LIFE OF LEO M. FRANK
'Arguments in Final Appeal Begin at
Washington Today.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Final argu
ment In the battlo to savo tho life of
tio-M. Frank, of Atlantn, Ga., convicted
ef the murder of !Ia;y Phagan, was
bejun today In tho Supremo Court of tho
United States.
,The arguments wero addressed to nn
ippeal from a decision of tho united
BUtes District Court of Georgia, denying
IVank's petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. The Supremo Court was asked
by Frank's lawyers to reverse that de
"clifon. The attorneys argued that the
ibjenco of Frank from court when the
.Terdlst was returned nullified the death
sentence and removed the prisoner from
the- Jurisdiction of tho court. Thoy did
tot set up the claim that Frank cannot
be retried.
ft Louis Marshall, of Now York, an expert
tn consuiuuonai questions, opened tno
cue for Frank. He based his nrcument
tn tho points that Frank's Involuntary
absence from tho court room when the
Mt'eath, verdlst 'was brought In and tho
absence of his counsel constitute a denial
f the due process guaranteed by tho Fed
eral Constitution and nullified tho Judg
ment of the court;
That threatened mob violence In tho cltv
of Atlanta while the trial was In progress
Interfered with tho duo course of Justice;
ainai frames lauure to raise Juris
dictional questions at tho time tho ver
dict was returned did not prevent him
from demanding his rights under the Fed
eral Constitution;
'That a habeas corpus proceeding was
tie proper courso to determine tho
Icnllty of his present detention In a
Georgia Jail.

ot, the Temple Baptist Church. Los An

which tho llov. Dr. Itobert J. Burdette,

years ago. Doctor Brougher was passing

Through tho words of tho evangelist
tho audience today heard tho cries of
suffering nnd tho laughter of tho healed
to whom tho Son of God brought Joy
Thoy wero made to see theso things
plnlnly. And they laughed, cried nnd ap
plauded throughout the discourse In
which Sunday portrayed tho story of
Christ's llfo In such vivid word pictures
that nono who heard him could fall to
feel tho power of tho Christ as told in
Ulhlo miracles.
Quoting from tho words of the leper
who was healed, the blind man who was
mado to see, the lame man who wns made
10 wain, mo motner whose dead child
wns returned to her alive, and scores of
other Blblo characters whoso lives of suf
fering wore changed to lives of rejoicing,
"Billy" depleted Christ as tho merciful
Master who camo to this world to redeem
It through His sacred blood. And then he
cited the few who criticised Christ and
stoned Him, and slandered Him and cruci
fied Him.
r. n. n. men attknd.
Prominent nmong tho delegations oc
cupying tho reserved section nt the taber
nacle this afternoon were 550 night em
ployes of tho Pennsylvania Railroad.
Other delegations were: Sixty employes
of tho Haupturcr Dairies, 00 members of
tho Nursery v.ommlttee, 50 members of
tho Children's Charity Sewing Circle, 60
delegates from Capo May and 12 persons
from tho Homo for the Aged.
" 'In tho beginning, God' This, ns wo
all know, is tho first verse of the Bible.
But how many of you here put God up
permost In your dally llfo and think
of Him at the beginning of each day?'
This la tho question "Blll" Sunday
asked more thnn S00 well-known residents
of Chestnut Hill and Germantown as
sembled In the homo of Mrs. Nathan A.
Taylor, 416 Moroland avenue, Chestnut
Hill, this morning.
The meeting, one of the regular Thurs
day morning homo prayer meetings, was
ono of tho most successful the evangelist
has held slnco coming to Philadelphia.
Tho large audience of men and women
who crowded "Efnemhelm," the Taylor
residence, wns deeply moved by tho
evangelist's stirring appeal, by imprea
sivo and tender stories told by Mrs. Sun
day and by tho songs sung by Homer A.
Itodehcavor, the choir loader. Many wero
moved to tears by tho sweet voices of 70
girls from Northfleld, Mass., who wero
tho guests of Mrs. Taylor for the occa
sion. "YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIANS."
" 'In the beginning, God," " Sunday re
peated, as he circled his arms In charac
teristic manner, as though to Include the
entire audience. "Many of you hero are
not living nt all. You aro just merely
existing. You arc not living because you
aro not Christians. Tho man who lives
without God is In my mind Just as big
a fool us the captain who attempts to
guide his ship by a clock Instead of by
a compuss. He'll dash his ship on the
rocks Just as suro as the man without
God will go to hell.
"Many of you, I am sure, begin to think
of God only when somo ono telephones
for the undertaker. I have chosen for
my text, 'Whcro thero Is no vision peo
ple must perish.' Every nation must hnvo
a vision of God. Wo don't need so many
submarines, so many forts or big stand
ing armies, but we do need tho vision of
God. Without God the nation will sink
into hell.
"Take thnt dress you have on," ho
said as he pointed to one of the women,
"tnko tho automobile you ride In; tako
tho suit I am wearing; everything, all In
life. Is an expression of thought. When
you pray to God I know you are think
ing of Him; when you live tn sin I know
you aro not thinking of Him. There are
no two ways about it.
"The tabernacle In Philadelphia shows
that God has other ways of drawing souls
to Him than tho old-fashioned way of
going to church on Sunday and living as
you please the remainder ot tho week.
That Is whut many of us have been doing
for tho last hundred years. No wonder
the world is going to hell.
"There are peoplo who are keeping
other from having a vision of God be
cause they preach their vile doctrines.
Every man who has evor been chosen to
preach the word of God has preached
fearlessly, regardless of what people may
say.
"When I hear any one befouling the
name ot Jesus, it makes me Just fighting
mad. I want to tell you right here that
I wouldn't give a snap of my flnger'for
a man or woman without plenty of gin
ger. You never heard me preach a ser
mon on how to keep your temper, did
you?
"I think there Is some wrong to be
found In tne ministry, Mind you, I am
not criticising ministers as a class, but
I am criticising some Individuals, With
some, their sermons are a reprint of the
last novel they have been reading; thoy
tack on the text for effect."
In closing, Sunday said that clergymen
make the mtatake of preaching to their
audiences as though their listeners were
all Christians. Instead, he declared, they
should address them as sinners, for many
of them have never known Jesus Christ.
Bentley D. Ackley, Sunday's pianist and
private secretary, and Miss Grace Baxe
were the other members of the evange
list's party who attended the meeting.
Many prominent ministers were also
present.

SUNDAY'S SERMON TODAY
SUBJECT: "WHO WAS JESUS"
In his tnbernnele Bermon this after'
noon "Billy" Sunday said:
i "So.1!? tlme nR0 l WH startled by hav
ing this question flame out upon mo
ifm I1.? heaalna of a dally newspaper.
Who Was Jesus?' Well, let us try to
nnd out who Ho was from somo of tho
people who lived when Ho wns here In
tho flesh, and who met Him face to face.
The Ilrst I will question aro a strong
man and his wife, and so to them I will
say! 'Who Wna Jesus7' Both their
faces brighten, and they both eagerly
exclaim, 'Why, Ho came to our wedding,
tnoiiah wo wero only poor nnd unknown
peasants nnd turned tho water' Into
wlno tor us, so that wo had ns much
Rood cheer ns If wo had been rich.'
'And did you loVo Him and keep up
acquaintance with Him afterward?'
'lcs, Indeed, sir, and we soon found
that tho more we loved Him the moro
wo loved each other, and the hnpplor
and moro contented wo wero In our hum
ble lot. Yes, sir; Ho has always been
mndo cordially welcome In our home,
nnd It hns been a Joy to set tho very
best we hnd before Him. Wo have never
had a trouble that Ho did not come to
deliver us from It or to bear it for us.'
" 'Did Vnu ever want to separato from
each other?'
" 'No, Indeed, sir. Wo shall always cling
to each other, nnd try to live to plenso
Jesus, for He Is the best friend we ever
had.
"And from countless other homes hns
come a testimony that Jesus was a gueft
at the wedding and a friend ever after
wards, who repeated tlmo and again tno
mlraclo of turning wntcr Into wlno for
them. Tho bitter wntcr of affliction,
poverty nnd misfortune He turned Into
tho wlno of blessing, hapl'iness nnd Joy,
and from thousands o'f others have como
tho bitter cry thnt Jesus wnntcd to turn
water Into wlno for them, but thoy
frowned upon Him and slammed tho door
In His face, and then dark shapes of dis
content nnd rancor, resentment nnd hato
stolo In nnd shattered their hearthstone.
"Next I see n father, a lordly man, and
with him thero walkB a noble youth of
frank, noble face.
" 'Who wns Jesus?' I say to this father,
and his eyes kliullo with a great Joy ns
ho makes quick reply: 'Why, sir. It was
Jesus who gave mo back this boy when
nil tho doctors said he mUBt die. When
thoy told mo this I was In despair, for
only tho father of an only son knows
how I loved my boy.
"Whllo I wns In this great darkness
of despair a friend camo and told me of
Jesus, nnd described porno of tho great
wonder sho had seen Him do. When I
learned tha.t Ho was only 17 miles away,
I called for tho fleetest of tho many high
bred horses In my stable, ana was soon ,

for Cana, In Gnlllce, where I found Jesus,
quietly teaching His disciples, and cried
out to Him from tho nngulsh of my soul:
Sir! Come down ero my child die!
With a look of such compasMon and
assurance that I hod confidence cro He
spoke, ho said, 'Go thy way; thy son
llvothl' nnd when I was still somo dis
tance from home my servants met mo
with tho glad news that my son was
well, I Inquired nt what hour the fever
loft him, and lo. It was at tho very tlmo
when Jesus said, Thy son Hvcth.
" 'From thnt day I became His disciple,
--.I o am nil mv fnmlly and servants.
and this noblo son of mine, that Ho gave
back from the grave, Is devoting to Him
his new-found life. Tt was Jesus who
turned sorrow Into Joy for" mo and mine.
That Is who Jesus was; the light anj
comfort of my home.' ,,,,.
"Next I seo a man well along In life, a
man whose hnlr Is gray, but whoso step
Is quick nnd strong; a man whoso face
Is full of happiness, and whoso cheek Is
ruddy with the glow ot health. But I
hall him and say, 'Who was Jesus7 And
at tho nnmo thero Is gladness In his eyes
and In Joyful tones lio cries out: 'Why,
sir It w.ib Jesus who made me what I
am today. For 3S long years I had lain
through storm and cold, and through heat
of Bummer, and through long, wakeful
niciitn nmnntr a creat number of sick
and holpless peoplo on the porch at tho
pool of nothesda, anxiously nnd nlmost
despairingly waiting for the nngel to movo
in tho water, that I might get Into tho
fountain nnd be healed; but I never had
any such good fortune.
" 'Somo one with more strength nnd
energy was always suro to get into tho
water ahead of me. In this way disap
pointment after disappointment sorely
disheartened me, until all hope died
within me, and I was sick In soul as well
as In body. But one day, nfter my hair
hnd becomo as gray as you sco It now,
thiough the long arid fruitless waiting.
a heartrending cry went up rrom mo
Blck, followed by a strugglo that shook
the place from one end of tho porch on
which I lay to the other, and from this
I knew thnt tho angel was again moving
In tho water.
"The next witness I would summon Is a
man so strong and robust that ho seems
never to have had an HI day In his life.
His flesh Is clear nnd ruddy, nnd has tho
sweet nnd wholesome look wo find in the
face of a child. Let us ask him 'Who
was Jesus?' Instantly his face Is so
rndlant It Is ovldent that he has Just
heard the name of his best friend. 'Who
was Jesus? Why, sir, it was Jesus who
mado life nil that it Is to me today. I
had long been a leper.'
"It first showed Itself In a little white
harmless-looking spot upon my hand
when I wns a boy. Somebody told the
high priest nbout It, and ho sent nn order
for me to come to the temple nnd be
exnmlned, according to our holy law, and
when It was proclaimed that I was a
leper, everybody shunned me.
"I was utterly desolate and without
hopo until ono day another leper told me
about Jesus, nnd still others told ot great
cures He had wrought, nnd yet others
told of how kind and compassionate He
was. One of them from a distance had
Been him touch a lame man and Instantly
make him well. Then I began to long
and hope and pray that He would some
day come near me. At last one day, after
many disappointments, I saw Him com
ing down a mountain, followed by a great
multitude, and without stopping to think
what I was doing, ran nnd fell on my
face before Him and cried out: 'Lord, if
thou wilt thou canst make me clean!'
"Instead ot rebuking me, as I deserved
for my insane presumption, and turning
coldly from me, as any rabbi would have
done. He laid his hand upon me and said;
I will. Be thou clean!' and Instantly I
was sound and well again, for my flesh
had become like that ot a little child, I
poured out my thanks to Him In a way
that quickly raised a tumult about Him,
and He charged me to go my way and
Bay no more about It, But I couldn't
keep my Joy to myself, and went on my
way, loudly declaring tp every ono what
had been done for me, and never once
crying out, 'Unclean I Unclean!' as I had
done for so many years. From then till
now I have been telling the story wher
ever I have gone.
"The next one I would summon is a
man who shows gladness In every step
he takes. Let us see if he can say any
thing that will help us, and so I will put

the question to him nt once: 'Who was
Jesus?' His face fairly shines ni he
snys! 'Why It wns Jesus who opened
my eyes nnd gave mo sight, and that
gave me all tho beauty there Is In the
world.' 'nut how long hnd you been
blind?' 'All my life. I had been In dark
ness always, for I was born blind, 'And
how much dld'you hnve lo pay Him for
opening your tyes, and how long did It
take Him to do It7' 'Oh, nothing nt nil.
I wns a poor beggar, nnd could havo done
nothing had He wnntcd me lo pay. And
He gavo me my sight very quickly, too.'
" "Tell us about It. Where wns Ho nnd
how did you find Him nnd get to Him?'
'I didn't find him. He found me. I was
begging near the temple, nt the place
where I had been begging for years, and
one Sabbath day Ho came to me, and
Bald He wnB going to give me my sight.
I didn't know what Ho meant, and
showed very little Interest In the mat
ter. But presently Ho made clay nnd
put It on my eyes, and then I began to
think Hint something wns going to hap
pen. Then Ho told me to go to tho pool
of Slloam and wnsh off the clay. I went
nnd washed nnd received sight.'
"Tho next witness I would like to call
Is a woman; a matron who has silver In
her hair, but her face Is peaceful, nnd
has a look of happy content. Let me
ask her the great question. 'Who wns
Jckus7' nnd nt tho name n gicnt light
transfigured her ns she says with tears
of Joy In her eyes: 'Who wns Jesus?
Why, sir, It was Jesus who brought my
son agnln to llfo when ho was dead, nnd
nil was so dark nnd desolate in my poor
heart. Tho hoy wns nil I hnd, and ho had
been tho support and stay of my life. He
was so strong and mnnly; so noble nnd
so brave, nnd wns always good lo me.
He filled our home with sunshine and
tried to save me from all care and anx
iety by tnkln? nil the burden of our af
fairs upon himself.
" 'But ono day he was brought homo
very III by some of his friends, who were
with him when ho was stricken. He grew
worso from hour to hour, nnd In three
days ho was dead. I was heart-broken
nnd desolate and little dreamed that I
could over see tho sun look bright ngnln.
Tho time came for his burial and we wero
taking his poor body out to the place ot
the dead, many people going with us, for
ho wns known nnd loved by nil.
" 'Four oung men of his own nge wero
bearing his body on n bier, nnd when we
had como almost to the grave we met a
largo company, and a Man camo after
ward who looked upon me with great
compassion nnd ald 'Weep not.' Then He
camo and touched tho bier, and they that
bore It Rtood still, for they knew not what
to do, such a thing hnvlng never hap
pened Derore. Then Ho that halted it
said: 'Young man, I say unto thee,
nrlsol' Then ho thnt was dead sat up and
began to speak, and then he wns restored
to mo nnd we returned to our homo with
great Joy. And, sir, that was Jesus, who
gave mc back my boy, nnd mv son who
was dead Is allvo again, became one of
His most earnest disciples from that
hour '
"Next I see a strong man of largo sta
ure, of broad shoulders and tall, who
comes with quick and ringing step, In the
midst of a group of happy, noisy little
children. Ono little fellow with sunny
hair Is perched high on his shoulder, two
or three others aro clinging to his hand.
"All the rest nre laughing and shout
ing in great glee. Let us halt this
great giant of a fellow and see what
answer he will make to the question,
Who was Jesus?' The same glnd look
we have noted In all the others brightens
his face at tho name, nnd then he says,
'Why, sir. It was Jesus who drove a
lesion of devils out of me devils so
violent that when they entered Into a
herd of M00 swine that were quietly
feeding nearby, they ran frantically down
a steep place Into the sea, and perished
In tho waters.
" 'Before thnt day I had long been
known ns n wild man, of whom every
body was afraid. I made my dwelling
among tho tombs, and I was so fierce
that no man dared to como mv mv.
Sometimes In my torment I would become
so wild and frenzied, nnd tho terrors I
created wore so terrible that armed men
in great numbers would hunt mo down
and overpower me and bind me with
chains nnd shackles, but sooner or Inter
tho strongest fetters nnd the safest
prison would be unablo to hold me, and
I would escape agnln to the tombs where
l would be more terrible than ever. In
my frenzy I would tear Into shreds the
clothes they hnd put on me, nnd theso
scars you see on my hands and face nre
from wounds where the devils made mo
cut myself with stones, nnd thero are
others like them all over my body.
" 'And so I have been going here nnd
thero throughout tho whole city over
since, Bhowlng myself to the peoplo who
thronged tho streets to see mo, and tell
ing them tho wonderful story of what
Jesus had dono for' me. I had so long
been such a terror to the peoplo that
many had to see that tho wonderous
change In me could only have been
wrought by the power of God, and
through my witness many In our land
now believe In Jesus; and even some of
those who lost their swine nnd were for
a time madly bitter on account of It,

Unitarian
Christianity
The bellqf In the deity ot JesuB
rests for many upon statements
made In the fourth Gospel. But this
Gospel, It is well known, is not an
historical account; It was not meant
to be so. It wan the outcome of the
meeting' of two great streams ot
thought in Alexandria, the Greek
and the Jewish, the spiritualized
Measlanlo conception ot the latter.
Identified with the personality of
JeaUB, being merged with the Logos
doctrine of the Greeks, The fourth
Gospel Is frankly a doctrinal state
ment meant to present Jesus as the
Logos "the Word made flesh." There
is in this Oospel no story of the Vir
gin birth. The Logos exists from
eternity. There Is no mention of
the baptism of Jesua by John, There
is no account of the temptation. The
Logos cannot be tempted. Jesus
nere eaia no rascnai meal. He him
self hi the Paschal Lamb. His death
Is placed contrary to the first three
Gospels on the 14th Nlsan. This
Gospel probably did not appear un
til abo.ut the year 125 A. v., and Its
doctrinal statements and presenta
tion of Jesua as Ood, so obviously
out of harmony with the historical
accounts of the Synoptic Gospels,
can in no way be considered as repre
senting the thought of Jesus himself
or of the Apostles,
The Transformation of the Thought
of Jesua in Early Christianity
and the Truth as Seen Today
will be the subject, of the sermon
