SALVATION MEANS GROWTH ,
Doctor McKim Pleads for Continuous j
Spiritual Experience.
' Conversion, not as t-alvatlon, but ns tho
first stone In the creation ot a structuro i
which when completed means salvation, j
was tho thought auvnnccu u 41. i.u.
dolph H. McKIm, of Washington, In his
icrmon at tha noonday Lenten service In
St. Stcphon'H Church, 10th Btreet above
Chestnut street, today.
Doctor McKIm spoko on the theme
"Work Out Your Own Salvation." He
aid In part:
"Co-operation between God and man is
tho work of salvation. Tho Word Is used
In two different connections. Sometimes
It refers to the pardoning of sin. In that
sense wo have nothing to do with it. It
hsi been worked out by Christ, and to
participate in it only faith Is needed Hut
this salvation from guilt nnd s In has a
broader and fuller aim. of which It Is only
tho germ. It la In a realization ot this
that our own efforts and works'como nto
clay. In tho formal sense, salvation Is a
thing past and finished. In tho larger
aonse, It Is still to be worked out.
Let mo emphasize the nature ut salva
tion. In Its wider sense, as a progiess
and a growth, It Is not an Isolated event
or a momentary experience. Thero wc
must distinguish widely between salvation
and conversion.
SEES GREATER DEMOCRACY
Minister Declares This Will Be Ono
Great Result of War.
Thero will bo Increased democracy In
the world as a result of the present war.
This prediction was made today by the
Rev. Llewellyn N. Caley, pastor of the
Church of St. Juda and the Nativity, at
the noonday Lenten service In Old St.
Paul's Church, 3d street below Wal
nut. He spoke on "Tho Great War." and
among other things said:
"One of the common subjects of con
versation Is tho great war. The tesult
can only cause good. The first result will
be the Increased democracy of nations;
the second, the brotherhood of man, and
tho third, the fear of God.
"There has been another great war go
ing on since the days of the Garden of
Eden. This id tho battle between right
and wrong, God against Satan. I ask
ou to fight manfully on God's side. If
you do, there will be no doubt ot tho re
sult. It will bo an etornal and universal
'victory."
URGES SURRENDER TO GOD
Minister Says Skeptics and Infidels
Do Not Want to Give In.
Tha Rev. W. A. Snyder, of St. Luke's
Lutheran Church. Brooklyn, speaking at
Bt, John's Church, Raco street below 6th,
urged a complete surrender to the will of
God,
"Unsurrendered wills," ho said, "He
bao kof all skepticism. Infidelity and In
difference to God. The reason wo havo
people who argue against the Bible and
Church Is not because they are really In
earnest In their argument, but because
they do not wish to BUbmlt to the will or
God.
"Further, the reason we have so many
denominations Is because some leader
would not submit to tho will of God as
taught In the Word of God."
SAYS LOVE IS AIM OF MAN
Doctor Walker Preaches Lenton Ser
mon at St. Peter'8.
"Persons who look for what they dc
tervo should be inmates of an Insano
asylum." Bald the Rev. John TV. "Walker,
vicar of the Memorial Church of the Holy
Comforter, In his noonday Lenten talk
at St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal
Church, M and Pine streets. He continued
his Lenten theme of "Our Opportunity In
Life,"
"Our real opportunity lies in our chance
of winning Jove," he said. "Those who
would offer wealth and station end In tho
divorce court. The man who is willing to
sacrifice his life for others, lie alone finds
the Joys of loving and being loved. Such
Uvea are foud In the persons of Father
Datnlen, Florence Nightingale and Bishop
Howe."
JUST LOVES HIS CHICKEN
Jim Robbln Finds His Dainty Break
fast iiuvucf i,u3wy
..
When Jim Robbln eats chicken lie likes
To cook it himself. He also believes that
chicken Is fresher when captured In the
coop. While ornithologists have never
aid anything about a Robin's attach
ment for a chicken, Jim Bobbin's love
of ft chicken belonging to Daniel Petro, of
S123 Mlllman street, got him into a. lot of
trouble.
Jim was discovered scalping a healthy
looking chicken In Petro's coop today, and
when the latter questioned him, Jim said
be -was simply getting ready to eat the
chicken. As Robbln seemed annoyed by
the interruption, Petro shut the door of
the coop aijd locked Jim In with the fowl.
Then after telephoning the police, Petro
tood guard outside the door with a
tfagon trace.
When the police opened the door of the
cpop, Jim was In the middle of a chicken
dinner. It seemed that he roasted the
bird over a straw flre, being In a hurry.
He "told Magistrate, Pennock that he
Blmpl dropped Into the coop to sleep, but
he also Included his breakfast without
asking Petro s permission, lie was sent
o the. Jriouae of Correction for six
months.

SAVES 22 CENTS OX HIS
FAKE TO ATLANTIC CITY
Ingenious Man Discovers Method of
Economizing.
A method of "beating" tho Pennsylvania
Railroad out of 22 cents on the fare to
Atlantic City has boon evolved by a
persistent Investigator who felt annoyed
when Hie line added 25 cents to tho faro
to that resort. Like all good systems, It
Is exceedingly simple, requiring merely
that the purchaser got his return ticket In
Camden.
There Is no sating on the one-way fare
either by the electric or steam lines of
tlip Pennsylvania system to Atlantic City.
On the electric the one-way fnre from
either side of the river Is $1.25 and the
ono-wny fnre on tho steam lino Is JU0.
Tho loinul-tilp faro for a ticket pur
chased at Market street ferry or Broad
Street is 52.23 by steam train and JJ by
electric. For tho samo trip, If the ticket
Is bought In Camden, tho prices are,
steam train $2 and electric $1.73.
After the passenger has pnld 3 cents
for a feiry ticket on his way to tho coast
resort ho will have saved 22 cents. No
ferry ticket Is necessary returning, be
cause passengers nro discharged in tho
ferry terminal at Camden and all tho pas
senger has to do Is walk Into the boat
and rldo freo to Philadelphia.

should give assurance of a return to the
