to Kansas to see my mother,
and We want out Jnto the country to
attend a Fourth of July celebration.
They had rpread-eagle oratory and red
lemonade and the young fellows had
hand-painted" neckties that cost a'bout 18
cents, and little blue sashed maidens fed
them gumdrops and candy hearts with
reading on them. They would spend as
much ns 30 cents on them,
"On the platform they were getting
ready for the quadrille. A great big
trombone-necked 'fellow was the caller
for the dance. It was a rough Job, (l
had Just as soon be a chambermaid In a
livery stable.) He spit tobacco Juice
enough tfr drown a Jackrabblt. He got
Into a chair and reslned his old three
stringed Addle and said; ,
"Salute your partner, forward and
bae"k; everybody swing.'
"A great big strapping country fellow
had a fat, voluptuous country girl for a
partner, and he threw his arms around
her and lifted her feet right off the
floor, and she shot her heels right at my
head.
"I believe that most of the girls sold
as white slaves are enlisted from the
ballrooms. The dance li the rottenest,
most hellish, vice-producing Institution

that tolerate lu-lhey don't encourage it--and
any church that encourages It la too
low down to deservo the name of church.
"I will give you a QUoUUon from a let

"In this connection we consider It our
duty to warn oilr members against this
amusement, which may become to them
an occasion of sin, especially the fash
ionable dance, which Is disgusting and
revolting and demoralizing.
" 'The enormities of the theatre and tho
dance would not be tolerated another
minute If the mothers would only set
their faces against them.'
'Dlshop Vlncennes quotes from his rec
ords that the waltz would not be toler
ated If Christian mothers would only set
their faces against It and remove their
daughters from this contamination,
"Alas! that women professing to follow
Christ should not rally for the honor of
our daughters and drive these things
from society.
"Tho trouble Is now the Church of God
has become the clearing house for the
world. I have as good a right to expect
good of you as I have of my wife nnd
she has or me.
"The dancing church member never was
a soul winner. The dance Is simply a
hugging match set to music.
DANCE IS IMMORAL.
"The daure Is Immoral. Every man
and woman carries n breast full of pas
sions, the same as are possessed by the
bnd, and those passions become n tinder
box to consume morals wheneer
brought Into contact with the temptress.
The dance la conducive to Immorality.
In the dance and on the bnllioom floor
you allow liberties to men tnal you neer
nllpw them elsewhere. You grant them
liberties op .the ballroom floor thnt If a
man other than your husband would at
tempt in jour home nnd your husband
would find you at It. he would hnve no
trouble In securing a divorce, nnd If he
shot the man no Jurj In the world would
convict him for It.
"Doesn't the swing of the dance around
the corners throw msn and women In po
sitions that are not tolerated elsewhere?
"Fathers and brothers you don't seem
to realise when your daughters and sis
ters go to these dances they meet strange
men and associate with older women and
learn to smoke and drink: and you can
bet that when a girl gets so low that she
wilt smoke and drink she Is on the
toboggan slide and going to hell fast. It
does no harm to keep your daughter
away from dances. She runs a big risk
In going. In God's name, play the safe
side.
"Where do you find your most accom
plished dancers? In tho brothels, Tho
girls In these places do not come from
the poorer classes not by a long shot.
They are girls In many Instances from
the upper crust of society. Girls who
have taken dancing lessons.
CALLS IT HELLISH.
"The dance Is the hotbed of Immorality
and vice, and I denounce It an the rotten
est, most hellish vice-producing Institu
tion that ever wriggled from the dcpthB
of perdition, it Is not Innocent amuse
ment. It Is the worst amusement. It has
caused the downfall of more girls than
anything else. Six saloons do not do as
much to rot the morals of girls as one
dnnclng school. And this municipal dance
linll proposition Is all rot.
"Oh, but you say: 'I go to tho private
dances I don't go to the slums or free-for-alls
' The slums nnd free-for-alls
have you beat a mile. Why? Becauso
they Wear more clothes thnn you do.
"The chief of police In New York tells
me thnt three-fourths of the fallen women
In that city went wrong first through the
dances. There nre 600,000 fallen women
In tho United States, nnd to think thnt
370,000 of those lost their virtue through
the dance halls.
"I hear you say: 'Am T my sister's
keeper' Tf you condone tho dance after
what I have told you about It, jou are
her 'murderess.'
FAVORS NEW METHOD
"But .you say: 'Cant a rellow dance
wlth--hs own wife?' 'His who?' 'His
wife?' Why, you would Just as soon husk
corn all night by moonlight ns dance with
your own wife. It's not your wife you
want to dance with It's some other fel
low's wife or some other fellow's sister.
You let him hug your wife for the priv
ilege of hugging his. I want to see the
color of the buck's hair that dares to put
hi? arms around Nell.
"You say you need the exercise of danc
ing. Passion Is tho basis of the popularity
of the dance. Let women dance with
women anu tne men dance with men.
Make men dance by themselves and
women by themselves and I'll kill the
dance In a month. I believe that pas
sion is the basis of the dance popularity
today. Men drink and gamble and they
go to racetracks and they bet all of this
they do without their wives. Why then
can't they dance without their wives, or
otner peoples wives. If exercise Is the
thing they want.
"The dance brings vice nnd virtue Into
such close contact that virtue Is well
nigh helpless and powerless.
"Dia they dance In Bible times? Tes,
but they danced by themselves. They
danced the,n for religious exercise. But
dancing In the 20th century Is not for
religious experience. David danced be
fore the ark of God and, Saul's daughter
looked on In envy. But he danced him
self. Dancing weakens you morally.
There Isn't a reforming Influence In It.
You say 'It doesn't hurt you,' but you
know It does. If It hasn't hurt you so
far, I will congratulate jou and warn
you in time.
GRACEFUL EXERCISES.
"There are plenty of graceful exercises
and cheerful amusements which have
none of the objections that He against
dancing connected with them.
"As everything a Christian does should
be done 'Unto the Lord.' I feel that to
Indulge In dancing would be more of an
Insult than nn honor to Him. So I shall
abstain from It altogether.
"In Rome there stands the great St.
Peter's cathedral. It required 337 years
to build It: IS architects were required.
There are "W columns and 121 swinging
iisiiia are always Burning Before tne al
tar. A man traveling In Europe came to
the cathedral and went In. He had only
gotten a short distance when there came
tne cry or 'hats off, the pope Is coming,'
and as they stand tn respectful silence
the Swiss' guards come down the aisle
carrying a chair bearing the pale, thin,
emaciated Leo XIII.
"He dismounts from the chair and
creeps to the foot of the statue of the
lowly fisherman of Galilee and kisses the
foot of the figure and returns to his
chair. Peter, the fisherman of God.
"What would I not give If I could live
a life that would leave behind me a
monument sum as that!
What would you not give? Peter gave
up all and followed Christ. Great God,
s It too great a sacrifice for you to stop
cards, theatres and balls? Stop It!"

Who, She Says, Is Doing
Incalculable Good.
"Blllj-" Sundny has no more ardent con

of Philadelphia'!! most popular matrons
nnd geneially conceded to bo tho best
gowned woman in the city.
Time and time again sho Is seen In the

words of the evangelist, mm sho mnkes
no attempt to conceal tho fact thnt Bhe
la profoundly atlrrcd by tho sermons
which he preaches. ,
Nor docs Bhe confine herself to visits
alono. Whenever the occasion presents
itself she does nctlve personal work
among her friends. Several hundred
men and women attended a praj-er meet
ing nt the homo of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James Dobson, where she re
sides, at the Falls of Schuylkill. Mr.
and Mrs. Dobson, Mrs. Altemus and her
sister, Mrs. Itlchnrd NorrlB, received.
Following the religious meeting, to which
severnl clergymen were Invited, a Mipper
was served at 10 o'clock.
A frequent devotee at the tho dansants
nt tho Itltz and the Bcllevue, Mrs. Alto
mus does not consider her dancing in
consistent with the teachings she has
imbibed from Sunday.
"I think the tabernacle meetings are
simply wonderful," she said when asked
about her frequent attendance. "X could
go to them ccrj' day. In fact, I do
almost. Mr. Sunday Is undoubtedly the
most sincere man I have ever listened
to, nnd I believe the good tic docs to
be quite Incalculable."
Asked whether or not she thought she
might become so affected by the Sunday
preachings as to bo Impelled to "hit the
trail," Mrs. Altemus replied with the
crj'ptlc answer that she had "already lilt

Lnst Saturday night Mrs. Altemus was

WILMINGTON MILKMAN
CONDUCTS REVIVALS IN
A LIVERY STABLE
WILMINGTON. Del.. Feb. 11. Is John
P. Twaddell, a Wilmington milkman, a
second "Billy" Sunday? Ills frlendj nnd
others who have heard him nre con
vinced ho Is.
Each morning of the wreck Twaddell
stops on the way home from serving his
milk route nnd holds services In the liv
ery stable of Joseph H. Gould, at 8th and
Shipley streets, in the beginning there
were only a few men In attendance. Now
the audience lilts the olllce of the stable.
There has beer, no advertising of the
meetings.
Twaddell Is a man bej-ond middle age,
with a bald head. Ills favorite dress Is a
pair of corduroy trousers, high storm
gaiters, a red sweater worn over a blue
working shirt without a collar. He Is
not nri educated man: In fact he says
himself that he can scarcely write, but
he has an earnestness ubout him which
impresses Ids hearers.
"I have the name message as 'Billy'
Sunday,' he declares. "The Lord chose
'Billy' for a leader because He know he
could kick the devil out of the people,
and He has allowed me to have the same
vision because He knew that I am not
afraid to tell the truth, I have a mes
sage to deliver to men and I am going
to do It,"

Charles L. Opperman has answered all the would-be
poultryman's questions in an article entitled "$1500 and a
Thousand-Hen Farm," which is in the issue of

he said wefe given In some church cir
cles, "Billy" Sunday sld that the gamb
ling Vice entails many others,
"Look at the women who smoke," he
said, "When a woman gets so low that
t.'it smoke cigarettes and hit the booze,
that's all I want to know about her. W
mind Is made up '".
and all the arguments that you or any
one clso may attempt to uisn oui w...
In no way alter It."
"Tou know ns well as I do that many
of the shows we see In the theatfes tnesj
days are rotten In the motal point of
view." he said. "The truth Is that many
to be successful have to be vile and
filthy. They must appeal lo the "
and In many cases lo diseased minds.
The fact Is that many men, rich men,
In some cases millionaires, who back
the shows know t'nat the productions
will bo a financial los, but these men
who sometimes pose as angels ore win
ing to Incur a financial loss In order to
have the free run of the stage."
Between the first and the second Ber
mons this afternoon the ovangellst took
a. short rest, but was soon back de
nouncing many modern amusements With
his usual vim nnd pepper. His perform
ance was remarkable.
The tnberimcle nursery seemed almost
ns crowded as the tnbernncte. Ninety
three little children, the record crowd of
tho campaign, were eared for. Among
the number were two seta of twins.
Mr. Bundav made a stirring appeal
to society folk when he addressod mors
than 200 persons assembled In thd home
of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Stotesbury. Ho
told the story of Philip Nolan, the "man
without a country," who said, "Damn tho
United Stfttes. I never want to near tne
name again." "Billy" told the agonies
this man suffered when he wns put on
board a Government vessel, where ho lived
56 vears without hearing tho nnme of his
native land spoken nnd of how he died
In anguish, penitent but uncomforted.
"I would like to write a slster-story to
that," the evangelist cried. "I would llko
to write the story of the man who damns
tho Kingdom of God nnd renounces his
rights to citizenship In heaven.
"Every man nnd woman hero Is born
a cltlren of two worlds, tho materlat nnd
the splrltunl. Every one of us has the
problem before lilm of rating himself or
hdrself In theso two worlds. There ore
mighty fow who do as Nolan did, re
nouncing their rights to tho pleasures of
this material world, but there are many
who renounco their rights of citizenship
In God's country.
"Of course, there are some who deny the
existence of God's kingdom. They are
fools. Why, for that matter, there aro
some who deny tho existence of the ma
terial world; they say it Is non-cxlstant,
a mere thought, nnd all that, but I've
noticed that oven tho Christian Scientists
run when they hear tho dinner bell ring.
"Yes, the material world exists, all
right. Wo sec It. wc hear It. we plow
It, we lie under the shade of It nobody
doubts that this Is a chair and this a
table. Tho splrltunl world exists Just as
surely as docs the mnterlal,
"Now hero's what I want to show you:
If you live simply tor the material world
and renounce your rights to tho spiritual,
you aro no better thnn an animal; In fnct,
hot even as good. An eagle can sco far
ther than you can, a deer can run raster,
a home or ox is stronger, and they can
reason ft great deal better than a good
many men. But here Is one thing an an
imal has never been known to do, to get
down on Its knees, and pray. There is
not tho slightest hint to Indicate that an
animal has a soul.
"There is the difference between men
and animals, nnd If jou renounce your
right to that distinguishing feature be
tween you, why, tho animals are even
better than you arc.
