Noondny Lenten sorvlccs In live churchos and n theatre In the centre of the city todny were attended by many persons. Tho development of personal character and tho spirit of Lent wcro tho chief themes of tho dlscourtcs. At St. Stephen's, 10th Btrcet above Chestnut, Bishop Williams, of Michigan, concluded his scries of five nddrcs&es. He pointed out tho mistake of mere ostensible repentance In the Lcntetrseason. Ho told the story of the Kins of Samaria who went dally to tho gates ot his capital wearing sackcloth beneath his regal gar ments In the hope or urlngtng to an end a pestilence that Iny upon his people. "One should not Inflict 'his sorrows upon others," he said. "Ono should not Haunt his penance In tho face of the world. If one wishes to do pennnco for his sins ho should not mako an outward dl&play ot his actions but should wear. his sorrows Inwardly." "SLAVES OF CUSTOM" Rev. H. D. Viets Urges Christians to Be Independent. "Applying tho Character of Christ to Our Own Character" was tho subject of today's noon Lenten sermon nt Old Ht. Potcr's Church, 3d and Pine streets, de livered by the Rev. Harry D. Vlcts, tho Junior curate. Ho declared that In the present age nlmost no ono escaped tho weakness of aping his fellows and that Christian life demanded greater Independ ence. "Men tt our day are molded by tho society fi which they form a part," said Doctor Viets. "They yield 'readily to tho ldens and habits of their fellows. A few master spirits set the pace for a thousand men. "There Is a very real slavery in tho so cial world. Few men aro strong enough to cut across the customs and fashions of their strata of society. The strong and seemingly independent become meio echoes of their neighbors and haBten to fall In behind the crowd In tho well beaten paths. "Christ was not molded by the society of his day. Ho could not be manipulated. He refused to be used. He wns always In dependent, unshackled and free. Ho would have us Imitate His tenacity ot will In the structuro of our Christian charac tei." WAY OF THE CROSS llev. J. 0. S. Huntington Tells Hearers It Is Way to Live. The P.ov. J. O. S. Huntington, O. H. C, speaking at the Garrlck Theatre noonday service today, bade his hearers consider the ways whereby men come to love God. "The way to live Is the way ot tho cross," he said. "It Is tho pressure of some need or the sting of pain which rouses us to go forward. It Is that which drives us from the love of self for self to call upon God, which moves us to persevere In our prayer, which makes us seek, with a deepening sense of our own unworthl ness, those better gifts which God has for us. And so It Is by the cross that we pass from love of God for self, to love of God for God. Tho cross reveals to us the self-sacrificing love of God for us. To receive God we must sacrifice ourselves to him. AVe must desire, not so much his gifts even spiritual gifts but to give ourselves to Him, Our cry must be: "Not thine but thee." CHRIST AS BASIS OF FAITn Belief in Saviour Foundation of All Relig'on, Speaker Says. "Faith" was tho subject of the sermon preached today by the Rev. Dr. Floyd W, Tomklns, rector of tho Church of the Holy Trinity, at tho noonday services In Old St. Paul's Church, 3rd street below Walnut. "Faith," said Doctor Tomklns, "con sists In facts concerning a divine person. It Is not a philosophy or a theory; it Is the unswerving belief In what Christ was and what Chrlat did. Hence, all our faith centres in Htm. Without Him there can ho no faith." Bill for Army-Navy Review WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.

Williams, of MlchU gan, who has been preaching noonday Lenten sermons at St. Stephen's Church, 10th street above Chestnut, refused to mako a statement today In regard to the report that charges of heresy wero about to be brought against him by Episcopal clergymen In Michigan. Bishop Williams said that It was true that charges of "corrupting the word of God with Unitarian teachings" had been i made, but beyond thnt he would not speak. An agitation In Michigan to have the Illsliop arraigned before an ecclesi astical court, according to dispatches re ceived today, Ib expected to reach a climax In a few days, Bishop Williams left for Detroit Im mediately after the sermon today. He has been Bishop of the Michigan diocese for 10 years. CRUSHED ON ROOF OF TRAIN New York Man Killed While Stealing Ride to Washington.

Iouls Marshall, attorney for Frank, concluded soon nfler court convened, and the representatives of Georgia began their effort to convince the tribunal that Frank's nppeal from the decision of the Fedcrnl Court of Georgia denying him a writ of habeas corpus, shonld not be granted. Speaking of tho trial accorded Prank, Mr. Marshall said: "There was no longer any court, no longer nny trial, no longer any Jury. What remnlned of legnt procedure wns a mero form nnd trnvesty. The Jurisdic tion of the court had gone. It wns a Judicial lynching. There wns no moro a court there thnn If Judge Iloan had been physically driven from tho benefn." Tho argument for the State of Georgia wns made by Attorney General Warren Grlce and Solicitor General Hugh Dor sey.
